God. I just saw a notice on my iPad that Kobe Bryant was killed..

[Univee2]

...in a helicopter crash.

I hope that's not true.

Damn.

 

[namnik]

Seems to be correct.

 

[minneman]

I just got a notice about that too. Checked Google and multiple sites are reporting it.

 

[rocketo]

Seems to be correct.

Holy crap

Kobe dead?
Or hoax?

Kobe dead?
Or hoax?

It’s confirmed by Sports Illustrated and every other reputable outlet. It’s not a hoax.

 

[ufo33]

Wow.
Kobe Dead.

I don’t know how TMZ does it but they were reporting this about an hour ago and Twitter was all over it.

He faked his death. All the big celebrities do it when they're ready to retire from public life, and they often use Gematria to choose the date that they fake their deaths.

In gematria, full reduction, "Bryant" = 26, and this is the 26th day of the year.

Also, in gematria, full reduction, "Kobe Bryant" = 41, and he dies at the age of 41.

Man......this is terrible to say he faked his own death. His daughter was killed too.
Don’t joke about things like that.

Damn.

His daughter GiGi, a friend of hers and her parents, plus the pilot died. It is very sad news. Reports are they were going to a game that the girls were going to play in. Of course these are early reports. It could be changed if it was wrong initially.

They aren’t bound by the journalistic standards that require independent confirmation of events before they’re publicized. Most news organizations adhere to a higher standard.

Damn.

Yeah, it is, and horrible, his daughter too. Even as a Celts fan, I respected him and truly one of the all time best
