Kobe Bryant Says Women Can Play in the NBA
Retired basketball superstar, Kobe Bryant was quoted as saying he believed there are currently three women in the WNBA who could play in the NBA. "Diana Taurasi, Maya Moore, Elena Della Donne. There's a lot of great players out there so they could certainly keep up with them," he said. Unlike the WNBA, which is a professional basketball league held up as a form of charity for women by the NBA, the NBA is not a gender specific league. The NBA is a professional basketball league which hires the best players available. Does Kobe Bryant really believe women could play in today’s NBA? Do you?

The Queen Of Basketbal Hortência 4 (Female Michael Jordan) And Stephen Curry 30 Full HD
#DubNation Hortência Crowned #FIBAWWC GOAT in Fan Vote http://www.fiba.basketball/en/womensbasketballworldcup/2018/news/hall-of-famer-hortencia-crowned-fibawwc-goat-in-fan-vote TERESA EDWARDS( (born July 19, 1964) is an American former women's basketball player. In 2000, Sports Illustrated magazine placed her as 22nd of the "100 Greatest Female Athletes of the 20th Century".): Hortência was, to be perfectly honest, unstoppable, for his height, speed and technique in pitches. Certainly in selections environment, it was the best player against whom I played directly.Hortência was invited to play in the WNBA but not accepted and It is unacceptable that these some North American basketball experts,didn't cite her as the biggest and best basketball player of all time and not Taurasi because she was born in USA, and have played in the WNBA. She together with Magic Paula, already beat, the US women's basketball selection for three times, once took place in Havana in 1991 Pan American Games in Cuba in which they were champions, another in the American Cup in Brazil in 1993 froam other vice in 1994 munidal in Australia, where they became champions. Michael Jordan never made more than 100 points in a game (his record is 96). The Brazilian player Hortencia, has scored 124. However, Hortencia and Paula are the heart and soul of the team, two shooting guards who somehow co-exist in international play. Hortencia has the greater international reputation, partly for having scored 64 points in one game six or seven years back,With her ponytail swinging back and forth and her expressive face and constant chatter, she is more noticeable. Hortencia In Brazil, The Name Stands For Excellence In Struggling Sport Of Women's Basketball In Brazil, they simply refer to her as Hortencia. She might not be as well known as that country's legendary soccer star, Pele. But Hortencia Marcara, the explosive 5-8 guard on the Brazilian basketball team, is generally regarded as the best women's player in South America, and possibly the best in the Pan American Games. "She basically goes by one name," U.S. coach Jody Conradt said. "That gives you a clue as to how good she is. I can only think of Pele, Reggie and Hortencia." Hortencia established herself as a world presence at the 1983 Pan Am when she dropped 48 points on the U.S. in Caracas, Venezuela. She tortured a touring University of Tennessee team in June, scoring 43 points during a 100-82 victory over the defending NCAA champions. "She's the best shooter I've ever seen," Conradt said after watching Marcari shoot 16-for-22 and score 37 points during a 69-point route of hapless Peru. "She's the most exciting player in the world.. Hortencia already has destroyed a lot of teams in her native country, where the talent pool is limited. She recently scored an eye-opening 124 points during a 252-31 victory in a tournament held at Sao Paulo State. Hortencia plays for Minercal, a club team sponsored by a lime-producing factory in her hometown of Sorocaba. Sorocaba is a city of 100,000, located in the interior of the Southeast region. But Hortencia has put it on the map. According to Brazilian journalists covering the tournament, she earns the equivalent of $40,000 a year, which is roughly 100 times the average annual wage. Hortencia is 27 years old. She is the youngest of seven children. She started playing at age 13 and had to develop on her own since none of her siblings ever competed in the sport. Hortencia works as a recreation leader and helps support her parents, who are retired. She practices five hours a day. "My life is basketball," she said through an interpreter. She and Oscar Schmidt of the unbeaten Brazilian men's team have helped keep basketball alive in a country where the popularity of the sport is slipping. Volleyball is taking over, particularly in the bigger cities. But Hortencia could become as big a story as the Brazilian men's volleyball team if her team wins a gold medal here. Hortencia is a pure shooting guard with range that routinely extends beyond the international 20-feet, 6-inch three-point line. "She makes points naturally," Brazilian coach Maria Helena Cardoso said. "I hate it when people think I have to score points," Hortencia said. ''I'm not preoccupied with that." There are some, like Edwards, who would disagree. Edwards stopped just short of calling Hortencia a gunner "If I was on their team and could shoot full-time and never worry about anybody else's feelings, that would be great. I don't fear Brazil. I fear Hortencia." Strengths: Stephen Curry is not only one of the best shooters in the NBA today, he may be one of the best shooters the league has ever seen. To go along with his shooting ability, he is an extremely smart player who works hard at his craft. He’s willing to do whatever it takes to win.

KOBE BRYANT - "Dear Basketball" | Motivational Short Film | 2019 HD Tribute Grammy 2020 [FULL] Movie
Kobe Bryant Memorial CEREMONY GIANNA BRYANT, STAPLES CENTER 2/24 FEBUARY 24, 2020 FULL Tom Brady was 'deeply affected' by death of Kobe Bryant How Kobe Bryant's #girldad created a special movement ESPN Staff Writer -- New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady shared a five-paragraph essay Tuesday that he wrote about how he has been "deeply affected" by the death of Kobe Bryant, Bryant's daughter Gianna, and seven others in a January helicopter crash. In the piece posted on social media titled "What's really important?" Brady wrote that after witnessing the "outpouring of love and support for the families that had so much left to give," it has helped him reflect and gain perspective. He shared that the tragedy has kept him up at night and led to many tears. Tom Brady @TomBrady 80.4K 10:43 AM - Feb 25, 2020 Twitter Info 15.6K people are talking about this Brady posted the essay one day after a celebration of Bryant's life in Los Angeles included touching remarks from Bryant's widow, Vanessa, as well as basketball stars Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal and Diana Taurasi, among others. "In Kobe, we were able to witness the man in the arena. For many of us, sports show what we are made of, they define our personalities and emotions. We cannot hide from the good or the bad, from the wins or the losses ... the joy and despair, the happiness and the pain," Brady wrote. "What you see is what it is, we aren't actors. We have found a real life stage where we become vulnerable to the world and are judged based on the outcome of each performance. And we care deeply about what we do. "For some, these days are the pinnacle of their life, and there's nothing wrong with that, but it's clear to me, for Kobe, that was how he lived his life in every way. In his second chapter, you saw even more." Vanessa Bryant leads memorial for Kobe, Gianna Kobe Bryant memorial: The moments that moved us from the celebration of life inside Staples Center The intersection of emotion at Kobe Bryant's memorial Brady noted how Bryant "had the energy to recognize in others what they could not recognize in themselves." "I think that's why I will miss him most," Brady wrote, later calling Bryant a "real superhero our world needs. "That's why we hurt. Because we know that he was always fighting against the norm. He was doing more than his share. Now who is going to do the work that is still here to be done? Who is going to fight and break the norms with love and joy and inspiration? Who is going to discard fear, and doubt, and hate? Who is going to carry the load and be the superhero that he was? "The answer is simple to me, ALL OF US. Decide to make the change in yourself. If there is anything I have learned and been inspired by through this tragic event, it is this, SEIZE THE DAY. That's what Kobe always did, and that's what he wanted for us too."
