tears, we plan to bring Kobe home in a way that shows our deep love
and admiration.” – Marc Lamont Hill “I watched Kobe as a journalist
and fan for years, before I got to know him on a personal level. He

student, a better friend, a better teammate, a better husband and a
better father.” – Jemele Hill

“I am grateful that the BET family had the opportunity to give
Kobe his flowers while he was still with us, and we will continue
to do so, as his legacy very greatly impacted ours,” said Scott
Mills, President, BET Networks. “From recognizing his tenth
consecutive NBA All-Star championship on 106th & Park in 2008
to presenting him with the BET Humanitarian Award in 2002 and
learning about what shapes his #MambaMentality during Genius Talks
at BET Experience 2015, I’m so glad we were and continue to be able
to celebrate him as the leader and legend he was to us all. Our
prayers are with the Bryant family during this difficult time.”
