even last year i remember lebron doing it
The 33-year-old impressed fans on and off the court, as he left the game in a private helicopter in a bid to avoid the Los Angeles traffic.

“Felt good back on court tonight,” James said in the video.


Despite only playing for 15 minutes he still clocked an impressive 9 points, with three rebounds and three assists.

James’ helicopter antics reminded fans of another famous Laker, as it was highlighted that it was the exact same thing Kobe Bryant used to do.

Nicknamed the ‘Kobecopter’, the hall-of-gamer was famous for taking his own chopper home to his Orange County home in a bid to avoid the traffic.



n 2012, Kobe flew his team-mate Steve Blake to a doctors appointment in the chopper, and in a GQ interview from 2010, it was revealed he does it to avoid his body getting sore in traffic.

Bryant also used the helicopter to get to and from home games at the Staples Center.

“He takes a private helicopter from Orange County, where he lives with his wife and two children, to every home game,” The article stated.

“It’s a nice dash of glitz, a touch of showbiz that goes well with the Hollywood sign in the hazy distance. But sexy as it might seem, Bryant says the helicopter is just another tool for maintaining his body.

“It’s no different than his weights or his whirlpool tubs or his custom-made Nikes. Given his broken finger, his fragile knees, his sore back and achy feet, not to mention his chronic agita, Bryant can’t sit in a car for two hours."




ESPN did a piece years back highliting how he uses copters.

I havent had alcohol in a while. Im about to go get a bottle cuz this is so hard to digest.

Currently listening to nas - just a moment. *sigh*

same

I was tempted to as well but realized I’d be selfishly using this moment as an excuse to indulge in alcohol again (speaking for me only)

it might sound corny but instead I’m use the moment to remember to enjoy myself but @ the same time put my best foot forward and the best representation of myself out there cuz this life shyt is fragile af...no time to waste smh

LWO FOREVER
Some analyst on CNN just said the helicopter could prolly hold 9 people without any weight problems. Seems like a solid helicopter that is normally used for flying people out to oil rigs and shyt.

Gonna be interesting to see what the investigation says on what happened.
Heard on the radio that some variations of that helicopter can hold up to 14 passengers and a crew.
