Kobe Bryant, Legend

Another case of gone too soon.

Yesterday, the world lost another legend in the person of Kobe Bryant.  An American professional basketball player, Bryant played his entire 20-year career in the National Basketball Association with the Los Angeles Lakers and won five NBA championships.
