Even though Kobe has retired from the NBA, his ties with the players and coaches are still very close. During each game that has been played since Kobe’s passing, each team has taken a 24 second violation in honor of Bryant. Some of the elite of the NBA got together to remember the young legend.
More details have come out about the helicopter crash. It has been reported that a recommended safety feature was missing. Also Vanessa and Kobe made a pact to not fly in the helicopter together.
