'Kobe' crowd chant touches Jordan's Hollis-Jefferson

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson says it means a lot to him to have drawn 'Kobe, Kobe' chants from the Mall of Asia Arena crowd as he poured 39 points in Jordan's 87-95 loss to New Zealand. Kobe was the late Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers who died in a helicopter crash in 2020, along with daughter Gianna, and seven others. Like Hollis-Jefferson, Bryant was a prolific scorer who earned five NBA championship rings.
