Need I remind you this is the internet? I could basically tell you anything. All I can say is that my life and work are meaningful. I don't need to defend myself any further.

I respect Kobe Bryant, he was a great basketball player. I just don't choose to worship him or any other athlete or celebrity. Nine people died on that flight and after repeated TV and internet exposure, I only know anything at all about two of them. We all live, we all die. I've got much better things to do than to relive somebody's basketball glories ad nauseam. The only two legends I care about are Stock and Malone and I'm pretty sure 24 second violations and cancelled games won't be invoked to commemorate either one.

This Kobe worship is getting out of hand. It's like so many people are trying to deify him. So you should expect a backlash and people who didn't and don't think much of him to have their say.
Who are any of you to tell people what to think or what to say?
I don't even think he was the best player of his generation. Without Shaq or Gasol, what did he do? Miss the playoffs, that's what.
One MVP. He was very good, but hardly the dominant player.
I really don't understand any of this. It's way out of whack.
If any of you want to praise everything he did, fine. Just don't expect me to.
At some point, this will blow over and everyone will move on.
On a long enough timeline, the survival rate of everyone goes to zero.

Well then, since you're obviously just a racist thug with a prejudicial agenda, I retract the "kind sir" acclamation from my previous post because you are certainly not worthy of it. I assure you, you know nothing about me or what I'm about and from this moment forth I intend to keep it that way.

Well this awkward. I was going to ask you to be my bitch.

Incredibly sad to read those who use this platform, at this time, to condemn or demean the name or life of Kobe Bryant. From the ashes and wreckage of his great transgression in 2003, came a great story of redemption, retribution, and a life lived with a purpose of being/doing better and helping others. Everywhere he went in the world was a bit brighter because he was there. He donated time, money, and his passion for being and doing better at whatever you do was and will continue to be a great influence for millions. He was a great man, husband, and an even better father. Out of the wreckage and ashes you saw Sunday will emerge proof of a life well lived, and stories worth telling. I wasn't even a fan. I laughed at him when he shot airballs and the Jazz broomed him twice. Didn't age well as the laughter became tears as he became a 5-time champ, sometimes after dispatching the Jazz. Be better people or please don't comment.

It's hard to disagree with anything said here. I admit, my loathing of him as a person/player trumps almost everything (except my hatred for anything Utah Utes and/or their disgusting fan base), and I didn't feel a shred of regret for my original post. In hindsight, as is almost always the case, I should've kept my mouth shut. I still feel uninhibited hatred for him, but, you know, time, place, and all that crap. There really was, nor is there now, any reason for anyone to come on here and disrespect. Make a new thread where we can all have a hatred circle-jerk, and I'll be there.

FWIW bitches, sorry for derailing the thread.
 
Not sure if this has been brought up but I have to wonder if Kobe pressured the pilot to fly. Like, “we’re not missing that game. Fly.”

I wonder what this dude thinks of the way that Hayseed handled his exit from Utah. Does he "get it?"

I've always thought of Tirico as a Utah hater. After watching that video I just laughed. Hawyard doing something for the "fraternity of the NBA." *Pulls up where's gordo video*
 
This is an incredibly trite thought, but here goes. Tried to chuck a pop into a bin today from distance and without thinking heard myself exclaim "kobe!" before missing by a mile...

Oh, and here`s a thing I actually came to post. Cabbie is a semi prominent media figure here in Canada, at least in the sports world who used to (I think he still does but I havent seen him on TV in awhile) do goofy locker room segments with athletes. He was really good at bringing out guys personality and he seemed to have an incredibly close relationship as a reporter with Kobe who tended to be guarded with the media. Watching coverage of this event they had Cabbie on the phone and he was easily the most choked up of anyone I saw react to his death. Anyway here`s a clip that really showcases the lighter side of Kobe if you are interested.
