RIP Kobe Bryant

I grew up in Connecticut and Gayle King was a state-wide joke known for getting where she got by clinging to her best friend Oprah's coattails. Her showing actual journalistic chops is a weird fucking thing to happen even by 2020 standards.

 

Hm. Sounds like she was smart.

You know. It's not what you know, but who...

 

It's not so much that 1. Person dies 2. Now we have to do a full audit of his life.

You left out a step.

It's more like . . .

1. Person dies
2. Reaction is seven orders of magnitude over the top
3. Hey, wait a minute, before we do a posthumous canonization, let's do a full audit of his life.

 

A pretty thorough beat-down of Snoop Dogg, Bill Cosby and others who want “Black women to shut up about the tainted legacies of famous Black men.”

Snoop Dogg’s hatred of Black women - The Boston Globe

 

Figured that was coming. He won it four times.

 

Bob Pettit won it 4 times too

Michael Jordan Finals MVP Award? He won it 6 times.

 

It's aleady named for Bill Russell

 

They were making that move whether you wanted it or not.

 

My mistake. I thought the regular season MVP was named for Russell

 

Regular season MVP is for Maurice Podoloff

 

I think the Russell is for long distance.
