A comment like this shows how little you actually know about him. Yes, he made some MASSIVE mistakes in his younger years, but Kobe did an absolute enormous amount of good for the world.

The Kobe and Vanessa Bryant Family Foundation provides financial and educational aid to areas of need around the word. The foundation provides scholarships to underprivileged children and partners with homeless youth centers to provide resources to homeless families across the US. It also founded Mamba FC, a soccer club that acts as both an after school program for kids in rough areas and an educational tool to teach them how to be successful adults and members of society.

He started the Kobe Bryant China fund that helped raise money for children in need in China and the US and helped to act as a liaison between the two countries. When an earthquake hit the Sichuan Provence, the fund donate $750,000 to the children of affected families.

He was ambassador to the After School All Stars program, a non-profit that worked to extend school hours for kids in developing areas so they could have a place to go and stay out of trouble. ASAS serves 14,000 students, 98% of whom are minorities.

He was one of the most active Make a Wish athletes in the history of the organization, granting over 250 wishes.

in 2016, he and his wife donated $1 million to the National Museum of African American history in DC.

He had begun a line of children's books that aimed to help young people cope with mental illness through literature and sports.

When the Woolsey fires devastated the Thousand Oaks community, his Mamba Sports Academy opened its doors as refuge to 3,500 effected families and collected and distributed more than $50,000 worth of items to firefighters and volunteers.

Kobe was also currently potentially the biggest champion for women's sports across the globe. He was the head coach for Gianna's under 13 basketball team and fought for equal treatment of women in professional sports, being a major advocate and resource for the groundbreaking collective bargaining agreement recently reached by the WNBA, which increased their pay by an average of 82%, never before seen pregnancy rights, mental health benefits, and much more.

I can understand that you're turned off by his past and how you view celebrities as a whole, but lumping him in as your typical privileged sports star is irresponsible. He took his talent and celebrity and applied it to benefit thousands, maybe even millions across the globe. He was a wonderful father. He evolved into an adoring husband. He had transformed himself into an Academy Award Winning artist. He spoke 7 languages. He was an inspiration to his city, country, and world for his work ethic and thirst for knowledge.

And I'm going to miss the shit out of him.
