Kobe Bryant was a well-respected figure in the NBA fraternity since being drafted for the LA Lakers in 1996. Despite some off-field struggles (the sexual assault allegations in 2003-04), the Lakers’ legend established himself as one of the biggest names in the sports industry. After retiring from NBA in 2016, Kobe Bryant dedicated his time and energy to improving the sport of basketball. He also built strong community ties across the city of Los Angeles. The world continues to mourn Kobe Bryant and his 13-year old daughter - Gianna.
