I wished they’d let the NBA rest for one day. Only 81 games this season.

If you’re like me, you kept scrolling through social media most of the day in disbelief.

How?

The game is still so young. Only two other NBA MVPs (Wilt and Moses) have passed on before Kobe.

Why?

It’s not fair. Kobe had just begun his second act as a father, a husband, a writer, a producer, an Oscar winner, so much more to come.

This can’t be real.
