It’s been a tough week. While gearing up for the biggest day in football, the world is mourning one of the biggest basketball players of our generation. After learning of the passing of Kobe and Gigi Bryant last Sunday, the world has been in shambles.

The people of New Orleans are known for celebrating the life of the deceased with impromptu secondlines — so you know it went down for the greatest basketballer of our generation and his baby girl. Much love to all who’s hurting; Here’s what’s happening this weekend.
