Did he have any tie whatsoever to the Habs, or are they just trying to make money off Kobe's death?

Based on the tweet I thought they weren't actually selling Kobe/Gigi jerseys, they just hung a couple in the shop as a tribute Still weird as hell to do that though, they're a loving ice hockey team in loving Quebec

In honor of Kobe Bryant I feel that we should retire basketball forever. To do anything less would be dishonoring the life of Kobe.

When the Lakers I've watched literally more than 1000 games played by Kobe. I've watched him make amazing game winning plays and watched him shoot the team out of games. The stereotypical Kobe game was to shoot like poo poo for 3 and then catch fire in the fourth to win the game. With absolutely zero statistical backing, I feel like he shot much, much better in the 4th quarter than the rest of the game. He had a game straight out of the ugly 90s, everyone else would clear out and Kobe would isolate. Mid-range, fade-away jumpers. High-post, turnaround jumpers. Dunking on motherfuckers. Missing a shitload of threes. Scoring 81 points. Not loving shooting against the Suns (  ). The entire 2004 season. Fueling the comeback against the Blazers in 2000 (I've never heard my dad use as much profanity as during the first 3 quarters of that game). The Kobe experience.I was lucky enough to see a lot of Lakers games in person and almost all of those were with my dad. Because as much as these are memories about watching Kobe, they're also stories about spending time with my family. Sports, and the Lakers specifically, were things that my dad and I really bonded over and Kobe was at the center of that for 20 years. But I want to call out my 2 favorite Kobe games of all time. I'm not sure if either of these would be on most people's lists, but these are special to me. Lakers vs Blazers, March 16, 2007 https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/200703160LAL.html This was the highest scoring Kobe game I ever saw in person. Coming into this game, the Lakers had lost 7 straight games and looked like they were in danger of missing the playoffs with the teams behind them starting to make a run. This was a very bad team, the second leading scorer was Lamar Odom at 16ppg followed by Luke Walton at 11 (this was the year with that weird synthetic ball and it magically turned Luke Walton into Ray Allen. They switched back to the normal ball in Janurary and Luke fell back to earth. He also missed this game). The Blazers had emerging stars Brandon Roy and Lamarcus Aldridge, as well as a pre-grindhouse Zach Randolph. It was a back and forth game the whole way and Kobe was doing his normal thing, carrying the Lakers. At halftime, Kobe had 23 of the Lakers 46 points after catching fire in the 2nd quarter and putting 19 points. In the 3rd quarter, the other Lakers started to contribute a bit more, outscoring Kobe 13 to 9. Through all of this, the game was close and was tied after 3 quarters and was still tied at 70 when Kobe checked back into the game with 10 minutes left in the fourth. As soon as he checked in, he started raining in the baskets. He would score 24 of the Lakers 30 points that quarter, shooting 9/11 and 4/4 on 3s. He hit 3 3s in the last 100 seconds to bring the Lakers back from down 7 to send the game to OT. He had scored 56 points in regulation on 57% shooting. In overtime, his domination continued, and he put up another 9 points to secure the victory, including an incredibly clutch 3 to give the Lakers the lead for good. I want to call out my two major memories of this game. The first one (at 2:20) was him stealing the ball and draining a 65 footer that got waived off becuase he was fouled and refs considered it excessive to give continuation on the shot (though it totally was  ). The other (at 7:35) was deep in overtime, and he hits this spinning fade away 3 with Lamarcus hand in his face to take the lead.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NH_0a0x6so This game was the first of Kobe's streak of 4 consecutive 50+ point games, starting with scoring 65 against the Blazers, followed by 50 against the Wolves, 60 against Memphis, and then another 50 against the wandering Hornets. Lakers vs Suns, April 30, 2006, Game 4 of their first round series https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/200604300LAL.html I don't think I can overstate the importance of this playoff series and this game in my time watching sports. This was the year that I truly became the basketball addicted person that haunts the halls of SAS, as well as many shittier message boards prior to this one. This was the year that Kobe took a band of misfits and astonishingly lovely players and dragged those assholes to the playoffs, and nearly won a series against the 2 time MVP Steve Nash and the bewildering juggernaut that was the Suns in that era. The Suns were filled to the brim with talent. They shouldn't have been, but they somehow were. After their run in 2005 which completely revolutionized the modern NBA by introducing concepts like running a loving fastbreak, shooting 3s, and running a high P&R, Sarver proceeded to do his thing and let 2 starters (Joe Johnson and Q-Rich) leave in free-agency rather than actually spend a loving dime to keep the team good. But it was OK, because they still had all world talent Amar'e Stoudemire to serve as the second focal point of the team. Right