Kobe and Gigi Bryant Memorial Thread (RIP)

[HipHopStan]

Man I had kind of came to grips with this and stopped reading obsessively helped with that.

then I came back and here because I saw the private funeral and then the helicopter reenactment

Yes, I've read some things over the last few days. Poor Gigi. Honestly, my heart goes out to everyone, but I've been thinking about the young girls over the last few days. They all three had their whole life ahead of them and now, sadly, those flames have been extinguished.

Even Stone Cold cried

This shyt still has the whole world in shock. The sadness of it still hasn't gotten any better for me. It still doesn't even seem real. We watched dude grow up from a teenage basketball sensation into an oscar winning family man. And it still seemed like he was just getting started. For it to go down like that. On his way to coach his daughters basketball game....Just trying to be a great dad and a great role model. I just can't stop stop thinking about it. It's literally on my mind 24 hours a day. Even when I sleep I feel like.

I was watching the knuckleheads podcast and Kobe was saying he had a 6 year plan for his girls team and they were just in year 2. Dude was so committed to that team. And you already know he woulda got them to be one of the best teams in the nation. The shyt is just heartbreaking. And the pain we're feeling ain't shyt compared to what his family is going through.

My mind just keeps going to dark places. Like why does it seem like all the good people who can really make a change keep getting taken out?.....looking at the news and I see a killer virus spreading like wildfire....then I check the sports section and I see d wade parading around his tranny son like a badge of honor. They really got my dude playing for the other team now ......feels like to make it to that level you gotta sell your soul in one way or another. And if you don't play by the rules it ain't gonna be good for you.

But they want us to get discouraged. They want us to say fukk it and join in with all the bullshyt. They want us feeling hopeless. Right now it's more important than ever to stay on point. Don't let that dark energy take you off your path. Stay positive and meditate. Be humble but never weak. I'm really gonna try to stop bumping all this negative trap shyt too. It's a reason they push that bullshyt on us. Nothing but killing and drug using. It serves absolutely no benefit to us. shyt is toxic for the mind. You might be in a bad mood and not even know why. And it could be the music you listening to. The junk food you putting in your body. The television shows you watching. I'm tryin to get rid of all the negative shyt. It's up to people like us to keep pushing forward. Keep your mind strong brehs.

When they gonna change the banner to Kobe?

At least they didn’t have to suffer from what the death certificates said. They went quick, I guess there’s some comfort in knowing that. Glad they were buried in private too, i think it was best to do it that way for Vanessa and the kids.

Don't know if it was posted but this story is wild especially the ending.

Kobe bean Bryant

As tragic as it was, rapid blunt trauma is the best case scenario in a plane crash death. I choose to believe that they went quick and are together in a much better place watching over their family.

So I guess Kobe and Gianna were cremated or the media would have found their graves already

Even if this thread can't be stickied forever can we at least have it up here for 248 days or even just keep until the first year of this tragic accident.

Remember I made a thread here on the Coli saying Kobe was the best in game dunker of all time and dudes didn’t wanna believe it. Kobe has dunks I’ve never seen other players attempt and make in-game.

Kobe Bryant and Daughter Gianna Laid to Rest 2 Weeks After Tragic Helicopter Crash

Kobe Bryant and Gianna Bryant are at peace.

The NBA legend and his 13-year-old daughter have been laid to rest, E! News can confirm. The private Los Angeles funeral comes just two weeks after the pair—along with passengers Christina Mauser, John Altobelli, Keri Altobelli, Alyssa Altobelli, Sarah Chester, Payton Chester and pilot Ara Zobayan—tragically passed away in a helicopter crash. At the time of the incident, the group were headed for a basketball tournament at Kobe's Mamba Sport Academy.

Though the ceremony was held privately, a public memorial will be held on February 24 at the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles, giving fans an opportunity to pay their respects. "We are one city that believes in each other, believes in something bigger than ourselves," Mayor Eric Garcetti has said. "We will absolutely do everything tomake sure that this is done so thateverybody can come to it as well."​

Yikes. I just now noticed that. Well, hopefully people won't take that out of context and get what I mean.
