This is beautiful and great. This line especially resonated with me: "On that note, perhaps most importantly, I love you because you made me love basketball. You introduced me to a world that has brought me so much joy, so much pain, so much feeling. You introduced me to some of the friends I love and treasure so dearly."

This is so powerful and Kylie's letter is heartfelt. :) Wonderful post.

I shed a tear, not out of pity, but out of awe at the amount of love and sincerity pouring out of the page

Powerful. I'm a diehard Rockets fan and am still traumatized by the events of the 2018 WCF - the CP hamstring, blowing double digit halftime leads in games 6 and 7, and of course the 27 missed threes. Spent years defending and blowing up Harden, refusing to concede any of his peers, except maybe LeBron, as superior (but come on, if James was 6'8, 260, on a pound for pound basis, he's the GOAT). Great post. Will always respect the purity and passion of Kylie's, er, fandom - and true love needs no explanation!

“Not to sound like LeBron insinuating that he predicted 9/11, but I always knew you would be great.” Perfect.

This was so good that I think I just missed my number being called at the DMV.
