Kobe and Gigi Bryant Memorial Thread (RIP)

narratives are important

it amazes me that kobe & his character is growing in retrospect

as great as he was playing hoops they should've put more light on that when he was here

i've been feeling heavy since the news and watching TNT last night but this clip made me feel better, I'm not sure what was going with Matt Barnes at the start



Kobe's legacy is incredible

Pierce doing some D Wade on here but not hating, they were very competitive

Maybe because I grew up in california but i always thought Kobe got his fair praise and love from fans

What hits hard is seeing the numbers August 23,1978-January 26,2020 like every August 23rd will be hard

everyone celebrated him as an athlete true

but i am talking about the man

all the key qualities that made everything else possible

Based on this article, the helicopter was in tact when it hit the ground.

Yahoo is now part of Verizon Media

They were in free fall for 60 seconds before hitting the ground.

What a terrible way to go out.

damn that last minute


now im just thinking of them knowing they were going to die

Kobe was probably so hurt that the hope he saw in his daughter would never be. Thats the shyt thats killing me. 60 seconds or more...no parent should ever experience that.
To be honest, Im sort of glad he was with her.

But recall the initial reports of how fast it was traveling when it slammed into the mountain. If how fast it was traveling is true, I believe they all died on impact from trauma.

On the east coast, Kobe got a ton of hate. All my good friends growing up hated him. Like legitimate hate. It started changing as we grew older. More respectful.

this and the way they died, and then their bodies just lying all over the place. i just can't get over it. And then reading stuff like this

Per the medical examiner-coroner, fingerprints were used to confirm the identities of Bryant, 41; Orange Coast College baseball coach John Altobelli, 56; Sarah Chester, 45; and the pilot, Ara Zobayan, 50.

The coroner’s office has yet to officially identify the rest of the bodies recovered from the wreckage, though according to Sports Illustrated, friends and family have identified the remaining victims as such:


just shows the state of the bodies and it makes me so sad

they just reported it was from blunt trauma and also have identified everyone. I really hope they weren't alive for that 1 min fall

It’s crazy his whole career everybody said Kobe hated everyone, come to find out he embraced so many players and people. I remember a time where “nobody wants to play with Kobe” “nobody wants to hang out with Kobe even” was really a thing, and yea Kobe was hard on his teammates, but it’s good to hear nick young, lou williams, and others sit back and laugh at Kobe being tough on them
