I know they always reload, but it doesn't feel like they can reload from having such a GOAT leave

I know they'll find someone one day

Not D'Angela

What am I gonna do?

I've been putting a front for the coli like it doesn't bother me or I'm not scared, upset, angry, frustrated. So many emotions that I'm feeling and I thought that if I pretended like it wasn't happening that I wouldn't feel any of those emotions.

But today..... it hit me. It's over. What do I do with my life? Watching Kobe has pushed me to live. Through the ups and down, I've always had Kobe to rely on. I failed a test in HS? Well at least Kobe is playing tonight. Problems at the crib? Well, at least Kobe is playing tonight. My ex girl broke up with me cause I chose to watch Kobe play instead of chillin with her.

I've never felt a death before, well one that was close to me... but this has to be a similar feeling right?

Anyways, I just wanted to write this because I needed to let this out in the open.

I'm going to rely on you guys to comfort me through these tough times... especially my bros:


@houston911 @Nima0614 @Malta @2Quik4UHoes @Broke Wave @charmander @ikbm @Full Measures @Reinscarf @CHICAGO @Brozay @Loose @malcolmxxx_45 @tremonthustler1

sorry if I missed anyone but blame my mind not my heart.

I've been struggling with this too brotato chip. I've been sacrificing going to the gym just to watch a shytty stream at the crib in hopes of seeing Kobe splash a turnaround just one more time before he leaves.

I've been searching around the league to see if there is another player the caliber of Kobe worth stanning so that I won't be alone when he rides off into the sunset and that journey by itself has helped guide me through this valley.

I don't know where our illustrious franchise will go after he leaves us but the one thing I can take solace in is the fact that he owes his allegiance to our franchise and ours only and if we ever need his help on player development or advice on what player would fit the best I know he wouldn't hesitate to assist

I'm here for you breh

I've been staring at my ticket for the final game for the past few days. Realizing that will be my final Lakers game seeing the mamba hurts. So many games since I was a youngin seeing goatbe play. I never thought this day would come.

I'm already dreading sitting in the stands cause I know a fukking highlight reel is gonna roll before the game starts and I ain't gonna be able to keep it I'm taking my laker rally towel from last chip and hiding my face. All the buzzer beaters all the highlight shots Many people don't know that feeling seeing the goat with 5 seconds left and having him drain it. heart stopping basketball from the gawd. How do I move on?

We gone be aight brehs. Its time to close this chapter of our lives. All great things must come to an end. Had the chance of seeing the GOAT play several times as a kid when the Sonics were still round () and witnessed a game winner and the 12 Three's . I was just a young nikka wit an oversize white Kobe jersey talkin hella shyt to mad drunk Sonics cacs. Also got to watch the '03 team play at the Staples Center against the Wolves with prime KG, Sprewell, and Cassel. A nikka has no complaints.

Thanks for being the last real nikka alive Kobe

The thing is after Jordan I thought I would never see anybody that could be mentioned with him in my lifetime, straight up

and his work ethic, confidence and pure dedication practically saved my life when my life was below zero degrees cold

I looked at his game and said if I can approach life the way he approached basketball I couldnt be stopped

so honestly, even as a Knicks fan this sh!t does hurt

Im a grown ass man and all that, but whats totally wack is the way he went out, flat out humiliated, nicca deserved better than that

I wouldnt even have wanted Reggie Miller to go out like that, despite the fact till this day I look at him as my first real life super villain because of the sh!t he did to the Knicks

I just have too much respect for the game of basketball to not care about these types of things

How fu*king dare anyone out there make fun of Kobe after all hes has been through.!

He lost his big man, he snapped his Achilles he had three fu*king season ending surgeries.

His owner turned out to be a user, a moron, and now he's going through a custody battle. All you people care about is FG% and getting props off of him.

HE IS A HUMAN! (ah! ooh!) What you dont realize is that The Mamba Bean is making you all this money and all you do is write a bunch of crap about him.

He hasn't performed on the court in years. His gameplan is called give me more for a reason because all you people want is MORE! MORE-MORE, MORE: MORE SHOTS! No one is There to see the rest of that scrub roster!

LEAVE HIM ALONE! You are lucky HE even performed for you b*stardS!
LEAVE KOBE ALONE! ......Please

I LOVE YOU KOBE

He's beefing with Vanessa Bryant again?
