Kobe and Gigi Bryant Memorial Thread (RIP)

Through this tragedy this should motivate the young guys to be even greater in their craft. Develop that work ethic and make an impact in the game and outside of the game.

Honestly his work ethic can be applied to any craft. His obsession with fulfilling his potential and his love for the game to the point where it was like a religion to him is something few people have in any profession.

Not just players in the game but everyone in all walks of life.

Haven’t seen this one posted yet but this video always stayed in the back of my mind breh didn’t take it easy on Bah Wah at ALL. Told JD he was getting a Grammy off the game

“Everything he do in 2k is real”

Suspect we will be seeing some historic performances for the rest of this season. Young brehs who modeled their game after him will put in work.


We got a little taste of it last night with Devin Booker and Trae Young.

Trying to get my mind off this and youtube is not helping at ALL

All my recommended videos are either reports of Kobe's death or reactions to it. Is there a way to turn this shyt off?

I see it like this...Kobe completed 1 half of his life which was his dream to be in the NBA, getting drafted outta high school, playing for the Lakers, working on his craft to become the very best, winning 5 rings, etc.

But Kobe didn't get to complete the 2nd half of his life which was retirement, family, coaching his daughter, mentoring players, be alive to see his HOF induction, writing books, films and who knows what else.

So his life was incomplete and Kobe seemed more excited for the 2nd half of his life than the first. He gave so much of his life to basketball that he wanted to give his life to his family and get to see the fruits of his labor.

Like I said before, I grew up rooting against this man and the Lakers dynasty... I remember watching those Kings/Lakers games staying up late as hell to see the end knowing i had to go to school the next day but my mom was cool with it.

Being in PE Class or on the blacktop playing ball and all you hear is KOBE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm a 90's baby (born in 91) and Kobe was the Jordan of our generation. I didn't get into the NBA until like '98 when Jordan won his 6th and final ring. Then that's when Kobe and Shaq took over.

So yeah Kobe been apart of my life for as long as I can remember.

Part of me hopes that these ofettes reaction to Kobe's death (ie. accusing him of rape) will put a greater magnifying glass on the bullshyt that is WHITE Feminism but I know it's a lost cause

I saw it and wish I didn't read the comments shyt got me heated as fukk. Black people especially black women need to stop fukking with WHITE CAVE bytchES FEMINISM.

Man, I was reading the Wikipedia page for the Shaq and Kobe feud and seeing it end with "On January 26, 2020, Bryant died in a helicopter crash.[157] O'Neal expressed his sorrow on Twitter soon after official reports of Bryant's death were released." ...man. Just makes you realize how silly and petty life is
