Oregon Ducks Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 As for league-wide number retirement, I would say no. That is reserved for someone like Jackie Robinson. Not Jordan, LeBron, or Kobe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mse326 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 23 minutes ago, HTTRDynasty said: From what I'm reading it is still a bit hard to know if it was just pilot error. There was a significant descent right before the crash and a witness on the ground said it sounded like the engine was sputtering. But it does seem like every one agrees that weather was a major factor. He was also flying under special VFR (that is visual flight rules) instead of just by his instruments. Some things I've read questioned whether that was smart given the area and weather, but I'm not qualified to opine on that. We'll have to wait for NTSB to investigate to no for sure.

beekay414 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) I still can't wrap my head around this. Like, I refuse to believe he's gone. I was always team LeBron during the time where those two were going at it for "best in the world" but, man, if you were/are a fan of basketball, I don't see how this couldn't shake you. This is the worst I've felt about a celebrity death since Robin Williams. Life is unfair and makes me happy that I live every day for the good stuff and drown out what I can't control. This one is going to sting forever. Edited January 27, 2020 by beekay414 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, it's definitely right there for me too. I was just so involved with Robin Williams during my childhood and early adulthood that he felt like family. That's truly the only reason why his death was a bit more impactful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
49er pride Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 For sure going to be waking up tomorrow still in shock. I forget these legendary players are also human because it felt like Kobe was immortal and was going to live to be 80+ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candyman93 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 If there’s any positive to gain, I hope this serves as a learning lesson for all pilots so that future lives can be spared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
