Always gonna remember how he tore his achilles and got fouled on the play. TV timeout... He walks(limping) back onto the court and hits both free throws. One of the most impressive displays of just ignoring pain.

I used to hate Kobe because he would always kill my favorite team but I seriously think I might shed tears if this is true. So surreal WTF how can someone like him just go like that, so unexpectedly so senselessly, **** what a horrible thing to happen. Feel for his family. Dude was special no matter how you felt about him.

Wow, this is horrible, who were the other people?

Wow, I'm so saddened and I don't even know the guy, but just awful. Poor families of all those who died, devastating.

I grew up hating Kobe, but in a way that made me love the game more. He was the greatest villain to my Blazers I could hope for. He made the game more fun, the stakes higher and played like someone that wasn't from this planet at times. This is just so sad.

On another note, I want to go make Bill Burr sell his helicopter. We cant lose that dude too.

Los Angeles is hurting bad.

Rest in peace Kobe. Thank you for everything.

I’ll never forget meeting you when you came to the restaurant I worked at almost 15 years ago.

I... I don’t even know how to react to this.
About 2018 Cavs:
