A heartbreaking photo on Sunday showed dozens of young athletes kneeling on a basketball court in tribute to Kobe Bryant, at the hoops star’s Mamba Sports Academy in California.

The emotional image, posted on Twitter by @_nightingaleee, shows grief-stricken basketball players in jerseys and others kneeling or sitting on the court, many with their heads bowed.

“The kids who were waiting for Kobe and Gigi in Mamba Academy. 💔,” wrote @_nightingaleee.

The legendary NBA player and his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, had reportedly been on their way to a planned basketball game at the athletic facility in Thousand Oaks when their chopper crashed, killing them and seven other people on board.

Gianna was expected to play in the game, part of a tournament in the Mamba Cup Series, with Bryant acting as coach, Lady Mavericks team director Evelyn Morales told CNN.

All games that had been scheduled to take place at the training center Sunday reportedly were canceled in the aftermath of the tragic crash.

The retired Los Angeles Lakers star — who gave himself the nickname “Black Mamba” — co-founded the training facility for professional and amateur athletes in 2018.

For the last two years, Bryant, 41, had coached Gianna’s Amateur Athletic Union basketball team at the facility, according to a USA Today article on the academy published last week.
