We lost a basketball legend at the beginning of this year, he wasn't just a basketball legend, he was a sporting icon. He was a role model to everyone. A man who was well-known and respected by everyone. By basketball fans, sports fans and the biggest athletes in global sport. He was a football fan and footballers were fans of him. His disappearance is tragic news for the sporting world in general. _ To the generation who grew up shouting 'KOBE' anytime they threw something. _ Don't stop doing it, don't let the tradition die. RIP KinG Kobe 👑
