The Los Angeles Lakers paid tribute to Kobe Bryant during the team's first game since the NBA legend died in a helicopter crash

During the memorial, renowned cellist Ben Hong played at center court as a video of the basketball legend appeared on the scoreboard. Here's what Bryant said:

The joy of the game comes from just being out there and just playing. The competitive side of me thinks we can win every game that we play.Do you love the process? That gets you to that. Those boring, agonizing moments. If you love that, then you know you found something that's really true to you. It's not about my jerseys that are hanging up there for me. It's about the jerseys that were hanging up there before.

I'm here to show people that we can do much more than that. Winning an Oscar, winning an Emmy and an Annie, those are things that are showing other athletes that come after, no, no, there's more to this thing. And being married to my wife, Vanessa, is, it's fun. We have a good time together. I love her tremendously. But we're best friends too. It's a blessing. And when we're raising our daughters one of the things we choose to do is you just got to try your best and you just got to give it your all. Give it everything you have.
