99% of the world has never heard of this guy. How did he “transcend” sports?
And Kobe didn’t transcend sports IMO. Few athletes achieve that. Maybe Ali, Tyson, Usain Bolt, Cristian Ronaldo.
Kobe was a basketball player, big player, famous, nice guy, but outside of basketball (which is outside of the USA) not many people really cared. They were more sad at the tragedy of the event, has he been a 70yr old nobody would care.
Ali was a hero and truly transcended sports. Tyson was the “baddest man in the planet”, that’s a different sort of aura. Bolt has basically become synonymous with speed, which is bigger than basketball since everyone can relate to speed. And Cristiano has inspired millions all over the world, from the Europe to South America to Asia to Africa. Although he has t “transcended” his sport as much as the other guys.
Kobe was a great ball player. I guess the second best of his generation.

Warne transcends Cricket in Europe, South Africa, other Cricket playing countries in Africa, Zimbabwe, Caribbean, Subcontinent, but very few in the US would know him other than because of Liz Hurley-only expats really. That is purely due to Cricket never really taking off to the masses in the US-I doubt many Americans have even heard of Don Bradman or Garfield Sobers. Just like most people outside of the US who aren't fans of American Football would be able to name anybody-maybe Dan Marino, William Perry as he had some mainstream name over here in the mid 1980's when American Football on television took off & Dick Buttkiss for his acting.Wait, you’re serious?

He died of heart attack before his mother and father passed.
"He is survived by his children Jackson, Brooke and Summer, mother and father Bridgette and Keith, and brother Jason."

I don't think he's well known in the US, yet 52 is WAY too young (I'm 50) so my heart goes to him and his family.

I would love to see other sports playing five consecutive days, for a third or so of the day-none of them would do it.
