Their sweatpants read, “Kobe and Gigi Forever,’ while their sweatshirts featured graffiti style portraits of the deceased pair.
Before the start of the game, the arena honored Kobe and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, who lost their lives in a devastating helicopter crash that killed a total of nine people.
