Have you had enough when it comes to the Kobe story?

Enfuego · Jan 31, 2020

I understand this is a very interesting human-interest story from not only basketball fans but bystanders from around the world. He was a global icon and died at only 41 with his daughter so it's the biggest news story in the last 5 years (Trump being elected may be bigger but up for debate).

But is enough enough?

None of us knew this guy but now I see people getting Kobe tattoos and sobbing uncontrollably about a guy they don't even know. Who are these people?

ESPN is playing up this "return to basketball for the LA Lakers" and young college players that have never met the guy scribbling his name on their shoes.

What's your take on this? I'm not a Kobe hater at all BTW. I think he was a fantastic basketball player and I was actually very impressed with how he carried himself and matured following his sexual assault allegation years ago.

Can you and all these other heartless pricks just go into a hole already? The offshore didn’t have many stupid threads here for the past few months....but now you’re back. Show some respect you twat. Don’t watch ESPN. Dont watch basketball.

The most inspirational athlete of our generation dies and you’ve had enough after 4 days. Fucking shameful shit to be posting this

Ive had enough in the sense that I can barely watch the shit. But am I tired of hearing about it because he died and everyone is mourning? No. It still doesn’t feel real. Y’all suck

Mob, why do you consider Kobe the most inspirational athlete of our generation? When I think of inspirational athletes, Kobe doesn't come to mind. I think of a guy like Eric Berry or someone like that.

Also, I don't think I'm being disrespectful for asking this question. I don't speak ill of the dead as I believe in karma. I'm not being heartless at all. I feel deeply for his wife and three other daughters. It's a sad story no matter how you look at it. Just unfortunate.

Honestly, i just turn the channel most of the times.

I did watch the other day on TNT when Barkley, Shaq, Wade, etc were talking about him. I probably will watch the lakers pre game tonight with the Kobe tribute.

Its sad what happened as he was a legend. The players are heartbroken as Kobe was their "idol" to many of the young players. I didnt know the guy.

Its a shame that i know many people in their 30's and 40's have died in the past 2-3 years. All with wives and young kids. THOSE are the people i'm heartbroken for, not Kobe

I guess I'm trying to figure out why a guy like you (if this is true...I'm sorry if it's not) is mourning a guy you've never met? I watched him too over a number of years and really liked his game but I didn't know the guy. Why do strangers mourn the death of a person they don't know? Is it because they felt something about him because he was on their TV?

I don't get that and that opinion would apply to any celebrity that passes on I guess.

Well yeah, this is all I'm asking. I don't think we're heartless for asking that type of question right?

Well, to be fair, let me summarize that situation.

1) A rape allegation was made by a young woman in Vail, Colorado that Kobe Bryant raped her.
2) The district attorney dropped the charges when the young woman declined to testify in a court case.
3) A civil case was brought forth by the young woman.
4) Kobe settled out of court with the alleged victim.
5) He publicly apologized to her.

Do I think he raped her? Yes I do. Is he guilty in the eyes of the court system? No he's not.

People are mourning all over the world. And you’re asking if the Rx forum is tired of it? Which means you are tired of hearing about it and you’re looking for confirmation for other people here. Some lame shit if you ask me.

Kobes the most inspirational athlete of our generation. People didnt realize it until after he passed. I didn’t. Way more inspirational than Jordan ever could be. It’s just factual. One guy gambles and smokes cigars all day. The other guy is positively impacting people everyday. Kobe’s energy was unmatched. He was a teacher. Someone to look up to. Someone who never stopped his pursuit of excellence, even life after basketball.

I think he was living proof that basketball players can do more than just shutting up and dribbling. Which is probably why a lot of the kkk don’t care. Because he single handedly proved them wrong. Plus internationally and what he did for the game. Europe, China.

Paul pierce said in the summer they would go to these player tribunes. There would be all types of big names in the room along with business people investing. Serena williams, von Miller, superstar athletes.... every summer. Paul said every meeting would start off with Kobe talking. Not the big business people investing talking about where the company is. It was Kobe. He took the lead in all of these things. The presence he had captivated a room. He’s motivating, he’s intelligent, he’s inspirational and he was able to captivate a room like that when he spoke.

Eric berry is barely known outside of Kansas City lol.

Huh?

Don’t bring your tree poisoning logic in here. What the fuck does that have to do with anything?

Not heartless at all. However, some people just cant get enough of this coverage so tv and radio will still talk about it. ESPN is having a great week with all the Kobe/Zion/Super Bowl talk

Not trying to get political here but its the same reason you have news stations that crap on POTUS 24/7 and you have stations that love POTUS 24/7. Too much demand with too much media out there!!

Remember 1 thing: February is the slowest month of the year so this Kobe story may drag on even more in order to fill in time.

WOW wtf a ban already for anyone after 1 post is very interesting to me. Mods must really do embrace the ring wing extremists here lmfao. The gayest one is on his 20th ghost here and they let him run around while his other names are banned. Interesting

This is real shit. Not that money power cock sucking political bullshit. Fastest way to get fucked up in the head...watch your politics religiously.

Look at this forum. Take a look at some of the people here who watch that shit religiously. All whackos. You got people who come here who don’t even watch sports...they watch politics like it’s a sports game and then come here to vent. Some sick shit chubs

Have you had enough when it comes to the Kobe story?
