“I received a call about six weeks ago for my eighth-grade team from Drive Nation to come to LA and to play in a tournament, which Kobe called The Mamba Cup,” Terry said while on the Fox Sports Southwest broadcast ahead of the Mavericks’ Monday game against the Thunder. “We were to play them Sunday, yesterday at noon. “The news broke at about 11 a.m., I was on my way to the gym with my team. I parked out front. The games were still going on. I received a message from my wife who was in the gym already taking her seat as we prepared to go and play against Kobe and his daughter’s team. Just the feeling walking in that gym, I was totally numb. I ran up to the first official I could see and I told them ‘look, there’s no more basketball. We cannot play another game today, Kobe has passed away.”
