El ídolo de Hollywood: Celebridades despiden a Kobe Bryant

Gracias a su impecable carrera de 20 años en Los Angeles Lakers, Kobe Bryant se convirtió en una especie de deidad para los actores de Hollywood y algunos de los artistas más famosos de Estados Unidos.

Semana a semana se les podía ver alentando al equipo de básquetbol en las primeras filas del Staples Center, siempre con Bryant como gran figura.

Es por eso que el mundo del espectáculos no tardó en sumarse a las condolencias por el trágico y sorpresivo fallecimiento del legendario deportista. El cantante Bruno Mars definió a Bryant como "un súper héroe de la vida real" y lamentó profundamente su muerte.

Flea, el bajista de Red Hot Chili Peppers, fue más escueto y solo escribió "te amo Kobe".

La actriz Reese Whiterspoon lo definió como "un atleta extraordinario, único en su tipo y un hombre maravilloso", mientras que su colega Whoopi Goldberg destacó la amabilidad del deportista y aseguró que "fue un héroe para muchas personas".

El actor Jamie Foxx, el cantante Justin Bieber, el músico Tom Morello y la cantante Demi Lovato también recordaron al ídolo de los Lakers con fotografías y mensajes.

Incluso la Academia homenajeó a Kobe Bryant con una fotografía suya posando junto al premio Oscar que obtuvo en 2018 por el cortometraje "Dear Basketball".

Kobe was a real life super hero on that court & I’m sure he was one to his family. Sending love and prayers to them. This is heartbreaking.

They doubted a kid could make it in the NBA and he proved them wrong. They doubted he could win a championship and he proved them wrong. They doubted he could make movies and he won an Oscar. Like all great artists, Kobe Bryant proved the doubters wrong. Rest in peace.
