grandpasknee Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I've been a life long Laker's hater, but I've always kind of had a respect for them as well. This is just a kick in the gut. So sad, and so real. Life goes on, till it doesn't. Quote Link to comment

BigPeterJ Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I know it is easy to say now, but i always liked Kobe. I thought the trial he was in was b.s., although very confident, i never took him as arrogant at all honest to God. Also heard him talk on matters outside of Sports, and he impressed me with his wisdom in my opinion. Definitely an independent thinker, didnt just follow the common train of thought. I think sometimes people mistake confidence for c$%kiness/arrogance. Kobe was extremely confident, not arrogant at all. Sports are so small in the big picture. I hate it when someone dies, and the first thought is "what a great basketball player he was" i mean seriously that pisses me off. But he was one of my favorite players to watch. I just respected him even more as i heard him talk outside of sports over the past 5 years or so. Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Kobe was my favorite athlete. Truly a sad day. Even more so that his daughter was with him and others on board. 8 seconds to cross half court 24 seconds for the shot clock Can't script that stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment
whateveritis1224 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Reports that the flight manifest listed 9 people, which might have been where the incorrect reports that his entire family/daughters were also on board. Quote Link to comment
Aliens05 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Reports out now that Orange Coast College baseball coach John Altobelli, his wife and his daughter were also onboard. Most reports point to her being a teammate of Kobe's daughter. Quote Link to comment
