Kobe Bryant and Daughter among 5 Dead in Helicopter Crash
(TMZ) 12:35 P.M. 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.
Kobe Bryant died in a helicoper [sic] crash in Calabasas Sunday morning ... TMZ Sports has confirmed.
[N.S.: Typo was by TMZ Sports, not GRA.]
Kobe was traveling with at least 3 other people in his private helicopter when it went down. A fire broke out. Emergency personnel responded, but nobody on board survived. 5 people are confirmed dead. We’re told [N.S.: Bryant’s wife] Vanessa Bryant was not among those on board.
Eyewitnesses also tell us that they heard the helicopter’s engine sputtering before it went down. As you can see, flames and smoke covered much of the scene from the wreck. The official cause of the crash is currently under investogation [sic].
Kobe has famously used a helicopter to travel for years – dating back to when he played for the Lakers. He was known for commuting from Newport Beach, CA to the STAPLES Center in DTLA in his Sikorsky S-76 chopper.
KB is survived by his wife Vanessa. Together, they have four daughters – Gianna, Natalia and Bianca and their newborn Capri. Kobe and Vanessa got married in 2001 after meeting in 1999.
GRA: Interesting, the similarities of hero-worship for Kobe Bryant and MLK Jr. Bryant’s off-court sexual exploits were legendary—same as King Jr. In fact, Bryant and Wilt Chamberlain were not only in the top 5 in NBA scoring history, but scoring with women period.
Bryant was a clone of Michael Jordan on the court—but for chrissake’s, it’s basketball—that’s all it is. Overpaid blackies taking money from stupid white owners—for shooting a ball in a small hoop—and blowing it on drugs and white women. They almost always build their so-called business endeavors to benefit fellow blacks exclusively (whites go eff yourselves). Anyone call them out for racism? Nahhh.
That’s my obit for Bryant and all NBA players. I stopped watching NBA two years ago, along with FOX NEWS (chuckle).

Laugh of the Day:
ReplyDeleteMy local news station(WOOD)led with the Bryant story and sent it to a white reporter at a local gym.The reporter,Justin Kollar,a fairly new hire,with a resemblence to Adam Schiff,made this slightly exaggerated statement:
"Years from now,everyone will remember where they were,when they heard this news about Kobe Bryant."
I won't remember tomorrow...lol.
Btw,the death toll is now 9,they say.

The owners are FAR from stupid. They own a stable of ball-bouncers who - despite their outrageous compensation for playing a chikldren’s game, bring in vast amounts of money.
