Kobe Bryant recently spoke to podcast allthesmoke about taking his daughter Gianna to a Laker game: 'For the first time I was seeing the game through her eyes,' he said
2 scrapped its regular schedule to present news about the crash and tributes to the famed Los Angeles Laker who retired after 20 seasons in the NBA in 2016.
Bryant’s death came just hours before the music industry gathers in downtown Los Angeles for the annual Grammy Awards, making it almost certain that the live telecast on CBS will include at least a moment of tribute to the Laker legend. The Denver Nuggets NBA team held a moment of silence during its regularly scheduled Sunday afternoon game against the Houston Rockets.
After his retirement, Bryant leaned in to TV, films, documentaries, books and other media in a way that kept him relevant in sports and pop culture overall. He was part of the team that won an Academy Award in 2018 for animated short film for “Dear Basketball,” based on the letter he wrote in 2015 announcing his retirement from the league. He was also sought after for endorsement deals.
In Los Angeles, it took some time for local stations to break into regularly scheduled programming, but eventually KCBS, KNBC, KABC, KTLA, KCAL and KTTV all went to live, commercial-free local news coverage. That meant KABC pre-empted ABC coverage of the Pro Bowl, while KNBC shelved NBC’s telecast of U.S. Figure Skating championships, and KCBS broke into coverage of PGA Golf.
In one of Bryant’s final interviews, he spoke with great enthusiasm and fatherly pride to the Showtime podcast “All the Smoke” earlier this month about Gianna’s interest in basketball, which led him to begin coaching her team. “It’s fun,” he said.
