    LOS ANGELES -- Kobe Bryant's wife offered a poignant portrait of her NBA superstar husband and their daughter Monday at a sold-out memorial service for the two, who were among nine people killed last month in a helicopter crash in Los Angeles.

    Speaking at times through tears, Vanessa Bryant praised her husband's devotion -- calling him "the MVP of girl dads" -- as she addressed thousands of fans gathered at Staples Center to remember Bryant and 13-year-old Gianna.

    this shit gets me sick. Hey Vanessa, that girl your husband raped, she had a Dad too.

    Tough, tough watch. Brought back a flood of memories of my family's celebration of life service, and having to get up and speak in front of hundreds of people, to try to put into words their lives and ... it's all so difficult.

    Good for Vanessa Bryant to sue the estate of the helicopter pilot. I am sure there is a morsel, a stray checking account, maybe an IRA, that she can get.
    That'll teach the pilot.

    Yes, extremely distasteful. I guess we're not supposed to talk about that, either.

    She's only going after the pilot as an employee of the company. If she doesn't go after the pilot she's hard pressed to go after the company. Its a cleaner shot, company hires the pilot, pilot is first responsible party.

    The 27-count complaint, which also names Zobayan’s estate as a defendant, seeks compensatory and punitive damages. The amount isn’t specified.
