La noticia de la muerte de la super estrella del baloncesto KOBE BRYANT ha trascendido mucho más allá del entorno deportivo. El mundo del rock también está reaccionando ante esta triste noticia que hemos conocido hoy.
La estrella de la NBA, KOBE BRYANT, falleció el pasado domingo (28 de enero) por la mañana debido a un accidente de helicóptero en Calabasas, California (EEUU). Según el Departamento del Sheriff del condado de Los Ángeles, no hay supervivientes del accidente y las cinco personas que viajaban a bordo fallecieron. La investigación pertinente está en curso en estos momentos.
Este triste final para el jugador de baloncesto se produjo un día después de que fuera superado por el alero de Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron James, en el tercer lugar en la lista de puntuación de todos los tiempos de la NBA. Según ESPN, James escribió en sus zapatillas "Mamba 4 Life" y "8/24 KB" en oro antes del partido, mostrando respeto por Bryant, un All-Star 18 veces con los Lakers, candidato para el Basketball Hall de la fama 2020.
Como era de esperar, muchos seguidores del baloncesto y admiradores de la industria del entretenimiento, incluyendo de la música, están en "shock" por la muerte de Bryant.
Esta es una pequeña muestra de las primeras reacciones tras la muerte de Bryant dentro de la comunidad del rock y del metal:

RIP TO AN ACTUAL LEGEND.
Far beyond his physical and professional prowess, Kobe Bryant was one of the most inspiring people to ever do it due to his mind and his personal practices; bettering yourself to compete in one of the toughest games there is...life.#RIPKOBE

Extremely difficult to process the passing of Kobe. He was not only a celebrated athlete but someone who was ubiquitous in pop culture for the last 20+yrs. For many of us it’s unfathomable to think such a central figure of our childhood has passed. RIP. Love to his family&friends

Kobe Bryant was a huge part of our collective childhoods. Watching Vince Carter, Antonio Davis and Morris Peterson go up against the LA Lakers was a sight to behold in Toronto. $15 dollars for tickets in the 300’s at the ACC.
Praying for the Bryant family. RIP to a true legend.

...HE was ‘different’. Our discussion not long back was about ‘daughters’ AND transitions. He sought to make a DIFFERENCE. He just got started & he created many paths.. Ive said many times as a young-HE was the most manner able ‘athlete’ I ever met. He was DIFFERENT #RIPKOBE248 pic.twitter.com/hdrxcWWVsj
