Apparently he flew by Helicopter all the time.  Never worried about it.

So many celebs have died in small aircraft, i can see this perhaps scaring off others from this mode of travel.

I have no idea if it's safer than driving or not, but i'm inherently afraid of getting in a crash i can't possibly walk away from. 

You can't even parachute out to safety, it's just dangerous.

I think it was the 2005-2006 season.   I was taken to a Knicks game as a surprise gift.  Knicks vs Lakers.  Kobe went off for 40pts.  Lakers won easily.  I remember thinking that to that day Kobe was probably the best player I had ever seen play in-person.  Still is.

That was a shock. It was something to see how different teams and crowds acknowledged him during their games. A real testament to his influence.

FYI, here are a few streaming sites where I've been catching games lately.
This one is for live games: http://nbastreams.xyz/schedule/I watched the last 6 minutes of the Spurs-Raps game, crystal clear last night.  But then my crappy internet couldn't get the BOS -NOPe game to start.

These two are for full replays.
https://www.nbafullhd.com/
I prefer this one because it divides the game into 4 videos one for each quarter, so it's easy to start watching a game at any point.

This one doesn't work as well in the PRC.

Some very winnable games coming up.  We may have dug too deep a hole early in the season with Fizdale and no Payton but the 9th seed is easily within our grasp if we want it.    We could go 9-4 over the next stretch if we beat who we should beat.  More likely we go 6-7 but even that might be enough to move up some spots in the standings.

Er, 4 teams obviously much better than us.
Of the 9 games against weak sisters, 2 games @ CHA.  They are at our level or better and have some young legs that could give us trouble.  Hit their 3's and were sunk.  Memf has been playing well; JaMo is the real thing.  ORL matches up well with us with their size. CHI is at our level or better, if healthy.  Wiz are very deep and score a lot with no D.  And even the CLE & ATl games are on the Road.
Maybe 5-8 . . .

As for helicopters and small private planes, I always think they are more dangerous when flown by amateurs (ie if Kobe or another parent were the pilot).  Also, many planes stay in service a long time and the older the flying machine the more likely a mechanical problem.  The helicopter Kobe was nearly 30 years old, put in service way back in 1991. 

But the usual culprit is poor weather, combined with human error or mechanical issues. I was thinking that southern CA would be a good place for helicopters, much like motorcycles, since the weather is usually clear and sunny.  But seems there was a pretty severe morning fog that day, and the LAPD grounded their helicopters due to the poor visibility.  Gotta wait til that stuff burns off as the sun heats the planet.

The pilot was experienced but supposedly they were in 0 visibility fog.  Risky business.

With harden, Rustbrook and Capela out, Dantmanbee started PJ Tucker at C and 4 guards.  Making Gobert have to guard Tuck on the perimeter.  And taking advantage of slowfooted guys like Ingles.
UTA did a poor job of getting the ball into GoBear.  UTA has COnley coming off the bench for whatever reason -- the Rockets announcers noted it, but didn't explain much.

Gordon went off for a career high 50 (with 20 FTA's) and Rockets won.  Rockets got 49 FT's.  Credit for D'Ant for sticking with his style.

DSJ gets the nod as first PG off the bench, Frank seems to be happy for him as he makes two high degree of difficulty layups.

No word on why Frank is not playing.
Clyde surprised since Frank had a good game vs BKN
Breen speculating the Knicks are showcasing Dennis for a trade.

Yup.

Also the league wants to keep us in lotto contention.
