There was a moment of silence for Kobe Bryant before the Rockets-Nuggets game at Denver's Pepsi Center, hours after the fatal helicopter crash that killed the NBA legend.
After the moment of silence, the Nuggets crowd started a "Kobe, Kobe!" chant.
The Rockets' P.J. Tucker wrote a tribute to Bryant on his sneakers. One side of his sneakers had the inscription "RIP KB" and "Love you KB24" while the other side said "RIP KB" and "There will never be another."
The 41-year-old Bryant was traveling in a helicopter that crashed and burst into flames in the hills above Calabasas at about 10 a.
