Kobe Bryant’s long list of philanthropic work

The late 5x NBA champion was also more than a great basketball player. The LA Lakers legend made sure that he impacted people’s lives as much as possible. During his career spanning two decades, Kobe granted over 200 Make-a-wish requests. When asked about it, he said he realized the impact that he had as a superstar athlete but also understood that it may all be over soon. His mentality was that he must use his time to inspire others and spread as much joy as he could.

Apart from that, the late legend was also an advocate for Stand Up to Cancer, After School All-Stars, and Step Up on Second among other projects. Kobe lived for everything that he claimed and it is heartening to see Vanessa carrying the family’s legacy forward.
