Some people resist to their teeth certain norms or consensus to push their hidden agenda for their self-serving purposes, manipulate things for their advantage and are very negative and critical of almost anything. They disregard what fits the common good but regard as good what fits them.
The world knows Kobe’s accomplishments so I won’t list them down anymore. We also know that at 41, he could, and definitely would have, influenced the younger generation of players as a personal trainer or coach. All the possibilities have gone but one thing is for certain, his legacy will last throughout history. May you rest in peace, Black Mamba.
