Re: Kobe Bryant, daughter Gianna, and several others die in helicopter crash

This has given me the heartiest chuckle thus far.

Spoiler

Humor is my favorite coping mechanism, once you can stomach it. Getting to the funny stories and things like Mack posted--celebrating the recently deceased--is a healthy and important part of the grieving process.

One of my closest friends lost his younger brother to cancer this past Christmas Day. Only 35 years old, with an 11-month-old son, on the most family-oriented holiday of the year. The type of stuff you fear above all else. Tragic in every sense of the word. His memorial service was a brutal ordeal but the reception afterward was a unique experience for me: his brother was a such a "life of the party" guy and so many people had crazy stories about him that the group spent most of the afternoon laughing, with the occasional tears mixed in. It is the only memorial service I've ever been to where by the end of it my face was hurting from laughing. I think it's exactly what his brother would have wanted.

I love the idea of this. One way to make it hit home even more would be a headline like this: “Death of Kobe Bryant gives Knicks timely excuse for their latest 24 game losing streak”. That way it makes it seem like Being this bad is just commonplace for the Knicks

Anybody ever been to Shaq’s restaurant in LA?

If anyone's wondering, the memorial will be tomorrow.

1pm est, 10am pst. Expected to last about 3 hours.

The date is so fitting though. 2/24/20. No need to explain significance of either of those 3 numbers.

Not sure which network(s) will air it. Sounds like it'll be available online easily though.

Probably won’t actually start up til like 130 if I had to guess.

For those who don’t know already, the family already buried Kobe and his Daughter about a week ago.

I wonder how big this service will be.

The Michael Jackson one was obviously a huge one, as was Princess Diana.

I'm definitely fighting my work to put this on our big tv after lunch.

I thought I'd grown to better accept the reality of this tragedy over the last couple of weeks but reading sentences like the one above still throws me for a loop. Like, I can't believe that's a statement of fact in 2020, that Kobe Bryant was recently buried alongside his teenage daughter.

Maybe time to retire the crying Jordan meme for good, out of respect.

*Memorial happens about a month after*

Me: Time has passed. I won't be as sad, now I can really reflect/celebrate.

*Memorial airs*

Also Me:


Beyonce performance and especially that MJ speech were really special.

Vanessa ending it with "mommy", now that one hurts.

Shaq: Kobe, there’s no “I” in team.

Kobe: I know, but there’s an M-E in that mother****er

Shaq: Just get the rebound, he’s not passing.

That story was priceless by shaq.

During the WNBA draft tonight they're gonna make Gianna, Alyssa and Payton honorary draft picks.



Just when I think I can watch this all fine, they show Kobe and his daughter and all the emotions come back. We've been so occupied with what's been going on the past month, cant believe it's been 3 months. Nothing seems real.

It's really been 2 years, but it feels so much longer. Still doesn't feel real.

Statue goes up at the crash site for Kobe and Gianna.
