Same here, looking forward to having another good day of hanging out with mates (they have looked after me which is great) and watching the open, but now I’m devastated. He was an idol to me, He was the reason why I started playing ball. I was planning tomorrow just to have a day by myself to try and get over this absolute tragedy but now that’s even been interrupted. So so so shocked. What makes it worse that his daughter was with him too.fu** was looking forward to just chilling after a god nights sleep and cracking some coffee browsing big footy. The last hour almost now has been one of shock and sorrow, sadness.
He had 41 madly insanely brilliant years. A short life, but what a life it was.
I think this quote (and others) are relevant tomorrow and the next day as grief turns to a discussion of legacy.
But in the hours after it happened, I think people should be allowed some time to grieve someone who was an icon (rightly or wrongly) for a lot of people without being confronted by what a piece of s**t he apparently was.
Sure, I understand that and I was happy to stay silent until the misconception he was 'cleared' came up.I think this quote (and others) are relevant tomorrow and the next day as grief turns to a discussion of legacy.

What did he have??Jesus, what LeBron had on his shoes yesterday was prophetic
Wow. LeBron would be cut today. Overtaking Kobe, in a Lakers uniform, in Philly, with that written on his shoes and Kobe's last tweet being to him. Damn.
No one's listening tomorrow and the next day.
I was thinking. If you were to put together a list of the best 25 players of all time (which Kobe is probably a consensus pick for?), how many aren't still alive? 3 or 4?
Bill, Kareem, Oscar, Jerry all still kicking, but a 41 year old who retired a few years ago isn't. Crazy...
