I saw this too and didn't know if it was safe to post. Def seems real but didn't know if it was something that needed posted. But since someone else brought it up already.
If that becomes the case. That would be great as an fan. But regardless, Kobe was an global ambassador for the NBA. His death has impacted the world. It's best to retire both jerseys.This just makes me think of the futurama joke where this has happened so many times over the years that eventually all the whole numbers are retired and playiers are left using fractions on their clothes.
It's weird with people that are famous I think. I really don't know where I fall on it. On one hand, everyone talks about how great Kobe was and how he was a role model.I'm still just absolutely bummed.
Just a side note: What does it say about someone as a person to see a thread FILLED with people mourning and sad about another individuals death, and then decide that this is the ABSOLUTE BEST MOMENT to come in and start talking shit about that person? Like, if you were at a funeral would you start talking about the guest of honor being an adulterer? Or would you maybe, you know, hold your tongue? Death threads on this site are just a constant reminder of that Ice T quote: "Social media has made people way too comfortable with the idea of being disrespectful and not being punched in the mouth." (I paraphrased.)
Sorry mods. I will celebrate Bill Cosby's death when that thread gets posted here. If the site wants to chase me off after that moment, feel free
those lunch rooms also had people throwing their trash away shouting "kobe"
I rescinded Sanjuro's ban - it was thought that it was more celebration/trolling regarding the news, but it seems it we misread it.
what are you talking about, these people are a wreck and should be with their loved ones
Anyone watching MSNBC? Is this real?

good for him if so.Eh I feel like recent interactions had shown Kobe n Shaq were in a healthy place about all that stuff.
this is such a powerful legacy to have. to just have your name so closely associated to just the concept of *throwing*? unbelievablethose lunch rooms also had people throwing their trash away shouting "kobe"
I'm not saying that I approve of it. I'm just saying what *might* be a reason why games haven't been cancelled.what are you talking about, these people are a wreck and should be with their loved ones
Its the anonymity the internet provides. You're not going to get punched in the face saying things online
They took back the ban and they have been banning the trolls.Mods ban a poster for posting a clip from a Kobe Bryant videogame but fail to ban the actual antagonistic posters.
It's based on context. Like if I was still a mod and Trump passed, I'd probably just turn off my computer for the day.
The Importance of Being Respectful
Please be respectful when posting in threads. This includes when you post about the topic at hand and especially when you address other members. Do not make unfounded and inflammatory accusations to discredit and/or antagonize your fellow members (such calling them a shill, astroturfer, etc). Do not shame users based on their post count, avatar choice, or what community they belong to. Avoid hurling insults or making disagreements personal. If someone else is causing trouble, report them rather than trying to reciprocate.
Do not send hostile or confrontational private messages to other members, especially if such contact is unsolicited. This kind of behavior, if reported, will result in a ban. If a member you have privately contacted indicates that they do not wish to continue the conversation, disengage. If you receive an unwanted and hostile message, report it so that moderators can investigate.
Respect a Diverse Audience
What might seem harmless or funny to you can be hurtful to others. Exclusionary behavior, casual or otherwise, is not tolerated.
Don't forget about the pilot's family.Feel bad for both families here, 2 kids died with one of their parents. It's moments like these where I just think of the last moments and start tearing up. Unbelievably sad story.
Just ignore that idiot. Probably getting off right now from all the talk about them.So why isnt this sweeney person banned yet? The person has done nothing but derail this thread with attention seeking bs.

I kinda hear a K sound, too. I wonder if she was getting Lakers and Nicks mixed up in the most unfortunate way possible.
