“She’s a monster, she’s a beast. She’s got it” those words are engraved in me forever
You'll forget in about a week. As your weak mind gets fed some other story
buttgoo magoo heck no this personally to me has been like when we lost JFK Jr, or Selena for us in Texas, it’s really shaken me up during those times and I still remember about those days and I know this death will forever have a hole in my heart too.
My heart is broken still and everytime i see their faces specially the girl i cant help my tears falling..
@@buttgoomagoo6919 + What an Idiot you are.
@@buttgoomagoo6919 + Idiot....
This probably one of the best Kobe stories I ever heard.
Tiger Hoods what it due
It was I'm still trying to hold it together
Got the kobe doll they came in pieces!
we lost a great one. he was a great family man too. i admire him for that. John salley famously tells the story when he worked for a few days to get Kobe to come out to a club in miami. Kobe never went out. he finally does go out with sallery and the women immediately flock to Kobe. 5 minutes later he said he was going back to the hotel to get some sleep because he had to train in the morning.
TOM CRUZ who hurt you?
He was a man of conviction. What kills me the most is Gigi, such a young girl, her life was cut tremendously short.
@Victoria ~ but if they had a moment of fear knowing what was about to happen, she had her dad with her. That probably made her think they were going to be okay.
@@coinshooter7357 yo for real.these ppl r ridiculous
She is with her dad in heaven now...or Valhala which ever is the real thing😪
Victoria don’t forget the family who lost a dad a mom and a daughter could u imagine being a kid and see your family gone...
peter griffin sick
"But that middle one, that middle one was a monster SHE'S A BEAST!" Aww man Smmfh crying hearing that part smmfh
I'm still cryin‘
"Girls are the best" I cry.
Only saying that cuz he has girls 🤣..come on man
peter griffin that’s not even true your an idiot
@@ctjayna STFU
@@losheroes6076 Don't need your opinion, stfu man.
peter griffin as a mother of a girl and a boy that's right i'm gonna say it "girls are the best"
I come back to this quite often 😭😭
Gigi man 😭 I know all Kobe’s kids will now carry his legacy but Gigi was the one that was supposed to rebirth the WNBA
Brian Ofori She seemed ready to do it too and with Kobe as her mentor they would’ve dominated.
she was the chosen one for the WNBA
Zenigundam sounds like your masculinity is really really fragile. Might wanna look into that
Brian, yes and that’s why this hurts, he had his girls for a reason, I am speechless
@@RobbieStacks90 You're Not A Real Man.
Real Men Don't Troll Legacies like Kobe while trying to prove they are Masculine Males, so STFU !
I finally got my boy... but almost 8 years of having only girls I could say being a "Girl Dad" is everything. Kobe knew wassup 💔🥺😭
Good for you🥺❤️
OMG, that was such a beautiful thing to say!!! As a young lady, we desperately need our Dads!! Shout out to all the Girl Dads, who love their lil princesses(despite the age)! Just wanna let my Dad know that I love and appreciate all the love and sacrifices he endured to raise me and my siblings to be Proud , Black and Strong!!!
all these kobe stories coming out these past few days... we lost much more than just a basketball player
The United States also engages in personality worship
His family massacred
Zenigundam .. You Clearly not a dad .... I have one daughter ... When my gf was pregnant I imagined having a boy would. Be easier .. Because he falls,down and I think ya he is a man now !! But I had a daughter.. An when she falls down it hurts my heart .. And she,melts my heart with every thing she,does .....I AM A GIRL DAD. .. And wouldn't have it any other way.....,I don't need a boy to Be an alpba,.. Ive,BEEN,an alpha male since the day I was born..,and dont need a son to,do,it...
@@ziwang2057 yes true that too many Americans worship mere mortals the idle worship. God is against idol worship that's why Jesus Christ went through what he went through to bring us in an intimate relationship with God.
Jesus Christ is the only one that defeated death and who is the way of having eternal life
Zenigundam not everyone is as insecure as you I guess
I have already cried a lot...this stories coming out are now getting just too much to handle...
Same here, it definitely stings alot
On Monday I had to cry for five minutes because I couldn’t grieve properly on Sunday.
The fact that she had only met him once..... Shows who Kobe was as a human being.
