Sunday January 26, 2020 was going to be a day filled with news across the sports world. The 2020 NFL Pro Bowl was kicking off in Orlando as Super Bowl week was fast approaching. The Farmers Insurance Open was wrapping up in San Diego. But one thing that sports fans were not expecting Sunday morning, was the devastating news that brought everything to a standstill: the death of NBA Legend Kobe Bryant.
Bryant was among the nine people killed in a helicopter crash Sunday morning in Calabasas, California, just roughly 30 miles northwest of where he brought joy to fans for 20 years at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
