The entire NBA community is CRYING over Kobe’s death

Yes, this is a testament to how tremendous both teams can execute this and of course only a handful of players for both teams who were lucky enough to get into the league when Poby finished their final seasons in at least one set. Tonight's topic from EJ, how can you guys stay focused? You know, only one to win the game, when I'll finish the journey. Great, you know, I just, no, no, personally, I know you don't want me out here. and try the ball and you know, it will still be great, so can you describe the mood among your teammate?

I mean, everyone said you know, I mean, you know, words can explain the impact he had on this court on everyone who didn't, I mean, you know. We are a Los Angeles team, so we know that just like in history, both teams tonight, the Clippers and the Magics came out because today's news was the key to you guys getting Roadtrip back in a positive way. I mean, they already know before the game that they both. We were out of time 24 seconds, you know, for Kobe and then they got an eighty-second half-court violation for a tribute tour, so you know, things like that keep the game out of control and I mean, as I said before.

You know, you end up with the adrenaline rushing and you just have to play basketball. We, our work. You know, you decide that he's going to be absent. I think it was difficult for all of us to do our jobs today. No, thanks collective, I'm just going to do it. a brief statement on behalf of the Nets organization and we would like to express our deepest condolences to the Bryan family and everyone affected by the tragedy as an organization, we are devastated, the players are devastated, we have a player who was very close to Kobe. These are our thoughts and prayers with him.

It's also a tough time for the NBA for all of us, but that's really all I have to say. You don't have to imagine, you know how difficult it is to do your job well at that moment because "You're not thinking about work, you're not thinking about career, you're not thinking about points or anything like that, are you thinking about life and what's really important, the basic needs for you as a human being and how fragile all that can be? was gone in a split second, uh, so you know, I thought everyone did a tremendous job of stepping up to the plate. front and try to put it all together, but st. anamosa you know, you think about his family and his friend and the situation they're going through, you just want to go home and kiss your son and your wife and you know the rest is irrelevant right now, could you all be in Shock, we should know how to appreciate how lucky we are sometimes and we become so Delving into our jobs in our profession, you know, contracts, points, minutes, all stars, whatever, that You forget what is really important in life and how everything can disappear in a single moment. you know, an accident, so for me it's always just wanting to come home and kiss me, make it look like he was happier than ever after basketball.

The relationship between him and Gigi was, I mean, everyone saw it, that's all you posted and this was hard. I don't know how we played today. I would start thinking about the game and then it would just come back to my mind. No, we have to play tomorrow and I'm sure Utah will pay tribute to him. This pain is not. It will be gone soon, you don't even have to be a basketball fan to feel this. You meet one of the most competitive athletes, iconic athletes and, honestly, to be completely honest, even more so as a father, what he means to that family.

I pray for Vanessa and the kids and may she rest in peace man, this was hard today that day. I never had a personal relationship with Kobe. He spoke to me many times and always told me that he respects me and the work I do. I've done it and he's watched me from afar as a head coach and as an assistant he told me in Philadelphia, he told me in Los Angeles and it's my home, Kobe is and what I know about Kobe is what I respect the most, you know, I grew up. On the west coast I'm a Lakers fan, but as a kid I had to denounce being a Laker man once you entered the profession, but I've always respected the greatness of him because of his detail, the passion and the intensity of him. of what Richie plays, but there is nothing more than the respect I have for him as a father.

Every image you see of them after their retirement is with their daughters and his family. Everything you see online on Twitter is positive. He encourages others to retweet positive comments. For others today is one of the saddest days of my life it seems like a bad thing it's like a bad dream she just wants to wake up from her nightmare I know we all feel the same about a great leader that's a great champion he's a great person yes you had a chance to meet

kobe

you got a chance to really know

kobe

no one better man he moves all over the place these are the moments when you ask why and that's how i think a lot of us feel well tonight just not I feel like streaming I know a lot of the players, excuse me, I don't feel like playing, it's just a sad, sad day, you're right Mike, I can see it was a bit of a shot for you.

Tyson Chandler played. with Kobe brilliant he played a denoted a couple of different since with the Lakers it has been like that but I don't have let's say I have a person uh no I don't know you know I just don't have much to do Say the news is just devastating for everyone who hears it you know and you know he just admitted that it means a lot to me, obviously, you know he's a great opponent, you know that's what you wanted, sports, yeah, that DNA that very few athletes can have. I know Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan, you know he's funny, yeah, he wasn't getting more sincerity, you know, yeah, this is hard.

I'm not in the best place with him, obviously, trying to make sense of what happened. many great battles with your Lakers Brian in the playoffs Becky Hammon Gregg Popovich just a tough day all around still waiting to bring you the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department press conference that was scheduled for about a half hour ago in Calabasas while you watch Shawn Elliott Hi, with the tragedy of losing Kobe and Giada Bryan said he was a big fan of yours. He already talked about it before. What did it mean to you growing up? It meant a lot to me when she was the daughter of a man.

My deepest condolences. I'm sorry. I was certainly able to focus on something I learned about basketball. Kobe's eyes, what he meant to the game, the inspiration he brought to the world. Just that headline. I am a father. I can't imagine something like that happening. I'm sad sad very sad sad day everything everything I wouldn't do everything I learned came from Kobe everything take you to Kobe I wouldn't be here I wouldn't have loved it I left out of passion to drive you know everything everything
