This sucks.
I didn't like Kobe much when he was playing personally, but he was one of those rare players that made you respect the hell out of his game due to the work he put in and the results that came off of his work and talent. Just an amazing player, one of the top 10 of all time IMHO.
After he retired, and you started to see him open up more and more on a personal level through his other projects and interviews that weren't about him playing ball exclusively, my personal opinion changed and I really started to respect and like the man. It sucks that we won't get a chance to continue to watch his journey after ball.
RIP to the Kobe and Gigi. Definitely praying for his wife and kids and family...to suddenly lose your life partner/dad/daughter/sister at the same moment is awful and then having to grieve publicly when something like this happens...just awful.

They all were on a plane and found out the news while in the air. They got to the airport and all went home
If they want to do something about Kobe they need to get rid of Lebron, repudiate him by not playing which will set up him being released and eventual plane crash. Lebron was repudiating Magic Johnson and Kobe nonverbally. I've been watching and dealing with this snake nigga for years.
It would be the same as me not playing for a pedophile coach causing the team to lose games but not saying anything verbally to him.
As you can see from my threads, he has been knee-deep in all kinds of white supremacists schemes and plots. He needs to be put on a watchlist by the black community.
Magic pressured to leave, team record is 36-10 as of today. There is all kinds of shit going on behind the scenes.

Damn man, so a brother and sister lost their mother, father and sister on the same day
just unbelievably tragic
Getting all emotional and putting people on ignore for a celebrity that you never met or spoke to in life is crazy. Think about this for a second. If you died or a family member died Kobe would have went on about his day as normal.
I am to sad that Kobe died and I wish it was all a dream but my Brothas, Get a damn back bone.
For the brothas with the conspiracies just create another thread so those who want to talk, discuss or possibly educated can while having respect for others who don’t want to talk about it

Well naturally he would’ve went on about his day normally. He didn’t grow up with us. But he’s been in my life for the past 20 years as a dominant force in the game i love or in some lyrics in the music i love. He was an African American Global icon that represented us in a respectful and profound way.
And i wasn’t even a huge fan when he was playing.
People mourn differently man. Can’t expect everyone to just keep it moving when someone who has been in the background of their life suddenly is gone.
I saw the other Brothas comments but I just scrolled pass them as I was not in the mood to look at conspiracies. But I also understand that many people simple can’t become overly emotional about someone they never met. Being sad and mourning are two different things.
I was just speaking on the fact that many people just don’t idolize other people they never met. We have pages of people on BGOL fighting for no reason.

Certain people on here just feel like they always need to be in the spotlight regardless of what the thread is about.
Just a lot of mixed emotions man. If someone had an impact or was an inspiration to you on some level, then I completely understand being emotional about their passing to the next phase.
This is just the most shocking death to me, more so than MJ, Prince, Prodigy, Phife Dawg etc....because we were just talking bout Bron passing him, the debates came up again about whose better, where does Kobe rank all time (#6 for me personally), and he just did an interview bigging up the WNBA.
Add to it that his daughter was there and as a father myself, knowing that in his final moments his daughter will also be losing her life, it’s rough man.
They call it Get-There-Itis and actually a term recognized at the American Pilots Association
Get-There-Itis
The determination to reach a destination, combined with hazardous weather, claims the lives of dozens of pilots and their passengers yearly.www.aopa.org
Yeah. I learned about that yesterday reading pilot opinions on this. All of them say, it's the most dangerous shit because they all have minimal travel requirements and get-there-itis can make them ignore those preset requirements and that's when shit like this happens./
Holy shit, dude. I just pulled the weather observations for LA County during Kobe's flight time. This was a major pilot error. Visibility was only a quarter-mile!
That's nuts because from all I've read, you start to really think when it's at 3 miles.... anything below 2 and you're trying to get out of the sky.... but a quarter-mile??!!
After your cold hearted "Yall acting like people dont die" statement, saying "rip tho.." means absolutely nothing. It would have been better if you had said nothing at all.

A lot of these cats are dead inside and they get mad when others aren't the same. If it truly didn't matter to them, they wouldn't feel the need to post about it.
This makes ZERO sense.
Yeah, you can see nothing coming at a quarter-mile. And to think they was traveling at 180 mph too. I seen a couple of photos taken of the crash site and you can see the mountains are clearly obstructed from the fog. So all the account makes sense. Flying low to avoid the fog, flying fast, and miscalculated height of the mountain. This was an avoidable tragedy.
Of course there’s someone out there wanting to blame Kobe for the crash.
Investigation into helicopter crash that killed Kobe Bryant could take weeks
With Kobe Bryant and his daughter, Gianna, among the nine killed in a helicopter crash, should that have been the correct mode of transportation?

Yep. I know that area very well... what threw me off was the speed.... if there a malfunction that would make sense (like on a dive) but it's hard for me to understand with that level of visibility him flying the chopper that fast.
I was very sad to hear about the passing of Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna
It is and always will be hard to accept young people passing away. Kobe was 41 and Gianna was 13.When you see a person happily entering the second phase of their life,dedicating themselves to family and setting up new goals for themselves and others and it's suddenly taken away...it's just beyond tragic and sad. RIP Kobe & Gianna..Also to the 7 other passengers on the helicopter including John Altobelli, a longtime baseball coach at Orange Coast College, a junior college in Costa Mesa. Calif., as well as Altobelli’s wife, Keri, and daughter Alyssa and Christina Mauser, an assistant girls basketball coach at a private elementary school in Orange County and pilot Ara Zobayan RIP
