我兄弟科比和女兒Gigi遇難，這悲劇，我真的找不到什麼語言表達我內心的傷痛。我愛你，兄弟，我永遠記得你。My condolences goes out to the Bryant family and the families of the other passengers on board. IM SICK RIGHT NOW!!
科比家人，還有遇難者家屬，請節哀。我現在難受死了！！Kobe was a legend on the court and just getting started in what would have been just as meaningful a second act.
作爲籃球場傳奇，科比人生的下半場纔剛剛開啓，本應擁有同樣傑出的另一半人生。To lose Gianna is even more heartbreaking to us as parents. Michelle and I send love and prayers to Vanessa and the entire Bryant family on an unthinkable day.
於我們做父母的而言，失去吉安娜則更令人心碎。此刻，在這個出乎所有人意料的日子裏，米歇爾同我爲瓦妮莎及其他家人誠摯祈禱。Kobe Bryant, despite being one of the truly great basketball players of all time, was just getting started in life.

他深愛着家庭，並憧憬着未來，極具熱情。The loss of his beautiful daughter, Gianna, makes this moment even more devastating…

我的摯友科比走了，一個傳奇、一位丈夫、兒子、兄弟、奧斯卡獲得者、湖人歷史上最偉大的球員，就這樣離開了我們。It's hard to accept. Kobe was a leader of our game, a mentor to both male and female players.
太難接受了。科比是籃球運動的引領者，是所有運動員的導師。Most people will remember Kobe as the magnificent athlete who inspired a whole generation of basketball players.
大多數人會因科比激勵了一代籃球遠動員而將其作爲卓越的運動員銘記在心。But I will always remember him as a man who was much more than an athlete.
而在我看來，他已經超越了籃球，不僅僅是運動員。My heart is broken for Kobe and his family. I'll never forget the battles but what I really admired was the father he was to his girls. Rest In Peace old friend with your angel Gianna.
科比及其家人的遭遇讓我心碎。我將永遠不會忘記與他同場競技的日子，但最讓我敬佩的則是他對待女兒的種種……老夥計，和你的愛女好好安息吧。Neymar dedicated his 2nd goal to the late Kobe Bryant.
