Los Angeles owner Lakers' emotional response to Kobe Bryant

41-year-old Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna lost their lives in the crash of the plane, where other people remained dead.

Everyone in different ways has remembered basketball player. The owner of Los Angeles Lakers, Jeanie Bus, has also reacted Thursday.

I don't know how to express in words what you mean to me, to my family and to Los Angeles Lakers. My father [former-owner of Lakers, Jerry Bus] loved you as a boy, making us family”, wrote Bus in the Instagram.

When you invited me to lunch just after my father died, I found it hard to find motivation and purpose for my life. Kobe, you brought Giannan with you to spend some time with me”

You explained that you wanted to prove to her that women could be leaders in the NBA, the same as men. At first, this seemed to me like an act of a devoted father who was setting an example for his daughter”.

But actually I'm sure I know exactly what you were doing to inspire me and give me the power I was looking for. I reflect on that day and that makes me smile and makes me strong”.

I'm sorry for your loss. We are grateful that we have you in our lives and will always be there for you. For other families who lost their loved ones on Sunday, all Lakers' family mourns you”

We'll mourn together, we'll cry together, but we'll be cured together, we'll love it together, we'll win the UNSK. We love you”, closed the Bus paper, along with links to the MambaOnThree Foundation, which was initiated by the British Mamba Sports Association to support the families of the other seven dead. /Periscopi/
