TMZ Reporting Kobe died this morning in helicopter crash

[MultiTroll]

He was leasing? I figured he owned the helicopter. I'll bet those helicopter rides cost a lot of money per ride. He should've just taken the extra time and did a limo, imo.
Kome did own his own copter according to a radio commentator. Perhaps his own copter was not large enough to carry 9?

Same show said there is advanced electronics that could have avoided mountain. Don't remember if that was radar that would have given pilot more info on how close bird was to mountain or an automatic fly feature like auto breaking on cars. I thought he said Komes copter did have this advanced feature. (My memory is not perfect but pretty sure this is what show said. OTOH you'd think mainstream would have been publicizing this so TIFWIW.)

We'll probably never know as the audio won't be released but I wonder who's call it was to go ahead in the weather.

Kobe Bryant’s helicopter was missing a warning system that could have alerted pilot to hillside



https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-01-28/deputies-patrol-kobe-bryant-crash-site-trespassers-face-arrest


Homendy said her agency had recommended that the Federal Aviation Administration 16 years ago require that all choppers carrying six or more passengers be equipped with a terrain awareness and warning system, adding that the FAA has “failed to act” on the proposal. Because the FAA didn’t follow the recommendation, the chopper that crashed Sunday was not legally required to have the system.

There are systems that show actual terrain and give warnings, but they are annoying as fuck for VFR pilots and cannot be silenced.

That's the sentiment I got reading up on helicopter pilots regarding this...

[DMC]

I would not be surprised to learn that the helicopter experienced mechanical issues during the sudden altitude increase that forced the pilot to drop altitude, and knowing what was ahead forced him to come about as quickly as possible to try to create somewhat of a glide slope. It obviously didn't work, but by all my understanding, this pilot was a stud. I'd be surprised to learn it was actually pilot error. The blades seem to be in line with the flight path, almost indicating they were not spinning fast at the time of impact else they should be scattered in a wider area (granted I haven't seen the entire debris field).

[The Gemini Method]

That's the summation that video posted earlier was getting at. I have flown in a few copters over the year, but I wouldn't be surprised if you're right.

[Chucho]

The pilot made a risky nose-up maneuver when he saw he was low, then lost control of the helicopter.

I believe the cost of that copter to own is like 13-15 million? I'm not sure Kobe was willing to put that cost to own. It's been stated it was leased. I wonder, though, because Kawhi uses the same pilot. Does that mean he rode in the same copter? I don't know if it is, but as someone who has been in a helicopter 3 times in my life, I never really trusted them then, I sure don't now...

He actually owned the chopper until he retired from playing, then sold it to the company. He then leased it as needed.

Spatial disorientation with the cloud cover and lack of visual cues, maybe? IIRC the pilot wasn't flying by instrument; he was attempting to use landmarks on the ground. Also, wouldn't a relatively small debris field just mean that the coptor was intact when it hit the ground?

[Arcadian]

He'd been riding the chopper for almost 20 years. You can die in a car accident as well. He just hit a bad roll of the dice. Celebs, CEOs and athletes ride choppers all the time.

Flying through mountains in a dense fog is like rolling trick dice where every side is a 1. It suddenly becomes much more likely that you'll get a "bad roll."


And much more likely to happen in a car as well.

You probably have a greater chance of drowning in your own bath tub than you do dying on a aircraft. Just really bad weather and bad fate. Should have landed and waited for clearance.

These car comparisons are invalid for two reasons.

1) With cars, the biggest threat to you is other drivers. If you drive through fog, you still have the benefit of driving on roads with street lights, stop lights, and clearly painted lanes. The only reason you're more likely to die in a car is because there are so many other drivers on the road, and one of them is bound to make a mistake at some point. If there were millions of aircrafts flying around in a densely packed area, you'd be more likely to die in those.

2) If you blow out a tire or something, you still have a decent chance to live. If something critical fails in an aircraft, your chance of dying spikes dramatically because you're a land-dwelling creature in the sky where you're not meant to be. Technology is literally keeping you alive every moment you're in the sky.

