LeBron James just passed him for 3rd on the all-time scoring list. He had a tribute to him on his shoes last night and tweeted a lot of respect for him as well. How ironic that Kobe dies the next day.
Nine dead on this small helicopter. Kobe was the coach of his daughter's Jr. High basketball team and they were travelling to a game.
Also killed were Orange Coast College baseball coach John Altobelli along with his wife and daughter.
