Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna were remembered at a public memorial service Monday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
The date, 2/24/20, was selected because of the special meaning attached: Two was the number budding basketball competitor Gianna wore, 24 for Bryant's famous number and 20 was the number of years Bryant was together with his wife, Vanessa.
On the day of the late Lakers legend's memorial, nearly one month after the helicopter crash in which Bryant, Gianna and seven others were killed, tributes from friends and supporters of the star flooded in.
Kevin Hart shared a heartfelt message on social media, reflecting that he is "still having trouble processing" their losses.
