My condolences to his dad Joe "Jellybean" Bryant,
a former NBA player, and to his family.

EDIT: Keep in mind, this isn't confirmed either. She is a reporter in Little Rock, Arkansas. Not sure if her Sources are credible. Hopefully they are.

Not a fan of copters although ive flown in them. Flying in fog or marine layer def isnt compatible. Tragic accident. Hopefully his daughters were not on board?

My brother in-law idolized him growing up...he is bawling right now.

Ditto my son. First Neil Peart (my idol as a musician), and now my son's basketball idol (with my son finding out at the gym while trying to emulate Kobe in a pick-up game, and me finding out by him texting me, I kid you not).

Ugh...

Any news as to who the other passengers were? Absolutely tragic and unbelievable.

Ashley Nevel reporting that Rick Fox was one of the people on the helicopter.

EDIT: Nope, this appears to be wrong, she deleted the tweet immediately after posting it.

Interesting that games are still going to continue. Maybe because he isn't a current player? I would have guessed the chances of games being cancelled today at 100%

This is RIGHT NOW:

Why don't they cancel??
