When Nakamura finally blasted Sami with his twisting Kinshasa knee to the face, more than a few tears were shed — not just because of the finality of Sami’s farewell, but because he’d gone out the only way he knew how: Full speed ahead, no regrets, and with everyone wondering how anyone could possibly follow that.
