2020 is the worst year I've ever experienced and it's only the beginning of May, I so hurt that I had to find out this way that Kobe Bryant meant so much more to me than I imagined...You see Kobe was a few months younger than me so I seen his rise to Iconic status as I grew older side by side with him from getting drafted by rival team (I'm a Do or Die Celtics Fan) to seeing glimpse of his raw talents coming of the bench, the air balls to dueling with Mike early on, Winning a chip at 20 yrs old all the way to winning 5, his 81 point assault on Toronto till him willing himself to his 60 point finally...Kobe had a soft spot in my heart all these years without me even realizing I always hated the Lakers and always will but Kobe was a foe that made you tip your hat whether you loved him or hated him...He was that GREAT! This one hurt bad for many reasons and just didn't sit well with me still doesn't it made me question life period! This came straight from the heart I had to pay my respects to one of the most amazing human beings to ever walk the earth and the lovely people to fall victim to Human error! My deepest condolences to the friends and family of this unimaginable tragedy, Rest well...it's Kobe Forever!!!
