"I grew up a Laker fan, my dad liked the Lakers and we used to watch it on the big screen" Diggs said when he joined "First Things First" on FOX Sports on Tuesday morning. "He never let you down. Kobe was like a killer. When there was an opportunity there, he was going in. When there was blood in the water he was going in and you knew every time he was going to hit the shot."


Diggs tragically lost his father when a teenager and helped his mother raise his younger brothers Trevon and Darez who both play college football at the University of Alabama and the University of Alabama Birmingham respectively.


Bryant was famously known for waking up early in the morning to work on his craft to gain an edge on his competition. The shooting guard amassed 33,643 total points good for 4th on the all-time scoring list and won 5 NBA championships during his two decades playing for Los Angeles.
