Holy Crap!!!!!....Kobe
 

Bryant died in a helicopter crash!!!!!!!!!!!

wtf!!!!!!!!

It appears Kobe's 13 yr old daughter was on board as well......in fact it appears the pilot was flying Kobe and his daughter, another parent and their daughter to a basketball game at the time of the crash

Agreed...tragedy for many families.

I've heard talk already of his (Kobe) silhouette for NBA logo....
I really don't think so.

Really cool tributes at last night's Lakers-Blazers game--the first game since Kobe's tragic death. Classy job by the Lakers organization, the NBA, and the players and fans. Lebron's impromptu speech where he threw away his notes was pretty darn authentic. The emotions were raw and the wounds were still fresh, which made it a great healing moment for all involved.
