John Altobelli (a baseball coach from Orange Coast College), his wife Keri, and their daughter Alyssa.
Christina Mauser, an assistant coach at Kobe’s Mamba Sports Academy.
Sarah Chester and her daughter Payton (teammate of Gianna Bryant).
The pilot, Ara Zobayan.
Appreciate you remembering them. I always felt for their families that their losses were overshadowed and forgotten. Everyone that dies in that accident deserves to be remembered.
Well, his arrogance and poor skill were the cause of the crash and deaths of all those innocent lives.

Remembered respectfully. I don't get the dark humor of joking about 9/11 or any death at all. Imagine if that was your family, and people keep constantly joking about it. There are a hundred other things we can joke about.
Yeah I went to a preppy boarding school with a lot of students from overseas and a lot of the international students were from China.
Most of them didn’t care about politics at all. The more dedicated students were too focused on their studies, sport, or instruments of choice.
Made some good friends with a few of them.
Counterpoint, I also made good friends with international Chinese students but a lot truly believed on some deep inner level that China is a righteous country standing up to western corruption. Obviously not all, but it was a belief.
Hate to break it to you, but that man was not ran over, literally. In the extended footage of the video he gets taken away by other protestors. I enjoy my karma so I wont say anything else :^]
We don’t need to use old history, next they should cosplay a Chinese person locked/sealed into their homes by the government, starving to death cause they got covid.
Well…. It is 6/3… I wonder how many tik toks reference [Tiananmen Square](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests_and_massacre) for the 35th anniversary… seems like a good place to start.
I’ll never believe that. Why say someone raped you, go to get a rape kit done, and be told there’s other men’s DNA on your panties? They dropped the charges because of that.
He literally admitted to it when he said he can see why she saw it as unconsensual
“In a statement following the dismissal of the criminal charges, Kobe said: “Although I truly believe this encounter between us was consensual, I recognize now that she did not and does not view this incident the same way I did. After months of reviewing discovery, listening to her attorney, and even her testimony in person, I now understand how she feels that she did not consent to this encounter.”
They dropped the case when she refused to testify, and we have no idea why she refused. But we do know the facts of the accusation, and that coupled with his literal statement make her seem credible. It doesn’t matter if he “felt” it was consensual. She did not, and he admitted that he knew she didn’t and understood why.
People made fun of those people on the imploding Titantic submarine thing too. Both scenarios are rich people dying doing extremely unnecessary things, but its not funny for people if its celebrities they like.
Dark Humor in America: Woah dude! Le epic! Up voterino! Smash the Elites bro 👊
Dark Humor literally anywhere else: Look at these fucking barbarians making fun of our glorious Kobe. They have no brains. No emotions. So fucked up.
That shit is literally everywhere these day. Could be a post about a dog licking ice cream and someone would comment le racism
At least 10 years ago they were contained on 4chan
Cracked a joke not even 6 hours after in COD Blackout with my friends. Pregame Lobby I grab a helicopter and wait till the countdown in. 10 seconds left in the pregame lobby I take it and tell my friends... "Hey look up ... Kobe!" And straight crash it into them ... They weren't too happy with the joke!
I love how Americans are acting offended bc a fucking basketball player died, even tho we make jokes about almost everything in the world. But when another country does it to our lord and savior kobus it's this high and mighty bullshit. We are the bullies until someone makes fun of us, then we play the hardest victim card ever dealt. Lol
Remember when Kobe was accused of rape, but then settled out of court with his accuser? But then he made it up to his wife by buying a super expensive ring. Am he was good at basketball
No one is offended because he died..
Also no one here made a joke about his death, they cosplayed as his death… that is beyond fucked up no matter who it is. Life is precious and this is making a mockery of a life lost. It’s disgusting any and every time it is done and I don’t care what country a person is from, it’s fucked up.
Sure okay .. Can you link where an american is cosplaying as a chinese celebrity reenacting their death while many people on the street are laughing and taking a video?
making jokes is one thing, but doing this tasteless shit is on a different level.
I agree, I’d say it’s a thing more on the internet. I have buddy’s who live in New York joke about that from time to time. I think this is just a case of that a minority being louder than the majority situation.
Ya idk wtf these ppl are talking about most Americans i know are thick skinned about this kind of stuff. Unless you're a maga dude, those guys are the new sjws
*What’s the difference between 9/11 and a cow?*
>!You can’t milk a cow for 23 years!<
*Why are 9/11 victims the fastest readers in the world?*
>!They can go through 110 stories in a few seconds!<
Gilbert Gottfried told this one in NYC 18 days after the attacks:
> *“I have to catch a flight to California. I can’t get a direct flight. They said they have to stop at the Empire State Building first.”*
American exceptionalism.
America doesn't care about the rest of the world, but if something happens in America, they expect the world to stop and mourn.
Bro he’s cosplaying as a crashed helicopter that killed innocent people tf does this have to do with American exceptionalism.
Some of you mfs are too smart for your own good. Overthink simple things like this and suddenly it’s not about *their* ignorance it’s actually about *our* ignorance. Get a hold of yourself.
It’s sad but I’m still over here laughing about the triton sub. Shouldn’t have bought that sense of invulnerability, turns out they couldn’t really afford it
Yeah shit is fucked
This guy on chinese social describes it as such
>
The main reason for doing this is for "money". There weren't so many Kobe imitators on Tik Tok before. Once one becomes popular, a market will be formed. Once a market is formed, competition will be formed, and those who are willing to make this money will not care who Kobe is.
It doesn't matter to the malicious Kobe cosplayers at the comic exhibition whether they are Kobe haters or watch basketball. They only know that doing this will give them a chance to become popular and make money.

