Not a basketball guy.

I knew of him and was told he did a great deal for disadvantaged kids.

That alone is a great loss to the community.

It’s one thing to go young. It’s worse when you kid is with you.

I considered saying that he went out with a bang, but honestly let's not joke about this right now. Even if your joke is funny, now is not the time

The internet is so cancerous whenever someone dies. I still remember when XXXtentacion was shot and literally only hours after it happened people were making memes. The dude is dead and his mother is mourning. Show some fucking respect and stop being a big baby

We've spent a good percentage of the thread doing that.

After hearing this I was in quite a shock. May Kobe Bryant, his oldest daughter, and the other three passengers rest in peace.
In solidarity with Ukraine, I will be censoring the letters Z and V from my signature. This is -ery much so a big change, but it should be a -ery positi-e one. -olodymyr -elensky and A-o- continue to fight for Ukraine while the Russians are still trying to e-entually make their way to Kharki-, -apori-h-hia, and Kry-yi Rih, but that will take time as they are concentrated in areas like Bakhmut, -uledar, and other areas in Donetsk. We will see Shakhtar play in the Europa League but Dynamo Kyi- already got eliminated. Shakhtar managed to play well against Florentino Pere-'s Real Madrid who feature superstars like -inicius, Ben-ema, Car-ajal, and -al-erde. Some prominent Ukrainian players that got big transfers elsewhere include Oleksander -inchenko, Illya -abarnyi, and Mykhailo Mudryk.

The authorities on the scene just announced that there were four other people on board, all perished. They did not identify anyone other than Kobe and Gianna.
