During the memorial, Rob Pelinka (Lakers GM) said he got a text from Kobe while he was on the helicopter asking for an internship for Lexie Altobelli. A final act of kindless by Kobe.

Yes, Boras is human.

Some EMT's supposedly took pictures as well. One showed the pics in a bar to impress a girl then the bartender reported it.

Very insensitive.

Awwwwww! Capri did pretty well with those steps.

Helping Capri walk is great therapy for Vanessa. It is sad an occasion like this that Kobe and Gianna are not here to see it.

The helicopter climb up the clouds and then headed tragically downward in the crash.

New helicopter laws being proposed. With Vanessa Bryant advocating it. The Helicopter Safety Act.

The latest report said it believed the pilot was disoriented which I thought was already established. He thought he was climbing 4000 feet when actually he was heading to crash in the mountainside. That is just awful.

Elisabet Gianna Gasol was born to Cat and Pau Gasol (NBA Player). Daughter was named for Gianna Bryant.

That was nice of them to name their daughter for Gianna. For a second, when I saw the name Gasol I thought it was Marc of the Raps. It is Pau, his brother who played for the Lakers.

I can't believe it has been a whole year.  The first year is always the hardest, but the Bryant family has made it through.  Especially hard on Vanessa and Natalia.

A emotional dedication to Kobe Bryant mark on the art wall murals.

I'm sure there are a lot of murals of Kobe, especially around the Staples Center.

Sportsnet had a special on his last night, "Kobe Bryant, Through the Years" which highlighted his basketball career.  I think it was aired before, looked familiar but always great to see.  He was a legend and it is so sad he had an unhappy ending.

Kobe's rookie card sells for $1.8 million dollars.
