Kobe Bryant is dead (confirmed by news reports)

[turnermx]

I can't believe it. 

[REHawksFan]

Praying for the families of those lost. Tragic.

Also, if they gonna cancel the game tonight they need to announce it soon. No one saying anything leads me to think they will play them.

I'm imagining each game will have a moment of silence at the beginnings.... NBA.com still has nothing on it.

TMZ Sports update confirmed GiGi, the 13-year-old daughter, was among the fatalities. No words on the other 3 fatalities.

This is devastating and heartbreaking.  Prayers to his family and the NBA.

I don't think they'll cancel the games today.

I can't watch this coverage on TV.  Watching Jay Williams damn near breaking down right now talking about Kobe, is going to make me lose it.

I pray to god this isn't true. I read reports that the abc network was pulling the report.

I don't know how the teams play with any kind of focus today. I just don't...

[JTB]

I can’t believe this ! Kobe is my favorite player of all time in the nba! ...I’m lost for words I really am.

i remember when Kobe tore his achillies it took everything inside to keep myself from shedding a tear seeing him get hurt when he tore his achillies after putting that team on his back!

i really can’t believe this legend is no longer with us.

 

Rest Peace G.O.A.T ....at least to me

It’s going to be tough but the competitor that Kobe showed us would want those guys to play on!

I'm the same age as Kobe and kg02 just turned 13.  Geez, this hurts on all kinds of levels.

I'm five years younger. I so devestated by this. I hope the entire family wasn't on there.

The first time a 'celebrity death' shook me was Princess Diana. This is the 2nd.

Just seems unreal.

[marco102]

I'm so devastated.  Gigi too. Prayers to his wife.  To lose a husband and a child at the same time.  Just praying man. My goodness this is hard for me and I don't even know them.

Michael Jackson?

This is the NBA's John Lennon moment in impact to me. Overwhelming and out of nowhere.
