Scored damn near 3,000 points in high school. Basically made this list twice.

No texts confirmed from any of the passengers to their love one or associates before the accident?

Nice story here about how Kobe donated $5000 to a local girls basketball team so they can finish their season . He kept in touch with one of the girls , whom he met and played with GIgi.

Wasn’t a big Kobe fan but this shyt hurts, not even 100% sure why. Think it’s mainly cause it feels like it was avoidable to a degree. It’s still so damn surreal, I’m trying to avoid thinking about it but it’s hard to escape with everyone talking about it.

But something I’ll never forget and what won me over with Kobe after years of being indifferent was during the 2011 Semis where the Lakers played the Mavs. A few Lakers were doing lame shyt towards the end of the last game cause they were upset about losing and Kobe was a true professional, he did none of that shyt and after losing congratulated the Mavs on winning, that display of sportsmanship was beautiful.

Thing is even if you hated Kobe, dude more than likely had battles with your favorite player so one way or the other Kobe has been a part of your life in a big way for the last 20 yrs. it’s like seeing someone every day since child hood and now they gone.

Kobe did so much for so many people and he was never one to brag or boast or some smiling photo with a big check

They said the fog was so thick, it was responsible for the copter to lose control and crash.

The first responders couldn't even fly their helicopters to the scene due to the conditions.

This is still hard to process.

This was like a gut punch.

My younger brother had the pleasure to meet Kobe in 2009 at Nike’s House of Hoops, when he was a writer for the Chicago Tribune’s Mash program (which was their newspaper geared towards high school students in the Chicagoland area). He still has the small newspaper clipping of meeting him.
