In Memoriam : Kobe Bryant

A tribute to Kobe I put together back in 2012 that felt "too sad" to post now has found its time. RIP to the GOAT, his daughter Gianna and all others on board. LA is in shock along with the rest of the world... Directly from Wikipedia : Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna, and seven others departed from John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California at 9:06 a.m. PST on January 26, 2020 in a Sikorsky S-76B helicopter, registration N72EX.[3][4][5] They were heading to a basketball game at his Mamba Sports Academy in Newbury Park.[6] Kobe was the coach of Gianna's team.[7] The helicopter passed over Boyle Heights near Dodger Stadium and circled over Glendale during the flight.[8] It was in a climbing left turn 2,400 feet above sea level, then descended at a rate of 4,000 feet per minute (45 miles per hour) and struck the ground.[9] The helicopter was registered to the Fillmore-based Island Express Holding Corp., according to the California Secretary of State business database.[8][10] The LAPD had grounded its police helicopters on Sunday morning due to the poor weather conditions.[11] The helicopter crashed in Calabasas, California at about 9:47 a.m. and caught fire.[12] Weather conditions were reported to be foggy.[8] Los Angeles County Fire Department firefighters responded to the scene and extinguished the fire by 10:30.[12] All nine occupants were killed. Witnesses reported that the helicopter's engine was "sputtering" before the crash.[3][8] Others reported seeing it flying into the ground at a "fairly significant rate of speed." It is unclear whether a distress call was made.[7] The crash started a quarter-acre brush fire that was difficult to extinguish due to the presence of magnesium. The debris from the crash was scattered on steep terrain. Paramedics on board an air ambulance were hoisted down to the scene but could not locate any survivors.

All nine occupants of the helicopter were killed in the crash: Kobe Bryant, Bryant's 13-year-old daughter Gianna, college baseball coach John Altobelli, his wife Keri and daughter Alyssa, elementary school basketball coach Christina Mauser, passenger Sarah Chester and her daughter Payton, and pilot Ara Zobayan.[13] Memorials Around 200 people gathered at the foot of the hill close to the crash with several wearing Bryant's jersey and holding basketballs. People also formed an impromptu memorial at the Staples Center where the Los Angeles Lakers play, just hours before the arena was scheduled to host the Grammy Awards.[21] Fans created a memorial for Bryant outside of the Kobe Bryant Gymnasium at Lower Merion High School (Pennsylvania), which Bryant attended from 1992 to 1996. Jerseys, dedicated basketballs, flowers and candles were all laid down to memorialize the school's legendary graduate.[22] Bryant's memory was also honored with several tributes at that night's Grammy Awards. During the show, host Alicia Keys and Boyz II Men performed "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday" in tribute to Bryant, and other performers, including Lil Nas X and DJ Khaled, incorporated tributes to Bryant in their performances.[23] Los Angeles International Airport and Madison Square Garden were among many landmarks across the country that were lit purple and gold in his memory.[11][24] In sports NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said in a statement: "The NBA family is devastated by the tragic passing of Kobe Bryant and his daughter, Gianna ... For 20 seasons, Kobe showed us what is possible when remarkable talent blends with an absolute devotion to winning. He was one of the most extraordinary players in the history of our game with accomplishments that are legendary ... But he will be remembered most for inspiring people around the world to pick up a basketball and compete to the very best of their ability. He was generous with the wisdom he acquired and saw it as his mission to share it with future generations of players, taking special delight in passing down his love of the game to Gianna."[25][26] Michael Jordan, to whom Bryant was often compared, said in a statement: "Words can't describe the pain I am feeling. I loved Kobe — he was like a little brother to me... We used to talk often, and I will miss those conversations very much. He was a fierce competitor, one of the greats of the game and a creative force."[28] extra tags : kobe bryant highlights, kobe bryant last game, kobe bryant wife, kobe bryant interview, kobe bryant daughter, gianna bryant, calabasas california, malibu, los angeles lakers, nba, death, kobe bryant, kobe last game, career highlights, Kobe Bryant, Gianna Bryant, NBA, Kobe Bryant, Lakers, NBA, Basketball, vanessa bryant, kobe bryant death, sports, helicopter crash, died Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