So even though cars cause more deaths in the context of normal circumstances, aircrafts are still more inherently dangerous, especially under the conditions that led to Kobe's death.

Mos def. In the air there is nor room for error. It's almost the first reaction when you hear of a plane crash/helicopter crash is "Did anyone survive?" that tends to be the sentiment when one of those happens. Good points.

I happened to go to a T-Wolves vs. Spurs game that year, so I can relate. Jefferson was pretty good on the block; maybe the closest thing I've seen to a prime Kareem live in that respect. But he was a one-dimensional player. He was nothing on defense; whereas Tim was easily a more complete player and it was easy for him and the Spurs to handle the business.

Tim looked like a top five player. Al was nowhere near that discussion.

And on a side note, Manu looked pretty elite in his own right; but he was definitely 1B because Timmy was the one taking all kinds of punishment on the block and bracing the team so that guys like Manu and Barry could tee off.

[DMC]

Bet Kobe never thought his death would lead to a discussion of Gary Payton's take on Al Jefferson and Chris Weber crying about Tom Guggliota.

[HarlemHeat37]

Good for Gayle King bringing up a legitimate discussion. Snoop is a clown, this man is 50 years old threatening women on camera:lol then he rides for Bill Cosby, a nigga who constantly dismissed the entire culture that made Snoop famous in the first place.

Kobe was one of the biggest coons in the history of Black celebrity, yet these people are talking about him like he's MLK now, all so they can get their likes on IG:lol a man who grew up rich in Italy, never struggled a day in his life, never spoke on any important issues until later in his career when he started getting into making movies and shit. He told on another Black man for literally no reason when the feds came calling.

Kool we pretty much stopped hating Kobe with a passion once Duncan got 5. Obviously I was never a fan of Kobe but it's not like I took any joy out of what happened to him. If anything I hate it that he died young because it's forced me to question my mortality since I'm only several years younger than Kobe. Kobe was annoying pompous guy but I felt his fanboys were even more hateable in my eyes. In most cases it's the fanboys that are more hateable than the actual player.

The only other two I know of are Gary Neal (because of Cubby's parroting on here) and Ben Roethlisberger because of the "Rapelisberger" nickname that was used on this site. I haven't seen the mainstream media really bring it up when talking about those two guys (although Neal was never a high profile athlete either)

To your point Roetlisberger was accused by multiple women and didn’t catch any heat whatsoever until the 2nd accusation. The first rape accusation against him was a non-story.

Then why ask the fucking question? It's like you can't win no matter what I tell you. The only person I hear crying for days wasnt any one here but Gayle and Ari Shaffir for running their mouths on Kobe. Because in real life any one opening their mouths right now especially in LA are getting theirs.

Haven't been on here for awhile. RIP and RIP to other 9 people. Never really hated Kobe, just hated his hype during the time where he and Duncan were competing for titles and hated slavish fanboys, like Luva, etc.

Thanks mid. Where the hell you been son? Hope all is well with you and yours. :tu

Dude you have to post on a troll account on a troll website. That is next dimension pussy shit so relax with the over confidence. Also the troll is only funny when it stings a little. Like if I actually was 10000 miles near being a pinoy nurse I'd kinda be like damn they figured it out. If it bothered me I wouldnt joke about cleaning piss pans.

And I'm not mad at you. It's an online forum who cares. If you get angry over a message board you need to seek help and I highly doubt any one here gives a F. I just remember the downfall of this forum started right around the time you posted. It turned from a fun trolling forum to some thing else. It's hardly even about basketball anymore. There's a reason why Laker fans stopped posting here for the most part too but that takes the fun out of the NBA forum. Any way enjoy having Matt Damon as your av faggot.

