I feel physically ill. This is horrific and what I just heard on ABC is even more devastating.

You just never know. Unbelievable

Allah y rahmo
Stay with your family life is really short
It's so sad
I have a thought for Kyrie too, it's going to be really sad for him to see his mentor gone after all the things he deals with...

He was already looking forward to his Nets debut at the Garden. He’ll look to drop 60.

I can’t imagine how he feels. I know LeBron is legit crying right now.

Typed this on the GB:

Not even a Laker fan, but I just realized how much Kobe was part of my life growing up as a basketball fan. Hell, even the whole Chappelle thing where everyone would yell his name on a fade on the court to simply throwing away trash.

Oh no, his daughter was on board, the same daughter he took to the Nets game.


There's not much that makes me not wanna watch basketball, but viewing that video after what happened to them today...

TMZ has confirmed that his daughter Gigi also passed away. 13 years old. Christ...

I cannot fathom what Vanessa is going through right now. This is horrific.

Seriously. A cruel and sobering reminder.

This is surreal.

This is brutal. I know that canceling the games may be a bit much to ask at this phase of the day but there are a lot of players who are probably distraught over this (like Kyrie). Kobe meant a lot of a lot of these guys.

This is just awful. Goddamn.
