It is very tragic how Kobe, his daughter and the other passengers of the helicopter crash over a year ago died. 
Yes. it really was.  It was so sad that they were on the way to the Mamba Sports Academy for a youth basketball event.  It just shows how caring and loving of a father he must have been.
Yes he was very focused on his daughters and girl's basketball in general. I'm sure she would have had a major impact on the sport as her career progressed. He also wrote a book for children based on basketball and magic/wizardry. 
Oh yeah, that's right!  I think it was called the Wizenard series or something like that.  He was always an advocate for reading but and that must have carried over to his love for kids and encouraging them to read.
Yes it's called The Wizenard Series: Training Camp. It was given to me as a gift but would definitely recommend it for children. Helps them to face their fears and see obstacles as challenges. Were you a fan of Kobe the player? 
Yes. Kobe was a great player and the Los Angeles Lakers a great team.  His career has been fascinating ever since he was a high school student in Pennsylvania in the late 1990s.
Yes it was a great career.  Followed him from day one when I was a teenager so it was hard to see him die especially in such a tragic manner. He has served as an inspiration to work hard at whatever I do. Do you have any favorite moments of his? 
I think one of the highlights for me was the game in 2006 or somewhere in there when he scored 81 points in a single game.  Or maybe when Matt Barnes pretended to throw a ball at his face and he didn't even flinch. He was a legend.
Yeah those were obviously legendary moments. For me it is the 2 free throws he hit after tearing his Achilles and walking off the court on his own.
Oh, no doubt that was an epic moment as well.  It is hard to choose.  He was a fantastic player and a stand-up guy.
