KOBE BRYANT DEAD AT 41: NBA legend, 13 yr-old daughter Gianna among 9 confirmed dead

So sad. I was a Kobe fan...even though he played for the Lakers and usually torched us. Especially as his generation of players got older (including Dirk, KG, TD, etc.), I respected them more as they still hung around while the LeBron generation of players replaced them in the spotlight.

3 of the 4 played for only one franchise.
