Tracy McGrady who is a close friend to the Los Angeles Lakers legend, Kobe Bryant in an interview following the death of Bryant in a helicopter crash on Sunday revealed that Bryant used to tell him he wanted to die young and be immortalised.
“(Kobe Bryant) used to say all the time: ‘I want to die young… I want to be immortalized…I want my career to be better than Michael Jordan’s,’ and I used to just think he was so crazy for saying that.”
Bryant gave McGrady a huge compliment in his book titled: “The Mamba Mentality.”

Bryant said McGrady, who averaged 19.6 points per game during his illustrious career, might have been his hardest matchup during his playing days.
Before injuries took a toll on his body, McGrady was a walking bucket.
He was a two-time scoring champion and seven-time All-Star.
