i will. they said police and other services grounded their heli's because of the conditions. but said the decision is up to the pilot. If he was negligent and irresponsible, he getting these bars. dead or not. You dont become exempt from blame just because you died. You have a responsibility Families were obliterated because of his error, if it is found to be his fault. Dudes knew it was foggy before he ever turned the key.

Too keepkobe has to take some blame too. Why fly so much for such a short trip? Buy a spot in Thousand Oaks so you got a place to stay for the weekend and drive. Not sure about the carbon footprint compared to a private plane but that too.
man what? no. none of that. fall back.

For me?? No because his legacy is solidified with me ... For those border liners, def ... especially when people move on from Kobe's death .... I think that's where people will start going OD.
But I can be wrong .....
We will see.

honestly the whole lebron doing it for kobe is corny to me. Kobe and lebron never played on the same team. If kobe passed while playing on the same team as lebron..yea i see it. If LeBron and Kobe played on the same team and then Kobe retired and then shortly past… yeah I can see it. Lebron doesnt even have the same mentality or killer attitude that kobe. Hes a big baby and doesn't have that killer instinct. I dont see ANY similarities between the two at all. Now just because LeBron is on the Lakers he feels obligated? It’s just dumb to me. Obviously if an all-time great comes to the Lakers in the twilight of his career.. Obviously he’s going to welcome him with open arms and say they are “ family now”. But give me a break. If kobe died while he and dfish were playing. Dfish gonna win it for kobe. I get that.

like if they don't win there will be people that get mad but at the same time this tragedy was just so shockingly abrupt and sudden and it's going to be pressing over their heads all season
that's tough man
i got enough mental obstacles and i'm just a regular bum from cali

very. And seeing Kenny Smith explain his morning after finding out Rick Fox was on the helicopter, and then not on the helicopter was something else. You can tell Fox not only had to deal with the loss of Kobe, but his friends and family members who thought he was gone as well. RoughSeeing Shaq breakdown was rough.

I don't understand this narrative at all that Lebron has to win it for Kobe. I doubt kobe cared much how the Lakers was goin to do this year. He had this whole other life. He's been to three nba games this yr and two of them were Hawks games (cuz Trae was gigi 's favorite player).

some people are
most of it is more like
"if we win, it'll be amazing/fairy tale/heart etc but ill be fine if we don't"
but some of it is like
"we gotta get this thing for Bean now"
and even a smaller bit is
"bron better win this for Bean now"
from what i see on twitter anyway

nobody is saying he HAS to win it, are they? I know the Lebron haters probably feel like he better win it (more because his team is set up to win it) but not because its for Kobe

him and Bron had actually gotten pretty close though
like it's haunting
his last posts are to him and then he calls him before bron gets on the team plane and kobe gets on the chopper
and since the tragedy there's a huge hole and i feel a lot of people feel that the lakers winning it in his honor would just be beyond words
most people aren't pushing it too hard tho cuz from what i see most people are saying its more than just ball rn

Ya dudes dont ....yeah i know how you feel about the guy too
but this... bruh this like insurmountable pressure
like if they don't win there will be people that get mad but at the same time this tragedy was just so shockingly abrupt and sudden and it's going to be pressing over their heads all season

I dont hate dude and I have never wished him ill. That's a family man, role model to millions, vocal about **** that matters and contribute to the youth.
To be honest ....
I hate Michael Jordan, he used to abuse my Knicks. The only time I was happy for Michael was when he left to play baseball .. gave my Knicks a chance.
I also hated Kobe, for trying to be like him. Every move, the ******* defense .. it was like I was seeing MJ again.
But ultimately the same reasons I disliked them w qss s the same reason i became a fan. The will to win, the killer instinct, the never quit or make excuses attitude. Like man ... these dudes just different man ... they never were the chosen one, they weren't the number #1 pick ... they weren't given all the accolades before day 1 ... they worked their asses off and took them.
If you know what I mean ..
But with MJ, I just dont have that feel for him off the court. Never seen dude be a father, not to say he's not a good one. Never saw or heard dude talking about **** that matter .. like hes a rich guy that was great at basketball ... Kobe worked on his image and the love he showed for his family made this tragedy a hard one for me.
If Lebron was to die, I def would shed a tear because like Kobe he means a lot to the community and dude has been real role husband and family man role model. Never one scandal and has always been there for his kids. And although I hate when people give him accolades for being a father and husband, truth be told .. the minority and black community needs to see it ...seeing a family dad and mom together no stepping out and showing what real men do, means a lot.
Just saying.

Magic was my all time favorite Laker. I grew up with Showtime and being a Lakers fan. But then I stopped being a Lakers fan when Pat Riley left and began to root against the Lakers when Shaq came. It was the final nail in the coffin for some reason. But I always loved Kobe.
Kobe has surpassed Magic for me now. Not because of his passing. But 20 years, 5 rings. His accomplishments speak for themselves

When you say Lebron haters, you really said the majority of Kobe stans.
So that's that ... give two **** if he wins or loses ... my problem is that everyone is already starting the narrative, when in fact anyone that wins this year will have a feel good story about how much Kobe meant to them ....

i didnt say anything about his fam. but, i hate the term 'accidents just happen'. That's ********. And actually, more often than not, not true. If you run back through history to most accidents, there was always a catalyst that put things into play. It's usually through error that 'accidents just happen'. This wasn't an unforseeable act of God. This was human error. Somebody has to be blamed. Families are destroyed over this. A helicopter didnt just fall out of the sky. Physics didn't suddenly defy its own law. The mountain didnt just come out of nowhere, it wasn't a deer in the road. The choice should've been made on the ground to not fly if the conditions were bad enough for other services to ground their flights. Arrogance put that flight in the air.
Not even blaming the pilot yet. Just saying, some blame will be handed out eventually. You don't escape responsibility simply because you perished, if you're the prime reason for it.
