It's sad. Of course it's sad when a neighbor down the street dies suddenly in an accident. I remember when Thurman Munsen died in 1979. Tragic. Unbelievable. Shocking. It was the same when Jose Fernandez died in that speedboat accident. We expect our heroes to live forever, or at least as long as we do. But it's even more shocking when it's a Superstar but no more tragic.

I remember seeing Roberto Clemente play in the season before he died. His raw ability was incredible.

I’m having trouble keeping it together since morning. It’s surreal. It’s like a family member died. I was out getting groceries and there were people huddled beneath a tv sobbing and holding each other.

I’m devastated. I’m shocked. Just a cruel reminder tell the ppl you love that you love them while you can. Live life while you can.

simply tragic.

Feel incredibly bad for his wife and kids. His wife must be hurting so bad to lose both her husband and her child. Prayers for them.

And the other families affected by this terrible tragedy. 7 others perished, I can’t even imagine

The list of Basketball Hall of Fame nominees get announced NBA All Star weekend, right? (Mid February in Chicago) Is the move to put Kobe right in without a vote?

Also, I was supposed to have a meeting this morning with two contractors from the LA area. I rescheduled it for tomorrow as one is a big Lakers fan and I know his head won’t be on work today.

I think there were 9 people on board. Two 13 year old girls, both parents of the one 13 year old were also on board.

A 22 year old soldier in the Middle East, on his first tour, was also killed yesterday.

Basketball is my first love. I grew up watching Kobe play and I only missed a few games of his. Amazing competitor and a great dude. So sad to see him gone at such a young age :/

Still in shock. I remember so clearly the day he was drafted and traded to the Lakers.

I grew up Laker fan, but eventually became a Kings fan as they came to Sacramento. Hard fought wars between those teams in the 2000's.

Hard to believe the Legend is gone. I know he had some much more to do in this life. Prayers for all the families affected.
