Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr believes the tragic death of Kobe Bryant is the ‘saddest day’ in NBA history.

For Kerr, two other tragic events had a similar impact on the league, namely when LA Lakers icon Magic Johnson announced he had HIV as well as the death of Drazen Petrovic in a car crash in 1993.

Bryant and his daughter Gianna died in a helicopter crash in California on Sunday.
