Kobe Bryant Dead: Helicopter Crash

[BC867]

My condolences to his dad Joe "Jellybean" Bryant,
a former NBA player, and to his family.

ABC reporting the 4 unnamed people were the pilot and 3 of his kids... NO!

It makes it all the more horrific.

 

[Town Drunk]

Absolutely awful.

 

[Finito]

Wow.

It hasn’t been confirmed either way.

EDIT: Keep in mind, this isn't confirmed either. She is a reporter in Little Rock, Arkansas. Not sure if her Sources are credible. Hopefully they are.

 

[BC867]

The latest report is that it crashed into a hillside.

Yes there are pictures of it on TMZ.

Not a fan of copters although ive flown in them. Flying in fog or marine layer def isnt compatible. Tragic accident. Hopefully his daughters were not on board?

My brother in-law idolized him growing up...he is bawling right now.

Ditto my son. First Neil Peart (my idol as a musician), and now my son's basketball idol (with my son finding out at the gym while trying to emulate Kobe in a pick-up game, and me finding out by him texting me, I kid you not).

Ugh...

Now #NBATV is saying that games ARE going to play, 10 minutes after they said lorckerrooms were being cleared and games being cancelled.....

Any news as to who the other passengers were? Absolutely tragic and unbelievable.

Ashley Nevel reporting that Rick Fox was one of the people on the helicopter.

EDIT: Nope, this appears to be wrong, she deleted the tweet immediately after posting it.

TMZ is reporting his 13 year old daughter was on board apparently they were on their way to basketball practice at the Mamba Academy.

Thoughts and prayers to the Bryant family.

 

[Ronin]

Wtf I just got home. I’m still trying to process this.

 

[mjb21aztd]

If this is real that kobe was on helicopter wow absolute shocking and very sad...

Ive always liked bryant

Just saw on yahoo one of the victims was his 13vr old daughter omfg...

How could this happen....

My body is soooo numb right now

Hope Bryant and all victims are in a paradise afterlife

Why are the games still happening? NBA, cancel the damn games for today!

 

[Chaplin]

Interesting that games are still going to continue. Maybe because he isn't a current player? I would have guessed the chances of games being cancelled today at 100%

This is RIGHT NOW:

Why don't they cancel??

 

[BC867]

They should postpone the Lakers game.

 

[Ronin]

They should postpone the Lakers game.

On Tuesday?
