<ul><li>NBA star <keyword id="101182" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Kobe-Bryant">Kobe Bryant</keyword> passed away on Sunday in a helicopter crash. </li><li>A tweet by dotNoso allegedly predicted how the Lakers basketballer will die in 2012. The Tweet has gone viral. </li><li>The user has since apologised but has not removed the tweet despite multiple requests from fans for ‘bad taste’. </li></ul>The legendary basketball player Kobe Bryant died on Sunday in a helicopter crash alongside his 13-year old daughter, Gianna Maria-Onore Bryant. According to media reports, none survived the crash — including seven others who were aboard the helicopter. In a spine chilling prediction, a twitter user — dotNoso — reportedly predicted that Kobe would ‘end up dying in a helicopter crash’. <div type="twitter" handle="dotNoso" handlename=".Noso" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1040686080071094273/wxUHh6XW_normal.jpg" favoritecount="276509" retweetcount="149657" status="Kobe is going to end up dying in a helicopter crash" createdat="1352842334000" id="268466325842694144"></div>

 Since the NBA star’s death, the tweet has gone viral. DotNoso has apologised for the tweet but hasn’t removed it from the social networking platform despite multiple requests from fans. <div type="twitter" handle="dotNoso" handlename=".Noso" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1040686080071094273/wxUHh6XW_normal.jpg" favoritecount="76811" retweetcount="6712" status="@Aviador Fuck. I’m sorry... Fuck fuck fuck" createdat="1580068115000" id="1221520327504564224"></div>

 Is the tweet real? Some are alleging that the status is fake. The tweet was uploaded using Cabron V2.5 in 2012. However, Carbon V2.4.31 wasn’t released until 2015. However, the time stamp on the tweet still reads 13 November 2012. <div type="twitter" handle="ip_Guy_" handlename="Guy" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1143853302750171138/Pu8KJOEc_normal.png" favoritecount="12642" retweetcount="1984" status="@dotNoso How did you use Carbon V2.5 in 2012 while V2.4.31 was released in 2015? https://t.co/zqxq2LL844" createdat="1580071539000" id="1221534687006380032"></div>

 A review of Google Search also supports the assertion that the tweet is from before 2013. <div type="twitter" handle="boylarbeyi" handlename="YSS ⚡" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1058364729880690690/jGWwajGW_normal.jpg" favoritecount="230" retweetcount="19" status="@ip_Guy_ @dotNoso Tweet is legit, this is google search result before year 2013 https://t.co/PwIvx5VV7p" createdat="1580076585000" id="1221555853498687488"></div>

 Since the tweet went viral, other users have hopped on the thread asking dotNoso to make other predictions like, “Please say Kejriwal is going to lose the <keyword id="1077342" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Delhi-election">Delhi election</keyword>,” and “Do Trump next.” <div type="twitter" handle="theskindoctor13" handlename="THE SKIN DOCTOR" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1208347085650587649/zQ4Pa6gz_normal.jpg" favoritecount="280" retweetcount="24" status="@dotNoso Bro please say Kejriwal is gonna lose Delhi elections badly." createdat="1580094707000" id="1221631861610303488"></div>

While much of his fame may be defined by his accomplishments on the court, he also became an established presence in the business world.He launched <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kobe-bryant-jeff-stibel-launch-investment-fund-2016-8">a $100 million venture capital fund</a> with investor Jeff Stibel following his retirement from the NBA in 2016, but he delved into the business world long before then. In 2014, for example, <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/24384862/kobe-bryant-6m-investment-sports-drink-now-worth-200m">he invested a 10% stake</a> in the sports drink BodyArmor, which is <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kobe-bryant-bodyarmor-investment-worth-200-million-2018-8">now said to be worth $200 million</a> after Coca-Cola purchased a stake in the firm.Bryant even said that he hoped to be <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kobe-bryant-wants-to-be-remembered-as-investor-not-athlete-2016-8">remembered for his investments</a> just as much as his NBA career when speaking with <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2016/08/22/kobe-bryant-no-greater-feeling-than-helping-entrepreneurs.html">CNBC</a> in 2016. "If you really want to create something that lasts generations, you have to help inspired the next generation, right?" Bryant said to the network. "They create something great. And then that generation will inspire the one behind them. That's when you create something forever."Among those who shared their reactions on Sunday were Apple CEO Tim Cook, former Microsoft CEO and Los Angeles Clippers chairman Steve Ballmer, and billionaire entrepreneur and "Shark Tank" TV personality Mark Cuban.Bryant was known to have a tireless work ethic. When speaking on Bill Simmons' podcast back in 2016, investor and former Shark Tank host Chris Sacca <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/chris-sacca-kobe-bryant-investing-2016-4">said Bryant would</a> consistently text and call him with Ted Talks and other news while doing research for his business ventures."He was bringing the same obsessive work ethic to learning about startups that he does to training, to rehab, to his thousand makes a day, to everything," Sacca said. He also wasn't afraid to call other successful leaders for advice, as he told Alex Rodriguez and Dan Catz on an episode of "The Corp" in 2018, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2019/08/28/kobe-bryant-shares-what-he-learned-from-oprah-tim-cook-mark-parker.html">according to CNBC</a>.He said he learned a lot from Oprah Winfrey, Apple CEO Tim Cook, and former Nike CEO Mark Parker in particular, especially when it comes to handling mistakes. "We all make mistakes," Bryant said, according to CNBC. "We all make decisions. And you just continue to plow forward. You continue to figure it out."<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/intelligence/bi-intelligence-daily?IR=T&amp;itm_source=businessinsider&amp;itm_medium=ctgr_bii&amp;itm_term=ctgr_subscription&amp;itm_content=apple&amp;itm_campaign=bi-intelligence-daily"></a> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/why-spacex-blew-up-rocket-on-purpose-2020-1">SpaceX and NASA just blew up a Falcon 9 rocket on purpose, and it has something to do with Apollo 1</a></h3>

