I know this is a website for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but every now and then, there is a story that transcends our world of Pewter & Red.
Unfortunately, we were given one of those stories on Sunday. Kobe Bryant, one of the greatest players in NBA history, and eight others were killed in a helicopter crash. His 13-year-old daughter, Gianna Bryant, was among those killed in the crash.
I remember watching Kobe growing up. I spent 20 years of my life in simultaneous awe and frustration as the Black Mamba did his thing game in and game out.
