Scoring 60 points in his last game. And then winning five NBA championships.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut what I\u2019m really proud about when we think about Kobe Bryant, there\u2019s millions of people in Los Angeles that don\u2019t have a home. Kobe was fighting to get them homes and shelter every single day. He was passionate about that. He was also passionate about being a great father, husband, filmmaker. Young man won an Oscar. So we all are hurting. This is a tough time for the whole NBA family.\u201d<br \/>\nJohnson led the crowd \u2014 which chanted \u201cKobe!
