Saw the same thing, truly a loss for the sports world. I was never a fan of his (nor much of an NBA fan at all) but I respected the hell out of his talent.

HOLY SHIT

I'm not at home - sitting in a Starbucks writing a TUSCL article so not near a TV so IDK what's going on

That TERRIBLE - I do recall hearing once that Kobe would take a helicopter to/from the arena and his home, I guess in large part to avoid the very-bad LA traffic.

2:35 PM PT -- Kobe's daughter Gianna Maria Onore -- aka GiGi -- was also on board the helicopter and died in the crash ... reps for Kobe tell TMZ Sports. She was 13. We're told they were on their way to the Mamba Academy for a basketball practice when the crash occurred. The Academy is in nearby Thousand Oaks.

More reports are confirming one of Kobe Bryant's daughters was flying with him. It doesn't make what happened any better, but losing a husband and all of your children at the same time would have beyond tragic for his wife.

The daughter's death is definitely a tragedy.
