Probably Prince in terms of similar public statute. I still say this is the biggest surprise celebrity death in the USA since Elvis.
Not even close. Not even top 5, maybe not even Top 10.
If you didn’t watch NBA you probably only heard his name from that scandal.
We’ve had huge untimely celebrity deaths with more widespread appeal outside of a sport Since Elvis. That’s 43 years ago.
I think you are vastly overstating his impact outside of basketball. He wasn’t Michael Jordan.
Just off the top of my head, Williams, Bowie, Freddie Mercury, Rickman,
Now if you said “sport stars”...sure he’d be Top 5. But not overall

Well basketball is a global sport and Kobe was the biggest star/icon for a decade
