Athletes and fans alike have been sharing their memories and stories of Kobe Bryant after the tragic passing of him and his daughter Gianna. Whether you played for him, played against him, or watched him from home, it was an extremely emotional day as we all mourn the loss of a legend.

Dwyane Wade was one of many to send out his thoughts.

 

Wade later took to Instagram to give a full farewell to Kobe. Fighting through tears, Wade outlined what made Kobe Bryant so special to him.

Although Wade never played on the same team as Kobe, they clearly developed a strong relationship. The outpouring of memories for Kobe, and support for his family has been extremely touching. Through all of that, it’s still hard to believe that we’ve lost a legend.
