There will never be another like him. Irreplaceable and unforgettable, the kid from Philly made you believe in something bigger. He made you believe in lofty goals, high expectations, and the belief of a community where what was once a pipe dream became a realistic outcome.
He was a wizard, a superhero, something out of a comic book that you couldn’t quite explain. He was joy incarnate, an individual that turned up your heart rate and forced you to shake your head and smile.
He was a celebrity, a hero, a role model to the kids that bounce around at the CenturyLink Center and clamor for a photo with him.
