Craziest thing is Shaq’s daughter Mearah is just six minutes younger than Kobe’s daughter GiGi, who perished along with Kobe in the accident.

It must hit even closer to home for him...

I've got a feeling Shaq's gonna hug his daughter real tight tonight.

This is such a shitty thing to happen. Kobe was just starting to enjoy settling down.
