It’s been nearly a year since Kobe Bryant tragically died in a helicopter crash, and for many of us, it still doesn’t look right.
That includes Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue as well.
To make it easier, Lue took down all the pictures of Kobe Bryant in his house, room, and office. Whatever it can do to make the treatment process easier.
Just seeing pictures or videos of Kobe is hard for Ty Lue. It will bring it all back in a full circle for him, and for many of us too. The very moment you see Kobe’s image, it’s still hard to understand that he’s gone. We’d like to believe he enjoys retiring with family, but sadly, that’s not true.
