So is Buffalo Wild Wings. What's your point? My post has NOTHING to do with Kobe, yet you keep bringing him up. WHY?

Triple doubles.

You brought up Lebron out of no where.

for tat.

You got problems. My post has nothing to do with Kobe and you know it...or do you? I guess you have to constantly feed your insatiable sick Kobe bashing fetish?

Thanks man. I appreciate that.

I feel really bad for his family he left behind.

I feel bad for Kobe's family, but I wish that got Lkrfan would've offed himself after he heard the news tbh.

Well, he was a better player than Jerry West, why not?

[Chucho]

Well, he was a better player than Jerry West, why not?

Only if we can replace it with Jordan or King or Timmy or Shaq or Russell or Jabbar when they die. They were all better players.

C'mon sons, find something that doesn't take away from what was already given to another guy. Just make the Kobe statue already and/or rename Staples in honour of Kobe.

Really? That's ing lame.

I was just about to comment that postponing the Lakers-Clippers game made no sense either.

Yeah I’m not trying to make light of what happened but I’ve seen players play the day after their mom/dad/sibling die, and I’d think that’s more emotionally taxing than this. That game is like 3 full days after, how long should it be delayed for before people move on with their lives?

no way of knowing but I doubt Kobe himself would want so many players to be pussies over this and using it as a reason to not play....heck if MJ died in a helicopter crash when Kobe was still playing Kobe would go out and drop 50.

[Clipper Nation]

I don't think it's appropriate to tell people they're grieving wrong, tbh. There are plenty of things to criticize Kyrie for, sitting out yesterday isn't one of them.

How is this any different than any other person taking days off work to mourn someone?

Pretty selfish to expect the players to perform for your entertainment while they're going through the grieving process tbh.

Without going any further, do you remember any sporting event getting postponed during 9/11? I remember watching the US Open like nothing happened during that day.

Yeah, when one is a close relative to someone. And sometimes, not even then.

Was Kyrie really close to Kobe like that? I doubt it. No working man gets a day off if they can't prove blood relationship to the deceased person.

Luka is 2/8 from the field so far.....on pace for 6/24 #kobe

Kyrie definitely was looking for any excuse to get away from his teammates

Yes? The MLB, NFL, college football and NASCAR all cancelled or postponed their events.

And it makes sense. Maybe it sounded like I was making a rethoric question, but I was honestly asking. The only thing I remembered was that US Open.

Still, not at all similar cir stances. One was a terrorist act that shook the entire World and the other is a tragic, but low scale, accident. It isn't the first time an ex-athlete dies of unnatural cir stances and, from what I recall, most times sporting events didn't get suspended.

What people are missing is that the Lakers asked the league to postpone the game. They just didn't feel like they could play yet under these cir stances, which is totally understandable. No other games are getting postponed.
