The celebrity worship on this has been insane.

This trips me up so much about this. People who aren't even basketball fans acting like a family member died. :confused:

Some sports caster compared his death to the JFK assassination, just like when he was killed everyone will remember what they were doing when they heard Kobe Bryant was killed.

That was one of the more outlandish statements I heard. It's a tragedy no doubt, but ease up on the hyperbole.

I can sort of understand sports channels doing all these “In Memoriam” type stuff, but actual news organizations jumping on this wagon is mind-boggling. News should give objective facts, then move the F on.

It sort of reminds me of the media shills would need to tell us every time that hideous shebeast michael obama waddled onto the screen just how incredibly beautiful he was.

So glad this rapidly devolved into the white supremacist thread I knew it always would be. Good job, retards.
