Kobe Bryant Dead

omnomnom · 26 Jan 2020 at 19:45

Foxnews and TMA reporting he was on board a helicopter that crashed.

RIP.

Sad sad news, RIP to a legend.

Just saw this, when somebody who doesn't even take much interest in basketball knows your name, your records, has watched and admired your highlights you've transcended the sport and become a legend.

RIP.

Damn! Totally shocked. Is this confirmed?

Squark · 26 Jan 2020 at 19:51

Wow, that's surprising.

Only 41.

McBain · 26 Jan 2020 at 19:52

True legend of the sport gone way too soon. RIP.

Sad news. Helicopters seem to be a regular rich-person killer.

Legend? Isn't this the guy who raped a woman and then had his 'management' intimidate her into not testifying and paid her millions to keep her mouth shut?

Damned if I ever got in one tbh.

Not really a basketball fan, but he's one of three or four players, past or present, that I'd recognise.

Never proved in a court of law. That’s my acid test I’m afraid.

Not a lot you can do when they stop working up in the air, at least you can glide a small plane down to a relatively safe landing.

Still rocking your Jammy Saville support, yo

RIP if it is true

. One of my favourite basketball players next to Jordan of course.

No comparison. Testimonies against Saville came from dozens of people, and he was only saved by being dead.

Bryant’s case was a contentious one between two people.

An absolute legend. Along with Jordon he was an Idol, plastered all over my walls as a kid. Have 3 of his jerseys and he's still one of the biggest reasons I kept playing. RIP

Rumours one of his daughter was on board but nothing in the news articles.

Gutted, absolute legend

I didn't know where to post this, but, I am sure basketball fans will be stunned by the news that Kobe Bryant was killed in a helicopter crash today.
