Can someone fix the title?

I'm watching cnn right now and so far they've said they don't know who the victims were. Tmz and a few other sites arw saying he was one of them but I'm on the fence how credible it is.

didn't get very long to enjoy his retirement

It's confirmed on ESPN and various LA news outlets. RIP.

Mamba out :(

I retract my statement then.

I put on Sportscentre on as they are showing highlights of Lebron passing Kobe in all time points yesterday. Too bad Kobe couldn't have held his position before passing

NBC reporting his 4 daughters were in the helicopter.

Very sad news. Mamba is dead. RIP to Kobe. Truly terrible news for his wife.

LA is in mourning now.

I’ve read that only one of them was. Awful for his wife regardless, but if it was all 4 of them, holy fuck.....

He tweeted Lebron congratulating on breaking his record. Speechless right now. RIP sigh.

RIP KOBE :(

New report it was him, his 13-year-old daughter, a teammate and another parent plus the pilot . They were headed to a basketball game.

RIP

RIP to one of basketball’s all-time greats and his daughter

TY to the mod who corrected the spelling

Fixed the title for you, manic.

Quite moving ...

FVV stopped dribbling at 8 secs left on the clock. Classy move by both organizations. 81 vs Raptors and the playoff battles against the Spurs.

Obviously too early to know if there were mechanical issues at work, however, it at least appears the pilot was pushing it in bad weather/vis. Anyone who's ever been to LA knows the sea fog there can be thick and fast. RIP to all onboard.

Sad anytime anyone dies, great bball player and I'm sad for his wife and his daughter who died and everyone on the flight.... but having a hard time with all the great family man/person comments? Guess we just forget when someone's an adulterer/possible rapist when they're rich and popular.

That's the kind of thought you should keep to yourself right now...

Makes you wonder why his flight was even in the air in the first place given that other chopper operators such as LAPD air support were grounded because of the fog at that time.

Man general aviation is sketchy af..

When you’re loaded feels like such a risk to fly PJ’s and private choppers

RIP

Much like Roy Halladay their post retirement lives were just getting started, what a shame.
