'Hard to keep going' as injured Durant mourns for Kobe

Injured NBA superstar Kevin Durant of the Brooklyn Nets says it's "hard to keep going right now" as he mourns the death of Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant.

Bryant died Sunday at age 41 in a helicopter crash near Los Angeles, sending devastated NBA players and fans into grieving the loss of one of the game's most iconic superstars.

"It's hard to keep going right now," Durant said. "But as a basketball community, as a world as a whole, I know we're all just mourning and sticking together when it comes to this."
"It's still hard to process this," Durant said. "It's a tragedy. It has made so many people in the world so sad."
Asked how best to pay tribute to five-time NBA champion and 18-time NBA All-Star Bryant, Durant said that would mean "every basketball player go out there and play as hard as they can every night."
But Durant admitted: "It feels like nothing will ever be big enough to truly honor Kobe Bryant."
"As a competitor you hated playing against him. As a person you loved being around him."
