Kobe and Gigi Bryant Memorial Thread (RIP)

Crazy breh, I just came back home from bringing my 8 year old to taekwondo, and decided to take a nap.
Woke up from my nap to a bunch of texts and calls from no less than 40 people.
And before I unlocked my phone, I saw texts and calls from people that NEVER text or call me, so off jump I IMMEDIATELY knew it was death-related. Only thing was, I thought someone I personally knew died.
When I unlocked my phone and saw all the "Kobe died" texts, I jumped out of bed, put on CNN. And as I was turning on my desktop to log on to the Coli, the tears started to flow down my face.
What Bron said about Kobe lookin the happiest he’s ever seen him these last 3 years hit me hard..enjoying his daughters and work as a writer and then this bullshyt happens
man, I’m about to be sad again..life is really unpredictable
Pac’s death affected me greatly too..but he was wildin and you expected him to go soon
Kobe is the worst celeb/athlete death ever by far

Kobe just got to where he could enjoy life with his family after sacrificing for 20 years in order to reach the status he did. At least he did get to spend quality time with his daughters and wife and seemed to be at peace of mind and content in retirement. Still does not take away from him not being here and us getting to see him fully get involved in the NBA again even if it was only on TNT or Espn as a commentator. Over a week later and i still say that this shyt fukking sucks and the sports world in general does not feel right without Kobe being in it.
Has Kobe ever talked about death in a interview etc?

Eaves: The 2008 Finals, Boston game six, and [the Lakers] got absolutely housed in a game. Boston just blew them out from the jump and it was not even close. And so after everything was done, ended up back at the team hotel there in Boston and Kobe and some of the guys were hanging out in the bar. A lot of people around the team were there and the bar was closed because it’s after 2 a.m., but they had set up Kobe and the guys with some drinks. It’s kinda somber because people are like “Damn, we just lost. We got blown out.” And Kobe’s sitting there.
I walk up and he goes, “Hey man, take some of this beer, I can’t drink all of this by myself.”
So I took a beer and I said, “How you doing man? You good?” And I thought he was going to be kinda mad and down.
He was upbeat like, “Oh man, I’m good. We gonna bust their ass next year.”
And that was like, that just kinda stood out to me … He just saw it as a stepping stone to getting back to winning those championships.

Yep. Kobe would have looked death right in the eye and grabbed it head on
One of my OGs passed a few years back and I'm in the hospital room with him while he was still conscious, tears started coming down my eyes
He looked at me like
and said "soldiers dont cry"
I can see Kobe doing that too

I ain’t going to derail the thread here because I’m one of millions who grew up watching Kobe (especially living here in Southern California) but Tupac died at 25 fukking years old.
Think about that. That man had conquered the world, did all he did, and left this earth at 25.
Once more - RIP both GOATs
