The last time I felt this bad was when Michael Jackson died. I think you can just sense the world is in pain. It's not the same as a "common stranger" because somehow we all relate or looked up to Kobe. Like somehow he was a superhero that's supposed to be immortal. He seemed to still have a lot to offer the world. This legend was supposed to grow old with us. He basically was born to play and Excel at basketball, then die shortly after.
I thought if I'd feel this way if any other NBA player died. It's hard to even imagine. It has to be some active Superstar suffering a tragic death. The weird part is, when someone dies, we immediately remember all of the good. When they're alive, you see some of the bad.
The Mamba mentality is a real thing, and I think the world can be a better place if they learned a couple things about how he lived his life. Be great at what you're good at, don't half ass it, it's a waste of time. I know I tell my family and friends I love them now, before it's too late, I don't wait for tomorrow that which can be done today.
I mean really, can we think of an NFL player we'd feel this way about if it happened to them? We don't even know these people. Brady? Brees? Tiger? Federer?
Music and sports are uniters; politics aside, generally all people relate, understand, or appreciate someone together regardless of their differences. Barkley was wrong, they are role models.
