SVET SE OPRAŠTA OD KOBIJA: "Bio si prekretnica u mom životu"
Tragična vest da su u helikopterskoj nesreći nastradali Kobi Brajant i njegova kći Đijana Marija, potresla je čitav svet, posebno njihove prijatelje i nekadašnje Kobijeve saigrače.
Društvene mreže preplavljene su oproštajnim porukama od jednog od najvećih košarkaša svih vremena, a među prvima koji se oglasio povodom ove tragične vesti bio je Džo Embid, košarkaš Filadelfije.
"Čoveče, odakle početi... Počeo sam igrati zbog njega gledajući finale 2010. godine. Nikad nisam gledao košarku pre toga i to je bila prekretnica moga života. Hteo sam biti kao Kobi i tako sam tužan. Počivaj u miru, legendo", napisao je Embid.
Man I don’t even know where to start?? I started playing ball because of KOBE after watching the 2010 finals. I had never watched ball before that and that finals was the turning point of my life. I WANTED TO BE LIKE KOBE. I’m so FREAKING SAD right now!!!!
RIP LEGEND

Od Kobija se emotivnom porukom oprostio i legendarni Bil Rasel, legenda Boston Seltiksa.
"Moja supruga i ja ostali smo apsolutno šokirani vešću da smo ostali bez jedne od meni najdražih osoba i jednog od najvećih košarkaških umova svih vremena. Naše misli i molitve su za njegovu suprugu Vanesu i njihove kćeri. Kobi Brajant, bio si moj najveći obožavatelj, ali i ja sam bio tvoj."

Od Kobija se oprostio i generalni menadžer Sakramenta, Vlade Divac.
"Kobi je jako voleo košarku i svoju porodicu. Dok razmišljam o njegovoj neverovatnoj zaostavštini, sećam se njegovog takmičarskog duha i toga da je milione ljudi širom sveta inspirisao. Kao otac, gubitak Ðijane je poražavajući. Srcem sam uz Vanesu, njihove ćerke i sve one koji su pogođeni", napisao je Divac na Instagramu.
