Kobe Bryant Dead at 41 (1978-2020)

another link from CBS and msn's front page: https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2020/01 ... or-deaths/

https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/ko ... spartanntp

officials in Calabasas, Ca confirmed five dead after Bryant's private helicopter crashed. Any ways not much a fan of Basketball I did grow up with guys like him during the 90's and 00's but I at first didn't believe it until my mom called and told me. Then I realized well that sucks a lot for his family and fellow players and more so for his fans

My condolences to his family. This must be a hard time for them.

Yikes. I never really was a sports fan so I really don't know much about him aside from the fact he was a basketball player. Even so, I feel bad for him, his family, his friends, and everyone else killed in that crash.

Bryant is survived by his wife Vanessa and their four daughters - Gianna, Natalia and Bianca and newborn Capri.
And at time of writing that article has since been updated to mention one of his daughters.

Just heard on ESPN that yes, his 13 y/o daughter was also on the copter and was also killed.
