On January 26th, 2020, the world lost Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gigi, and 7 other people that were dearly loved by those around him. Growing up, Kobe and LeBron were my two favorite athletes. The previous generation had Michael Jordan, but Kobe Bryant was the MJ of our generation. I don't have many people that I consider 'heroes,' but Kobe was definitely one of them. The only time I've ever shed a tear for the death of someone I didn't know personally, was when Kobe died. The memory of Kobe has been on my mind a lot over the last year, and that inspired me to share what his career, life, and legacy meant to me.
