>> we're all still crying today thinking about that news. tributes are pouring in from around the world to kobe bryant. he was as you know an american icon whose cultural impact goes far beyond the mba. bryant and his 13-year-old gianna and seven other people were killed yesterday when their helicopter crashed in california. so this news brought a massive crowd of people to the staple center and they are still there. bryant led the los angeles lakers to five nba titles. tributes continued inside at last night's grammy awards. alicia keys called it the house kobe built. >> on twitter former teammate shaquille o'neal said bryant was so much more than an athlete while lakers legend magic johnson called him a mentor to both male and female players. president trump tweeted he loved his family so much and had such strong passion for the future. and former president obama said bryant was just getting started in what would have been just as

meaningful a second act. we begin our coverage with jonathan vigliotti who is near the scene of the crash in calabasas, northwest of downtown, los angeles. jonathan, what do we know so far about this investigation? >> reporter: anthony, i spoke with several witnesses who say the fog was so thick at the time of this crash they couldn't see the helicopter but they could feel it. and hear it. they said it was flying so low caused many buildings here to vibrate. what ultimately caused this crash is still part of this ongoing investigation. the ntsb is expected here on the scene later this morning. they have their work cut out for them. the terrain is incredibly steep, and a magnesium fire was sparked after this crash, we're told destroyed much of the evidence. >> this is worldwide, just isn't los angeles. we're all hurting. a world of pain. >> he meant happiness. >> reporter: basketball legend kobe bryant wasn't just one of the greatest to play the game, he was admired by people around

the world for his actions off the court as much as when he was on it. >> god, you got a good one introducing the black mamba. >> reporter: kobe was killed after his personal helicopter crashed into a steep hillside killing everybody on board including his 13 daughter. >> it's a logistical nightmare. the crash site itself is not else accessible. >> reporter: debris was scattered across the size of a football field. they were flying in fog so thick the lapd grounded its fleet sunday morning. >> slowly moved here, turned on a track toward that building, the impact, i counted 20, 25

seconds when it was above me, and heard the impact about 25 seconds later. >> bryant, his daughter and seven others were on the way. bryant was to coach his daughter gianna's team. among the victims on the helicopter, orange coach john and the belly. and the pilot, along with the assistant coach, christina mauser. he often called her mambacita after his own nickname. >> we're having a good time. >> like her father, she inherited his love of basketball and hopefully played in the wnba. >> i'm in shock. i still can't believe this is real. >> we spoke to a group of players that participated in the

added risk, they're opting to fly at lower altitude, lower visibility than under normal flight conditions. the decision to continue the flight instead of waiting out weather will be closely scrutinized. he had 8 passengers, flying towards hills that would require the chopper to gain altitude despite low clouds and fog. they tell the helicopter they're too low, in reference to the request for them to follow his flight on radar. it does not appear air traffic control was telling him he was too low for surrounding terrain. the ntsb will be looking for clues something went wrong, whether mechanical or otherwise with the aircraft. >> a lot of questions about the fog. thank you very much. lebron james and kobe bryant's lakers couldn't hold back their heartbreak when they returned to los angeles yesterday. from a distance you can see james getting emotional hugs on the tarmac at lax. the night before james passed kobe to reach the all time

scoring list. dana jacobson is outside staples. i know lebron was being cheered on by kobe and everybody else. what words would you use to describe him this morning? >> reporter: oh, there are so many words. legend. but he was so much more than that. this is a five time nba channel 9, two time olympic gold medalest, nba all-star, worldwide icon. those that knew him best would say he was the fiercest of competitors. it's what he called his mamba mentality. he earned the respect of his peers, inspired a again regulate of athletes and earned love from fans all of them who mourned him yesterday. when you think of the legacy of kobe bryant, it is so much more than the game of basketball, and

the next chapter, he was just beginning to write. >> the news is just devastating to everybody. >> take kobe away, i wouldn't be here. i wouldn't have love. i wouldn't have passion, the drive. >> today is one of the saddest days in my lifetime. >> reporter: hours after lakers legends kobe bryant was killed in a helicopter crash, many struggled to make sense of his death. tiger woods was visibly surprised by the news as he walked off the golf course at sunday's farmers insurance open. >> he burned so hot. he brought it each and every night on both ends of the floor. >> reporter: over his 20 seasons in the nba, bryant became known as the league's big shot taker. but after his retirement in 2016 he traded slam dunks for story telling. launching a podcast. writing a series of young adult novels.

