I'd just settled down to watch the pro bowl when they mentioned it, although only a casual fan of the NBA the last few years, I just didnt feel like watching the pro bowl after that announcement.

Utterly shocking. My stomach dropped when it came over my phone.
It also appears his 13 daughter was among those aboard and died in the crash as well. |

Sadly when things like this happen it's likely other family members have been involved as well.

I was wondering if any family was with him. Just tragic.

No information as to the cause. But his second oldest daughter was considered to be a talented middle school player.
He was known to frequently go between Newport Beach and Calabasas where he has a gym and basketball camp. Last edited by rudel.dietrich; 01-26-2020 at 04:27 PM. |

I remember back when Payne Stewart, around the same age I believe died tragically in a plane accident. That was sad too. It's sad, but you get over it. But when I hear their kids are on board, that takes it to a new level. |

Apparently it's now 9 dead. The pilot and eight passengers.

The air traffic control audio is up in few places. I’ll wait for official ruling but it sounds like CFIT is a likely cause.
