The loss of a leaping laker is lamented. Perhaps it’s poetic, painful and yet somewhat poignant that he descended from the sky, only to rise as a spirit. To ascend into the gates of heaven for one final ring: a halo. An angel of Los Angeles.#ripkobebryant #ripkobe #ripgianna pic.twitter.com/zhKfQEJJEk
