Kobe uses a personal helicopter to travel from his home to Staples center every day

LOL He goes to the airport and gets the helicopter. That's still a drive. It's not from his home. The Thread title makes it seem like he has a helipad at his home. That would be gangster if he did.

Now if you don't live in Southern California then you probably don't understand it. As a 1 1/2 to 2hr commuter everyday in Orange County to the IE traffic, I say bravo.

Newport Beach to Downtown L.A. is a good 2-3 hr drive in traffic.

Chances of getting a car accident > helicopter crash

:lol
i laughed hard.

I'm more surprised he wasted his money on the Ferrari California.

[QUOTE=KB2009Champ]Sit in LA traffic for two plus hours every game day or buy a helicopter which costs the same as an expensive car? hmmm, i wonder what option i'd pick if it were me.

OP doesnt sound too bright. :roll:[/QUOTE]
Maintaining the helicopter + paying the pilot >>>> owning a car

Of course Kobe is insanely rich so money is not an issue, but once he starts declining and get paid significantly less he'll start feeling the effects.

Does anyone have any information on the make and model of the helicopter? I'd like to compare fuel costs [aviation fuel to 92 octane].

ESPN isn't always right.

He needs one of these

I read somewhere he also takes the helicopter to make it in time for his kid's soccer games

Jesus Christ, don't give alborz more locations to stalk...

Michael Jordan wouldn't use a helicopter, he would have used a fighter jet..

time is money, and to get from where kobe lives to staples takes 2.5 hours, unless youre driving at 300am, then its only 25 mins.

Kobe is likely to sign his last contract after this season for like 5 years making the max. Soooo....what you saying?
