Kobe Bryant (1978 - 2020)
Svet pretresla kruta novica: Zakaj ravno ti, Kobe?
Novica o smrti Kobeja Bryanta, enega izmed najboljših in najbolj priljubljenih košarkarjev vseh časov, je udarila kot strela z jasnega in v nedeljo ovila športni svet v črno. Po socialnih omrežjih dežujejo žalna sporočila. Javljajo se znani in neznani, vsi, ki se jih je dolgoletni zvezdnik Los Angeles Lakers dotaknil s svojimi dosežki, talentom in predanim delom, žalost pa je še toliko večja, ker je v nesreči ugasnilo tudi življenje njegove hčerke Gianne.

''Ne, zakaj ravno ti? Počivaj v miru, mamba. Hvala za vse, kar si pokazal in naredil za svet,'' je prek Instagrama sporočil mladi zvezdnik Dallas Mavericks, ki se je z Bryantom nedavno zapletel v sproščen pogovor, Američan pa ga je nagovoril kar v slovenskem jeziku.

Prvi naslov v ligi NBA je osvojil skupaj s Shaquillom O'Nealom, s katerim sta zaznamovala košarko zlasti v začetku tega tisočletja. Bila sta zelo povezana, več kot le soigralca.

Mladi zvezdnik Atlante Trae Young je zaupal, kako mu je Gianna Maria Bryant, 13-letna hčerka Kobeja Bryanta, ki je tudi izgubila življenje v helikopterjevi nesreči v Kaliforniji, dejala, kako najraje spremlja prav njegove košarkarske predstave.
...This S*** can’t be real... this the first moment I was able to meet Gianna Maria, she’s been to only 3 games this year... 2 of them were mine... She told me I was her favorite player to watch🙏🏽 I can’t believe this😢😭
