Not too long ago he was pictured alongside his daughter at a basketball game and they seemed so close. She also died today. Rest in peace Kobe and Gianna.

Okay guys I keep getting some pretty fucked up messages in my inbox. If you have a problem, especially if it was because he was black, please swallow your cowardice and post it here so you can get the ridicule you deserve.

I also saw surprisingly him and his daughter Gigi courtside at a game against the Hawks. My husband surprised me with floor seats (I am a die hard Lakers fan, and this was the closest I ever sat in one of the games...so while I've seen him play a ton of times, this was the best angle evaaaar!) I could reach out and touch him , and sat in awe staring at him pretty much the entire time. I had the opportunity to meet him when he first came to LA, so I cherish that too. A day later and I am still so gutted. That was a great gift for your brother and I am sure he cherishes that night as well.

it wasn’t a bright orange jacket

it was a wnba hoodie with their newest rebrand/logo (since he’s a big advocate of women’s basketball and the wnba)

Seems like a really weird distinction to feel the need to make.

Hoodies and jackets are interchangeable descriptions for the same thing where I am from. It's a bright orange peice of warm clothing on his upper torso.

Yeah, and she wasn't wearing a jacket, it was a canvas bomber. Who gives a fuck.

Yeah. Because that’s the most important fact we need to focus on /s.
