Michael Jordan, Kareem Adbul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Jerry West, James Harden, Russell Westbrook and Kyrie Irving were among the thousands packed into the Staples Center Monday afternoon in Los Angeles to honor former Los Angeles Laker great Kobe Bryant and his 13-year old daughter Gianna who were killed last month along with seven other people in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California.
Kobe's widow, Vanessa Bryant, gave an emotional speech in honor of her late husband and daughter calling Kobe the 'MVP of Dads.' Other speakers included Jordan, Bryant's former teammate Shaquille O'Neal, and UConn coach Gino Auriemma. Kobe Bryant was 41.
