cold as ice. But you’re right, we all process compassion and grief differently
Watched PTI. Watching NBA: The Jump right now. Excellent personal stories from Rachel Nichols, Matt Barnes, Robert Horry, Jerry West, Tracy McGrady, Ice Cube and company in tribute to him.
Yes, someone is chopping onions nearby. Especially during the McGrady segment. Damn.

Both eerie and powerful from a legend with words we can live by... prayers.
Ran right into that mountain.
It was avoidable on so many levels that I don't really have much else to say. The pilot was overconfident.
I have been rambling about the possible link between Kobe death and Lebron.
These high level coons like Lebron or Oprah are almost like a drug addict/dealer. They lack self awareness of the damage they are causing to the black community or their acquisition of money releases a dopamine high so powerful it is more addicting than drugs. These white supremacists exploit the reward center of these people. A drug dealer is also getting a high from the money he is receiving along with the addict.
Oprah is another example that took the intervention of 50 cent to snap her out of it.
You have to monitor people like that closely and get them help immediately.
I have dealt with some of these people, after white supremacists get them coked out on being a coon with money/acquisition of wealth they lead them to me. This is where I get terrorized and get death threats from these fools.

Damn. That’s it huh.

No doubt.
I just don't understand why the pilot couldn't simply do a complete u-turn when he decided to return and realized he couldn't continue the trip.
He appears to be taking a longer route which resulted in the crash.
Obviously this shit is over my head but I hope to hear an explanation of this at some point.
That’s why I mention overconfident. Some of the articles posted in this thread spoke of the pilots experience. He’s done this type of flight many times with no issue. Seems to have been very qualified. We’ve seen overconfident boxers get laid out with the quickness. All it takes is a lapse of judgment.
They should have never left is my issue. An hour difference and the fog would have been gone. Hindsight always 20/20.
Kill myself? You first.
You know, heartless fucks like you are funny. Hilarious even
This world can't have enough good people, and if one of those good people dies, especially tragically, it's natural to feel a bit of a loss.
Kobe Bryant and I are one year apart. Him dying made me look at my own mortality a certain way and it scared me honestly.
Hearing people tell stories about him evoked something in me. So what I cried. I cry at fucking movies all the time. TV shows too. If the shit is sad, I just might cry
If you got a problem with that, you can kiss my motherfucking ass

“I literally just heard your voice Sunday morning before I left Philly to head back to LA,” he continued. “Didn’t think for one bit in a million years that would be the last conversation we’d have. WTF!! I’m heartbroken and devastated my brother!! Man I love you big bro. My heart goes to Vanessa and the kids.”
“I promise you I’ll continue your legacy man!,” he writes. “You mean so much to us all here especially #LakerNation and it’s my responsibility to put this shit on my back and keep it going!! Please give me the strength from the heavens above and watch over me. I got US here! There’s so much more I want to say but just can’t right now because I can’t get through it!

NBA postpones Clippers-Lakers game after Kobe Bryant's death
LOS ANGELES -- With the Los Angeles Lakers and the city of Los Angeles grieving and mourning the deaths of Kobe Bryant and eight others, the NBA postponed the Lakers' game against the LA Clippers on Tuesday at Staples Center.
Discussions between the NBA, the Lakers and the Clippers took place over several hours before the NBA's decision, with the Clippers honoring the Lakers' request to postpone the game, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The game will be rescheduled at a later date.
"The decision was made out of respect for the Lakers organization, which is deeply grieving the tragic loss of Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna and seven other people in a helicopter crash on Sunday," the NBA said in a statement.
The sports world was shaken by the stunning news Sunday that Bryant, 41, one of his daughters, Gianna, 13, and seven others died in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California.
While flying back from Philadelphia on Sunday afternoon, the Lakers team was shocked to learn of Bryant's death when some staff members started getting text messages, according to a source. Head coach Frank Vogel then told the players.
The Lakers canceled practice Monday, as the entire organization was trying to deal with the grief. It was determined that the Lakers organization couldn't put on the operations of having a game Tuesday, ESPN's Ramona Shelburne reported.
"The Los Angeles Lakers would like to thank all of you for the tremendous outpouring of support and condolences," the team said in a statement released Monday. "This is a ver
y difficult time for all of us. We continue to support the Bryant family and will share more information as it is available."
Bryant played 20 seasons with the Lakers and had many relationships with those in and around the organization. Bryant was extremely close to Jeanie Buss, controlling owner and president. Bryant and Rob Pelinka, his longtime agent and now vice president of basketball operations/GM of the Lakers, were also very close.
On Monday night, LeBron James made his first public comments in an Instagram post including several photos of himself with Bryant. The four-time NBA MVP and 16-time All-Star said he was "heartbroken and devastated,'' and had been crying repeatedly while trying to write about Bryant.
Anthony Davis was one of many players around the league whom Bryant took under his wing and mentored. Dwight Howard also played alongside Bryant with the Lakers in 2012-13.
The organization brought grief counselors to the team facility Monday to provide comfort and guidance in both group and one-on-one sessions, a source told ESPN's Dave McMenamin. Employees were also given materials with coping advice.
The Lakers players will gather for a lunch and a light workout Tuesday, a team source told McMenamin. They will practice Wednesday and have media availability.
The NBA said that since 1963 there have only been at least 14 other games postponed due to tragic events or circumstances surrounding safety outside of weather or technical-related issues. In April 2013, a game in Boston against Indiana was canceled following the Boston Marathon bombing that killed three and injured at least 264 people.
The city of Los Angeles is mourning the deaths of Bryant and his daughter. Fans have been visiting makeshift memorials at places around the city, including outside the Lakers' team facility in El Segundo, California, and outside Staples Center.

Even after midnight Sunday, fans were gathered in the middle of L.A. Live, just a few steps from Staples Center, to pay respects and remember Bryant and Gigi. Boyz II Men's "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday" and Puff Daddy's "I'll Be Missing You" played, and fans broke out in periodic chants of "KOBE!" and "MVP!" around four candle-lit memorials that had flowers, oversized teddy bears, Bryant jerseys and pictures.
The Clippers played in Orlando on Sunday, hours after learning of Bryant's death. Clippers coach Doc Rivers broke out in tears talking pregame about Bryant and admitted that he had no idea what he would say to his team or how his players would cope. The Clippers beat the Magic 112-97.
Rivers told the media after the win that his players requested that the locker room be closed to give the team some space.
Clippers guard Lou Williams, who played alongside Bryant with the Lakers, tweeted Monday afternoon about how he was trying to cope.
"Been crying on and off," tweeted Williams, who played with Bryant in 2015-16. "Have a random thought about things we spoke about then laugh. Cry again. Then I tell myself tighten up, mamba was tough. Wipe my eyes. Cry again RIPKOBE".
