Kobe Bryant is dead to me

WTF?!

Is it this accident?

Wooooow...if true.

Holy shit.

Damn that was unexpected.

It's not true until the Daily Mail reports it.

Dibs on his stuff.

Woooow

Helicopter crash in Calabasas. Wife and kids not on board, but all five aboard dead.

Only TMZ reporting his name, but the LA Times confirmed the crash details.

OK did ANYBODY have him in the 2020 death pool?

Watch him be canonized and his rape completely forgotten.

At least he got to see LeBron overtake his scoring record last night.

Lol. That was my first thought, R10.

Kobe didn't rape anybody, asshole.

What was on his ipod?

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Only TMZ confirming thus far but this does not seem like something they'd make up, like a celeb affair

Holy Motherfucker

ESPN radio not mentioning it so far.

Definitely dead. Not a hoax.

[quote]What was on his ipod?

Burn, Baby, Burn (Disco Inferno)

Who will take over his vast beef empire?

A lot of crying at the Grammys tonight. Didn’t Whitney die a week or so before the Grammys?

Local ABC affiliate in CA confirming :(

The Sky is Falling by Hall & Oates

Isn't this year's Grammys mired in scandal? This is the best thing that could have happened to it.

R13, he admitted that his (inconsequential) victim “thought” she hadn’t consented.

If all passengers were male, his iPod could’ve had “It’s Raining Men.”

Well at least he didn't die doing what he loved (raping people).

Has Susan Dey commented yet?

The man who made the world safe for ass rapists.

I'm feeling pretty lost and broken right now about this news. Poor Kobe. He was a great man!

Calabasas?? Maybe some Kardashians were collateral damage??!!

His Wiki page already has his date of death and that he “was a basketball player....”

Holy fucking shit .. this is legit shocking

Who was he again?

[quote] I'm feeling pretty lost and broken right now.

So is he.

From Wiki:

Sexual assault allegation In the summer of 2003, the sheriff's office of Eagle, Colorado, arrested Bryant in connection with an investigation of a sexual assault complaint filed by a 19-year-old hotel employee. Bryant had checked into The Lodge and Spa at Cordillera in Eagle County in advance of undergoing knee surgery nearby. The accuser stated that Bryant raped her in his hotel room the night before Bryant was to have the procedure. Bryant admitted to an adulterous sexual encounter with his accuser but denied her sexual assault allegation.[400][401]

The accusation tarnished Bryant's reputation, and the public's perception of him plummeted; his endorsement contracts with McDonald's and Nutella were terminated. Sales for Bryant's replica jersey fell significantly from their previous highs.[402] However, in September 2004, the assault case was dropped by prosecutors after the accuser refused to testify at the trial. Afterward, Bryant agreed to apologize to her for the incident, including his public mea culpa: "Although I truly believe this encounter between us was consensual, I recognize now that she did not and does not view this incident the same way I did. After months of reviewing discovery, listening to her attorney, and even her testimony in person, I now understand how she feels that she did not consent to this encounter."[403][404] The accuser filed a separate civil lawsuit against Bryant, which the two sides settled privately.

Wow 2020 has to be the most crazy year. Fucking crazy.

KABC in Los Angeles has confirmed...Kobe Bryant has been killed in a helicopter crash.

I am really sad. I know many of you DL people jerks but please pray or at least think of his family, colleagues and fans. He left behind a wife and four little girls. They must be devastated.

R35 He was the guy who invented Kobe Beef

It's interesting that the TMZ article and another article I found on this are now both (out of service) and can't be reached.

R40 I think he has a newborn daughter. Pretty sad.

Could you please stop bringing up the sexual assault. It’s over.

[quote]He left behind a wife and four little girls.

Nobody needs to have four kids in this day and age.

Variety just confirmed too. (Because Los Angeles?)

His statement about it was terrible, saying basically, "Although to me it wasn't rape, I can see that you thought it was." Ouch.

[quote]I know many of you DL people jerks

Wow!

What R45 said. Four kids is two too many.

KABC in Los Angeles has confirmed...Kobe Bryant has been killed in a helicopter crash.

Still nothing on ESPN.

STOP TALKING ABOUT TOM BRADY, DIPSHITS!

Twitter is really struggling right now

OK, ESPN just confirmed it.

Is Twitter down?

[quote] It's interesting that the TMZ article and another article I found on this are now both (out of service) and can't be reached.

Could it be because everyone is going to those sites and they crashed? I mean, it’s been confirmed by every other news source.

Stfu R45. Who the fuck are you to judge anybody?

Wow. I don't care about sports but it's still shocking.

How sad. He was one of the most respectable intelligent players out there. Went to a local school too. A reminder : don’t waste time being miserable because you might die tomorrow.

Of course, just excuse sexual assault r44. You're an asshole and reason why people don't come forward.

Let's not canonize this RAPIST.

I think he had 5 NBA rings and all sorts of scoring records. Was even 40?

Poor dead rapist.

Also, RIP to the “and others.”

I don’t follow sports, either, but recognize the magnitude of this.

Omg! I'm totally shocked at this.

Has anybody asked ME how I am?

- Meghan, Duchess of Sussex (HRH)

Well done OP. DL is on top of it! First reporting.

Why are we feeling so bad for a multimillionaire rapist? He wasn't a hero. He was an amazing basketball player who was very flawed, like most people. That's all.

Statistically, he was more likely to be murdered by another POC, than to die in a helicopter crash.

Damn, he was on my prospect list.

I guess he defied those odds, R68.

His daughter Gianna is a great basketball player! He was very supportive of her and coaching other kids as well.

Who is statistically likely to die in a helicopter crash?

R59 = Rose McGowan.

It’s weird, I’m watching MSNBC and they reported the copter crash but NO mention of Kobe.

[quote] I'm feeling pretty lost and broken right now about this news.

Why? I mean, it's shocking and all, but he was pretty much an asshole.

Anita must be devastated.

Good point, R72. I guess it would be people who ride in them all the time, as apparently he did. Was he the pilot or just a passenger? And how many people can a helicopter hold, anyway? Thought it was only 2.

A famous black person always seems to die within a day of the Grammys. Whitney Houston, now this!

ESPN Radio LA should stop using the term “passed away.” He was FUCKING KILLED. He’s dead.

