- Kobe Bryant’s high school basketball coach said he lost a hero when the former NBA superstar was killed in a helicopter crash, one of the tributes that continued to pour in on Tuesday while investigators sifted through the wreckage looking for clues.
Downer, who remained close to Bryant and his family until the star’s death, remembered meeting Bryant as a skinny 14-year-old. Even then, he recalled, Bryant was an intense player whose competitive nature inspired teammates and coaches. He retired after the 2015-16 season as the third leading scorer in NBA history. He was passed on the scoring list the night before his death by LeBron James, another prodigy who was drafted straight out of high school and went on to succeed Bryant as the game’s dominant star.

Bryant was known since his playing days to travel frequently by helicopter to avoid the Los Angeles area’s glacial traffic.
