Re: RIP Kobe Bryant
I was just reading on the west coast this morning that Lebron James was concerned about surpassing Kobe and Kobe early this morning saying he didn't care. Next time I opened up my laptop for news and thought, whoa, Kobe dead?

My favorites are all Lakers ... Kareem, Magic, Shaq, Kobe
Hard to believe the youngest goes first ... this is totally messed up

Re: RIP Kobe Bryant
Kobe (and Shaq) was always the adversary against my teams such as Sac. Kings, Spurs, and Portland.
I did not appreciate him until toward the end of his playing days, and post-baseketball.
He was truly the last of the "old school" of players. Most of all, I was happy and waiting to see what else he could do. In some ways, that was the true measure of success.

Re: RIP Kobe Bryant
He truly looked like he was enjoying the rest of what life has to offer with his kids and community involvement. Must have been really an awesome thing to get invited by Kobe to go for helicopter ride. Parents and kids and coaches. Everything about his retirement days seemed pretty cool.

Re: RIP Kobe Bryant
Yeah, he seemed to really be enjoying life during his retirement. So sad. Really feel for his wife and kids.UnBiasFan wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2020 6:48 pmHe truly looked like he was enjoying the rest of what life has to offer with his kids and community involvement.

Re: RIP Kobe Bryant
I recall reading something from People Magazine on how they "pre-write" the story on famous people. Meaning, they wrote about the dead of Michael Jackson a few years before his dead, and continue to update it. So when it does happened, it can go to print ASAP, with a quick revision of the details.
People magazine does not disclose who they work on. I'm guess they were just as ready when Prince died. They probably got something already written on Lamar Odom, or Boy George (with drug issues) for example. Or maybe Paul McCartney (because of age.)
I don't think they wrote anything for Kobe, saved in the files. There was "no reason" to.
