NFL Players react to the stunning news that NBA Legend Kobe Bryant and 8 others died in a helicopter crash in Calabasa, CA on Sunday morning on their way to the AAU basketball game of Bryant’s 13 year old daughter Gianna at his Mamba Sports Academy training facility in Thousand Oaks, CA.
Kobe played 20 years for the Los Angeles Lakers, making 15 All-NBA Teams, tied for the most with LeBron James, Kareem-Abdul Jabbar and Tim Duncan. He also won an MVP and had 18 All-Star berths. Many of the best memories came in the regular season, like his 81-point game vs. the Raptors, 62 points in 3 quarters vs. the Mavericks, the free throws with a torn Achilles.
