I hate Mondays.I haven't seen SoSHers turn on each other like this since the last Garfield thread.
Probably already spoke to Mamba somewhere above us on an astral plane.Has Phil "ZM" Jackson given his condolences?
Did anyone wake him up and tell him?
You're probably talking about a fake video making the rounds on social media. ("Fake", as in real helicopter crash but not Kobe's)Edit: There is a video of the crash. I recommend not watching it.
Are you sure about this? I’ve seen reports of a fake, or rather footage of a different crash that’s being shared as this one.Edit: There is a video of the crash. I recommend not watching it.
I haven't watched (will not) but I did hear that there is a video claiming to be it, but is not of Kobe and was a 2018 crash in the UAE.Edit: There is a video of the crash. I recommend not watching it.
I hope Breen takes all the time he needs to grieve...

That was hard to watch.I hope Breen takes all the time he needs to grieve...
No. I mean, it's a video that says live footage of the crash. I'm sure its fake, but I don't think anyone would ever verify a video of it either.Are you sure about this? I’ve seen reports of a fake, or rather footage of a different crash that’s being shared as this one.
Oh, you mean the crash site. Yeah, of course that's gonna happen now. Sorry, I misunderstood.No. I mean, it's a video that says live footage of the crash. I'm sure its fake, but I don't think anyone would ever verify a video of it either.
There was nothing ad-libbed about thatAlicia Keys (host, I think) ad-libbing at the Grammys about Mr. Bryant.
Singing with BoyzIIMen now, just one chorus. (It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday, obviously)
Helicopters are generally as safe (or safer) than small, fixed-wing aircraft. Mostly due to piloting.Suffice to say this reminds me of an anecdote from Marc Evan Jackson about the helicopter pilot that flew him around for a movie that he was filming:
“Don’t ride in a helicopter unless you absolutely have to.”
RIP Kobe.
He raped a woman so no the NBA should not cancel games over his death.I guess the logistics of canceling and rescheduling games would be a nightmare, but it’s seems terrible to be playing NBA games tonight. There’s a pall over every arena.
This is nuts. People have lost their collective minds.
lol, "... need to told to grown up." He shoulda sent me that to edit before he sent it.When Rev quit the board, he sent me (and others) a missive on why it was he was quitting.
It was thoughtful, and smart - and very Rev.
One of the things that stuck out to me immediately on my first pass was the following.
“Grown-ups need to be able to have conversations that are uncomfortable, and people who are intolerant of mental discomfort need to be told to grown up.”
So let me take advice from one of the few people I’ve admired on this board and say: Some of you need to grow the fuck up.

Yeah, this makes absolutely no sense at allThis is nuts. People have lost their collective minds.
His legacy is complex and there needs to be room to express sadness. There is room to abstain from that expression as well, or even to express disdain that he ever lived. It’s personal, and that’s ok. We don’t have to agree.

This is why you never do things like this the day someone dies. They are going to feel really dumb by tomorrow.
My reaction is pretty similar.I have always despised Kobe. For being a rapist, for his arrogance, for being a general douchebag.
I will say though, his death has affected me. There is of course the normal component to a celebrity dying where we all think about are own lives, the “soundtrack” type of thing that we feel with celebrities we have seen and thought about in our lives so much for so long.
It has mostly affected me because of his daughter. Seeing the many pictures of him with Gianna — and the look she has in her eyes when she is looking at him, and the smile on her face with him. That cuts deep. When I think about a 13 year old girl who idolizes her Dad being lost, and 3 other girls being left behind it is devastating, particularly having two daughters myself.
I could care less about Kobe being gone, but his death has hit me pretty hard and I understand why people are reacting the way they are.
Also, this thread is a shitshow and SoSH should be better.
“I apologize for the confusion this caused”apology ... she called them the Nakers

Apologizing that other people misinterpreted you isn't an apology“I apologize for the confusion this caused”
F- apology
I was watching the Grammy red carpet feed and wondered how many survivors of abuse or rape had to speak glowingly of Kobe to the cameras.He raped a woman so no the NBA should not cancel games over his death.
I feel terrible for the others on board and their families (and Bryant's family) But I ain't gonna lie, I find the unadulterated tributes to Bryant sickening and I cannot imagine being a victim of sexual assault today. I have a dear friend who is a survivor of rape and she has remarked that these tributes actively contribute to the very fabric of extreme rape culture that continues to hover over our society. Fuck Kobe and fuck our collective response to his death today.
The NBA will henceforth call every 24-second violation a "Kobe"This is why you never do things like this the day someone dies. They are going to feel really dumb by tomorrow.
She was just playing the circle game.“I apologize for the confusion this caused”
F- apology
