the things I've seen come out about Kobe after his passing, how selfless the "selfish" guy could be, how gracious he could be. it would take a tragedy like this for it to be acknowledged.

this isn't the case for his hero, Cheese Eyes. at least as far as we know. Kobe showed up and showed out, and didn't want the credit or PR.

it's part of the reason I actually became a fan of Kobe over the years.
