Tom Brady further wrote, '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. 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.'
