[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, it is a tragedy he, and the others on that copter (including 2 children) were killed. It's understandable to recognize his importance to the sport, to pop culture, to his family/friends. I hope they are able to grieve and find some peace. But can we stop with the "hero" labels? He wasn't a hero. And let's be honest, his character is up for debate. I'm not going to engage in a debate of that. But, labeling him as a hero or elevating to some sort of god like status for playing basketball is incredibly distasteful.[/quote]He didn’t just play basketball. He used his platform to help generations of kids and was a champion for female sports [/quote] That doesn't make him a hero. He did a good thing with that. And that's great. He should be recognized for that. Also, that doesn't negate the rest of my post. [/quote]
