Jeanie Buss says Laker Nation will mourn, cry, heal, love, ‘and win TOGETHER’ - OCRegister

Lakers governor Jeanie Buss made her first statement Thursday morning since the death of Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gigi Bryant and seven others in Sunday’s helicopter crash. On Instagram, Buss praised Kobe and Gigi for helping her find inspiration after the death of her father and longtime Lakers owner, Jerry Buss. Her mother, JoAnn Buss, died in December. Jeanie Buss also pointed in her post to the fund established to help the families, MambaOnThree.org.

Here’s the text of Buss’ post on Instagram:

“Kobe, I don’t know how to express what you mean to me, my family and the Los Angeles Lakers. My father loved you like a son, which makes us family. When you invited me to lunch shortly after my father passed away, I was struggling to find motivation and purpose. Kobe, you brought Gianna with you to spend some time with me. You explained that you wanted to show her that women can be leaders in the NBA, just like the men. At first, it seemed like an action of a devoted father setting an example for his daughter. But in actuality – and I am positively sure you knew EXACTLY what you were doing – what you did was give me the inspiration and strength I was searching for. I reflect on that day often and it makes me smile and it makes me strong. I call on that memory whenever I feel down and need a bit of courage. For everything you did on the court that filled me with so much joy and love, for all the lives you changed through basketball itself, it was that day with Gigi that reignited my drive and determination.

Vanessa, Natalia, Bianka, and Capri – I am so sorry for your loss. We are grateful to have you in our lives and we will always be here for you. To the families that also lost loved ones on Sunday, the entire Laker family mourns with you. Laker Nation – we are one family grieving the loss of people we all loved dearly. We will mourn together, cry together but we will also heal together, love together and win TOGETHER. We love you.:::To learn more about how you can help the families affected by this tragedy go to MambaOnThree.org and to further Kobe and Gianna’s legacy in youth sports visit MambaSportsFoundation.org #peace #love #joy #family #Mamba #Mambacita #2 #8 #24 ::Picture taken in February 2016 on the way to #NBAAllStar game in #Toronto”
