Kobe Bryant Dies in Helicopter Crash

[rightwinger]

at whatever cost, the Staples Center should be renamed after Kobe. a lot of folks are asking to do that

That would take class over selling naming rights for profit

"There are people we will never meet who affect our lives in immeasurable ways. For millions, Kobe Bryant was one of those people. He changed the game and his legacy will inspire generations of athletes." - Mayor Pete

"Kobe was so much more than an athlete, he was a family man. That was what we had most in common. I would hug his children like they were my own and he would embrace my kids like they were his. His baby girl Gigi was born on the same day as my youngest daughter Me’Arah.

There’s no words to express the pain Im going through with this tragedy of loosing my neice Gigi & my brother Kobe I love u and u will be missed. My condolences goes out to the Bryant family and the families of the other passengers on board. IM SICK RIGHT NOW" - Shaq

in his last professional game, Shaq challenged Kobe to score 50...Kobe proceeded to drop SIXTY!

"Struggling to process what is now a reality. Kobe’s life after basketball was just beginning and his second act was going to be even greater. His legacy, Gigi’s legacy both will live on forever!" - Derek Fisher

" I’m crying like I played with him or knew him well.
This is so hard because heroes are never supposed to die. Add that to the fact his beautiful angel was with him and your mind races to all your loved ones. Imagine going to soccer or football or basketball practice and not coming home.
I just want to hug and hold everyone. Life is short. (Remember when he took Brandy to the prom! Always been a legend.) Mamba and Baby Mamba out!" - Bakari Sellers

"Transgressions" are quickly forgiven if you have black privilege

Based on what I've read, I believe Kobe most probably raped a woman and still was paid $26 million in 2015 by Nike, Hublot, Panini Authentic, Turkish Airlines and others to endorse their products

Remember When Kobe Bryant Was Charged With Rape? I Didn't Forget, and Neither Should You

Not cool. Assholes like you need to be neutered.

He was a dirtbag. Feel bad about his kids, but he was a dirtbag
