LAFOLLETTE, TN (WLAF) – Alex Bullman, Sugar Hollow’s aspiring NBA Superstar, couldn’t hold back the tears when he heard the news of the death of one of his basketball heroes, Kobe Bryant.  For someone who ate, slept and breathed sports, especially basketball, the tragic story hit hard.  This community was hit hard with the news of young Bullman’s death last week.

The blue eyed boy watched Tennessee football and basketball and talked about the games.  He knew the players inside and out and even players from old Vols teams dating back to the 1970s.  “Alex would often watch a game and then call a family member and tell them about the game,” said his Aunt Kodi Dupuy whom he called Ko Ko.

Like lots of hoop lovers, he had a basketball goal on his driveway at home.  The fourth grader even played on the old goal at his grandparents home that was erected years ago for his mom Chesni Bullman and Ko Ko.

The career choices for a little boy are many ranging from being a fireman to an attorney or somewhere in between.  For Bullman, the choice was clear cut for the energetic nine-year old.  He had his sights set on becoming an NBA Superstar.

Sadly,  the dream of NBA stardom is now gone as is Bullman.

A community collectively cried upon hearing the news of Bullman’s tragic death last week. Condolences poured into his family from a community left to mourn him and his dreams of basketball stardom.  (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED – 10/19/2020-6AM)
