Boy I’m seeing a lot of glee on this thread about Kobe being dead. I’m not seeing a lot of consideration for the other FOUR people that died that probably didn’t deserve the “Trump Curse” or “the fate of a rapist”. Stop it!
oh for the love of pete what utter nonsense
Man, I wish I could fake my death!
I am absolutely stunned. I was not a fan but I appreciate his fame and talent and he was a legend here in town. So young. Cant happen. But does. RIP. I hope the rumors of his kids also being on board are false. Dear Gd especially the baby, I pray hard for his wife and family.
“Because nothing can be true until the known fake news producing msm tells us what to think/believe is true?”
Wait...what?
Grew up a Laker fan, in the 70s until present.
This is devastating
My dad in denial, said he doesnt believe it

Witnesses reported seeing the helicopter going down quickly and then slamming into the ground, Fire Capt. Tony Imbrenda said.
Flames that erupted in the crash have been extinguished, authorities said about 10:30 a.m.
“I heard the plane splutter and then a boom,” L.A. Times reporter Richard Winton tweeted earlier, saying conditions were foggy in the area.
Imbrenda said it’s unknown where the aircraft, described as being a Sikorsky S-76, took off from.
That's what we do here, right, correct misinformation?

Two posters.
Makes me wonder if the pilot lost his sense of horizon and the helicopter began to tilt. Kind of like when John Kennedy Jr. crashed his plane in the fog because he lost his artificial horizon and thought he was flying straight when he was actually descending?
...
They could have hit a power line.
You’re right about John John.
He got caught in a graveyard spiral. He took a shortcut over the water after completing most of the flight within sight of land and lights. At most he would have saved five minutes.
He didn’t rape anyone. That chick was a mental slut.
I just cant believe it..Im still hoping this is just a horrible nightmare, what he meant to this city..yeah he was a liberal I really dont care, who cares, Im a die hard Laker fan and this is just heartbreaking, and I really hope to God his kids were NOT on board
Plus he did buy Vanessa a big ol ring to say sorry

Bryant said it was a matter of standing up for what you believe in.
...
He believed in fake news.
I remember that. Big yellow diamond.
I thought they divorced eventually?...
