When it comes to Kobe Bryant, his impact goes beyond athletes.
As witnessed by the love for Bryant, his family, and those affected by the tragedy, the 41-year-old inspired everyone through the game of basketball.
After 20 seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers, Bryant’s seamless transition to Kobe Inc. and Granity Studios was inspiring and he still had so much to give.
With the world mourning the loss of Bryant, Bad Bunny released a tribute song called ‘6 Rings’ to honor one of the greatest NBA players of all time.
While Bryant won five championships in seven NBA Finals appearances, the sixth ring that Bad Bunny mentions is the only one that truly matters.
Thank you to Bad Bunny and here are the lyrics in Spanish and English:
[Intro: Bad Bunny]…For the night at least, trying for 80
“Did I miss anything while I was gone?”
“Just another one of many”
“Oh, okay”
Kobe Bryant, 28-for-46 from the field
This will be 18-for-20 from the line and an
81 point! For this crowd for number 8, Kobe Bryant!
Yeh, ey
A veces me pregunto si hago bien en respetar los mandamiento’
Y, ¿dónde estará Dios metío’ en estos momento’?
Sé que la vida es corta como cuento
Y en un abrir y cerrar se las lleva el viento
Aún recuerdo el primer juego tuyo que presencié
Mil emocione’, muchas vece’ me pusiste de pie
Me enseñaste que todo en la vida se hace con pasión
Y que pa’ ganar hay que tener corazón
Nos enseñaste que el número 13 no es de mala suerte
Y que los fracaso’ pueden hacernos más fuerte’
Digan lo que quieran, pa’ mí será’ el mejor, ey
Descansa en paz con el Señor
Y felicidades, tú también ganaste seis sortija’
Cinco en la NBA y un matrimonio que te dio tus hija’
Pensando que una se fue contigo, me descontrolo
Pero nah, eso es pa’ que en el cielo no juegue’ solo
Má’ de 81 razones pa’ admirarte
Má’ de cinco jugadore’ al mismo tiempo pa’ pararte
Nos parecíamo’ en que hacíamo’ arte
Black Mamba forever, je
Por siempre vamo’ a recordarte, yeh
And from the bottom of my heart, thank you
And uh— what can I say?
Mamba out
Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, Kobe
…For the night at least, trying for 80
“Did I miss anything while I was gone?”
“Just another one of many”
“Oh, okay”
Kobe Bryant, 28 for 46 from the field
This will be 18 for 20 from the line and an
81 point! For this crowd for number 8, Kobe Bryant!
Yeah, ey
Sometimes I wonder if I do well at respecting the Commandments
And where’s God in these moments?
I know life’s short, as I say
And in a blink of an eye, the wind takes it away
I still remember the first game of yours that I witnessed
Thousand emotions, many times you had me on my feet
You taught me that everything in life is done with passion
And to win you need to have a heart
You taught us that the number 13 isn’t bad luck
And the failures can make us stronger
Say whatever you want, to me he is the best, ayy
Rest in peace with the Lord
And congrats, you also won six rings
Five in the NBA and a one from a marriage that gave you four daughters
Thinking one of them left with you, I lose control
But nah, it’s so you don’t play alone in Heaven
More than 81 reasons to admire you
More than five players at the same time to stop you
We were alike in that we both made art
Black Mamba forever, heh
We will always remember you, yeah
And from the bottom of my heart, thank you
And uh… what can I say?
Mamba out
Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, Kobe
