Sadly his 13 year old daughter was with him also.

John Altobelli, the baseball coach at California's Orange Coast College, was reportedly among the nine killed in a helicopter crash on Sunday along with basketball legend Kobe Bryant and Bryant's teen daughter

Hucksters on Ebay have already jacked up the autographed cards and stuff many upwards of 10-20 thousand. Sellers trying to profit from a tragedy asap, suck donkey ears

Happens with every celebrity death. There is a short window when prices spike. A lot of it is the market. Look at Kobe signed jerseys that sold last week. You could get one for $200-$500 bucks. Today, they're going to 10x that and people are buying the stuff. If you're a dealer who has been sitting on inventory for years, you know this is the time to sell.

True I guess - its only worth what someone is willing to pay, but a real Kobe fan would already have what they want before this happened

Somebody has a video of it too 💔😔

It's unbelievable, I've never seen LA so somber as it is right now.
Kobe wasn't even concerned that Lebron passed him in scoring yesterday all-time.
He was all about being in his children's life
and just living his best life as a family man.
Like a regular dude.

I've never met him personally but I thoroughly enjoyed the game of basketball because of him.
Just a humble reminder that we all have to "go" someday. In some type of way 💔💔💔

Kobe would have went to Duke.
Titles would have been won.
More things to hold over Carolina.

Kobe is and will forever be a legend of the game.
To me he is arguably the greatest laker ever.
I don’t believe there was/is anyone who can beat prime Kobe. Lebron included.
A great ambassador of the game and did a lot of good for the game. I don’t remember him bring any bad light on the game.
He’ll be missed.

Rip 24/8

Totally disagree, unless we're just talking about his status as an LA icon. Shaq, Magic, Kareem, and maybe even West were all better players for the Lakers, IMO. Kobe's legend is greater than his actual career and it's this totally bitter coincidence that he had a legendary death. Some people are just destined to be remembered, it seems.

pardon me but how the hell is his death legendary? Or any death for that matter?

It’s very sad. He was a pompous and arrogant player when he came into the league, and he eventually became a leader and pushed his team to work harder. I couldn’t stand him in his early years, and then I came to respect him as he matured. I think it’s especially sad that his daughter died with him. As a parent, that makes it get you right in the feels.
