    My dad called me a year ago to tell me of Kobe’s passing, and I remember thinking “wow I can’t imagine how Vanessa feels” 10 months later my dad unexpectedly passed. And now I know exactly how she felt. Love hard, tell people you love them. Life is so unpredictable, and we can never hit rewind

      Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future.

      Emmanuel Kazonis Or maybe Kobe would be a different player lol... I hate it when people speak like they know any hypothetical what if. Just because the butterfly effect exists, doesn’t mean Kobe wouldn’t be where he was...
      You’re not limiting his ability, but you are subliminally. Kobe did to himself too, but that doesn’t make his reasoning right, then either. I’m sure none of us know, but we still might’ve had a Kobe Bryant.
      Doesn’t mean MJ is the only reason he reached success. And we’d never have this player to cherish. Nor did MJ invent the fade-away. Nor is he the first post up guard. He was just the first of the, I call “super athletic era.” Yeah, cool right. But it’s just a fact that after the 70s, players got more athletic.
      People group Kobe up because he doesn’t shoot like a 50s player on his fades. He shoots a FADEAWAY... HAS A KILLER MENTALITY ON THE COURT. That doesn’t mean MJ built that within him. Just because they’re basketball players... doesn’t mean their succeed is intertwined. Yes, Kobe might’ve learned a lot from MJ. But y’all speak on the subject like Kobe would be a raw prospect. Cause you’re the only one viewing Kobe as MJ.
      Sortve disrespectful in hindsight, knowing that your success is limited to seeing one player. That you wouldn’t be as great as a player without them. Who fucking knows lmao.
      There’s 7 people in the world that look like you. Probably more who think in a similar manner.

      TH-cam maga ugly truth and watch the Kobe Bryant the 38 minute presentation.
      TH-cam Russian vids and look at the Kobe Bryant information.
      This is all a staged hoax.
      That's why Kobe had a nike commercial where he destroys the helicopter that Kanye West was in by throwing in a detonator basket ball toward it....
      Also there was a cartoon where Kobe crashed in the helicopter fire to his stage to fake crash site and subsequent fake death.
      1st and foremost his helicopter was black and the crash site shows what looks like remnants of a blue and white vehicle Fender panel... With 2 canisters of smoke emitting white fog....
      Now if the impact they are saying in the news was a helicopter falling from the sky and disintegrated then where is the fire at the crash site? And how did the fire of the helicopter put itself out before the fire department or rescue workers arrived? Where is the black smoke at Kobe Bryant helicopter? There is an oil and fuel inside the vehicle as well as rubber tires and plastic parts they would be black smoke at the crash site where was it?
      You are all gullible fans of a satanic Freemason controlled NBA falling for a fake idols who rape girls and pay them to get out of court to get back on the court.
      The world is a stage and narcissistic ego archetypes run the human herd with "entertainment" And archaic codes so called laws.

I was like "WHAT?! ....no way...." and thought it was a hoax. I was bawling my eyes out watching his memorial. He's just one of those names/people you always hear about and have an appreciation/understanding of their cultural impact. I'll always remember the boys in middle school (circa 2004-2007) would shout "KOBE!" whenever they'd toss something into the trash lol.

The only player MJ could see himself and his ever known unhuman winning and competitive force reflected. Reflected or even surpassed. That along with seeing him go.

I feel like more often than not these sort of high-profile eulogies are usually so deliberate and rehearsed that they actually begin to ring a bit hollow.. They start to feel like they're all cut from the exact same template. There's all these stock phrases and expressions that people feel like they absolutely have to jam in by any means necessary. But this one was the exact opposite. MJ managed to retain all the high-profile pageantry while still sharing deeply intimate and personal details about their long-time friendship. I feel so grateful for MJ giving us a glimpse into their interactions through the years, very emotional to listen to but beautiful nonetheless.

      The saddest thing is Kobe was supposed to live longer than MJ. I fuckin hated Kobe Bean Bryant but grew to respect him, and his ethic. He finally became aware once he gained that glory he knew he could achieve. He absolutely gave back with security the way he praised players, which he lacked at a young age (I'm same age as him so I know when a guy is a BSer). I was genuinely touched by Kobe's passing.

    My best friend Ian died the same day. I will never be the same from losing my best friend. And I'm sure non of these guys won't ever forget Kobe. He was a great guy. Rest in piece

    MJ is the goat. And I’m not just talking about basketball. The man has greatness honor and integrity. Takes a lot for him to come out of his shell and be real. RIP Kobe

    Kobe was the only player ever to match MJ's intensity. That's why MJ respected him so much. RIP

      With due respect to Kobe man, but he never matched MJ. MJ in his prime was a class apart.
