And you are a naive individual
8 Apparently there was a hoax in 2012 saying he died in a car crash.
Sounds like the youngest daughter was not on the helicopter, but the other 3 were, so them Kobe, and I assume the pilot were the 5 deceased.
I’m not a basketball fan so I just don’t get it. I was watching Fox News Sunday hoping to see the panel’s comments on the Iowa caucuses. Instead, they broke in with lengthy coverage of this guy’s death. Every known detail was covered including details about his divorce. It went on and on and on as if he were some kind of saint. He was even described as of the stature in basketball to be on Mt. Rushmore. Please! Frankly, I couldn’t care less. This country is obsessed with celebrities, including sports celebrities.
It’s a truly sad commentary on the state of our culture and our country that some guy who made a living running up and down a court throwing a ball into a basket gets this much attention when he dies. As I said, who cares?

Same here in Corona. Very cloudy,and low visibility all morning.
Because he has a nasty, bitter personality and boosts his self esteem by pouncing on an honest mistake to make himself feel better? Just a guess.
Condolences to family and friends of Kobe Bryant. R.I.P., sir.
Pot meet kettle.
Want to see him alive again on wikipediea give me a minute
It would be like Babe Ruth or Lou Gehring or Joe DeMaggio...
Omg
Is that confirmed?
My just friend just said maybe taking his girls to Grammys tonight..
Gang rape poor woman
The worst part is not realizing you’re going to die, but if you have family with you, that your last thought is they are not going to grow up. UGGGH! Wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.
Watching coverage on Fox. Showing pics of the intersection very near where we lived for many years. They said it was very foggy when it happened, so probably not a good day to be flying.
His wife is a cutie.
Yeah...
His ex, or did he have a new one?
Perhaps those low clouds were a factor.
