Multiple news agencies are running the story now. Kind of hard to deny this being real.


Like which ones? You’d think NBATV would have a braking news scroll by now at least. I don’t see anything on it or ESPN... I won’t believe till I see it on there.


Variety, Daily Mail, The Independent, New York Post, Page Six, I could keep going.

I don't believe this. What an inspirational basketball mind and driven human being. My gosh...
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

this is unbelievable

Yes, and TMZ is usually first to know about deaths. Tentacion, JuiceWRLD etc first broke on TMZ.

Few years into retirement...

Had to think about Michael Schumacher. Had one of the most dangerous jobs for 20 years and then a few years into retirement has a low speed ski accident, putting him in a vegetative state...

I checked, its been reported across the globe, new stations etc.

Man :(


How come nothing on ESPN/ESPN NBA and NBA.com yet???

I hope it's a false news.

I think new stations are quick with releasing news asap.

ESPN/NBA really gather information much as possible then they release.

Wow. This is absolutely heartbreaking.

Life is so fragile and random. Enjoy it while it last, like Kobe seemed to do.
