Not at all UVA related but if you haven’t heard yet NBA legend Kobe Bryant died in a helicopter crash less than an hour ago. So sad to see a legend go. Everyone (including myself) is in complete shock. He never had anything to do with UVA (that I know of… correct me if I’m wrong) but I just wanted to put it out there. RIP

Just saw this on the news. What a shocker. I always feel for the family that’s left behind when something like this happens.

I was always an anti Kobe Guy during his career…But I honestly hate to see this. Leaves an empty feeling in my gut. He was only half way done with life. So sorry to hear this.

So I wanted to be respectful and I know everyone here is as well. Kobes UVa “connection” is Jerrod Washington who played football during my time and was a great running back and friend. Jerrod married Kobes sister so lets all think about J and his family as well.

He’s an underrated running back in UVA history. His senior year he was great and was a hell of a kick returner. #22

Yessir. one of the toughest players ever. maybe 5-10 and returned kick offs as a true freshman. And he could hoop. We used to battle for real at Slaughter back in the day
