While the world of the NBA (and the whole world actually) is still trying to cope with the tragic and unexpected death of Kobe Bryant in a helicopter crash last Sunday at the age of forty-one years old, the game took back its rights this week, and it is needless to say that it was quite difficult for some players to get back to work, and nearly impossible for some others. Kyrie Irving, close to Kobe, could not play the derby against the Knicks with his team of the Brooklyn Nets on the day that followed the tragedy. In the meantime, the game between the Lakers and the Clippers was postponed, and a succession of tributes was witnessed on the NBA<\/a> courts to pay homage to the one who made the Lakers great again in the 2000s, but also to his daughter Gianna, only thirteen years old, and the seven other casualties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
