Ran Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 11 minutes ago, Ramsay B. said: Damn. Him and Gianna RIP. I just read it was a Sikorsky S-76 too, which I actually work on. I was checking Wikipedia about it, and they list only 4 fatal accidents, including this one. That didn't seem right, and I found better data that still lists it as having one of the best safety records among helicopters, partially due to it being expensive and so generally having experienced pilots. A real tragedy, and I can't imagine the pain the family are going through. Also saw a report that the other victims were a teammate of Gianna's, and one or bother of her parents. RIP.

Fragile Bird Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 One of my fellow Pokemon players just posted in our WhatsApp group that Kobe and his wife ate in the restaurant he worked in a few years ago and left a $5,000 tip. Nice man, and generous and thoughtful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relic Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 28 minutes ago, Conflicting Thought said: He did rape a woman, no? Accused of rape, yes. Not convicted, as the accuser decided not to testify. He always maintained his innocence, saying the sex was consensual, but he DID settle a civil suit out of court. I'm not sure what is says about me but while being fully aware of this, his death has still shocked me, saddened me, and left me shedding some tears. His relationship with his daughters, his incredible passion for achieving his goals, his single minded desire to be the very best at what he did...it was always an inspiration. And yet, he might have raped that woman. Which would make him a giant piece of shit. Dunno how to reconcile these these two things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 When I saw the title of this thread, thought it was a joke, or another case of bad reporting from TMZ. Never been a basketball guy, but RIP one of the best of the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s actually what I think of when I hear his name. Don’t think he was charged. Woman was a groupie, iirc, said she consented to sex, just not anal sex. Just curious. So many replies here and praise and you throw that question at the woman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy who goes to a small restaurant in a foreign country and drops a $5,000 tip is nice, thoughtful and generous, yes. That does not subtract the rape accusation. I still smell a misogynist here.

How do you manage to quote me when I immediately corrected the obvious error in my post, lol, that was a ‘not’ in front of subtract. But the hammer dropped pretty damn fast on those posts.

The Last Storm Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I believe the Duke Lacrosse team was also accused of rape. Way to jump all over a man when he’s dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I’m having trouble finding any updated safety records, but they’re generally known to be very safe aircrafts in the industry. I’m interested to see how the investigation of the crash pans out. I’m watching Celtics-Pelicans and each team let the shot clock wind down to zero on their opening possessions as a tribute. Shot clock and one of Kobe’s numbers, 24, were the same(for non b-ball fans). They did it at the Spurs game too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
