Kobe Bryant RIP
- Thread starter Fergies Gum
- Start date
Damn. Celebrity deaths never fazed me but this feels different. Very saddened by this news. Kobe was my generation's Jordan.
Heard his daughter passed with him in the same crash as well. Sickening news.
RIP Mamba.

Aye, class from everyone involved (including Pop, who had some legendary battles against Kobe in the early noughties).
I hate this generation.
Devastated! The word legend gets thrown around quite a lot these days, but this man was a legend. May he rest in peace!
Fortunately Trump hasn't yet learned of Carbon.
Wow, there's such a thing?! Pathetic.
Awful news. Genuine legend. RIP
Kyrie has pulled out from the Knicks game.
Understandably so.
You don't have to look much further to realise it was posted using an app that allows you to change the date
Just watching the golf, and the interview people putting guys on the spot about Kobe's death? Wtf man? It happens all the time when someone dies.
News and media outlets are absolute garbage.
"You've just heard Kobe has died as you are signing your card 2 seconds ago, what are your thoughts?"
Jesus man.

People are weird.
I started following basketball in the late 90's and Shaq was my favourite player then. I remember during the Lakers last few years and after they disbanded I hated Kobe because I thought he was selfish etc. What he did after that and winning those two titles later on won my respect, he stayed with the Lakers even after those horrible seasons after Shaq left and built another title winning team.
Fecking horrified, an icon for the basketball era I grew up watching and wanted to imitate while playing myself.

Not into basketball but obviously knew of him and I'm sure most people have shouted "Kobe!" when throwing something into a bin or whatever at least once. Won't be the same.
Terrible news, RIP.

What’s so weird about that date anyway?
Yea, I believed him. Just amazed and befuddled at what people would do for some internet clout.
I think he wanted to point out that he "predicted" it before it happened/the date of the post was before the event, but it's been now proven that he edited the date like the stereotypical social media scum.
devastated.
Know it sounds kinda strange but is anyone else questioning their own mortality right now?
Using a death to get your 15 minutes of fame is a pretty sick thing to do
What's wrong with people? Fecking douchebag.
Embarrassing montage from BBC on the news, half the clips were of Lebron James. The newsreader was stumbling over her words as well, I expect they'll face some backlash for that.
For what it's worth it reminds us all again how fragile life is. You could be gone in a moment's notice.
Shane it takes moments like this to realize how much life is not promised.
For real? That'd be astoundingly amateurish.
Eh, the BBC showing clips of Lebron when talking about Kobe
It was absolutely awful. Hope they get some heat for it.
So surreal when seeing the headline on the news, thoughts are with those that died and their close friends and family.
Yep, they're already getting stick on twitter for it.
As if it wasn't already sad enough, seems that 2 young girls have died as well then. Terrible stuff
Did not see the footage... But yesterday LeBron passed Kobe"s total of points scored. I'm not sure if the coverage was in reference to this
Ah right. Surely if you’re going for full on Nostradamus status you’d change it to last week, not 8 years ago.
