I didn't see this post, I posted the same news in the Sports Section.

Sad day for basketball fans everywhere. Thoughts go out to his wife and family.

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

RIP to a top shagger

Few places reporting that his 4 daughters were on the helicopter with him

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.

OJ Simpson?
Michael Jackson?

There were five casualties, so that would mean no pilot, which obviously isn’t true.

Those tweets are getting deleted, most likely BS.

Legend in his sport. Apparently not the nicest person in general but RIP, always sad especially when someone goes out young.

One of his daughters is less than a year old so most likely wasnt on board.

Haven't seen any papers report about his daughters, just BS rumours hopefully.

Could he not have been piloting it?

If any of his kids were onboard then that just makes it all the more tragic than it already is

.

And have some respect people, he wasn’t convicted of raping anyone whether he did or didn’t isn’t for this thread.

I heard his wife and daughters weren't on board.

Sucks big time. Only 41. What a life to take. So sad.

Exactly. A man has just died, a wife has lost her husband and four children have lost their dad. Keep that crap out of this thread.

Terrible news! Such a talent. Incredibly inspirational person and humble to boot. One of the finest sportspeople of our times, frankly.

NVP · 26 Jan 2020 at 20:42

Damn, reports GiGi was on board and died too.

Kobe's daughter Gianna Maria aka GiGI was also on board the helicopter and died in the crash reps for Kobe tell TMZ Sports. She was 13. We're told they were on their way to the Mamba Academy for a basketball practice when the crash occurred. The Academy is in nearby Thousand Oaks.

Of course it's for this thread! It's a pretty important factor in marking someone's passing if they've settled a private action out of court for raping someone, and had to apologise that they understand how their conduct managed to leave that person feeling like they'd been raped.

ABC did a report saying his children were thought to be on board, then someone at ESPN tweeted this was untrue but they've now deleted that tweet so who knows.

I guess we will find out at 10pm when the press conference happens.
