This is the best play of Bryant's career.

Watch from 5:16 - 5:40, and continue until 6:03 to see the replay.

Gets a rebound putback over Duncan and Robinson.

9 dead.

NBA TV just showed some clips of Bryant talking to his daughter. Wow, she looks like such a teenager now, not like the little kid that I had seen before.

They are replaying his speech at the end of his final game, saying that that is as close to his Hall Of Fame speech as we'll get.

 

[nuraman00]

Many teams intentionally took 24 second or 8 second violations to start the game. Those were Bryant's jersey numbers.

 

[nuraman00]

They played a clip of Bryant scoffing at the suggestion, that he HAD to have a boy to carry on his legacy.

He said that Gianna had it.

Appreciate your effort here.

Gianna Bryant was born May 1, 2006.

Me'arah O'Neal, Shaq's youngest daughter, was born May 2, 2006.

Talk about another Kobe-Shaq connection.

Here's the route.

Kobe Bryant’s helicopter flew in fog that grounded other aircraft

 

[nuraman00]

Wow.

I didn't see that either.

I both don't like it, but I can understand Gordon Hayward doing it.

I don't really like how Bryant is celebrated on his birthday on 8/23, and how 8/24 is now Mamba Day.

Nike declared April 13, 2016 as "Mamba Day" a few years ago:

Kobe Bryant to Be Honored by Nike on April 13 with 'Mamba Day'

Then a few months later in 2016, the city of Los Angeles declared 8/24 as Mamba Day.

City of Los Angeles Announces Official “Mamba Day”

I think his birthday would have been the best day for Mamba Day.
