fucking surreal.  jesus.

 

Seriously though, not my favorite athlete, but watching him with his daughter courtside last week breaking down a play since she started to get into basketball.  

Damn - daughters in plane crash also.  Brutal.

Are they cancelling the Pro Bowl as to not subject sports' fans to further suffering?

Sorry, couldn't help it.

[Sleepygrad 1029]

Haven’t seen anything about his kids...please God let that not be true

RIP to one of The greatest to ever play the game

[Bigbend1812 12915]

Damn whole family?

[Clintonaldo 2573]

Man, as sad as it is he is dead the kids just make it that much worse. His poor wife. 

[Don Johnson 4752]

That would be 6 fatalities right?  Surely the pilot didn’t survive. Maybe some of his daughters weren’t on there. 

[satyanash 14478]

Goddamn. Horrifying news, completely out of left field.

 

[Rockethorn1978 6072]

JFC some of you on here just can’t stop the schtick for one fucking second? Just stay off and don’t post. Fucking kids died so stfu.

His wife, Vanessa, was believed to not be on board. How terribly tragic for her. 

[UTEX_ME 4762]

The fact that they are continuing to play this dumb ass pro bowl is amazing. 

[aggie08 21492]

Ah fuck, the kids too? What a gut punch.

Didn't know about the kids when I posted that. This is very sad.

I thought he had 4 children, all daughters. Would not surprise me if his wife accompanied him as well considering he was with all his children. But goddamn that's just shitty.

Oh Jesus this fucking sucks.

Goddamn. 

[Chooky 13307]

Awful. 5 people dead? I'm assuming nobody in the helicopter survived? 

[Mitch Cumsteen 18547]

Tragic. Just tragic. No other words...

Hopefully they let someone other than Booger handle it. 

[Sbbruin 21830]

Oh my god I’m just hearing this.  Fucking devastated.  I have tears streaming down my face.  One of the greatest ever and the face of the Lakers this century.  One of the fiercest competitors the game has ever seen.

Yeah the math doesn’t add up.

I’m saying 5 fatalities reported. Kobe plus four daughters. But if you add the pilot, I assume died, that would be more than five. Just praying not all daughters on board. 

[Hate 20107]

As a Spurs fan, I respected Kobe for his talent even if I hated him (in the spirit of competition hate).  This is absolutely awful news and then hearing his children were with him makes this the worst thing I've heard in a long long time. 

[UDontKnow 10442]

Maybe the NBA should cancel all the games today. Rockets-Nuggets supposed to tip off in about 15 minutes.

[HiggyBaby 2529]

Terrible

Just got worse. It's sickening. Wasn't a fan but respected him for his play. After retirement seemed to be a good man and father. Sad.

[JFKFC 4878]

 

 

[Don Johnson 4752]

Rick Fox on board. 

[cabowabo 4484]

Was he piloting the craft?

I don't suppose Kobe was the pilot? 

[Poe It Up 126]

Welp, time to go hug my kids. This is just horrible. 

[JOSEYWALES66 1801]

Kids were NOT on board 

 

[InkaUtexas 25875]

Damn this sucks. 

 

[Dennis Taylor 18811]

Unless kobe is a pilot there is no way his 4 kids were on board, unless the count is wrong

I was thinking about this. How is she going to make it through this tragedy? I can't even begin to understand how she's feeling right now. 

 

RIP, Kobe and kids.
