Apparently ABC News came with a rumour (?) saying his daughters were on the helicopter as well..

Not confirmed. Though I haven’t seen anything not confirming their deaths either.

Kobe Bryant is an absolute legend. I would make it a priority to watch Kobe and the Lakers whenever he was on tv. I stopped watching the NBA as much when he retired. He introduced me to basketball. He will be missed!! RIP KOBE

Yes, this is all true for me as well.

and now rumors says that all his 4 daughters were with him in the helicopter 

I’m hearing rumors saying 3. Again, as a journalist, I cannot stress how important it is that we don’t buy into fake information/rumors. There’s a good chance that some of his family was on board (since the numbers work out), but the LAPD has yet to confirm any of the identities of those dead. Bryant has definitely passed, but let’s wait a while before saying that his daughters have died.

I'm very shocked and I can't get out of it that Kobe is dead ... This is a great blow for the basketball family, as well as for the whole sport ...

Not just the basketball, for the whole sporting world

TMZ is now reporting that at least one of his daughter has died :cry:. Again, I wouldn’t take it as final (I’d never take anything TMZ says as serious), but it seems true. Gianna (13)

    • I remember when Ferrari dominated inFormula 1 in the early 21st century, the rules were deliberately changed to limit their advantage. Something similar recently happened with Mercedes' dominance after 2020. And here we have a situation where Norway is favored, if the Finns are telling the truth and that's strange – should the richest federation get some extra advantage from FIS? It's certainly better for the popularity of a given discipline to have a more diverse nations on the front, than to have 3 Norwegians skiers at the front with the rest of the world 2 minutes behind. But maybe that will change, because Norway isn't as dominant in the women's competitions without Bjoergen and Johaug. I think the situation will change somewhat after Klaebo's career, even without Rus's return. Without Klaebo, Norway would not have won the entire gold medal here: in the sprint it would have been Ogden from the USA, and in the combined race: Frenchman Desloges.   Of course, the stars like Klaebo and Phelps build the popularity of a their disciplines, but it always takes some kind of great rivalry- a great rival- for people to really take an interest that. For example, in Beijing, Phelps won 8 gold medals, but in the 100 butterfly, there was fierce competition and controversy with battle against Milorad Cavic. In Klaebo's case, this hasn't been that`s case since Bolshunov's exclusion and that certainly has some impact on the overall situation.
