#RipKobe "I am a Lakers fan. And a father. What a tragedy for the Bryant family to lose Kobe and his daughter Gianna today. We wanted to be near the fatality site to thank him for his life. For Kobe, let's do the 2 and 4 signs with our fingers, like the 24 on his jersey." #kobebryant #kobe&gigi #LivePilgrimage #onsite #americanpilgrimages #PelerinagesAmericains #america #usa #california #basketballlegend #nbalegend #kobefan #lakers #lakersfan

#RipKobe "Losing Kobe like this, one year after Nipsey Hussle, it's tough for us in LA. It hurts even more as I was a ball player myself. I spent the day here at Staples Centre to pay tribute to him. And I'll be back tomorrow at 6am."

#RipKobe "Kobe Bryant is such an inspiration for me. Especially his work ethics. That's because of him that I worked hard to lose 50 pounds. I drove 150 miles to get here when I saw the news" #KobeInspired Nice tribute @mike.wallace.2723 #kobebryant #workethics #LivePilgrimage #onsite #kobemural #kobeandgigi #americanpilgrimages #PelerinagesAmericains #america #usa #california #basketballlegend #nbalegend #kobefan #lakers #lakersfan

#FromDreamToTragedy When I took this picture at #StaplesCentre on January 11th, how could I think I'd be back there so soon to pay tribute to Kobe and do my interviews? At the time, I felt like a happy kid in front of the Lakers statues. A kid happy to send a 📸 to my friend @bernik___ after he submited this mythic arena as a #CalifornianPilgrimage destination. Since Kobe's death, Staples Centre has become the main pilgrimage site in the US. #irony #lakersStrong #purpleandgold #thehousethatkobebuilt #lakers #magicjohnson #kobebryant #americanpilgrimages #PelerinagesAmericains #travel #usa #America #RipKobe

#OnTheRoad with @Laker_Sparrow — one of the biggest Lakers fans. "When Kobe died, I was flying back from the NYC Lakers game. I could not believe it. He's my hero. He's everywhere in my room. You want to come to my place? I'll show you the shrine dedicated to the Lakers. It's definitely in the top 5 Lakers collections in the world". #kobebryant #purpleandgold #hitchhiking #travel #LivePilgrimage #onsite #americanpilgrimages #PelerinagesAmericains #america #usa #california #basketballlegend #nbalegend #kobefan #lakers #lakersfan
