Met him once at Rockefeller center in 2003. I had the mpls Kobe Jersey on. Breh signed it for me and said nice touch

In Summer 2001(#2) I was at Magic Mountain and I heard the Buzz around there that Kobe was there... I saw him get off of Goliath just as I was getting on, he was wit Vanessa and he had on a Chamique Holdsclaw Tennesse Jersey(iirc he was rockin them Jerseys Pregame too)

I saw that gif or video clip of him and his daughter at a game. Don't know if it was posted here.

She's laughing and he's being such a pure Father.

Damn it.

I don't respect cheaters and was bothered when he did but here's the thing. He seemed very remorseful. From my understanding he never did it again and built a great family.

If that's the case it can totally be forgiven and I never think that. But it showed he was a human being.

He was pure.

I think this is shocking to the masses cause everyone aspires to greatness. Or in my opinion should. And he had a family.
He was so close to his daughter. That energy is power. That's purity. All these idiots moving sideways, treating people bad, crime, murder can get wrecked.

What Kobe had that energy that originality is inspiring.

I saw it on Worldstar and stared at my screen in disbelief. I felt out of body. When reality just doesn't match. I saw it on tmz, froze and just kept saying what the fukk,what the fukk?

I was out of it for hours.

How did you guys react right when you found out? How did you find out?

I saw it on Facebook and it just seemed so unreal to me. Then it was even more fukked up when it was reported that his daughter was on board.

It literally just happened. They probably didn't even move his body yet. Plus this is how his family and friends are getting the news for the first time. Add to this they won't do this for everybody.

I'm not surprised... This is the "Me Too" era and a lot of people in the media have had an axe to grind against him ever since.
That shyt is already all over social media and it's only gonna get worse in the next few days.
I'm just gonna avoid the media coverage... I already got the info I needed about this tragedy

So You think when people die major parts of their life should be ignored even if they aren't positive? You emotional right now please try to be logical.

Let them be emotional and just dont comment. Whole thread is emotional. I dont know why youre trying to push your shyt on people. Chill

 

[jadillac]

The fact that his daughter died with him is just so...incredibly painful to even think about...

What were their last moments together like? Were they aware of how serious the situation was? Did they see the crash coming? Was she scared? Were they seated next to each other? Was there pain or was it over instantaneously?

I just can't stop thinking about the last moments... It makes me incredibly sad. Depressed, even ..

they were flying almost 200 miles per hr. Hopefully(and I mean this mercifully), they never even saw the mountain bc of the fog. Hopefully it was out of nowhere.

i know we all die and every day younger people die even more tragic deaths but this just stings brehs. I've just been thinking all day since I heard the news how fragile life really is.

We can literally go to bed and not wake up or we wake up like we have done thousands and thousands of times and just go about or regular day not knowing it's the last day for us and it's going to happen to us all, no one escapes death. Money, clothes, how many women you slept with, how many certs stocks, degrees etc. means nothing at the end of the day.

We all make plans that we are going to travel here, do this, save etc. this and that like we are guaranteed tomorrow but nothing nothing at all is guaranteed.

Enjoy life while you can.

Real shyt. I just got off the phone with some friends and family that are close to my heart just to check up on them. Life is not guaranteed at all. Live life while you can.

I’m very sad about this news. Kobe and his beautiful daughter. My heart brehs. I wasn’t a Kobe fan but I respected him as a fierce competitor, father, leader, and a man. We lost a legend. I remember those days in middle school and high school. Some brehs in here know that feeling talking about Kobe. And even saying- “KOBE” whenever we play street ball. He inspired a lot of people

Does Kobe got a statue? If he doesn’t he for sure needs one now.

Gigi should get one too

Why are y'all complaining about them bringing up Colorado? When pac died they brought up his rape case, when Nixon died they brought up Watergate, when bill Clinton dies they will bring up Lewinsky and the impeachment. This was a huge moment in Kobe's life, a turning point for him, his whole attitude changed after colorado.

It depends on how they bring it up. Some people get mad every time but it is a big part of his timeline and usually, it is brought up as a positive - that he had a very public stumble but quickly won the fans and media back.

Agreed. It's a part of his story. This isn't black man specific...it's pretty standard media stuff like it or not.
