NBA 2019-2020

All sports. We don't even mind if its women's Curling or junior badminton. Although we won't have strong opinions on the latter.

Rumors circulating that Kobe Bryant died.

They are just rumors at this point. Could be totally false. Waiting for confirmation from other sources...

Unreal. His last tweet was congratulating LeBron for passing him on all time scoring.

Man, nearly wrote that he took being knocked out of third badly thinking you were joking. But it’s on the news and everything. Five dead, none of his kids or wife. What a tragedy. An absolute tragedy.

I found out when it was just rumors. I'm eating at a little Mexican restaurant and when the news started to break, I could hear everyone in the restaurant finding out about it, one group at a time.

Looking like his kids were on board the helicopter, too. A massive celebrity tragedy. This is absolutely terrible.

What an unbelievably sad day. Had the rest of his life to spend with Vanessa and the kids.

Love you Kobe

Holy fuck. Absolutely jarring to lose a living legend so young. I haven't seen anything on kids yet but I pray it's not true.

I hope it's not true, but I've read from multiple outlets that all four children were on board. Absolutely terrible.

I don't think his daughters were with him thankfully.

ABC still the only main outlet reporting his daughters on board. Praying they're wrong... Other outlets reported ABC's source for the children passing.

If his daughters passed, Vanessa would have to clear it since they're minors.

I don't think it can be overstated how loved Kobe is by this generation of NBA players. He is their Jordan. They never took to LeBron the way they took to Kobe. I'm glad the NBA cancelled games because all of those guys have to be hurting badly.

And his foot is still so close to the game, it's also losing one of their own.
