Honestly cant think of one worse globally (maybe the Manchester Air Disaster, but that was a very different time).

Marshall Football team plane crash comes to mind.

Regionally, absolutely...I just don't think anything comes to this across the globe.

Lucky he predated the "me too" era!

Started following the Lakers when NVE started playing there and stuck with them even after he left. Kobe's probably my favorite NBA player ever, awful day

You could have probably just not posted anything.

Never stopped you. All I said was I never liked him. Don't like Jordan either.

But I don't think a "great person and family man" pays $10M - figure that I was told - to not go to jail for sexually assaulting a teenager. But I guess you are one of those people who idolize folks because they are good at sports.

If you can read this and not be disturbed, then I have nothing to say to you.

Guy was an extremely selfish player, too. He never associated with teammates on the road.

Just stop. Do you have to make yourself such an unlikable person? This is something you control.

Got away with it twice. At the start of the Weinstein fiasco, Hollywood honors him with an Oscar. Like some animal once wisely stated "some are more equal than others."

Me unlikeable? Did you read the link? You guys need to be edicated.

I have never cheated on my wife.

Wife filed for divorce because he had over 100 affairs! 100!

100 makes him an amateur compare to Wilt.

But your right about him. We can admire his basketball skills but detest his morals!
