He is very young, he have more years had this accident never happened. He looks like he was in his 20's when he was in his 40's. His daughter is also too young as well. This is a guy with decent life, no vices and scandals. Meanwhile we have people like Weinstein and Susan still alive.

It is so shocking! Such a tragic and premature end of a great person! May his soul rest in peace!

Definitely a crazy story - unfortunate. Especially unfortunate that TMZ reported before family could be told by proper authorities.

This was just terrible and I don't even have words to express my sadness

Sad indeed and one of his daughters was among them. We couldn't imagine how his wife and the other girls must be feeling at this time. The same goes for the friends and families of the others who were in the crash. At the press conference by LA County Sheriff, it was revealed that a total of 9 people died in the crash. It's a sad situation for everyone.

And his last message was support message to Le Bron James after taking his record. He was always great athlete, on and outside the field.

I remember it, yes. He was loved for being that kind of person.

When I first saw this on the news yesterday, I honestly couldn't believe it, I was stunned!!! It's a terrible loss for the world of sports. He truly transcended race and sports barriers. I don't even follow basketball, yet I was very aware of him and actually watched an interview he did with CNN recently. A tragic loss

May you rest in peace and your daughter too. Condolences to the family and friends. Sending prayers for you and the other victims too

His daughter inherited his talent. Had she survived, she might have managed to make WNBA relevant with her father's name. Sad she died too. She was only 13.

No doubt she would have continued along that path. You just know she was daddy's girl becoming just like dad. She had her fans too.

One of the best... Surely, he will be miss... Gone too soon...

[MysticMoons]

This is such crazy and sad news.
People are going wild about this all over social media right now.

[freelancermariagrace]

Gone too soon. I was really shocked upon hearing the news. I am not a fan but I was affected by his sudden passing.

[Netherrealmer]

At least Kobe gets to have a successful career and enjoyed his adulthood. His daughter never get to enjoy her potential which is more sadder.

Yes, sometimes they go very young without having experienced much. It still seems like she was happy and enjoyed her time while she was here. The thought of this puts a smile on my face too.

This is very shocking indeed. The images of father-daughter duo on social media made me feel emotional. Well, they deserved to live much longer.

Came across with your post, and it made me sad. I miss seeing him coach his daughter's team. If only we could turn back time. RIP Goat.

Yes, many people said the same about Goat. It was an unexpected departure.
