During his 41 years of life, Kobe Bryant was captured thousands of times through the lens of both professional photographers and ardent fans around the world.
But perhaps of all that sea of photographs that have now become more current due to the unexpected and tragic end of the LA Lakers player - which occurred last Sunday in Calabasas, California - there is one that is outstanding and has even gone viral because it is Perhaps the last time the four-time NBA champion was caught alive.
This is a spontaneous selfie taken by the little 13-year-old Brady Smigiel on the Saturday afternoon before the player's death and that was captured at the end of a game at the Mamba Academy, established by the famous player in California..
The boy told CNN that Bryant was able to see the photo and that since it did not go well, he promised to take another photo later. Promise that logically he could no longer comply. “[He told me] it was blurred. Tomorrow we take a better photo, "explained little Brady to the source.
The next morning, the helicopter in which the player was traveling along with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven other people, collapsed, taking their lives.
Little Bryant and his brother Beau play on the Edge team of the aforementioned basketball academy where Gigi, Bryant's late daughter, who was part of the Lady Mambas team, also played. The minors are obsessed with the game of basketball and were staunch fans of Kobe Bryant.
"I woke up on Sunday and heard that a helicopter had crashed in Calabasas and said to my family, 'Oh God, a helicopter fell at the same time that Kobe is supposed to arrive in Camarillo. God willing, it is not his and Gigi's,”exclaimed Dionne Reich Smigiel, mother of the twins, to the aforementioned chain. “Then, an hour later, they gave me the news. It's all so sad."
