R.I.P. Kobe Bryant

R.I.P. Kobe Bryant .

One of the Greatest of All Time. A few minutes ago when i logged in and watch my e-mails i thought it was a joke. Unfortunately it was not....a very sad day for the NBA and of course for his family.

i don't watch basketball and barely know him, but both him and his thirteen year old daughter died in the crash. that is absolutely terrible, i could not imagine how their family feels, losing two members so suddenly. my god

Sad...another good man died

I could be careless
I dunno him

Kobe is one of the greatest inspirations of our time, beyond basketball. Famous people often get a lot of praise when they die because kind words attract attention to those who speak them, but this tragedy is genuine. Everything that people are saying about him is the heartfelt truth. Words can't do the man justice. He set the tone for hard work, and proved that it can pay off. He'd go to practice at 5AM every morning of his 20 year career, and ended up winning 5 championships. He devoted so much to the communities in the southern states, probably inspired millions of kids in the ghettos to stay off the streets and work towards their dreams, and some of them are in the NBA now. He was down to earth and extremely patient with his fans, he valued everyone's opinion. When he got drafted he spoke with a 10 year old girl on the train and took her life advice. Success never got get to his head, he was always humble. It was unique and unnatural for someone of that level of success. He had so much unselfish love for his daughters and the youth around him. He was only 41. The world lost a gem today.

He really is a legend, on and off the court. He brought so much to the game, and was genuinely a nice and humble person that was just beginning his 2nd chapter in bringing change to the world in other ways outside his career in the NBA. Life's short. Stay hungry, humble and kind. RIP to a true great

He is a good guy who supported China!!!

Kobe is a great inspiration and role model of this time. His humility and altruism was admirable and invaluable.
It is very sad his death along with his daughter through an accident, it is a strong emotional blow for his family and for the NBA.

i too thought it was joke when i saw the headlines. it was and still seem so surreal to me. i didnt have deep affinity for him, and yet the news broke my heart. thats how much of an impact he had on the world.

what a shitty year this has been. and we havent even past january yet.
