2 . Basketball fans around the world are mourning the death of American superstar Kobe Bryant.

Bryant was killed in a helicopter crash Sunday in California, along with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven other people. He was 41 years old.

Bryant was an 18-time All-Star player. He won five NBA championships and two Olympic gold medals. He was widely considered one of the greatest basketball players of his generation during his 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers.

The helicopter carrying Bryant and the others crashed into a hilly area in foggy conditions outside Los Angeles. Bryant lived south of Los Angeles and often used helicopters to travel around the area to save time and avoid Southern California traffic.

The cause of the crash is under investigation. It took place about 32 kilometers from Bryant's Mamba Sports Academy, a basketball training center in Newbury Park, California. Bryant was on his way to attend a youth basketball competition on Sunday with his daughter. Bryant and his wife, Vanessa, had four daughters.

When he retired from the NBA in 2016, Bryant was the third-leading scorer in NBA history with 33,643 points. He is widely expected to be elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame this year.

The basketball world and the Los Angeles community reacted to Bryant’s death with an outpouring of sadness, disbelief and support.

In a statement, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said Bryant was one of the greatest stars in the game. But he added, He will be remembered most for inspiring people around the world to pick up a basketball and compete to the very best of their ability.

On Twitter, U.S. President Donald Trump noted the terrible news. He called Bryant one of the truly great basketball players of all time who was just getting started in life.

My classmate, Joseph, is at present in hospital                    
with a breaking leg. He was walking to school the other
day when he let a bicycle ran right into him. He never
watches where he is going, so he often gets into the trouble.
But he is having a nice time there. He has a comfortable
room, patiently nurses, and a great deal of time to read.
Some friends of his go to see him every day, they take him
lots of good book and fresh fruit. He is not losing any time
from school because he is busy study what he has
missed in classes. The doctor says he is recovering fast than
expected and will be out of hospital a few weeks.