help gigi find her stride. >> what's the biggest challenge in coaching your own daughter? >> making sure she knows i love her whether she plays well or plays like crap. you're my daughter before you're a basketball player. >> when all is said and done 50 years from now how do you want the world to look at kobe bryant? >> you know, as a person that was able to create stories that inspired children to dream, but not only dream, but have the initiative to wake up every morning to help their dream become a reality. >> reporter: that story telling really was a passion for kobe bryant. he was using his production company to m spire a generation and that side of him is a side a lot of people are remembering, especially athletes that knew him best. coming up at 8:00, we talk more

the helicopter but you could feel it and hear it. >> the pilot was in touch with air traffic control. in fact, he told controllers he was going to try to climb above the clouds. >> he earned the respect of his peers, inspired a generation of athletes, but when you think about the legacy, it is so much more than the game of basketball. >> inside that building, which was kobe's cathedral, you could tell the artists were not just celebrating the year in music but kobe bryant's enduring legacy as well. >> what will you remember most about him? >> the fire. he burned so competitively hot. >> so many millions of people loved him for so many different reasons. >> memorials, vigils, and tributes are emerging all across the sports world. >> this was a man for all seasons, who inspired millions of fans all over the world. he just seemed really happy with his post basketball life and to have something like this happen is just not fair.

>> kobe, my thoughts are with you. absolutely. rest in peace, young man. >> this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota. let's go places. welcome back to "cbs this morning." new tributes to kobe bryant keep coming in from all around the world today. bryant as you know was killed in a helicopter crash yesterday northwest of los angeles. he was just 41 years old. his 13-year-old daughter gianna also known as gigi and seven other people also died when their chopper crashed into a hillside in heavy fog. thousands of fans brought keepsakes to staples center in los angeles where bryant won five nba championships from the l.a. lakers during his 20-year career. jonathan vigliotti is in calabasas, california near the crash scene. what can you tell us about where the investigation stands right now? >> reporter: good morning to you. crews will continue to scour the site today to collect evidence in a process we're told could take as long as a week. meanwhile, the ntsb is sending a crew of 18 here to investigate.

they are expected to arrive later this morning. they will be joined by the faa who will help piece together what led up to this tragic crash. kobe bryant, his 13-year-old daughter, gianna, and seven others were onboard when the sikorsky chopper took off yesterday from john wayne airport in santa ana. it crashed about 40 minutes later in foggy conditions, leaving a debris field about the size of a football field. it's not clear if the fog or technical issues were the cause. we've also identified all seven other victims killed in the crash. john altobelli, his wife keri, and their daughter alyssa who was a teammate of gianna bryant also killed was sarah chester and her daughter payton also a teammate. christina mauser was an assistant coach and the pilot a ara zobayan all heading to bryant's basketball tournament. bryant was a coach of his daughter's team. as for the cause of this crash answers may not come quickly. the ntsb typically takes as long

as a year to conduct their investigation. they'll specifically be looking into why the pilot chose to fly during foggy conditions and it's an important note here, anthony, because the l.a. sheriff's department grounded all of their helicopters yesterday because of the weather. >> jonathan, thank you. kobe bryant was of course a basketball legend but also a businessman, author, and a husband and father. bryant would routinely skip going to lakers games after his retirement to attend his daughters' games. "cbs this morning" saturday cohost dana jacobson spoke with him about his family last fall and is outside the staples center in los angeles, which alicia keys said last night is really of course the house that kobe bryant built. dana, what is happening there? >> reporter: lakers fans have been returning to this plaza across from staples center since before dawn to honor kobe bryant, many leaving memorabilia, everything from balloons and jerseys to cards, even pictures and basketballs. bryant has been honored by his

peers as well since yesterday. many remembering him as the father that he had become. in an online post derek jeter wrote despite kobe's athletic ability, despite kobe's obsession to win, he always put family before everything. when i spoke with him in october, that was very apparent. are you enjoying being able to have time with them? >> oh, i am. >> reporter: kobe was the mahn the house he shared with wife vanessa and their four daughters. >> reporter: you are the only man. what is the bryant household like? >> i'm very comfortable with where i am at on the totem pole. >> reporter: kobe told me he was enjoying more time with his daughters. his main job since retiring in 2016? dad. in your house do they look at you and go, dad. just stop. be quiet. >> oh, my god, yeah. i never know what i'm talking about. i have absolutely no say so. and they do it tongue in cheek but they mean it. >> reporter: except maybe when it came to basketball.

