Aw man I hate to hear that. Can't say I was a big fan of his but I always respected his game. Truly one of the greats.

Horrible news. Even as someone who does not follow sports and is terrible with names I recognized the name.

A sad day for Basketball and sports in general. Truly one of the last players of a much different era of basketball. While I always loathed the Lakers he will always have my respect and admiration for his heart and desire to win. He was the last in a line of players with a true killer instinct on the basketball court.

RIP one of the GOATS.

How has ESPN not mentioned this? He basically single handedly drove their network for years. Disrespectful.

Edit: finally confirmed it

Devastating news. It's really unbelievable it's hard to believe this can be real, but it is.

Helicopters are the fucking worse. A few years ago the owner of Leicester City also died in a helicopter crash right after the helicopter he was in lifted off from the pitch (something he regularly did).

This was awful...and what Schmeichel went through during this was equally awful as a first responder.

F helicopters.

for what it's worth, CNN is still reporting 5 dead in a helicopter crash, but have not confirmed those dead. Still 5 dead...

A local business person in Buffalo just died last week in a helicopter crash. It just makes me never want to fly in one ever again. Did one in my honeymoon in Hawaii and I was scared as hell

Hope no kids were on board, awful news. Fuck helicopters man. I had to ride in one during training exercises in Army National Guard service, and it was a neat experience, but I will happily go the rest of my life never setting foot in one again. Death traps.

So it's aright to mourn the passing of an accused rapist because he played a children's game well? I'm sorry but I tend to believe accusers.

I've gotten about a dozen "Fuck off" or "Fuck you" responses, but no one saying "No, he wasn't."
