    "it was a foggy morning, with visibility at less than 60 feet."

    "Using binoculars, I was able to see the aircraft had been torn apart and was on fire."

    It doesn’t matter at this point

    What matters is families were ripped apart at their core

    And way down the pecking order the world of basketball lost an influencer that had the power to influence both men’s and women’s basketball going forward in a profound way

    For as great as Kobe was on the court ... he held the power to be a greater influence off of it

    It’s beyond a sad day ...

    And fuck anybody that wants to come out with a “I seen it” perspective

    Precisely why I can't figure out why anyone would say the day Magic retired was a sadder day.

    You know anyone who tweeted that?

    I can’t speak to anyone’s age

    In 1991 HIV was a death sentence ...

    Magic was an active player coming off a trip to the Finals ...

    Kobe was retired ...

    I’m gutted by all the children involved as it’s beyond horrible

    I don’t know how you compare the two ...

    I wasn’t yet a teenager for Magic ... I’m in my 40s for Kobe ... maybe that’s jading me a bit

    Both are monumental you know were you were hearing the news ... I was and am deeply impacted all day ... I will be for a while

    This is so devastating on so many levels ...

    Magic’s announcement taught me be careful who you sleep with ...

    Kobe is a flat out tragedy ...

    What am I supposed to think?

    Fuck you for in any way suggesting that my feelings are right, wrong, or anything in between

    This sucks ... and I’ve been hurting all day ... and I will be hurting for a while

    It’s just bad ... so so bad

    there's no need to compare the two
    They are all tragic events

    But go ahead and post thoughts of those who really don’t know but are entertainers

    If that’s your takeaway ... you don’t fucking get it

    But that’s not that surprising

    Not going anywhere Derek ...

    What I’m calling out are both monumental and tragic events that in the time/place were moment stands still events

    The 30 year old ago me combined with what we knew about HIV at the time ... hard to explain

    Today ... just straight out tragic

    But go ahead and judge people’s opinions and emotions ... particularly mine because you’ve been so “dialed in” with regards to my thoughts in the past
