Kobe Bryant dead? 1978 - 2020 ✝

[shari91]

100 million people died today?

according to the world death clock thing I saw on Insta 99.8 million die every day

I'm not out there counting so who am I to know

as long as it's not one of my family or friends it's not my business

[blankoblanco]

The same will happen when MJ eventually goes

I don't need to read more than this. MJ is an asshole. He's a magnificent asshole, but he's a well-documented asshole. Guess what? If he dies tomorrow, I'm not going to post about how he's an asshole in the thread about his death. That's a really easy concept called TACT. That personal attack and negativity in that moment is completely unnecessary, it accomplishes nothing, and it's a shitty thing to do to the people who have grief over it for whatever reason

Get over yourself. You really have to be "that" person? Please don't. It's utterly pointless and sucks. You can honor the recent dead without glorifying them or suggesting they were a perfect human

[Mackballs]

No 150,000 on average.

Most of them with families who considered them kobe

I know, just ridiculous figures thrown round by moron Shari to try to justify her grotesque behavior.

[Nitrogen]

Here's my only defense of Shari (which is not easy since having a small town 5 drone on about sun tanning like it makes her the Pope of chilli town is super annoying).

Shari thinks Kobe was a rapist (and an adulterer and shitty dad). For her (I assume), seeing people reminisce and grieve is disgusting.

If OJ died in a car/plane/chopper/stray-tee-shot-on-his-quest-to-find-the-real-killers tomorrow and the people who still believe he didn't commit those murders started up a thread about how amazing he was at USC, or how funny he was in Naked Gun, I'm sure there would be an army of people dancing on his not yet dug grave too with the karma and payback type comments.

So I get the logic of wanting to say that the now deceased was a piece of shit (to you). But posting in an RIP thread for the sake of letting others know you hated the guy, and then trying to brag up your position because you get to go sun tan, doesn't make your opinion any more valid, or your role any more important. It just makes you a troll.

So why chime In to begin with with nasty bitchy comments in the first place then?

1.5% of the population dies everyday?

birth rates must be astronomical and we all know thousands of people, so i'm happy that i'm not dealing with the standard 10ish people I know dying a day

[Thrilla]

Why Kobe why!

I think I'd have to be "on" myself to "get over" myself. I'm just giving my opinion.

You don't like it? Maybe get over YOURSELF for getting your knickers in a knot because someone thinks differently than you.

Isn't life a beautiful thing that strangers online can post their OPINIONS and can disagree. Gosh golly gee.

Best of luck with your bets.

LOL

This makes 0 sense

Move the decimal over a few slots to 100,000-120,000 and we're on the right track

[dlowilly]

I will respond to you genuinely because you approached it in a polite and genuine manner.

If I had started a thread yesterday and said what do you think of Kobe I know the responses would've ranged from shit to worse shit to bigger than the biggest piece of poo to those who genuinely love him. All good as he was a flawed man.

My whole point in this thread was to say don't turn a flawed human into a martyr. We are all going to die. None of us are perfect nor should we be feted as such in life and especially as a lie after our deaths.

That's it. The same will happen when MJ eventually goes. People like those in this thread will hope to wash over the fact that he hasn't always necessarily been a great person in his private life despite his achievements on the court (let's forget the whole baseball gig). For some reason we raise these people up on a pedestal when your next door neighbour may die tomorrow without so much as a newspaper ad yet she may have brought you muffins once in a while when she had extra.

I've had too many people die the last year, got married, had to do a new will, etc... we're all going to die and I absolutely do not believe one of us is more important than the other. We're all flawed and it's ok to say that no matter what day it is. His family isn't going to read what little shari91 from SBR says nor would they care if they happen to see it because it's the absolute truth from the horse's (his wife's) mouth.

People need to start worshiping those who deserve it in their communities and pay attention to their own backyards instead of pretending to be so cut that an admin at a GAMBLING forum came out and said yes a guy who didn't know your name died but so did another 100 million today. Be thankful you're alive and celebrate in his honour if that's your choice.

No

You made an emotional, low impulse control mistake and now you're trying to shine up that turd and tell us you gave everyone a gold bar.

[Auto Donk]

WHy would he even need life insurance?

oh, i don't know.... maybe in case his helicopter crashes.....

just kiddin'.... maybe if his agent/bookkeeper have reputations for fleecing their sports clients

[biggie12]

shari goto sleep

[thetrinity]

Shari I hear tennis is on

[JayLA]

I'm not sure why everyone's at each other throats.

Good people, better than Kobe, die everyday.

[Auto Donk]

Why Kobe why!

you're sounding like that colorado babe again..... this time during the act, as he's just about to try and cross-breed his kids with fully digested Del Taco.....

[pilebuck13]

Wow even hman saying she kinda crossed the line just don’t see the point in saying after someone dies as well as with their 13 year old daughter that they are a piece of shit. I just don’t get a point in doing this? Especially from someone who completely contradicts themselves about someone in the industry who passed as it was terrible anyone threw salt on tony as well basically have some respect

99.8 million is probably per year, not per day. Or maybe 99,800 per day.

