hahaha, I can feel you mate, lots of us got burn today because of that Jazz vs Rockets game.
Jazz was too good with good teams but has become a shitty team against the Rockets today, and they never even have a lead within the game, (correct me if I'm wrong).

I can't believe the Jazz loss against the Rockets.
Are they rigging this game, Rockets without Harden, Westbrook, and Capela and yet they manage to win on the road, unbelievable.

Dallas manage to win but the scores didn't favor your pick as it's ended up with low scoring game. Luka once again carry his team with leading the
scoring stats. While Schröder unable to lift OKC as CP3 is out for this match.

After reading this. I cried again.
I have the same thought when I read it. I see it all as fake news. I don't want to believe it.
I thought I was okay this morning having a good night sleep from all the crying yesterday.

Anyways, Kobe will want us to move on but never forget about him and all his lectures for the world.
His inspirational phrases for working hard with everything we do specially the ones that we love to do.

Of course his acts too, inspiring those young basketball enthusiast to pursue their dreams and never let it go just because of one failure.
I would love to see new players with the same kind of love for basketball just like him.

How can we move forward in a day when NBA players like JT who was inspired by the Black Mamba?

See how Doc Rivers sobs during interview? It's really hard to move on, there are NBA games today but I'm sure the whole atmosphere is still sad because of the passing of Kobe.

Dallas can still find their offence even without Doncic, while the OKC will be playing a faster pace without Paul, that's what I'm thinking so since we can't trust on which team would win, I think talking the over 225.5 for game total would be a wiser choice.

Was supposed to say the same thing and its just normal for people to mourn yet we know that a Basketball legend had died.Its impossible for the entire basketball community to move on in a matter of day?

We have some big game today, Dallas vs OKC, the battle between the number 5 and number 7, or let's say the battle of the playoff teams.
OKC is 7-3 in the last 10 while Dallas is 6-4, who will win tonight, is it going to be the road team or the more consistent team OKC.
CP3  and Doncic are both out I guess, they are the stars of the team so can we still expect an exciting game?

I just want to pay my respects and give condolences to Kobe Bryant the GOAT and his daughter Gianna. The best player in the NBA in recent history, arguably of all time. His work ethic, mind, respect,mentality was an example for millions if not billions of people and definitely was a person that helped people increase positivity and achieve their personal goals. I also want to give condolences to everyone else that lost their life because of that horrific accident and pray for their families. Words cannot describe this.

Am I reading this right? You use the word "still" mourn even it's just almost a day when the accident happened? What do you want? People should not mourn since its almost 24 hours since the incident? You want people to move on already? Are you sick on reading some of the comments here about what happened? There are lots of threads outside to play around.

Just allow people to mourn. Of course, people will move on. We will be there soon. But don't expect that to happen overnight.

I hope you just mistakenly constructed your statement.

Yeah you said it best at the end.  Sad part is that multie families have been devastated by this accident.  The one family lost the dad, mom and one of the kids leaving behind 2 other kids.  They lost both their parents and a sibling in the matter of moments.  Tough day all around , sad to see kobe didnt get to enjoy the second part of his life. 

Rest in peace black mamba. Even after a day after his tragic death, people still mourn about what happened. Come on guys let's move on, NBA will never be the same without an icon, a true legend which inspire a lot of talents in the current era of basketball and that's what Kobe Bryant is in the world of basketball.

Millions never met the BlackMamba but he truly put some of the countries in grief.

His loss was surprised and send a big shock to the whole sports nation.

Rest in Peace Kobe Bryant and to other people as well who bid farewell on that crash. The name Kobe Bryant will not be forgotten.

I'm still trying to convince myself that "this is not real". I'm hoping it's just another fake news spreading as usual in social media. I've seen first some of Kobe's links about the tragedy on my social media group chats that's why I think it's just another day of fake news. But when I browse my news feed, oh my, this is f**cking real. I was shocked as just recently his name was on the sports news as LeBron passes him on the all-time scoring list.

We are not related to Kobe but as a long-time NBA enthusiast and witness his greatness during his prime, we really feel the pain. Just imagine how much more to the one who was inspired by him and keeping in touch with him.

No words can describe what's the feeling. Much painful to Bryant's family that not even the head of their family, but a young girl, full of dreams, was also killed.

Big condolences too for the other family that dies on the crash. I can't imagine the pain they are dealing with.

I'm not a big fan of basketball. But the charm of Kobe Bryant can really touch life. He really is a true legend. Death by accident is truly tragic. But this is life that must go on. I am sure this incident will make the Lakers players motivated and play all-out to win the NBA championship this season. as a tribute to their late legend.

It's really sad news for us, This year hasn't yet a good thing rather than a couple of bad news, It's really horrible news for basketball followers that Kobe Bryant has died yesterday in a helicopter crash in Los Angeles, He was a Phenomenon in the Basketball world, he played around 20 years for the Los angles Lakers and won five times NBA Champion, he was really a popular figure who loved by a lot of people, the most horrible news is that his one of a daughter has also died in that helicopter crash, undoubtedly he will be remembered in every basketball followers. Rest in peace legend.

Kobe why why why?

Your name is actively seen in NBA news. Your basketball activity is also active. Then in just a glimpse.... you are now gone?

Condolence to Bryant family and to those who also died on the helicopter crash.

You will be missed.

He just had waaay too much left in him that he could give both to his personal life and family but also to all of us as well, this dude didn't went into hiding after he retired, he kept on working on multiple stuff and kept being in public eye, he was still guests in late night shows and still gave us plenty of dreams, it was way too early for him to leave like this, not the helicopter he loved so much that he took tens of times every single year, just one pilot mistake shouldn't worth this much punishment.

I remember when I was just 11 years old me and my friend both played 1v1 every day for hours and we tried to mimic our favorite players, he was Iverson and I was Kobe and they played against each other in the finals but we played in the streets, now I am 30 years old and I still have only one jersey in my life, never bought another jersey, never had anyone else in any other sport ever, the only time I ever bought a jersey was to celebrate his move to number 24, been wearing that since this morning, can't believe he is gone, it feels like a surreal dream that I will eventually wake up from but it just keeps on going.

I hope his family will be better, this is probably the saddest news they will ever have in their whole life, there will never be another news as horrible ever again, they need both friends and family with them but probably some professional as well to get through such a huge tragedy.

The Kobe Bryant Effect:
Giannis Antetokoumnpo deleted all of his social media acc.
Kyrie and Tatum didn't played their respective games
Trae Young and Devin Booker ended up with 24 FG attempts with 8 rebounds.
At the start of the spurs-raptors game, they make sure for both teams to get 24 sec violation as tribute
LeBron cried when he heard the news
Lots of tributes around the earth was given to the legend.

Rest In Peace Kobe, we will always love you. Your legacy that was left behind will always be remembered.

Imagine the Lakers of 2020 will be the champion and LeBron shouting "This is for Kobe!" And all will be emotional.

Expect to see more tributes coming within this week. The wound is fresh from the loss of one of the best basketball players in the world. Basketball fans are hurt today and tributes are one of the ways to express it.
