ITP V.020 SPORTS: ONLY ONE PER COFFIN: R.I.P. KOBE BRYANT (LA LAKERS BASKETBALL LEGEND)



Los Angeles LAKERS (retired) basketball star KOBE BRYANT, (along with 8 other people including BRYANT'S 13 year old daughter) was killed in a helicopter crash in California at 41. .

KOBE BRYANT is the NBA's 4th leading scorer of ALL TIME. 

















FROM ITP V.020:
I'm a NY KNICKS fan, but I LOVED KOBE BRYANT.
The last two weeks have been horrible for drummers, animals, Eli Manning (NY GIANTS) retiring and now KOBE BRYANT. Kobe of the LA LAKERS (retired) was one of my favorite NBA players. My condolences to  KOBE BRYANT'S family, former teammates and the LA LAKERS.

For years, X Games shared a home at Staples Center with the Los Angeles Lakers and Kobe Bryant. Bryant even attended X Games while still playing as a Laker.

Our thoughts are with the entire Bryant family, his Laker family and the millions of Kobe Bryant fans throughout the world.

One of the first things I bought with my record advance was season Lakers tix. I saw the first time Kobe walked on the floor. He brought to our city the heart of a champion.
We feel tied to his greatness. As basketball evolves- there are men who are unrivaled (like Kobe Bryant). —PF


FROM TOM PETTY AND THE HEARTBREAKERS:

 Tom’s number one passion was music but the Lakers were a close second. Tom’s obsession with Kobe Bryant and his talent on the court lives on as such a joyful memory. We are shocked and saddened to learn of the passing of Kobe and his daughter, Gianna. We send our love to the Bryant family and the Laker community. This is a horrible tragedy, a legend was lost today.