kobe's 13-year-old daughter gigi had developed her own love of the game. you coached gigi's basketball team. >> yeah. >> reporter: what is the biggest challenge in coaching your own daughter? >> making sure she knows i love her whether she plays well or plays like crap. doesn't matter. it's fine. you know, you're my daughter before you're a basketball player. >> reporter: is there a different sense of pride in watching her out there as her coach being there? >> what i love the most is that we've gotten to a place now where she sees something that is making her uncomfortable on the court she'll come up and say, hey dad, this is what's happening. this is what i'm feeling. what should i do here? >> reporter: it was really obvious how much kobe loved being a father to those four girls and in so many ways he was a father figure to others, inspiring again a generation of athletes, including the young girls that were on gigi's basketball team, who now are dealing with more tragedy than any young girls their age should ever have to. >> dana, we love what he had to

say in your interview that she is his daughter first and basketball player second. thank you very much. some of the biggest names in sports say they were lost for words when they heard the news about kobe bryant. fellow nba greats kareem abdul-jabaar and dwyane wade spoke out on social media as did neymar and other soccer stars. bryant was a fan of theirs. last night we asked caron butler who also played for the lakers about their friendship and this is a picture of bryant with butler's family. bryant said butler was one of just four teammates in his 20-year career that he stayed personally close to. >> he's my brother. there are certain people that you meet along the journey and you recognize that it's bigger than basketball. that you guys are going to have a relationship way past the game and life and i recognized that immediately once i met kobe

bryant. he taught me a lot about just overcoming. not putting ceilings or limitations on you on what you can be capable of accomplishing in life. some people run away from challenges in life. kobe presented a challenge of greatness. >> william c. rodhoden is a columnist at large for undefeated. he covered kobe bryant's entire 20 years in the nba. good morning. magic johnson lakers great said kobe is the greatest laker of all time in a statement that made clear that he meant not only basketball player but bigger than that. what do you think kobe's legacy will be? >> well, the number of people he touched, you know, i was thinking about that knowing i'm coming here. what do you say about this? that is sort of the burden of what we do. how do you make sense out of something that makes no sense. how do you put emotion -- >> unthinkable. >> yeah.

you know, here i kept thinking about being at ebenezer baptist church this time last year during the super bowl and they were playing dr. king's speech, death is going to come for all of us but when that day comes, when that time comes don't tell them about my awards. just tell them about i tried to love somebody. i tried to make a difference. so when you're listening to kobe and he made mistakes. >> yes. >> he lived his public mistakes because from the time he was 17 he's on that public stage. >> you covered him at 17. what do you remember about him? >> i just remember him, you know, he and his dad were down there and he was, just signed a big contract. >> his dad was a famous player too. >> joe "jellybean" bryant. just the charisma. this guy's got it. you could tell at 17 he was doing the photos -- >> what did he have? >> he had a basketball -- kobe, they were trying to get the pr pictures and i just remember he had the ball doing a crossover and smiling and just the charisma and i said, man. this guy's got it. >> he was always a star but he wasn't always beloved.

he played with shaq and there was a lot of tension there. >> well, yeah. because he was telling shaq, man, you got to be in shape. we won three. we could win five had you been in shape. we've all had teammates like that who were just, you know, even now i'm sure everybody is loving him but when you're competing with somebody like that, you know, and he's just kind of driving you and driving you and nothing you're doing is good enough, but that's what makes him -- outside of michael jordan, kobe is probably the most focused, most focused athlete that i've ever been around. and i think that competitiveness, when he did get into some, into the problems with the, you know, the investigation, he used his competitiveness. he said it. i am going to probably spend the rest of my life repairing my relationship with my wife. >> which it appeared that he did because they had another baby after all of that. and i think this is what i keep thinking about vanessa. not only does she lose her husband, but she loses a 13-year-old daughter and to hear

that you can't even get the bodies yet or at least several days because the accident scene is so perilous to get to. >> right. awful. >> i think it is so shocking, bill, because he was 41, which is so young. he was having a really great second chapter. i think that's -- and his daughter was onboard. that hits us all so hard. even if you didn't know him you feel a tremendous sense of loss. >> and a baby at home. >> yes. >> the thing is, again, i spoke at my high school coach's funeral. he was 95. we lost david stern. i think 70 something. >> nba commissioner, yes. >> but the thread for all of that is when you, all of the stuff they packed in, to their lives, you know, kobe packed a lot of stuff in to those 41 years. fortunately, he did the book. >> yes. >> he did the documentary. so he, there is a record of his life and i think it's a reminder. our business is all about health, youth, and accomplishments. >> yes. but it is such a painful

remainder of the fragility of life. >> every time i look at a picture of him and his daughter, i just -- >> that's the heart break. >> william c. rhoden, thank you so much, bill, for being with us. you can hear more of dana jacobson's conversation with kobe bryant from october on today's cbs this morning podcast available on your good monday morning to you. a quiet start to the work week. we are looking at patchy light fog. temperatures are cooler compared to yesterday. through the afternoon, enjoy the sunshine. 59, san francisco. 60, oakland. 64, san jose. a weak weather system will be a few light showers for your tuesday and then high pressure built-in and we will warm-up at the end of the week.
