It's going to be tough for a lot of these guys playing today. Many will be playing with a very heavy heart that their childhood idol is dead. I am sure Ball, Ingram and Hart had to have met and interacted with Kobe while they where in LA. Tatum trained with Kobe over a summer. Guys(Moore, Holiday, Favors, Kanter, Kemba, Smart) on both sides played against him.
Might be a rough night for the NBA. I expect to see lots of tears across the league tonight.
