The Los Angeles Lakers, reeling from the death of team icon Kobe Bryant, “want to represent what Kobe was about” as they press ahead with the NBA season, coach Frank Vogel said Wednesday. The chopper was headed to Bryant’s Mamba Sports Academy in Thousand Oaks, where his daughter was set to play a basketball game. When the team convened on Tuesday, Vogel said, they “did some things that we thought would be therapeutically beneficial. “There are some questions I’m just not ready to answer,” said the coach, who had to ensure that every team member had been informed of Bryant’s death. On Tuesday, Bryant, pilot Ara Zobayan, baseball coach John Altobelli and Sarah Chester were identified using fingerprints.
