JUPITER, FL. — His best friend woke him from his dreams to begin the nightmare.
“It still doesn’t quite feel real,” Jack Flaherty told the Post-Dispatch.
On the morning of Jan. 26, Flaherty was in bed in LA. His best friend was staying with him and told Jack the news — Kobe Bryant was dead.
“And I didn’t believe him,” the Cardinals ace Flaherty said. “So I called somebody I knew would have an answer. And she told me. It was probably the only time my best friend and I didn’t have anything to say to each other.
