First off, it was good to see both the Cleveland Cavaliers and Detroit Pistons teams start their game off on Monday paying tribute to NBA legend/icon for the Los Angeles Lakers, Kobe Bryant, who tragically passed away.
Bryant, his daughter, Gianna, who was just 13, and unfortunately seven others reportedly passed away entirely too soon in a helicopter crash on Sunday in Calabasas, California.
The Cavs and Pistons have done what teams league-wide have done since to start the game in taking a 24 second shot clock violation and eight second shot clock violation, the two numbers Bryant wore during his illustrious career.
