Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist and Lakers fan said late NBA star embodied “what it is to be enlightened”
Flea said that what made Bryant so fascinating was that, when he played basketball, “he was often in a place beyond thought, in the zone, lost in the moment, completely in the present, and fully in his spirit.” Those watching him in such moments, Flea said, “saw what it is to be enlightened. Like what a monk who sits in a Himalayan cave all his life seeks.” Of course, as Flea noted, Bryant did this not in isolation, but night after night, in packed arenas, on television, in front of everyone.
“Whether you liked him or not, we all yearn to be completely in the moment,” Flea wrote. “It is a natural human thing, and our only possibility of true happiness, whether or not it is a conscious thought. We saw it, and we felt it. And it crossed through every human barrier. I loved him.”
