Jack Dempsey lost his boxing title in ’26, in Philadelphia. Then 57 years later, he died the day the Philadelphia 76ers won the NBA Finals, May 31, 1983.
NBA Finals = 57

Keep in mind that was the year Moses Malone was MVP, and Kobe Bryant turned 5 (two Philadelphia basketball stars who would die in a paired ritual eventually). And in the case of Kobe Bryant, he would die on the 26th day of the year, going back to Dempsey losing his title in ’26.
Athlete = 26
Bryant = 26
Game = 26
God = 26

Notice furthermore that Dempsey was born in Colorado, and died in ’83.
Colorado = 83
Murder = 83

Kobe’s death was synced with the 83-year-old Pope.
Papacy = 26

And in light of Dempsey dying in connection to the sport of basketball, he had 85 career fights and 68 wins.
Basketball = 85 & 68

That fight was on the 266th day of the year, and Kobe Bryant died 266 days after his wife, who was mad at him in the past for his affair in Colorado.
Iesus Hominum Salvator = 266

It goes with Pope Francis being the 266th Pope.

And for one more… recall Kobe died on his 157th day of his age.
William Harrison “Jack” Dempsey = 157
Kobe Bryant = 157
