Justin Timberlake Recalls His Final Conversation With Kobe Bryant

According to the Grammy winner, the two met when they were teenagers and bonded over their"drive and process."

"I was in awe of what you could do with a basketball and knew your talent went beyond your physical gifts and stretched to your mentality," Timberlake wrote on the social network."A mentality that I would take with me throughout my whole career and still use every day. As the years went by, I watched you do things that seemed humanly unimaginable.

"We both appreciated a good 'ribbing,' Timberlake added."We joked about 'The Vino Club.' You nicknamed yourself 'Vino' to represent how one could age gracefully as a fine wine does.""Your confidence in me was huge—it really affected me because I admired you so much," Timberlake wrote."I don't mean as one of the greatest athletes ever. I mean as a person. People sometimes can confuse a will to win with a lack of compassion.

"The last conversation that we shared was about being fathers and what that meant," he wrote."That was, beyond all the things that we could do in this world, our true legacy. Who our children are and what beautiful people they will become. And, I guess right now, without being able to find all the words, THAT father connection is what is most devastating for me."and to the rest of the family.

In addition, Timberlake shared a series of old photos of himself with Bryant. One showed the singer cheering Bryant on at a game. Another showed them at the ESPY Awards.
