Died ina helicopter crash!
Horrible news!
Don’t understand for the life of me why these rich and famous people who have everything we could dream of risk getting in to helicopters
I've genuinely never heard of him.
AwfulHis 13 year old kid also dead apparently.
Would love to go up in one (i hope i don't crash) but if it did then i guess it's just my time-Don’t understand for the life of me why these rich and famous people who have everything we could dream of risk getting in to helicopters
That made more "column inches" on Twitter than the fact that the 10 o'clock news was leading with the death of a sportsman hardly anyone had heard of, instead of worldwide issues like Corona.Made even more stupid when the footage they mistakenly used of LeBron James clearly shows the name JAMES on the back of his jersey.

Not really globally famous. Mostly famous in the USA and countries where basketball is a major sport (which excludes the UK).It's breaking news about a globally famous sport star dying suddenly, not surprised it led.
Not really globally famous. Mostly famous in the USA and only to basketball fans.
A bit like OJ Simpson was famous in the USA for football (American that is).

But in the USA, they love to think their stars must be household names the world over.
Basketball is a very minor sport in the UK.Basketball is a worldwide sport, Lebron James is one of the most famous sportsmen on the planet. This country's just not all that bothered compared to a lot of others.
I would think most people in this country haven't heard of him but it's just easy for the main news channels in the UK to let it fill the air time so you and I can be retrospectively educated about basketball's legacy even though we're not interested.Basketball is a very minor sport in the UK.
When I was at school, we played, football, rugby and occasionally cricket.
I think we played basketball once in 5 years and most of the kids had no idea what it was.
Maybe the coverage of US sports has expanded in the UK since I left.
Easy headlines. Uses up 5 minutes of the airtime with zero research while they sit back drinking their designer coffees. Does this really justify a news headline slot in this country ? I doubt whether the passing of a famous British footballer/ manager would get as much.The BBC have showed a video of completely the wrong basketball player with the news.
That's what happens when the media are all about copy and paste and don't actually research, knobs.
Sala got a fair bit.Easy headlines. Uses up 5 minutes of the airtime with zero research while they sit back drinking their designer coffees. Does this really justify a news headline slot in this country ? I doubt whether the passing of a famous British footballer/ manager would get as much.
I'd never heard of him either !Sala got a fair bit.