Don’t helicopters seem to crash A LOT?

How can anyone other than a family member or a close friend seriously be "lost" and "broken" over this news?

MARY!!!

Yes, R80. You couldn't pay me to go in one.

CNN reporting five dead. No names.

He can't rape anyone again. He's always been a smug fuck. I do feel bad for his kids. Didn't he have all daughters?

Shit, this completely shocked me when I saw it.

Kobe is definitely one of the most famous athletes in history.

CNN confirming Kobe is now dead at age 41.

CNN reporting doing highlights of his life. I guess they had to inform his family first before releasing. Perhaps his wife found on TMZ who knows.

Whoa.

Datalounge sure beat MSNBC in reporting this. They JUST NOW confirmed it--all surprised! I'm like, yeah, uh-huh...

His sexual assaults never happened again. That was a one time thing. Usually there's a pattern with criminal behavior.

Which leads me to believe it was a money grab on her part or the truth lies somewhere in the middle. She consented to sex but changed her mind and he was too busy in his own orgasm to notice.

Yes r2.

[quote]Who is statistically likely to die in a helicopter crash?

helicopter pilots?

TV weathermen?

I wonder if his penis got severed from his body on impact?

This is why real news is dead. No one wants to wait to read about it after it’s been verified, fact-checked, written well. We just want clickbait 2 sentence breaking news - and we couldn’t care less about accuracy. Sigh.

That helicopter was meant for me. I know it. My in-laws want me out of the way.

CNN has these tapes ready to go for celebrities, right? Maybe some light updating but they probably have a collection of celebrity death reels on hand that they can air asap.

BBC now reporting it in UK.

Damn. This really fucking sucks.

Here comes the Facebook grief. I hope his loved ones were reached before the news went wild.

Oh yeah, RIP "and others"

R96 They do for older celebrities but I doubt CNN has an obituary ready to go for someone as young as Kobe Bryant.

[quote]Helicopter crash in Calabasas

Why oh why couldn't it have landed on a Kardashian or two?

What was on his iPod?

At least he could afford to take care of them all R45. Lots of people have a lot of kids and abuse the welfare system.

I don't think your lament applies here, R94. There was no lack of accuracy in this case.

I hope Shobe's holding it together.

NBC was repotting that his four daughters may have been the other passengers.

Heaven needed another rapist.

Absolutely shocked and devastated. God be with his children

Has anybody asked ME how I am?

- Meghan, Duchess of Sussex (HRH)

He had a hot ass but he could ‘t live forever.

R106 God I hope not. That's terrible.

R98 why does this “suck?” He was paid more than most people could even imagine to throw a ball through a hoop.

He had a good life. People die.

Damn, his children were onboard.

He's fine. He sends his love.

Fuck off R112.

Kobe should be served rare - not well done.

Rest in Pieces.

Never take helicopters. They're the least safe way to fly.

R101 or maybe 10.

Arguably his money led to his death. Looking forward to see "why" he was in a helicopter.

Will Don Lemon cry??

Lipstick alley is saying that his kids were on the helicopter.

Any other centimillionaires died in the crash?

Sincerely hope that his children weren’t with him.

r112 because death is final. Most functioning humans appreciate the idea of a full life. His, and his daughters' lives. ended a lot sooner than expected. Money doesn't mean shit when it come to death.

R120, and that they may have been headed to the Grammys.

I another realm, in another way we will all gather and remember our time on this planet.

I haven’t heard that his kids were aboard. Was he the pilot? There are 5 dead... if there was a pilot that doesn’t work. If the kids were aboard, holy shit. But I don’t think they were.

[quote] Looking forward to see "why" he was in a helicopter.

In order to pretend he was the Flying Nun, Rose.

Oh please God his kids weren’t with him. They’re all girls?

I pray his daughters weren’t there. R124 If true I can’t imagine Grammys going on tonight.

I'll wait to see it confirmed by media that his daughters were with him. There's always a lot of rumors when someone famous dies. Hopefully not.

Helicopters and motorcycles are death wishes.

MARY R125!!!

One kid was just born last summer. He had three older ones.

I really hope his daughters weren’t in the crash.

What celebs live in Calabasas? Justin Bieber, no? Just wondering if Kobe was giving anyone a ride.

A helicopter?? Ride in a limousine like normal people.

Twitter is saying the daughters were with him, let's hope it's a false report

Rick Fox was on board too?

I like that none of the obituaries that I've seen have mentioned the rape.

"If true I can’t imagine Grammys going on tonight."

MARY R129!!!

Gotta give it up to TMZ. They broke the story way before anyone.

R136 thanks. Hadn't read the first 30 comments.

[quote]What celebs live in Calabasas?

I don't know why but I find this fucking funny.

Let's hope Justin was with him, R134.

His daughter was an Ariana Grande fan. I hope Ariana dedicates her Album Of Yhe Year grammy to them and Mac Miller tonihht.

Recent photo with new baby.

Grammy weekend must be cursed.

Wow! Sad.

One comment on TMZ: Hello everybody before you start offering condolences you should know his children were in the helicopter with him and they are all dead including his newborn child.

Heartbreaking!!! Beyond sadness!!!!

An ABC Network Correspondent reported that his four daughters were onboard, but as everyone pointed out if that's true and everyone onboard was killed then that means six fatalities, counting the pilot. If it's true I think it's three of his daughters and the newborn stayed at home with his wife.

I'm lighting up my vagina candle in honor.

Goop

He was so sweet when he was on Ellen. He seemed like such a nice guy.

Even the baby was on the helicopter with him? Damn. His poor wife. He had no pilot?

Yashar Ali 🐘 @yashar

3. An on-air ABC News report has given people the impression that Kobe Bryant's daughters were on board the helicopter.

So far no one else has that reporting and that reporting isn't contained in ABC News digital story which I've linked in this tweet.

The reports are saying that five people on board were killed. Was he a licensed helicopter pilot?

God I hate people. The slightest whiff of a rumor and "HIS DAUGHTERS ARE DEAD!"

I second your, "MARY!" R139.

Easily the most shocking celebrity death since Princess Diana in 1997.

Some local reporter bitch from Cleveland claimed the daughters were on board too.

He may have been an asshole and a rapist, but he was very young, so it’s legitimately shocking that he’s dead. He was a great player. Hope the kids were not really on the helicopter too.

