It has been four years since Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna Bryant have been deceased, and everyone still remembers where they were when that news came down.
Reports of the 41-year-old Los Angeles Lakers superstar’s death broke right before the Pro Bowl in 2020, and everyone on the field had the same reactions.
To put this moment into perspective, the global pandemic still hadn’t happened yet as COVID was spreading, and everyone was still largely unaware at the time as life as we knew it was still relatively normal.
Then, Kobe Bryant died.
Footage has surfaced showing the many reactions of players like Kirk Cousins, Drew Brees, Mark Ingram, and Lamar Jackson as fans chanted his name in the stadium.

NTSB Stated Pilot Had’ Spatial Disorientation’ During Kobe Bryant Helicopter Crash
The helicopter crash that killed Kobe Bryant, his daughter, and many others was said to be caused by the pilot flying into the clouds as well as ensuing spatial disorientation, the National Transportation Safety Board ruled in 2021.
It was determined the probable cause of the crash was pilot Ara Zobayan’s “decision to continue flight under visual flight rules [VFR] into instrument meteorological conditions [IMC], which resulted in the pilot’s spatial disorientation and loss of control.”
The NTSB added that it was “the pilot’s likely self-induced pressure and the pilot’s plan continuation bias, which adversely affected his decision making,” and Island Express’s “inadequate review and oversight of its safety management processes.”

Former New York Giants star Michael Strahan is keeping up appearances and putting on a brave face amid what has to be one of the most distressing periods of his life.
Strahan’s 19-year-old daughter Isabella is currently battling cancer, and she has been keeping her followers updated as it pertains to her treatment, progress, and setbacks.
Isabella is fighting to beat medulloblastoma, a rare malignant tumor at the base of her brain. She’s undergoing chemotherapy at the moment, and it’s expectedly taking a toll on her body.
The treatment is also having an effect on her mind, as she’s revealed suffering memory loss in her latest YouTube update.
“I’m given this drug to protect my hearing, and just because I have a reaction to it, they give me Ativan. And for some reason, this happened last time too, I can’t remember a single thing about that day,” she shared.
Isabella’s video includes footage from her hospital visit, during which she was eating a sandwich that she couldn’t recall ordering.
