Beyoncé remembered Kobe Bryant, who appeared in Destiny's Child's 'Bug-A-Boo' video, on Instagram on Wednesday, writing, 'I will continue to diligently pray for your Queens. You are deeply missed beloved Kobe.'
The Players' Tribune
"We are stunned and devastated by the news of the sudden passing of Kobe Bryant," the National Basketball Players Association said in a statement. "Words cannot express his impact on our Players, the NBA and the game of basketball. This is a monumental loss for the entire basketball community and our hearts are quite simply broken. We send love and prayers out to his wife Vanessa and the entire family.
"You know I teased him the first time we met. It was in the Garden in New York and I offered him a basketball and asked him, did he want me to autograph it for him. He looked at me like I was crazy," Nicholson continued. "We'll think of him all the time and we'll miss him. He was just one of those touched people."
Los Angeles Clippers coach Doc Rivers told a press conference ahead of his game on Sunday, "This is a great loss for the league and I thought he had so much more left to do, and he was starting to do it. I've never seen him happier." Tearing up, he added, "We're all Lakers today."
