This whole thing reminds me of when the Linkin Park singer killed himself, suddenly everyone on social media is coming out as their #1 fan and shit.

He played basketball for a living. I mean it sucks that he died I guess, but no more or less than any average Joe who never gets mentioned when he dies.

You think I didn't know who these people were? My point is that I wasn't fans of theirs when they were living. I was neutral about them, didn't give a shit either way. Their deaths are as sad as anyone else's.

Agreed, I feel the same way when some actor or musician dies who i didn't care for. This is the first time i really felt sad for a death of someone I didn't know personally

However, in this particular Kobe situation, he literally was the goat of 00s sports in terms of fame and influence. Most of the kids who grew up in 00s and paid attention to the sport were looking up to him, so I think the whole reaction and #1 fan shit is appropriate and mostly legitimate

>> No.16995623

>>16995433
Why do people even care? People die every couple of seconds. Big deal. Why care about some strangers life?

>> No.16995646

In a world where you love sports and paid attention, it sucks. If you didn't know him by any means or cared, no one needs to really cut you up for it. If any non famous person had died like that, it would be on the news for a segment and then we'd move on by the next day. Because it's a world renown basketball player whose face and name is backed by what he did in his playing time, but off the court too.

very much this. if you watch his interviews, it's clear he was pathologically obsessive in winning. he even got off the pressure to surpass Jodan by whatever it took.

This is no mere freak accident. Kobe was ritualistically murdered on the day of the Grammy's (Whitney Houston, died a day before the Grammy's in 2012), or a smokescreen for the increasing tensions between the U.S. and Iran. The U.S. embassy in Bagdad was hit the same day of Kobe's death.

Notice how everyone is talking about the death of Kobe and hardly any is losing their shit about the existential threat the Conoravirus poses for the elderly and kids or the Iran threat as mentioned earlier in this post. It really makes you think.

How grand are you talking? In the universe - yes. on earth - no.
His influence is not only felt in the sport and in many fan hearts, but he also inspired a lot of young kids who went and became professionals thus literally changing lifes of hundreds or even thousands directly. Indirectly his part is not to be dissmissed when talking about how big basketball is today and how much money circulates around it. Indirectly his influence touched millions of people. I don't know what is the 'grand scheme' if not this.

Let's face it:

Kobe also was a great cultural ambassador and tool for U.S. cultural diplomacy. See the reception he received in China for illustrative purposes.

Linking Park was a popular band, shitty, but popular. Kobe is one of the most popular and was arguably one of greatest b ball players in the world. It should be expected America media will run with this and get every dollar they can out of it. Just check out Stefan's twitter.
