First and foremost, rest in peace to Kobe Bryant, Gianna Bryant, and everybody else who tragically passed away on January 26 in a helicopter accident in southern California. I think I speak for many when I say that it was a pleasure and an inspiration to watch somebody dominate with such a passion at the highest level of the world. It seemed like Kobe was going to stay involved with the game of basketball and the NBA for another forty years, and it is devastating that he is gone so soon. The memories of growing up and watching Kobe cement himself as a legend in the NBA will never go away.
