Thanks
I can't fucking believe this. I don't even have words. RIP Kobe. I remember watching him play in his rookie season. Legendary player. My god...I can't even begin to comprehend what his family is feeling right now. My heart goes out to everyone personally effected by this tragedy
Bruh he was worth more than half a bill.
The family doesn't need money.
Yea I would hope any proceeds go to a charitable foundation or something, not simply his family.
Just watched this again too. Between today's news and finding out my mom has stage 3 breast cancer. This is one of the worst if not the worst weekend of my life.
Fuck.
My tweet out bout Kobe -
Kobe always beat the warriors. Always. They had a 12 game winning streak back in 2012 and warriors looked like they were finally going to break the streak. It was gonna be the coming of age of young steph and Klay. Kobe kept making ridiculous shots like it was nothing. Completely unstoppable.

The waterworks just started and won't stop.This just came across my Twitter feed.
I was at this game. Only time I saw Kobe play live, and it was pretty vintage (still pissed that night being a Warriors fan).
Hard to understate a loss like this. When you grow watching and really following sports certain athletes are just special and are literally ingrained is part of the era and your life when you grow up. I've been lucky to see some of the best player in history in various sports and 90% of the time you see them in the stands or in the booth after their career is over. He's the first one in the 4 majors that I remember have this happen. The type of shit where you will remember where you were at when you got the text or saw the news or whatever forever :(
I've been seeing a lot of comments online saying since the NBA logo could use an update anyway, make it Kobe. I'd be down for that. Put the fadeaway on there.
The Kobe game I remember against the Warriors was when he tore his Achilles' tendon.
Hang on dude. It's all about ups and downs, that's definitely a horrible down so it's going to look up.
Sending you strength.
Kobe always cruises against the warriors because they were never a threat, but he definitely had to step up a gear that night. As a warriors fan, I hadn't seen too many of his other games, but I saw his greatness that night.
My friend from Australia travelled to see Kobe vs the warriors that game. He and Steph put on quite a show.
All my friends and family were in shock when we heard the news. Just... can't believe it.
RIP to the legend, his daughter, and the others on the helicopter. This is legit depressing.

For about 3 years when someone passed I respected I did a tribute illustration of them. It was a way for me to showcase my particular knack for doing stylized illustrated portraits and also try to stay timely and topical in the social media landscape.
About 8 months ago I just stopped doing it completely. Even though I had gotten a few paying gigs and even some love by Adobe for my illustrations, I just got tired of doing them. I had my reasons which I will not bother sharing, but I literally just stopped doing them cold.
I share the above as a tribute to Kobe in addition to the illustration I have done. This tragic news made me "come out of retirement" so to speak. When I say I had no choice but to do a tribute illustration of my man, I do sincerely mean that. I was compelled. I'm being 100% when I say I'm not sure if and when I'll do another for anyone else. But me being such a huge basketball fan, even as a lifelong Knicks fan, my respect and love for KOBE is and always will be absolutely immense. And this tragedy just truly hit me hard.
So with all of that said, here is my tribute illustration of Kobe. Tried to pick an reference photo that I thought was fitting and showed him not as an athlete, but as a fellow human bein
RIP KOBE and the 9 others who lost their lives earlier today.

Jerry is devastated. He was like a father to Kobe so I know this is affecting him particularly hard.
Thank you, yeah definitely not a bright weekend. Will try to keep my chin up though.
Thank you, you're right definitely a down right now but I can only make it go up from here.
Have his jersey from many years back that miraculously still fits, but now I think I'm going to get it framed and put it up somewhere. For now I have it hanging on a coat hanger from a nail that normally holds a dartboard(that bachelor life) as a temporary solution.
From a teen to 22 yrs later, his life is tragically cut short. This really hits home. So much still left to do and so many more to help inspire.
Man... I'm still in disbelief that Kobe is gone...it's surreal .... Just hasn't sink in yet ...
