Man this sucks

Man I don’t even know what to say, I’m ****in devastated. Only celebs I ever cried or teared up over was 2Pac and Michael Jackson, this one hurts. I was such a huge fan as a kid, I feel like I know the ****in guy. I remember watching him get drafted, I remember watching him win the contest. My classmates used to laugh at me for wearing his purple KB8 II shoes. I remember my Uncle giving me his Adidas KB8 worn shoes for Christmas as a joke but I was so ****in excited and I wanted to keep them. I remember trading all my MJ, Shaq and anyone else cards for Kobe cards. I got hundreds of them at my mom’s house still and I could never get his Topps Chrome rookie card. I remember watching him debut his song on Jenny Jones or one of those shows with Tyra Banks and trying to buy the CD. Kobe always been my favorite player and I used to swear to people he was going to the Knicks, I can’t ****in believe he’s gone. It’s ****in sick, I can’t even watch it on TV without crying, I can’t believe he’s gone. I can’t believe his child is gone, I keep thinking about his sit down with Barnes and Jackson and how much joy he had talking about his daughter and her playing and learning basketball. I feel so bad for his family, this one really hurts. I’m getting drunk as hell.

me too bro. I’m getting drunk

Just thinking about all the dudes under 35 that grew up in LA. I know those dudes can't think straight.

That’s me and my friends.

a bunch of us meeting up for drinks.

i called my parents cuz you never know man.

 

[yobyellav]

Damn I just lost it. Been sober for a few weeks but this is too much. About to go cop a bottle.

Not sure when to take you seriously on here, but if this is one of those times, don’t do it. You must’ve stopped for a reason.

Bro.... this hurt man. Not like this smh

This pic always get me.

You can tell Kobe was fully embracing being a sports dad.

Travesty that Gianna won't be able to carry on his name in college and the WNBA.

 

[MajinZuub]

I just can't process this **** man. I wouldn't give 2 ****s about basketball or sports if it wasn't for him.
Dude was legit my idol when I was growing up, I never tried to emulate another person like I did him.

I'm ******* sick man.

 

[617collector]

MSNBC reported that it was the pilot, Kobe, Gianna, her teammate and the teammate's parent on board

 

[N41D]

I'm sick...

This is crazy.

That’s the single greatest late game killer in my hoops consciousness.
