Was It Right To Postpone The NBA Game Between The Two Teams In Los Angeles?

[TheWordIsOut]

The NBA game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Clippers was postponed in Kobe Bryant's memory. Ever since the devastating helicopter crash, Kobe Bryant's legacy was spread around the world. It was the Lakers' decision to postpone the game. I thought it was a wise and caring idea to postpone the game because the Lakers were the last basketball team in the NBA that Kobe Bryant played for before he retired in 2016. The teams that did play even held the ball in moments of silence for 24 seconds after Kobe Bryant's jersey number. I thought it was an excellent way to remember Kobe Bryant.

And yet he is still 100 times smarter then your ignorant self

The regular season is too long anyways and drek. Lets start the playoffs.

 

[Upinthe North]

Why not?
Nobody seems to mind except for people not playing in the game. It's a thoughtful gesture.

I don’t have an issue with it. A lot of people in both organizations were close to Kobe. They weren’t ready to play at Staples. The fans probably weren’t either.

Tourists who had tickets and now won't be able to see the teams were probably ready.

You're a moron. lebron23james compared Kobe's passing to Tractor Traylor's. If you don't think that's just wrong you're a bigger idiot than I thought.

 

[Rod Freakin' Dangerfield]

It was all done for dramatic effect. Game should have carried on as scheduled.

It's almost as tragic as the helicopter crash

It's funny how angry you get when I make fun of your Lakers. That's what your real issue is. You take any jokes about your team personal. Which is hilarious.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Yes.

People over sports.

Devil's advocate...

Have you ever been to a Lakers vs. Clippers game?

I have, on 5 occasions.

Do you know what it's like walking to your car after the game?

Terrifying enough that I don't take my children.

Most of those games were during the time that the Clippers sucked.

Now, add in the sadness, depression of losing their favorite deity...

What would happen if the Clippers won again?

Hopefully nothing. But, why chance it?

The bigger issue is the people who work in that building who have loved this guy and had a 20 year relationship with him.

They should just suck it up and go back to work?

Nah.

People over basketball.

I guarantee you that this game would have been the highest rated game in this decade, had they played.

Can't get more dramatic then that.

They cancelled because it was the right thing to dom

They live to see another game.

This is not brain surgery.

I have had concert tickets, out of state, and the artist cancelled the day of the concert.

Guess what?

I got the choice of a refund or tickets to the reschedule date.

Plus, you know, I lived.