I met him once with Gigi. One year before the crash at a yogurt shop. I’m not just saying this; I’ve met celebrities he was beyond hands down the nicest most engaging athlete or celebrity I’ve ever met. There is a reason so many of his peers are gutted.
everyone is sharing their story of kobe, but this one was the most unique.
You should watch the interview were randy moss talks about Kobe. It hit me hard, also the one with colin Howard
One of the best, heartfelt tributes ever. Still hurts 4 years later 😭
She couldn't even hold it together
We’re all in so much pain. It’s completely understandable
This is so pain 😢
😪
I think she did. When I choke up I literally can't talk.
It was so beautiful and sad at the same time..
Watching these different videos, hearing stories, listening his interviews, you could see how proud and happy he was being a girl dad..
I dont have kids yet at age of 34 but can understand him a bit since always had a feeling i wanna have a baby girl.. Dont know why..
And then this is so sad because you start to realize..
Kobe will never again see his girls, never again will have a chance to see them grow..
Oh man..
And he was just getting started..
My Gosh, such a tragedy..
Life is so unfair.
So so so sad.
I held it together till just about the 1:12 mark. This reporter made this even more emotional, she really touch my heart, you hear the pain in her voice that we all are feeling. Not for a basketball player, but a young father dieing with his baby girl. Thoughts and prayers to all of those affected by this tragic situation.
He was gonna devote the rest of his life to sharing his wisdom with others, especially young female athletes. Gigi and Kobe were about to elevate women's basketball.
The Elle Duncan clip has me in tears every time
Every.Single.Time
Kobe is one of those immortal figures that you dont think can die. Reason I play and watch ball. Rest in paradise until we get up there
OK
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@AmirMcClain u said cant die.. he ain't no more special then me and you..
los heroes he’s more special than you’ll ever be
Heaven just gained 9 beautiful angels.
Kobe and Gigi, we will miss you and please shine down upon us from time to time. We love you
Prime Gamer did it ?
Prime Gamer not everyone goes to heaven it doesn’t work that easy.
Tears, man. This video is beautiful and powerful.
Ricksson Nilson beautiful
Bix nood. Shieet!
"girls are amazing" ❤ Thank you Kobe. We miss and love you
Out of all the tributes I’ve seen, this one genuinely broke my heart and made me cry .
Yess I can't watch without crying
Oooh Lord, Kobe was more than just an NBA. He spoke to people's hearts..he was a missionary
Sooooooo true he really was.... sometimes he doesn’t even seem real ya know? Like he’s just a myth... he’s got that much conviction...
"I'm a girl dad!" 😢 So heartwrenching.
Man, every time I think I'm over his death, I come across clips like this and hear someone talk about how much he meant and I get tears in my eyes again. I cannot imagine what his wife must be going through
Theres no way to get over it. The pain just becomes less over time
Forever a girl dad. A legend girl dad.
Kobe has grown men balling there eyes out REST EASY
I just finished crying, but when I saw this video I started crying again😭
The first time I saw this video and she said "Kobe died doing the thing he loved the most." i thought she was going to say "basketball" but she said "being a Dad, being a girl Dad" this was my favorite tribute to Kobe!! it still hurts just as much as the day he passed away but its so comforting to see videos like this
This broke me. I’m a proud girl dad and can’t be prouder of my girls. Man, oh, man.
I've heard and saw many videos pictures of this sad moment but this video definitely broke my heart because i am a "girl dad" and i do anything for my daughter so hearing this broke me.
I got 2 boys, and like Kobe I’ve been wanting a baby girl to be a “girl-dad”, but we never regret having our 2 gifts... they are our precious blessings from up above. Their arrival gave more meaning to live life even though our generation is getting rougher and rougher... life is our freedom, freedom that we can never stretch long enough. Let’s spend more time with our love ones... Thanks Kobe! 🏀
This is one of my favorites about Kobe.
This one got me. Good story
Benny_Blanco 😢
Huge lifelong Kobe fan. I have watched hours of coverage/reactions to his tragic death. This is by far the most moving thing I have heard.
Wow. Being able to stand in the face of that pain and tell that story the way it deserves to be told is one of the best examples I've seen of human communication and makes me respect Elle as a reporter and as a person 100x more. That was total, absolute power and strength.
