Rip, Kobe Bryant, and Daughter, Gigi

a sad, tragic day
frozen in mute disbelief
extremely surreal


Tribute: 
More than one of the greatest and influential basketball players of all time, Kobe Bryant was a great human being, extremely humble, an intellectual sports icon. An American treasure who will be horribly missed.

RIP, Kobe Bryant: 1978-2020
RIP, Gianna Marie Bryant: 2006-2020
*Deepest condolences to the entire Bryant family*
