Kobe Bryant and former NBA star Stephon Marbury meet for potentially the last time. I’m unable to confirm whether or not it is in fact the very last time seeing each other in person.

Excerpt from ‘Remembering Kobe Bryant on 3rd Anniversary of Crash That Also Killed His Daughter, Gianna, and 7 Others’ article by Jason Hahn:
During a foggy California morning on Jan. 26, 2020, Kobe, 13-year-old Gianna, and six of their friends boarded a Sikorsky S-76B helicopter flown by pilot Ara Zobayan. The group was flying from John Wayne Airport in Orange County to a basketball tournament at Kobe's Mamba Sports Academy in Thousand Oaks. But they never arrived.
Zobayan, the Bryants, and their friends — John Altobelli, Keri Altobelli, Alyssa Altobelli, Sarah Chester, Payton Chester, and Christina Mauser — all perished when the helicopter crashed on a hillside in Calabasas, just 14 miles away from their Thousand Oaks destination.
At the time, Kobe was four years into retirement after winning five championships with the Los Angeles Lakers over a 20-year NBA career.
A year-long National Transportation Safety Board investigation later found that pilot error was the most consequential reason for the accident that morning.
