I as a fan.....devesated i cant....or can only imagine how his immediate family feels.
I still practice on 2k20 using kobe cuz the entire floor is his hot spot. Kobe on cover of 2k21
One of the few players i can listen to interview cuz he tells you his perspective of the game. My fav kobe moment aint even him playing ball. Mine is him and shaq squashing their beef in that segment

capitalism doesnt work that way
the nba and the media isnt going to miss out on the money, the images of grieving players, the shock, and so on
its sick but this is the culture we live in
Today...
Hug your kids, your wife/spouse, and appreciate them while they are still here on Earth.
I feel so bad for his wife, the siblings and the other family of her team mate.
Time is one thing you will never gain back or be able to buy in life.
Bless up to all...
Respect.

Can’t do that, too much money involved. Who’s gonna pay the people who rely on that extra cash sellin food and shit, the security,
It’s sad that such a great person and player died but life goes on.
Thank you.Yo, fuck it, I couldn't wait for other mods. I deleted some of the bullshit from this thread.
This asshole just brought it up on CBSN.CNN is a piece of shit bringing up the sexual assault allegation....This is,why I hate watching the news.....

I was sitting at my dining room table Sunday morning when I heard the whir of helicopter blades.
It was a foggy morning, with visibility at less than 60 feet. I looked toward a nearby window in my Calabasas home and heard a massive boom, followed by a few seconds of silence. Then a fireball erupted on a hillside off Las Virgenes Road.
I had no way of knowing the helicopter that had plunged into the Santa Monica Mountains hillside was carrying basketball legend Kobe Bryant, as well as his young daughter Gianna, and this crash would send fans around the nation into mourning.
It was 9:52 a.m., and I ventured out onto the street. Visibility was poor.
Using binoculars, I was able to see the aircraft had been torn apart and was on fire. It turned out the aircraft was a helicopter, and it was scattered in many pieces on the hillside.
In the ensuing minutes, a stream of firefighters arrived to tackle the fire. I was able to make it closer to the crash site, where I saw debris strewn across the hillside, still smoldering.
Closer to the scene, I also found others who had witnessed the crash.
Eyewitness Jerry Kocharian, 62, said he was standing outside the Church in the Canyon drinking coffee when he heard a helicopter that was flying unusually low and seeming to struggle.
“It wasn’t sounding right,” he said, “and it was real low. I saw it falling and spluttering. But it was hard to make out as it was so foggy.”
The craft vanished into the sheet of fog, and then Kocharian heard the boom and saw a fireball.
“No one could survive that,” he said.
Later, the L.A. Times confirmed that two of those on board were Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter.

there is no footage - we out here in LOS ANGELES right now telling how foggy and overcast it is out here still, hours after the crash... yet someone was close enough to take a full, clear video in the fog of the chopper crashing???
social media is good (in the fact that you get news right away) and bad (that you also get fake news right away)
we will have to wait for official word on all this...still, it looks like operator error in bad conditions in a rugged hillside area...and at the moment, that's it.

5 Confirmed Fatalities:
1) Kobe Bryant
2) His daughter Gianna
3) The pilot
4) Gianna's teammate (another little girl)
5) And the little girls parent (the teammates parent)
Man if that's true this is gonna get real ugly once the funerals are over. Lawyers are probably swarming
Kobe has been on my mind for the past few weeks for various reasons. One being my 9 year old daughter doing the "Kobe" shout as she took different shots around the house. I clowned that she didn't even know who he is...My friends and I were clowning off of his commercials, how they were funny...sending each other random "you're welcome" gifs... I even randomly reflected on when he'll be eligible for the HOF. And I wasn't the biggest fan. Mainly only a fan when he was giving the business to the Celltricks...but for some reason he was coming up in different convos and situations for the last few weeks. Then last night with him congratulating Bron. To have this happen today. Its fucking with me.
Sometimes you don't know how much you cared about somebody until they're gone. Such a big part of my life-- seemingly as long as I can remember, it's amazing he wasn't even ten years older than me. I had a long walk home and tuned into ESPN Radio, I couldn't help crying. The most shocking news of a death in my lifetime. I can't believe it. It still doesn't seem true. RIP.

I also hope that the other father and daughter was not Zach and MacKenley Randolph since they played on the same team.
mine too. but they know who he is from my days of yelling at the tv.
Indeed - caught it earlier on tv & made sure to circle back on Youtube to add it to this thread.
Credit to everyone posting positivity in memory of him, his daughter & their fellow passengers.
Kobe took Moesha to the prom.
To a young ass kid growing up that was everything
Fucking YESTERDAY I threw a piece of paper in the garbage and before I shot it I said "Kobe!"
