I didn't have to cover Kobe Bryant to understand what he meant. I covered Buddy Hield and other college athletes who were deeply impacted. https://t.co/vpOhI2CB2C

Never met a bigger Kobe fan than @buddyhield. If you knew Buddy when he was at OU, you know Kobe was his idol. Buddy COULD NOT WAIT to meet him after Sweet 16 win over A&M in ‘16, and scored 37 vs. Oregon two days later with Kobe in stands again. Really nice moment here. #RIPKobe pic.twitter.com/sDnc7nOtLH
