Kobe

Never liked the LA Lakers much growing up but Kobe Bryant was always a player that transcended the sport of basketball. He was fun to watch, hard-working, a leader, and someone who never seemed to crumble under pressure.

Yes, he was a great athlete but off the court, he cherished time with his family, always seemed to support and help others in need, and positively affected countless people. That to me is the saddest part of this whole tragic accident he was an all-around good person and bigger than the game.

RIP Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gigi, and all the others involved in the tragic accident in LA yesterday.
