Just heard he passed in a chopper crash in CA. Allegedly his four young daughters were on board as well?
Praying they were not.

From the article - "He is survived by his wife Vanessa, and their four daughters — Gianna, Natalia and Bianca and their newborn Capri.'

News is reporting that his oldest daughter was with him, too. Sad for all involved. 5 people gone in the blink of an eye.

EDIT: TMZ reported it was Kobe, his daughter GiGi, one of her basketball teammates and that teammate's parent, and the pilot. 2 kids. Ugh. frowwn


Earning every penny of that moderator paycheck.

Man this sucks
Helos always concerned me. I was in the Army and I never did like flying on them.
My Brother is a retired CW4 and flew them in the Army.
He always said lots of moving parts and a lot going on. They could take your life in a second...….

RIP Kobe

"Let he who is without sin throw the first stone"...

I grew up with a love for the game of basketball, starting when dad took us to see the Harlem Globetrotters.
Became a Laker fan back in the Jerry West days.
One of the greatest to ever play the game, and one of his daughters, taken way too soon.
The entire NBA, and those of us with an appreciation for the game, are pretty much gutted.
Respect that.

I am not a big basketball fan but its a sad deal for sure. I feel for his wife and three daughters. But mostly I am proud that my father(who passed away recently) taught me to be non-judgmental and respectful of the dead. Some of the comments here are unbelievable.......

Prayers for his family, but it bothers me that this gets more exposure and response here than the following

SAD!!!

For sure. Fame is a weird thing, I guess. Not as much mention that there were 7 other people on the helicopter besides Kobe and his daughter.

That particular helicopter has been around awhile.

Several improved versions.

Several crashes too.

Check out the 2005 crash here:

TMZ and flight tracker report they accidentally flew into the side of a mountain at 1700' moving 161 knots (185mph) due to heavy fog. I've read the headlines all day and it's just as shocking as the first time.

That doesn’t make sense looking at the news coverage.


It really doesn't matter whether you win or lose…
