Yes my thoughts as well. It is surreal. I was not a Kobe fan but as a huge sports fan and NBA fan he was huge figure. I started to like him more late in his career and post retirement. Even as someone who didnt know him I find myself going through those beginning stages of grief. It is just hard to fathom. He seemed immortal. Larger than life figure. And then as a parent thinking about his daughter and what their final moments were like as a helpless father trying to protect his daughter. And his other kids and his wife. 2 of his children will never remember him. And those other kids and families. Two kids lost their sister and both their parents. And the assistant coach's husband spoke out, they have two kids. Just horrible for all involved.Prayers to all families.
I have been entrenched in all this coverage. Watched his last game, all the talk shows. Just still surreal. TNT was great tonight with Ernie and Shaq and Jerry West and Reggie Miller etc."I知 willing to sacrifice everything for this team. I知 going to dive for every loose ball, close out harder on every shot, block out for every rebound. I知 going to play harder than I致e ever played. And I need you all to follow me." -MB '17

Agreed on all of this.
The TNT watch last night was not an easy one, but it was fantastic. A lot of emotions even as a viewer. There was something horribly poetic about seeing the unstoppable Shaq cry on TV. The games will resume being normal and competitive in short time. I'm not sure if the league as we know it will ever fully be the same.Run the table.

Not that the game itself will change. My point was more the way in which people discuss and reflect on that era, arguably one of NBA's most important eras in terms of growth and certainly global impact, will never be viewed the same way. Just my thoughts, you're entitled to yours.
Run the table.