On and off the court, Kobe was simply the best. Rest in peace Mamba and Gigi 💜💛
This broke me down all the way in Oklahoma City we love u Kobe Bean and GiGi may u plz rest in peace u will never be forgotten
I have 3 girls and I am sooo proud of each of them 😊
Kobe hi 5 ✋ girls are the best!!
You are alive among us all 🙏
It's Kobe
Benjamin Tanuwira 😘😘😘😘😘
I’ve watched this video probably 5+ times... every single time I become a blubbering mess.
Kobe and Gigi forever
"Being a dad. A girl dad" *cries *
Everyday it hurt, it hurt for reason because Kobe. Most sport player still lose focus, and emotions. Everyday I have my thoughts, but I still lost my words. Kobe and his daughter Gigi will rest well.
I cry every time I watch these
Sitting here one year later absolutely crying my eyes out. Still hurts as bad as it did a year ago.
I've been crying over this man and his daughter since 26.1.2020 . I need to stop watching these videos but I can't stop 😭
This year is starting off very bad I’m so sad my love & prayers goes out to the Bryant family , loved ones and fans
We have to love each other , rest in peace
Seeing Diana Taurasi cry got me. She’s known as pretty tough so you know Kobe really meant a lot to her.
She’s from the LA area. Basketball fans from here idolize Kobe. His murals are everywhere
I am South African, I did not know the man, but the beautiful stories about him bring me to tears..
Everyone go tell your family you love them, we might not have tomorrow :(
Well i dont have a dad and my Sister died of cancer so
Been doing that doesnt take a basketball players death to go run and do that 🤣🤣
My father died 2 months ago and didn't find out until two weeks after he passed. Didn't even want me or my sister at his funeral. Can't do that all the time
I watch sportscenter every day. I am happy everytime that Elle is on! She is one of the best of all time! The Kobe tragedy was painful to me and my son, and I feel so sad for his family.
Evertime i watched tears falling down i cant able to control. 4days now still i cant stop crying.
Wow. One year and this one still always kills me.
long live kobe. 🫡
I've seen this video like 4 times, and I still feel as if I'm going to cry 😩
Men....❤️Tears just tears in my eyes... how this reporter tells this beautifull story about kobe and his daughter
Kobe man!...i cry tonight cause the stories that are coming out about you being an amazing father are touching and beautiful. I wasnt a fan of your basketball game...but man! I love how you loved your kids...and for that, you are a legend! We will miss a great human walking this earth..flaws and all...you will forever be in my heart.
January 3, 2021 today.. watching this with tears in my eyes..pain in my heart..as if the tragedy only happened yesterday..😔😔😔 I'll never get over this 💔💔💔 so painful..so heartbreaking..just too much 😔😔😔
not sure what made want to watch this 2day, but even over a year later, cant watch the story without tearing up
This breaks me every time I watch this
I've watched alot of athletes and analyst discuss thier Kobe stories but this one made me shed some tears. Anyone that knows me knows how much of a fan i was of Kobe Bean Bryant. No celebrity death has hit me this hard
I've 2 gorgeous girls also, this hits double hard, the way he looked at his daughter is how I look at my girls, love you Kobe 🙏🙏
Thank you for this powerful tribute about Kobe. Some fathers, specially the athletes, always want a boy for their legacy to continue. Kobe being proud to being a girl dad says a lot how good of a father Kobe was.
Long live Mamba.
Legend forlife
I’m just here to cry again beautiful story
Literally cried watching this. 😭😭😭 Kobe is a superhero dad
He loved basketball. And he was so loved and gifted (multi-talented). And most importantly he loved his wife and children. It is a tragic loss. My prayers go out to his family and the families of all those who were on that helicopter.
Kobe! i will miss this guy... Been watching him since i was a child that i made him a tribute video made me cry and cant concentrate making it. My childhood basketball hero.... Thanks kobe for making my childhood awesome
I've watch this a million times it's the best story by far I cry every time
Best story. Jimmy fallon. By far
Diana Taurasi’s interview was literally the most emotional one!
