Lakers Pay Tribute To Kobe Bryant With Video, Ceremony Before Returning To Court Against Trail Blazers

The entire NBA world continues to mourn the death of Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant after he, his daughter Gianna, and seven others were tragically killed in a helicopter crash this past weekend.

With such a devastating tragedy taking place, it has been hard for the entire league to focus on basketball. The NBA postponed the Lakers’ first game this week, which the Clippers had no issue with.

It took some time, but Kobe’s wife Vanessa, as well as Lakers owner Jeanie Buss and vice president of basketball operations and general manager Rob Pelinka all recently put out statements about the accident.
