Kobe was a beloved figure. As a Lakers fan i still cant believe it.

When Kobe died it was just so unexpected, when Marines die, its horrible, but the shock value isnt as high. I dont think it has to be an either or, Kobes death was tragic as were the others in that chopper that went down. Kobe got the media coverage, and maybe that was a bit much, but we should be able to multi task a little bit and mourn our military people and sports figures. Watch when we lose Bob Gibson, in this region that will take center stage over other equally sad news. Its just the way it is, and will probably always be.