God was his copilot.

Wow, if his children were on board that changes this crash from a sad event to being an absolute fucking tragedy.

Apparently ABC is reporting that four of his kids and Rick Fox were on the helicopter.

[quote]Was he a licensed helicopter pilot?

According to a comment on Twitter, he was.

Was his therapist on board?

[quote] He was the guy who invented Kobe Beef

That is a lie. He merely obtained the exclusive US marketing rights.

If the daughter were there, with him, they need to inform next of kin. This media frenzy must be painful beyond belief for them.

#BREAKING: ABC News is reporting that Kobe Bryant's 4 young daughters were on the plane with him when the helicopter crashed

[quote] And how many people can a helicopter hold, anyway? Thought it was only 2.

You watched too much MASH.

Helicopters can be huge and hold a lot of pax.

R112, you truly need Jesus. Today.

So young.

So wife is all that' s left. Wow.

Why would you even ask such a weird questuon, R93?

If Rick Fox really was aboard, we can at least feel bad for Vanessa Williams.

So he was piloting the helicopter?

I loved him in Space Jam. RIP

R109 r165 already did it.

And I suspect you’re the same person since neither of you know how to use the signature box.

I think it was the newborn, R175.

RIP to his angels. This is the most shocking news in a long time.

[quote] Helicopters can be huge and hold a lot of pax.

Not me.

5 bodies but supposedly 4 daughters, Kobe, the pilot and now Rick Fox are all dead. Was Jimmy Hoff also on board?

[quote]Was he a licensed helicopter pilot?

This never ends well.

This is very sad. But I still think he raped that woman.

I don't see why he would have had the newborn with him. But I really hope none of the daughters were onboard.

Exactly, R183.

God comfort us. This is so horrible

I would have to agree with R183 and R186.

[quote] God comfort us.

*eyeroll*

Now the reporting is that the daughters were NOT aboard. No word on Rick Fox, though.

Why couldn’t it of been Dump and his 4 kids? Why oh why?!?

Why is NOBODY talking about he ZERO trans women on color who have been murdered so far this year???

Y’all are erasing us.

R189, shut up, bitch!

Yes. He has his own Personal Helicopter and could fly. However, supposedly he had his own Pilot he would have fly him.

What about his wife or ex wife Vanessa? Surely she wasn't in the crash. That's got to be devastating.

I don't care about basketball and didn't particularly follow Kobe, but this death is chilling, I'm truly shaken. These helicopters, man - a must to avoid imho.

I'm in LA, and it's hard to think of a bigger LA icon. And it's such an LA death, helicopter crash in Calabasas. Of course there is huge coverage right now on the local channels. The TV hosts are genuinely upset, trembling voices that seem actually sincere for a change.

People are always gossipy and irresponsible when things like this happen.

DM Headline: Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, 41, is killed in Calabasas helicopter crash on hill behind Kourtney Kardashian's house along with four others onboard"

SO CLOSE!

I see no reputable sources for the Rick Fox rumor

[quote] Why couldn’t it of been

Oh, DEAR!

God needed another basketball player.

R197 why?

-a fellow non-sportsy Angeleno

Remember, his wife has been with him since High School. Her entire adult life, Koby has been in her life. I honestly have no idea how someone begins to move on from the loss of their spouse of 20 years AND your children. Not enough money in the world to make that right.

[quote] Grammy weekend must be cursed.

Yes, hon. That's a likely explanation.

Rick Fox's daughter confirms he was not with Kobe.

[quote] God needed another basketball player.

Why is everyone looking at me?

TMZ reporting his 13-year-old daughter was on board

TMZ reporting two of his daughters were onboard and on their way to Mamba Academy. His wife, or widow, will never get over this. This is so sad.

r199 that was the first post to make me chuckle. Will this air on KUUWTK?

R209 Sorry, one of them.

OMG. Is Vanessa Williams dead??

R208 wow absolutely horrible

Imagine the devastation if the helicopter had landed on a Kardashian.

[quote] I honestly have no idea how someone begins to move on from the loss of their spouse of 20 years AND your children.

Try a spouse of 65+ years. And there’s nothing confirming his kids were on board.

I grew up in LA. Still live here. Kobe is the best Laker of all time. I am a basketball junkie. Kobe was magical. He gave us five rings. I can't believe he's gone.

Imagine, if he had not been filthy rich, he would have to drive everywhere like the rest of us plebes, and they would still be alive.

His daughter was gorgeous. So awful.

You can see on his IG his daughters were so beautiful.

Somebody post a legitimate TMZ link about his daughters because I don’t see anything.

wow crazy but the last week I was just thinking to myself it's been a while since we had a major celebrity tragic death. I mean most of the ones who've died in the last year were older and sick

this is a real shock. I feel for his family

Can confirm former @lakers star Rick Fox WAS NOT among the passengers on the helicopter with Kobe Bryant. Source: his daughter.

I heard Lady Gaga and Billie Eilish were also on board.

[quote] TMZ reporting two of his daughters were onboard and on their way to Mamba Academy.

All for a dance class!

It feels like a President has died

If only, R224.

I’ve told anyone that would listen that those colossal Kardashian booties can take down aircraft!

Yes TMZ says his 13-year-old was with him. Fuck.

Is Liza safe?

Literally a 20min drive from Calabasas to Newbury Park so ridiculous and wasteful to take a helicopter. Ego killed him.

R204. Kobe did not meet his wife until 1999. He was already a star player. Lebron has been with his since high school.

Are the Kartrashians posting Instagram stories of the smoke at Kourtney’s?

I know of his daughter Gianna from the Kobe-Explaining-Things meme.

[quote] I mean most of the ones who've died in the last year were older and sick

None of them were older.

Thoughts and prayers.

I think this is the oldest daughter. RIP.

I just want to get this out of the way because we know how it turns out: expect nothing from that bitch Susan Dey.

Vanessa Bryant's IG and Twitter are private. I hope that means she's alive and was home with the kids.

CNN MSNBC nor Fox are reporting it was his daughter

Little known trivia—his mother named him Kobe because she had Kobe beef the night he was conceived.

Of course it was the fake-ass Kobe beef, not the real stuff.

Does it really matter now when Coby met his wife?