Elle touched my heart with her story. 💓
Beautiful memory, thank you for sharing this story..Aww Gigi 😭 We love you Kobe:(
We Miss and Love you KOBE&GiGi 4ever I will never get over this it will stick with me for life
It’s 2022 and Im still sobbing watching this video 🥺
This is so beautiful ✨🙏🏾
When she starts talking about the way Kobe describes Gigi and she has that force behind her voice cause she know she gonna cry… makes me cry every time
It’s been a week and it hasn’t sunk in. I’m in tears rewatching this. I hope Kobe and Gianna are up in heaven shooting hoops together and watching over their family. 💜💛🙏🏼
Oh man I cant stop the tears 🥺😢
It will 2 years in January. In Los Angeles people still mourn Kobe. Whenever I rock my Kobe gear I get a finger point with a nod, chest pound with tears, or they point out their own Kobe gear and they get a point with nod back. Los Angeles favorite son. No one represented Los Angeles better. Glitz and glamour of Hollywood but mamba mentality was the definition of the hard working blue collar side that makes up most of Los Angeles. Diana Taurasi reacted the way all of us Angelenos should and did. Childhood hero, adult role model, Los Angeles icon. Mamba Forever.
I did NOT expect to get hit in the feels like THAT. WHEW! I’m cringing a girl into this world soon. I’m so excited and scared.
This will forever make me cry
Gianna was so young she didn't have as much time in her life to reach the goal of basketball i know she was gonna a chomplash. Rest in peace Gianna and Kobe we love you guys❤
Really shouldnt have watched this at a bus stop god damm it...everyone out here looking at me crying wondering what's going on.
Johann it sucks, it really sucks that Kobe’s gone, but don’t use the Lord’s name in vain man!
+Johann Lol. Thanks for the laugh man. Just shows to me you have a good heart. No need to feel any type of way about that. Much love bro.
It's okay man . I went to the gym on Sunday the day he died. I cried through the whole workout
Live your life bro. A good cry can never be a crime. I’ll say that this from Elle Duncan, what Ice Cube was saying about looking up to a cat younger than him and Draymond telling reporters that he didn’t want to talk ABOUT Kobe, he’d rather talk WITH Kobe probably got me the most
You know if the world learned to show it's emotions more it be better place, don't feel bad, I be at work and watch these tribute videos of Kobe and it was a month ago but still tear up and people walk by me wondering whats wrong and I wipe my face quickly but my mom holds my hand and say it's nothing wrong with showing a little emotions from time to time if you hold it in to much it builds anger, be free let it out, the Lord intended for us to cry, he bottles are tears up even the toughest cry if they say they don't I really would consider distancing from them
I think all of people alive today are the dead one and the dead people is the one who are really alive
*I LOVE YOU KOBE MY CHILDHOOD HERO*
Elle i will forever love you for this monologue. seeing how emotional you got on this about Kobe & his daughter. I fell in love with you right when i saw this. Keep doing your thing. Love you always & forever!!!!!
For me this was the most memorable take anyone had on Kobe’s death. He seemed like a great dad. I’d like to have a family like he did some day.
This one hurt, Rest in Paradise Kobe, GiGi n everyone who passed away in that tragic accident 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
My condolences to everyone that was involved in that accident. In my mind, The toughest part of this tragedy is the kids that passed.
My first NIECE was born last month. Girls are blessing. My Niece is a blessing. That is what Kobe helped me realize. Rest I peace Queen GiGi and King Kobe.
That middle one that middle one was a monster she's a beast gets me every time
I'm supposed to be working and doing stuff today to be productive. But how can I. Another day and moment I miss Kobe. He's the reason I started watching NBA. Man what a human being. Thank you and God bless your family
my eyes start watering every time I listen to that story from the lady on sports Center
Got me in the feels.
Love you, Elle. Thank you for sharing. Rest In Peace Kobe, GiGi, and the 7 other beautiful souls that we lost. You all went too soon.
Cant help but tearing up, love you kobe, rest easy....your watch has ended
To this day it’s impossible to hold back tears
Seeing all these remembrance pics of him today has been the hardest.💔
Rest in peace Kobe and Gigi
😥im still cant hold on my tears..
Wow. That's the hardest thing I've listened to, through this entire thing. That really hurts. It's a beautiful anecdote, but it kills me.
