You were the black mamba … the one with superhuman powers, how is this even possible?
And we must not forget the others who died by your side, including your young daughter.
You leave a billion fans with a billion memories crying a billion tears.
I’ll never forget how you showed your love to the obsessed young fans in China. It was the same kindness and compassion you showed to someone who didn’t know shit about basketball.
Me.
Maybe that’s why my favourite work with you was Mentu. Not just for what you did for young, Chinese players, but for making me truly appreciate just what you brought to a game I didn’t then understand.
I still believe the music we used was the perfect soundtrack to present your dramatic, distinctive elegance.
There are players famous to a team.
There are players famous to a game.
There are players famous to a country.
But there’s few who are famous around the world, whether that sport is played there or not.

You are one of the legends.
You will remain forever.
But your loss is a tragedy.
