I'm not a particularly religious man but I'm starting to feel like this was always meant to be. Kobe's life was a supernova, and unfortunately he became very polarizing. Well polarizing here in the US, he's mostly beloved everywhere else and that's very telling. I'll always feel the media treated him unfairly and helped create that dynamic.
Now with his death, things just feel different. The Stan shyt just seems ridiculous now. People from all walks of life are coming together to celebrate him. It may very well be temporary, but here around LA people are more in unison. Maybe this is what he was supposed to do, bring people together

From what I saw of the crash scene, and the reports, I don't know if there will be anything more than charred pieces of bodies, which will make it even harder on the surviving family members. I saw a report that said that Natalia was rushed to the emergency room because she's been hyperventilating since she heard the news...
hearing this made me think how so many people who met Kobe realized how much he loved his wife and daughters. aside from being one of the greatest to ever play in the NBA, he truly was at peace retiring from basketball. you could see the genuine smile on his face that he was just looking forward to begin the next chapter in his life by spending time with Vanessa and their daughters. a true champion who competed and dominated in every facet of the game but in the grand scheme of things, when you just think about how precious and fragile life can be at the same time, the real alpha male is the family man.

Bro I really had the same thought like, shyt if they can’t get to everyone yet maybe him and others are out there still trying to get back down.
Like that shyt literally crossed my mind on some little kid hope it ain’t true shyt until I had to check myself
It won’t be private.
the funeral location and date will leak and all of LA will be there. The media will cover it all day and it will be huge event whether she wants it to be or not.

This is true but I'm thinking private on terms of access, kinda like Stuart Scott's funeral not far from here a few years ago. We all knew where it was, you just want getting inside the church or near the gravesite for the burial

I'm crushed, the "until we meet again" tributes are absolutely ripping me apart.

Kobe was such an inspirational figure around the world...I was at a lost of words when I first heard the news. Question: Has anyone seen this Nike ad?? It's my first time seeing this and now I really don't know what to think!

We haven’t heard nothing from KD yet. Dude must be fukking devastated.
Slept most of the day and felt good to just forget about it for awhile. Almost felt like it didn't happen for a second
Kobe was a super hero. To me he was more like Superman or Batman than an athlete. He was more than a man. He was an idea. That is why his death is affecting people so much. We didn't lose a basketball player. We lost a symbol. We lost an icon. A legend.
