CherryMX 8,827 Posted January 26 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sc49erfan15 1,820 Posted January 26 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildwing64 1,634 Posted January 26 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Around the Horn 1,054 Posted January 26 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dont care 4,716 Posted January 26 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GDAWG 1,404 Posted January 26 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
