Kobe Bryant: The Helping Hand
Kobe Bryant stopped to help the people involved in a high-speed car accident he witnessed in 2018.
Kobe witnessed someone crash into me at 65mph. He ran to my car. He helped. Most of all, he was kind. A week later, he saw me and my family at Starbucks. He told my wife how lucky I was to be alive”, Ryan said.
From that time on, whenever we’d see him in Newport Coast, he continued to be kind. A fist bump to my son…a high five to my daughter…a word of wisdom to me.
A month ago, we witnessed another accident in the neighbourhood. Kobe consoled each and every person on the scene, especially the kids. He was kind to them like he was kind to me.”
