His heart is in the right place but Kyrie isn't much of a thinker (i.e. the earth is flat). Bringing this kind of attention to Kobe's memory can do more harm than good. He really should keep his mouth shut if he thinks basketball started when he remembered seeing it for the first time. There are many special players who have played over the history of the NBA.
Bill Russell has more claim to that honor than anyone. |
And Bill Russell is still alive.
So is MJ. Whose jumpman logo is an entity in of itself that defines basketball regardless of being the leagues national logo.
It should be Kobe. That's my take, and I agree with Kyrie. Whatever his reasoning, I agree with the sentiment.
I will always defend the honor of Kobe Bean Bryant.
That is all.

| In the middle of the mad scramble I see Kobean. I call him “Kobean” or “Bean” cause his dad is Jellybean. Bean knows what I was going through. I’d been chasing him, been chasing Shaq, been chasing Timmy, been chasing all the legacies, and now the moment is mine. “Congratulations, man,” says Bean. “Enjoy this, cause there ain’t gonna be too many more. I’ll see yo b—h ass next year.” I have to get in my blows, have to say: “We activated now. This ain’t that Minnesota s–t.” “We’ll see.” “Say hi to Vanessa and the kids,” I say. “Love you, my brotha.” “Love you too, dawg.” – via Kevin Garnett @ Bleacher Report |

Post summer 2003 sports media - "It's going to be hard to refer to Bryant as just Kobe from this point forward after what has transpired"

Karma sucks for horrible human beings. These guys should have gotten as far away from LA as humanly possibly upon being discovered for their sick deeds. And needless to say, as with all criminal cops, they should have been fired immediately for this kind of depraved crap. I hope Vanessa wrecks them in court and on the court of public opinion. |

**** those guys. They should be entitled to as much respect and privacy as they afforded the victims and their families when they took and posted pictures of the deceased - none.

Good for her. F those scumbags. Now lets run them out of LA. Or better yet, into a jail cell. |

Saw videos of Vanessa and Natalia getting some tats to commemorate Kobe and Gianna. Man still seems crazy. That family is so strong. It brings joy and pain watching them move on and navigate through this challenge without them.

This Julius Randle story about Kobe Bryant is going viral
| Quote: | | When Randle was fresh out of the University of Kentucky, Bryant emphasized the importance of getting shots up above all else when you arrive in a new NBA city. It did not matter how tired you may have been getting off the plane, it was all about putting in the work to get better. Randle took this to heart and has his Knicks teammates buying into this philosophy in his breakout season. |
| Quote: | | In a year since Bryant's tragic passing, his legacy lives on in ways that continue to inspire us all. |
