            They're athletes he doesn't like.

            By definition of probability, they're next too.

            Unless all of them died together. That'd be pretty crazy

              This is similar to michael Jackson . People loved him but some others didn't.

                    Believe he did..
                    Yet, even Shaq was able to forgive him and not disrespect him on this day.

                      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?
                      we all have our vices Shari. would hope you understand there is no manual for the little thing called life so although he did make his mistakes, he also did try to spread awareness for being the best we could be while working hard for it which sadly is lost in today's influential figures.

                      lets not argue about the messenger here because our idea of right vs wrong can be awfully arbitrary. More so, celebrate the message he conveyed to everyone on a daily basis and thats what hurts here. that we lost someone who preached hard work in a world now where that is a minority.

                        I'm celebrity grieving at the moment. There are some here that genuinely breathed Kobe and Laker nation. That's not me but Kobe was the closest thing to Michael and EVERYONE loved Jordan so there's always that

                          Sounds like they didn’t see it coming with poor visibility

                          I hope so

                          Can’t imagine

                            Surprised he even tweeted about this.

                                Kobes feelings can't be hurt, nor can he be disrespected.

                                          The thing with Kobe that resonates with people is that he literally grew up on TV right in front of us, warts and all. People make mistakes in life. By all accounts he did his best to atone for his wrongs and dedicated his life to a family that will never see him or his 2nd daughter again. It's sad.

                                          I don't think anyone here has engaged in any sort of hero worship. People just feel like maybe they knew him a little better than most.

                                                Elvis Presley also.. I remember as a little kid.. BIG NEWS when Elvis died!!! Prince got little love and almost no respect in his death..

                                                The big wigs all died from drugs but Kobe from a plane/heli crash which makes it more unfortunately tragic I think.. Kobe was on the right path in life today..

                                                  His indiscretion played out in public
                                                  Just like Tiger
                                                  He seemed to come back better than Tiger and Roethisberger

                                                          Someone in this thread mentioned James Dean in comparison in terms of impact and untimely death. I thought that was pretty accurate

                                                            This thread is bringing to the fore questions that need to be answered... When people die it seems it becomes taboo to speak of the demons they had to face; which was a crucial part of their journey!

                                                                The big wigs all died from drugs but Kobe from a plane/heli crash which makes it more unfortunately tragic I think.. Kobe was on the right path in life today..
                                                                Chapocoense planE crash killed the whole team.

                                                                Kobe dying is sad, but not more than Jairo Vargas (you don't know who he is) (I made him up)
