Man, waking up to this sucks. As a young black basketball player I watched that dude every day growing up. Model my game after him, wore his shoes, and cheered for him.

Then as an adult watching him and his daughter always made me happy cause you could tell how much he loved her.

RIP mamba

Do they know why the helicopter crashed? Malfunction?

Nah. That's just one of Sunhawk's shitty gimmicks.

He always makes some "I've never heard of this popular, well known figure before because I'm from the UK," topic. Hell, he's made topics like that despite there being proof that he's discussed the subject before. Him doing it in a topic mourning a recent death is just low down, even for him.
Ah. Thats no good.

the ntsb was en route to the site of the crash as reports surfaced of the crash. reading witnesses said the helicopter was too low in foggy conditions. they thought the helicopter was landing.

So far it appears that the copter was flying low in a mountainous area on a foggy morning. Amything more is yet to be determined, but that's kind of a bad recipe to begin with.

commercial flights, you're fine. these rickety cessnas and helicopters? yeah, I wouldn't make a habit of using them...

It is more of flying in adverse conditions or flying with too big of a cargo like in the Aaliyah plane crash.

this is eerily reminiscent of rally racer colin mcrae's death in 2007

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colin_McRae#Death

one of his kids (5 year old son) was onboard as well as a family friend and another child. he was the pilot though, not sure if kobe flew his helicopter or had a pilot

also about a month ago the daughter in law of LSU's offensive coordinator died in a small plane crash on the way to the team's playoff game. there was a 15 year old kid on board that died as well

https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/28/us/victims-louisiana-plane-crash/index.html

personal helicopters and small planes seem extremely dangerous. i can't imagine a scenario in which i would ever want to get onboard one

My last job I rode in a helicopter 5 days a week several hours a day for 10 years. When we got pregnant my wife made me get a different job. Cant blame her.

It really sucks she died, but I lost my father a short time ago, and wished I had died too as losing them has been very painful.
That's sad and all, however, "At least this 13 year old daughter died as well with him" is just a terrible response.

that's cause you took the wrong message from it. I wasn't saying it was a positive thing. I'm saying they were able to comfort each other in their final moments. that's what I hope at least. i'm not commening about this again. people's emotions are raw today. I get that
