24 powerful photos by which to remember Kobe Bryant
Former NBA star went straight from HS to the league; spent all 20 seasons with Lakers

Kobe Bryant, an 18-time All-Star who won five NBA championships and became one of the greatest basketball players of his generation during a 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers, died in a helicopter crash Sunday.
He was 41.
The crash took place in the foggy hills above Calabasas, California, about 30 miles northwest of downtown LA, according to the Associated Press.
Bryant’s 13-year-old daughter Gianna also died.

Authorities said nine people were on the helicopter Sunday, and all were presumed dead, according to the AP.
Bryant, who lived in coastal Orange County, often used helicopters to save time and avoid Southern California’s notoriously heavy traffic. He traveled to practices and games by helicopter before retiring in 2016.
He continued to travel this way after retirement as he worked on new ventures, which included an entertainment company that recently produced an Academy Award-winning animated short film, the AP said.
