Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant would have turned 44 last Tuesday, and on that day, the widow of former Utah Jazz center Mark Eaton made a post on LinkedIn recognizing it.
“Happy heavenly birthday dear Kobe,” Teri Eaton wrote. “I hope you and (Mark Eaton) are up there sharing more laughs.”
She added #legacy, #makeadifference and #giveyourall.
Included in the post were four photos of Bryant and Eaton taken at Vivint Arena.
Bryant died in a helicopter crash on Jan. 26, 2020 in California at age 41, while Eaton died on May 28, 2021 while riding his bicycle in Utah at age 64.
