I remember thinking how beautiful that was when they first showed it. The father daughter relationship they had.

Seeing it now, it makes it so much more tragic.

Kinda hard to cancel at the last second. Lots of people pay for tickets, travel, hotels etc..You alos set a precedent, what happens when the next player dies. Does it show disrespect to cancel for Love but not for the next one. Just saying.......I don't know....

The NBA is kind of on a tight ship schedule wise and making those games up would be a pain. Also, while I certainly understand the sentiment I’m not sure if it’s not just best to try to get through the games and make it through the day. Obviously Kobe’s youth and closeness to the game and players still is unique and makes it different than say, Bill Russell. But I’m also not sure what canceling a Wizards/Hawks game full of players who didn’t play with or know Kobe will do.

WONDER whats going thru Shaquille Oneals mind right about now..

Hopefully a lot of regret and remorse.

No way?

I just watched them do it live with my own eyes

I can't wait to see the video of that. I don't think that's been done before

It sucks, it's incredibly sad, but it's not 9/11.

Right, and the NBA didn’t cancel games when Stern died a few weeks ago. But man it just doesn’t feel right to have NBA games happening after a tragedy like this.

I know I've never seen it.

No. It isn't. I'm just sad because I think two young girls died in that accident with two parents along with the pilot. It's depressing Kobe or not. The fact it is Kobe doesn't make it any worse for me.

Hopefully a lot of regret and remorse.

yup, that's really what I was getting at.

Touching

The crowd in San Antonio is silent while the game is being played. Very eerie.

Almost like a wake.

Can't remember where I saw this video first, but it was one of the first things that came to mind right after I heard the news:

Luke 6:37 37"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

You have no right to judge this man in that manner.

FYI, his daughter was on the helicopter and perished too.

Amen about not judging. And he was a Christian from what I've read. Either way, that's between him and God.

This still hasn’t sank in

i was Kobes biggest hater but I admired his mamba mentality

I remember one quote he said “I dont believe in If my best wasnt good enough then atleast i gave it my best”

i used that when i played football....the fact he wanted to rip your heart out made me appreciate him all the more
