The Los Angeles Lakers star’s tragic death was met with shock and mourning:
How absolutely horrifying. Watching Kobe totally embrace post-basketball life has been awesome. Getting to do all the things he didnt get to do while he was playing. Getting so wrapped up in his daughters basketball. The films. All of it. This is just unspeakably awful.
