Basketball legend Micheal Jordan

Jordan pays tribute to Bryant

Thousands packed into the home of the Los Angeles Lakers to pay their respects to Bryant and his daughter Gianna, who were tragically killed in a helicopter crash last month.

Vanessa Bryant referred to Kobe, who passed away aged 41, as "the perfect husband" and said her 13-year-old daughter Gianna "would have most likely become the best player in the WNBA".

Shaquille O'Neal also gave a poignant speech, while there were performances from Christina Aguilera and Alicia Keys before the legendary Jordan had the likes of Stephen Curry on their feet with a touching tribute.
