That’s insane. That goes to show that you can’t take life for granted. It can literally be taken at any moment. RIP Kobe. Great player. Great guy.

The first great basketball player in my peer group.....I felt like I grew up with the man

ESPN needs to seriously think about cutting from the Pro Bowl to report on this the next few hours tbh

You’re telling me I was 12 years old when he was drafted by the hornets than got traded to the lakers. Dude was an amazing ball player. And he was killing it after retirement

Dang he woke up this morning thinking his whole life was ahead of him. It can be taken away instantly.

[J817]

LeBron just passed him on the all-time scoring list last night. This is crazy irony.

 

[J817]

ESPN reporting it now

 

[Sarek]

OMG i can't believe it.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Wow, I'm sincerely shook.

That is unbelievable.

Rest in peace man. Feel awful for his family, smh.

He was the major villian in the only championship run Ive got to see the Celtics make. Losing him is hitting pretty hard