I can’t get on TMZ

He killed his daughter to avoid a 30 minute drive.

It's awful, but so so so so stupid.

Personally, I blame Meghan Markle.

No more than good spelling, R240.

Just the one daughter was killed or several? He had four daughters.

CNN reporting weather was "foggy" - seems to be a weather-related incident, they're saying.

Well, this certainly casts a pall over the Grammys.

KTLA reporting, yes, oldest daughter Gianna on board, not confirmed tho.

The story right under the Kobe news on TMZ is about gorilla mating rituals.

R246 can confirm it was foggy this morning in LA. even stupider to take a chopper instead of a short drive.

Well, R248, life goes on.

Please Dear GOD let Bernie Sanders have been on board.

No matter how rich, powewrful or successful you are, we all end up the same way... RIP Kobe, a legend in life and now a legend forever

I've heard of him but had absolutely no real idea what he did. Maybe sports? Why is he being discussed on DL? Honestly this is a terrible tragedy but to revere someone and pay them ludicrous amounts of money for putting a ball through a hoop is obscene.

I hope Trump was visiting under the crash.

R248 just made me laugh so hard. I love you.

Too bad the helicopter didn’t fall on Brett Kavanaugh.

[quote]He killed his daughter to avoid a 30 minute drive.

And they could have been killed in a traffic accident instead. Life happens.

So many Basketball 🏀 teams try to land on the Kardashian properties that they had to build a landing strip!

Who hasn’t heard of Kobe? Seriously. I remember a few months ago an eldergay claimed they never heard of Michael Jordan. That seems IMPOSSIBLE.

R246 It was VERY foggy in LA this morning. Like, we commented on it foggy.

Small wonder it crashed, that helicopter had to be huge to carry that many people.

They were a beautiful family.

He didn’t rape that white girl...he probably treated her like he treats all groupies...she thought she was special.

[quote]Is Liza safe?

Liza is safe in the sense of being so intoxicated she wouldn’t even know if a helicopter crashed outside her window.

I thought Koby lives in Newport so that's a lot of time saved via a chopper. That said, taking a helicopter everywhere is excessive as hell. But, helicopters have a lower accident rate than cars so in the end it's all a game of chance.

The person who manages his instagram disabled comments (from us peasants at least)

MARY R252!!!

Tots and playerschz.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Which Kardashians had fucked him??

He was apparently in a Sikorsky, which can hold up to 12 people.

How come when I refresh this thread not all the posts will load? Like the last 30 posts will not load.

[quote]I thought Koby lives in Newport so that's a lot of time saved via a chopper.

An eternity.

Kardashians don't get high quality athletes. They get the low rent ones.

R271 he owned it.

WTF IM COMPLETELY SHOCKED

this’s telling me that life’s too short. Anything can happen to you at anytime 😳😳

[quote]He was apparently in a Sikorsky, which can hold up to 12 people.

I think you mean a Kardashian, don't you?

He was a doting daddy.

[quote] No matter how rich, powewrful or successful you are, we all end up the same way...

As a dead rapist?

"Bryant had a helicopter that he typically took to home games. He says it saved him from sitting in traffic and kept his body fresh."

UM.....

What are the Grammy producers going to do? This is all anybody is going to be talking about.

This is just like when Whitney Houston died the night before the Grammys.

[quote] this’s telling me

Oh Jesus.

DM just confirmed - I got the alert on my phone. It was the eldest daughter.

Interesting analysis on the route of the helicopter on cnn. Already.

We'll never see that sex tape now...

I hope no tiny babies were on board. 😭

As far as I recall Kobe still lives in Newport Beach which is pretty far away from Newbury Park. The drive would be awful even on a Sunday!

Gianna aboArd

At least now he will be forever young.

[quote]this’s telling me that life’s too short. Anything can happen to you at anytime

Meh, not to a DLer. The reason we have so many eldergays is because no one ever actually leaves their home.

Hearing it was a Sikorsky sends chills. There was a devastating Newfoundland crash involving a Sikorsky chopper on March 12, 2009 that killed 17 of 18 people onboard. The lawsuit claimed almost $27-million for combined damages and losses from the crash. It says Sikorsky used a "flawed" analysis to claim its helicopter could run without oil in its main gearbox for 30 minutes.

Some perspective on this...tomorrow is the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

No it was the middle child, the 13 year old. One of Koby's people confirmed. Oh, and the wife found out right around the time that TMZ broke the news, I bet that's fun.

TMZ is very accurate with death reports, moreso than The Daily Mail

Well now we can't talk about it because R292 mentioned (the Holocaust.)

Nobody tops me for death accuracy.

Gianna aboard

It's weird - DM UK has it has the headline about the daughter, but DM US does not. I imagine it is for respect of the family?

Most important factoid: The crash apparently occurred behind the home of Kourtney Kardashian

R281 I don't know. They can say some condolences but Kobe Bryant didn't sing, so... Whitney actually was a musician!

A Sikorsky? Isn’t that one of these? It looks to me like it can only hold maybe two.

Guys, the Grammys are in a couple hours!!! Tons of Kobe's friends are going to be in attendance. I can't even imagine the chaos that's about to take place tonight.

What will Ryan Seacrest say? What will Alicia Keys say?

All NBA games suspended

[quote]That said, taking a helicopter everywhere is excessive as hell.

“Oh, and the wife found out right around the time that TMZ broke the news, I bet that's fun.”

Awful if true. Media organizations are supposed to wait until after the immediate family has been notified before announcing this kind of news.

[quote]It's weird - DM UK has it has the headline about the daughter, but DM US does not. I imagine it is for respect of the family?

I would think it's something else. Respect isn't the Daily Mail's strong suit.

R295, and that's why people roll their eyes at this point, because we all know death isn't exclusive to the Holocaust, but here we are again with certain people trying to make it about death only being important if you're of a certain background.

Cancel the Grammys. The City is devastated

More importantly, what will the yentas on The View say?

The scene at LA Live #Kobe

He was hot

This new blonde dyke anchor on MSNBC is horrible

[quote] legitimate TMZ link

Oxymoron

I'm sure the wife is hysterical, shedding years, greiving, screaming and being given a Valium or some type of sedative. As she should be. This is the worst thing in the world to go through.

