The entire world is grieving the loss of one of the best basketball players to ever live. Kobe Bryant and his 13-year old daughter were a part of a tragic helicopter crash that took the lives of them and seven other individuals. All gone too soon.
We’ve heard from former and current NBA players and greats, other stars in other sports across the world, and media personalities galore. Each paying tribute and remembering the life of Bryant. There’s even a whole host of Buckeye personalities that shared their thoughts.
One of those greats is Ohio State All-American Jim Jackson. He played and competed not only against Kobe during his career in the NBA, but also played alongside him for a short time as his final stop in a long, fourteen-year career during the 2005-2006 season.
Jackson took some time to share his thoughts on Bryant both on and off the court when speaking during a game he was announcing on BTN. You can listen to his comments in the below Tweet shared to the official Twitter feed of the Big Ten Network.
Rest in Peace Kobe. The whole world will miss seeing you flash that smile.
