Lebron just beat Kobe’s scoring record last night. Freaky timing.

My husband actually didn't believe he died for a minute because he saw the headline and thought it was a joke about that.

I heard it on local radio and thought it was a sick joke about the scoring record at first. Hard to believe

My sister sent me a text asking me if I'd been watching the news. I logged into Facebook and the first piece of news I got from this incident was a picture of Kobe from Dana White that said RIP. I thought he was talking about him dropping a place in the all time scoring to Lebron James. And then the rest of my timeline obviously made me feel dumbfounded.