I never thought I'd say this but I feel very bad for Vanessa.

. ESPN is reporting that another player (besides Kobe’s daughter Gigi) and parent of that player were on board.

I only brought it up because the anniversary is tomorrow, R307.

Tyson Chandler is heartbroken; I’m sure every player on that court is heartbroken

These games shouldn’t take place right now; emotions are taking over.

They will fight to the death backstage at the Grammy's to be able to sing Amazing Grace acapella. Oprah will win.

R22 This brings me back to Whitney Houston dying the day of the Grammys. Spooky.

It's one thing to lose your husband, but losing your kid - you never get over that. Unless it was on cruise ship.

Yeah, if I got this kind of news I would want to be heavily sedated.

Whitney was one of the best singers in America and Kobe wasn't.

Omg. So sad. I am truly HEARTBROKEN

No, Elton, he didn’t die in the nude!! God, give it a rest!

Why, R320?? Whitney was a singer and Grammy winner, Kobe was a basketball player.

I don't see how the Grammys can go on tonight. They really should be cancelled. This is not a time for a frivolous awards ceremony.

Vanessa Bryant and Vanessa Williams

Was his helicopter hit with an unwanted missile up the tailpipe?

Kobe was a bigger icon than Whitney though.

R317, and guess what? Bibi is currently USING it to try and get another war started with Iran - that's why mentioning it continues to lose credibility because the people who should know better are using it as a cudgel to get even more unnecessary death in war. Just today, he used it for that purpose.

[quote]This is not a time for a frivolous awards ceremony.

You're unAmerican.

R330 STFU it’s not the time to compare who is the bigger icon. Stupid prick

I'm Devastated.

Cancel the Impeacment !

Iran did it! Can we get our war now?

[quote] The drive would be awful even on a Sunday!

Well the ride this time didn’t seem any less awful.

[quote]Was his helicopter hit with an unwanted missile up the tailpipe?

There's no such thing.

He spoke fluent Italian.

[quote]Whitney actually was a musician!

[quote]His daughter Gianna is a great basketball player! He was very supportive of her and coaching other kids as well.

She was with him. She was 13.

[quote] I'm sure the wife is hysterical, shedding years,

She’s going back in time?!

Maybe she can meet him again and tell him not to fly today.

Well, the Nword has been used on MSNBC. What a fucking day!

Not a lot of people have asked if I'm OK.

I prefer the Dolly version over the Kobe one for sure. So much more heartfelt and powerful.

MARY R327!!!

[quote] This is not a time for a frivolous awards ceremony.

He was a basketball player, MARY! This is not a national tragedy.

I like my Kobe medium rare, though.

His death definitely crashed Twitter.

All the Bros are posting RIP etc (eyeroll)

Brad Goreski is crying on E!

The E! Grammy red carpet hosts look completely shell-shocked.

The goddamn ESPN LA host is STILL referring to Bryant having “passed away.” He’s not your grandma lying peacefully on her deathbed, you moron. He’s DEAD. He was KILLED. Maybe when the story shifts to the daughter being on board will make him change his wording

What job did Alison Morris have at MSNBC until a few minutes ago?

R343, it’s been done to death.

[quote]I'm sure the wife is hysterical, shedding years, greiving, screaming and being given a Valium or some type of sedative.

Just don’t get into a bathtub.

Grammys are cancelled.

California closing all municipalities until Weds.

R350 he is laughing and speaking about his love for Lizzo and Cardi B 🙄

[quote] Who hasn’t heard of Kobe? Seriously.

Not everyone here is American; there are fans of American basketball all over the world, but it's generally more of a niche interest internationally.

The saddest day in sports history!! Life is a mist! Rest In Peace Kobe.

James 4:14 “Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.”

That poor little girl. Vanessa is a bitch but I can't imagine what she's going through right now (the comments on her Insta have just been disabled).

The comment about how losing a kid is something you never get over is true.

r331

Go fuck yourself, you piece of shit.

This is shocking. Every teenage boys and man in the world know who Kobe is, so does every gold digging whores

Certainly the Grammys going on in the place he played his whole career I can assume they will pay some kind of tribute be a moment of silence or just a special mention.

TMZ is reporting one daughter was on board.

I lost someone in a public tragedy a few years ago. I wouldn't wish grieving in a spotlight on my worst enemy. Well...maybe.

Thanks, R353. People like you are so valuable.

Vanessa Bryant was often rumored to be heavily sedated, especially after the rape. They had some serious marriage problems but obviously seemed to have put them behind them.

[quote]They will fight to the death backstage at the Grammy's to be able to sing Amazing Grace acapella. Oprah will win.

No. I win. No one doesn’t understand subtlety more than me.

MSNBC briefly mentioned his sexual assault just now.

[quote] The saddest day in sports history!!

Really, R358? Really?

Oh, no. They were just a meme. It was a such a sweet moment between the two of them.

Are the Hoes over at LSA okay? I assume there is a lot of throwing yourself over a coffin histrionic behavior happening now.

MSNBC announcer mentioned the sexual assault allegations barely at all and said Bryant became a "proponent of gender equality."

Oh, please.

Is there now officially a Grammy Curse?

Alison Morris is now being gleefully attacked by right wing pundits who say her slip proves the hypocrisy of liberal media.

Why would the Grammys be affected by this? He wasn’t a musical figure.

Marriage is hard. Everybody has marital problems. You bitches who just want to focus on the negative need help. A legend and his child died today and died tragically. Clearly some of you don't understand the pain of loss. This is truly a dark day.

R341 fuck you for making me LOL

[quote] Why would the Grammys be affected by this? He wasn’t a musical figure.

Because the Grammys is a live spectacle on the day of the tragedy. There are very few live tv events anymore.

He grew up in Italy. His dad played for an Italian team. That's why he speaks Italiano.

Shame on that anchor for saying that. Isn't it crazy how saying a word can get you fired.

Make that 'death toll rises by one in Bryant crash.'

R360, fuck you for not being able to handle precisely what he did during the Holocaust memorial. He mentioned Iran - like he did with Iraq back when he pushed that war, too. Didn't you hear, fuckface? He also absolved Hitler several years back and attempted to blame the Palestinians for the Holocaust.

