Magic Johnson on Kobe Bryant, The Lakers & Vacations with Jimmy Kimmel
• Magic Johnson on Kobe ...
I love the fact that their having fun but still honoring the memory of Kobe …. R.I.P THE GOAT
Life must go on
Damn right , same with nba games... look at the numbers these players are putting up
dont mention the word goat when it comes to Bryant! that title belongs to a player still playing.
@@jasonswift7098 jesus christ man just appreciate dont compare
Goat? Jordan is still alive idiot. Rip kobe and his daughter
honestly this is a much needed laughter in a dark moment like this.
Yeeeeeeeees 💔
The host spoke in a reckless manner. He was talking about going on vacation with Magic and magic possibly rejecting his want to travel with him. He was saying that Magic might suddenly say that he has the flu!. Dam it man magic has the flu daily .
Yes 💗💗💗
Right on ..We needed this
Amen. If you want to cry, watch the TNT special, which is also important. Both things-- laughing at treasured memories, weeping for an immense loss-- are part of grieving. The crazy thing is that this was supposed to be Magic. This exact situation-- this precise tragedy, taken too soon. HIV was a death sentence. He was retiring to go die-- or so we thought. It's to the point that I wonder if Magic surviving made this all the more unimaginable. These guys simply live forever. Well-- no, they're people like the rest of us.
The fact that almost 30 years ago this man was doing a press conference about his HIV diagnosis and were now sitting here in 2020 and the guy is 60 years old and looks healthier then most 30 year olds.Incredible!
Do your stretches eat healthy my art teachee is in his 50s guy plays soccer, surfs does everything looks like he's in his 30s even
Its because he sleeps with all his money. It fights the HIV for him
Indeed!
Noah whalen that South Park episode was great lol
Yes, God has blessed and kept Magic. He often shares how grateful he is when he attends church. I see him and his wife at church often.
We out here mourning Kobe's death, and Magic out here doing the hardest thing to do right now- Celebrating Kobe's life.
Mamba Forever.
Perfectly said💜💛
It's not hard
Yes, eloquently.
elijah Majick it is when your still in grief
@@fgt7836 facts
Magic is not only remembering Kobe, he's celebrating his friend's life.
Yes sir
Yes, he’s celebrating!
We’re going to begin to see more and more of that

Yes Mr. Anthony! So please make sure that you’re doing your part and following our Community Guidelines 😁
Hes not even mourning SMH
Kobe’s not gone.. he’s just one step ahead of everyone, like always..

Love That....thanks
Great post Tracer 👍
Wow this is deep..🤔
Who is he ahead of?
@@PONYBOYonline you
Magic Johnson is a class act. It’s beautiful how he’s honouring the memory of Kobe by telling us all the good stuff. Thank you, sir, as hard a it is. This is beautiful.
devilundercoverno
I love Magic; met him several times.....and he was always in a joyful mood. God Bless. And to remember Kobe in high regard....love it.
Magic's positive energy is truly amazing. Even with his eyes glassy throughout the whole video he lifted everyone's spirits.
a bruh lmao
Magic is the only person that can cheer you up in moments like this, the joy andpositive energy he exudes is incredible, maybe magical.
Paolo Bianchi he’s always POSITIVE always...
Thats magic
The amount of love & positive vibes. Priceless.
LOL
JmsRssll 07 lol you’re going to hell and so am I for laughing 😂😂😂
You can tell magic really needed that, you can see him relieving stress as he’s talking.
Love and laughter is the best therapy!!
Jimmy also knows how to make an interview light hearted and fun like that, he's great.
Yea, that video made him laugh hard even though the loss
Magic has that type of laugh that makes me laugh with him
Right 😂😂
Garon Gribble Magic has the best laugh
Truuu xD
MANCHESTER UNITED 😐 huh
True 😂
This Man lost a beloved friend but holds back his emotions and is trying to raise peoples spirits
Admirable person
Truely Magic!!
How do you know?
broc olosuan
Coz he is not a cruel asshole
He was his friend
@@user-fk9md2il4d Don't think he is holding back his emotions. This is just how Magic is, remembering Kobe for all the positiv things and honouring him by smiling and having fun, just as he know Kobe would have wanted it
I didn't UNDERSTAND your comment!.
THIS VIDEO WAS LONGGg AGOo....?

