RIPPA Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Only TMZ is reporting this right now - however the local LA media is investigating and at least one said there was a helicopter crash I will happily delete if not true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Reports coming in. Kobe Bryant has died in a helicopter crash. He was 41. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 It just can't be true because I don't see it anywhere on the ESPN network or even NBA TV. They would clearly cut off the Pro Bowl and X Games if this was real Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone else is just using TMZ's report That being said - no one is refuting TMZ either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 And I would also like to believe that TMZ - with a story this big - would make sure they are 100% certain before running it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 In the story - Variety says officers confirmed to them that it was Kobe And apparently FOX is running the news now too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 BTW - regarding the "all 4 daughters" report 5 people are confirmed dead - 1 is Kobe. 1 is the pilot. So clearly "all 4" is not correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) So it looks like the NBA is still playing games. At least the Rockets game is going on. EDIT: I am guessing the Rockets game will be the only one played because it was too close to start time? Shit the Grammy's are going to be at the staples Center tonight. Man I don't know how you pull that off ESPN is reporting that one of his daughters Gianna was in the crash. According to Adrian Wojnarowski they were heading to one of her ball games. Fuck man Edited January 26, 2020 by hammerva 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 His daughter Gigi was the one he was bringing to the games and teaching basketball. What the fuck man. And how can these players play? Answer, they can't. NBA needs to cancel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
