JWhiz96 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Terrible all the way around. I can't imagine how Vanessa Bryant and the other children are feeling. RIP Mamba, you will be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 My god. I hope their deaths were without suffering. Far too young for both he and his daughter. Unimaginable grief in the Bryant house today I’m sure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc49erfan15 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 For Millennials, this is one of the more impactful celebrity deaths of our lifetime. It's certainly one of the "I'll remember where I was when I heard" deaths, along with Princess Diana and Michael Jackson. 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlins93 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Such a terrible tragedy. As a Marlins fan this gives me awful flashbacks to the Jose Fernandez boating incident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Hearing that there were others, including one of his daughters, makes this even more tragic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tp49 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Been reported by a number of outlets including KABC and the OC Register that the other person was Orange Coast College head baseball coach John Altobelli and one of his daughters, Tragic all the way around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildwing64 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I'll admit that I don't follow basketball, but even I did a double take when I saw his name trending this evening. Not only him, but one of his daughters too. Can't imagine what the surviving family's going through right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 The idea of having one all-star team wear 8 and the other wear 24 to honor Kobe and the captains wear 2 to honor his daughter is trending on Twitter. Hopefully the league considers. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont care Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 12 minutes ago, Rockstar Matt said: They should have cancelled the games today. I don’t think that’s the way to go. Kobe loved basketball. I believe he would have wanted the games to be played today in remembrance of him and not cancelled out of grief. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmoehrin Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 13 minutes ago, Rockstar Matt said: They should have cancelled the games today. They really should have. Nobody is going to remember a single detail about a game that was played today aside from the tribute at the start of the Raptors/Spurs game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilbert Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Im not an NBA fan or a big basketball fan in general, but Kobe was one of the biggest stars of any sporting stage. Very tragic news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he would have wanted the games to be played today in remembrance of him and not cancelled out of grief. These players are in no mental state to be playing tonight... Kyrie Irving straight up left MSG when he heard the news and players are breaking down in tears during the games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDAWG Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 This is in another sport, but it was mentioned by Green Bay Packers Zadarius Smith during the Pro Bowl that Russell Wilson led a prayer circle during halftime to pray for Kobe's family. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
