Just got back from a walk and did a double take as I turned on the TV. Sad for him and the others.

Helicopters are dangerous, even if I had the money I wouldn’t travel in one on a regular basis.
Not a big basketball fan but RIP, sad.

Isn't this the guy who raped a woman and then had his 'management' intimidate her into not testifying and then paid her millions to keep her mouth shut?

Horrible news. Mate just mentioned it as he couldn’t access a twitter post I’d shared (unrelated) and he said the Bryant news has probably spanned it.

Some bloke predicted it in 2012, weird, although I suppose if he was regularly flying a copter it wasn’t that outlandish of a prediction.

If that’s true it’s going to be unimaginable for the surviving members of his family, how do you even begin to get through it ? ...how many daughters did he have ? How must his wife/their mother be feeling right now ? ☹️ Unbelievably tragic

Basketball is my 2nd favourite sport after football.
It's a sport that has such a strange dynamic compared to footie. You can support a team, but there's so much love for great opposition players that you just don't get over here. Kobe was an all-time great and someone that I followed closely growing up watching the game.
Absolutely stunned by all of this.

Whilst it is not always right to start speaking ill of the recently deceased he accepted and apologised stating I thought she was consenting but understand she may not have viewed it the same

Race being brought into it again unnecessarily I see. Its a massive bollock dropped by the beeb but bringing race into it is daft.

Yep: they just forgot to mention the significance in a caption but are terrified in case someone thinks that the BBC can't tell the difference between 2 7ft tall black men playing sport and have to issue an apology It's sad 7 people have died just not sure it warrants the media attention it's getting other than trying to balance out the coverage white celebrities get - though the BBC do tend to push American sports a lot these days ready for when we become the 51st state
