The normal introduction doesn’t apply to today as the world of sports and beyond continue to mourn the tragic loss of Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant and his daughter, Gianna. Our thoughts are with the Bryant family.
A legend on the court.
A global ambassador for our sport.
An icon of our generation.
From all of us in the Oklahoma Basketball Family - Thank You, Kobe. pic.twitter.com/EmlDnQtTf4— Oklahoma Basketball (@OU_MBBall) January 27, 2020Trae Young, who had developed a special bond with both Kobe and Gianna over the past year and had FaceTimed with the two of them just hours before their passing, paid tribute as fittingly as anyone.
