I’m not feelin’ the Kobe love. I haven’t watched the NBA for years, but I just don’t see why people are that blown away by Kobe’s death. It’s not like he was struck down by a horrible illness in the prime of his career like Lou Gehrig or killed while flying relief supplies to an earthquake-stricken country like Clemente. Kobe’s death was a tragic accident. I was shocked to hear it, but it’s not like it was comparable to JFK’s assassination.
Certainly not in Boston.
