This **** is horrible.

Tragic, and I'm hearing now his 13 year old daughter was on board too. Just horrible.

I feel so bad for his wife and surviving daughters. I'm a huge Lakers fan and this is going to be to hard for the Lakers fans and team to absorb. Feel bad for GM Rob Pelinka, who was Kobe's agent and best friend. The timing is crazy, just literally 3 hours ago I was watching a video of LeBron giving great praise and credit to Kobe after passing him on the scoring list and developing a new level of respect for LeBron.

NBA should cancel all of tonights games, the players are in no right mind to play. You can see the anguish on a ton of their faces.

So sad, RIP Kobe, Gianna and the 3 others that lost their lives.

Re: Kobe Bryant is Dead
 

I would imagine they have to consider pushing back the Lakers/Clippers game on Tuesday, at the least, out of respect for funeral arrangements this week. Hoping Silver handles this well.

Terribly sad. Not much more to say other than I'm not sure why people still use helicopters in their daily lives. Yes they save time, but you are like 30 times more likely to die riding in a helicopter than a car. It is quite the gamble. They are great for moving troops in the military or emergency rescues, but poor modes of transportation for individuals. The calculus on the time saved v.s. the increased risk to your life just isn't there.

My wife's father died in a helicopter crash in Nicaragua. I feel the same way as you, not that safety hasn't improved. Unless it's Marine 1, I'd always have my doubts.

Neymar Jr. pays tribute after scoring a goal today.

RIP Kobe Bryant. You will be missed.

Looks like pilot error... flying too low in bad visibility conditions.

Apparently it was supposed to be a 13 miles flight. Who flies rather than drives just for 13 miles? SMDH

Re: Kobe Bryant is Dead
 

From what I understand, the driving route has horrible traffic and it takes a long time to get where he was going. So this was likely a common practice for him. Just went horribly wrong.

I went to WWE Royal Rumble in Houston last night. Over 40K people. People were chanting, Kobe...Bryant, over and over. Blew me away.

Re: Kobe Bryant is Dead
 

Just so unbelievably tragic. I don't even have the words.

Re: Kobe Bryant is Dead
 

Unbelievable.

9 people.
3 teenaged girls.

Kobe B and 2 Nd oldest daughter.
Two friends of hers. Their parents.

Just too much .....still today ...to accept.
