It's been bizarre in Britain, headline news with updates on the hour. No one here knew who he was 36 hours ago, now we're being told how much he inspired us all.
Rather no one here knew/talked about the rape story.
Shortly after his retirement, the two set out on a helicopter ride and Bryant didn’t tell Pelinka of his daredevil plan. Bryant and the pilot looked at each other and Bryant nodded subtly. Suddenly, to Pelinka’s horror, the helicopter zoomed into military maneuvers designed to terrify the passengers , with the coup de grace coming near the end when the pilot shut off the engine in midair.
One fewer rapist.
The cops came, and one fewer reckless driver on the street.
The Washington Post suspended of its writers after she posted several tweets describing the rape allegations against him from 2003.
A lot of this strikes me as performative.
That woman is receiving constant death threats now.
For mentioning the fact that Kobe strangled and raped a girl, by a his own fucking admission.
there are some discussions being had about replacing jerry west with kobe for the NBA logo. i hope it happens.
If Kobe were doing 25 to life like he deserved, he'd still be alive.
He's literally dead because he got away with rape (and didn't want to sit in traffic).
rip inventor of the kobe beef
The NBA killed Kobe to draw attention away from the news disaster of China’s latest plague. People are dropping dead all over now, as the plague spread to Japan, Australia, Kazakhstan, and India, as well as US and France. China did this to get breathing room.
Maybe the NFL could make its logo Ray Lewis and Marvin Harrison.
In addition to what's already been stated, Kobe was a shit teammate who played an antiquated, inefficient style and refused to evolve.
Also, anything less than Vatican-proclaimed sainthood for Mike Tyson upon his death is going to be insufficient now.

I hope not, if anything replace it with MJ but wait until he is gone.
You gotta pay Jordan if you wanna use him as a logo.
NBA didn't pay West a dime to use him all these years. They ain't gonna change it.
At least Tyson went to jail and suffered actual consequences (like losing three years of the prime of his career and potentially hundreds of millions of dollars).
Doesn't change or excuse what he did, but at least he didn't get away with it.
this is pretty much it. Kobe admitted to raping the woman, without using the word rape. He admitted that she didn't consent, that she didn't want it. But he didn't use the word rape to describe what he did.
"But he spoke Italian..."
Fuck Italy and their M5S enablist mentality.
