R.I.P Kobe Bryant.

His 13yo was with him

My best Kobe moment was when he signed up for Team USA and won the gold for the redeem team.

Man his daughter died too.....

 

[mr j 858]

Man I watched Kobe from the very beginning in 1996. I was 16 and one of the first kids at my high school who had his #8 jersey.

Dude came into the league as a boss. Said on draft day he was going to win the dunk contest. Boy did he! I'll never forget that. I was like who does this dude think he is? Mamba.

Same here, I was too young for MJ's career (I'm in my mid-30s) but followed Kobe's career right from the start.

Same being born in 87. Just caught the tail end of MJ’s last years with Chicago but I watched Kobe play for nearly 20 years. He’s the MJ of this generation.

It’s my moms birthday today to who I lost to cancer a few years ago. This hurts

Keep your head up brother

Yo', it took something like this to get the Orange sphincter off of the front page. That pisses me off.

 

[Mambalorian]

Rest in power

 

[ALNotSure]

I swear if I see one tasteless meme.....

The duty-free tycoon and owner of Leicester City, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, died in a helicopter crash outside of the club’s King Power Stadium following the Foxes’ Premier League match on Saturday night.
Vichai, 60, and four other people were killed when the helicopter they were traveling in crashed in a car park just outside the stadium shortly after taking off from the pitch. On Sunday evening, Leicester City confirmed the loss of its owner.

Dude had the latest & greatest helicopter...Crashed at takeoff from his Soccer Stadium in UK

Exactly.

Plus Uber trying to get this whole helicopter ride sharing thing going...using the same chopper Kobe died in.

Uber tests helicopter ride sharing in New York

Uber Copter will offer helicopter rides in New York City through its application on 9 July as a fatal helicopter crash in that city raises safety concerns.

Lockheed out here trying to close plants and focusing on defense now too?

"Both the Sikorsky S-76D and the S-92A have sold poorly in recent years in the wake of a contracting offshore energy industry, and used models of both are for sale in plentiful supply following the bankruptcy filings of two leading offshore helicopter operators this year, PHI and Bristow Group, and helicopter lessor Waypoint late last year."

Lockheed Martin says it will now keep its Sikorsky assembly plant open in Coatesville, Pa while it tries to find additional work

Without flight recorder data (which the FAA refuses to mandate even after years of NTSB requests) how do we know this ain't a Boeing 737 Max thing?

These things don't happen for nothing.

Without flight recorders it's easy to say pilot error... especially when there's money at stake.

I just don't trust these corporations and their deregulation coveting lobbyists.

Nothing to stop them from cutting corners just like Automakers...but at least there's recalls and such for cars.

Bottom line...get those black boxes mandated.

Call it the Kobe Bill.

I just pray that Kobe had his daughter in his arms when it happened. I hope that he told her that he loves her for one last time. My only glimmer of hope is that both father and daughter will take that journey in the afterlife togheter both hand in hand.

 

[Mambalorian]

My name was for Kobe. Blackmamba was taken so I used Blackmanta instead. This is all surreal.

 

[logan2015]

Growing up as a Warriors fan in the 90s-2000s, I couldn't stand Kobe and the Lakers simply because he was that good. Like most, it was hard to really appreciate his mentality and work ethic until we got older. Rest in peace.

I know it’s random, but as rare as these are and never pop up for sale it’s so strange that they end the morning he passes.

Kobe jumper
How his legs be in the air
Looking like he gonna fall
Is one of the best looking shots

 

[masagipatron]

I was never a Lakers fan but I always put respect on Kobe's skills. Tragic news this Sunday. And the daughter died as well. 2020 is starting off on that bull****. RIP Kobe.
