NBA utakmice koje su igrane u nedjelju, istog dana kada je u helikopterskoj nesreći poginuo Kobe Bryant zajedno s kćerkom Giannom i još sedmero ljudi, započele su tako što su obje momčadi napravile tzv. "24 shot clock violation", odnosno pustile su da prvi napad istekne do kraja (24 sekunde).
Shaq se teška srca oprostio od svog brata Bryanta: "Ne postoje riječi kojima bih opisao bol"
Razlog je broj 24 koji je Bryant nosio na leđima tijekom većeg dijela svoje NBA karijere. Neki su igrači poput Devina Bookera i Trae Younga ispalili 24 lopte tijekom susreta, također u spomen na brojku koju je Bryant najviše nosio na leđima.
Izrazi sućuti ne prestaju stizati sa svih strana. Od legende Lakersa, koji je cijelu svoju igračku karijeru (20 godina) proveo u istom klubu, opraštaju se brojni sportaši, a na mnoge je Bryant utjecao svojim pristupom sportu.
U nastavku pogledajte poruke s kojima su se Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappe, Luka Dončić i ostali oprostili od 41-godišnjeg košarkaša koji je u nedjelju ujutro po američkom vremenu poginuo u helikopterskoj nesreći. S njim je bila kći Gianna te još sedmero ljudi koji su se nalazili u helikopteru.
Kobe Bryant poginuo u padu helikoptera, smrtno stradala i kći Gianna te još sedmero ljudi!
