repost via @jackhughes52: we thank Kobe for all the amazing memories he provided to Jack and Willie through the years. we know that Kobe, Willie, and Gigi have become the best of friends already. rest in peace to my idol on and off the floor. growing up Willie and I modeled everything after you whether we were playing real basketball, NBA 2K12, or practicing our backdown mid range fade aways on the hoop on the wall in our room. we wrote stories about you and painted pictures about you and even had to fight over who got to be you on halloween. you gave us some of our favorite childhood memories especially in the Sunday Whites at the Staples center. I still remember watching you drop 40 on Christmas Day on igoudalas head from the nosebleeds like it was nothing. the 2010 championship lit up the city of LA like no other championship in any other town. celebrities come and go in Hollywood but you will never be forgotten. you put the city and the franchise on your back and gave us some of the most historic moments ever. your work ethic is the reason I work so hard in everything I do. never take anything for granted and don’t let anyone tell you you can’t do something. words can’t describe how I feel right now and how much I will miss you and how much you will be missed by all. I know you willie and Gigi are already great friends. heroes never die but legends are never forgotten🐍🐍 #mambaout by @williestrongfoundation

I’m excited to share that I’ll be running the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon on November 1 in support of Ronald McDonald House New York!🗽🏃‍♂️
RMH NY’s mission is one that hits especially close to home for me and everything we stand for through Willie Strong. They provide a home away from home for families with children battling cancer and other serious illnesses, keeping families together and close to the care their children need.
Going through Willie’s battle with brain cancer showed me firsthand that when a child is sick, the entire family goes through that fight with them. The community and support that surrounds a family during those moments can make an incredible difference. That is something I will always carry with me and a huge reason why I’m proud to run for RMH NY.
I’ve set a goal of raising $5,000 to support the children and families served by Ronald McDonald House New York. Every donation helps RMH NY continue providing housing, meals, transportation, programs, and a community for families during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.
Please consider donating to my run if you can. Any donation, no matter the size, helps and would mean a lot to me.

26.2 miles for an incredible cause and in honor of Willie. ❤️ https://secure-give.rmh-newyork.org/fundraiser/7485528

He left us on June 13, 2018. Join us on July 18, 2026.

Eight years ago, Willie Hughes passed away from aggressive brain cancer. Since that time, your continued support of the Foundation has meant so much to us, but more importantly, it has given HOPE to the many families battling pediatric brain cancer.
Your continued generosity will further the Foundation’s purpose of finding treatment for this devastating disease through research, clinical trials and new therapies.
We are forever grateful, The Hughes Family
