regarded as one of the greatest basketball players of all time. bryant was drafted to the nba straight from high school in 1996 spending his entire 20-year career with the los angeles lakers. the 18-time all-star winning five nba championships as well as two olympic gold medals. the 41-year-old, married father of four, retired from basketball in 2016. his third all-time scoring record passed just hours before the crash. bryant responding with what would be his final tweet. continuing to move the game ford at king james. much respect, my brother. >> i'm happy to be just in any conversation with kobe bean bryant. >> reporter: inside the staples center where kobe spent his storied career, stars at the grammys paying tribute. ♪ fans gathered outside. and fellow nba greats honoring

bryant on social media. shaquille o'neal posting on instagram that there are no words to express his pain calling bryant his brother. michael jordan echoing that writing "i am in shock calling bryant a fierce competitor, one of the greats of the game and a creative force." the ntsb is now investigating the crash looking into the helicopter's maintenance records to see if they can determine a cause. meanwhile here in los angeles, buildings lighting up in purple and gold to honor the athlete. in calabasas, california, romina pugga. >> we've seen tributes from all over the world, even from organizations that rival the lakers and 40 play them several times a year. >> reporter: yes, eric. fellow athletes, coaches, and even team owners. mark cuban, the owner of rival team dallas mavericks, says he is retiring number 24, that no

maverick will ever use that number again. strong words coming from a rival team. >> thank you very much. golden state warriors star steph curry wrote about kobe just a few hours on instagram. he said, quote, a lot of questions right now. our faith is being tested. but all i can say is thank you. may you and gianna rest easy. earlier today warriors' general manager spoke fondly of kobe. larry beil joins us live from miami. larry? >> reporter: thank you, eric. i got yo tell you this whole day just seems surreal. we gathered this morning. our abc7 crew was at sfo, and we were getting ready to board a plane to cover the super bowl when suddenly all of our phones started buzzing. phone calls with people asking what happened to kobe, did this really happen? and everybody was frantic in a

panic. we didn't know anything. later the worst-case scenario was confirmed by lapd. we knew that kobe bryant had died in a helicopter crash. we went from the excitement of coming here to cover the super bowl to just supreme sadness. the warriors, they happen to be on the court practicing when news broke. they just stopped, everybody walked off the court. they had a planned media availability. they canceled that. later on in the day general manager bob meyers talked about this tragic loss. >> in this short of time maybe n't en ihatngtoim obvly hmily, th'rou. sad part about, time doesn't heal our wounds. we like to tell ourselves that,

but this is one that you -- you know, he'll be remembered so many different ways by so many different people. >> reporter: you see in all those highlights there over the course of his 20-year career, kobe had so many great games against the golden state warriors. and fans will remember back in 2013 when late in the season he actually tore his achilles tendon while playing a late-season game against the golden state warriors being guarded by harrison barnes at the time. and the competitor that kobe bryant was, he limped to the bench, limped back out onto the court. he could hardly even walk, and naturally made both of his free throws. i mean, that's how driven this man was on a basketball court. it's such an enormous loss. it's almost impossible to reall. the only thing i'mi ink abois f extent of the laker family, everybody that came in contact with kobe bryant is, you know

what, if you have loved ones, hug them, tell them that you love them because life can change in a flash, and, eric, we just never see it coming. really sad day. >> yeah. such a bigger than life icon. you think he's invincible, but out of all the feats that he accomplished on the basketball curt, i think what impresses me most, and i like your comment on this, is that in 20 years on the nba he only missed the all-star game twice. >> reporter: well, i mean, he was the closest thing to michael jordan that we've ever seen. and he was just really starting his career in terms of his media company. he really wanted to embrace that. that and interestingly enough women's basketball because his young daughter gianna who was only 13 was kind of turning into the female version of kobe bryant on the basketball court.

