After all....once the helecopter exploded Kobe would have been quite literally turned into chocolate rain

I guess Kobe didn't stay dry and felt the pain. For a microsecond or two, at least.

"Hold my Sprite." Didn't seem to turn out too well there, Kobe.

That's not a headline I expected to read today

Cue the conspiracy theories. It's the same as the "Kennedy Curse". Rich stupid assholes do rich, stupidassholey things, and it often kills them.

LeBron James passed Kobe in all-time scoring last night.

He was there, too. There's actually a really nice picture of them shaking hands after he scored the point that put him ahead.

Im guessing the people watching for the ground stayed dry, while Kobe sure as shit felt that pain

[beautiful person]

This is almost unreal to read, if only because I immediately knew that this is the kind of thing that will be all over the news for the next few weeks. Huge sports star, completely unexpected, accidental death. Will be a bitch to avoid hearing about.
