I will continue to yell "Kobe" when I shoot the ball.... the legend will continue!!!
not in these days...
No say "For Kobe"
Continue his legacy!
a a No, FOR KOBE
@@mekhi_morris no that's wack. Its implied its for kobe now that he's passed. Just say Kobe
I surprised myself ...yesterday I was in shock...today I shed tears when I was alone, for a dude that I never knew and that had no knowledge of my existence.
Same thing, I never felt bad for some celebrity being dead, considering thousands of unlucky ppl dying each day.. but with all rationality aside I can't stop thinking about Kobe.. I guess my first childhood hero being gone is something different...
It’s all good bro if you’re a fan of the sport it hurts. I rooted against Kobe but I always acknowledged his game. I know my favorite player wouldn’t be who he is without him. He’s your favorite players favorite player this 1 is definitely tough
You’re not alone. I wasn’t even a fan. It’s tragic. His daughter and those other families losing their lives too hit me. 🥺
Idk why but I had the same feeling when I heard of Michael Jackson's death. I didn't cry as much but I was just so shocked.
I literally felt a disturbance in my heart as I’d like to call it that compelled me to check the news. When I read the headlines I dropped my phone and started crying hard. I never knew the man or cared for his sport much but he meant the whole world for a lot of my close cousins whose only comfort was found in a ball court. He was a living legend who’s star left our skies too soon
“Superman is not supposed to die... he was our Superman”
Shaq ?
phixion. Basketball wise yeah legacy wise Kobe was superman
For real!
Well i guess the helicopter failed to Kobe
He was our Mamba!!!
Spencer Dinwiddie just gained a new fan, rooting for this guy the rest of his career.. knew he was underrated but he has a passion uncanny to a lot of others!
Word.
He needs to be a Laker next year. Period!!!
@@dannycuriel6060 yea sure dude everybody need to be a laker to get lebron that ring 😂, but yea it can happen since they wsnted him and hes from LA
Facts..he's a good player as well
Bro hearing the pain in his voice had me in tears
Imagine being in that situation where your daughter is afraid and only you can do is to hug her tight, Trust me Kobe died twice today 😔
So sad
As parent this comment hit me real hard. I can never imagine that.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Santo Nilo 💔😭
The helicopter hit the mountain travelling at 290km/h in heavy fog. They never saw it coming. Probably not even the pilot
Crying watching this. Never realized how much Kobe meant to me.
dominique9898 me too
~ditto~ 😭💔😭
Super facts
crying for 2 days now..
@@igntvsk3085 same man, two days straight.... can't even stop talking about it 😢😢😢
Dinwiddie talking about how he didn’t need anyone else’s validation after Kobe said that to him is moving man
That got me
I love kobe
Akinyemi Akinwole me too
Woyal my bad cuh the reply made it seem like that
Dinwiddie's reaction was sooo real. His emotions were so genuine, it brought me to tears. Check out Caron Butler's interview on CNN, wow, it was hard to watch.
To the generation that hollered KOBE every time we threw a peace of garbage away.... don’t stop doing that
someone in my class did it yesterday and shockingly no one said anything
@Mussels Marinara you must be from the 90s
Mussels Marinara sauce whattt
CaRz 164 im with you bro
FACTS...🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿💯💯💯
I've never seen Kawhi on the verge of tears....man..
dude was literally about to burst; when he looked down he was about to cry bad
The 2019 ECF berth he wanted to cry
Remember, him and Kobe were very good friends. They trained with each other and all.
Kawhi has been changed since his dad was shot and killed in Compton alil over 10 yrs ago... he is a different man. This is tough and kobe was a mentor for EVERYONE.
Thought I was the only one who saw that. The Cyborg almost broke. Kobe is special. Everyone who feels this grief knows he is special. It's still unbelievable
“I don’t want to be the next Michael Jordan I want to be the only Kobe Bryant”-Kobe Bryant
i’m glad kobe bryant is dead but
What an evil statement...
i’m glad kobe bryant is dead but the fact that you went to several other comments just to taunt that him & his 13 daughter are dead. What has Kobe done so bad that it made you go to the extent to make a burner account just to press people’s emotions, it’s so cruel.
fake news. when did he said that?
@@i’m glad kobe bryant is dead but dude ur a horrible person shut up
KAZAZ Playz it’s the internet of course they would say it and scared asf to say it to anyone face lol it’s sad he’s insecure smh
I went to work 30 min before I learned that he died. I didn’t speak the whole shift, Cried in the staff room during my break. It broke my heart cuz Kobe helped me persevere, to be like The Black Mamba.
