Kobe Bryant was an iconic player in NBA and Lakers’ Lore, a 5-time NBA champion, an MVP and for many in the discussion for the biggest player ever.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver submitted the following statement of the 5-year anniversary of Kobe Bryant’s passing:

“Kobe Bryant continues to serve as inspiration for hopeful and current NBA and WNBA players, young athletes playing at all levels, and those who are exclusively motivated by his merciless persecution of expertise.

Our thoughts today are with Vanessa and the Bryant family as we remember Kobe and their daughter, Gianna, with whom he shared a special bond around a deep love for the basketball game. “
