[Other Sport] Kobe Bryant dies in helicopter crash

[Wozza]

Kobe Bryant has died

Helicopter accident.

One of Bastetball's true greats.

A one-team man too. LA will be in mourning for a long, long time.

A real shock, and such a great sportsman,

4th in the all time NBA list of scorers, after LeBron overtook him yesterday,

RIP

Shít the bed. Shocked by this. Only 41. RIP.

RIP not a basketball fan, but everyone knows that this man was a legend of the game.

Awful news RIP

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Maybe Kobe got lucky on the rebound again?

Such awful news. ABC here in the US reporting that his daughters were onboard, but no-one else is saying that yet so hopefully is just bad reporting and social media getting out of control. Shocking

RIP, never heard of him but this confirms my absolute distrust of Helicopters.

So weird. This morning when I was catching up on my twitter feed, one of the american accounts I follow was talking about how so few NBA MVPs have died, then the day ends with this. (I just checked and the tweet has been deleted now, though the follow ups are still there).

Not the thread for attempted humour

Gutted, I can’t believe it, 41 FFS. Absolute legend.

Absolutely. I dont trust them either. If a plane engine dies it can become a glider to a certain degree. Once a helicopter engine dies you might as well be sitting in a rock.

RIP to those involved.

Not true,.......google Auto rotation......but this is not the thread to discuss this.

As a sneaky basketballbwatcher at times I’ve just refreshed his 81 point or however much game. Awesome stuff.

Never heard of him. How many Brits have? Main story on the BBC website though, for some reason.
Odd thing, news story values. We're all pretty insular. Wonder whether the Leicester City helicopter death crash a year ago made the headlines on Fox....
