Fans of the Los Angeles American Football Club have beautifully honored the memory of legendary basketball player Kobe Bryant, who died in a plane crash on January 26.
Before the match for the 1/8 finals of the CONCACAF Champions League against the Mexican “Leon”, the fans posted a huge banner with a picture of Bryant and his daughter Gianna, who also died.
In addition, the fans on the sides recreated two numbers - 8 and 14. Bryant spoke on the eighth number on the floor, but another figure, apparently, speaks of the day he ended his career - on April 14, 2016 he had his last fight.
To your attention a video with this touching performance. Note that the “Los Angeles” in this meeting won a landslide victory with a score of 3:
0 and went to the next stage of the tournament.
The helicopter that Bryant was on, his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and six others, crashed in the mountains of the city of Calabasas (Los Angeles County, California). All died. They flew to training.
Bryant completed his player career in 2016. For 20 seasons, he played for the Los Angeles Lakers, with whom he five times became the NBA champion (2000, 2001, 2002, 2009, 2010). On his account 1346 fights.
