Hopefully this is wrong. That'd be terrible.
Rest in peace Mamba. There'll never be another Kobe.

I don't think TMZ would publish something of this magnitude if they didn't know it was true.
Brian Geltzeiler: You see Mark Jackson getting a head coaching job as early as next year?

Adrian Wojnarowski: Not if people make calls on him. Not if an organization is doing their homework and knows all the things he brings with him.

Wait what... what is this?

If this is true (Please dont be) I don't know what to even think or feel. This is overwhelming to the highest degree.
