While I too found him less palatable prior, this is still a tragedy and no one deserves this. Praying we hear his children weren’t aboard. As a non fan I’m surprised at how sad I find myself. Doesn’t help that we drive by there very often. RIP. He was a basketball legend.
Now they’re saying his 13 y/o was with him.
agreed
His 13 yr old Gigi was on board.
KNX witnesses said that they could hear the helicopter flying overhead but couldn’t see it because the cloud cover and fog was so heavy.
They thought it had to be flying low because it sounded so loud. They thought it was circling, looking to land. Then they heard it crash.
It is his personal helicopter, it’s likely that he was piloting.

I also am surprised at how sad I find myself. A father and his daughter dying together...What a frightening thought...
I was never a big Lakers fan.
But, I do read sports section. I have read articles about him. I sometimes watched his games...I watched the Gold Medal game in Beijing Olympics when he was on Team USA.
I did read a LA TIMES article about Lebron James becoming a Laker legend...Kobe had no problem with James becoming a Laker legend. He did not sound annoyed about attention Lebron James was getting...He sounded excited about how well Lebron was playing...
People showed up at Staples Center to show their sadness at Kobe’s death...
Lakers are playing Clippers on Tueday night...At Staples Center...I may actually try to watch the game on TNT. I am curious about how Lakers will pay tribute to Kobe. I checked the Vividseats.com and cheapest ticket cost $453.
