L’NBA piange la prematura scomparsa causa Covid-19 dell’amatissimo giornalista Sekou Smith

L’intero mondo NBA ha pianto la scomparsa del giornalista Sekou Smith, morto martedì all’età di 48 anni. L’amato giornalista è morto a causa di complicazioni dovute al COVID-19. Smith ha lavorato nel settore per oltre due decenni, a partire dal 2001, coprendo gli Indiana Pacers per l’Indianapolis Star.

Naturalmente tutto il mondo NBA ha voluto rendere omaggio a una figura che ha segnato gli inizi del terzo millennio cestistico americano.

Man today just got a little heavier… my condolences to Sekou’s wife, family, friends, and extended NBA family. What a kind and compassionate man we just lost. 🙏🏾🕊
