Opinion | Superhero: Two Years to Kobe Bryant's Death Israel today

Kobe Bryant died two years ago in a tragic and shocking helicopter accident along with seven other people, and what has actually happened since then?

Well, first, lots of symbolism.

If you remember, whenever a clock ordered 24 or 8. But also the NBA All-Star Game that took place a little later and was dedicated to his memory. And the Hall of Fame ceremony was not present. And of course, the Los Angeles Lakers championship that season. And what else happened? Oh, yes - we all went through two years of global epidemic.

And because so much has happened, because of all the symbolism, because the last two years feel like a decade and everything that happened in the world before the corona took over our lives feels like an event from a parallel world, there is - I have at least - a feeling that Kobe's death is something that did not really happen.

Something parallel location.

Something symbolic.

And as such, when I look around and try to figure out what I feel is "left" from Kobe, one central feeling arises in me: that it's a comic book death.

Wait, I'll explain.

I of course do not mean amusing comics with plank jokes.

I mean comics in the sense of a superhero.

You know, these characters who have completely taken over Hollywood but are actually part of universal stories full of anecdotes and life wisdom and social critique.

One of the most famous and excellent sayings we've ever received from the world of comics is that of Harvey Dent, aka Two Face by Batman, who in The Dark Night (the second in Christopher Nolan's trilogy) says that "either you die a hero, or you live long enough To see yourself become a villain. "

And Kobe, what?

He has accomplished so much in his 41 and a half years on Earth that he has managed to go through several stages in his "identity."

But most importantly, he managed to emerge from the abysses of rape he committed, and climb as high as possible on the public love ladder - especially with the things he did after the affair, and especially in the very specific and very non-accidental aspect of female empowerment.

His demonstrable support for professional athletes, especially in the U.S. women's soccer team that has been at the center for years since the trial of comparing their grants to those of men, training his daughter Jiana's children's team - who also perished in the disaster - and even, again, this symbolism, the fact that all four His children are girls.If it was a comic we would say that this character did everything she could to show she wanted and tried to atone for the greatest sin in her past.

And Kobe, he still feels to me like a superhero, some character from another life, that when I look at the symbolism in his horrible death, it's really the feeling that comes to mind: that he knew our time here was all set.

It is impossible to know when it will end.

And how.

Therefore, as someone who has already been the villain, he must do everything to die a hero.

Look around, at the legacy he left behind and what A. Women say and say about him, and you will see that this is just another Kobe victory.

Another task he faced.

Were we wrong?

Fixed!
