Game 47: Ahead of Pelicans-Celtics matchup, my favorite Kobe Bryant memory

There’s a basketball game today in the Smoothie King Center featuring the New Orleans Pelicans and Boston Celtics, but I, like countless of others, will be thinking about the tragic passing of Kobe Bryant.

A helicopter carrying five people, including Bryant and Gianna, his daughter, crashed in Calabasas, California, killing everyone on board this morning.

Just horrible, horrible news and all thoughts and prayers go to all the families of the deceased.

I was fortunate enough to have watched Kobe’s entire 20-year career and the highlights were countless, of course.
