In one of the most tragic losses in the history of sports, basketball legend and fiery NBA superstar, Kobe Bryant died in a helicopter crash near Los Angeles on Sunday, along with eight others including her 13 years old daughter Gianna. Kobe Bryant craved competition and was known for his enthusiasm, creating a pop philosophy he called “The Mamba Mentality”. “I always aimed to kill the opposition,” he once wrote. The Mamba grew into an iconic persona all its own. Now, the world can’t fathom that it’s gone.