Magic laughter cures everything. That's his secret! First time I was able to smile since the news. RIP Mamba
I was thinking the exact same thing! He IS Magic!
For real tho. I Hope Magic gets to induct Kobe in to the HoF.
I think he will be able to lift people up during the ceremony while others potential Presenters might dwell and break down.
Magic is simply just that. "Magic"
So true. Majic loves to laugh. He's a breath of fresh air
MrGenexxx it really does. I’m glad this was in my recommended
I feel youuuu Brooo
This man really isn’t mourning Kobe, he is celebrating him and it shows in a really special way!
You can do both. Speaking from my own unfortunate experience.
Def doing both
Yeah because he outlived him even though he’s got aids
OrangeDiamond322 damn....
Kobe died doing what he loved.....
Hanging out with white people
“Kobe wouldn’t want me to cancel”
“That’s right!” 😭💔 Mamba Mentality
This moment right where is what every Talkshow should be about. No silly games just people talking, laughing and having a good time (especially with all the bad news lately).
Listen to podcasts..talkshows are awful these days.
Punk Dorris was bout to say the same thing
@@jd0604 they've always been awful, they've just never evolved
Punk Dorris nah it’s okay I’d rather actually be able to see who’s talking.
RIP Kobe.Yesterday my boss said "I know what youre going through.This is just like when JFK died.They were alot alike.They were both great fathers,both were highly competitive,and they both loved the ladies.Can you think of anything that can separate the two"? I said "Yes,I can".
"One drove the lane and took shots,the other was a basketball legend".😉
Watch my 2nd OPEN MIC.
Kobe won't want me to cancel it. Let's honour him by living our life and whatever we do the best way and never giving up attitude. Let's put all our effort and say "Kobe" everytime we do that.
😂😂
Giri Dharan
Well said by the Magic Man and thanks for quoting, GD👍🏾
lmao - ok you're going overboard now
Kobe helped us all inspiretoo be the best we could at something. Thank you Kobe...and thank you Joseph and Pam Bryant for blessing us with your son.
Giri Dharan yessssssss 🙏😊🤙
Magic isn’t mourning Kobe’s death. He’s celebrating his life. This is the way we all need to be.
calbassas87 exactly!!!!
well said
I agree!
Well said
Facts
Magic’s ability to turn any situation into a positive light is truly special.
emmm
for real
It's magic!
you chose the word "positive" on purpose
yeah... HIV positive
When I was young I was a huge fan of Karim Abdul-Jabbar. So you can imagine how long it has been that I have been a Lakers fan. I knew Magic Johnson during his prime. The day the news came to me about Kobe I was in a daze. I am not like an ultimate fan of Kobe don't get me wrong but the icon of Kobe for Lakers is different. I cannot imagine how his wife and kids feel. His daughter was so young. He was so young. I might not be significant to anyone but please have my heart felt condolences. It is never right to lose someone in an accident. Everyone's family on that helicopter, I hope eventually your pain will be eased.
Everyone needs to watch this, watching Magic and his laughter and stories with Kobe are beginning to heal the giant wound we all still have. Bring Jimmy on the trip magic it's time!
“He never made excuses” RIP Kobe ♥️
Skipper TheDipper That’s a motto to live by
Sadly, that also costed their lives. "Look Sir, the fog's very thick. Can we just schedule this tomorrow and just chill for the meantime?"
"Why train later when you can train now? No excuses, put all the hard work!"
😭
In light of the huge lump in everyone's throat, this interview was absolutely refreshing! Memories, Memories, and did I mention Memories.......thanks for all of 'um, KOBE
I remember the rapes
Freefall He was never charged! He was a good person and family man!
What a great human being Magic is. Always puts a smile on people's faces.
Lol
Andrew mc donnell positive human being ....jk lol love magic and long live Kobe!!!
I really love how magic just tries to bring as much joy with jimmy in this show and laughs while kobe has passed. Honestly one of the greatest segments of television i’ve seen in a while 💜💛 we all know how much pain magic is going thru and jimmy as well. Lets live with positivity, kobe would want that 🙏🏽

