We'll miss you, Kobe Today is a very sad day for those who love basketball in particular and sports in general. It is the first day without one of the best NBA players of all time. We miss you already. Kobe and his daughter Gianna Maria left us yesterday after a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California. He was 41 and his daughter Gianna Maria Onore, 13 years old. May both of them rest in peace. Kobe was one of those sportsmen who are born with a gift: talent. But he was also born with gifts not all sports stars have: sacrifice and tenacity Thank you Kobe for being an example to all of us. My condolonces to his family and all sports fans.
