      UA-cam maga ugly truth and watch the Kobe Bryant the 38 minute presentation.
      UA-cam Russian vids and look at the Kobe Bryant information.
      This is all a staged hoax.
      That's why Kobe had a nike commercial where he destroys the helicopter that Kanye West was in by throwing in a detonator basket ball toward it....
      Also there was a cartoon where Kobe crashed in the helicopter fire to his stage to fake crash site and subsequent fake death.
      1st and foremost his helicopter was black and the crash site shows what looks like remnants of a blue and white vehicle Fender panel... With 2 canisters of smoke emitting white fog....
      Now if the impact they are saying in the news was a helicopter falling from the sky and disintegrated then where is the fire at the crash site? And how did the fire of the helicopter put itself out before the fire department or rescue workers arrived? Where is the black smoke at Kobe Bryant helicopter? There is an oil and fuel inside the vehicle as well as rubber tires and plastic parts they would be black smoke at the crash site where was it?
      You are all gullible fans of a satanic Freemason controlled NBA falling for a fake idols who rape girls and pay them to get out of court to get back on the court.
      The world is a stage and narcissistic ego archetypes run the human herd with "entertainment" And archaic codes so called laws.

      Emmanuel Kazonis Or maybe Kobe would be a different player lol... I hate it when people speak like they know any hypothetical what if. Just because the butterfly effect exists, doesn’t mean Kobe wouldn’t be where he was...
      You’re not limiting his ability, but you are subliminally. Kobe did to himself too, but that doesn’t make his reasoning right, then either. I’m sure none of us know, but we still might’ve had a Kobe Bryant.
      Doesn’t mean MJ is the only reason he reached success. And we’d never have this player to cherish. Nor did MJ invent the fade-away. Nor is he the first post up guard. He was just the first of the, I call “super athletic era.” Yeah, cool right. But it’s just a fact that after the 70s, players got more athletic.
      People group Kobe up because he doesn’t shoot like a 50s player on his fades. He shoots a FADEAWAY... HAS A KILLER MENTALITY ON THE COURT. That doesn’t mean MJ built that within him. Just because they’re basketball players... doesn’t mean their succeed is intertwined. Yes, Kobe might’ve learned a lot from MJ. But y’all speak on the subject like Kobe would be a raw prospect. Cause you’re the only one viewing Kobe as MJ.
      Sortve disrespectful in hindsight, knowing that your success is limited to seeing one player. That you wouldn’t be as great as a player without them. Who fucking knows lmao.
      There’s 7 people in the world that look like you. Probably more who think in a similar manner.

I was like "WHAT?! ....no way...." and thought it was a hoax. I was bawling my eyes out watching his memorial. He's just one of those names/people you always hear about and have an appreciation/understanding of their cultural impact. I'll always remember the boys in middle school (circa 2004-2007) would shout "KOBE!" whenever they'd toss something into the trash lol. He was sorta omnipresent, never would've thought he'd go like this.

The days after that were the longest days of my life. It felt like days until the full story of the crash came out on that day. It felt like weeks before the reactions from shaq and tmac and so many others came out. Rest in power mamba ✊🏾

      @@johnstarks8831 when you wanna say good morning, but it's afternoon, it's too late. You are too late to say good morning. It's an analogy for death because it's too late to do anything with them as soon as they have passed. You want to see their eyes alive and well. You want to say hello to them, but it's afternoon. Until the next day, you cannot say good morning. Until the afterlife, you cannot be with them.

      Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future.

    Edit: to those offended I want to clarify I don't know anything about MJ's children, and by basketballing son I also felt Kobe was, despite everyone else, the only MJ competitive and winning character alike he had the chance to embrace, "sponsor", support and witness succeed. The only player MJ could see himself and his ever known unhuman winning and competitive force reflected. Reflected or even surpassed. That along with seeing him go.

He finally became aware once he gained that glory he knew he could achieve. He absolutely gave back with security the way he praised players, which he lacked at a young age (I'm same age as him so I know when a guy is a BSer). I was genuinely touched by Kobe's passing.

Tracy said he would hang with Kobe and Kobe would have him sit down and watch Jordan play. We didn’t know these things until later but he watched and learned and studied Jordan and personally knew him. Jordan let him in and Jordan loved Kobe. He lost a little brother and his pain is of a family member passing. A close family member 😢

    I am absolutely astounded by MJ time and time again.. Such a perfectly crafted eulogy. I feel like more often than not these sort of high-profile eulogies are usually so deliberate and rehearsed that they actually begin to ring a bit hollow.. They start to feel like they're all cut from the exact same template. There's all these stock phrases and expressions that people feel like they absolutely have to jam in by any means necessary. But this one was the exact opposite. MJ managed to retain all the high-profile pageantry while still sharing deeply intimate and personal details about their long-time friendship. I feel so grateful for MJ giving us a glimpse into their interactions through the years, very emotional to listen to but beautiful nonetheless.
