Another helicopter death related tragedy... RIP. https://www.tmz.com/2020/01/26/kobe-bryant-killed-dead-helicopter-crash-in-calabasas/
What really guts me is how Kobe's 13-year-old girl was also killed. Praying for the best to families afflicted.
This is extremely saddening... both father and daughter killed... RIP to an NBA great and his daughter.
I wasn’t a big fan of Kobe, but this is incredibly depressing nonetheless. What’s just as sad is that most people will neglect the other victims since Kobe and his daughter literally overshadows them.My condolences goes out to their families.
not a basketball fan, but i know him from news and excellent adventure's quotes lol, RiP all victims involved in the crash such a heartbreaking accident so early in the year.

That always happens and there are always people like you to point that out. I wish we could just move on from that, Mr. Rogers death was more devastating to people than that of a random guy because people related so much to Mr. Rogers, he was a public person after all.

He didn’t die with 8 other people from a freak accident and only passed away due to natural causes.While it should come to no surprise that Kobe and his daughter are getting more attention, it would still be just as respectful to mourn those who died with them even if it’s not by name. I mean for example you wouldn’t find it rather rude if say a high profile celebrity died in a plane crash alongside hundreds of other passengers was the only one acknowledged just because they were more significant of a “public person”?

It's more so on the media than us.

He didn’t die with 8 other people from a freak accident and only passed away due to natural causes. I used Mr. Rogers as an example because a lot of people strongly relate to him, even though it was probably not the best practical example.Still, i'll expand a bit on what i said and agree with Prime SC: the media has a huge part on the whole situation.
Being a big fan and lover of basketball, and being a SG myself to boot, I am very saddened by this. Kobe was a guy I admired and aspired to be like on the court. He's top 5 in my all time best SGs and top 20 of greatest players ever to play. May he and the others RIP.