That too. Not much to be excited about for years. But I also mentioned Spurs will die off once their unreal nucleus of Timmy+Manu+Parker+Pop are gone. I have to give credit where it's due...that is the longest lasting effective team I have ever seen even more so than the Patriots. They never got the credit they deserved. 1999-2014 run is one of the most insane things I've ever seen in sports history. I'm also one of the only Laker fans on this planet that has Timmy ahead of Kobe.

We'll see what happens moving forward tho. Pop is losing his touch too. Spurs will probably fade into oblivion and not win a ring for 30 years now that they lost their nucleus+Kiwi sold out

I dont see the evidence. If I did I would agree. Can you let me know what I missed here? I have seen that case top to bottom. Sounds like Kobe just cheated and that's never my business also none of us will ever know what it is like to step outside the door and have women begging to suck your dick for free (except for Koolaid).

Lemme know what your argument is evidence wise and lol if you say bruises on her neck. Any one can bruise their neck if they know the $$ that will come into their life especially someone who was bragging they're looking for Eminem to fuck em and get rich.

But all seriousness, I'm not trying to come off defensive. Exactly what evidence? I'm willing to change my mind if you can show it. I just dont see how any one would get brutally raped and have vaginal tears with neck bruises then go have sex with 3 different men that week. Yeah you can say you want to 'cleanse' yourself from that experience but that's just bs. Rape victims normally dont want to have sex for a while after what she claims happened. They are physically and mentally traumatized.

She also bragged that she fucked him at a party and she got paid $2-3 mill for it so she sounds less angry than some of these people on these forums. Also Gayle is a certified cunt

Are you still butthurt over when I exposed you as a pop culture obsessed pinoy faggot or something? Outside of one comment I made about one Lakers fan on this site my other comments in this thread have been apologetic towards Lakers fans.

yeah that was a faggy attempt on his part to sound intellectual tbh. just read his reply too, cringy as always

i'm actually surprised it took him this long to post in this thread. Since he's always quick to the draw whenever some C-list celebrity is rumored to be sleeping around with another C-list celebrity, you'd think he'd be on it like white on rice when one of the greatest NBA players ever passes away imo

[Thebesteva]

Kobe settled the civil case against him; so, there's your first clue.

See this is the type of amateur shit that is embarrassing to say. Do you have any lawyer friends? Have you seen the documentary staircase? Lawyers have to talk clients into doing shit like this to make this stuff disappear.

It's very simple; let's be logical here. I sit you in a room with a team of lawyers. I tell you look man I think we can win this case but it's going to take 2 years or so and effect your training and there is always a risk of a jury being biased against a black man v a white woman. The prosecution has told us she is willing to settle for 2.5 million dollars and end this now. I say we just end it and she wants a statement saying you are guilty and we argued back and forth and agreed on you saying you are not guilty but understand how she could perceive this differently than I (IE she never said no but she never said yes either.)

He did that, ended it, went on to suffer the horrible consequences and overcame to become a champion and a female athlete advocate just to show he always cared (of course his daughters effected this) for women.

With that said, let me ask you this to counter argue. Had he not settled and went to court and was found not guilty based on the same evidence. Would you then not admit most of you would just say another OJ type case or Michael where celebs get away with it? Essentially, he was ahead of the game. He knew he couldn't win this no matter what and sitting out a year or two for a trial would destroy his style of training.

Glad to see this forum hasnt changed much. I'm not quite sure who the trolls are trolling anymore? It's like DMC and Will Hunting are just bukkaking on each other for reactions from Laker fans but no one cares.

Also it's 2020 and Harlem you're still on this coon shit? You're a good dude from what I remember...light years ahead of trolls like DMC and Will Hunting but stop acting like a real black man is defined by some form anti-whiteness or street code. That shit will always keep the majority of your people exactly where they are right now...in the fucking gutter begging a politician to bail them out while being raised by some single parent house hold while asians+middle easterners+whites are light years ahead of black people in your own country....your own fucking country! Just my two cents. Living near the hood for medical school...you routinely see little black boys on the street just smoking weed hanging outside. Mean while every one else was at school because we have 2 parents and a healthier house hold. Just my two cents tbh...not trying to be a dick.