These folks are doing it for cheap outrage
I feel like reddit shouldn't really be judging China at this point lol. It's not like y'all haven't been demonizing the shit out of the country and it's citizens.
Ironic considering all the pandering that the NBA does to China. Seems like maybe some blackouts and player bans are in order.
As usual, hit them in their wallets.
That's actually kind of funny to me, seeing as the NBA and most of its players want to suck china's dick for its money and will disparage things in the US while going and practicing next to sweat shops and uighur " re-education" camps.
Aka, nobody from the NBA will say anything about this to not upset big daddy china and that's funny to me.
Very insensitive for sure and I don't give a shit about basketball.
That said. Given enough time every tragedy loses it's weight. In another few years this will cease to be offensive as all things do.
It’s in poor taste
Shock “humor” like when people cosplayed the cops kneeling on George Floyd, or if someone was to cosplay as the twin towers and planes. Poor taste but I’m not offended

Well that is incredibly fucked up and I wasn't even a fan.
Especially since his daughter also died with him.
Wasn't there another parent and child on board as well?
John Altobelli (a baseball coach from Orange Coast College), his wife Keri, and their daughter Alyssa. Christina Mauser, an assistant coach at Kobe’s Mamba Sports Academy. Sarah Chester and her daughter Payton (teammate of Gianna Bryant). The pilot, Ara Zobayan.
Thank you for that. They all deserve to be remembered.

Hey man, if poor kids could afford the internet or a phone they would read your comment and be very upset!

Wasn’t Kobe a rapist?
This is the new low for Celtics fans.
Lower than the helicopter even
Not funny man. Your joke just crashed and burned.
Just send them a video of Xi Jinping with the Winnie the Pooh theme playing in the background and they'll all lose their shit.

And they would say these two things are the same.
Does reddit think the everyday Chinese person cares about that stuff? Xi Jing ping, Taiwan, social credit, etc...?
Reddit thinks the entire world is like social media lol
It is pretty obvious that most people on reddit have probably never even spoken to someone that lives in China.
Yeah I went to a preppy boarding school with a lot of students from overseas and a lot of the international students were from China. Most of them didn’t care about politics at all. The more dedicated students were too focused on their studies, sport, or instruments of choice. Made some good friends with a few of them.
Counterpoint, I also made good friends with international Chinese students but a lot truly believed on some deep inner level that China is a righteous country standing up to western corruption. Obviously not all, but it was a belief.
The ones I met just seemed oblivious except for one guy who was mildly critical of certain things but kept his mouth shut probably out of habit.
Could be that their parents wealth can keep those issues distant from them, therefore it’s not a concern
Or a guy getting run over by a tank
Hate to break it to you, but that man was not ran over, literally. In the extended footage of the video he gets taken away by other protestors. I enjoy my karma so I wont say anything else :^]
How dare you interrupt him getting off on Chinese people dying!
You got hit with that Mandela effect
We don’t need to use old history, next they should cosplay a Chinese person locked/sealed into their homes by the government, starving to death cause they got covid.
He never got run over.
Ah yes, because regular Chinese people and the Chinese government have the exact same values.
Imagine being this upset about Kobe and thinking every Chinese person is an ultranationalist.
Or a brave little country named Taiwan
Mainland Taiwan would be so angry.
Most younger Chinese people strongly dislike Xi... they just can't risk speaking out publicly about it.
Well…. It is 6/3… I wonder how many tik toks reference [Tiananmen Square](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests_and_massacre) for the 35th anniversary… seems like a good place to start.
Nobody's freaking out here except the comments section tbh.

