TMZ: Kobe Bryant dies in helicopter crash

Nobody_Important

“Aww, it’s so...average,” she said to him in a cold brick of passion
This is unbelievable. ESPN was talking about Kobe all week this week because Lebron is about to pass him on the all time scoring list.


RIP to a legend. And condolences to his family. Especially his kids.

Damn, this is crazy. I thought it was fake.

I guess it huts you more when you literally grow up watching him for 20 years.
 
Utterly insane, RIP. That being said my grandfather just relayed what he heard from military chopper pilots during Vietnam that helicopters are "an affront to the gods of flight control."

Right? Fuck this wealthy guy even though he was in a military family and was constantly moving as a kid, worked on his craft for 6+ hours a day in the offseason, and would workout after games. WE NEED WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION!!!!

Wow, sad to see such an amazing athlete gone at such a young age.He was an idol for many, and regardless of what you may think of him as a person, its always sad to lose someone so suddenly.

Rest In Peace, Black Mamba, and prayers for those close to him who are grieving at this moment.

RIP to the other 4 in the helicopter as well. Shouldn’t just mourn the famous.

Edit:One of his daughters was with him too, 13 years old, so sad

Fuccck... I followed him when I was kid back when him and Shaq were tearing it up together. A great loss, I really hope this is somehow fake.

Holy shit.

Was reading an article about how Lebron is about to surpass his point record, probably this week, and now this.

RIP.

I just read a tweet that said that some of the other dead were Kobe's daughters?

I hope that is incorrect.

LA Times did too but they updated to confirm Kobe was indeed a fatality.
Ah shit. CNN updated their home page.

I'm not much of a basketball fan anymore, cared more about the Celtics during the Bird vs Magic days when I was young, never liked the Lakers, always thought Bryant was a big time hog, but got to say, shit. Always sucks when big name players die in any sport. Especially since he just retired a few years ago.

Any time I see a big name athlete die (even if it's a sport I don't care about or a player I never saw play..... like some Hall of Fame player who played in the 60s or 70s), it's always a sad day.

Helicopters are dangerous, specially in shitty weather. I don't know who he was, I read about this on airliners.net earlier, seems like he was famous.

Apparently he used helicopters all the time because obviously he could afford it and because of the horribly infamous LA traffic. So this was just routine for him in terms of travel apparently.
