    Not a fan of helo's. 30 of my Marine brothers and a corpsman went down many, many years ago in a helo crash in Iraq. No survivors. Man. I hate hearing about this or vehicle wrecks taking lives in such an instant. Kobe was really coming into his own as a man, a father, a husband, etc. You can really see how his personality started to shift for the better once basketball was coming to an end and he retired. He was really becoming passionate about story telling and coaching his daughters. I hope his family weren't part of the crash. RIP Kobe. I'll be watching his amazing highlights all day long.

    I can't even put into words how big a loss this is. I'm not even a Kobe fan and this hit me. This is so crazy. I just think about the meme of him talking to his daughter and it makes me so sad. I can't believe it.

    You just think certain people are just always going to be there and you take it for granted..

    this is crazy..

    Unbelievable....truly a sad day in the sports universe. RIP Black Mamba. You were truly a bad ass and wished more players today had the killer instinct you had.

    Yeah I'm never stepping foot on a helicopter or small plane.

    First Roy Halladay crashing his little plane, now Kobe on the helicopter

    You don't have any empathy. True empathy would wait at least a moment before dragging out the worst moment of a 41 year life. Probably best stay away from this one if you don't want to destroy your reputation on here.