Can't handle precisely what they're doing, idiot? USING IT FOR A WAR. You want me to pull up his speeches, asshole? Where he constantly uses the Holocaust to scapegoat people who had nothing do with it and get wars started?

MARY R376!!!!!!!

Give it a rest, R381. You're taking the fun away from this thread.

[quote] The saddest day in sports history!!

I would disagree with you.

This is a classic DL thread: death, wit, stupidity, hall monitors, intraposter fuck you-ing.... sudden celebrity death really brings out the best in the joint,.

CNN reporting from his school. Saying coach "Downer" (sp?) is too upset to speak.

I just feel so sad

[quote] Every teenage boys and man in the world know who Kobe is

Well, was anyway.

[quote] Alison Morris is now being gleefully attacked by right wing pundits who say her slip proves the hypocrisy of liberal media.

What slip?

Is everyone able to breath?

R204 his name is Kobe, not fu&&ing KOBY! Get it right!

Kobe’s Beef

[quote] Vanessa is a bitch but I can't imagine what she's going through

What a weird comment. She lost her daughter and you think this needed to be said?

[quote]What job did Alison Morris have at MSNBC until a few minutes ago?

She’s always on during weekends. That white bitch thinks she can steal my job.

Has Dyan Cannon issued a statement?

Someone from his former high school were he played basketball before joining the NBA is currently giving as live press conference on CNN. Lol.

It’s definitely the saddest day in sports history. The nation is stopped today. Only Roberto Clemente and Len Bias’ deaths come close

[quote]wow crazy but the last week I was just thinking to myself it's been a while since we had a major celebrity tragic death. I mean most of the ones who've died in the last year were older and sick

I had similar thoughts back in December around the time of the anniversary of Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds' deaths. This is quite sad as Kobe's daughter also died.

R390 see R342

I wish Shobe would check in. I'm sure she is devastated.

[quote]Alison Morris is now being gleefully attacked by right wing pundits who say her slip proves the hypocrisy of liberal media.

Oh, please. The difference is that she said the word in error unlike those on the right who say it for pleasure, so she should tell them to go fuck themselves.

[quote] Only Roberto Clemente and Len Bias’ deaths come close

HELLLLLOOOOOO!

R397 see r387

[quote] but losing your kid - you never get over that.

Losing what now?

R383 Nice muscle slut shirt on Kobe!

A crying man right now on MSNBC. Give me a break.

Is Meghan McCain ok? How will she deal with this tomorrow on The View?

Was Anita Bryant on board?

[quote] It’s definitely the saddest day in sports history.

How do you figure that, R398? There have been far more tragic deaths in pro sports.

Who is hosting the Grammys?

Most people may know who he is, but not everyone was a fan.

It's ok for Warren to attack Pete's character and accuse him of selling ambassadorships but GOD FORBID anyone use a snake emjoji

Kobe's home was the Staples Center where the Grammys are being held tonight. As if the Grammys wasn't already going to be wild with all the scandals this week, now this!

[quote] Most people may know who he is

Again, was.

Do we know yet where they were headed and who else was on board/klled?

Such a double tragedy to the family. Can't imagine losing both a husband/daughter, father/sibling.

How the fuck does TMZ find out everything so fast?

[quote]It's ok for Warren to attack Pete's character and accuse him of selling ambassadorships but GOD FORBID anyone use a snake emjoji

[italic]RAN-[/italic][bold]DOM![/bold]

[quote]I don't see how the Grammys can go on tonight. They really should be cancelled. This is not a time for a frivolous awards ceremony.

Are these people serious or parodies? If serious, I can't imagine how you survive in the world.

When they broke into programming with the Breaking News banner, I hoped Trump had dropped dead. Then, the anchor said there was sad news to report and I knew it wasn't Trump. That made me sad.

DM Headline: Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, 41, is killed in Calabasas helicopter crash on hill behind Kourtney Kardashian's house along with four others onboard"

SO CLOSE!

You're sick R199 - but very funny.

I can just imagine Kourtney sitting around her house, rage texting Kim while completely oblivious to the carnage just outside her door.

[quote]How the fuck does TMZ find out everything so fast?

They have really good loyalty card.

In my high school, a woman lost her husband and two sons in a place crash.

2020 is starting out like 2016. Remember that shock death of David Bowie? That was in January (the 10th). And Abe Vigoda died on this day in 2016. Coincidence? I think not.

Evan Rachel Wood: He was also a rapist.

Hugely tragic. Football lost a great man today!

R411 Alicia Keyes

Warren is an evil hypocritical corporate cunt. The elites may want her to happen but she will NOT happen!

[quote]Evan Rachel Wood: He was also a rapist.

Prediction: she'll delete that tweet.

R416, One network is reporting they were headed to the daughter's basketball game.

Kobe and his daughter were on their way to basketball practice. They had one of her player friends and her father on the helicopter with them. It's thought that they would go from there to the Grammys.

How the hell did Pete and Warren wind up in the middle of this?

Remember when he called a ref a f**?

*plane crash

My uncle was killed in an airplane crash and my grandma was never the same. She would never fly in a plane after that. So, this is going to be a real pain that Vanessa will live with for the rest of her life. So devastating.

[quote]And Abe Vigoda died on this day in 2016.

Abe Vigoda is dead?! Now, this day is truly tragic.

The grimreaper must but on TMZ's payroll. Amazing how fast they got news of celebrity death.

[quote] In my high school, a woman lost her husband and two sons in a place crash.

Someone should’ve told them not to get between a bitch and her place settings. They will cut a bitch over less.

R420, I’m with ya.

R418 TMZ have a staff member at the LAPD at all times. Them and the Associated Press.

Oh, dear, Sarah Michelle Gellar just tweeted that “fans of the film Airplane must be in tears over the passing of one of its favorite cast members.”

How sad. I always liked him, and from most accounts, he was a nice guy. I was impressed with his Italian as well.

[quote] fuck you for not being able to handle precisely what he did during the Holocaust memorial. He mentioned Iran

Wow, how dare a Jew mention the genocidal antisemites of today while talking about the genocidal antisemites of yesterday. Of course, back then your ilk accused Jews who talked about [italic]those[/italic] genocidal antisemites of "warmongering" as well.

[quote] Where he constantly uses the Holocaust to scapegoat people who had nothing do with it and get wars started?