”It’s the one thing you can control.
You are responsible for how
People remember you -- or don't.
So don't take it lightly.”
-- Kobe Bryant
I remember Magic’s HIV press conference and I cried... I just knew his days were numbered. Never thought I’d see the day when Magic had to bury Kobe.. 😔💔🙏🏾
Yeah, I agree!
11thWoods majic hiv is a publicity stunt
Everytime I see Magic Johnson I think of the story my aunt told me. During a layover when I was an infant he said I was a really cute baby. My aunt was a flight attendant and she was returning me to my parents after she took me to give them a break and Magic was making funny faces at me for like 5 minutes straight
Wow, that's awesome!
Awww! He seems like a really nice, down to earth guy.
Is it me or does anyone else wants to give Magic Johnson a hug? He’s so brave to be on the talk show, after hearing the terrible news about Kobe. 💛💜
Chelsea Canales Its you
Nah. It's just you. Going on a talk show is not brave.
I have always felt that way about him love magic miss kobe
@@swiftslickhe just lost one of his best friends yea its preety damn brave
@@alexpaige8895 -- They weren't "Best friends" actually. Rob Pelinka and KB were considered as such and Magic addressed that... but Rob is not doing any TV appearances right now. Magic going on a talk show he's been on many times before isn't brave.
Still can't believe that it's actually fact, i'm sure everyone's in disbelief of Kobe's death, Gianna and the other 7 aboard.
Every time someone mentions kobe and death in the same sentence it's like i'm hearing it for the first time, still hard to believe.
@@dwoods6998 It'll still be shocking for the years to come, each time i think or hear about the crash it's just more and more harder to bear.
Name all the other 7 without looking it up.
*The "other 7" were human beings also like Kobe and Gigi! With names and have family that are trying to cope with grief at this tough moment.* 🙏
I've seen some stuff about Kobe's death being fake.
Kobe would want everyone to be laughing, enjoying life and sharing memories.
I'm watching this reading your comment but I still can't believe it. Still doesn't feel real.
@@nickb7119 I'm watching this 4 months later still in disbelief, may he RIP 🙏
Should I get a Kobe jersey or an MJ jersey
a thx bro I appreciate it
I never seen Magic laughs like that, that’s a sadness laugh. he needed to evacuate the choc, sadness the cries after what happened.
Magic sacrifices for us, he is laughing for us he showing the way.
Thank you Magic &
Jimmy
Yea
Magic is the rock that everyone needs in Kobe's horrible tragedy,RIP to his daughter and the other 7 victims as well
Seeing Magic constantly laugh is the best way to celebrate Kobe's legacy.
Its so great to hear Magic laugh so much throughout the entire interview. I needed to hear it.
Yeah that's right!
His laugh is infectious
it’s such an addicting laugh😂
Lauren Katz this was therapeutic!!! Thank you Magic Johnson, RIP KOBE
Never would think Magic out live Kobe.....
He got that cure
Kobe : Magic is facing certain death because of AIDS
Magic : All deaths are certain...
Guess you can call it magic
@@ohlala7536 in an interview...Someone ask Magic what does he feel knowing that he is facing certain death...Magic reply "All deaths are certain" Death is the price of living...
FUN FACT: Magic Johnson is the only player to ever win a championship and Finals MVP during his ROOKIE SEASON.
Jerry Moronta top 3 player of all time
I wouldn't rate him as the greatest, but he is in that conversation. Top 5 all time along with his teammate and 6x MVP, 6x champion and all time nba scoring leader KAJ.
@V P top 50 for real????? Top 10 at least
@V P lmao trop trolling
V P lmao u made my day bruh😂💀
Magic's laugh is the pill for all of us. RIP Kobe
Magic is the best, happy to see them positive here
Magic is such a positive person man ❤️
Yea, he’s positive alright..
OMG 😂 another cheap shot positive.ya going to he'll for that .
BugattiBiebs lmao
SAVAGEBEN lol ur terrible
That’s what touched me about Kobe: he grew into a fabulous man!
I had respect for Magic Johnson as Im 30 and missed him.
Now he has my undying respect. What a legend.
I am 28 and feel the exact same way.
Miles Bennett
He's a great guy
Man he was amazing. I was 11 years old when he announced he had HIV and I was devastated similar to how it feels now about losing Kobe because we all thought Magic was going to die soon. It was absolutely horrifying if you could imagine because back then we knew so little about HIV and it seemed to be death sentence in short order. I’m so glad he’s still with us because he’s an amazing dude outside of his amazing career.
Me too 😍
This is gonna go down in sports history how Magic and Jimmy were the first to truly celebrate Kobe after his death and put smiles on our faces for the first time since it happened. This interview will be remembered.
Oh yeah this interview made me full of joy and happiness
Jimmy's many interviews with Kobe were funny and uplifting too; some of the best on UA-cam.
You can see Magic is expressing his sadness with laughter remembering special moments with Kobe. That’s how we all should be when someone close to us passes life is about happiness death is just part of our existence.
Magic is a g. Love him. Rip Kobe
Every person who was lost in this tragedy was someone's hero.
Heartbreaking
Magic always rocking a positive attitude...respect 🙏🏼
Magic’s laugh is contagious. God bless that man. We gotta protect him at all costs
Facts
I still can't believe he's gone, this is all so surreal.
Magic's laugh and smile are contagious. Great medicine. Thank you Jimmy and Magic.
"""He Maybe Gone But He'll Never Be Forgotten"""
💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜
Your right! He'll be loved and missed forever.🏀
Who won’t be forgotten
@@nicolasramos612 Kobe Bryant
Seeing this video cheered me up a lot. Kobe’s loss have made the past couple of days really rough for me but seeing Magic grieve with the pain in a positive manner and move forward makes me wanna do the same.
He might not be the best general manger out there but he is a great person.
721mehrad nice pfp
@RcUniverseGuy People grieve differently, not sure if you ever experienced that
Seero haha thanks dude love that show
RcUniverseGuy do you really think he wasn’t upset or devastated when Kobe and his daughter died? Of course he’s sad , but his personality is always to look for something positive (no pun intended). The whole world is sad over this tragedy and its nice to have someone help us move forward.
@RcUniverseGuy He's laughing away the pain. I do the exact same thing and so do alot of others.

