Former NBA player Kobe Bryant has died in a helicopter crash near Calabasas, California in the United States, officials said.

Bryant, 41, was considered one of the greatest basketball players of his generation during a 20-year career spent entirely with the Los Angeles Lakers.

He retired in 2016 as the third-leading scorer in NBA history, finishing 20 years with the Lakers as a prolific scorer with a sublime all-around game and a relentless competitive ethic.

Bryant had one of the greatest careers in recent NBA history and became one of the game's most popular players as the face of the 16-time NBA champion Lakers franchise.

He was the league's Most Valued Player in 2008 and a two-time NBA scoring champion.

Bryant won five NBA championship rings with the Lakers and an 18-times NBA All-Star who wore the number 24 during his career with the team.

Damnnnnn niggarrr
Be a real niggarrr and stop behaving like a low budget ass pussy niggarrr

Although we were born to die
And death is only the beginning
But there is a need to show some respect
The dead should be treated with a little of respect and nervousness. Show some respect niggarr

still Can't believe this niggarrr is dead
For every day we live we are faced with more than a hundred ways to die

Rip..
We live by God's grace.
Investors needed, check my bio.

We should fear GOD oooo! Everything in this life vanity upon vanity. Look at the way it being display every where.....

May ur soul find eternity

The guy really loves his family.

I hope no one would come forward with a male child and says he is the father

Such a great life with no male offspring to replicate it.
This is a big lesson to whom it may concern because life teaches us lessons in the weirdest of ways.

May Kobe's death open the eyes of men who don't have male children to try their luck elsewhere if their wives can't give them one.

Please do not deceive yourselves about the x and y chromosomes because some women's bodies are not 'y-chromosome friendly'.

And do not decieve yourself to accept that it does not matter.
All children are important no doubt; but the importance of the male offspring can NEVER be overstated.

After 23, came 8

After 8, came 6

Only my basketball goons can figure it out!

RIP Black Mamba
