In a packed Staples Center, three Houston Rockets were present to honor and celebrate the life of the late, great Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna on Monday afternoon. James Harden, Russell Westbrook and P.J. Tucker made the trek to Los Angeles to pay their respects among a myriad of NBA players and coaches.
The tragic events that occurred almost one month ago have shaken the NBA world and will never be forgotten, as Bryant, his daughter, and seven others fell victim to a fatal helicopter crash. Since then, the NBA has been paying tribute to the Black Mamba in many ways, highlighted by an All-Star Game that had the best fourth quarter of any such game of all-time.