still can’t believe this. kobe was a different breed, man. i just want to thank him for my childhood, for showing me that turn around jumper at laker camp. for showing me that life is supposed to be lived. so much love to gigi, the bryant’s, and everyone involved in this tragedy
Boneytony222 It felt like Kobe was invincible... Still in shock from this whole tragedy 😔 He was an even better father as well and his daughter looked like she would carry on his legacy. Prayers up to everyone suffering from this tragedy 🙏
Kobe wasn't like anyone else, he was so damn unique that you wouldn't think something this tragic would happen including the death of his daughter and 7 others..... mannnnn why.
@@oza1710 I think one of the hardest parts is that I just can't believe someone invincible can be gone like that
This was beautiful to see two people laughing and enjoying memories of Kobe .. needed this today ❤️❤️
Yeah, let's talk about how he lived, not how he died.
Yes sir. You are so correct.
Because they going to cry about it. They try to avoid that cuz is heavy.
Amen
I honestly can't imagine of someone more of a happy spirit than Magic. It's insane. He has an unbreakable aura.

@@everything9466 Terry Crews is a fake Magic is the real deal don't even put them in the same category
Tell that to the lakers after he quit as a coach and GM
Curtis Blyden he’s lived through HIV.
His name is Magic.
I love Magic’s perspective of this tragic death, just celebrating Kobes life and what Kobe left behind for all of us! RIP MAMBA!❤️
This was a sweet interview. Magic is a fun guy to interview, he's charismatic and has an amazing laugh. Looks like he and Jimmy really have a great time together.
This interview seems therapeutic for Magic & Jimmy. And hearing Magic’s incredible laugh is therapeutic for me. You can feel his joy for life when he laughs & knows that’s what Kobe wants for him. This made my day ♥️
The day I found out Kobe died i reapplied to my second job. If there’s anything to take from Kobe Bryant, it’s that he had this incredible drive.
Good luck to you!
Awesome 👍 keep it up Jack. Keep going. Mamba mentality!
Good luck
Awesome! Good luck you got this!
Jack, that's awesome!
I needed this. If the city of Los Angeles had a smile it's name would be Magic Johnson. Thank you #32 💜💛
Magic's exuberance makes me feel a little better in the wake of this tragedy. Thank you Magic for being you.
Man even in this tragedy... magic is so level headed and positive.
He's positive alright lol

