The confirmation of the Mayor of Los Angeles
To confirm the public memorial was the mayor of Los Angeles, Eric Garcetti: “We do not remember only a man who was a basketball player, but who was also a father, leader, a director and an artist, something more than that appreciated on the basketball court. A reminder of how united this city is. We are a city that believes and supports others, that believes in something bigger than us and that would do anything to make such an event something that everyone will be able to see.”
