Blighty never took to basketball but in America in that top bracket of sports superstars.

I know him because he had a rape case a long time ago. Don't remember how that ended. That's how I found out he was a basketball player. Never seen him play though but it was clear he was damn good.

Just for context I have only ever seen one basketball match on tv. Those time outs p1ss me off.

Its took the China Virus right out the picture though, Terry

From WW3 super Armageddon we are all going to die, to oh look there's a virus over there we are all going to die... to a helicopter crash killing 4 people taking over the newsfeed.

Its sad and I wish his family well at this time, but seriously you can see the sleight of hand from space with the news media nowadays.

By:

SontaranStratagem When: 26 Jan 20 23:25

"We need to get this China stuff out of the news feed, people are actually starting to question why they ain't dead yet"

They've literally just been handed a free pass here, and no one can question it now because a sports star and his young daughter has died, have some decorum you low life scumbag

terry mccann When: 26 Jan 20 23:33

Pathos overload,this is the state of the MSM

Never heard of him either Manoleeds.

Brings back memories of Payne Stewart.

By:

SontaranStratagem When: 27 Jan 20 00:25

Neymar did a 24 salute after his goal earlier but how would he have known he was dead when he was playing? the news only broke around the time the game was finishing

Mmmmm very interesting

The private Sikorsky S-76 helicopter caught fire after it struck a hillside in Calabasas amid heavy fog.

The cause of the crash is under investigation and witnesses say they heard the chopper engine 'sputtering'.

The 41-year-old basketball star spent his entire 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers, winning five NBA championships before he retired in 2016.

Bryant produced an animated short film, 'Dear Basketball,' that ultimately won an Oscar.

18 All-Star titles before he retired.

His achievements include being the 2008 NBA Most Valuable Player and two-time NBA Finals MVP. He was also NBA scoring champion twice and a two-time Olympic champion.

Widely considered one of the greatest players in the game's history.

I bulk ordered 10,000 N95 3M masks on Friday.
They are increasing in value per unit per minute.
Going to make a killing on them

I have heard of him but wouldn't recognise a photo of him.....neither did the BBC on their late news last night who shown pictures of Lebonn James, they apologised at the end of the programme!

By:

ribero1 When: 27 Jan 20 09:26

BBC led their 10 o clock news with it last night,obviously very sad but i'd also never heard of him although the Mail have informed me this morning that he was a big pal of Beckhams so that's ok then.

By:

terry mccann When: 27 Jan 20 09:33

Bryant wasn't British and Basketball is a minority sport here but don't let that stop them.

By:

flushgordon1 When: 27 Jan 20 09:58

He's no David Bryant.

By:

flushgordon1 When: 27 Jan 20 10:01

Doesn't family guy frequently reference his rapey tendencies.

By:

Injera When: 27 Jan 20 10:30

Totally bizarre from the BBC. How can they show another black man playing basketball and think it was Bryant?!!

By:

flushgordon1 When: 27 Jan 20 10:46

Dizzy Rascals.

Totally bizarre from the BBC that they considered this to be headline news.

Was thinking the same thing. Very sad for all On the helicopter.

But my guess is that over 95% of brits had never heard of him

Are you serious or just joking? I was thinking about it yesterday

By:

detraveller When: 27 Jan 20 11:32

I had a client ask me to do a writeup on those masks which got me thinking. You could really make a killing in Thailand. Here not so much.

Yeh it's a lot more serious than people in the west think.
Plus it's huge news here, the forums are buzzing and Asians are inherently scared of things like this
They are generally weaker people and their immune systems are nowhere near as strong.

I've started wearing a mask (for the first time ever), gloves and glasses
Got quite a lot to do today but after I'm taking my daughter out of school and staying at home for a month or so. I already have months of food in the house, just top up on water and booze!

love to see a pic of that Juce, perhaps by that pool.............I've started wearing a mask (for the first time ever), gloves and glasses

By:

jucel69 When: 27 Jan 20 20:22

I always wear sunglasses anyway!
The masks are hot and uncomfortable, I won't be venturing out much for the foreseeable future!
Loads of chinkies in Thailand, not many where I live thankfully, filthy uncouth bastards and absolutely without manners

To be honest, basketball is a game for ladies.

I always wear sunglasses too and a scarf with a big woolly hat.........

You didn't say if you really bought the 10k masks or was just joking.
