      Amen. If you want to cry, watch the TNT special, which is also important. Both things-- laughing at treasured memories, weeping for an immense loss-- are part of grieving. The crazy thing is that this was supposed to be Magic. This exact situation-- this precise tragedy, taken too soon. HIV was a death sentence. He was retiring to go die-- or so we thought. It's to the point that I wonder if Magic surviving made this all the more unimaginable. These guys simply live forever. Well-- no, they're people like the rest of us.

    When I was young I was a huge fan of Karim Abdul-Jabbar. So you can imagine how long it has been that I have been a Lakers fan. I knew Magic Johnson during his prime. The day the news came to me about Kobe I was in a daze. I am not like an ultimate fan of Kobe don't get me wrong but the icon of Kobe for Lakers is different. I cannot imagine how his wife and kids feel. His daughter was so young. He was so young. I might not be significant to anyone but please have my heart felt condolences.
