Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry spoke to TNT's Allie LaForce on Thursday to discuss the tragic death of Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant.

Curry, like the entire NBA community, is hurting at the moment:

Bryant tragically passed away on Sunday in a terrible helicopter crash. Eight other people died in the crash, including Kobe’s 13-year-old daughter Gianna.

Everyone needs to keep Vanessa and Kobe’s surviving daughters in their prayers right now. It’s impossible to understand what the Bryant family is going through.

In 1,346 career games for the Lakers, Bryant cemented himself as an all-time great. Coming straight to the NBA from high school is no easy move, but Bryant finished his illustrious NBA career with averages of 25.0 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game.

The Lakers’ game against the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday was postponed. The Purple and Gold are back in action on Friday when they host the Portland Trail Blazers. It will surely be an emotional night in the stadium that Bryant essentially owned when he was a superstar for the Lakers during his playing days.

LA has the best record in the Western Conference. Nothing would make this season more special than to see LeBron James and Anthony Davis lead the franchise to banner No. 17 for Kobe.

The Lakers retired Kobe Bryant’s No. 8 and 24 jerseys last year. He will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer as part of an incredible class when inductees are announced later this year.
