Obviously its huge news here in LA, he played for the LA Lakers for his entire career winning 5 championships in the process. In this area he was bigger than the sport itself, a true sporting icon not only to the world of basketball but across so many other sports. Its ironic that LeBron James only last night overtook him for 3rd spot on the all-time scoring record in the NBA and that the Grammy's are being held tonight at the Staples Center in LA, the place known as Kobe's House!!!
Kobe for many years was the No1 player in the NBA, he took over that mantle from Michael Jordan and held that position until the rise of LeBron!! For sure he had some controversies off the court but Kobe never had any on the court and certainly helped the NBA and basketball as a whole rise in popularity and worldwide appeal. Its certainly going to be an emotional time for the next few weeks in the NBA as the season nears the playoffs and across the whole of LA!!
RIP Kobe.
