Many family members, friends, and peers continue to mourn the loss of one of basketball’s most legendary players and his daughter Gianna, as well as the seven other beautiful souls. People have been speaking out and sharing their own personal stories to help honor them. LeBron James, who was close to Kobe throughout the years, broke his silence Monday night as he remembered his brother Kobe.

He said, “I literally just heard your voice Sunday morning before I left Philly to head back to LA. Didn’t think for one bit in a million years that would be the last conversation we’d have. WTF!! I’m heartbroken and devastated my brother!!”

LeBron continued, “Man I love you, big bro. My heart goes to Vanessa and the kids. I promise you I’ll continue your legacy man! You mean so much to us all here especially Laker Nation and it’s my responsibility to put this shit on my back and keep it going!! Please give me the strength from the heavens above and watch over me! I got US here! There’s so much more I want to say but just can’t right now because I can’t get through it! Until we meet again my brother!!”
