The tragic passing of Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gigi still doesn't seem real.
It has been five years since a tragic helicopter crash took the lives of Kobe, Gigi, and seven others. Even in such a dark time, the Los Angeles community has been strong in remembering the lives lost.
Bryant's legacy in the game of basketball would be described as one of one. A career that will never be duplicated means that Bryant helped change the game of basketball for the better.
