Kobe moduwa bisan injured tungod sa fans: Vanessa Bryant

Sulod sa iyang 20 ka tuig sa NBA wa gyud magpalupig sa injury si Kobe Bryant. Gani, nakahimo pa kini’g pasulod sa duha ka free throws bisan na-tear na ang iyang Achilles tendon sa duwa batok Golden State Warriors niadtong 2013.
Daghan pud nga higayon nga miduwa gihapon si Bryant bisan pa adunay ankle sprain, torn ligament o broken fingers. Nagtuo ang kadaghanan nga tungod gyud kini sa competitive spirit sa 5-time NBA champion.
Apan adunay laing perspektibo nga gipaambit ang asawa niini nga si Vanessa Bryant atol sa Basketball Hall of Fame enshrinement kagahapon. Matod niini, nga gibuhat ...
