The parallels with Kobe’s death are pretty eerie

Definitely!

Widely regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport, Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi won five NBA championships and was an 18-time All-Star, a 15-time member of the All-NBA Team, a 12-time member of the All-Defensive Team, the 2008 NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP), and a two-time NBA Finals MVP.

This is the first time since joining Lemmy that I miss awards. This was funny as hell! Thanks for the chuckle.

Kobe wasn't involved in an almost sort of war with Israel though.

They would have won even more championships if Shaq hadn't insisted on eating non-halal meat during team meetings. You could cut the tension with a knife.

I'm not going to dispute your clearly superior knowledge of basketball statistics, and those are all remarkable parallels, but I think it's more likely they were referring to the helicopter crash.
