KZbin maga ugly truth and watch the Kobe Bryant the 38 minute presentation. KZbin Russian vids and look at the Kobe Bryant information. This is all a staged hoax. That's why Kobe had a nike commercial where he destroys the helicopter that Kanye West was in by throwing in a detonator basket ball toward it.... Also there was a cartoon where Kobe crashed in the helicopter fire to his stage to fake crash site and subsequent fake death. 1st and foremost his helicopter was black and the crash site shows what looks like remnants of a blue and white vehicle Fender panel... With 2 canisters of smoke emitting white fog.... Now if the impact they are saying in the news was a helicopter falling from the sky and disintegrated then where is the fire at the crash site? And how did the fire of the helicopter put itself out before the fire department or rescue workers arrived? Where is the black smoke at Kobe Bryant helicopter? There is an oil and fuel inside the vehicle as well as rubber tires and plastic parts they would be black smoke at the crash site where was it? You are all gullible fans of a satanic Freemason controlled NBA falling for a fake idols who rape girls and pay them to get out of court to get back on the court. The world is a stage and narcissistic ego archetypes run the human herd with "entertainment" And archaic codes so called laws. Don't give any of them your soul energy✌🏽👁

[@mokushmasmo6009]

Emmanuel Kazonis Or maybe Kobe would be a different player lol... I hate it when people speak like they know any hypothetical what if. Just because the butterfly effect exists, doesn’t mean Kobe wouldn’t be where he was... You’re not limiting his ability, but you are subliminally. Kobe did to himself too, but that doesn’t make his reasoning right, then either. I’m sure none of us know, but we still might’ve had a Kobe Bryant. Doesn’t mean MJ is the only reason he reached success. And we’d never have this player to cherish. Nor did MJ invent the fade-away. Nor is he the first post up guard. He was just the first of the, I call “super athletic era.” Yeah, cool right. But it’s just a fact that after the 70s, players got more athletic. People group Kobe up because he doesn’t shoot like a 50s player on his fades. He shoots a FADEAWAY... HAS A KILLER MENTALITY ON THE COURT. That doesn’t mean MJ built that within him. Just because they’re basketball players... doesn’t mean their succeed is intertwined. Yes, Kobe might’ve learned a lot from MJ. But y’all speak on the subject like Kobe would be a raw prospect. Cause you’re the only one viewing Kobe as MJ. Sortve disrespectful in hindsight, knowing that your success is limited to seeing one player. That you wouldn’t be as great as a player without them. Who fucking knows lmao. There’s 7 people in the world that look like you. Probably more who think in a similar manner.

Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future.
