Kobe and Gigi Bryant Memorial Thread (RIP)

[Point Blank]

I try to get away but I keep coming back to this thread to read people's thoughts, view the videos posted and the tributes from people. His career is a thread that connected so many basketball memories, players, moments and fans together.

As us all bro.

Me neither

I did once, but at a Richard Sherman celebrity softball game in Mariners stadium but not basketball.

I still saw the magic aura Kobe embodied tho

Kobe struck out the first couple at bats, but then when the squad was behind near the end of the game... he hit a home run

Man I...I'm still. This video of him and his daughter



Why

I’m just so incredibly sad for his baby...this was so cute. I know most the time it was jokes on the board about Kobe having all girls, but he’s the type of dude who needed daughters and he loved them as such. So sad

Damn what this dude say this time?

The conundrum of @kobebryant was that he was a representation of post-racialism. A nation prepared to ignore #parchmanprison is ready to mourn him because he helped us forget. Forget the pain of race, the need for reparations. Forget the cost of having a #decadentveil. #ad...

While today we mourn Bryant and rightfully celebrate his greatness as a basketball player let us remember to give context. And understand the breadth of moments when the world should stop and take notice. #FlintWaterCrisis #parchmanprison #LowndescountyCrisis

Incredible, thanks for posting this.

This whole news today had me tripped out. I know myself and alot of others need to chill out on some self care shyt.

It just made me think about life, what's important, who I love and who loves me.

A life well lived Kobe. This is the type of energy that strengthens my belief in the spiritual side. I literally feel that him and his daughter passed on to another side. A better side. Bless and mad love to the Coli.

he wasn't suppose to fukking die
not yet

 

[mike larry]

It feels worse because NBA players tend to live long lives. Think of the top25 players ever, almost all are still alive. I mean guys like Havlicek are only recently starting to die from old age.

That's why it's still hard to believe because he was still young

it was too perfect brehs...

Tall, good looking black man, was fashionable in a designer suit or sweats, could talk on a sports panel or a news panel, spoke several languages, accomplished basically everything possible in a professional sport, WORSHIPPED by ppl in LA, beautiful wife, beautiful daughters, had an Oscar, part owner of a success sports drink, had his life planned going forward completely apart from basketball. I'm leaving alot out here but..

It was just too perfect brehs...

That's what makes it so tragic. Dude really had the kind of life you'd dream about.

It's just fukked up to know he won't get to do all the things he was involved with after basketball and see those girls grow up.
