  1. At approximately 10 a.m. Pacific Standard Time on January 26, 2020, Bryant and four others were killed in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California. His 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, was on the helicopter with him, along with her teammate, her teammate's parent, and the pilot. They were on their way to a travel basketball game.

    Initial reports indicated that the Sikorsky S-76 crashed in the mountains above Calabasas in heavy fog. The incident is under investigation.

    Apparently it wasn't completely off; Bryant's rep has now said the 13-year-old daughter was among the victims.

    He wasn't acquitted. There was no trial. She wouldn't testify and he eventually paid her a civil settlement. And in nearly every case of a rape victim coming forward, her "honesty" is nearly always questioned -- that's why women are reluctant to report. And this was his statement after the fact:

    A good primer from Deadspin (RIP): Why Isn't Kobe Bryant a Fucking Pariah Yet?

    I'm sorry that his daughter died. 

    That's just wicked sad.

    That's just so sad.

  4. From TMZ:

    12:35 PM PT -- Kobe's daughter Gianna Maria -- aka GiGi -- was also on board the helicopter and died in the crash ... reps for Kobe tell TMZ Sports. She was 13.

    We're told they were on their way to the Mamba Academy for a basketball practice when the crash occurred. The Academy is in nearby Thousand Oaks.

    I don’t know anything about Kobe’s career as I don’t follow basketball so I will always have to remember him as a guy who raped a hotel employee in his room. 

    I don't follow basketball either.

    OMG!  I'm in shock.  R.I.P. Mr. Bryant.

    Always hated helicopters.

    I'm in shock as well.

    I did enjoy Dave's World. 

    Only saw a few episodes of the John Larroquette Show.  Recall it being just so so. 

    Also now I am wondering what John Larroquette is doing now

    He was recently in an episode of the new Twilight Zone revival called The Wunderkind.
