“Today, the world mourns the loss of a legend. We are all extremely devastated and saddened to learn of the tragic passing of Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna. “Kobe is one of the greatest competitors the NBA has ever known. His storied career and commitment to the game is revered by fans around the globe. He inspired a generation on and off the court to strive for greatness and his countless contributions to basketball will live on. “We will forever remember the mutual respect shared between Kobe and Sacramento. On behalf of the entire Kings organization, we extend our deepest condolences to his wife Vanessa, their family and all those impacted as we hold them in our hearts and prayers at this most difficult time.” - Sacramento Kings Chairman, CEO and Governor Vivek Ranadivé -- 2002年，Kobe Bryant的拐子架在Mike Bibby的鼻子上，而裁判給了Bibby犯規並給予 湖人罰球機會，也讓湖人能拿走第六場勝利。接下來在最終的第七場決戰，Kobe得了30分 、10籃板還有7次助攻，讓湖人前進總冠軍戰。 在那場比賽之後，我們見證了Chris Webber的受傷、國王的解體、來來往往的總教練 、變動不已的少主與核心，甚至差一點就看到國王離開沙加緬度。我不知道給予各位那些 混亂時間堅定支持的力量是什麼，但對我而言，Kobe是其中的重要因素，因為他始終在那 兒。 我享受那些打倒湖人，讓Kobe吞敗離開的時刻。 I hate to love Kobe, I love to hate Kobe. 而那些時刻通常很少出現，有的時候明明國王取得了領先，但當球傳到Kobe的手上， 你永遠都知道，這個人擁有讓國王翻船的能力。 2016年1月7日，這位深受痛恨的籃球員最後一次造訪沙加緬度，國王迷繼續送給他熱 情滿溢的噓聲，只是沒想到那是我們最後一次在場上噓爆Kobe的機會。 再見Kobe。 -- James Ham幫Kobe與國王之間寫了兩篇文章，附上連結： https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/kings/kings-lose-their-greatest-adversary-kob e-bryants-tragic-death https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/kings/kobe-bryant-soaked-enjoyed-his-final-ga me-vs-kings-sacramento --
