Kobe Bryant dead at 41
TMZ is reporting he died in the helicopter crash this morning in.. ugh.
Some say the website got hacked. It was on the front page but now the site seems to be down. Either it was hacked or everyone is pounding it trying to get more info.

Between the constant thread crapping here, and the one in the MLB Thread as well (yeah, we know San Diego is a small market team, you said it 1,000,000 times already), the mods need to take action regarding this user. Like this post if you agree so that the mods will take notice.

Saw this several minutes ago. No one else is reporting this at all. I know the Chicago Bears twitter account got hacked. Hopefully is the same here.

If it really is being reported by TMZ then I tend to believe it's true. They're usually fairly reliable, and they don't wait to publish their news like more traditional outlets do.

CNN just published the helicopter crash story, noting 5 people dead - but nothing about Kobe.
That is the first step in confirming the Kobe part of the story.

TMZ is the only one reporting on it as fact and the other news outlets are piggybacking off of that. The Sheriff's office has only said that a helicopter crashed killing 5 people. They have not released names yet. Unless TMZ already gathered the flight log, IDK.

TMZ may be the best at getting information in the business. Their biggest problem is that because they get the stories up so quickly they occasionally run things that aren't 100% accurate, but that is fairly rare.

Fuck....all the major news outlets are picking this up. OMFG. ESPN and NBA TV haven't reported it yet.
CNN says they confirmed it's him.

Same. He's been my favorite player since he came in the league and we're only a couple months apart in age. I wore Kobe jerseys so much during pickup games that the majority of people playing didn't know my real name and would call me Kobe. This has been the only celebrity death that has got to me. Terrible news.
