He died in a helicopter crash with his 13 year old daughter. They were going to a basketball function of some kind. I saw it on the news during the Pro Bowl.

This video clip of him talking about his daughter hit me in the feels.

When Kobe was just out of high school, Jerry West of the Lakers arranged for him to do a private workout at Inglewood High School. Kobe was guarded by Michael Cooper, who had just retired. (Larry Bird said Michael Cooper was the best defensive player he ever played against.)

Cooper, an all-star defender, basically couldn't stop Kobe, who never played a game in college. They knew they had something special.

check yer grammar, his legend isn't dead, he is.
Just thought I'd return the favor of so many.

Was Kobe a rapist? Anyone want to take a poll on whether the accuser was telling the truth?

Leave it to our resident racist to say something like this.

Are the women who tweeted in these links racist for bringing this up as well? Did you even read the link Icarus?

I am genuinely interested whether people on this board think Kobe was guilty though.

Here I'll save you the click. This was tweeted out since Kobe died.

"what made the #KobeBryant case notable was the lengths to which the defense team would go to encourage that victim-blaming narrative. [ ] It’s impossible to know what Bryant's status would be if...the accuser’s past had not been viciously put on trial."

It's weird Ajax suddenly finds his moral compass when it comes to Kobe, who, for the record, I believed engaged in some form of sexual assault as outlined in this Wiki article:

When asked about bruises on the accuser's neck, Bryant admitted to "strangling" her during the encounter, stating that he held her "from the back" "around her neck", that strangling during sex was his "thing" and that he had a pattern of strangling a different sex partner (not his wife) during their recurring sexual encounters. When asked how hard he was holding onto her neck, Bryant stated, "My hands are strong. I don't know." Bryant stated that he assumed consent for sex because of the accuser's body language such as her kissing him, putting her hand on his penis, and bending over, but that he did not explicitly ask for her consent during the encounter. Bryant later said that he believed his accuser was capable of saying no because during the encounter he asked her if he could "cum on her face", and she said no.

But the fact that Ajax is so quick to believe Kobe is a rapist and somehow finds a very large compartment for his skepticism regarding Trump is, well, there you go. For the record I believe Trump is a rapist, since, you know he raped his ex-wife and hung out with Epstein and, you know, raped girls. And has sex with strippers. And married a soft-core porn actress. BUT I DIGRESS.

At least Trump's daughter married into a good family!

In 2004, Jared Kushner's father Charles, a real estate magnate in New Jersey and New York, pleaded guilty to a tax fraud scheme in which he claimed hundreds of thousands of dollars in phony deductions for office expenses at the partnerships he created to manage the apartment buildings he owned. Kushner, a major donor to the Democratic Party, also pleaded guilty to fraudulently making hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions in the names of employees and associates who didn't know their names were being used. Finally, Kushner pleaded guilty to retaliating against a cooperating witness in the case — his sister. He did so by setting a trap in which he hired a prostitute to lure his sister's husband into a sexual encounter in a New Jersey hotel, where the action was secretly photographed and videotaped. Kushner sent the pictures and tape to his sister as revenge, apparently motivated by Kushner's belief that she and her husband were helping U.S. Attorney Christie and his prosecutors.

So. You know. Sure, Kobe assaulted that girl (in my opinion, #justbelieveher), but I find it head scratchingly weird Ajax cared enough to make a comment about this while waving away the various and sundry moral failings of his political party leaders.

At least subgenius doesn't pretend to care about something like morality!

How did Kobe get away with this in a country with a legal/judicial system that is so systemically racist against African Americans?
