Kobe Bryant died on January 26th, 2020 in an helicopter crash. Kobe was a pivotal player on the Los Angeles Lakers for 20 seasons. As a die hard Boston Celtics fan I can say that I never cheered for Kobe but I can admit to the talent in which he held and added to his team. When I heard of the news that Kobe had died in a helicopter crash I knew instantly his death was going to touch the lives on many Americans, specifically those who looked up to him as a role model. I can’t even imagine how devastated so many young boys and girls are today just one day after the accident. To add to the pain I can’t begin to talk about the fact that Kobe’s daughter Gianna was also killed in the crash. The death of a young girl who hasn’t got the chance to go to college, play in the WNBA (her true dream), or even just be able to learn to drive a car is just saddening to anyone.
Mighty Manatee.
