My apologies. Posting from my phone, misspelled Bryant’s wife’s name, Vanessa.

Kobe Bryant the basketball legend was the biggest thing ever to come out of lower Merion high school- my alma mater 1987

He was legendary then as is now and for all time

My source is https://www.tmz.com/2020/01/26/kobe-bryant-killed-dead-helicopter-crash-in-calabasas/

“KB is survived by his wife Vanessa, and their four daughters — Gianna, Natalia and Bianca and their newborn Capri. Kobe and Vanessa got married in 2001 after meeting in 1999.”

Gotcha. Initial reports were saying the girls were on the helicopter. I wonder who the other four people were...

[EEGator]

Drove by there numerous times. I did a bunch of electric work out that way.

And guess what? Subsequent reports now confirm he was with one of his daughters, Gianna, who also perished. So the initial report from TMZ was wrong, and your original statement was correct.

[EEGator]

I’d rather be wrong...
