Boston, United States.- This Friday marks one more year since the basketball player’s death Kobe Bryant and his daughter, who died in an accident, and the world of basketball has not let this go unnoticed, so the messages and memories from colleagues and fans have been many and among these a reflection ofe Jayson Tatumthe eaves of the Boston Celtics, who regretted not having spent more time with the former player of Lakers.

“It’s bittersweet. I can’t believe she’s not here anymore. And what I regret is that she wishes she had called more. “I wish I had sent him more text messages,” Tatum said in an interview with Andscape. The Celtics player considered that he could always be busy because of what he was holding back when trying to communicate with him, according to his account. “I always thought he was very busy. I never wanted to bother him.

“We knew each other. He told me to text him and call him anytime. But I almost freaked out. I could only imagine all the things he was doing. I didn’t want to bother him. And obviously, after what happened, I wish closer. I had so many questions that I wanted to know the answers to. I should have called him more and he taught me a lesson,” he said.

This situation made him change his way of being with the most experienced players and now he does not hesitate to speak to get opinions and advice from the stars. “Now I don’t hold back with the older players in the league, like ‘Bron.’ LeBron He’s someone I text and call a lot, and it can be anything from basketball to body care to off-the-court business decisions. People are willing to give you answers, you just have to ask,” she said.

On the other hand, he analyzed the impact that Bryant has had on the National Basketball Association (NBA), as well as the players and the public. “The impact he had on so many people around the world is evident even to this day. Even for me, a kid who grew up thousands of miles from Los Angeles and who watched him play, watched his interviews and his workouts and just I wanted to steal a big part of his game,” said Tatum, who highlighted the former basketball player’s mentality as an example.
