Are you disputing the fact that he was accused of the rape and his defense team ran a slut-shaming campaign against the accuser to the point where she no long felt safe taking the stand and had to drop the case and settle out of court?
Shh. it's more important that he played a sport that people watch than for the truth to be told.

ABC news special report is saying the other 4 are believed to be his kids... One a newborn...

I'm fucking speechless.

An immense tragedy.

What a horrible and tragic way for him, hell anyone to die. May he and the other who passed rest in peace and their families find comfort.

So it's aright to mourn the passing of an accused rapist because he played a children's game well? I'm sorry but I tend to believe accusers.

I've gotten about a dozen "Fuck off" or "Fuck you" responses, but no one saying "No, he wasn't."
He's still a person with a family. One does not invalidate the other.

I'm not even a basketball fan. But seeing this thread title made my heart sink. Truly a legend of the sport.

RIP.

Holy shit, what? Just bought his book The Mamba Mentality for my brother the other day, who's a big fan. Gotta message him, he's probably devastated...

Still feels unreal. Dude was a pillar of American sports, and not old at all. Was just talking about how women should be give a chance to play in the NBA and everything.
Damn.

This news about Kobe is shocking. If his kids were actually on board it's a hundred times worse.

Wtf, this just surreal. Just a few hours ago I was thinking about a video where he jumps over a car. Crazy. RIP.

You know there were 4 people in this helicopter ?
"I tend to believe the accusers" so this means death is deserved ?
