Rest in Peace Kobe Bryant

In honor of the death of Kobe Bryant. Think of that. I can't believe I'm typing those words. The timeless battles with Boston, one of the great dynasties of all time, the manner with which he loved being a point of ridicule and rejoice. Kobe Bryant was basketball: debate, greatness, artistry. Few players embody the power and control, the imagery, with which Kobe played the game. It inspired a generation and he'll become mythical to the next, after a helicopter crash stole his, his daughter's and seven other peoples' lives.
