So were his kids on board or not? Mainstream media news is so useless

Ya I didn’t know how to Title it because I still wasn’t sure if it was true or not when I posted it

I actually saw someone else's thread title before yours, and dead was misspelled as "ded", so that gave me some hope it was fake.

So it's been confirmed his family weren't on board? :hope:

I mean that’s what the tweet said. I hope it’s a reliable one.

Really sad... Hated him (in a sports sense) as a player, but the hatred came from the respect I had for him and his ability to take over games. Great battles against my Spurs.

RIP Black Mamba

I am in shock.

I just came into my house, turned on the TV and saw a graphic with Kobe's career highlights on the screen. I figured they were talking about Lebron passing Kobe on the scoring list last night and didn't pay much attention. Then I heard the anchor say "Kobe Bryant killed in a helicopter crash at age 41".

It was like you hit me with a sledgehammer. I'm floored. I've always been a Laker fan and Kobe was my guy. Not just my favorite Laker player, my favorite NBA player. I don't even know what to say right now. Numb is the right word.

And the more I think about it, the more I get torn up for his daughters. It's never easy to lose a parent but they are just at that age where they are starting to get to know their dad and appreciate him. To have that taken away at that point in life, utterly heartbreaking. I hurt for them most of all.
