The tragic death of Kobe Bryant, who along with his 13-year daughter Gianna was one of nine victims in a horrific helicopter crash in California today, touched the lives of so many in the world. Among those who are feeling the pain of losing the NBA and Los Angeles Lakers legend are Steelers players, who shared their emotions on social media.
I just met Kobe last wednesday, was in his office talking about our books and how everyday in life is a grind. I don’t believe this.

I told Kobe I’m tryna be legendary like him he simply said, “just grind, just grind everyday.” Truly thankful I was able to hear that from him days before he passed. I gotta go harder. And if I tell you I love you I mean it... 🤞🏽

This is my first one. This the first celebrity death that hit me. I apologize for my ignorance before this. I greatly unestimated the power of entertainment, it’s reach, and it’s influence. I learned a lesson today and it sucks. RIP Kobe Bryant

When people like Kobe and Nipsey Hussle are taken away so early in their lives, we don’t get to see what else they would go on to accomplish in life

Successful adults like those two are similar to kids... They want more. They have more dreams!
Stuff like that makes me so so sad
