According to what I've seen, it was the Lakers that asked for it to be postponed and the Clippers didn't object. I can only imagine how people on that team and in the organization are feeling. Jennie Buss and Kobe were very very close as were Kobe and Rob Palinka. Notice too that the Lakers have yet to release a statement about Kobe's passing. I can only imagine how people with that team are handling all of this.

Reddit is speculating that the Thurs after the ASB is the best open spot for both teams. Not sure if there's any scheduling conflict for the arena.

The best time to do it IMO would be just to put it on a back to back with their last meeting of the regular season which I think is in march.

The Ringer NBA podcast about this is so awful.
Two journalists talking for 40 minutes about how Kobe was a bad teammate and ruined the Lakers. Like, is now the time?

If the Clippers/Lakers game gets rescheduled for Feb. 20, either the LA Kings NHL game is moved to late morning/early afternoon or the Kings game has to be played in Anaheim

Have no clue why people want to focus on negatives when that man just died a tragic death with his daughter and other individuals There is a time and place. Even f***ing Smush Parker wouldn't talk bad about Kobe right now

Even f***ing Smush Parker wouldn't talk bad about Kobe right now I have no idea. I listened thinking it’d be fan style reminiscing. But instead it’s one guy going “I wrote an article about how Kobe wasn’t as good in close game scenarios as you think.”

The Ringer's podcasts are sneakily awful, filled with smug clowns who are only impressed by the most recent thing they saw, which turns out to also be the greatest thing they ever saw.

Who were the people doing this? I know the Ringer is Bill Simmons' outfit so I wonder if he was one of them.

He published a podcast last night with Chris Ryan that was a genuinely heartfelt retrospective on Kobe Bryant's career, what he meant to the league, and what he means to the future of the NBA. Judging by The Ringer's website, the most recent NBA Show podcast discussing Kobe Bryant was hosted by Justin Verrier and Rob Mahoney.

I'm wondering why is Roy Hibbert trending, and it's because ESPN is showing Kobe Bryant's final NBA game ever.
Also, the Lakers social media finally posted something today, which I know was difficult for them.

Wow. The Kings came back from 20+ down in the fourth quarter and won in OT.
