Kobe and Gigi Bryant Memorial Thread (RIP)

[the cac mamba]

Outside of maybe two particular soccer players, I don't think there is a current or recent former athlete whose passing will be as impact as this one.

probably what, like 95% of the current NBA either was close with him personally or idolized him growing up

gonna be a tough month

Kobes passing may change the culture of the board

We need to build each other up and respect each other more. A light joke here and there is fine but we attack each other too often instead of having a respectful discussion.



RIP Charmander
RIP Kobe

Both were lost too soon. Any day could be our last

AND SPORTS TALK IN GENERAL

I hope so but I doubt it

People go through near death experiences and a week later go back to same old bad habits or being a$$holes. It's just human nature unfortunately

Kobe checking in on Reef this morning. It was probably after he heard the news that young Reef is leaving UCLA.

Damn Kobe was already dead

 

[SheWantTheD]

This is too fukking much

Yes, and I feel weird discussing this so soon, but when all is said and done MJ was much more of a figure to America and the world really, than Kobe. Even if his was less shocking, nothing will touch how his death impacted the world. Only one who can ever rival it in this day and age is if an active President is killed.

I remember people actually were killing themselves when MJ died.

I'm not comparing deaths or impacts or stupid shyt.


I just thought that was insane how much it hurt people

Roberto Clemente also died in an aviation accident relatively young as well.

Trae Young just hit a halfcourt buzzer beater to end the first half in ATL

I don't know what to say, still in shock been crying in random parts all day today.

I've never had a player that I spent my childhood idolizing pass away.

I'm not ready yet to live in a world that we remember Kobe as a person who once lived and in a past tense

 

[MikelArteta]

Roberto Clemente also died in an aviation accident relatively young as well.

[Leavingtheecstasy]