Also Gayle deserves every thing she got minus the snoop stuff. Snoop defending Cosby is cringe.

My big brother is gone. In a daring, bold, and unapologetic death snatch, the entity that created us all recalled him home.

This death brought every rich, wealthy, famous, poor , and downtrodden person to the same conclusion. Which is die we shall. After reading each post in this thread I want to thank the decent Spurs fans for their grace. So thank you! I have no need to address the others. Spurs fan It was one hell of a journey for us all wasnt it? Man our Golden era of basketball. Kobe and Timmy made life more enjoyable for us all. Without Tim Duncan there would be no Kobe Bryant and vice versa. The truth is I talked a lot of shit back in the day with that trio of Kool/Buddy/Cully but the reality is I respected Tim Duncan as a great player and rival. If Timmy wasnt there Kobe's titles would be almost meaningless. So beating a beast like Duncan solidified Kobe's stature. Duncan brought out the best in Kobe and it was a rival a gift from the Basketball Gods. We were all fortunate to have witnessed those great games from 2 of the games greatest Ambassadors.

Kobe will now be immortalized for eternity. I'm proud to have lived vicariously through him as you lived vicariously through Duncan. Embrace those you love, be kinder, gentler, and more accepting.

Thanks Big Bro for all the dope basketball memories.

Rest Easy Big Bro. Will always love you. Rest easy you and every single person on that reclaimed flight.

I would not be surprised to learn that the helicopter experienced mechanical issues during the sudden altitude increase that forced the pilot to drop altitude, and knowing what was ahead forced him to come about as quickly as possible to try to create somewhat of a glide slope. It obviously didn't work, but by all my understanding, this pilot was a stud. I'd be surprised to learn it was actually pilot error. The blades seem to be in line with the flight path, almost indicating they were not spinning fast at the time of impact else they should be scattered in a wider area (granted I haven't seen the entire debris field).

Shaffir previously felt heat after his comments about Kobe Bryant after the tragic helicopter crash (https://popculture.com/sports/2020/01/26/kobe-bryant-dead-at-41-killed-helicopter-crash/) took the lives of Bryant, his daughter Gianna, and seven others. For that, Shaffir saw strong backlash come his way from both fans of his and those who never heard of him before, while also seeing one of his comedy specials get canceled (https://popculture.com/sports/2020/02/12/kobe-bryant-ari-shaffir-comedy-special-canceled-wake-joke-mocking-lakers-icon-death/). In his initial comments about Bryant, he said that he "died 23 years too late" before referencing his prior rape case.

The disconnect and entitlement of this bitch is crazy... only narcissistic douchebags fly in choppers regularly, outside the military...

I mean, you're going to leverage your dead husband to talk to Congress and the top thing you can think of is asking them to improve civilian helicopter transport? No wonder Malone creamed all over this bimbo.

Teehee.


Honestly, she's probably happy a helicopter was all that was necessary to take all his shit.

I sometimes wonder what Kobe would think of this COVID hoax.
But then I remember that he was a paid-off shill that wouldn't think of defying his corporate overlords.

[Dirks_Finale]

Not saying the numbers are not being inflated because they are -- but what part of overflowing morgues makes it a hoax?

Another thing Bird and Magic have in common :lol

Is Jordan a better dad? (unless w talk bout his HOF speech where he put them on the spot lol)


But to be fair, Magic did a better job with his barstard son than Bird has ever done with his bastard daughter; Bird has truly been a certified POS when it comes to his relationship with Corrie




The 38-year-old man is the product of Magic’s relationship with ex-girlfriend Melissa Mitchell during the early days of his basketball career.


Although Andre was raised mostly by his mom because of Magic’s busy schedule, he has a strong bond with the 60-year-old icon and the rest of the family, as he used to spend the summers with them.




