Contrary to conflicting reports, it is not being reported that former Los Angeles Laker Rick Fox was NOT on the helicopter that crashed with Kobe Bryant aboard.
Some people on Twitter were reporting the Fox was believed to be on the helicopter with Kobe, but NBA TV’s Jared Greenberg has since confirmed that he has spoken to Fox about the tragic accident since it happened.
This is a relief, although it doesn’t take away from the tragedy of the situation, as Kobe was said to be with at least four others, including his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna.
We are still sorting out all the conflicting reports. Thoughts and prayers go out to all of those affected by this tragedy.
