10:38 pm
the view from the top. they are champions of england and europe, nine of 13 played in the world cup final, but breaking the rules means relegation is coming, and life in rugby's second is very different. this is empty the rugby club, one of the sides saracens will face in the championship next season. the changing rooms are over there, the pitch is this way. so players have to walk through this would to reach the playing surface. we are rural, we are very basic, very scenic. 0n the playing surface. we are rural, we are very basic, very scenic. on a good day, the match day experience is sublime and very good. 0n good day, the match day experience is sublime and very good. on a wet, windy, dark winter's day, you've got to bea windy, dark winter's day, you've got to be a purist to want to come and watch! this is a small town near bedford with big rugby ambition for stuff they have risen to the championship 35 promotions in 12 yea rs. championship 35 promotions in 12 years. nearly 1000 fans watched this

10:41 pm
his remarkable talent was only matched by his devotion to winning, and breaking the records of the legends he grew up watching. he inspired a whole generation of young athletes. he was one of the first ones to leave high school and come into the nba and do so well, dominating the game and becoming one of the best scorer is that the los angeles lakers has ever seen. he joined the la lakers after being drafted from high school atjust 17. he spent all 20 of his professional seasons with the team he followed as a child, and alongside shaquille o'neill, a child, and alongside shaquille 0'neill, led them to the first three of his five nba titles in los angeles. he is fourth on the nba's all—time scorers list, with a high score of 81 points in a single match. an 18 time all—star and the league's most valuable player in 2008, the same year he won the first of two 0lympic 2008, the same year he won the first of two olympic gold medals, in beijing and then later in london.

words can't even describe what he has done. for the people that know basketball, the people who have been playing this game since they were babies and growing up, it was michaeljordan, it was kobe bryant. now it is lebronjames but it was kobe, he put that member mentality in you, notjust as basketball, the mentality of keep going, keep pushing, it going. that is something that will stick with me forever, no matter what. for me, growing up, i kind of followed his career, and he made everything the success i have a label to enjoy today, he made all of that possible, because he wasjust a regular everyday person, and i think thatis regular everyday person, and i think that is why he is so beloved. he was just a regular guy who worked hard, blue—collar, working his way up to the levels he has gotten to. everything kobe bryant stands for is a reflection of myself and i think thatis a reflection of myself and i think that is why this news has hit me very hard. yes, everybody
