Celtics Rearrange Travel Plans In Order To Attend Kobe Bryant Memorial
Quote:
The Boston Celtics will have the opportunity to attend the memorial for former NBA superstar Kobe Bryant at Staples Center on Feb. 24. The Celtics pushed back their departing flight from Los Angeles so players and staff could attend the memorial, according to The Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach. The memorial for Bryant is set for 10 a.m. PST, the morning after the Celtics play the Los Angeles Lakers at 3:30 p.m. ET.
“I knew we’d have a number of guys that might want to go to the memorial,” Celtics head coach Brad Stevens said. “It’ll be completely up to them, but we wanted to give us that flexibility and that option.”
I'm with you brother.
This is one of the many clips I've watched every single day multiple times since his passing
Did anyone else get lucky with the lottery? I got (bleep) waitlisted.
I was waitlisted yesterday and received a text this morning that I was taken off of it. I immediately got the best tickets i could. Was able to get section 103.

congrats man. so bummed _________________ "When (Kobe) gets you on life support, he won't give you mouth to mouth. HE PULLS THE PLUG." -stu
"Kobe said the most important thing is to try to inspire others so they can be great in whatever they try to do," Wade recalled to a full Heat crowd on Saturday night. "I hope I inspired you. Thank you for making me a part of your legacy. Please know you're a huge part of mine."
After the ceremony he expanded on his remarks about Bryant, saying, "The impact that the passing of Kobe has done on myself and so many others is it's made us sit down and stop. Life goes so fast. We move at a rapid pace. It's made me enjoy the moment more. It's made me want to create more memories. It definitely put a lot of things in perspective. As athletes, we're looked at as superheroes. We looked at Kobe as a superhero. That moment has touched all of us and will continue to. Kobe was leading the way -- he retired and showed us in his next act after retirement that you can master that as well. He mastered basketball, he mastered being an amazing father, he mastered being a husband, he mastered being a creator. He was showing us the way and now we don't have that. So I do have a responsibility to be that guy and show the way for the next generation."