Andre graduated from Santa Monica College with an associate degree in Business Management in 2002. He soon after started working on his father’s company Magic Johnson Enterprises as Vice President of Business Development.


He held that position from 2004 to 2010, and later on, was promoted to Executive Vice President of the company until 2014.


He also worked as a producer at Hydra-Entertainment, as head of Business Development at The Virtual Reality Company, and is currently the Vice President of Business Development at Mythical Games, a next-generation game technology studio.

Vanessa Bryant’s Mother Details Her Relationship With Vanessa Following The Passing Of Kobe Bryant

Sofia Laine is speaking out about her relationship with her daughter, Vanessa Bryant, again.
During a recent interview, Sofia claims that she attempted to get in contact with Vanessa following Kobe’s passing. She shared that she was removed from the Bryant’s home “visitor” list, and was only allowed to speak to her granddaughters via FaceTime, yet when she called Vanessa did not answer.


Sofia reported expressed that she “misses her family dearly and a piece of her was taken, when Kobe and her grand daughter Gigi passed away.”
Although Kobe and Vanessa has fully supported her financially for 20 years due to her becoming disabled, she says Vanessa has been cutting her off financially, little by little ever since the passing.

We previously reported (https://www.hot97.com/hip-hop-news/hot-news/vanessa-bryant-issues-statement-following-her-mothers-more-than-painful-accusations/), that Vanessa issued a statement following her mother’s comments in the media. “My husband and daughter passed away unexpectedly, and yet my mother had the audacity to do a television interview speaking negatively of me while shedding tears for a car and a house that were not in her name,” Vanessa reportedly said. “She has removed all her diamond jewelry, emptied the apartment I provided, and put away the furniture to make it look like she doesn’t have my support. My husband and I have supported her financially for the past 20 years, and continue to do so, in addition to her monthly alimony.”
Vanessa shares that her mother “has not been physically present or emotionally supportive” since the passing of Kobe and Gianna. “Contrary to previous reports, she has not been physically present or emotionally supportive of my daughters and me after my husband and daughter passed away.”
She continues, “Now I see what is most important to my mother and it’s more than painful. I hope that everything that is coming out about our personal relationship ends here.”

For even the most competitive athlete, the transition game is never easy. So what drives Kobe Bryant at age 36, as he comes off serious injury and prepares for his 19th NBA season—and all that lies beyond?

BY CHRIS BALLARD

The thick-armed man moves quickly, establishing a perimeter and securing the entryway. This is his seventh year on Kobe Bryant’s overseas security team, and he knows how quickly things can go sideways, especially in China. Once, four years ago in Shandong Province, a guy slept overnight on the roof of a gym, curled in the darkness, and then, when Kobe approached, leaped from a low overhang, yelling, “Kohhhh-beeee!” In one fluid motion Attila Portik—for that is the muscle-bound man’s name, of Hungarian origin—intercepted the crazed fan and hurled him aside, as if bailing out a boat. Another time, the mob breached the perimeter and swarmed in, so close that one ripped out Bryant’s earring. Just a year ago teenagers in Shanghai scaled police cars to get a view. The cops didn’t stop them; they too were trying to see. Now Attila and his counterpart, a buzz-cut L.A. police officer named Robert Lara, insist on metal barricades and use decoy cars. You have not seen hysteria, Attila explains, until you’ve seen Kobe in China.


On this late-July# afternoon, fans have been massing for hours in the humid air outside Jiangwan Stadium, here in the northeast part of Shanghai, amid the high-rises and the smog and the clamor. They arrive wearing Kobe jerseys and shirts that read ring collector and 24 on the floor. They carry poster boards and giant banners. One reads pray for kobe, above a photo of Bryant holding his cracked kneecap. Another reads forever young, with the tagline to the great father, excellent player. Two nearby outdoor basketball courts are polka-dotted with yellow-and-purple #number 24 jerseys—short, skinny Kobes driving on chubby Kobes then passing to wiry, bespectacled Kobes. Nearby, vendors hawk homemade kobe hats and black mamba temporary tattoos. Conspicuously, no one wears generic Lakers gear. They do not care about the team, only Kobe. He is like a cross between Justin Bieber and Neo from The Matrix.


