Not all acts of kindness go unnoticed, even if it takes years to recognize them.
NBC Sports announcer Mike Tirico shared a kind gesture made by now Celtics player Gordon Hayward in Kobe Bryant’s final NBA game in the wake of the superstar’s tragic death on Sunday.
Tirico, who was calling the game for ESPN, recalled how Hayward, who was then on the Utah Jazz, ensured that Bryant would score 60 points in that game on Monday’s episode of “The Ryen Russillo Podcast”.
“So Kobe hits a jumper from the right elbow off a screen to put the Lakers up,” Tirico said.
