The NBA world and all of sports were in shock on Sunday when the tragic news was handed down that Kobe Bryant and one of his daughters had passed away in a helicopter crash as they made their way to a basketball game.
The NBA ultimately decided to play their slate of games and teams wanted to honor the man that will go down as one of the greatest to ever do it.
The Toronto Raptors knew they wanted to do, so they both got a possession to begin their game and each took a 24-second shot clock violation to pay homage to Kobe.
R.I.P to Kobe and prayers to Vanessa Bryant who has to deal with a tragic death to her husband and a daughter while caring for the other 3.
