Zapleti glede Kobejevega slovesa

Smrt Kobeja Bryanta je pretresla športni svet. Eden najbolj priljubljenih športnikov v ZDA je umrl v nedeljo v helikopterski nesreči v Los Angelesu, kjer še vedno kujejo načrte za slovo od legendarnega igralca Jezernikov.

Pred dvorano Staples Center, kjer je Bryant 20 let igral domače tekme, je v dneh po njegovi smrti spontano nastal nekakšen oltar Bryantu, kamor užaloščeni navijači polagajo cvetje, drese, košarkarske žoge in poslovilna pisma.

Sprva so načrtovali, da bi se uradna spominska slovesnost odvila v Staples Centru, ki sprejme 19.000 ljudi. A zaradi ogromnega zanimanja bodo ceremonijo najbrž prestavili.

Navijači se bodo od Kobeja bržkone poslovili na stadionu L.A. Coliseum, trenutnem domovanju NFL moštva LA Rams, ki sprejme 79.000 duš, proča TMZ. V okolici Coliseuma je veliko parkov in drugih površin, ki lahko sprejmejo še več ljudi.

Kot možno lokacijo slovesnosti so omenjali tudi stadion Rose Bowl v Pasadeni, ki sprejme 91.000 gledalcev, a se zaradi oddaljenosti objekta bolj nagibajo h Coliseumu.

"Želimo prisluhniti Vanessi, Lakersom in se prepričati, da bomo imeli priložnost žalovati skupaj na pravi način. Pripravljeni smo pomagati družini pri polaganju Kobeja h zadnjemu počitku. Kakorkoli, kadarkoli in kjerkoli," je za KABC dejal župan Los Angelesa Eric Garcetti.

Spominska slovesnost bi se tako lahko odvila šele v naslednjih tednih, zaenkrat pa ni več znanega niti o Kobejevem pogrebu.

Njegova žena Vanessa Bryant se je oglasila na Instagramu, v svoji objavi pa ni omenila ničesar o slovesnosti ali pogrebu.

My girls and I want to thank the millions of people who’ve shown support and love during this horrific time. Thank you for all the prayers. We definitely need them. We are completely devastated by the sudden loss of my adoring husband, Kobe — the amazing father of our children; and my beautiful, sweet Gianna — a loving, thoughtful, and wonderful daughter, and amazing sister to Natalia, Bianka, and Capri. We are also devastated for the families who lost their loved ones on Sunday, and we share in their grief intimately. There aren’t enough words to describe our pain right now. I take comfort in knowing that Kobe and Gigi both knew that they were so deeply loved. We were so incredibly blessed to have them in our lives. I wish they were here with us forever. They were our beautiful blessings taken from us too soon. I’m not sure what our lives hold beyond today, and it’s impossible to imagine life without them. But we wake up each day, trying to keep pushing because Kobe, and our baby girl, Gigi, are shining on us to light the way. Our love for them is endless — and that’s to say, immeasurable. I just wish I could hug them, kiss them and bless them. Have them here with us, forever. Thank you for sharing your joy, your grief and your support with us. We ask that you grant us the respect and privacy we will need to navigate this new reality. To honor our Team Mamba family, the Mamba Sports Foundation has set up the MambaOnThree Fund to help support the other families affected by this tragedy. To donate, please go to MambaOnThree.org. To further Kobe and Gianna’s legacy in youth sports, please visit MambaSportsFoundation.org. Thank you so much for lifting us up in your prayers, and for loving Kobe, Gigi, Natalia, Bianka, Capri and me. #Mamba #Mambacita #GirlsDad #DaddysGirls #Family
