Among other things, Bryant was able to earn the championship title 5 times in the NBA, was nominated 18 times in the All-Stars team and even won an Oscar for the best animated short film about his love of sport. Until a few days ago, Bryant was the third best NBA player in the world.
In addition to 2K Games, many other athletes and celebrities have of course expressed their grief, including Shaquille O’Neal or US President Donald Trump.
