NFL Honors Kobe Bryant<br />During Super Bowl LIV The Kansas City Chiefs and the<br />San Francisco 49ers paid tribute<br />to Kobe during the Super Bowl<br />pregame ceremony. Kobe and his daughter, Gianna, were tragically killed<br />along with seven others in a helicopter crash on Jan. 26. Before kickoff, both teams stood on their respective<br />24-yard lines and held a moment of silence. The move was a nod to Kobe, as he famously<br />wore the number 24 during his NBA career. Shakira and Jennifer Lopez<br />also paid tribute to Kobe<br />during the halftime show. During a stripped-down version of Lopez's "Let's Get Loud,"<br />a giant purple and yellow cross was illuminated on the field,<br />the colors of Kobe's longtime team, the Los Angeles Lakers. A number of players also made personal<br />tributes to Kobe during pregame warmups. 49ers wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders sported<br />a pair of cleats with Kobe's numbers, 8 and 24,<br />along with the words, “Rest In Peace.” Chiefs Wide Receiver Demarcus Robinson also<br />repped Kobe with a custom pair of cleats, bearing<br />his numbers and the Laker's colors.
