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.

Well so much for a Roaring 20s. And we're not even a full month in.

2020 gives no fucks

CBS Sports just said the LA Times confirmed it.

Shit, dude...

He had information that would lead to Hillary Clinton’s arrest.

I think that idea ended with the Wuhan Virus

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.

Who?

Ah, that's why I have no idea who this is.

Thoughts and prayers to those effected by this.

I heard his daughters were on board and were killed as well. Can anyone confirm this? Too much false news going around atm

That's a shame.

its false this article from the DM here confirms they are in fact alive at least. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... crash.html

Bryant is survived by his wife Vanessa and their four daughters - Gianna, Natalia and Bianca and newborn Capri.

Condolences to him and his.

I guess helicopters are more dangerous than airplanes.

And at time of writing that article has since been updated to mention one of his daughters.

Shows how instant news shouldn't be trusted either way though. Let the proverbial dust settle and we'll know more.

Bro you not serious. We did not just start 2019 by losing Kobe

I’m in total shock. Words can’t describe the magnitude of the loss for the sports community. A true legend and inspiration to so many. My condolences to his family

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