Saying goodbye to the Houston Rockets’ toughest opponent: Kobe Bryant

Prior to the Houston Rockets‘ game on Sunday, we all mourned as we received tragic news regarding former Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant.

Kobe Bryant is among those dead in a helicopter crash outside Los Angeles, a source confirms to ESPN.

Bryant was 41 years old and will be forever remembered as one of the greatest players of all-time. Any Houston Rockets fan should remember how unstoppable he was against the Rockets, as he went 33-20 from the 1997-98 season, which was his first All-Star season, through the 2012-13 season, which was his last complete season prior to being hampered by injuries.
