Jesus Christ that's crazy. Not even a follower of basketball but even I know how legendary he was.
RIP. Such a tragedy.

Is it confirmed? Shocking news I'm not a big follower of Basketball but I knew how much of a huge figure he was to the game
R.I.P

Was never a huge basketball fan but some people transcend beyond their own sports and Bryant was sure one of them. 41 is no age to go.
Wtf?!? 
Absolutely shocking...RIP great man
Is this actually true? Only that scumbag TMZ gossip channel is running with it it seems?
The only sporting idol I had growing up. Absolutely in shock, surreal.
The day after Lebron passes his record as well. So sad.

RIP Kobe
My absolute favourite NBA player.
Was lucky enough to meet him in Frankfurt years ago.
Great guy and a fantastic baller.

ESPN just announced this on television. Literally fecking stunned. Can't believe this.
It's confirmed. ABC News, ESPN and LA Times has confirmed it as well as other trustworthy sources.
Genuine holy shit moment.
I don't watch basketball but he's one of the biggest names in sport isn't he?
Mad that he's died.

What the feck? Thought the thread title was some kind of reference/joke I wasn't aware of. But it's real, wow.
RIP.
RIP.
I'm in complete shock, RIP.
TMZ is extremely reliable when it comes to celebrity deaths. They got it right, unfortunately.
He was my favorite player from my favorite team. feck man I’m devastated, I don’t even know what to say
Not that there's any good time to go, but only 41 too. Terrible.
Mamba.
spot on with the post. Even those who don't like or follow basketball would probably have heard his name. For those who like the sport this is heartbreaking news for a well loved player.
One of the true greats of basketball. RIP
Devastating. Legend.
Unbelievable. RIP
RIPThis is actually unbelievable. I can't believe it. Was never a fan of him due to my Celtics loyalties but this is devastating. RIP.
Absolutely devastated. feck this.
RIP to all of them that lost their lives and to their families that now have to deal with this tragic event!
Hopefully his family weren’t in the helicopter too.
Horrible news. I learned a lot about him when I lived in Canada and got a bit more I to basketball.

No different to the Ronaldo case or countless others. You'd never know.
A sporting icon, transcended just basketball. RIP.
I think he’s fairly explicit with his point tbf.
Absolutely shocked
Some rumors that his 4 kids were on the chopper too. That's just horrifying.
I genuinely never heard the accusation against Kobe.
The whole news is fecking mad.
It's not really, the man just died, what is he trying to say?
Blimey, saw a tweet of him congratulating Lebron James earlier on. Sad news R.I.P.
That is the thing mate, he is all edge and no fecking point.
I've been told different, that his wife and kids were not with him. Hopefully what I heard was true.
