Hundreds gather outside Staples Center to pay tribute to NBA superstar. FMTNews Bryant
LOS ANGELES: Hundreds of fans gathered Sunday outside the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles to pay tribute to NBA superstar Kobe Bryant, who died in a helicopter crash that stunned the sports world and beyond.
The retired Lakers player, 41, his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven others perished early Sunday in the crash on a hillside in Calabasas, northwest of downtown Los Angeles. One fan placed a wreath outside the Center, which was cordoned off by police because of the Grammys ceremony taking place there Sunday evening.
In New York, the Madison Square Garden ceiling was awash in purple and gold – the Lakers colours – to honour Bryant ahead of the Knicks and Nets game.
