Memories of Kobe still fresh for Kidd two years later, plus Luka’s neck update

As hard as it is to believe, Wednesday will be the two-year anniversary of Kobe Bryant’s death.

Time truly does fly, as Jason Kidd said before Sunday’s game against Memphis. Especially when the two years since then have changed virtually every aspect of life.

Just about everybody associated with the NBA can remember where they were on Jan. 26, 2020, when Bryant and his daughter, Gigi, died in a helicopter accident.

For Kidd, it will always bring back a flood of memories. He was an assistant coach under Frank Vogel in that season that would be suspended six weeks later because of the COVID-19 outbreak.
