Kobe “Bean” Bryant and His Passing

As most people know Sunday January 26th, 2020 there was horrible helicopter crash in South California’s hillside. In this helicopter were 9 people, but specifically were Kobe and Gianna Bryant who had died. In Kobe’s lifetime he was one of the greatest players of all time. Some of his accolades include being a 5 time champion, MVP in 2008, 2 time finals MVP, and 18 time all star. This is death though is more than just about what happened to Kobe on the court but more about how he inspired a whole new generation of players. And because of this it is what hurts these players the most. Many players are devastated like Paul George

( plays for the Los Angeles Clippers),“ He was my Michael Jordan, he was what every kid wanted to be here in LA” this is one of the many quotes of players who are devestad due to the recent passing. One last thing though is what he did for the community. Kobe was raising a future WNBA All-Star player on Gianna Bryant. Kobe was also known for helping the community, this makes it so that this death will be one of the hardest ones that this world will ever exist.

SuperBowl LIV

It’s SuperBowl time BABY!!!!!!! It’s the 54th SuperBowl in NFL history the components are San Francisco 49ers versus Kansas City Chiefs. This is probably the best matchup we could have gotten for skill, but the worst possible one in terms of a possible storyline. There is no possible storyline for this game, the only thing that could happen is the 49ers would have 6 superbowl. For the 49ers they are an amazing all around team. They have one of the best defenses in 49ers history and in the league in fact. While their offense is very run heavy with guys like Matt Bredia, while they have a pro bowl caliber quarterback in Jimmy Garoppolo. But most importantly is George Kittle who is a star tight end and the leader of this offense while Joey Bosa destories offensive linemen on the other side of the ball at defensive end. Their coach is offensive mastermind Kyle Shanahan. So overall this is team is great all around. While the Kansas City Chiefs are primarily an offense based team. With arguably the best quarterback in the league in Patrick Mahomes. And weapons all around the field in Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce. While their offense is amazing their defense isn’t amazing. It is still a good unit don’t get me wrong but they aren't anywhere the 49ers. The main factor in this is game is the coaching battle that will happen between Andy Reid and Kyle Shannahan two of the best coaches in the league. Another key factor is whether or not Travis Kelce plays or not currently he is dealing with knee injuries but I do believe he will play even if he isn’t completely 100%. So with that being said I have the Kansas City Chiefs winning mainly because of that offense and I want Andy Reid to finally get a ring.
