A Sad Tragedy: Death of Kobe Bryant
One of the most known deaths and tragedies in America. Kobe Bryant and Gigi Bryant’s helicopter fell from 2,300 feet in the air leaving none of the 9 people left to live. Leaving his wife and other three children devastated after the loss of their sister and father. A really sad fact is that some people didn’t even know of him until he died. For anyone who doesn’t know Kobe was a 41-year-old professional basketball player who played for the Lakers. He loved his family more than anything in the whole world and was an amazing person to be around say his family and friends. 242 days ago on the 26th of January, #24, and these amazing 8 people left this world.
Most people don’t know or even have no idea of how Kobe's helicopter even crashed. There are many different ways that this could have happened like a burnt engine, no more gas, and a terrible helicopter pilot. Although these all could make sense in a way they’re not proven to be true. It’s said to be at the moment that the pilot got disturbed by the upcoming weather and everything went wrong from there. Gigi’s last words were said to be “Save Me” or “Save me, Dad”. Of course, this is terribly sad and heartbreaking and those last words were caught on a BlackBox. I think this happened to make matters worst. Imagine hearing your daughter in a panic and not being able to do anything to save her. January 26 was a sad day for everyone in America who sat and watched the News that day. The ages of everyone who past ranged from 13-56 and a couple of them were Gigi’s friends form basketball.
Net worth and Money
How much fortunate did Kobe leave his family? Well, it was close to 5 trillion US dollars. Yes, this is a lot of money and Kobe’s net worth was around $600,000,000. When this event happened many people refused to believe that the Great Mamba was actually gone. Everyone hoped it was a sick sick joke. Anyone who hadn’t ever met him felt emotion as if they’d known him forever. Most popular stars that were performing in the Grammys made an announcement, made posters, or did something to show there love for the Bryant family and many also posted about the loss as well. Friend’s and fellow basketball players can’t hold back tears as they talk of television and explain how they met and how much he will be missed. People such as Ben Affleck, Reese Witherspoon, Gigi Hadid, Kim Kardashian, JLo, Victoria Beckam, David Dobrick, Samuel L. Jackson, Taylor Swift, John Legend, and many more including Barack Obama wrote a sad post about how big of an inspiration he was.
Fake News
“This was photoshopped” “He didn’t even die” “This is just a sick joke”. Yes, people can have their own beliefs but how rude could you possibly be to say someone’s death isn’t really as their family is mourning over their death? It is not fair to anyone’s family yo have to go through what they are going through. Some people say that his parents are hiding something about his death and that they just wanted his money. And though this could be true it highly unlikely they had something to do with his death. Some people ever said his wife Vanessa never loved him and just wanted the money. Of course, I don’t believe this is true at all and I think that people should do more research before coming to Kobes poor family.
In Memory of Him and Her
His family has received an amazing amount of love and everyone has done everything in their power to comfort his family through the losses of Kobe and Gigi Bryant. They will be missed and never forgotten.
