The tragic and sudden passing of former Los Angeles Lakers legendary shooting guard Kobe Bryant brings up memories of great games against the Chicago Bulls.
The sudden passing of the 41-year-old former Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Kobe Bryant was reported by TMZ originally on Jan. 26. Bryant reportedly passed from a helicopter crash over Calabasas that saw four others also killed over the weekend. His memory will live on in the minds of fans everywhere, including those of the Chicago Bulls.
Kobe was just passed by current Lakers superstar forward LeBron James on the NBA all-time scoring list in a Jan. 25 road loss against the Philadelphia 76ers. The last Tweet that surfaced on Bryant’s timeline before his passing this weekend was congratulating LeBron on surpassing him on the all-time scoring list.
This is maybe the most shocking news in the worst sense of this century for a player passing that had such a huge impact on the game of basketball. Kobe’s impact stemmed beyond the five NBA Championships or 18 All-Star selections that he had during his career with the Lakers.
Continuing to move the game forward @KingJames. Much respect my brother 💪🏾 #33644
