On the 26th of January, 2020, the world came together, mourning the loss of a basketball great, a father, and an inspiration. Kobe Bryant had died in a helicopter accident alongside his daughter Gianna.

Did you know that it takes 23 minutes to regain focus once lost. How long it takes to lose focus? 1 second.

Hey there Zeus, it’s you here. I’m not one who writes these types of things well. I’m sure you know that.