The fucking nerve of you cunt to accuse Jews of "scapegoating" Jew killers like the Iranian regime or al-Husseini, given the central role of scapegoating Jews in history - there's really nothing antisemitic lowlifes like you like better than trying to project your own behaviour onto Jews, is there?

The FanGhouls are converging upon the crash site.

And the kardASSians are really pissed.

When I heard MSNBC first announce his death, I got chills and teared up. It’s just so horrible

Damn! I loved his steaks.

Not to make light of Kobe and his daughter's death, but there is another family that is dealing with the death of two family members.

MSNBC: "A John Lennon moment...a JFK, Jr moment..."

From TMZ . . .

Kobe's daughter Gianna Maria Onore -- aka GiGi -- was also on board the helicopter and died in the crash ... reps for Kobe tell TMZ Sports. She was 13.

We're told they were on their way to the Mamba Academy for a basketball practice when the crash occurred. The Academy is in nearby Thousand Oaks.

R441 she hasn’t tweeted anything since November

A Princess Diana moment...

Uh oh.

Uh oh.

R445 did you stay tuned???

David Stern Also just died

Taking your helicopter to basketball practice in that weather is la traffic that bad?

Each man's death diminishes me, For I am involved in mankind. Therefore, send not to know For whom the bell tolls, It tolls for thee.

R447: who?

Will Meghan McCain somehow make this about her tomorrow on The View?

In the hills behind the Kardashian house. Amazing how so much in pop culture somehow leads back to them.

R425 What a cunt!

Prediction for the next two celeb deaths- Betty White and Keith Richards

Okay DL, I'll give you a scoop and some speculation. Kobe was said to be on his way to Mamba in Thousand Oaks for his daughter. But my nephew is playing at a Kobe sponsored tournament in Camarillo today and Kobe was going to be there to present the championship trophy later in the day. Then to the Grammys. Thus, the helicopter.

Fake, r452.

As they desire, R460.

Holy crap, R453!!

RIP Colby Brian.

R458 we don't know who they were. Just that they were on the helicopter with Kobe and his daughter. So it is the pilot, Kobe and his daughter and father and his daughter that were killed.

The Kardashians are demons.

Kobe was supposed to be a surprise presenter tonight at the Grammys since it's being held at the Staples Center where he played with the Lakers.

Supposedly, it's pandemonium backstage and everybody is scrambling on how to deal with this. Somebody even fainted backstage.

R384, you're right. My apologies. I'm going to ignore the asshole who can't handle his bullshit thrown back into face.

NYTimes just confirmed his daughter was with him

R466 better be kidding with his reaction, otherwise, you know the reason dry cleaning bags state "This is not a toy."

Just a little late to the party, r472. They’ve confirmed that a while ago.

Olivia de Havilland cheats death again.

The daughter's death has also been confirmed by NBC News.

Will Camila be able to perform tonight still? She claims he was one of her heroes

It's hard to believe he's been dead for three hours. It feels like two hours ago.

[quote] David Stern Also just died

Howard’s brother?!

What will Larry King say?

OMG! I used to loved Kobe and was thrilled when he won the Oscar. Damn! If he had been gay, none of this would have happened.

This is Princess Di level of hysteria. How long will this last?

Y’all I’ve thought la lot about his kids and wife, but then I thought about how his parents must feel

[quote]Evan Rachel Wood: He was also a rapist.

There's no point in her doing this now. None. Her message gets lost. He's dead and his daughter is dead. You're not going to get justice on behalf of his victim by doing this since he's just paid the ultimate price with his life, so why bother doing this now?

She's not a good spokesperson for rape victims.

FIRST MR. PEANUT, NOW KOBE?!

R418 They have paid sources in the police department to give them the news first.

[quote]What will Larry King say?

Larry is assembling expert panel on sports as we speak. Dyan Cannon, Carol Burnett and Tom Jones confirmed for this evening, r480..

He's strangling (leaving bruises around the neck) and raping 19-year-old hotel employees in Heaven

R416 wants to know :

Question: Does anyone know where he was headed ?

Answer: Straight into the side of a mountain.

R480 - Japanese beef industry in crisis!

My friend is on Instagram Live crying over this right now. Really.

You’re vile ⬆️

[quote]What will Larry King say?

"Tragic. Where will fat women shop now?"

Time for new friends.

He was hot and this is a true tragedy. Why wasn't he gay instead???

That dick would have made many gay men happy.

Kobe and his pretty daughter. The one who died with him. On their way from a basketball game. Datalounge isn't really funny. Cruelty isn't fun.

Go to his live. He is legit crying. Well he stopped but he is still on

Someone quickly replied to Evan Rachel Wood's tweet.

She'll claim she was hacked, probably.

[quote]What will Larry King say?

Isn’t he dead??

If not, he should be.

[quote]This is Princess Di level of hysteria. How long will this last?

Our candles will burn out long before his legend ever will.

We have an open door policy. You’re free to leave at any time.

"A few weeks ago in Newport Beach Kobe witnessed a major accident and stayed to comfort victims and redirect traffic until help arrived.

This man wasn’t only the GOAT on the court but as a human being as well.

Mamba Mentality Forever."

Just from a practical standpoint, huge headache for the Grammys production people, but also probably a ratings boon.

[quote]Someone quickly replied to Evan Rachel Wood's tweet. She'll claim she was hacked, probably.

Speak the truth!

R489, you are a sick and twisted individual for saying that.

Come sit by me.

The tears at R497 are not legit - THEY ARE CULTURAL APPROPRIATION. STOP STEALING THE GRIEF OF TALL PEOPLE!

I'm the one who fainted backstage at The Grammys. Nobody came to help me up. And my fucking gown is smudged. I think I'm calling the car to just go back home.

Were they taking the helicopter to the Mamba Academy just to save time from going by car?

Why can't Shaq spell?

There’s no words to express the pain Im going through with this tragedy of loosing my neice Gigi & my brother @kobebryant I love u and u will be missed. My condolences goes out to the Bryant family and the families of the other passengers on board. IM SICK RIGHT NOW

[quote]Datalounge isn't really funny. Cruelty isn't fun.

Where the fuck were you when they said shit about me?

Oh, God, was Kaitlyn rushing to Dress Barn again?

