Kobe Bryant & 13 Year Old Daughter Gianna Die In Helicopter Crash

Kobe Bryant 13 Year Old Daughter Also Died In The Helicopter Crash

We’re reporting with a broken heart that NBA star Kobe Bryant died along with 5 people including his 13 year old daughter Gianna in a helicopter crash.

The Lakers legend was travelling with three others in a private aircraft when it came down in Calabasas near LA, California.

The 41 year old baller is considered one of the greatest NBA players of all time. During his 20 year tenure with the Lakers he made 18 All-Star teams.

The shocking news comes just after LeBron James surpassed Bryant as #3 on the NBA’s all-time scoring list. In what will be Kobe’s final tweet, he celebrated James by writing, “Continuing to move the game forward @KingJames. Much respect my brother 💪🏾 #33644.” 33,643 points was Kobe’s career total.

Kobe Bryant also won an Academy Award in 2018 for the short film, “Dear Basketball.”

May his soul rest in peace..
