Yeah I know it’s retarded to weep over the death of someone who was better at everything and at life than me. But fuck. I feel like part of my childhood died after hearing the news. I wasn’t into basketball until late middle school but I remember seeing how great at the game Kobe was. Seeing him win back to back titles. The one against Boston. I wish I got to witness his 81 point game life. Was too young to really appreciate what he and Shaq did in the early 2000s.
Fuck...
It’s even more heartbreaking that his 13 year old daughter died with him.
I try not to look up to anyone. I have no idols. As Charles Barkley once said, “I am not a role model”. I know Kobe wasn’t a total saint. I don’t know if the rape allegations from years back are true or not. And it is kinda silly to idolize a millionaire athlete when there are so many on this Earth that are suffering. But I can’t help but feel sad after his passing. Felt the same when Mac Miller died. When Chester Bennington and Chris Cornell passed. When David Bowie succumbed of cancer. All people I felt connected with because I watched them or listened to them.
I’m not even a Laker fan. Been a Bulls fan my whole life. Never got to witness the greatness of Michael Jordan. Maybe that’s why Kobe’s death resonates with me so much.
