[QUOTE="billt, post: 3320730, member: 5188"] I never followed the NBA. As my dad once said, the shorts got longer and the tempers got shorter. This guy was worth close to $500 MILLION that he got for throwing a ball through a metal hoop. Which is fine. I'm not going to begrudge him for that. They were willing to pay him that much, and he would have been a fool not to take it. But those other 7 people are dead because he had, "Get there itis". And that pilot didn't want to say no to him. Simply because he would have been replaced with another who would say yes. It was no different with that quack of a "doctor" who killed Michael Jackson by pumping him full of Propofol. If he had refused, he would have been replaced. Because you don't say no to people like Michael or Kobe. So now they're both dead. While it was unnecessary, and it's too bad, I'm not going to lose any sleep over any of it. His wife and remaining kids won't be able to spend it all if they all live to 100. They'll just have to manage to do it without him. And from now on they'll all have to say Kobe was my dad.... Not is my dad. [/QUOTE]