Leave it to magic to make people smile, just like he did back in the day.
sleazyfellow He’s just so positive all the time. What a great guy.
This is exactly what we all needed right now. Thank you Magic 🙏🏽

Yup feels weird and doesn't make sense almost

@@msingathingwenze6631 yeah and I was never a fan of Kobe basketball wise, I would always be against him in arguements etc, but I liked him as a person, he reminded me of myself and now that hes gone... it doesn't feel right I'm still confused and blank bruh
Man we needed this rn. Rest up Kobe and Gigi and the 7 others who lost their lives that day. 💔🙏🕊
This made me smile so much after crying for so long. We love you Magic.
I love how they’re laughing about memories and enjoying his life rather than getting sad that he’s gone.

oh hardy har har.
always so positive. absolutely is he positive 😂
I love how jimmy keeps bringing up Kobe’s flash backs it brings comfort ❤️😇
Seeing magic smile like he does is what we all needed.
God bless this man! His laughter makes everything better!
Magic is my GOAT..I didn't see him play but the way he speaks about other pros tells you how secured he is
His Laugh cures all. I'm so glad he decided to come out and have this interview, this made me feel better honestly.
Seeing “Magic” enlightened the joy and numb the sadness moment...at the end we have to celebrate de Legend KB❤️😌
Crazy that a guy who played basketball has touched so many people. America is in mourning. Rest in peace Kobe.
Man his laugh made me smile and forget about everything
I needed this really bad... If Magic, one of the people closest to Kobe, can smile and remember the good stuff, then I can follow suit... 🐍🙏
Magic truly is amazing. He obviously hurts a lot but is holding back and trying to raise everyone spirits and celebrate his life.
I've never met him personally, but I love Magic Johnson. His aura and energy is so positive and so pure it's something we should all aspire for.

Thank you Magic for the laugh. This was such a breath of fresh air.
Magic is filled with so much energy.
I love the fact that Magic still had fun and a laugh while remembering him
Magic's laugh is genuine! Kobe would have loved it talking all about good memories!
for a person to laugh through their pain is one of the moat difficult pains to ever master.
RIP Kobe and those aboard. Mamba Mentality Forever!
Behind that laugh, he’s still hurting but Magic is strong to express the celebration of our friend Kobe 💪🏼
It's been such a depressing few days so seeing Magic's infectious personality was awesome. He is right when he says Kobe would want us all to push forward & be great at whatever we do.
Magic's laughter is so infectious... Can't help laughing along
Kobe's death was a shock, but shocking deaths happen everyday in this world. The only thing is that they don't make the headlines. Life is short people, very short. Rip Kobe and Gianna.
That is the truth!! Thank you for saying that and May God bless you and your family.
Magic's laugh and smile is healing. God I miss him playing for the lakers and the fast breaks. He was great. Just a great human being as well as Kobe.
It's crazy, part of me feels like Kobe is going to pop up out of nowhere like "Just Kidding y'all"
Then I think about his daughter & the 7 other and realize how Ludacris that sounds...
Rest In Peace To Them All...

Stop treating celebrities like gods.
See this is what people posed to do celebrate his life that’s what we all should do don’t be sad he’s in a better place with his daughter, Ara Zobayan, John Altobelli, Keri Altobelli, Alyssa Altobelli, Christina Mauser, Sarah Chester, and her daughter Payton Chester
I think that the best thing for Kobe, wherever he is with Gigi, is to see two of his friends laughing so hard remembering the stories they all had together. He would really want to see them happy, because that’s the kind of person Kobe was.
I really love how Jimmy Kimmel builds genuine rapport with his guests. It never seems forced with him.
That was probably one of Jimmys best interviews ever, very genuine! Nice work Jimmy and Magic!
