LeBron on passing Kobe for 3rd most points in NBA history less than 24 hours before Kobe's death:
“It’s just too much. In Philadelphia, where he’s from, where one of the first times I ever met him in this city during All-Star week…it’s surreal. It doesn’t make any sense, but the universe just puts things in your life…I’m happy just to be in any conversation with Kobe Bean Bryant, one of the all-time greatest basketball players to ever play, one of the all-time greatest Lakers. The man has two jerseys hanging up in Staples Center, it’s just crazy”
The timing of all this was crazy. RIP
Very curious of how lebron will address the public/media on this. He looked pretty distraught when he got off the plane yesterday though but I'm sure his words will mean something to a lot of people.
Such a shame kobe died before his induction to the hall of fame later this year. I wonder who'll induct on his behalf. Shaq, Jordan, Gasol, LeBron, etc - hopefully all of the above.
