Horrible news. One of the greats.

My Achilles has been hurting for the past 24 hours. For u Kobe

9 people Jesus. Poor kids.

Tiger just came off course unaware of kobes death , shattered finding out

 

[Shermanator]

Insanely competitive and confident in sport, caring and compassionate in life.

RIP legend.

Hearing that Kobe's daughter was also on the Helicopter is adding to the heartbreak, but now to hear that the number of people on the Helicopter was nine and not five is just another blow to a really sad morning.

*****ing devastating news.

Even as a confirmed lifelong Celtics fan, I always has a lot of time for Mamba, just one of the most naturally talented and pure scoring machines to ever play the game.

I am in a state of numb disbelief to be honest.

Absolutely shattered for the Bryant family on their loss, the LA Lakers organization and his legion of fans who idolized him.

The 2010 NBA Finals was one of the best of the last decade, even if it waa the ourcome I wanted.

RIP Mamba, legends never really die though, they live in forever in our memories and hearts.

So sad, along with his daughter RIP.

Jesus, what LeBron had on his shoes yesterday was prophetic

Rest In Peace Kobe

 

[The Casey Cat]

Absolutely awful. Generally always hated the Lakers (in a competitive way) but could not help but love Love and how he could step up and take over in unstoppable fashion. RIP.

Very tough day, apparently Jayson Tatum was physically fine to play, but couldn't suit up due to the tragic news, Kobe was a mentor to him, they had several workouts together.

Just a really dark and shitty day

 

[Burningleviathan]

RIP Black Mamba.
Shocking news to hear.

 

[Gigantic]

Such tragic news. Very, very sad day for not just basketball but the entire world I'm sure.

 

[Underarm]

Kobe will get the headlines but it's his daughter and her friend that's the biggest tragedy. He got to do what he loved for 40 years, they never will.

they must be fun at parties

It’s probably not the right forum but he raped a 19yo girl. Police reports were incredibly damning, publicly **** shamed the girl and financially was never going to lose the case. An incredible talent and one of the all time greats but the talk about how good a bloke he was doesn’t sit well with a lot of people.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Absolute tragedy, RIP Mamba & GiGi ❤

Heartfelt condolences to Vanessa & the entire Bryant family.

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Just brings me to tears.

Not just as a Lakers fan, but because of the amount of lives affected by this.

The 24 second shot clock tribute was beautiful.

Yeah I get that should have thought more just seems like maybe one day to not mention it , but then again it would be hard to hear glowing tributes

I dunno anyway like you said probably not the right spot

Devastating news. Spent my high school years trying to replicate Kobe on the court.

RIP Kobe and everyone on board.

Just read on Today's facebook that Kobe Bryant was just killed in a helicopter crash.

Hoping it's a Richard Wilkins/Jeff Goldblum moment.

Edit: Seems to be true

I was up watching the golf from the US when they announced it live on air. Tragic and shocking. RIP.

 

[Mootsy]

He also did a lot of promoting for women’s basketball, had a great family and brought joy and faith to many basketball fans. The other stuff, good or ugly, probably not the best time to discuss it, and he was cleared anyway.

 

[Gizmo]

RIP Kobe. Terrible news.

 

[Amazing Racer]

Still hard to believe - it doesn't seem real. Such a tragedy for his wife and daughters - only solace is Gigi and Kobe will be together

 

[Sylvia Saint]

Horrible news.

I was watching the Lakers game yesterday afternoon and they displayed a live tweet from Kobe - congratulating LBJ on his milestone. Just goes to show how sudden and precious life is.

RIP to Kobe, Gigi and all the other poor souls onboard.
