Not being covered on ESPN.

His last tweet:

Soooo... there was a Reddit post that I can’t find after I refreshed. It was talking about foul play. No pun intended

What kind of foul play?

That was all I saw before I refreshed. I was looking for a follow up.

This is a little weird. Happened just hours after LeBron passed him on the all time scoring list:

Drug fueled “celebration” after losing his place in history? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Not funny

Man who’s nick named after a killer snake from Africa (black mamba) killed by helicopter... helicopter beats snake. Good to know

Did he recently become a Republican?

"Eyewitnesses also tell us that they heard the helicopter's engine sputtering before it went down. The cause of the crash is under investigation."

He named himself “black mamba” to try and deal with his sex assault allegations. ... sounds a little nuts to me.

OMG. RIP.

I heard he was on his way to "talk to" Hillary... bad move

Fuel issues... hard to believe someone with his resources would be flying without a perfectly maintained helicopter.

Ok.. ESPN is catching up...

Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant is among five people killed in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California, a source confirmed to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The crash comes one day after Bryant was passed by Lakers forward LeBron James for third place on the NBA's all-time scoring list. As late as 10:39 p.m. ET on Saturday night, Bryant was active on social media, congratulating Bryant on Twitter during the Lakers 108-91 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers...

Or a pilot that could not auto rotate that bird down.

From ESPN:

James inscribed his sneakers with "Mamba 4 Life" and "8/24 KB" in gold marker before the game, showing respect for Bryant, an 18-time All-Star with the Lakers who is eligible for the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2021. All week, in the lead-up to the milestone, he was quick to laud Bryant.

I agree. And I am sure given the locations, it was a very familiar route.. not somewhere at night where a pilot might encounter a unknown land feature or structure.

Maybe he was on the way to China as “the Black Mamba” to destroy the disease and save humanity.

Ok, you made me laugh but still: :stfu:

Hey... don’t get upset. He named his manhood the black mamba because I already named mine the “truth”.. because sometimes it hurts. (Would not have been good PR for him anyway with the whole sex assault thing)

Yeah.. I bet you wood like to now that you know about “the truth”.
