Superstar: Kobe Bryant (Documentary Detailing His Last Days Premiers on ABC @ 10PM ET Tonight)

[Optimus Prime]

This was probably going to air on the anniversary until Vanessa requested that no one do any kind of acknowledgements about it
It makes no sense to run it in the middle of August
Its been on the shelf for 6 months and ABC just wants to run it since they don't have any new programming at the moment

 

[Stick Up Kid]

the TV documentary is centered around ”the days leading up to his death”…wake up, smarty pants

Ok, so because "Rev" says there's no information, ABC 20/20 a long running investigation show with unlimited resources shouldn't produce this documentary.. got it.

By airing a documentary on a famous person who tragically passed?

yall be fake outraged about everything

 

[Karume]

No

 

[RammerJammer]

Those random realizations that Kobe isn’t with us any more hurts, don’t even seem real

 

[New Jeruzalem Journalist]

You mean like the media has done with every superstar that has been killed? from MLK to Tupac to Biggie, to Roberto Clemente to Nipsey etc.

Its their job to investigate

By the logic of some of these posts, having an RIP thread that's been stickied for over 18 months should be considered exploitation as well, shouldn't it?

So moving forward, it's distasteful to ever have any type of documentary aired concerning one of the most famous people to ever live in the past century?

Why?

Because he's dead?

 

[McPiff]

smh

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

Yeah, Im a lil bothered by this. Not sure why yet, I guess ill wait until it drops but it still feels a little too soon

Agree. Kobe needs the 5 part documentary of his whole life. But this also just makes me sad again

Don’t Gayle work for ABC?

Either way, I think I’ll pass….

 

[Paper Boi]

What can it possibly say though? It was a 100% unexpected death, and it was just another regular day where he was heading to his daughter’s game.

IMO, the only true info that is worth knowing is whether they knew it was unsafe to fly in that area on that day.

exactly.

this weird to me, especially this soon.


hope his family getting paid off of it though.

i don't see any reason to watch personally.

Gotcha, Robin cool

But a lot of espn opps gon get in on this I’m sure. I think as a Kobe stan I’ll always have a weird view of the media since they spent so many years talking shyt and giving backhanded compliments when he was alive post Colorado. How I’m supposed to believe they gon suddenly show real love when they been fake?

Unless Vanessa, Kobe’s fam, or the Lakers do it ima be weary. We seen how willing the NBA is to let their superstars get disrespected in the media for ratings so I can’t trust em neither.
