Here's a tribute Jimmy Kimmel did on Kobe. Had some very nice things to say about him. Kind of a testimony of the kind of man, father and person Kobe was.
I’m not a fan of Jimmy Kimmel at all, but I’d say that was a very well orchestrated speech to begin that video.
Here is a recreation of the flight using KML files.
Here is an explanation of what probably happened. The term they are using for this accident is CFIT or Controlled Flight Into Terrain. So far it looks like pilot error compounded by in climate weather.
This is all speculation until the official NTSB report is published.

You are spot on. The type of person he was means nothing. Character is irrelevant. His playing of a sport is all that mattered. A few have mentioned it but apparently there were only two people on the aircraft or so it seems. What about the others? Have we regressed as a society or is it all a ruse?
Jeez, that recreation is speculation but that drop at the end gave me chills.
This is what it seems like. A friend who is a pilot was texting me about it this morning. The weather is usually so good there the guy had basically never had to fly instruments only and wasn't confident in it. He had plenty of time to request instrument clearance while holding for other instrument traffic. He tried to turn back not realizing the rate of decent or what was around him and here we are.
Guessing elevation disoriented due to low cloud cover and didn’t pull collective while making the left turn

Looking like that, rapidly descending left turn...You'd think that collective would have been in his armpit under those conditions, knowing the hazardous terrain and low to no visibility....
I know they said the guy was experienced but his choices almost seemed counterintuitive considering the weather and terrain.
Like a lot of accidents, I bet he had made that trip many times and was caught off guard with the weather. Exposed his inexperience possibly.

“This sounds crazy, but Kobe spoke this, he spoke this,” the 40-year-old shooting guard told host Rachel Nichols, who seemed taken aback.
“He used to say all the time, ‘I want to die young,’ ” he added, while wiping a tear from his face.
Bryant, according to McGrady, would also say, ” ‘I want to be immortalized and, you know, have my career be better than Michael Jordan and I want to die young.’ ”
Yikes. Think I might have kept that to myself. Geez.

I'm also guessing, considering his post NBA success and physical health, I doubt he felt 40 was old.
Also, I suspect what he was really saying is he didn't want to live to see himself become a joke, like Elvis, Madonna, Ali, Tyson, and Cher.
It was before he had kids. He says it in the full clip.
There’s an article that said Kobe had filed to trademark Mambasita for his daughter Gigi last month. So sad.
Don't forget about her blood on his shirt and the fact she was about to testify and all the sudden she was changing her mind because he paid her off. He was a hell of a ball player but he did that shit.
RIP to everyone on that bird and condolences to their families. Very sad story. They never should have been in the air that day. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the families go for a money grab civil suit. Not that it should be warranted but that's the world today.

Pilot could have requested an implement flight path or just not gone but lets blame it on not having one more government mandated nanny that may or may not have made a difference.
