I grew up as a Laker fan since the early 2000s after their 3-peat championship rings, 1999-2000, 2000-2001, 2001-2002. I've always admired the Mamba for his greatness on and off the court. It's a shocking demise as we all are saddened by the loss of Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna. He created a legacy which is, will and forever celebrated around the globe.
