Crazy how his life was short but intense
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.

RIP LEGEND. I named my dog after him, I got him a few days after Kobe’s legendary 60 point final game.

This is so sad. I just can’t even begin to imagine what his kids and wife are going through right now.

Just devastating. He was one of my favorites on the court and developed into a one of a kind basketball mind off the court in terms of analysis. I feel so much for his daughters and family.

This has too many legs not to be true. Multiple reports and there’s video of the aftermath of the helicopter crash. I think is legit. F*CK.

Terrible news. RIP my idol.

PD: I **** hate helicopters, I don't understand why rich people use them since they are very dangerous.

His memory will be eternal. RIP
Also, something that might surprise people. I think when it comes to athleticism, agility, physical attributes and skill I rate LeBron only in the top 50.

They didn't cancel games for David Stern, and I doubt if they will do it for Kobe.

Variety confirms. "Officials" say Kobe is dead. Prayers to his family and God rest his soul.
