“The NBA family is devastated by
the tragic passing of Kobe Bryant and his daughter, Gianna.
“For 20 seasons, Kobe showed us
what is possible when remarkable talent blends with an absolute devotion to
winning. He was one of the most
extraordinary players in the history of our game with accomplishments that are
legendary: five NBA championships, an
NBA MVP award, 18 NBA All-Star selections and two Olympic gold medals. But he will be remembered most for inspiring
people around the world to pick up a basketball and compete to the very best of
their ability. He was generous with the
wisdom he acquired and saw it as his mission to share it with future
generations of players, taking special delight in passing down his love of the
game to Gianna.
“We send our heartfelt condolences
to his wife, Vanessa, and their family, the Lakers organization and the entire
sports world.”
