There’s no words to express the pain Im going through with this tragedy of loosing my neice Gigi & my brother @kobebryant I love u and u will be missed. My condolences goes out to the Bryant family and the families of the other passengers on board. IM SICK RIGHT NOW https://twitter.com/shaq/status/1221549914766954496?s=21 - ( New Window )
But, unfortunately no one is getting out of here alive. I always look at how people react, and in my humble opinion, overreact to the death of a celebrity. I wonder if you asked Kobe - "hey you can have the life you lived and check out at 41 or live a longer, but live a more traditional life?" - which one he would choose?
R.I.P. One of the greatest basketball players ever, did a lot of great things off the court during and after he hung up his sneaks.
NBC news can confirm Kobe’s 13-year-old daughter Gianna was on board along with a teammate of hers and that teammate’s parent. Pilot also dead. Five total. Five lives cut far too short.
I'm not a huge NBA fan and when I root for a team it is the Celtics but Kobe was one of the fiercest athletes I have ever seen but the thing that impressed me about him was how intelligent the guy was. He left high school and dominated the league but was years beyond his age. Spoke multiple languages. Handled the pressure. Could speak on a number of topics. Basketball was just a bridge to get him to bigger and better things. Very sad especially knowing his daughter was on the helicopter. RIP.
I'm not really a basketball fan. But from what I have read about him for what he has done for the game and more importantly his generosity towards his commutiy and his high school, the world is definitely a lesser place without him.
the name of the other family or pilot? I would like to add them to my prayer list tonight.
One person is John Altobelli, Orange Coast College baseball coach.
Is that the pilot or Parent of the other player? The team was probably in the middle or winter workouts too.
So many affected.
There is speculation out there about him being a parent. I can’t confirm. There have been social media posts of the OCC baseball team mourning his loss. Police just mentioned nine people were on board.
my preference is to give everyone a day or two to grieve before you bring up the negative parts of a person's life (unless it's like Hitler or Osama or someone like that).
Have we ever seen someone who was one of the best players ever in their sport and super popular die in a tragic accident at such a young age? I’m trying to think of something similar but I just can’t.

But Good God, his wife is now a widow/lost a daughter, his other children are now fatherless, & the rest of his family just lost a son, a brother, a cousin, etc.
Please just keep your negative Kobe takes to yourself.

They couldn’t wait to make jokes about our player who was shot in the butt, His best friend died in that incident didn’t seem to matter you see the best and worst of humanity when things like this happen
From the "fake news" of idiots trying to be the first one to report on something to these trolls who have no regard for human life. I just looked at Kobe's last tweet (it was to LeBron) and there are a bunch of fucking trolls celebrating his death and posting some random spam shit just to get attention. It's disgusting. Hell, you can hardly go on You Tube anymore without seeing a bunch of racist, Anti-Semitic, misogynistic comments.
But I digress. Point is, a fucking legendary athlete, his young daughter and several others were killed in a sudden and horrific way and we have truly wastes of life using this tragedy to get attention. Disgraceful. Truly disgraceful.
You know, I remember when 9/11 happened, it brought all of us Americans together. It really unified us. Not to compare this tragedy with 9/11, but I wonder if 9/11 happened in this day and age if we would band together. There's so much vitriol and downright stupidity in the world.

People here in Philly love him.
What a tragic day.

Two children.

ABC news also stating 9 people on board

While you are correct, if feels weird to bash right now. Think of the family's.

um Len Bias
Clemente. Munson.
+1
He was still a human being.
He also clearly tried to do some positive things in his life.
Anywhere from 4-8 other people died, not just the person committed/accused of rape.
Please just keep your negative Kobe takes to yourself.
I'm going to hold my family tighter tonight.
No day is promised.

Sheriff here says the manifest of helicopter crash that killed Kobe Bryant indicates 9 people were aboard.

Actually, to alot of people he IS a hero. So, you are factually incorrect.
January 2020.
Wrong again. Case was dropped.
That means there’s three other passengers that have not been identified
Bunch of miserable fucks.. he is dead. It's over and there are three other kids who lost their father and a sister.
Give it a rest would you?

Sad
You surprised? 2020 trolls.

So callous and distasteful.
There are a lot of shitty posts here. That one by section 125 isn't an example of that.

You think it's appropriate that one's first reaction to a death of an iconic figure is "boy, that would suck"?
Let's get real here.
