I don't know much about her, but Didion's central legacy is based around her creativity and putting art and ideas out into the world. Bryant's life surely has many lessons to teach us, but in terms of legacy he was not someone who could potentially inspire anyone--you have to be into basketball or sports in general for his life to be relevant to you at all, much less a source of new ideas. Maybe a fitting comparison would be the deaths of a famous philosopher and a famous Christian theologian writer?
