U nedeju uveče po srednjeevropskom vremenu jedan od najvećih i najharizmatičnijih košarkaša svih vremena Kobi Brajant poginuo je u helikipterskoj nesreći, a mnogi ljudi iz sveta košarke oprostili su se od „Crne mambe“ preko društvenih mreža.
Među ljudima koji su izrazili svoju tugu povodom ogromne tragedije su mnogo sadašnje i bivše NBA zvezde, kao i mnoge košarkaške veličine iz regiona.
U ogromnom šoku bio je i nekadašnji Kobijev rival Amare Stodemajer, koji je tragičnu vest saznao tokom utakmice izraelskog šampionata u kojoj je nastupao:

U legendu su otišao još na parketu. Besmrtan ćeš biti dok god se bude igrala košarka i ostaćeš zauvek jedan od njenih simbola.

Man I don’t even know where to start?? I started playing ball because of KOBE after watching the 2010 finals. I had never watched ball before that and that finals was the turning point of my life. I WANTED TO BE LIKE KOBE. I’m so FREAKING SAD right now!!!!
RIP LEGEND

What are you really complaining about yesterday, today, tomorrow. Life is short. Yes money helps, but it doesn’t solve everything. Fuck this one hurt. What the hell can I complain about now? As long as your breathing, be thankful!