and sadly we will never see either one of them again. >> all right, larry beil live in miami. thank you so much, sir. kobe bryant's death has also shaken former warriors players, one of them donald got to see a different side of the nba's all-star player. abc7 news reporter luz pena spoke to him today. >> we played so many games. and i always laughed because there is one game we played, and he was with shaq at the time. and shaq is in one side. and kobe's coming down the other side and i'm in the middle. and i'm thinking, oh, my goodness, what am i going to do? >> reporter: being a kobe bryant fan is one thing, but being a former nba player that is a fan, there's lots of years of respect attached to that. >> i don't have a lot of jerseys in my house. but kobe was definitely one of the people that i had on my wall. >> reporter: how do you think that kobe changed the game of basketball? >> i think he changedasl by making it more than a game.

i think that when you look at the international reach of the game, kobe was a huge part of that. >> reporter: after 13 years in the nba, ten with the golden state warriors, he remembers how every time kobe bryant stepped on that court, he automatically captured everyone's attention. who was kobe bryant on the court? >> kobe was probably one of the fiercest competitors i've ever met. he remembers everyone everything. he studies the game. if you beat him, he will come back three times as hard to beat you the next time. >> reporter: he doesn't only remember kobe as a five-time nba champion. to him he was special. fierce on the court as well as with his words. >> one of the things that we bonded over. we did rookie transition together. we talk a lot not about basketball but about poetry. i went back and read his poem, "dear basketball," and there was a line that i thought was so searing. it says i never saw the end of

the tunnel. i only saw myself running out of one. in the context of today, it's haunting. >> reporter: and on his living room table, there is only space for one book. at the warrior's home, kobe bryant's photo reminds us that los angeles is not the only city mourning his death tonight. >> kobe nicknamed himself "the black mama," which, by the way, is dangerous snake to represent the man who took care of business on the court. many to paid tribute to kobe wrote about his life as a player and family man. former president barack obama tweeted that kobe was a legend on the court and just getting started in what would have been just as meaningful a second act. and governor gavin newsom writes

today the world lost a legend. he was an icon. his heart goes out to his family and friends. landmarks are lit up in honor of kobe bryant. take a look at lax, the staples center and the ferris wheel at the santa monica pier. and the chase center is where cornell bernard talked to fans today. anthony chappelle didn't want to believe the news. he grew up watching nba all-star kobe bryant play amazing basketball. >> kobe was that one person i always had respect for. like no matter what he did or how he played, you respect his game. >> reporter: outside the chase center, warriors fans paid respect to bryant and his 13-year-old daughter gianna who died in a helicopter crash in l.a. >> it's devastating for his family. i'm incredibly sad even though i grew up a warriors fan, i still

respect the guy. >> as an opposing opponent you always hated him. but he was always respectable. you see the greatness in the player that he is. i'm very shocked. >> it's just sad to see someone so talented and so young die. >> reporter: check out kobe bryant back in 2000 playing his first 50-point game against the warriors. he'd go on to have 24 more in his career. >> this time a moment of silence in honor of kobe bryant and his daughter gianna. >> reporter: there was a moment of silence at today's cal stanford game. >> you always see kobe on the tv. he's such a big inspiration to so many people. it's just a gutting loss for everyone. >> i've never been a laker fan, but he was a good man. rest in peace, kobe. >> reporter: in san francisco, abc7 news. >> bryant captivated audiences

on every stage he took. in 2018 he won an oscar for best animated short for "dear basketball" based on his poem, his acceptance speech "fearless and pointed." >> basketball players are really supposed to show up and dribble. but i'm glad that we did a little bit more than that. [ applause ] >> those comments were a reference and controversy between lebron james and fox news host laura ingram. "dear basketball" described his love for the game. in his last interview he described seeing that same love with his daughter gigi. >> that's the first laker game i've been to since i think jersey retirement. i was seeing the game through her eyes. it was her. like, she was having such a good time and the players were coming up and saying hi to her. >> as a father he would say seeing his daughter embrace the game he loved so much was all he wanted.

we have more on kobe's legacy and the tributes to him on our website abc7news.com. you can always read about his beloved family and see a photo gallery of him and his