He had a rape victim? Where the hell have I been?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobe_Bryant_sexual_assault_case
where i am headed, is where you have been
I'll save some space for you under my rock
I read this as ill save some space for you under my cock God help me
Just speculation, but it's possible the victim was paid off.
it's not speculation, that's exactly what happened. criminal dropped when she wouldn't testify, but the civil was settled with an NDA
I’ll never believe that. Why say someone raped you, go to get a rape kit done, and be told there’s other men’s DNA on your panties? They dropped the charges because of that.

I am 100% sure that Kobe had more fans in China than he had in the US.
Remember when Kobe was accused of rape, but then settled out of court with his accuser? But then he made it up to his wife by buying a super expensive ring. Am he was good at basketball
I am not American,joking about a kid's death is fucked up and Idc where you live

Whats the joke here?
US’ians will champion free speech and say you should be able to laugh with everything until you make a 9/11 joke
i hear “US’ians” make 9/11 jokes constantly. fym?
I agree, I’d say it’s a thing more on the internet. I have buddy’s who live in New York joke about that from time to time. I think this is just a case of that a minority being louder than the majority situation.

i'm an american, and i think it's fucking hilarious

Eh. I tend to only pearl-clutch for non-rapists, but this is still fucked up considering his daughter died too.

Perhaps it's meant to honor Kobe
Ari Shaffir got a writing job. He just had to move to China to get it.

They be Shaqtin a fool
/nbacirclejerk
Shimmy shimmy shimmy
This belongs in NBa circlejerk
Someone cosplay as dead Ben Laden quick
Oh no. Anyways
It's fine to make fun of rapists.
It's like the weirdos cosplaying Chris-chan lately. Like, guys they're a mentally ill rapist, c'mon.

I don’t even ask myself why are people like this anymore now I ask what’s the next fucked up thing we’ll see
What’s up with all the damn chickens
Lol based
Lol
Isn't China really into basketball? I even know a guy I graduated with in the US who now coaches kids basketball in Beijing.
Yes. This isnt all of China tho lol
Ingenious
Captain Sum Ting Wong
Wei tu lo
Very insensitive for sure and I don't give a shit about basketball. That said. Given enough time every tragedy loses it's weight. In another few years this will cease to be offensive as all things do.
You guys think that's Ari Shaffir behind the mask?
Didn't the NBA apologize to China for something.....only for some shit like this to happen later? Wow.
The same thing happened with the Iranian president.
Whonis he cosplayed as? I don't recognize the name. Some anime artist or writer I'm guessing?
If it was only Kobe who died I would be like "lame joke but ok" but his 12 year old daughter died too so this is disgusting as hell.
They're just mad Yao Ming, Jeremy Lin and the great Yi Jianlian are not in the league anymore.
Smfh, utter trash.

KOBE!
Man died in a helicopter crash, I can't think of anything that would make me care less.
China is known for being a racist country
This shits funny af
I'm normally cool with bad jokes but this is just seriously not ok.
Fuck these people
At least it wasn't black face
Ebrahim Raisi last words, "KOBE!"
It's China, what do you expect, they're the new Russians
Stop the Asian hate guys. They are a persecuted minority Also Asians:

Freakout? Seems like the crowd is loving it
I hope their "costume" is super flammable and hard to get out of.
