But the next day came and he was still cool. Then the playoffs started and he was still candid. The frown never appeared. Not for long, anyway.
Derek Fisher watched him from afar. They had grown up together and should’ve gone out together. Or at least parted on their own terms. He had seen Bryant evolve from the petulant young star to the man he is today. They had learned how to stay centered from Jackson. The journey mattered as much as the destination.

“He’s evolving as a leader. That’s what’s really been remarkable about his career is that he’s continued to evolve in that area.”
Good read.
Even when Kobe does eventually retire i don’t think he’ll ever stop.

Tapas from Blue Stove
crispy/spice black cherry glazed beef, roasted butternut squash w/ shitake mushrooms in a brown butter sauce, sweet potato frites, calamari, and risotto croquettes.
All of this is phenomenal! stumbled upon this by accident and can’t wait to go back! the pictures don’t even do the food any justice!
this was a gem that i had stumbled upon when visiting Santa Monica.
you can find this restaurant on the 3rd floor of the Nordstrom at 3rd Street Promenade.
the dishes were all reasonably priced and excellent! this is a great place to go with a group of friends that enjoy sharing dishes! i hope to go back to see if they do change their menu.
