NBA fans from all walks of life honored the legendary Kobe Bryant.
The world is in shock with the news that all-time NBA great Kobe Bryant was killed in a helicopter crash outside of Calabasas, CA on Sunday, January 26th. He was 41-years-old.
Kobe spent the entirety of his 20-year career as a Los Angeles Laker, wining five championships and one MVP in the process. When he retired at the end of the 2016-2017 season, he wrapped up his career third on the all-time scoring list, racking up 33,643 points.
In a cruel twist, LeBron James just surpassed Kobe in points scored all-time last night during a loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. Kobe was in attendance and congratulated LeBron.
