Quote: | ROME (AP) -- In the country where he grew up, Kobe Bryant will be mourned for an entire week.
The Italian basketball federation said Monday it has ordered a minute’s silence to be observed for all games “in every category for the entire week.”
“It’s a small but heartfelt and deserved gesture to honor the life and memory of Kobe Bryant, an absolute champion who always had Italy in his heart,” the federation said. “Kobe was and will always be linked to our country.”
Bryant lived in Italy between the ages of 6 and 13 while his father, Joe Bryant, played for several teams in the country. He returned to Pennsylvania for high school. |

I forgot about Italy. Biggest impacts that first came to mind were America and China. _________________ Don't make me give you a trout slap! |
