Adam, a 5-year-old student from the University of Southern California, New York, moved to the arena from Jackman University.
"The whole place is frozen," Rivas said. "He sucked the air out of the room. I can't believe I grew up with Kobe. He's my favorite player of all time."
What are the reactions?
Everyone, from current and former NBA players to former President Barack Obama, all mourned
the death of Bryant.
In front of the Staples Center in Los Angeles - where the Grammy Awards took place - hundreds of fans lined up around Bryant's shirts, photos, and candles. Many wore Bryant's shirts. Pumping with fists, some yelled "MVP". They felt sad for "Bryant" and "gigi" daughter.

Bryant was charged in 2003 with sexually abusing a 19-year-old woman working at a Colorado facility. He denied the allegations, saying they both had sex without permission. The case was closed after the prosecution refused to testify in court.
