Yeah. I'm hearing a lot of "play for Kobe" and "Kobe would want the games to go on" and I agree with all that in the abstract. That definitely fits with Kobe's personality and his love of the game, and there is an eloquence to honoring him in such a way.
Except it ignores the human factor. That these games are played by human beings with human emotions and they were just given a gut shot--some of them who knew him personally or were close to him, a devastating one. The idea that this can all just be put aside because Kobe loved the game so much and wouldn't want to be the cause of it stopping isn't realistic. Give the players a beat. Give them a chance to wrap their minds around this and process it, and then go out and "play for Kobe". |
Raptors and Spurs took 24 second violations to start their game in remembrance of Kobe.

Yeah, the Sheriff's office stated that the flight's manifest had 9 people listed as aboard (8 passengers and 1 pilot). They will not be able to confirm that count until the coroner issues their report and no names will be released until next of kin are notified.

That sounds just like the disgusting establishment that is TMZ. I would be embarrassed if I worked for them.

Orange Coast College baseball coach John Altobelli among helicopter crash victims
Quote: |
Orange Coast College baseball coaching legend John Altobelli was among the victims in Sunday's helicopter crash in Calabasas, California that also killed NBA legend Kobe Bryant.
Altobelli was a coach at OCC for 27 years, where he led the Pirates to four state titles and notched more than 700 wins. He was 56.
"John meant so much to not only Orange Coast College, but to baseball," OCC Athletic Director Jason Kehler said in a statement. "He truly personified what it means to be a baseball coach. The passion that he put into the game, but more importantly his athletes, was second to none -- he treated them like family. Our deepest condolences go out to the Altobelli family during this time of tragedy."
ESPN's Jeff Passan spoke to Mets star Jeff McNeil -- who played for Altobelli in 2012 when he managed the Brewster Whitecaps, a collegiate, summer baseball team in the Cape Cod League.
"He's one of the main reasons I'm still playing professional baseball," McNeil told ESPN of Altobelli. |

I had been hoping for a while that the news of their deaths was untrue and have been numb ever since I realized it was real. Definitely a painful day and unexpected tragedy. I just pray for his wife and his 3 other daughters...They have a newborn. It's so sad...Truly you never know what life will bring and when. Hold your loved ones tight!

I pray/hope that TMZ didn't report this before the families knew. TMZ broke this news and I flipped to all the 24 news channels as well as every sports channel and no one said anything for an hour......I wonder if they were waiting for the families to be notified OR waiting for full confirmation.
