Sports fans around the world are struggling to reconcile with the sudden loss of American basketball icon Kobe Bryant.The 41-year-old died on January 26,2020,when his private helicopter crashed into a hillside in Calabasas,California - about 30 miles away from Los Angeles.The crash also killed eight other passengers including his 13-year-old daughter Gianna.The extremely heavy fog condition is believed to have been a major factor.
Bryant,who spent his entire 20-year-basketball career as a shooting guard for the Los Angeles Lakers,was born in Philadelphia.The basketball star,who decided to turn professional after graduating from high school,was selected by the Charlotte Hornets with the 13th overall pick,and then traded to the Lakers.At just 18 years old,he was the youngest player to be drafted in NBA history.The trade proved to be lucky for the Lakers.By his third year,Bryant had moved from being a reserve to the starting lineup.He had also firmly established himself as a star.In 2000,Bryant led the Lakers to their first NBA championship since 1988.The dream team continued to dominate the league for the next two years.
In addition to helping the Lakers win two additional NBA titles in 2009 and 2010,Bryant was also a member of the basketball team responsible for bringing home the Olympic Gold medals in 2008 and 2012.By the time he retired in 2016,the 18-time NBA All-Star had played a total of 1,560 games and scored an astounding 33,043 points - a record surpassed by only three players Kareem Abdul-Jabar(38,387),Karl Malone (36,928),and James (33,655)- in the NBA's 73-year history.
Though there are many ways to honor Bryant,the best way to pay tribute to one of the greatest sports heroes of all time may be to follow his philosophy on life: "Life is too short to be discouraged.You have to keep moving.Put one foot in front of the other,smile,and just keep on rolling." - Kobe Bryant,2008.

2.I remember my math teacher Mr.Young very well.He stood out because the kids made fun of him.He was missing one of his fingers,and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
I was not very good at English and math.No matter how hard I tried,I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
One day,I was told that if I got one more E on my report card,I would be taken to the "big prison for kids".
I tried really hard for weeks.I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
The day before report cards were to come out,I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E,just like he always did.
I went to Mr.Young and told him that the orphanage (孤兒院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card.He told me there was nothing he could do;it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
I smiled at him and said, "Mr.Young,do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger?" He looked at me,moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
"They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help not having a finger,Mr.Young.Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.
The next day,when I got my report card,I tucked it into one of my books.While on the school bus,I opened it:Geography,B+;Mechanical Drawing,C-;English,D-;History,C-;Gym,B+;Art,C;Math,D-.
That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.
