Bryant was killed in a helicopter crash outside Los Angeles on January 26 at the age of 41. Sadly, all nine passengers on the flight, including his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, perished in the accident. In the days that have followed, players and fans alike have found ways to show their respects.

Kyrie Irving shared a close bond with Kobe. Like Dinwiddie, Irving took the news Bryant's passing hard. In fact, uncle Drew was seen crying during a video tribute to the Lakers legend.
Dinwiddie is enjoying a nice season with the Nets, who are currently holding a 23-27 overall record. In his 50 appearances (35 starts), the 26-year-old has racked up averages of 21.0 points on 41.9 percent shooting from the field (31.6 percent from beyond the arc), 6.4 assists and 3.3 rebounds. For the record, his 21.0 points per game are a career-high.
Dinwiddie and the Nets will be back in action on Saturday, when they'll face off against the Toronto Raptors. Tip-off inside Scotiabank Arena is set for 7:30 p.m. ET.
