There’s no words to express the pain Im going through with this tragedy of loosing my neice Gigi & my brother Kobe Bryant I love u and u will be missed. My condolences goes out to the Bryant family and the families of the other passengers on board. IM SICK RIGHT NOW

A lot of these tributes mention Kobe Bryant’s great sense of humor. I hope this video brings a smile to your face on a devastating day, and reminds us of the many layers and many laughs of one of the greatest athletes of all time. x.com/KarenCivil/sta…

Kobe was so much more than an athlete, he was a family man. That was what we had most in common. I would hug his children like they were my own and he would embrace my kids like they were his. His baby girl Gigi was born on the same day as my youngest daughter Me’Arah.

Man this was the team I grew up watching. That Kobe, Gasol and Bynum trio. Then Shannon brown and Odom coming off the bench wit Vujacic. Plus we had Metta knocking dudes out lol. So many child hood memories man Rip Goat💛💜

This is hands down the best description of Kobe Bryant yet 😭😔

Never get to comfortable.
