If there’s a franchise that can navigate the tragic death of Kobe Bryant, it's the Lakers, writes JeffZillgitt.
You don’t plan for that kind of unthinkable tragedy for an NBA great and franchise icon who is linked intimately with the Los Angeles Lakers and their massive fanbase.
This is devastating for Buss and her family, Pelinka, who was Bryant’s agent and close friend, and the rest of the organization, some of whom worked with Bryant for his two decades with the team. The Lakers still have a championship to pursue. They are 36-10, in first place in the Western Conference and a favorite to reach the NBA Finals.