Catherine Ivill - FIFA / Getty Images"To see him so happy with his family post playing made it even harder to see the accident happen," USWNT star Carli Lloyd told Business Insider.<ul class="summary-list"><li>USWNT star Carli Lloyd saw a lot of similarities between herself and late NBA icon Kobe Bryant.</li><li>Both highly esteemed in their respective sports and intensely hardworking by nature, Lloyd and Bryant had a shared understanding of what it means to "dedicate your entire life" to succeed at the highest level of athletics.</li><li>In an interview with Business Insider three days after Bryant's death, Lloyd said seeing Bryant thrive in retirement "gave me a sense of feeling of what my post-soccer career might look like."</li><li>"I get what he had to do [during his career]," Lloyd said. "To see him so happy with his family post-playing made it even harder to see the accident happen."</li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/?hprecirc-bullet">Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories</a>.</li></ul>At 37 years old, Carli Lloyd has reached the twilight of her illustrious soccer career.The prolific striker made her US Women's National Team (USWNT) debut in 2005 - when she was just 23 years old - and she's been a focal point for the world's best team ever since. Through four World Cups and three Olympic games, Lloyd has wracked up 122 goals for the USWNT, placing her fourth on the squad's list of all-time leading scorers.She'll be the first to tell you that that level of success never came easy, and that soccer "has consumed my life for the past 15 years." Its only natural, then, that she'd feel some trepidation about her storied career coming to a close.Mitchell Leff / Getty ImagesTwo-time FIFA Player of the Year Carli Lloyd.That's where Kobe Bryant came in.Like so many others, Lloyd looked to the NBA icon's example. She and the longtime Los Angeles Laker shared an unrelenting drive, intense work ethic, and an impressive - bordering on obsessive - desire to be the greatest of all time in their respective sports. Like Lloyd, Bryant devoted his entire life to competing at the highest level. And, like Lloyd, nobody really knew what his life would look like once he moved on from the sport that made his life the stuff of legend."He was coming up and he wanted to be the greatest of all time," Lloyd told Business Insider. "He was outward about that and I've said the same. My goal was to become the greatest player in the world and some people rolled their eyes. Some people laughed. That's how I'm wired. I've wanted to become the greatest of all time and you literally have to sacrifice everything in your life."For that reason, Lloyd said it was comforting to see Bryant, to whom she related in so many ways, thrive in his retired life."He did so much for the sport, but watching him in these last couple of years post-retirement just gave me a sense of feeling of what my post-soccer career might look like," Lloyd said. "That's his family and coaching his daughter, Gigi. It gave you a different perspective into his career post-basketball and he just looked so happy.""I get what he had to do [during his career] and to see him so happy with his family post-playing made it even harder to see the accident happen," Lloyd added.Photo by Elsa/Getty ImagesKobe and Gigi Bryant.On January 26, Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna "Gigi" Bryant, died in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California. Soon after, the biggest names in sports began to publicly express their disbelief and remorse at the untimely and tragic death of "The Black Mamba."Lloyd was no exception. Three days after his passing, she told Insider she still hasn't truly wrapped her head around the fact that he's gone."I'll still go on Twitter and I literally can't believe it," Lloyd said. "He was obviously at the 2008 Olympics and I believe it was the 2015 World Cup watching. He came and supported our team a number of different times. His daughter was a soccer fan. It's tragic. It's honestly heartbreaking."The two-time FIFA Player of the Year took some comfort in the fact that the whole world seemingly banded together to mourn Bryant and the legacy he left behind."The loss of him and Gigi and all the other lives was completely and utterly heartbreaking and a huge tragedy," she said. "But to see the amount of support he's had and people of all walks of life impacted by him is truly inspiring - how many people loved him and how many people respected him."Michael Chow-USA TODAY SportsCarli Lloyd dribbles upfield at the 2019 World Cup in France.Lloyd has long resisted putting an end date on her career. And while she still hasn't announced anything officially, she's ready to admit that she's considering what her life will look like beyond the pitch."I'm going to sort of reassess my life after this year and figure out what I'm going to continue to do - whether that's continuing to play or something different," Lloyd said. "We will have to see exactly what plays out."In the meantime, Lloyd has quite a year ahead of her. She and her teammates are currently competing to clinch a spot at the 2020 Tokyo games at the CONCACAF Olympic qualifying tournament. They'll move on to the She Believes Cup next month before embarking on a journey to win gold - Lloyd's third - in Japan this summer. <ul class="read-more-links"><li>Read more:</li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/uswnt-olympic-roster-cuts-stars-left-off-team-tokyo-2020-2020-2">The USWNT has an embarrassment of riches, and it could be a problem heading into the 2020 Olympics</a></li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/carli-lloyd-kicks-field-goal-super-bowl-commercial-equality-message-2020-1">Carli Lloyd kicks a field goal in Super Bowl commercial, and the message goes beyond just her NFL dreams</a></li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/video-alex-morgan-training-ripping-shots-while-7-months-pregnant-2020-2">Alex Morgan is still training and ripping shots while 7 months pregnant, and it may point to her readiness for the upcoming Olympics</a></li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/video-kobe-bryant-girl-dad-comments-inspire-father-daughter-photos-2020-1">Kobe Bryant once told ESPN's Elle Duncan that he loved being a 'girl dad,' and now fathers are sharing photos with their daughters in solidarity</a></li></ul> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/what-it-takes-to-be-an-nfl-referee-football-sunday-roger-goodell-tom-brady-2018-9">What it takes to be an NFL referee, according to an official who spent 19 seasons in the league</a></h3>
