Barack obama writing, bryant was just beginning a meaningful second act in his career. President trump calling it terrible news. For more on the reaction, lets bring in ramona shelburne. You were telling me that kobe bryant pursued excellence in everything he did, not just basketball. He would just cold call tim cook at apple, okay . He would pick up the phone and dial up some director who hed seen their movie, and thought it was great. And he would just call them up and be like, hi, this is kobe. How did you make that movie . And what was crazy is i think he thought he could do it himself one day. One of my alltime kobe stories, he was trying to do something romantic for his wife. He wanted to make a grand gesture. Something that she would know meant everything to him, right . He decides hes going to teach himself how to play piano and hes going to play moonlight sonata for her. He didnt just hire a teacher or get lessons. He just listened to that over and over and taught himself to play it by ear so he could play it for her. Because it meant that much to him. That would show how much it meant. I mean, who does that . Like, kobe bryant does that, right . And i think thats what ill always remember about him, is that he would look at storytelling, any world he wanted to conquer, and initially knew, okay, who are the people i need to meet with to figure out how to conquer that world . He would call them, learn from them, and go try and do it. And he kind of did, guys. He won an Academy Award his first time out, his first year after retiring. I dont know if youve seen it, but there has been a video circulating showing kobe and his daughter enjoying a game of basketball. He shared this game with his daughter. She unfortunately passed away as well. Talk to me about kobe bryant the father. Kobe and i are about the same age. Im a year younger than him. I just gave birth to a son about 15 months ago. He would text me all the time while i was pregnant, checking in on me. When the baby was born, he would ask how he was, send me pictures of him and his kids. He was so focused on being a good dad and helping me be a good mom. Thats everything he cared about in life right now. Sometimes i would say, did you see what happened, kevin durant tore his achilles, what happened with the lakers . I ld s, no, misi was at a basketball game or choir practice. His whole life was about his kids. And he really was teaching gigi the game, was so proud of her. He said, shes going to be in the league someday. I think she was already verbally committed to uconn. He had it all figured out, they were Kindred Spirits in the way they approached and played the game. Ive gotten calls from friends in this area, because i live right here. Their daughters play with gigi on teams, and she was great as a basketball player. Its unfathomable that theyre gone. Ramona, thank you for joining us.

Next tonight, the impeachment showdown, as President Trumps legal team will ramp up the defense on the senate floor tomorrow. Lets get right to david wright, at the white house tonight. Reporter one major line of defense from President Trumps lawyers is the claim that the two articles of impeachment approved by the house are constitutionally invalid. The conduct has to be criminal in nature. It cant be abuse of power. It cant be obstruction of congress. Reporter former harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz insists that should be game over. If my argument succeeds, theres no need for witnesses. Indeed, theres no need for even arguments, any further arguments. Reporter but dershowitz argued the opposite during bill clintons impeachment.

Youre too good a lawyer not to have studied that back in 1998. Ive been immersing myself in dusty old books and ive concluded that, no, it has to be a crime.

Reporter today President Trump called out the houses lead impeachment manager, congressman adam schiff, calling him, quote, a corrupt politician, and probably a very sick man. He has not paid the price, yet, for what he has done to our country. This is a wrathful and vindictive president. I dont think theres any doubt about it. Do you take that as a threat . I think its intended to be. David, tomorrow, the president s lawyers continue their defense. But the democrats dont appear to have the votes to force the issue on witnesses. Reporter thats right, they need four votes in order to do that. So far, only mitt romney has made it clear hes leaning in that direction.
