Timberwolves Mourn The Loss Of Kobe Bryant

The news still doesn’t seem real.

On Sunday, the world learned that it had lost Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, along with seven others, in a tragic helicopter accident in Calabasas.

While we are losing an NBA legend, we are also losing eight others, including a teenager who seemed to have the brightest future ahead of her. That might be what’s drowning our hearts the most right now.

You don’t need to be a basketball fan to know who Bryant was or why he was so important. He was one of those icons who was bigger than the game itself.
