It's ok to get the waterworks flowing. This is simply perfect.
The sting of Bryant's sudden, tragic passing isn't going to go away anytime soon, nor are the heartwarming tributes to his life and legacy. The Pistons' tribute has to rank at or near the top in terms of uniqueness, scale, and the amount of homage it pays to Bryant's immortal NBA career.
