This so much. Certain people just deserve a good smack across the face.
Are private helicopters required to undergo the same type of preventive maintenance or pre flight checks as say, a commercial flight?
If you're referring to the clip that was played recently on NBATV that was from last nights game.
To my knowledge LeBron hasn't said anything.
Not this shit again. Look I don't want to get into to it now, I don't think this is the right time.
About Kobe Bryant, I remember playing Kobe Bryant in NBA Courtside on my Nintendo 64. I was in the hospital and was a big basketball fan at the time (high school) and I remember what a great player he was. I moved on from basketball but I never stopped hearing about all the titles he won.
RIP.
RIP.
Oh, that's what that was.
My bad.
No wonder it felt so emotionless, and the questions felt kinda icy.
Thanks for the clarification.
The Doc Rivers one too... this is one of those deaths that hit you just like a family member's does.
happens all the time in games too its crazy when you step back an look at how far his influence went.
rip
What shit? I literally have no clue who you are talking about and am solely commenting on what I heard in that clip.
And you are right this is really not the place, so please PM me with what I am missing.
it would be so hard to cancel the games today, especially the early games
plus it's difficult to gauge whether the players would even *want* them to be cancelled. in situations like these a lot of the time people just want to play through it
I honestly didn't expect that the loss of Kobe would hit me this hard. I'm not a Lakers fan, but I'm realizing that Kobe was so much bigger than basketball. He was a part of American culture. I've never cried about a celebrity death before.
I'm not interested in getting into it period, so let's drop it thanks.
This is god awful and unbelievably depressing. RIP to one of the GOATs and prayers for all the families.
Yeah, pretty unfortunate thing. She's gonna catching hell for that. Especially with the timing of it.
Yeah I figured it just happened too close to them. Though I can't even imagine trying to play with a clear head.
And then there are the people who are just trying to get on TV. I was watching CBSN, they were talking to this lady, and this happened:
Lady: "I named my SON, Bryant!"
Reporter: "You named him after Kobe?"
Lady: "No. He's named after the Bryant Park Hotel."
LIKE, COULD YOU JUST NOT? I understand that you wanna see yourself on the magic box, but kids died here. Can you not... do this?
Yeah, his second eldest daughter Gianna Maria Bryant, only 13. It fucking sucks.
Nope, I imagine he must be devastated right now.
Just last night after passing Kobe for 3rd all time points made, he spoke about how much he admired him and the bond they had. And then this happens...
Someone took a video from the United Arab Emirates of a copter crashing and are tricking people into believing it was Kobe's. It's sick.
Kids TO THIS DAY - including those who weren't alive during Kobe's peak - will shout "Kobe!" when they attempt to make a shot in basketball (I work in a school district and saw this just last month). He's become ingrained in popular culture to a degree. I know that was a basketball example, but these were just regular kids in P.E..
i don't think a post sharing how kobe was a harry potter nerd was intended to be inflammatory
Okay. It's an emotional thread so I'm gonna try and ignore the insanity of what you just posted.
Not even slightly why I posted that. But you do you.
The man died and people want to see the human side of him, the side that wasn't just a basketball player. Come on dude.
I'm stunned. I'm mostly a casual fan of the NBA but he was one of the greatest players.
You kinda forget how young he was because he was around for so long and started so young.
And to have his daughter die is awful. I can't imagine what his wife is going through. RIP to Kobe, his daughter and the other victims.
I teared up when I saw the start of the Raptors/Spurs game.

Probably speaking out of my ass but I imagine the requirements are less stringent for non-commercial aircraft.
Yeah, but they get less than 5 minutes of forgotten fame while Kobe remains a legend.
