Itโs been two years since the tragic passing of Kobe Bryant.
The NBA star, his daughter and seven others were aboard a helicopter on an overcast day traveling from Orange County, CA. to Thousand Oaks, CA.
They were traveling to the Mamba Sports Academy for his daughterโs basketball game.
Kobe often used his helicopter to travel to games and bypass LA traffic.
The chopper sadly never reached its final destination, and crashed into a hillside in Calabasas, CA on January 26, 2020.
Everyone on the helicopter died upon impact.
Debris From The Tragic Crash
Many who knew Kobe, loved Kobe and were a fan of Kobe took to social media today to remember the NBA legend.
Among those people was Lamar Odom.
The ex-husband of Khloe Kardashian used to play for the Los Angeles Lakers alongside Kobe.
He played with the LA Lakers from 2004 to 2011 before getting traded to the Dallas Mavericks.
Odom took to Instagram and posted a video of a gift he received in honor of his former teammate and friend.
