News that NBA superstar Kobe Bryant died in a helicopter in California on Sunday was made more tragic by what came next -- confirmation that his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, also was onboard.

The San Antonio Spurs and the Toronto Raptors each took a 24 second violation to honor Kobe Bryant, meaning each team held the ball for the entirety of the shot clock without attempting a basket. Kobe Bryant wore #24 towards the second half of his career.

Kobe Bryant's legacy extends beyond his time on the basketball court. He was also known to the business world as a brand-builder; an investor; and a coach to other athletes and company founders.

A moment of silence was held in Kobe Bryant's honor at the Denver Nuggets game, just hours after Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter were killed in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California.
