Kobe tributes include Brazilian Sixers guard's big game

Kobe Bryant's hometown NBA club, the Philadelphia 76ers, paid tribute to the Los Angeles Lakers legend Tuesday while heartbroken players tried to cope with the five-time NBA champion's death.

Bryant died Sunday at age 41 in a helicopter crash along with eight other people, including his daughter Gigi, devastating players and fans worldwide.

"It has been really hard to play, really hard to focus," said Boston playmaker Gordon Hayward. "He meant so much to us in the league and across basketball.

"Words can't describe how I think we all feel. It's a tragedy."
"He stopped the Earth for a day. No one moved. No one did anything. That was how it felt."
- 'Enjoy every day' -
=====================
"That's what I'll take from that game. The 60 points, he basically did that by himself. He just went off. He was amazing."
"That got me focused on the game."
"It's a lot to take in sometimes. I feel like people forget that."
