Hardly ever do we dive into things not tied to Ohio State here on Buckeyes Wire, but some things transcend scarlet and gray and reach down into life themselves. Some athletes and icons are bigger than us all.
Kobe Bryant is one of those figures.
By now you know the tragic news that we are all faced with this Sunday. Kobe Bryant, his 13-yr. old daughter Gianna, and three others died in a helicopter crash just north of the Los Angeles area Sunday morning in Calabasas, California.
Naturally, for one of the best basketball players to ever play the game, many are expressing disbelief, grief, and paying tribute to the Black Mamba.
Ohio State is no different. Here are some tweets from those considered a part of Buckeye Nation. Rest In Peace Kobe, and we’ll just leave these Tweets here out of respect.
