Kobe Bryant was 41 years old at the time of his death and was one of the greatest to ever play the game of basketball, retiring from the sport following the 2015-16 season after playing all 20 seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers. He was drafted right out of high school and went on to win 5 NBA championships (2x finals MVP), was a multiple-time all-star, once most valuable player (2008), fourth-ranked all-time scorer, and the list could go for his amazing achievements and contributions.

Bryant was often compared to Michael Jordan which was a testament of just how great he was and no one could deny that he elevated the game to another level which will never be forgotten. 

Kobe Bryant’s former teammate Shaquille O’Neal, who he won multiple championships with was absolutely lost for words… 

“There’s no words to express the pain Im going through with this tragedy of loosing my neice Gigi & my brother @kobebryant 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“…
