Mamba forever

[@sumeetbeniwal6365]

Lorenzen was murdered, kobe died in a helicopter crash, and David Stern died of old age on new years 2020, 26 days before Kobe died. May all of these people rest in peace.

[@whatthefleeb]

@@sumeetbeniwal6365 Stern died from complications from a brain hemorrhage he suffered on the 12th of December 2019, but at 77 I guess you can consider that old age. Kobe and Lorenzen's deaths were just tragic though. Edit: Don't mean to say that Stern's death was not tragic, as there were just as many loved ones of his who felt that loss, but Kobe and Lorenzen were so young comparatively. May they all rest in peace, including the 8 others on board the helicopter Kobe went down on, those being his daughter Gianna, pilot Ara Zobayan, John, Keri, and Alyssa Altobelli, Payton and Sara Chester, and Christina Mauser.