Fans are gathering at Staples Center to mourn. Video via Variety

Confirmed that his 13 yr old daughter was with him and is also dead.

R477 she’s performing a song about her dad that has lyrics ill always be your little girl.. she will be in tears...

I really hate awards shows and wouldn't give a fuck about the Grammys, but now I'll be curious to see how they address it. I imagine it will be a shitshow with lots of breakdowns and people making it all about them.

R488 it must kill cosby that Kobe is still considered a hero..

[quote] Kobe and his pretty daughter. The one who died with him. On their way from a basketball game. Datalounge isn't really funny. Cruelty isn't fun.

And yet, here you are somehow anyway, Mary.

[quote] This is Princess Di level of hysteria. How long will this last?

Someone on the other thread already posted a Twitter feed saying they want the same level of hysteria for trans POC. I can’t post the twitter link but I can post the verbiage.

[quote] Keep this same Kobe energy when trans women of color are killed for simply existing.

I'm certain Harry & Meghan had something to do with this.

Never heard of him. I have no interest in the American NBA.

But wait, it wasn't Mohammed Al Fayed's helicopter was it? Because otherwise it just isn't the same thing in my books.

Has Susan Dey commented?

R509 have you seen Shaq on Inside the NBA? He can barely string two sentences together. He’s a big oaf but funny as hell. At least he and Kobe buried their ill will towards each other before Kobe died.

Given many DLer's uneasy relationships with both sports and black people, many of these comments are no unexpected.

But enough of you are funny AF and get the whole gallows humor thing.

R515, but let's be honest: Cosby was doing that shit 50 years ago and got away with it a lot longer.

[quote]Keep this same Kobe energy when trans women of color are killed for simply existing.

OMG, what a fucking asshole this person is as if any number of people aren't killed simply for existing. I doubt that trans gives a shit when they get killed. God, WTF is with certain people attempting to make this about THEM. Fuck off. Your message is lost in your attempt to make this tragedy about you.

R512, that is old fucking news.

I like how Shaq also mentioned sadness over families of other 3 passengers who died.

STFU about the alleged rape he denied! He's not raping anyone now! That was over a decade ago! No one else ever alleged he raped them! The man is dead! Smashed into a mountain. His children are crying. Stop!

How about you take a que from Jesus and learn some forgiveness! You're raping me with your negativity. Stop you negativitst rapist!

Are the ladies at LSA ok?

OK, I've seen it numerous times but have never asked and I missed when it started: Who did Susan Dey NOT condole to make her the go-to when someone dies?

R. Kelly will be performing “I believe I Can Fly“ during the In Memoriam.

Odds of them cancelling the Grammys?

My name ain't Mary you ancient white drunk FAG @R516. You live for this shit don't you lonely old wrinkled up white QUEER bitch???

Keep our names out of your mouth. Lots of POC post on Datalounge. Everyday. Old time bitter drag queen fags are dying everyday. Like R516. Nobody will notices or care about your corpse gramps. Can your cats call 911? Your rhetoric is NOT funny.

Will the funeral service clash with the Iowa Caucus? Asking for a friend.

Let me see if I can get this right. The grief hysteria ladder of importance goes:

Celebrities/Political figures

Trans women of color

Everybody else.

"There's no point in her doing this now. None. Her message gets lost."

He is still a rapist.

[quote]Why can't Shaq spell?

He’s black.

They say he couldn't sit in a car for too long and be fluid enough to play ball well...thus the helicopter. If you're frequently commuting via a chopper, you're statistically putting yourself at risk of death.

R528, earlier, I tried to get on to see what they were saying and the server was too busy, so you can imagine:

R531, that's also old news.

[quote]Obama has released a statement

About me, I hope.

R532 is feeling this deeply.

Has Donald said anything?

R527, he didn't deny it. He himself said that he could see how she thought she got raped. That statement was said to be a condition of the settlement that Jerry Buss negotiated. Hell, if I got an 8 figure settlement and a public admission, I'd say that was great.

[quote] They say he couldn't sit in a car for too long and be fluid enough to play ball well...thus the helicopter.

He hasn't played professionally in months. So that's all ego.

[quote]Odds of them cancelling the Grammys?

ZERO.

They didn’t do it for Whitney. They sure as fuck ain’t gonna do it for some black rapist.

R546, that's so dumb.

Of all of the American sports, the NBA is the most well-known overseas and Kobe is huge in many parts of the world. Don't be so provincial.

No matter the thread subject you can be sure that the following will be mentioned

1. Trump

2. Meghan Markle

3. Racism/Antisemitism

R527 Take your meds heaux

R532 is an hysterical queen.

[quote]OK, I've seen it numerous times but have never asked and I missed when it started: Who did Susan Dey NOT condole to make her the go-to when someone dies?

She was apparently MIA and didn't release a statement via Twitter when her Partridge Family co-star David Cassidy died.

R532 has a raging grease fire with her name on it, just waiting for her to, as Miss Warwick would say, walk on by......

I guess he cared little about his carbon footprint.

You'll have to forgive r532: she's a little emotional since she got fired yesterday from the Burger King.

R556, how can you marginalize us today of all days?

That is true, he never denied categorically that he didn’t rape the young woman. If that incident had occurred in 2018, he’d be held more accountable settlement or no settlement.

I could fly higher than an eagle

For you are the wind beneath my wings...

Has Susan Dey responded yet?

Per the press conference there were 9 people onboard.

And the Sheriff was pissed at TMZ!

Helicopters have a significantly higher risk increase than all other means of transportation. I would never get into one.

R590 Times are change’n, now the poor get fat, But the fever’s going to hit you when the bitch gets back!

r590, you were anticipated with that joke by several hours.

Another child and her parent died as well. You never recover from losing a child. Thinking of all the surviving parents and siblings.

His wife Vanessa is a beautiful and wealthy woman, and will re-marry, I would bet. And she has three more daughters.

This is all just so surreal. This is no way to begin 2020.

Did you hear r598, God? DO OVER!

People really post about themselves while quoting Kobe’s name

Also an 2time Olympic Gold Medalist - so a true American Hero.

And an Oscar winner, MSNBC doesn't hesitate to repeat over and over.

His daughter, in R71 died as well

For the first time in four years the American family is united, though it be in grief. Thank you, Kobe Bryant.

Rest in peace.
