R.I.P Kobe Bryant!

[key2win]

This is beyond sad and depressing. He was my favorite player growing up since he first got drafted.

as a dad of a 12 year old, I'm devastated for his widow, losing not only Kobe, but their daughter...

if you have kids tonight, hug them just a little bit tighter tonight

Like so many today, I'm in shock to learn about the sudden passing of Kobe Bryant. One of the legends of sport, he is one of those incredibly rare talents that transcends the game. I am so sad for his family, friends, and basketball fraternity, and for his legions of fans out there. #UnitedBySport #RIPKobe

Definitely the most shocking death I've seen since Michael Jackson

Yes. I was in shock when I heard the news. Then I teared up when I heard his daughter was in the crash too. So sad.

God bless you, Kobe! I'm thankful to have met you. I wish my daughter had a chance to meet you.

R.I.P. to all those lives lost. I can't believe how tragically Kobe passed though. And so young still, only 41. That would've been one heck of a Hall of Fame speech too. I'm still in awe. I'm a longtime basketball card collector but haven't been around here much anymore. It's just so sad and tragic. Also, there was 9 people who died in this tragedy, not 5 as first reported.
