Jesus fucking Christ.

I was sad to hear this but his kids being there too really hits hard, that's just too sad.

 

[cryptoadam]

Thread locked on ERA.

I think Salamiman will get more respect and praise on there than Kobe.

RIP to his 4 daughters. Tragic that life is taken from the young.

 

[GV82]

Oh fuck!

RIP

 

[Naibel]

I'm not into basketball, like AT ALL. It's not a huge sport here in France. But I knew who Kobe was. That's how famous that dude was worldwide.

So of course I'm shocked and saddened by those very unexpected news. Life can be a cunt sometimes.

May he (and his kids if that's confirmed...) rest in peace.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Is the daughters news confirmed official? I really hope not

 

[GHG]

You got your wish bro. They're starting to fight.

There's a special place in hell for these types of people.

The man has only just left us and they use it as an opportunity to jump on the soap box. Fuckers.

 

[Richard Packer]

Was EL arrested and put on trial?

Neither of them were convicted. Kobe's case was thrown out.

Kobe, like EviLore was not convicted of rape.

 

[Kev Kev]

my god, this would be so tragic. hope its not true

 

[GHG]

This is sickening.

 

[Nobody_Important]

Oh come the fuck on. Are you serious? That is a whole other level of tragic if that is true.


People keep mentioning the daughters in their condolences too.

 

[DynamiteCop!]

my god, this would be so tragic. hope its not true

 

[daemissary]

Was EL arrested and put on trial?

So being put on trial is your standard of guilt? And you’re gonna litigate this now when he died worst case with his daughters or best case leaving his daughters without a father?

You’re fucking disgusting.

 

[cormack12]

Yeah really hoping that's not true about his daughters

 

[Grand Theft Scratchy]

That is really sad. Rest in peace.

 

[fatty]

So sad...

 

[Kev Kev]

christ... no words. that is terrible

 

[greyshark]

A total nightmare for his family - such a tragedy.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Sad to hear his kids were on board too.

Now you know why some families (royalty, high level CEO types etc....) have members take separate flights to go places.

 

[Blade2.0]

Damn, whole family gone like that. So he was the pilot, correct?

 

[Caffeine]

idk what to believe right now I really hope the children headline isnt true.

 

[DragoonKain]

Conflicting reports, this'll be the last I post until confirmation.

 

[Myths]

Welp.... worst year of the decade already.

 

[bronk]

Fuck man.....that is so so terrible.

 

[NYR]

Some are reporting the daughters were not on the helicopter. Let's wait for the news to actually come out.

You don't even need to go to Resetera. TrainedRage is bringing The circus here.

 

[TheFarter]

Being from the area he lived at. Seeing him as a Laker, as a fan since he was 17 or so. I'm shocked. I grew up with him in a way. Completely at a loss for words. Whoever wrote "only the good die young" They understand. This is amazing news.

 

[Mihos]

abc has nothing about daughters being on board....

Was Rick Fox with him?

 

[Mato]

Tragic story. RIP.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

 

[caffeware]

There are now reports Rick Fox was on the aircraft.

 

[dolabla]

Oh my god. That is beyond words.

 

[TrainedRage]

You’re fucking disgusting.

Eh I didn't personally like him. But there was more to it than just "being put on trial". Maybe you should look up what happened and judge his character for yourself instead of getting mad at me for not being sad because someone you liked died. But whatever I said I was gonna bounce.

 

[NYR]

Jesus - everyone stop spreading rumours. Wait for actual CONFIRMED sources.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

There are now reports Rick Fox was on the aircraft.

That was the first rumor

then it changed to his daughters which other sources are denying

lets wait for official word, this is getting crazy

 

[Kev Kev]

Conflicting reports, this'll be the last I post until confirmation.

oh for fucks sake... ok, so media is doing there media thign as usual. im just gonna cool it until we hear more actaul facts and not speculation.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Damn, whole family gone like that. So he was the pilot, correct?

Something doesn't seem right.

If it was 5 people who died, it doesn't make sense having Kobe's daughters there since he isnt a pilot. And now Rick Fox is rumoured in the crash too?

Doesn't add up. Either some/all daughters weren't there or the people count is off.

I’m a fucking Blazer fan...you think I LIKED Kobe Bryant???

I know exactly what happened, maybe it happened, maybe it didn’t...if you think he deserved to die EVEN IF HE WAS GUILTY, you are gross.

 

[ss_lemonade]

Fuck, RIP.

Hope the rumors about his daughters being there as well isn't true. He just had a baby (last year?)

 

[oagboghi2]

Nope, settled out of court. Kinda like MJ.

I thought you were leaving the thread?

 

[Dthomp]

Holy shit, I wasn’t a big fan of his but this is crazy. Way too young for a freak accident like this. Feel terrible for his family

 

[ramuh]

Man if that ABC news guy fucked this up...

 

[Caffeine]

do we know which source is legit? the abc guy better have not posted that shit with out confirmation.

 

[SuperGooey]

I'm not a sports guy, but this is fucking insane. He's a legend!

RIP

Send the clown back to the circus.

 

[Tragic Denial]

News outlets on social media real-time fucking sucks

 

[Breakage]

I'm not even a basketball fan and I just went to look at the BBC news website to catch up on day's news. The headline shocked me.