until his knees started to hurt and they did the medival torture that we call micro-fracture surgery, an operation that has completely fallen out of favor due to keeping players out for over a year and not actually fixing poo poo. But they did have this weird, fat french dude (Boris Diaw) who had previously been making GBS threads it up in Atlanta. Oh, and some defensive dude who had bounced around the league for a while (Raja Bell). Oh, and Shawn Marion was also there and he was cool. They proceeded to win 54 games by not trying to score against a set defense every possession. This Lakers team, on the other hand, was loving awful, the 2nd leading scorer was LO at 15ppg, followed up by Smush Parker and the corpse of Chris Mihm (who by this point had already suffered the ankle injury that ended his career and was described by the surgeon as something out of a car crash). It also featured former #1 overall pick Kwame Brown, first as the starting PF (which should tell you anything you need to know about how loving awful it was to watch basketball in the mid 2000s and how the concept of a stretch 4 was heresy and a stretch 5 was an unholy abomination sent from depths of the USSR). Kobe had the highest scoring season in 20 years, highlighted with 81 against the Raptors and 62 in 3 quarters against the finals bound Mavs. This was a weird game. For one thing, Kobe wasn't actually the Lakers leading scorer that night, Odom was. They would combine for 49 of the Lakers 99 points that night. But I think this undersells how weird this series was because the Lakers, the 7 seed that barely made the playoffs, were up 2 games to 1 coming into this game. They had managed to steal game 2 in Phoenix and then held on to win game 3 at home. They were playing this weird gimmick defense that was trying to make Nash beat them by scoring, rather than letting him set-up his teammates in order to wreck their rhythms. But back to game 4, like I said, it was a weird game. In the first half, Kobe got into foul trouble quickly. He only played 9 minutes in the entire half, and only 45 seconds of the 2nd quarter before he picked up his 3rd foul and had to sit. Somehow though, the game was tied behind solid play from Lamar and Brian Cook actually hitting some shots for once in his life. Not having a good game were Smush Parker and Kwame Brown, combining to go 2/11. I'm just gonna skip ahead to why I actually care about this game so much. Well the game was close for pretty much the entire 4th quarter when the Lakers managed to blow it at the end. With 12 seconds left, the Lakers are down by 4 and send Boris Diaw to the FT line to ice the game. My dad, seeing the inevitable, wants to leave to beat the traffic (typical Lakers fan, still traumatized by the old parking lots at the Forum). In some more significantly more polite words, I tell him to gently caress off and I'm gonna watch the game until the clock hits zero. So he goes off to the bathroom and tells me which exit I should meet him at once the game is over. Boris Diaw makes 1 of 2 FTs and the Lakers advance the ball. Lakers inbound the ball and the play breaks down, and because he somehow his cold shooting rear end decided it was a good idea, Smush Parker hits a contested 3 with 8 seconds left, making it a 2 point game. My dad sheepishly returns to his seat. Suns call a TO to advance the ball to halfcourt. Lakers defend the inbound play well and send the Suns scrambling, Nash comes to the inbounder but loses his balance and Smush manages to steal the ball, passes it ahead to Devean Geroge who proceeds to make the only high IQ play of his career and passes it to Kobe. Who proceeds to make a well defended, rainbow layup over 2 defenders as he falls out of bounds and sends the game to OT. I mercilessly taunt my dad for giving up on the game with time left on the clock. In overtime, the game stays close and with 15 seconds left, the Lakers get the ball back down 3 after Steve Nash 3. Kobe proceeds to drive and spin past Raja Bell for a tough layup, bringing the game within 1. The ball gets inbounded to Nash and after a scramble to steal the ball or foul him, he again gets trapped by the half-court line and ends up getting in a jump ball with Luke Walton. 6.1 on the clock, Nash is indignant that he totally called a TO that no one ever saw. Well, Luke wins the tip and Kobe tracks down the ball. He comes down the court with time running out, and runs into the teeth of the defense. He shoots a FT line jumper over 2 defenders that goes in as time expires. Ball game We all lose our poo poo, we just saw Kobe hit 2 buzzerbeaters in 10 minutes, we're up 3-1 over the loving 2 seed and everyone in 2006 could tell you that no team would ever blow a 3-1 lead. The Lakers are going to 2nd round for our first ever playoff matchup against the Clippers who we had dominated during the regular season. It'll be any easy series and then it'll probably be the Mavs or the Jazz, both of whom Kobe had done great against. Holy poo poo, the Lakers might be going back to the finals. The Lakers blew a 3-1 lead The important poo poo starts at 7 minutes in, just watch the whole thing from that point on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Egtk-29hqwU

It's an airball, the shot clock runs out. Kobe shoots a nasty look to the coach, Galileo. He cant play with these losers. On the way down the court, he injures himself.
