This is story by a ThreeSixty Journlism student in partnership with the Star Tribune from Jan. 27, 2020 at Target Center. It was the first game the Timberwolves played after the tragic deaths of Kobe and Gianna Bryant.
As I stand in the Timberwolves locker room on Monday, Jan. 27, glancing from player to player, I almost forget that one of the NBA’s greatest stars died the day before . . . Almost. Then I turned around, and noticed the massive TV displaying nonstop coverage of Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna and what they meant to basketball.
