已退役的著名美國職業籃球聯賽 NBA 球員 Kobe Bryant 的離世，
帶著大量指向傳威牧師和錫安教會的共同信息。
他離世的原因，是因為他乘坐的日常代步交通工具直升機，
遇上迷霧而失事撞毀。
意外中，除了 Kobe Bryant，
連同他的機師和 13 歲女兒 Gianna 都一同身亡。
其實，美國的名人和富豪，常以直升機作日常短程代步工具，
因為，直升機可以免除交通擠塞的時間延誤。
Kobe Bryant 曾在電視訪問中，提及到自己經常使用直升機代步，
因為可以節省不少交通時間，可以有更多時間訓練和陪伴家人。
而 Kobe Bryant 喜歡坐直升機代步，是一個在美國人所共知的事。
訪問片段：
Um…tell us a little bit about your routine,
your Newport Beach and you’ll take a helicopter.
跟我們說說你的日常生活吧，紐波特海灘，然後乘坐直升機，
Walk us through it and why and how that started,
a lot of people don't know that story.
告訴我們為什麼會這樣，怎麼開始的，很多人都不知道這個故事。
Yeah, so um…I always get to practice really early.
我總是很早就開始練習，
My routine is always the same.
我的日常總是一樣的，
I'd wake up 4 in the morning, and I'd lift weights, you know,
really early 5 in the morning.
每天早上 4 點起床，然後舉重，很早，凌晨 5 點。
Get home at about 6:30, and time to wake up the kids for school.
大約 6:30 回家，喚醒孩子上學，
And then I take the kids to school every morning, that's what I do.
然後每天早上送孩子上學，這就是我的日常。
I take them to school and then after I take them to school,
I go to practice.
我帶她們到學校，然後去練習，
I drive to practice and this is when before people started
really moving down south.
我開車去訓練，這是在大家開始真正南下之前，
So I can get down to LA in 30-40 minutes, right.
所以我可以在 30-40 分鐘內到達洛杉磯。
So I practiced, I'd stay late after practice, get my shots up,
treatment up, drive back and I can get back in time to pick
the kids up from school, you know after-school activities,
all that fun stuff, even on weekends. 我練習，
經常訓練到很晚，提升技術，好好治療，開車回來，
我可以及時回來接孩子放學，課後活動，玩樂，即使是在周末。
But then, traffic started getting really, really bad, right?
但是後來，交通開始變得非常糟糕，對吧？
And I was sitting in traffic,
I wound up missing like a school play because I was sitting in traffic,
and this thing just kept mounting.
有天我正堵在路上，我最終錯過學校演出，
因為我正堵在路上，而且這種情況不斷增加。
I had to figure out a way where I could still train and focus on the craft,
but still not compromise family time.
我必須尋找出路，既能訓練，專注於這項技藝，
又不影響與家人共處的時間。
And so that's when I looked into helicopters and be able to
get down and back in 15 minutes.
於是我開始選擇直升機，我能在 15 分鐘內回來，
And that's when it started, and so my routine was always the same.
就是從那時開始的，所以我的日常都是一樣的。
Weights early in the morning, kids to school, fly down, practice like crazy,
一大早就舉重，孩子去上學，坐飛機下去，瘋狂地練習。
do my extra work, media, everything I needed to do,
fly back, get back in carpool line, pick the kids up.
做額外的工作，媒體工作，所有要做的事情，
飛回來，回到拼車隊伍，接孩子放學。
And my wife was like, listen, I can pick them up.
我妻子說：聽著，我可以接她們。
I'm like no no no.
我說：不不不。
I want to do that because like you know,
you have road trips and times you're not, you don't see your kids.
我想這樣做，因為你知道，有時候出差，就沒辦法看到孩子。
You know, so like every chance I get to see them and
spend time with them, even if it's 20 minutes in your car,
like I want that, right, so...
所以每次我有機會見到她們，和她們呆在一起，
即使是在車裡的 20 分鐘，也是我想要的。
無獨有偶，早於 3 年前的 2017 年，已經有一齣美國的低俗卡通片，
恥笑 Kobe Bryant 乘坐直升機代步的危險習慣，
早晚會出現墜機意外。
卡通片中，描述 Kobe Bryant 在乘坐直升機時，
遇到意外而墜機，彷彿就是 Kobe Bryant 的死亡預告般。
卡通片段：
It's Kobe Bryant!
是高比拜仁！
Help me. 救我。
Just pass me the trophies and we'll pull you out!
把奬杯給我，我們就把你拉出來。
Pass?
傳球？
