Some might view 41 years of age as "old", but in my experience that's when "real life" begins.

That’s kinda how I am.  I quit watching the NBA not long after Jordan retired.  It was hard not to watch when you live in Chicago at the time.  The only thing I knew about Kobe was the accusations that were made against him.  We all know how those go.  But I had a bad taste in my mouth about him.  Not being in the loop, I didn’t know, until now, how involved he was with his kids life as well as other all the other things he did.  Not to mention the work ethic.  So at 41... That sucks.  But more it’s a damn shame his daughter and another kid on board.  41 is early.  But 13 or whatever they were is way too young.  I feel bad for all the families.  I’m sure some feel like Kobe’s death is overshadowing their family’s loss.
