The team calls them the team captain, but they’re not a good captain. They’re not a good person. You not even a good athlete at this point. You’re just here, and you’re bringing down the young guys who are supposed to be good.

The Marlins star informed that he had meet him before at the Mamba Academy in Los Angeles. Chisholm Jr. had a few questions to ask his No.1 idol but Bryant had to leave. Despite this, the MLB star was excited to get another chance to speak to him.
Hоwеvеr, hіs drеams wеrе dеstrоуеd bу thе hеlіcорtеr tragеdу, whіch kіllеd Brуant and dеvastatеd Chіshоlm. Shattered by the news, Chisholm Jr. would call up the then Marlins CEO, Derek Jeter and opened up to him. The former New York Yankees captain would provide the comfort he needed and started to treat him like a son.
I call [then-Marlins CEO] Derek Jeter on the phone, crying. I call Derek Jeter, and I'm like ‘bro, I was just supposed to meet Kobe. And he just died. That's my idol, you gotta step up... That's exactly what I told him, cause he told me that I'm supposed to be his shortstop of the future. I called him after my idol died, and I said ‘you gotta step up to be my idol.’ And from that day on, he literally treated me like his son.
