V nedeljo je v helikopterski nesreči v Kaliforniji umrl nekdanji košarkarski zvezdnik Kobe Bryant. Tamkajšnje oblasti so potrdile, da je pri kraju Calabasas strmoglavil helikopter s peterico ljudi na krovu, med žrtvami pa je tudi legendarni košarkar.
Smrt enega največjih vseh časov, ki je za vedno zaznamoval košarko, je vidno pretresla ves svet. Z žalostnimi sporočili so se oglasili številni nekdanji Bryantovi soigralci, prijatelji in tudi nasprotniki, ki jih je močno prizadela izguba športne ikone.
Eden izmed najbolj prizadetih je tudi Slovenec Luka Dončić, čigar kariero je "Črna mamba" močno zaznamovala. Luka se je po prvih neuradnih poročilih o Bryantovi smrti preko Twitterja oglasil z besedami: "Prosim, ne!", kmalu pa je sledila objava: "To ne more biti res".
NO PLEASE🙏

Luka je nato delil še objavo lastnika ekipe Dallas Mavericks, Marka Cubana, ki se je oglasil z besedami: "Nikoli ne smemo pozabiti, kako dragoceno je življenje. Kako so dragoceni tisti, ki ti veliko pomenijo, zato jim nikoli ne smemo pustiti pozabiti, kako globoko jih ljubimo."
We can never forget how precious life is. How those who are special to you and never let them forget how deeply you love them

Izguba enega izmed največjih vse časov se je dotaknila tudi Gorana Dragića, ki je preko Twitterja delil njuno skupno fotografijo, zraven pa zapisal: "Miru in moči družini Bryantovih ter ljubiteljem košarke po celem svetu. Počivaj v miru, Kobe Bryant."
