So many athletes are fiercely dedicated to their sport and when their body betrays them, they just don't know what to do. They retire and wander life aimlessly.
Kobe, OTOH, had grabbed post-retirement life by the horns. He was loving it and had matured so much as a man and as an ambassador for the Lakers/NBA. He had plans on plans on plans.
He seemed to realize after leaving the game that he'd spent his life preparing for his time AFTER it. And embraced it.
This just ****ing sucks.
