Kobe Bryant is one of the greatest players to ever play the game and played a huge role in helping to build the NBA’s brand, and even though he’s no longer playing he’s still finding ways to inspire the next generation of basketball players.

Earlier this week, Kobe and his wife, Vanessa, made a $5,000 donation to the Roseville High girls’ basketball program.

The school’s Twitter account mentioned that a freshman student by the name of Lane reached out to Bryant for some support and the 5-time NBA champion stepped up pretty quickly.
