It’s been a busy, yet bittersweet week in the sports world.
Sunday marks one week since the sudden death of Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna. They were among the nine people killed in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, Calif., which currently remains under investigation.
While many fans continue to mourn, the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs have been gearing up for Super Bowl LIV. Much of the festivities have been somewhat overshadowed by the Bryants’ deaths, though athletes across the country have found endless ways to honor the late Los Angeles Lakers legend.
Niners cornerback Richard Sherman is the latest athlete to pay tribute to Bryant, wearing one of his Bryant’s No. 8 jerseys to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami ahead of the big game.
