grain of salt but:
rumors about Rick Fox being on the copter as well.
other rumors involve a couple of Kobe's daughters.

Horrible news. I went to bump a Kobe thread to discuss but we don't have one positive thread in the archive. I guess that makes sense but it felt particularly sad since this situation sounds so horrible.

I was at the Sixers-Lakers game last night. First NBA game in person; tons of fun and the Sixers unexpectedly won. When LeBron scored the bucket that passed Kobe, they announced the achievement on the PA and the crowd gave LeBron a huge cheer.
RIP Kobe. You tore my heart out in 2001. Best to his family.

idk what happened but one witness they spoke with heard the low flying helicopter and didn't say it sounded like it was in distress, just flying very low, and then he heard it go right into the hillside. it crashed less than half a mile from the freeway. it's very hilly the spot where it crashed wasn't very high up, so the fog wasn't necessarily a factor, it could have been some kind of engine issue. but obviously since it was so foggy one would imagine it would be relevant to the cause. down here this morning it was vv foggy, low visibility.
fuck who knows, what bullshit.

― Clay, Sunday, 26 January 2020 21:29 (four years ago) link
very hilly *but the spot wasn't very high up. not so high up that the copter was flying at high altitude and ran into an unexpected mountainside.
it he was going to Mamba Academy there would have been a few miles to go yet.

Jerry Kocharian was standing outside the Church in the Canyon drinking coffee when he heard a helicopter unusually low struggling overhead. “It [didn’t] sound right and it was real low. I saw it falling and spluttering. But it was hard to make out as It was so foggy,” Kocharian said. The helicopter vanished into a cloud of fog and then there was a boom.

fuck i always worry when i hear abt people who travel all the damn time via pvt planes or copters, i suppose the stats on those crashes aren't necessarily damning so it's probably irrational but idk.

as a friend said to me the odds of any given helicopter or small plane crash involving a rich and famous person are inflated.

I’ve followed this guy his whole career,certainly more closely than anyone on the site, I’ve been to countless games in person and watched every playoff game .When he was on it was for reals some of the most entertaining hoops you’ll ever see! He could take over a game with style .

there were apparently 9 people on the helicopter and not 5, but other than Kobe and his daughter and Altobelli, no one else has been identified.
i think Kobe was kind of a guy who was the ultimate Laker in the eyes of a lot of fans in that he was the guy who out of all the Laker superstars (several of whom at least were definitely better players) he was the one who had a full career without interruption or who was a Laker the whole time. Kareem arrived after half a dozen years as a superstar in Milwaukee, Shaq was at his peak there but also spent less than half his career in L.A., Magic of course finished 7-8 years before he could have, etc.
