Good day ballers! Welcome back again to my blogsketball! And for this blog I am going to share to all of you the article that I’ve read, but before that please don’t forget to like this blog and follow my profile so you’ll get notified!
The article that I am about to share was written by Bill Plaschke, entitled “How can Kobe Bryant be gone? His legend wasn’t supposed to end this way” in January 26, 2020. You can read this on his website http://www.latimes.com.
The article is all about the death of Kobe “Black Mamba” Bryant, and his daughter, Gianna Bryant who was only 13-year-old. They both died in a helicopter crash with another 7 people. This is a very tragic ending for our iconic idol and also for his very young daughter. Kobe Bryant is a very famous and legendary player in NBA, he almost made 5 championship game, and has a 5 championship rings and 5 MVP titles. He is a great player. No questions about that. He has a four wonderful and beautiful daughters, and also, a beautiful wife. His three daughters and a wife was only remain in his family, they left early. Bill Plaschke was a close friend of Kobe and they always bond together, sharing stories and even telling secrets. They bond was so strong, until the tragedy happened. Bill Plaschke can’t believe that this could happened, especially in that person. So he wrote an article and states what he really wanted to say.
The main highlight of this article is the feelings and emotions of the writer, the things that he really wanted to yell to all of us how great was Kobe. In his article he said, “I’m screaming right now, cursing into the sky, crying into my keyboard, and I don’t care who knows it.” he was so devastated at that moment, unbelievable and undeniable moment. Kobe was great, he is really great, from his skills through his power of mind.
Kobe Bryant is a basketball player, as well as me, I am also a basketball player, but not as great as him. Bill Plaschke is a blogger and a news writer, as well as me, I am a blog writer, but not as good as Bill, but now, we have the same heartbeat, and that heartbeat makes us one. We both believe in greatness of Kobe, and his personality. This article is about basketball, and it is related to my blog which is blogsketball. It not just tell us how great Kobe was, it depicts us how we believe in his greatness.
One of the hidden problem of the world is lack of confidence, and that is very important to a person to have a self-confidence for him or her to succeed. So Bill Plaschke made this blog not just only to mourn or to cry or to lose hope, he did this blog to empower and make everyone believe that anything and everything is possible with your own power and strength. He shared a lot of words of wisdom of Kobe, like, “Greatness wasn’t worth anything if you couldn’t share it.” it tells us that do not become selfish on what you have, even if it’s a knowledge because it can help a lot of people who are in needs.
I always play basketball, and I love this sport. It’s almost my life because my whole life is running with it. Every basketball players knows Kobe, no one doesn’t. U relate this article to my life because I also love Kobe, I believe in his greatness, I believe in his talent, and I want to make him proud even if he is in afterlife. I idolize him with his signature shots, I even shouted ‘Kobe’ whenever I shot a crumpled paper in the trash can, or even in the basketball court whenever I do his signature shots and moves. I like his mindset, believing in yourself, showing to people how great you are in your own way. I love Kobe.
This article really helped me a lot to understand my passion, to understand my blog, and to understand what I really wanted to be. Basketball is not just a sport in evert basketball player, it is a passion, it is a life, it is a hobby that will never lasts.
Bill Plaschke’s article “How can Kobe be gone? His legend wasn’t supposed to end this way.” is a really great article. I really recommend this article to all of you, to all who loves Kobe, to all who loves basketball, and to all who lives with it. This article was a really touchy and appreciatable to all basketball players and I promised to all of you that you will not regret it.
Thank you so much Black Mamba, for all the things that you’ve shared, to all the lessons that you’ve told us. Your greatness won’t fade, never. Get rest, guide us, pray for us. May you and Gianna rest in peace. We love you.
