When told on Sunday that Bryant had died, Shaquille O'Neal didn’t want to believe it. 'Haven’t felt a pain that sharp in a while,' he said.
He told a story about the 2016 All-Star Game, at a dinner party for Bryant, hosted by Wade, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul.Barkley and Johnson wanted to make sure the other seven people on board were also remembered, and TNT displayed photos of all nine victims.
At halftime, WNBA star Candace Parker said she appreciated how Bryant embraced the WNBA by attending games with his daughters. Bryant, Parker said, once told her, while looking at his daughters, “One day, they’re going to break all your records.” Nash didn’t say what he said, but told viewers, “Inside, that’s a sign of respect, and I thought to myself with a smile, I have to trust my teammates because I wasn’t anywhere near the player you are.
