The world lost a star today. There are few words to say, as the world grieves.
While there are always losses, some much more personal than others, when we lose someone who brought greatness to a sport, the arts and other highly visible media, sometimes the impact is a true gut punch. Perhaps we wonder why we didn't take more time to appreciate them. Or we remember them in some deeply personal way. Those who had Lakers season tickets during those years when Kobe graced the court with his strength and skill will no doubt feel it deeply. And who knows what his family is experiencing now. May they find peace.
Kobe, you lit up the court. You inspired a generation of kids to get out, be active, do drills, layups, spins and dunks. I dedicate this #BeautifulSunday post to your memory.
