The National Basketball
Association of United States was thrown into mourning as the news broke of the
unexpected demise of their legend Kobe Bryant who played at the professional level
for 20 years. Kobe Bryant was killed alongside
his daughter Gianna in a tragic helicopter crash in the early hours of Sunday
the 26th of January. Kobe played for the Los Angeles Lakers team
winning five championships with the same team. He was a mentor to many stars
including the living legend, Lebron James who called Kobe his senior brother.
Kobe and his daughter were reportedly heading for a basketball game which was

there. Kobe was also a family man with 4 daughters and the youngest at less
than a year old. May his soul rest in peace, Amen.
