Lakers Pay Tribute to Kobe and Gianna

It hasn’t been a full week yet since we heard the news of Gianna and Kobe Bryant’s passing last Sunday and the world is still grieving. For the Lakers’ first game after the news, the Staples Center paid tribute in a huge way. Everyone attending the game would receive a Kobe Bryant jersey. One side would receive “24” while the other side would receive “8.” Two seats on the sideline were decorated with roses to represent the two of them. Before the game had started, both Usher and Boyz II Men sang “Amazing Grace” and the “National Anthem” respectively. You may have seen it by now, but LeBron James also gave a heartwarming speech and dedication to Kobe.
