Everything's just a "coink-e-dink," no doubt. That also applies to the rather "out there" predictive programming element from the Comedy Central series, Legends of Chamberlain Heights (2016), and an episode that spoke of things a few years before as regards Kobe Bryant and the tragic incident with eight others.
Here's that interesting snippet from Season 1, Episode 8 called End of Days.

Righto. Here's the list of Season 1 Episodes.
Now, let's look at a few numbers at play...
S01 E08 : 1+8 = 9
2016 : 2+1+6 = 9
Kobe death : 1/26 = 9
Number of people that died = 9.
But that can also be easily dismissed as more coink-e-dink. Nothing to see here ... move along!
If that isn't enough "it must just be random" factor, let's now add this 2011 Nike commercial to the mix for added effect featuring you know who again and a "helio-chopter" in the mix. Righto.

We're all full up now here at Rancho Coink-e-dink. Scripted reality and predictive programming all around us.
