Turned into a complete asshole? I think not. Inherentness is almost certain.


About Kobe: Like Lebron, Kobe was an astounding basketball player. Again, like Lebron, he destroyed everything around himself that did not service his immediate ego. I am a long time celtics fan, but truly respected the lakers. He destroyed that organization.

May his soul, and his family, have peace. I dread his fate(to miss out on sharing all that he built). Originally Posted by kehaar

Ego is a double edged sword. too much and it becomes a barrier to success, not enough and you don't try to succeed at all.

new reports now say there were 9 people on board that died. beyond Kobe and his daughter, the only other named person at this point to have died is Orange Coast College head baseball coach John Altobelli.

Altobelli was to begin his 24th season as the college’s baseball coach. He was named the 2019 American Baseball Coaches Association’s national coach of the year following the team’s state championship.

You think Adolph had any compassion for the Jews? Really? Is that what you are trying to imply?

And of course I have more compassion for dead immigrants trying to cross a desert to feed their families by living in a foriegn country waiting on assholes like you than some rich basketballer getting killed fucking helicoptering back and forth to his kids basketball game.

But that does not mean I have no compassion for his family....how will they get by now in life? No father, no money....oh wait, they still have copious amounts of money and opportunity.


So again...fuck your Celtics! Originally Posted by WTF
Come on now WTF, the OP had a good post to start this thread. I'm a die hard Lakers fan. I don't know why I give a shit about Kobe because I highly doubt he would remotely give a shit about me but for 20 years, I watched him play. For Lakers nation, it's a punch in the gut. To read that his daughter and other people perished makes it even worse. This isn't political and the OP stated as much. It's sad. That's it. There is no need to get goofy about the rest of this tragic story.

How would I have gotten this nugget from Wacko without yanking his chain?



Adolph Hitler had more compassion for Jews that you have about anything.

WTF, TWK doesn't come across as someone who takes himself too seriously and you don't as well to me. I know you guys do your own thing in here but is this really the thread to do so? It was a thoughtful thread from a Celtics fan and I'll leave it at that.

To be honest, most Celtics fans would be happy that an iconic Laker was dead so I appreciate the sentiment from the OP.

for those non-Celtic fans, Johnny Most was the longtime radio announcer for the Celtics. never a dull moment for him.
