The deaths of Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, have hit Lakers GM Rob Pelinka hard.
The Los Angeles Lakers Vice President of Basketball Operations and General Manager released aon the tragedy on Thursday, remembering his"best friend" and goddaughter. As he said,"There has been an amputation of part of my soul."
"Gigi was pure joy. Her smile brought comfort to any and every occasion. She was brilliant, kind and warm. And, like her dad, when she stepped onto the basketball court, she took on an entirely different nature, and boy could she play," he remembered. "Her basketball destiny was apparent, and the world knew it. She was also an extraordinary, loyal and supportive sister, and a wonderful friend to my children.
"But I am also finding that there is a hope. For now, each new step for me will be full of deep love and prayers, as a heavy sorrow for Vanessa, Natalia, Bianka and Capri, and all the families involved, is slowly redeemed into something healed and new," he said."I am coming to realize that nothing can separate any of us from the love and inspiration we've received from Kobe and Gianna, nothing at all.
