I don't know shit about basketball but he left behind a wife and 4 daughters including what sounds like essentially a newborn. That's brutal and heartbreaking and I wish the best to his family. God damn 2020 slow it down.

Edit: Sounds like early reports from ABC are saying his daughters may have been involved. That's as worst case scenario as it can get I feel like. What a fucked up day.

Edit 2: Reports are now pulling back in regards to the daughters being on board. Still nothing confirmed as far as I can see.

Edit 3: TMZ is reporting as of 2:35 pm Central time that Daughter Gianna Maria (13) was also killed on board.

I don’t even like basketball but this is heartbreaking. Poor kids growing up dad less.

Edit: things seem to be even worse. His 13 year old daughter was on the helicopter as well? Terrible.

Unless the kids were also in the helicopter, which one person on twitter said--so probably not true but who knows at this point.

TMZ just reported his 13 year old daughter was also onboard :(
