Kobe Bryant Rest In Peace on 18:22 - Jan 27 with 1040 views | jack247 | I suppose you’re right about basketball in general. I bet Kobe Bryant was one of the basketball players you could reel off though. He was one of those figures like Tiger Woods who transcend their sport. I’m sure there wouldn’t have been much fuss globally if a run of the mill NBA player died. [Post edited 27 Jan 2020 18:23]

Kobe Bryant Rest In Peace on 19:20 - Jan 27 with 971 views | sherpajacob | To categorize Basketball as an American only sport is simply wrong. The NBA has huge global popularity and features players from many countries including many Europeans. It's the UK that is the exception in giving it practically zero coverage. Bryant was one of the few that transcended the sport, along with the likes of Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson. How many people in the UK know who Steph Curry is, yet globally he's probably up there with Messi and Ronaldo. | |

A celebrity is the same as the next person when thier time is up in my book. Condolences to everybody who has lost a loved one recently. | |
