shareHow sad and yes, what a shock! RIP

Disaster news
My console to his family.
The fact that he and Michael Jordan are the only people I know from basketball tells me that he was probably pretty good. So I suppose it was a pretty big loss
shareHe was 41 and in his prime as a person. He was as decorated as any Laker legend ever and was just living the life in the L.A. area. The timing is cruel to say the least.
shareHe had a pretty notorious rape accusation that put his name in the spotlight too. MJ never had that crap on him. Not saying he wasn't damn good, but he's not in the same league as the best in the game.
shareI've said some Kobe jokes in the past but the whole subject seems inappropriate at this time. As a player Kobe was clutch. More so than Lebron. Not as clutch as M.J. Yes, Kobe was in their league.
shareHey, as long as he was rich, this idiots in this country will forgive anything.
Hopefully some enterprising reporter will interview Kobe's rape victim, get her take on this 'tragedy'.
Can you make another thread for this? This thread is basically a funeral.
shareHis victim took a shit ton of money to never talk about it again.
shareBasically Kobe pulled an OJ... are we going to talk about how great OJ was when he dies too?

Why you don't want to be reminded of what a piece of shit he was? Fact is he was closer to Aaron Hernandez than he was to Michael Jordan. At least now his rape victim can go spit on his grave.
shareSERIOUSLY DUDE...MY DAUGHTER HAS BEEN CRYING ALL DAY,HIS FAMILY,FRIENDS,FANS....WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM?...TRY GROWING UP ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND EMPATHY.
shareAnd you don't think the woman he raped wasn't crying? Now would be a good time to explain reality to your daughter. He wasn't a great man he was another OJ or Aaron Hernandez.
shareYOU SEEM TO HAVE NO COMPASSION FOR OTHERS AND LITTLE TO NO INTELLIGENCE...I FEEL SORRY FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU.. TO BE SO SAD AND ANGRY IN YOURSELF THAT IT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER TO ATTACK AND INSULT OTHERS....LISTEN MY FRIEND,TODAY WAS A TERRIBLE DAY.YOU WANTING TO MAKE IT WORSE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO REALLY FEEL IT,MAYBE THATS A WAKE UP CALL FOR YOU...GET SOME HELP.YOU DESERVE BETTER.
shareSorry to burst your bubble but I'm not sad, I laughed when I heard the news. I would call it karma if I believed in that kind of crap... but I don't so I'll just chalk it up to good riddance the world is a safer place now with one less rapist on the loose.
If you want to know who needs some help look in the mirror. You're all upset and hysterical over someone who died that you didn't know and who wouldn't have given you the time of day if you passed on the sidewalk.
Do your family a favor and grow up. Teach her daughter that whether he lived or died didn't matter one bit to her.
I DIDNT SHOW YOU THE RESPECT OF READING THAT....I SKIPPED IT..JUST KNOW..THIS REACTION OF YOURS IS UNHEALTHY AND ILLUSTRATES WHAT IS WRONG AND SICK IN YOU..YOU SEEM TO THINK YOURSELF FUNNY AND WITTY AND COOL...YOU REALLY SHOULD LEAN LESS ON IMAGE AND MORE ON SUBSTANCE,WHICH YOU AS A HUMAN BEING HAS NONE.ENJOY YOUR DAY,I HOPE YOU FIND WHAT YOURE MISSING.
share[deleted]
ONCE AGAIN.I SKIPPED READING WHAT I KNOW TO BE IMPOTANT VENOM....YOU SHOULD TRY TO FOCUS ON POSITIVES...TRY MAKING A FRIEND MAYBE,SOMEONE TO HELP YOU TAKE THE EDGE OFF YOUR ANGER...ANYWAY,HAVE ANICE DAY.

Unless your daughter knew him personally, she should probably get over it. People die every day.
shareWATCH YOUR FUCKING MOUTH WHEN IT COMES TO MY DAUGHTER...YOUR "VIEWPOINT" IS NOT NEEDED.

