Russell Wilson supplied a heartfelt message of optimism and reflection after a pivotal second in his skilled life.
The NFL quarterback posted a video to Instagram on Tuesday, Dec. 29 of himself carrying a Kobe Bryant jersey and a pair of the “Grinch”-style Nikes that the NBA famous person had popularized. Next month will mark a year since Kobe and 13-year-old daughter Gianna Bryant died in a tragic helicopter crash.
“Expensive Kobe & GiGi… Thanks for being an inspiration. #Mamba #24 #8 #2,” Russell captioned the somber tribute that started with him strolling into the stadium, accompanied by orchestral music. The footage was recorded at Lumen Area, house to Russell’s Seattle Seahawks, and the message got here two days after his crew clinched a spot within the playoffs by capturing the NFC West title with a hard-fought win over the Washington Soccer Staff.
“Your loved ones means quite a bit to my household,” Russell mentioned concerning the late athlete who usually referred to himself as Black Mamba. “We love you all. For this recreation, we needed to deliver the Mamba mentality.”
