I was so hoping this was fake.
My husband is from LA and a huge Lakers fan so, of course, our kids are as well. They were just little things when Kobe joined the team. For all their youth, he was the Lakers. My son and daughter both said it is almost like losing a member of the family.
We hated what happened in Colorado but believe that he broke his marriage vows but did not rape that girl. Maybe too much benefit of the doubt but NONE of us were there and KNOW what actually occurred.
I also hated his politics but he was one of the few that I could still admire and like regardless.
This is a tragic loss for his family and that there are some here celebrating it makes me sad and furious. It is no better than what leftists do.
I pray for his soul and grieve for his family.

I agree with your points...
I found out about his death when I used “California” for the keyword search in FR...
About Colorado incident...At first, I thought he probably raped her...Then I heard more stories about her. Then my position became that I am not sure what happened...
Yes, I know that Kobe was a liberal guy who did not like President Trump...There are many people who do not like President...So my response to his political positions is “whatever”...
He was an excellent basketball player...I think that he also was a father who loved his kids very much...
RIP Kobe...I really feel sorry for his wife and two remaining kids.
