Leicester's owner died in a helicopter crash as well. It's sketchy as hell.

Helicopters are notoriously hard to maneuver, and hence pilot error is a major reason in many helicopter crashes. Also, if a plane loses power, it still has time to glide down an make an emergency landing in many situations. If a helicopter loses power, it plummets to the ground and its occupants have zero chance of survival (with the Leicester owner for example). Finally, helicopters fly at much lower altitudes which make them more susceptible to colliding with high terrain and other obstacles. It looks like this is what happened in this case.

Along with his little boy. Best WRC driver UK ever produced.

No wonder Russians love it so much. I think I saw Hillary "HILDABEAST" Clinton in one before now that you mention it...

 

[Cerval]

Wow

 

[AFL_ITALIA]

It's so hard to watch that.

 

[Bianconero81]

Wow

I can't stop crying watching that. It's so heart-wrenching

Kobe was a legend, an inspiration, and an icon/idol to many, myself included.

 

[Osman]

Wow

FFS, its impossible to watch that, Shaq is one of the most happy go lucky fooling around character ever, to see him so heartbroken is too much.

 

[KB824]

Jerry West was even more heartbreaking. He lost a son. I don't know how he has had the strength to do this on TV for the past few days.

Unless this is fake (Which I doubt, since KTLA is one of the biggest networks in Los Angeles), the Lakers are holding a press conference in a few minutes

Congratulations, young fella. This made me smile. Never lost faith in you

NBA stupid for hating on Booker. He definitely should be a lock for all star debute, he has gotten insanely efficient top scorer but still gets passed for multiple players with worse seasons.

 

[KB824]

Oh damn. The Lakers first game back is tonight. I don't know if I can watch.

They really should do what the NHL and MLB do, and that is to have a fan vote for an extra spot on the roster. It's just tough when they only have 12 spots on each side

And what makes even less sense is that the NBA allows for their teams to have 15 man rosters, but only 12 for the All Star game?

Booker plays in the west tho, it’s stacked there. Probably should’ve gotten it over Ingram.

Or over Chris Paul actually

I agree that he deserves it over Chris Paul, yes. But Ingram deserves to be there as much as Booker did. Especially considering what he came back from.
