As hard as it is to still believe that Kobe Bryant dies in 2020, it’s even crazier to realize that he has been gone almost 10 months now.

The Los Angeles Lakers legend tragically lost his life on January 26th in a helicopter crash that claimed the lives of daughter and several others.

In the months since his death, his estate pulled in an estimated $20 million in earnings, according to Forbes. After his death on January 26, Nike immediately sold out of Mamba merchandise. In August, Nike released colorways of the Kobe V Protro and a limited-edition jersey to honor Bryant’s legacy.

Kobe’s jersey was the second-best seller for the Lakers organization after the team won the championship, coming only behind LeBron James.

Bryant’s 2018 autobiography “The Mamba Mentality: How I Play” also sold more than 300,000 copies this year, 10 times more than last year.

Kobe was #6 on Forbes’ highest-paid dead celebrities of 2020. Michael Jackson, who dies in 2009, earned $48 million this year, earning him the top spot.

Bryant was reportedly worth $600 million at the time of his death.

Aaron Rodgers is back to doing what he does best, and that is causing controversy with his words.

In a viral interview with Tucker Carlson, quarterback Aaron Rodgers of the New York Jets discussed his opinions on COVID-19, Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and other topics.

In their Tuesday conversation, Rodgers and Tucker Carlson covered a wide range of political topics, such as conspiracy theories, the COVID-19 vaccine, and Robert F. Kennedy’s proposal to pair the New York Jets quarterback with John F. Kennedy as his running partner for the vice presidency. He also discussed themes relating to pornography.

Aaron Rodgers made it abundantly clear that he does not indulge in pornographic material because he isn’t into “weird kinky stuff.”

 

At the start of the interview, the 2011 Super Bowl champion praised Vladimir Putin, describing Russia’s president as ‘thoughtful and smart’ while wishing that U.S. President Joe Biden was more like him.

The quarterback suggested Biden should behave more like Putin, telling Tucker Carlson: “I’d love to see Joe Biden give an interview where he can speak on the history of the United States in the same way that Putin talked about the history of his country.”

The four-time NFL MVP also called Joe Biden’s intelligence into doubt, along with Carlson’s, when they speculated that the political establishment’s extreme leftist views might be deliberately pushing the country’s populace.

‘You wonder if they’re sort of seeing how far they can push the population until someone starts laughing, like, are you joking?’ Carlson joked.

‘It feels like that sometimes,’ Rodgers agreed. ‘Like ‘What if we did this? Is anybody going to give a s**t? No? Now, let’s try this one here. We’re going put Joe Biden up.’ Wait what? This guy who can’t even walk over here? Who s***s his pants every now and then?’ he further joked via NBC News.
