Seeing a lot of posts about it being a yr since Kobe & Gigi were at Staples. I remember something distinctly from that night, & realized in the worst way when they passed in Jan...
I was covering that game & sat in the Chick Hearn press room rather than going to my press seat. I thought about going to my seat so I could watch Kobe mentoring his daughter during the game since he had floor seats, but thought he'll be back again. I'll see him again...
