MIAMI—Even at the Super Bowl, they mourned Kobe Bryant. San Francisco’s Richard Sherman showed up for the Super Bowl in a Bryant jersey, the start of numerous honours dedicated to the basketball legend on football’s biggest day. Some fans at the game wore Lakers jerseys, and a few even had Bryant’s Lower Merion High School jersey. But because YOU called me,” Sherman read, copying Bryant’s words exactly in that particular passage. On Saturday night, Matt Dumba of the Minnesota Wild skated in a 24 jersey — another way of paying homage to Bryant.
