even if your team was up 20 with a minute left, you still held your breathe when kobe had the ball in his hands. He was a true killer

Just wanted to pay my respects one more time before I get some sleep. I'll never forget this guy. Still very heartbreaking about him and his daughter. I hope that his wife and their family are doing ok.

She probably doesn’t know anything about sports and was gonna say “Knick’s” and “Lakers”


Call it for what it is. She said the N word. It “accidentally” slipped out because it was on the back of her mind

Just stop. If you combine "Knicks" and "Lakers", you get "Knikers", which does sound like the N word. So yes, it was a slip up.

I don't think we should be trying to make it worse for someone who likely just misspoke.

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-01-26/kobe-bryant-helicopter-crash-dense-fog-investigation
Kurt Deetz, a former pilot for Island Express Helicopters who used to fly Bryant in the chopper, said weather conditions were poor in Van Nuys on Sunday morning — “not good at all.”

The crash was more likely caused by bad weather than engine or mechanical issues, he said. “The likelihood of a catastrophic twin engine failure on that aircraft — it just doesn’t happen,” he said.

Judging from a public record of the flight path and the wide debris field, Deetz said that it appears the helicopter was traveling very fast at the time of impact, about 160 mph. After a 40-minute flight, Deetz added, the craft would have had about 800 pounds of fuel on board. “That’s enough to start a pretty big fire,” he said.

Didn't need games today. League office gets a big fat L for that. RIP Kobe. What a deeply sad day for the game.

It's been a tragic day. A reporter losing her career over a mixing up "Knicks" and "Lakers" helps nobody.
