OT: Kobe Bryant killed

[Orange&Purple]

Just awful news!! Praying for all the families.

 

[Smiling_Tiger]

Thank God his wife and for daughters weren't with him. His youngest was just born in June. So sad

 

[haymond1977]

Tragic. 41 is so young! Hate this for all involved.

 

[RaleighTiger OG]

To be fair, didn't he all but admit to being a rapist? But yes, he was great at scoring the basketball

This guy. There's always one.

 

[Spare Jock]

Was my age. Hits home.

To be fair , no he did not.

Always....

Horrible news. I feel sick for his wife & daughters. Pray for their peace

 

[Robertsbd6317]

Guy on abc just stated all 4 daughters were believed to be on board as well

 

[Tigris Maximus]

Sad news. Wonder who else was on the flight with him? He hung around with famous people more than not.

 

[jarrod.moore]

This guy. There's always one.

well, he’s not wrong. Probably shouldn’t say that like and hour after he died, but still, not wrong.

I won’t speak ill of the dead, but let’s not canonize him as a great human being either.

 

[Smiling_Tiger]

Was my age. Hits home.

He was younger than me!

 

[harristeeter]

Will never forget I was in Charlotte when the Hornets drafted him. I was so excited, then 10 minutes later they traded him for Vlade Divac. Ugghhhh

 

[Toasted712]

Wow. Sad man.

One of my all time favorite players. One of the few assassins left.

Dude could go 1-20 for a game and then hit the big one in the last minute. He never seemed to miss that final shot.

Please God don’t let this be true.

 

[tigerskins]

Guy on abc just stated all 4 daughters were believed to be on board as well

Please God say this isn’t true

 

[haymond1977]

Are they saying his 4 daughters were with him?

 

[financeNfootball]

Thank God his wife and for daughters weren't with him. His youngest was just born in June. So sad

Sounds like the other four on board were his daughters. Just utterly awful.

This is tough. He was a great player. Died too early. He was fun to watch.

 

[amynhop]

I read a report that specifically said his wife and daughters were not on board.

 

[CUPLAYER1]

RIP 8/24

Respect

 

[KingBMich]

Wild how the death of someone you've never met can hit you so hard. I was never even really a Kobe fan but dang this is tough.
Unbelievably sad.

 

[blizzard]

It said 5 people on board. Was he the pilot?

 

[sctiger03]

Very sad. I’ve never been on a helicopter and never will.

 

[Robertsbd6317]

Please God say this isn’t true

I hope not I haven’t seen it reported anywhere else. The breaking news reporter during the pro bowl said it. Hoping he was misinformed

 

[ClemsonMax]

It said 5 people on board. Was he the pilot?

I saw from someone local they saw him with just one daughter earlier this morning so they think she could have been with him.

 

[tigerGUY]

RIP. One of the Top 3 all time players.

He actually has had quite the turnaround and was a champion for women’s athletics. I guess god forgives but you don’t?

 

[ClemsonGentleman]

Very sad. I’ve never been on a helicopter and never will.

A well-trained helicopter pilot can autorotate out of many potential crash situations. Obviously not all. You are missing an excellent experience.

Prayers for the families and friends involved in this crash.

 

[NotLarryWilliams]

Have seen 4 kids, 1 kid and Rick Fox. Pretty wide range. Haven’t seen anything official from anyone reputable yet.

 

[Tigerzilla]

Stunned.

I don’t know where you got that from my response, but ok.

Guy was an amazing player, and it’s really sad that he’s gone.

 

[jarrod.moore]

STFU

well...ok

 

[OrangeRegalia]

TMZ reporting 13 year old daughter Gianna was on the helicopter.

 

[cedceb]

Big time lakers fan..
Soooo sad...
Mamba will be missed...

TMZ saying 1 daughter.

@ClemsonGentleman had the opportunity in Hawaii 10 years ago on a company trip. But chose not to with a 1 year old daughter back at home. Maybe when the kids are grown. I’m sure it’s a cool experience.
