Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported that Bryant “was on his way to a travel basketball game with his daughter Gianna when the helicopter crashed. Those aboard the helicopter also included another player and parent.” The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department reported that there was a helicopter crash in Calabasas earlier on Sunday, January 26, and there were no survivors. The 6-foot-6 small forward was one of the most accomplished players in NBA history, winning five NBA championships, two NBA Finals MVP awards, two Olympic gold medals, an NBA regular-season MVP award, and being named an All-Star 18 times. On Saturday night, the day before the crash, Bryant was trending across social media after Lakers forward LeBron James passed Bryant on the NBA’s all-time scoring list. Bryant took to social media to congratulate James on the accomplishment, writing: “Continuing to move the game forward @KingJames. Much respect my brother 💪🏾 #33644”.