This is all I'm going to say before I go back outside...

Firstly the title of this thread isn't a memorial thread, RIP, etc. It simply says Kobe is dead. I did not come into a "RIP thread" as you called it to trash someone. Never have and never will.

I also do not think Kobe's disgusting. I think he treated those who loved him very wrongly and I said so. I have said it many times on this forum and elsewhere and will continue to. For some of you you seem to think that when you die of old age it's no holds barred... let's unleash on this person and say the truth. But God forbid you die young or in an accident... then you're apparently supposed to pretend a person was a saint. Accidents happen every hour of every day. Kids in childrens hospitals die every hour of every day.

Put things into perspective people. Kobe wasn't a saint so stop trying to make him into one when yesterday the majority of you would've used vastly different adjectives to the ones you're using in here. Stop being so bloody hypocritical especially when we can search all of your posts yeah?

[Git Lo]

whats sbr gonna say when antonio brown goes, he didnt pay his 4k moving bill or wat? cte did it? what is it

[MinnesotaFats]

I think I Shari is trying to convey a point that Black American male is generally and statistically a deadbeat...with an obscene percent of them incarcerated or with felony records and a more obscene percent of them non existant fathers.

Kobe's personal life was a disaster. He played into the true, but stereotypical black male percentages and if he couldn't jump or shoot he'd be just another statistic in a sad cycle for the black male culture in the US.

However, he leaves this world having created and provided for a family and having earned and paid taxes on, exorbitant income.

Is he a piece of shit?

No....his story is and will remain unfinished.

its true

can you name some of them that everyone in this thread also knows of?

there are also a a hundred thousand sporting events going on at local ymca's high schools, small colleges this month.

I bet we mostly only talk about the professional and big college ones here on this forum, especially the ones on major tv outlets

[WvGambler]

I gotta be honest here....if 99.8 million people die a day, we should be losing people in this thread any moment.

Well they might You do make a shit load of money at SBR

oh, okay Big thread shift attempt from Mini




Jibby get us back on track.....Where did Kobe like to take his suits for dry cleaning?

[Kermit]

People were doing that? Making him a martyr? This isn't a guy who got shot by the police here.

It's more the shock that a legend that people have watched for 2 decades who had a huge impact on his sport has died at the somewhat young age of 41 in a very unexpected way, and his young daughter along with 7 others also perished.

Not to sound like a dikk, but there probably aren't many sports figures retired or currently playing whose unexpected accidental death would be such a headlining story as Kobe's.

[dlowilly]

I realize I and some others are being hard on shari here

Her initial post was rude but not THAT big of a deal

What is a big deal is as an admin instead of showing some sort of contrition she decides to insult and threaten posters.

[Chi_archie]

I gotta be honest here....if 99.8 million people die a day, we should be losing people in this thread any moment.

we need to start a roll call thread stickied at the top of the forum...

by my calculations if there are 7 billion people I guess we have about 70 days until the earth is uninhabited.

[JayLA]

I think athletes are just like us, selfish, self centered, etc.

So I'm not crying injustice when an athlete dies. Probability, as we all know, reigns supreme and I think that's the only tragedy here.

[KVB]

WTF?

[Yulia74]

shari is the james comey of christine blasey fords

she hates clowns

It was an Insta thing so who knows... India has over a billion people and then with the rest of Asia it sounded feasible but I’m also not a mathematician haha

and thanks biggie for the sleep suggestion... I wish but it’s 1pm here and some of us have a real life family to spend time with on a long weekend instead of arguing about a basketball player so I suspect I’ll be awake for many more hours

[PAULYPOKER]

There are 2 types of SBR members here........

Those who post and those who read the posts.....

Those who actually take the time to read the posts will definitely not post.......

In this thread I have seen MOST posters calling each other out as hypocrites.......

Here is what I found.......

You are ALL right.......

Being human is ugly and I refuse to participate at least for
today as I am human too and today I'm embarrassed to be one..........

[GUMMO77]

I don't buy in to the notion we have to know someone for their death to affect us. Hell, seeing the news and hearing of death can be a punch to the gut, even if I never heard of the person. I guess personally, I think "what about their family" and shit like that. I personalize to me, at times, and that can get emotional. If you are the kind of person where a random death doesn't affect you at all, other than in a negative light, than there are a lot of holes that need to be filled.

That said, although I doubt anyone on this board had known Kobe on a personal level, most of use have known about him, heard countless stories of what he did on the court, off the court, marriage, kids ... all that, so in a way, on some level, we do know him. It's not just some random dude who died. Plus it was sudden, and violent, and it involved a father who was hopeless in protecting his own daughter from danger.

That is sad, man.

Lol as if threats have not always been here by moderators. How dare you ever disagree or even argue with them. Yet they can just go hard calling you a moron or whatever the fuk. Funny on the main page for the site not the forum there is massive Kobe tribute lol yet in the forum a mod feels for some reason it was necessary to make it a point to just say he was a piece of shit to his family.....why? I have no idea.