At 5:45 p.m. the riot cops arrive, wearing helmets and toting shields and long metal poles that end in U-shaped curves wide enough to corral a man’s neck. By 6:30 the street is clogged with gold jerseys. Fans climb lampposts and scramble up trees. Some have tickets for tonight’s event; others will wait more than five hours just to see Kobe walk into a building.

Just after sundown it happens. A black van with tinted windows pulls through the iron gates. The mob, thousands strong, begins pogoing up and down, emitting a guttural noise. Koohhhh-beeee! Kooohhh-bee! The riot cops tense, ready to hold the line. And now Bryant emerges, wearing a white T‑shirt and shorts. This is his ninth visit to China in the last 15 years, but he is still surprised every time he sees the fervor anew. So Bryant waves and moves quickly, striding up the stairs and into the gym, past a row of purple spotlights and two life-size porcelain statues of himself in mid-dunk and into what was once a gymnasium but for the week has been remade by Nike into something that can only be described as a temple, and that is unironically dubbed the House of Mamba.




Is Kobe worshipped in China? Nike’s House of Mamba, complete with life-sized statues, was a virtual temple.
Chris Ballard/Sports Illustrated
Striding past the wall-sized rack of purple basketballs, down a hall lined with giant inspirational Kobe quotes and trailed by a team of nearly a dozen handlers, Bryant is directed to a room marked VVIP. There he is outfitted with a microphone headset and transponders on each triceps. In the next three hours he will preside over a bizarre basketball TV show, part American Idol, part Hunger Games, part Terry Gilliam fever dream, that is held on an LED-lit court while Chinese emcees scream in Mandarin and young women weep. And then, at night’s end, Bryant will, to the shock and dismay of his handlers, go off-script and challenge a Chinese teenager to a full-court game of one-on-one on his rebuilt knee and Achilles, footage of which will later leak onto the Web. Afterward a young man in a 24 jersey will leap from the stands and literally prostrate himself in front of Bryant, hands clasped together in prayer to a roundball deity.


And this is only Kobe’s first day in China.


Back in the States, if all goes as planned, Bryant will, a little more than two months from now, jog down a tunnel in Staples Center, acknowledge a cheering crowd and play in his first NBA game since fracturing his left kneecap last Decem#ber. It will mark his 19th season in the league, a career during which time he has won five titles and one MVP award, and logged more minutes than all but 12 men in NBA history. Barring any transactional miracles, his most-talented teammates this season will be Carlos Boozer, Jeremy Lin and Julius Randle. Naturally, Bryant is certain that this makeshift crew is capable of greatness. “I hear people say, ‘They don’t have a championship team,’ ” Bryant said a week earlier, while peering out an eighth-floor window at the Beverly Hills Hilton. “Yeah, maybe from your perspective”—and here Bryant pauses, narrows his eyes—“but Boozer does this, Jordan Hill does that, Lin adds that. What’s the best way to put all these pieces together and use them to win? That’s the puzzle to figure out, and if we can figure out that puzzle, we’ll shock a lot of people.” Bryant was at the Hilton on this afternoon to promote an upcoming Showtime documentary, for which he is an executive producer. He’d just finished sitting on a media panel alongside Showtime executive Stephen Espinoza and the film’s director, Gotham Chopra. Almost immediately, a reporter veered off topic and asked about the Lakers’ future. And then about LeBron. Espinoza guy cut off the question, snapping, “You’re not wasting [any more of] our time.” But Bryant waved him off. He understands that people only care about the movie because they care about his career. As he put it, “That’s part of the entire damn story.”

"All that lies beyond" is him forcing that chopper pilot to fly when the entire LAPD fleet was grounded because of fog that morning. And killing his child.
