1. Basketball is basically the most popular sport in yeshiva. A lot of people follow it, so they know about Koby Bryant.

2. He was extremely famous, so even if you and no one you know followed basketball (very unlikely in a vast majority of yeshivos) you probably heard of him at least a little.

3. Helicopter crashes are big news.

4. He was young, his daughter was obviously also very young, and 6 or 7 other people died. It’s very sad.

5. It’s getting wall to wall coverage in the goyish media. Even if you don’t follow sports or care about celebrities, if something is being covered by literally every outlet all day, you will most likely hear about it.
