news KOBE *RIP*

[LarryDomain]

Sad day in sports today!!

 

[Keith]

same reason when someone you care for passes. Kobe has meaning in our lives.

I wouldn’t immediately take to social media if a friend or family member died. It’s personal and not necessary to shout to the world.

Everyone grieves differently. Some cry, some hug, everyone does it differently. You should respect people grieving. By not showing respect to others grieving, you do seem insensitive.

Not to be insensitive but why do we care about this death vs the other 150,000 people that died today? Is it because he’s famous that we react irrationally?

How many you know, fully tear achilles tendon, GET UP, WALK own and make 2 free throws.
he actually stayed in the game and played with torn achilles,was never the same after that day and yet, played through a torn achilles, actually able to walk ON HIS OWN— STAYED playing through it, trying withstand pain, before leaving

to this day remain the toughest thing witnessed — money “celebrity” doesnt change a thing.

This is my point exactly. People grieve because they watched basketball but could care less that 150,000 other people died today.

Something very wrong with society.

Do you know what a FULLY torn achilles is?
is there a doctor here? hewas toughest there is

Generally speaking, when your heros, grew up watching die, YOUNG you remember them, for the good things they did.

Speechless.

but it also makes me angry. Another great black role model GONE.

what's sad is that in these types of tragedies. It's almost BECAUSE of their wealth, whether it's their easy access to drugs or women or luxury cars or in this case helicopters, that they end up dead.

it makes me angry because you would think that if WE ever got rich we'd be relatively more SAFER than when we use to live in our apartments in the ghetto with bars on the windows so that no one can come in and rob, rape or murder us but if there is a fire we're screwed BECAUSE we have bars in the windows we can't remove because they are deadbolted on.

and here we have someone with all the resources in the world including a helicopter and he dies just like the rest of us.

he took a helicopter to take his daughter to a game? I just saw the map from where he left and his destination.

Granted driving anywhere in California there will be traffic on the highways.

Having a helicopter gives you "options".

Rich or not? I'd rather drive and be stuck in traffic like everyone else.

but I guess. If it's your time. it's your time.

no matter what your choice in transportation may be.

I was never into sports. But I've seen this guy play and he was pure poetry in motion.

RIP Kobe.

He was an impressive player, no doubt. I bet most of the people that died today have impressive qualities...

People would probably care about the others if they knew about them.
It is hard to put a face or story on a random statistic.

I agree with the premise though. All lives are important.

Your rant is really tiresome.

I'm no sports enthusiast, but Kobe was obviously a sports legend and left an amazing impact on his game. Let his fans and admirers mourn this loss. Not to mention the tragedy of his daughter, for God's sake.

Nobody said they, "care less that 150,000 other people died today." Those are your words.

Regardless, people are grieving a tragedy of someone that is very well known. Someone that meant something different to everyone. To some Kobe's death is meaningless, it won't change a thing, and that is fair. Although, don't label those that are grieving as not caring about 150,000 other deaths. That is unfair.

3 posts made you tired?

I look at the big picture. It’s sad when people cry over one person and ignore everyone else. I get it, he’s famous so all others don’t count.

Wrong. Simply wrong.

No, they said they don’t care. That’s why one guy goes viral everywhere when he dies. People only take the time to cry out when they feel attached. Meanwhile loads of others die with no compassion or sympathy from the masses.

Hey look at my feed, I loved this famous person that I never met!

Can you take your rant somewhere else? It seems a bit off topic (and I never complain about that), but this thread is about Kobe.

People don’t think. That’s why the world is in its current, sad state. Follow the heard and you’ll be one of the sheep.

Yes it’s sad when one person dies but let’s not forget all others as if death isn’t the norm.

No 8 in Lakers was my favorite player when I was young and played NBA on Playstation.

RIP.

Some really stupid posting. Of course is sucks when anybody dies but the obvious is most people don't have memories/connections to those people or not as big of an impact on other people's lives. It could be simply a good memory, a break from a bad day, somebody to look up to etc.

Inspired lots of other players:

"Man I don’t even know where to start

I started playing ball because of KOBE after watching the 2010 finals. I had never watched ball before that and that finals was the turning point of my life. I WANTED TO BE LIKE KOBE. I’m so FREAKING SAD right now!!!! RIP LEGEND
Joel Embiid"

Just heard 9 on board

It’s sad when people turn a blind eye to the state of the world on a daily basis but come out from under rocks to mourn a famous individual.

The world is a mess and we come together over this. Unreal.

Again, yes, this is a sad event. Why don’t we actively talk about mass killings happening around the world right now? Our perspective is way off as a whole.

It's not a contest. People can mourn Kobe and still talk about other stuff like mass killings. Should people not mourn their own personal losses, like family/loved ones because of mass killings and other tragedies in this world? And I explained it to you in the other post, connections, memories. It's why you see such an outpouring.
