Just saw this headline and felt genuinely stunned. It feels like they should stop playing basketball today or something.

Still shocked and stunned by this news. I wasn't a big Laker fan but always recognized the generational talent that he possessed. Sad day for sports fans.

His thirteen-year-old daughter Gigi died in the crash too, as did one of her teammates and that teammate's parent. Just so terribly sad.

RIP Kobe Bean Bryant
By no means am I a Laker fan, but you can see what a massive impact he had on basketball and the city of Los Angeles.
His daughter passing too made me choke up a bit. Could see Sabrina tearing up after the women's game too.
RIP Kobe and Gigi. You guys will be missed.

3 of the passengers on the helicopter were the father, mother, and sister of former Oregon baseball player JJ Altobelli.

Re: Wow... RIP, Kobe Bryant
Kobe was one of my idols growing up. This is just crazy that he is gone. Especially felt like we were starting to see a new kind of mentor Kobe - so much left on the table it huts. Puts a lot into perspective. If yall have any trivial things with friends or loved ones , make it right. You life is fleeting so make sure the things that matter, matter.
