I'm thinking LeBron wanted to stay low-key so he wouldn't be the center of attention and watch the service in peace and not be under a huge microscope.

All that matters is that he was there. Who cares if he wasn't shown. The LeBron obsession has gotten outta control.

Oh and I loved Mike’s speech. I was so happy to hear his joke because everyone in that arena needed a laugh to break up all the emotion.

Right, the funeral always have someone to laugh to joke about it. It always happens so we need that.

Y'all need to shut the fukk up about LeBron, this is probably why he doesn't want to be seen on because of you guys won't quit talking about him. Like yall on some the media shyt. This is about Kobe and Gigi.

I used to be the biggest Bron hater ever but Kobes passing got me out of that lane quick..

The man got a Kobe tattoo on his thigh and you all really questioning if he was there..

N I coulda sworn I saw his oldest daughter n I only watched the Jordan speech and 3 mins worth of Beyonce & Shaq.

Was Jay Z there?

He was next to Beyonce.

Yea the Vanessa clip was really heart wrenching. As emotional as she was you can tell she is very strong. May God keep blessing her with the strength to keep going forward for her daughters sake.

I wonder if her and Lauren London have any type relationship/friendship; I'm sure there would be a mutual support through their respective grieving process.

Don’t know if this is the right thread for this but just saw someone retweet it on my TL and wanted to share. Dude got off with some Bean bars

No cap that's FIYAH. If he made that into a song I would definitely bump it.

NOBODY CARES ABOUT LEBRON RN

HE DIDNT EVEN CROSS MY MIND ONCE WHILE THERE

BUT THE PEOPLE RECAPPING THE ENTIRE CEREMONY ARE WITHIN THEIR RIGHTS TO QUESTION WHERE HE WAS

I QUESTION MANY THINGS...

WHY WAS IT SO SHORT? WHY DIDNT JERRY WEST, MAGIC JOHNSON, OR PHIL JACKSON SPEAK? WHY WAS THERE LITERALLY ZERO MENTION OF HIS PARENTS OR SIBLINGS? WHY DID THE ENDING FEEL SO ABRUPT?

I GUESS WE EXPECT NOTHING BUT THE ABSOLUTE BEST FOR KOBE AND WERE HOPING TO GET SOME SORT OF CLOSURE TODAY, WHICH IM NOT SURE WE EVER WILL.

BUT THATS WHY YOU GOT PEOPLE NITPICKING.. THESE SORTA THINGS ARE HARD TO WRAP YOUR MIND AROUND AND ALWAYS LEAVE U WIT ENDLESS QUESTIONS.

The one standing wearing the hoody.

Thats artest

 

[DoubleClutch]

Probably or he directed the cameras not to film him. I wasn’t there but it looked like Tarusi looked at him when she made that joke. Who knows

Why out of everyone there would he tell cameras
not to capture him. Plus it was live he couldnt stop cameras from accidentally catching him. He wasn’t even in the background.

He had to be in a hidden area probably cause he didn’t wanna be seen crying or something

Interesting. So Bron was wearing a hoodie that covered his face which is why none of the cameras zoomed in on him. I have to take back my last comment about him never being one to run away from the limelight. I now have new found respect for LeBron. He wanted to grieve in private and not make this about himself. Unfortunately we all ran to the conclusion that he wasn't there and made it about him. Bad on us. We shoulda known better. LeBron has always been nothing but classy. Plus he has a heart of gold. There was zero chance he wasn't going to show up for Kobe's memorial.

Respect to the King. One of the realest black men of all-time.

Saw mj speech for the 2nd time and it hits differently. I saw it at work first so I wasnt trying to cry but saw it again at home and it's so genuine. Mj just perfectly summed up their relationship and what he meant to him.

You don't get the GOAT to say much, but when he does, it hits.
