Kobe Bryant

[steverocks35]

I know this is the OU basketball message board so move this thread admins if you want, but I had to share with everyone that Kobe Bryant has been reported killed in a helicopter crash today in California. I can't believe it.

It's just hard to believe.

Unreal. I don't have words.

Sad day for basketball fans. He was 41 years of age and a father of 4. Perspective comes in many different forms. Perspective is fleeting for message boards tell me so.

It gets worse guys... Kobe's daughters were on the helicopter with him. I can't breathe right now.

How do you tell the wife? How?

Stay tuned, ABC News was reporting that his children were on board but now there are conflicting reports.

Only one kid confirmed. Pretty certain they all weren't, per the total body count initially release.

Crazy sad news on this Sunday.

I think one of his kids is months old.

I also wonder how many pilots navigate that type of copter?

Well Kobe pilots his own helicopter so the body count makes sense.

Not with Rick Fox being confirmed.

That isn't confirmed. I've seen blue checkmarks on twitter confirm his daughters weren't on there also that Rick Fox wasn't on there which was rumored right away.

TMZ is now reporting that at least one of his daughters, Gianna Maria was on board, still waiting on word of the rest. UGH.
