Basketball legend Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna were killed in a helicopter crash on Sunday in Calabasas, Calif., the city's mayor has confirmed. Bryant was 41.

洛杉矶市长证实，篮球传奇人物科比·布莱恩特和他13岁的女儿吉安娜于周日在加州卡拉巴萨斯的直升机坠毁事故中丧生。科比41岁。

Bryant played for the Los Angeles Lakers for 20 seasons and is considered one of the greatest players in NBA history. Over the course of his storied career he led the Lakers to five championships, was an 18-time All-Star and was the NBA's Most Valuable Player in the 2007-2008 season. He is fourth on the NBA's all-time scoring list and once scored 81 points in a single game, the second-most ever.

科比在洛杉矶湖人队效力了20个赛季，被认为是NBA历史上最伟大的球员之一。在他传奇的职业生涯中，他带领湖人队获得了5次总冠军，18次入选全明星，是2007-2008赛季NBA最有价值球员。他在NBA历史得分榜上排名第四，曾经单场拿下81分，历史第二。

Bryant and his daughter were traveling in a Sikorsky S-76B helicopter built in 1991 when it crashed under foggy conditions in the hills above Calabasas. In all, eight passengers and one pilot were killed in the crash, according to Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva.

科比和他的女儿乘坐的是1991年建造的西科斯基S-76B直升机，当时飞机在大雾中坠毁在卡拉巴萨斯的山上。据洛杉矶县治安官亚历克斯·维拉纽瓦称，共有八名乘客和一名飞行员在事故中丧生。

Orange Coast College head baseball coach John Altobelli, his wife Keri and his daughter Alyssa, were also among the victims, according to a statement from the college.

据奥兰治海岸学院发表的一份声明，该校棒球总教练约翰·艾托贝利、他的妻子凯里和女儿阿丽莎也在遇难者之列。

"The aircraft went down in a remote field off Las Virgenes around 10:00 this morning. Nobody on the ground was hurt," the city of Calabasas wrote on Twitter. The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are both investigating, the city said.

卡拉巴萨斯市在推特上写道：“今天上午10点左右，飞机在拉斯维吉尼附近的一个偏远地区坠毁。地面上没有人受伤。”该市表示，联邦航空管理局和国家运输安全委员会都在进行调查。

"For 20 seasons, Kobe showed us what is possible when remarkable talent blends with an absolute devotion to winning," NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said in a statement. "... But 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. He was generous with the wisdom he acquired and saw it as his mission to share it with future generations of players, taking special delight in passing down his love of the game to Gianna."

NBA总裁亚当·西尔弗在一份声明中说:“在过去的20个赛季里，科比向我们展示了非凡的天赋与必胜的信念相结合的可能性。”“…但他最令人难忘的是，他激励世界各地的人们拿起篮球，尽自己最大的能力去比赛。他对自己所获得的智慧很慷慨，并把与未来几代球员分享这些视为自己的使命，特别乐于将自己对足球的热爱传递给吉安娜。”

Across the basketball world on Sunday, words of grief poured in following the news of Bryant's death. Shaquille O'Neal, who won three championships with Bryant while with the Lakers, said there are "no words to express the pain Im [sic] going through with this tragedy of loosing my neice Gigi & my brother."

周日，在科比去世的消息传出后，整个篮球界都沉浸在悲痛之中。沙奎尔·奥尼尔曾随科比在湖人队获得过三次总冠军，他说:“我无法用语言来表达失去我的侄女吉安娜和我的哥哥的悲痛。”

Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, one of just three people to have scored more career points than Bryant, said he "will always remember him as a man who was much more than an athlete."

湖人队的传奇人物卡里姆·阿卜杜尔·贾巴尔是仅有的三个比科比获得更多职业积分的人之一，他说他“将永远记住他，而他不仅仅是运动员。”

Bryant won consecutive NBA titles with the Lakers in 2000. 2001 and 2002 — and then again in 2009 and 2010.

科比在2000年、2001年和2002年连续获得NBA总冠军，然后在2009年和2010年再次获得总冠军。

Injuries held him back in the final years of his career, with a tear of his Achilles tendon at the end of the 2013 season, followed by a knee injury and rotator cuff surgery. He announced his retirement with a poem, which begins:

在他职业生涯的最后几年，伤病拖了他的后腿，在2013赛季末，他的跟腱撕裂，接着是膝盖受伤和肌腱套手术。

Despite his achievements on the court, Bryant's life off the court was not without controversy.

尽管他在球场上取得了成就，但科比的场外生活也不是没有争议的。

After his retirement in 2016. Bryant started a production company, Granity Studios. The operation has put out young adult books, a podcast and created the Oscar-winning animated short, Dear Basketball.

2016年退役后，布莱恩特创办了制片公司克里斯蒂工作室。该公司推出了青少年读物、播客，还制作了奥斯卡获奖动画短片《亲爱的篮球》。

He was married to Vanessa Bryant — the two were parents to four daughters.

他与瓦妮莎·布莱恩特结婚，两人育有四个女儿。

In retirement, Bryant and his daughter Gianna could occasionally be spotted sitting court side at Lakers games. In a 2018 interview with Jimmy Kimmel, Bryant said Gianna wanted to play in the WNBA "for sure."

退役后，科比和他的女儿吉安娜偶尔会出现在湖人的场边。在2018年接受吉米·坎摩尔的采访时，布莱恩特说吉安娜“肯定”想要在美国女子篮球联盟打球。

"The best thing that happens is when we go out and fans will come up to me and she'll be standing next to me and they'll be like, 'Hey you got to have a boy, you and V gotta have a boy ... someone to carry on the tradition, the legacy," Bryant told Kimmel. He said Gianna would interrupt and respond, "I got this."

“最棒的事情是当我们走出去的时候，粉丝们会走向我，她会站在我旁边，他们会说，‘嘿，你得有个男孩，你和瓦妮莎·布莱恩特得生个男孩……他是一个继承传统的人。”他说吉安娜会打断他说:“我明白了。”
