NBA great Kobe Bryant killed in a helicopter crash in California.
It’ll be interesting to see how the press eulogise him.
I think since his farewell tour his standing and the view of him has gone up.

@sparky seems they are unsure if his wife and kids were on board. Far out, horrible news.

He was a great writer but could be kind of a smug dick too . His NZ history books are worth reading, I think that’s where his real talent was.

I don't know him, personality wise, but his short history books were excellent, and I handed them out around the UK
He used to do the Batemans encyclopedia of NZ too, he obviously had a real passion for it .

His party gave him a hospital pass and he did the best he could I guess, always seemed like a good man to me.
