It saddens my heart to say this but Kobe Bryant passed away today at the age of 41. He was tragically killed in a helicopter crash near Calabasas, California. He was on board the chopper with his 13 year old daughter Gianna, pilot Ara Zobayan, Orange Coast College baseball coach John Altobelli along with his wife Kerri and their daughter Alyssa, assistant coach Christina Mauser, Payton Chester (teammate of Gianna Bryant) and her mom Sarah. They were heading to the Mamba Sports Academy in Thousand Oaks, California. Unfortunately, no one survived the crash.

Prayers, love and support goes out to Kobe, his wife, their other 3 daughters, his family, his friends, his past teammates, all his fans and all the families and friends of all the other victims. This is definitely a great loss for everyone all around the world. Kobe was truly one of the greatest. He will definitely be missed forever but he will never be forgotten. He will live in our hearts and minds forever. #RIPKobe #RIPGianna #BlackMamba #Vino #TheGoat #MambaMentality
