  1. BASKETBALL QUARTET – BASKETBALL LEGENDS

    They were the ‘…Basketball Quartet’ of their time.

    Then upon retirement, they became the ‘…Legends of the Sport.’

    They were;

    (i) …The Michael Jordan’s;

    (ii) …The Scottie Pippen’s;

    (iii) …The Kobi Bryant’s; and’

    (iv) …Dennis Rodman’s.’

    In their heyday, and with ‘…camaraderie and specially endowed skills; …strategic plays and teamwork,’ they have not only entertained, but also thrilled ‘…millions of Basketball fans and lovers’ around the globe.

    Then, as fate often has it, in the prime of life ‘…Kobi Bryant 41,’ has been called away;

    (i) ‘…From them;

    (ii) …From his family;

    (iii) …From us; and

    (iv) … From the world’ to ‘Glory.’

    Not sure where the hell that is, but do hope he gets there.

    May he walk with the Lord, and may the ‘Angels’ smile upon him as he is laid to rest.

    Moreover, may he find eternal peace.

    They have left many ‘…fond memories of the games they won.

    Even the ‘…agony of defeats and the nail-biting finishes,’ the many fans have experienced and endured, shall be remembered.

  2. It may not be well known, but he was a believer, a strong church and family man of high moral principle, a committed Catholic. He will be missed.
