I'm no NBA fan but when Mrs Pondo asked if I knew who he was, I did - bit of a shock to hear he's passed, I feel sorry for his millions of fans and very sorry for his family. 🙁
He was only just in the news today having been surpassed in points scored by LeBron James.
Sad day.
Wow! Genuine shock.
A proper legend, and only 41, he'll be missed big time in the sport and in life.
NBA fan here...absolutely shocked. Was never a big fan of his but always appreciated how great a player he was. A tragedy for the families of all those who lost their lives.
Shocked. His 13 yr old daughter on board as well, tragedy 🙁
Ah no, not his daughter(s) on board as well?? ☹️
No NBA follower but this is a shock.
From what I understand it's generally Jordan, Kobe and Le Bron that are considered to be the top 3 of all time.
Life is short ☹️
My old aerospace tutor once said - “the thing about helicopters is this - as soon as they’re off the production line, they’re trying to kill you”
But in this case it sounds like weather may have been a contributing factor.
Sad news all round.
Tremendous loss to the Game. His daughter was a rising star in her own right.
Our teams will be planning to take the 8 second backcourt penalty followed by the 24 second shot clock violation at their next game in honour of Kobe and his daughter Gigi.
He had a massive skeleton in his closet which seems to have been forgotten.

Most professional basketball players have massive skeletons
Ari Shaffir mentioned the rape incident in his customary/not funny death roast on twitter, although he later attempted to say he had been hacked.
But in this case it sounds like weather may have been a contributing factor.
This is beginning to look like an understatement. Weather (visibility) was so poor that the police had grounded their own helicopters
