I think he’s the first superstar that I actually followed closely to pass away in my lifetime.

As a huge Jazz fan he broke my heart many times....I couldn’t stand Kobe and the Lakers, but I really grew to respect Kobe and grew to love watching his game. He is truly a legend and one of the greatest to ever do it. He definitely provided some truly memorable sports moments for me...both good and bad. He was far to young to go.....truly a tragedy.

I feel sick hearing this news. R.I.P. Mamba....

Here’s the tribute video the Jazz made for his last game in SLC:
