It was not that long ago that I was left speechless when my musical hero, David Bowie died a few months ago.

It has happened for me again as Muhammad Ali, “The Greatest” died at age 74.

There is absolutely nothing I can tell you about Ali, that you don’t already know. This was not just a boxer, but a man of unique conviction who always stood up for what he believed in and was not just a sporting icon but one who transcended sports the world over.

The photo of him destroying Sonny Liston hangs over my desk, videos of his soliloquies are in my hard drive.

I am at a loss.

RIP: Muhammad. The world will never be the same.
