I believe in God and that bible.. that works for me breh..

Numbers work for you it looks like

but one thing I thing we can both agree upon is Kobe's passing and life in general had an air of mystery to it..

We can leave it at that.
It's not that it's just numbers. I do believe in a higher power for sure. Just not in the Bible. But I do believe in a creator. And that we're apart of something much bigger than we can comprehend. And even though I don't necessarily believe we take this consciousness with us after we leave, I still think we continue on in another form. I'm not sure what our "purpose" here is exactly. But I do think it's important that we leave our mark here before we go. Kobe seemed to live his life by this belief. And I think that's why we're so broken up by this. Because it just feels like we lost a leader. Somebody who was trying to show us the way. And we didn't fully appreciate that while he was here.

It's hard to explain the feeling. But it just feels like we lost a powerful entity that was working for the good of us all. That's why it's important that we keep his energy alive through our own journey.

Right now people are still trying to make sense of it all and it's understandable. It just feels like a mistake. Like a glitch. And our brains are having trouble processing it. Like Steph curry saying that his faith was being tested. I thought that was powerful. Because I think a lot of people are in the same boat. Doesn't matter If you're religious or not. This loss has made us all question what the true purpose really is. But just the fact that 99% of the world is grieving right now. That tells me Kobe was living for the right purpose. To inspire those around you and make every fukkin day count.

She has a lot of family on her side and by default Jeanie and Rob are not too far away. But after all of the memorials are over, she’s gotta take those kids and just take some time off a long ways away from California.

Yeah I mean it must be so tough to still be in that house, giannas room still there, same bed you slept with kobe all those years, all his clothes etc in the closet

You know
Reading the ESPN Kobe issue and came across Sarah Spain's article. Reprehensible. It was essentially a hit piece that was allowed to be published. Damn the $15, if the rest of what I've read so far wasn't good, I would have tossed it out.

That's why I cancelled my Amazon order after seeing someone mention that.

To the.poster I said a couple pages back how I was having doubts after the one review by the cac giving the “ I didn’t like Kobe but after reading this...” spiel...this is exactly what I feared. I know how white folks are and it’s never good when they start reviews that way

I remember the day Kobe died some people mentioned that it’s hard to think of any major NBA players dying...I mean outside of Wilt Chamberlain when you think about it it’s true. Try to think of one off the top of your head other than Kobe...

Old school and even new school football players be dying like every year but nba players seem to live real long
