Kobe's Torn Rotators

Alright, listen up, you absolute donut. You really don't know about this? Okay, so, Kobe Bryant was a famous basketball player who tragically died in a helicopter crash. The joke points out a grim similarity: Kobe suffered from a torn rotator cuff injury during his career, and, well, the helicopter's rotators also "tore" during the crash. Dark, I know, but that's the joke.
