Just wow. Can’t come close to comparing anything like this in the sports world I’ve known. Thurman Munson? Nah, not nearly as much of a global name. Probably time to start celebrating his life and achievements.
The Kobe I knew during the latter part of his career, after Shaq, was remarkable. The guy was almost like watching MJ in the clutch moments of games. He lived for them, and he made the most of them.
Sadly they are all tragic and heart breaking, but the one that immediately came to my mind was Roberto Clemente and his tragic death on the way to give aid to people in Central America I believe.
