It took me a while before it actually settled in my spirit that Kobe really died.

Although I've been hurt by certain celebrity deaths, today is the first time I've ever shed tears.

Didn't really get to grow up to see jordan play like that in his prime, but I did for Kobe from kid to adult.

The man is the embodiment of what a competitor should be & was a family man at heart.

Always admired his determination & dedication to whatever he felt was his purpose on this planet.

The man meant so much more to the world & albeit I never met him I'm glad to say he's had a lasting impact on me.

RIP to Kobe and Gigi and the rest of the families in the helicopter.

Pac was murdered, Nixon died an old ass man. Kobe’s death came sudden and the fact his daughter also died, I would think they could wait a few days before bringing all that shyt up. Everyone knows what he was accused of, it’s not a secret.

They could wait 20 years and you wouldn't want it brought up.

The ones who wanna lead off with it as if that's the highlight of his life though, you know how they're approaching it and should be totally ignored. If the first thing that comes to your mind is that he got caught up in that case, you're not exactly looking to remember him fondly.

Incredibly sad. I am still in disbelief.

May all who passed away today, Rest In Peace.

Me posting on page 81 is fitting i believe. I havent this way about a celebs death in maybe ever. One of the baddest men to ever grace a basketball court is truly not here among us right now. And bruh didn't even get a chance to join his Hall of Fame ceremony. This is some fukking bull.

[Ol’Otis]

Nah. I can't do this...

Grammy clout chasing with the Nipsey tribute

That’s why it should be mandatory the FAA change the rules for helicopters where they can only fly VFR or visual flight rules.. just because of situations like this they tell helicopter pilots use caution of their flight path is going through dense fog.. Sometimes helicopters are grounded because of that shyt..

This just seems impossible. I'm in sheer disbelief...still. This is gonna take a very long time to recover from. I'll be 32 years old in March, I been watching him since i was in the 4th grade. I remember the 98' All star game like it was yesterday. I always rooted against him in his early days since Iverson was my favorite, but it was always love & respect. gained so much admiration for him in the second half of his career. A part of my childhood is gone forever, along with his daughter. This shyt is so unfair..man

RIP KOBE & GIGI

I'm the same age as you. I'll be 32 in May. Growing up in the Philadelphia area, we didn't fukk with Kobe too hard which is kinda sad because he was from here but, A.I. was all we knew back in the early 2000s. Kobe and Shaq let Philly get that one game in the Finals then ethered their whole existence lol. Had us tight. Then Kobe went through the courtroom stuff and the world turned against him and with my natural tendency to root for the underdog, I started fukking with him. I felt that broad was lying anyway, trying to ruin his career. Then he started dropping 50 points, 40 points, 60 points on nikkas head night in and night out Outscoring teams by himself. Couldn't do nothing but, respect the man He became my favorite player overnight He was the only cat that took the Jordan comparison head on, and was actually worthy of carrying the mantle and in the end he still found a way to carve out his own identity and style despite being similar. He outlasted all his peers from the early 2000s to the point that we associate him more with Bron/Wade/Melo/Durant then the generation he was truly apart of. And most importantly, he found a way to bring the Lakers back to Championship form after years of irrelevancy. I remember the servers crashing on SOHH when Kobe got his 4th ring It was pure mania that night. I felt his joy in my soul when he beat Orlando in 2009 and Boston in 2010. That was 5 years of pain and anguish being released, 5 years of everybody saying he couldn't do it on his own and that he wasn't a Champion without Shaq and he proved them all wrong. I was just so happy to see him prove that to the world. I never thought ten years later he'd be gone. I just imagined he'd live to be Bill Russell's age, offering his tutelage on the game to younger players for decades to come. It truly...truly...hurt my heart to read the news today. It doesn't even seem real. I was just watching his interview with Steven Jackson and Matt Barnes two weeks ago. I'm still a bit numb. But I do appreciate that I got to watch him and that he got to play the game he loved. I'll never forget him. I was a little bit too young to watch all of Jordan's career but, I got to see Kobe and he was my GOAT ​

RIP to a Legend. The GOAT Laker. Champion. King of LA. The Black Mamba.

You made your mark on the world and you will be missed ​
