This may be the biggest tragedy in the sports world ever....combining how his death was not self inflicted (drugs, suicide, speeding, etc.), how big he was in his sport, how globally renown he is, his daughter, etc.
So I admit I'm getting kind of tired of hearing about it. (I did like hearing about a 17 yo rookie Kobe and nobody Jimmy Fallon going on a beer run) But I just don't watch. I understand why there is so much coverage.

considering how much of a global sports star he was i really dont think its overblown at all.
the last 30 years of the nba went jordan-kobe-lebron as their biggest and brightest stars. considering how big the nba is globally i think this really is as big of a tragedy as its being made out to be.
the coverage is beginning to sound repetitive but i dont think you can downplay it all that much.
i dont watch the nba but the one thing i did like about kobe was his tenacity on the floor. kobe seemed like a guy that would have fit in during the physical times of the nba like the 80s and early 90s. his style was something i enjoyed, today its all flops and ticky tack fouls. he played a more physical game and played with a chip on his shoulder. he played 20 years in the nba, over half of his life was in the spotlight and for the lakers none the less. as a sports figure i really dont see another example of someone so large of a personality dying in such a tragic way. clemente was tragic but isnt as large of a sports figure while still alive.

"Show some respect you twat"
Who would ever say such things?And the whiny little cnt goes crying to the Mods. What a pssy.
Lot of lack of respect on this forum. You’re a problematic bitch nobody fucks with you Pullingqueers. Nothing makes me happier than knowing some bigot racists hate me. Thank you.
If I could I would report you. You’re a disgrace to this forum. You and your kkk buddies here are bunch of right wing extremist losers who take it up the ass routinely.
Dont you have some darts to throw in horsies? Got to be a horse race going on somewhere for you LOL.
Wasn’t too many years back when a father helped his son win the Daytona 500 and tragically died on the last lap.
I’m sure there are examples in almost every sport.
Enfuego, I don’t think it’s up to us to understand why someone reacts the way they do to a death, but be supportive or respectful.
As to whether I’ve had enough, if it’s something new I listen.
