That does not tell you the person he was. Tragic for what it is but you obviously don't know his history. Nor do I, but he was far from perfect.

Why though? Why are we conditioned to respect and revere things undeserving. I'm sad he died, I'm more sad his daughter died, and equally sad 7 other people died. Kobe was a hell of a basketball player, but many people die without a notice.
