    I don't recall all of the facts of the case but I do recall initially being skeptical simply due to him being on crutches in a knee brace post surgery. Would have def. been an interesting case to see unfold in its entirety.

    I don’t know what to think anymore.

    I saw Kobe’s dozens of Instagram posts over the last year about Gianna and her team and I thought it was fucking awesome that Kobe was empowering female athletes and giving them a massive platform. I also thought his sentimentality for all 4 of his daughters was fucking beautiful coming from a dude that was an ultra-competitive “alpha male”.

    I found out today I was wrong.

    game starts at “something 30” so anytime without 30 is wrong. That’s all I am saying.

    Coverage starts at 9pm where they will do pregame stuff presumably to honor Kobe which is when a lot of people would want to tune in. The person asking the question is also in my time zone and not worst coast, and he’s smokes a lot of bud so I was trying to make it as easy as possible for him.

    be better

    Man this Kobe shit sucks even almost a week later. I was never a fan, but always respected him as a player and it's been crazy the impact his death had on me. I legit can't remember any celeb death ever approaching this. So sad thinking about his daughter who had her whole life ahead of her and was going to be a star like her dad. Life is so short, fucks you when you least expect it. I can't even watch Kobe tribute stuff anymore cause i'm tired of tearing up, and I wasn't even a fan of his. wtf.

    There are four species of mambas. Three of them are greenish and then the black mamba is more of a brownish or gray. Tattoo looks nothing like any kind of mamba but it’s sweet nonetheless.

    I could be wrong but I believe the nickname is because of his quick striking ability and not because he looked like an actual snake. But again I could be wrong.
