With Kobe's death it was specific though - because Kobe died estranged from his parents. They never approved of his wife Vanessa and they had a huge falling out - even ended up in legal battles of them selling his meromabilia. Paul Pierce seeing that I think saw how horrific an early death was leaving their family "unhealed" and the parents to have to live with that the rest of their lives wanted to make sure he didn't die or have his father die - and have similar regrets.
