    Will a day come when I am happy to see these and not just feel sad for our loss?

    His death has left me grieving longer than any I can think of.

    Same.
    I think he transcended basketball with his unique personality and how he carried himself.
    He went even further with the way he proudly shared his wisdom with young players, he really enjoyed it and that makes us imagine that Reaves would be a step further with Mamba around, or Tatum or Booker probably forcing their way into our team sooner rather than later.
    Then the way he embraced his non-basketball life with entertainment productions, with the explosion of media content, I can imagine him having the greatest podcast or creating multiple TV shows and getting better at it as he progresses. Because that's Kobe, he relentlessly seeks to improve in anything he puts his mind at.
    Finally how he was involved in women's basketball and teaching his girls. I think he would have coached in the WNBA to boost the league's reputation and we would have seen an even bigger growth than we have seen recently.

    He's so much more than a basketball player. He influenced everything he was involved in and I can't help but feel that all these areas are a bit poorer because he's not around. I never knew any person like him in terms of having an impact in so many people and I feel that we lose a bit every day for not having him. His the biggest influencer of my own personality and I imagine I consumed every single piece of content that he was on, trying to absorb as much as I can. I miss his wisdom. I miss him every day...

    Very well done. I personally, would have left the angels wings out of it since Angels are completely separate beings and humans don’t just pop out wings when they arrive in Heaven.

    What a beautiful tribute to Kobe and GiGi. Say what you want about Jeanie and the Lakers brass, but few professional organizations immortalize their star players like the Lakers do.

    They are going to do 3? I mean, I get doing two, but why three? Is it going to be one by himself, one with Gigi, and one with Shaq?

    One of many common misconceptions about Christianity in general. Humans also don't immediately start playing the harp.

    It’s no accident that the narrative of sitting around on clouds playing harps is the most widespread one- what kind of existence is that???

    Nope. Bagpipes. Everyone has instant knowledge of the bagpipes and we individually start playing different songs all at once.

    Lol
    Jeff Teague: « If Stef Curry wins another champion title, he will be on the same level as Kobe Bryant »
    Jeff Teague believes that Curry lacks the fifth title to reach the Kobe level.

    «Stef curry is already the best point guard in history. Top 5? If he wins another ring, he will definitely enter the Top 5. Not many players are better than him.

    If Curry wins another champion title, he will definitely be on the same level as Kobe Bryant», – said the former player NBA.

    P.S He's not going to win another playoff series

    Nah, he still wouldn’t be better than Kobe.
    Currystans conveniently forget that Kobe was an elite defender while wearing the #8 jersey.
    Plus Curry couldn’t dream up some of the drive/dunks over multiple players at the rim.
    Sure, Curry may be the best shooter of all time, but he’s not close to Kobe in every other single aspect of the game.
