After hearing the sad news regarding the helicopter crash that claimed the life of the legendary Los Angeles Laker Kobe Bryant, his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, among others, while on their way to the Mamba Academy in the Newbury Park section of the City of Thousand Oaks, CA, I stopped by the location to pay my respects.
My entire family was saddened by the tragedy, having been Kobe Bryant fans throughout his career. My stepdaughter is a huge Kobe fan and asked me to go to the Mamba Academy to pay tribute to Kobe. Upon my arrival, I spoke to many of Kobe’s fans who were also deeply saddened by the news.
