RIP Kobe

[KDKSpurs24]

Very sad news.. RIP to Kobe, Gianna and all others that lost their lives in the crash.

Wow smh...

I didn't think I would but I teared up a little when both teams were letting the shot clock run out. The gesture itself was kind of corny but the sadness in the building was palpable. Seeing Timmy, Becks, and Sean wiping away tears got me.

Probably wasnt crying for Kobe the person as much as I was about the fact that a big part of my childhood was gone like that. Really opens your eyes to how fragile life is.

Drinking Sprite all week tbh

This is heartbreaking that his daughter was also involved. You can tell she loved the game and her future was bright. It was awesome seeing them sitting court side this season just talking hoops. Both gone way too soon.

RIP

[baseline bum]

Man that middle video is hard to watch. I can't imagine losing a daughter at 13.

[Phenomanul]

if this was the pilot's fault people would fücking hate him.

if it was due to kobe or kobe piloting then people wouldn't forgive him cause they wouldn't blame him in the first place.

[gambit1990]

do aircrafts other than planes, specifically helicopters, require blackboxes in the us?

i'm surprised i haven't seen anything even referring to a possible blackbox. can't even be that hard to find under these circümstances.

[gambit1990]

The crash remains under investigation. The NTSB said it planned to look into the history of the pilot and the plane, among other aspects. It remains unclear whether the helicopter had a black box.

weird... that is something that should be known pretty off the bat.

[superbigtime]

RIP Kobe and the others who perished. Very sad. Terrible.

i found the audio from the black box apparently. the end wasn't too interesting though, pilot is not heard due to poor radio receiver and/or too low altîtude.

[gambit1990]

seems like it did have to do with fog / the pilot. unless mechanical issues are revealed. really seems to be the fog / pilot at this point though.

[JeffDuncan]

Grown men crying about millionaires who wouldn't spit on them if they were on fire. ing sank his franchise lmfao and a RAPIST...
him, his style of BBall ruined the NBA...the star call was practically invented by the NBA for him.

A sane point of view. You're going to take a lot of heat.

it was the pilot's fault. flew low to avoid fog then hit a mountain

105 women? How would you even come up with that number? I mean how are you counting that. I know at least one that was very public but still.

[gambit1990]

i'm actually surprised how hard this hit ST. but i'm not saying any of you are wrong for feeling any type of way.

i've never been a kobe fan and i'm not one just because he died. gone too soon? okay... but so are a lot of other people. like his daughter. i actually feel bad for the loss of his daughter. but kobe? dude was a multimillionaire living the dream. i don't feel bad for him tbh, and i'll miss him even less.

[gambit1990]

don't ever forget that kobe was the antîthesis of basketball. basketball is a team sport.

[gambit1990]

last i'll say, pop drafted players playing in europe because they had less of an ego / less sense of entîtlement... who in the past 20 years had a bigger ego and more of a sense of entîtlement than kobe?

people were enamored by kobe cause buckets did kobe score 81 once? yeah. lakers went on to lose in the first round of the POs that year.