JESUS...YOU PEOPLE ARENT EVEN PEOPLE..
shareNo, he's a stranger. None of us know him. His death doesn't impact us anymore than the hundreds of thousands of other deaths every day. We just aren't so fucking egomaniacal that we make this personal.
share20 SEASONS...82 GAMES EACH,PLUS PREASEASON AND POSTSEASON...I HAVENT MISSED A GAME SINCE I WAS IN SCHOOL...ITS PERSONAL TO ME..I MIGHT NOT KNOW HIM,BUT I LOVED HIM JUST THE SAME...IM BEING HONEST AND GENUINE.WHY MUST ILL TEMPERED PEOPLE USE WHAT IS A SAD TIME ASAN OPENING TO SPIT VENOM AND STOMP FEELINGS?AND IF MY DAUGHTER HAS FEELINGS,WHO ARE YOU OR ANYONE TO TELL HER HOW TO EXPRESS HERSELF?WHY CANT WE JUST RESPECT EACH OTHER ENOUGH TO NOT PURPOSELY BURN EACH OTHER DOWN.

I LIKE CAPS...ITS NOT PERSONAL..ALTHOUGH YOU SEEM TO TAKE EVERYTHING PERSONAL.
shareJUST A F.Y.I...THE "VICTIM" TOLD HER FRIENDS SHE WAS GONNA NAIL KOBE,SHE HAD SEX BEFORE AND AFTER HER "RAPE".HER PANTIES HAD SEMEN IN THEM,NOT KOBES...HER OWN FAMILY SAID SHE WAS UNHINGED AND A LIAR...SHE TOOK A PAYCHECK AND VANISHED....BUT ,YEAH...LETS CALL A MAN WHO JUST DIED WITH HIS DAUGHTER A RAPIST...

REPORTED.OVER THE LINE.

MY DAUGHTER IS NOT A TOPIC FOR TROLLS.PERIOD.

What does it matter if Kowalski wants to use caps? There is nothing wrong with that. Leave Kowalski alone and don't be making creepy, perverted comments/jokes about his daughter. Kowalski is a decent guy.
shareOh grow up, I made absolutely no comments about his daughter that were creepy or perverted. Wave your triggered, bullshit, virtue signalling flag someplace else.
shareYou don't know LeBron James, Ray Allen, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley, Steve Nash, Allen Iverson, Kareem Abdul Jabbar?
shareGuessiing the Grammys tribute him tonight for the ratings, wow so shocking, the entire worlds heart dropping for such a bright star
shareThe Grammys are being held in L.A. in the Staples Center(where the Lakers play). Saying that a tribute is for the "ratings" is a bit off base.
shareaww didn't know that. I am tuning in, i'm a musician.
shareI play myself. What's your instrument(s)?
shareguitar and gonna take some piano lessons hopefully this fall
shareI strum a little but I'm a bassist at heart. Nothing better than ripping it up with a drummer. What kind of guitar do you play?
shareaww man I lost it after I typed that lol, started bawling. I like rock and blues.
shareIt's OK. This thing is shocking to me as well. Hug your people and realize shit can change real quick. If there is a lesson here it is that.
sharethink the grammys will be postponed? all i know is aerosmith is there lol
shareAerosmith? Tyler is probably close to death with a drug cocktail.
shareWhy would they cancel the grammys he wasn't a musician. The reality is outside of basketball fans he was no more important than some random guy the lives a few blocks over. Tragic news for his family and any fans he has, but to the rest of the world its a big, "okay" now move on.
shareI don't like sports and only know him with the rape story.
He doesn't mean anything to me and if the rape story was true, well then...
However, it does seem like several of his kids died too, so that's sad.
However, this is another story of money. He got that money and made it big, which is why he was in a helicopter, and why he died.
I agree, the lesson is to try to enjoy every day living, because it can be over just like that.
