There aint no person in LA today that cares about the Grammys. LA is Kobe's city.
People make a joke about us putting it in the thread titles, and yet...
Because people have this strange need to appear more woke than everyone else.
Because making his point and stubbornly defending it is more important than letting people mourn
Yeah I was never a fan of Kobe or sports in general, but I have a lot of empathy for people hurting right now. This is basically the MJ of the sports world. My mom left me a voicemail that I listened to during a break for my CPA exam prep class telling me MJ died. I had to sob in the bathroom before going back to class. Shit is awful.
Wow. The guy just suddenly requested an account closure.
You closed your account because you didn't want to read the staff post? SMFH
He was always such a constant in my life. I watched his whole career and I remember the SI of him coming into the NBA my dad telling me to watch for whoever gets Kobe. Since he came into the sport he made it better in every way for me. I was tore up when he retired too but this is obviously something else
I'm still in total shock. Never really cry when a celeb dies but Kobe and Nipsey's death hit me pretty hard. My heart goes out to his wife and daughters. Rip to one of the GOATS.
I really wished the NBA reschedule today's games. Make today an memorial from one of the leagues legends.
Really sorry to hear about all the people that lost their lives in this tragedy :(.
This is gross. No matter how you feel about that particular situation or Kobe, smh.
It definitely blunts the feeling that the comedian is coming from a place of real compassion instead of just being a grade A jerk in order to receive attention.

I know of at least one other Xenforo forum that can pin staff posts to the top of a thread for every page. Might be something worth exploring.
Even if you don't like Kobe Bryant, no one is making anyone come in here and worship him. Just show some respect to his family during this tragic time, and his 13 year old daughter if nothing else. This makes me so sad to think that this child died so horribly. :(
If you didn't put it in a thread titles people would just complain that they didn't know that there was a staff post.
Still thinking about this.It hit me really hard. He's Kobe you know, he was just always there. He wasn't even my fav nba player but I knew he was one of the best ever.
RIP again to all 9 victims.

Bill Simmons and Chris Ryan did a quick pod today about this horrible news. They touched on a point of why this is probably hitting so hard for most of us. We saw literally his entire career. From hearing about some Junior in high school to all the titles and olympics and his persistent relevance after retiring. I hated him, loved him, respected and feared him. RIP to one of the all time greats.
To hell with the Grammys. There are 3 sports figures that are LA. Kareem, Magic, and Kobe. Nothing else matters.
Christ this is so tragic. I've never been huge into basketball, but Kobe has alwauys been a constant in my life. As a kid I'd do the typical "KOBE" shout when doing silly things like throwing out garbage, or playing basketball with my friends. I think this is the first sports related death that's actually hit me rather hard. RIP to everyine in that crash :(
I watched Kobe all the way since day 1. That's why this hurts so much. I respected him as a player and as a father
LOL, "plz citizens of LA, don't mourn the loss of one of your prodigal sons, instead listen to the pop song of the moment!"
I didn't even think about this. He might have opened up even more for that one moment, and we could have learned something new about him.

A friend sent me this. He was up where she lived not too long ago.

I'm sitting here with tears streaming down and it feels good to laugh again
LOL
Man this just makes you realize any day someone can just be gone. Took for granted that Kobe would be around for decades.
This one hurts bad. Like your childhood friend died. Grew up idolizing Kobe. Love how after his most fierce years he eventually learned how to express himself better. Learnt how to talk and smile, shared his knowledge and wisdom quite articulate and smart guy. He was quite a human being touched many people.
Post basketball he was a proud dad and had so much going for him in his prime of his life

This life thing is the most unpredictable. I now live in an world that Kobe Bryant doesn't exist anymore.
I always rooted against him, mostly because it was fun. If someone beat him, then it felt amazing, and if, more likely, Kobe came out on top, it looked amazing.
Kobe rode the edge of what is humanly possible, mentally and athletically. As a former competitive athlete, I was in awe of him all the time.
Gianna was 13, and that's the oldest she'll ever be. That's absolutely tragic. My thoughts and prayers truly are with those who passed and their families.
