Would this reaction be the same of Lebron James if it happened to him?

Kinda ironic, that it’s West who picked up Kobe (as well as Shaq).

You’d be surprised how many teams have gone up in smoke.
Soccer team in Europe, hockey team in Soviet Union (Russia? oops don’t recall).
Yet, the game goes on.

Ah, the MLB logo - as my son thought, it was a duck logo.
Indeed, it does look like a wood duck coming out of the reeds toward its egg?

Seriously other teams are retiring the number? He wasn’t even a current player!
Heck I’m against the nonsense about every team having to “retire” 42 in baseball.

west has turned out to be a great GM or VP or whatever his title is. Memphis had their best teas when he was there. The Lakers tanked when he left for Memphis.

Lots of first stone throwers around here lately.
No respect for the dead and the grieving. More than one person died in that crash.

Yea, the Dallas Mavericks are retiring his number.
FOX is reporting that the NBA is delaying the next game too.

Then there was the soccer team in the Andes where the survivors ate the dead players.

Didn't nine people die in this accident?
Media making out like Kobe was the only one who was important.

Interesting. Confirms my suspicion that if he had been an actual rapist, we probably would have not heard of it and she would have not pursued. How many staid quiet on Michael Jackson?

Does the typical fan know it was Jerry West? I did not, but then I don’t follow the NBA.

I would bet that the vast majority of people who want this are ill-informed/under-informed voters, if they vote at all.
