Scoop's piece in the Slam tribute issue is flawless.

Man, I don't care how broke and depressed I was, I'd take 2009-2010 back in a heartbeat. Prime Kobe/Prime Obama/Prime Atlanta...

Can't believe my guy gone and now we got a mad man running the country and a pandemic. fukk this shyt.

shyt is wild how so much not connected shyt really is connected. Because Kobe’s situation could’ve been avoided easily and we all know that. But we see how this virus shyt even has the rich and famous falling back so there’s no way you are jumping in a helicopter when the state is on lockdown.

it fukking sucks breh. And this is the kinda shyt that could drive you crazy because any infinitely smaller thing could’ve kept breh off that chopper.

BUT THATS NOT HOW LIFE WORKS....IT WAS WRITTEN. IF HE WOULDNT HAVE GONE IN A HELICOPTER THEN IT WOULDA BEEN A BUS OR CAR OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE. WHEN IT'S YOUR TIME, IT'S YOUR TIME. PERIOD.

I just came to post that the more I learn about Kobe, the more that realize that we didn’t deserve him. Even his fans/stans took him for granted. This motherfukka was way beyond any other NBA player or present day athlete in general. In the beginning the world forced him on us, and in 2003 the world told us to hate him forever, and a lot of people did. Stupid asses. We were robbed of his true greatness because of all evil reasons, jealousy, hate, ignorance, and downright stupidity. His greatness was muffled from day one, and even at the apex of his NBA career he still was muffled in order to “win” the “right way”. He was a, “maniacal a$$hole” yeah, but only to achieve greatness, not to destroy. I clapped when Marbury spoke on the fake love Kobe received, they hated our niqqa, but they respected our niqqa because they know that they couldn’t fukk with him, and they all were forced to “bow down”, before he died and even more after he died. And IMO he still didn’t get his just due. For all of his NBA achievements, something was always in Kobe’s way of showing his full potential. He was never able to stand alone and live, whether it was the MJ comparisons to the Shaq shyt show to the Achilles injury. Even when he won as #24, “it was only because of “this and that”, a narrative mainly used to diminish his achievements, a narrative that’s mainly reserved for him, and hardly for the other greats. Even in his death, he didn’t stand alone and receive his “just due”, he even sacrificed himself (coaching basketball) in his demise as he tragically died with others, whose lives were also was honored. Over his whole career he got shyt for whatever he did. Even in good times, the cast of negative shadows tried to loom large. We truly didn’t deserve our niqqa Kobe.

GREAT POST....A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THIS FORUM FIT THIS DESCRIPTION BRUH. I WOULD SERIOUSLY GET THE URGE SMACK THEM IF I SEEN THEM TALKIN BOUT GOAT IRL LIKE THEY DO ON HERE. IF I CHECKED THEM ON IT AND THEY CONTINUED I MOST LIKELY WOULD.

Probably not what he's talking about but on one of his podcasts he said Kobe was the only person his age that he looked up to

With his lifestyle, he likely would of been exposed to it before it was even declared a pandemic

They would have used his antibodies to create the vaccine. He would have saved the world.

I still can't believe he's not here anymore. I'm just thankful for all the memories and motivation. I would have never finished professional school without Kobe.

GOAT

 

[Mʀ2ᴋDᴇᴇᴢ]

Back to doing my regular shyt but damn I think about breh everyday, pause.


2 months exact, RIP GOAT.

 

[2Quik4UHoes]

Even in this virus shyt I be having my moments. Nip’s one year is coming up too, also a terrible shocking, senseless loss. LA brehs been through it...

 

[Kinguno]

Rewatching that game seven against Boston made me cry again I forgot how close the Celtics were at the end and to see Kobe win smiling with Dr.Buss and the others was wild. Like he was passing the trophy around

What broke my heart again though was David Stern didn’t let them savor it all this talk about next year and hey phill you win in threes


Rondo hit a three to save the Celtics and Sasha hit clutch free throws to save the Lakers. Those teams were close. That Celtics team was stacked with Vets that didn’t need as much oil like the tin man. The Lakers fought for that shyt

Plus Game 7 Staples Center it doesn’t get talked about enough
