The entire sports world was reduced to stunned silence on Sunday with news that Los Angeles Lakers legend and NBA all-time superstar, Kobe Bryant, had died in a helicopter crash.
The 41-year-old Kobe was among several victims in a single-incident crash in Calabasas, California.
Current and former members of the New York Giants reacted to the news via social media.

I normally don’t comment on deaths on twitter because I’m never sure what to say. But man, this Kobe one has me shook up. Grew up in LA and watched every single one of his games. He was my favorite Lakers player. Loved watching him play and his competitive fire.