Not too much like the black mamba right? He didnt cry in break rooms
Donald Wilson get out of here
Lmaoo who does this bruh
Donald Wilson emotion is not a sign of weakness. Kobe impacted me that much so hearing he was dead along with his daughter broke my heart
Donald Wilson haha can’t stand trolls. I hope you find out who you really are and find true meaning to your life, rather than bringing others down
Rest in peace:
Kobe Bryant
Gianna “gigi” Bryant
Alyssa Altobelli
John Altobelli
Keri Altobelli
Christina Mauser
Payton Chester
Sarah Chester
Ara Zobayan (pilot)
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
U forgot one if your not gonna do it right stop,cause people will be hurt
So sad!❤😥
😭😭😭
Rest in peace
So sad,May their soul rest in peace.
Kobe always seemed immortal to me. I'll never be able to watch a kobe vid and feel the same. It's not sunk in yet that kobe, of all the people, kobe, is gone.
I feel the same way. It doesn't feel real
facts bro. ANYBODY in NBA history could have died but it had to be Kobe Bryant. Truly tragic man. For sure Top 2 Greatest to ever graze a court. There will be nobody like him ever again
J-Face top 10 arguably top 5. He’s a legend who won’t be forgotten but he ain’t top 2
MM02 you’re a soccer fan so i don’t think you should be worried about Basketball. Him and MJ are for sure the 2 Goats
@@nolimithd6379 he is for sure top two.
Russell said it best during Kobe's retirement "He was our Jordan". For a lot of 90's kids we knew Jordan, but we were babies and toddlers. So we couldn't truly appreciate him. At least not Bulls Jordan. We knew who he was and how great he was, but we didn't see him in his prime. But we did have Kobe. We knew how great he was. All those amazing shots, incredible handling of the ball, inspiring mentality. He was the one that we looked up to, the one inspired us to play basketball, or at least love it. He was the reason we got into basketball. He did so much for the sport. Man now I'm just sad...
Figs3 I couldn’t have said it better myself just how he would play even with broken limbs his determination his hard work he never wanted to join teams with other stars he wanted to get it out the mud
Truer words have never been spoken I was born in the 80s didn’t really get to see Jordans whole career just the 90s. I saw Kobe his whole career it’s an extremely sad day 😢
This is unfortunately for Basketball fan our moment to feel this devastating emotion. This is How music fan feels like when John Lennon was shot or Michael Jackson suddenly died, This is motor racing fan feels like when Dale earnhardt or Ayrton Senna die on the race track. How Boxing fan feels when Muhammad Ali is gone. And etc etc. When we lost an icon synonymous with their work. Sad day
82 baby here. Saw Jordan in his prime and I'll tell you this. Prime Jordan vs Prime Kobe play 10 times and it would be 5-5. Kobe Bryant was that great.
Bruh thats the truth...discribes it best.
Rest easy to kobe his daughter and the other 7 that lost their lives that day
i’m glad kobe bryant is dead but seriously? Wow. People on the internet these days
@i’m glad kobe bryant is dead but u really changed ur username just for attention a man is gone and his 13 year old daughter too idk how u can live with yourself u must have a real sad life
@@jay_2322 dont respond to him, hes a troll, they feed of your replies
@@annaladjimi
B
YoungDee he was responding to somebody named “I’m glad Kobe Bryant is dead but”
The interview with Dinwiddie was very touching.
Frederick0220 really see the admiration he had for Kobe and how much it meant to be recognised like that, heartbreaking
Yeah very made me cry
9:34
He even tried to look like Kobe a bit.. Mamba Forever
@@IsdudeMe yeah. He wasn't the closest to him like Shaq, Bron and AD were but that doesn't matter. Still touching
he was just starting life outside of basketball. Mamba mentality will forever live on. This is the most saddest I have been with a celebrity passing away. Gone way too early 🙏
Htown Rockets same bro😢
Same
Well said
He just started spending more time with his family ... there are a lot he can accomplish
I love you bro
He wasn’t my Jordan
He was Kobe Bryant
💛💜❗🐍
Facts
Bird once said if I want to win I take Kobe if I want to have fun I take LeBron. That speaks volumes to how much Kobe loved the Game and Winning
🟣🟡
Guys hes a troll, prolly a edgy keyboard warrior behind the screen who has no friends. Hes trying super hard to get attention, so let's try and avoid him.
Kobe should be the nba logo that’s how much he meant to the game
Daizhon ThaGreat ya can’t just take that away from jerry west tho, Kobe wouldn’t have wanted that either
Daizhon ThaGreat
100%. This guy gave his life to the game. He inspired the next generation and showed the basketball world how hard you need to work to get to where you want to be. This man IS basketball
Jerry West also meant a lot to the game. So did Pistol Pete, Dr J, Pete H, Wilt, Kareem, Hakeem, Isiah, Magic, Jordan, and Oscar. Pick an era and you'll find greatness. I liken Kobe's death to Roberto Clemente's. A beloved sports figure, who was taken before their time.
Sorry that’s Jordan or LEBRON
Shane Holl Jerry said he hates being to logo
Spencer had me balling. He was an All-Star in Kobe's eyes and he didn't need the fan vote for it to matter at that point.
Bawling*
@@johnwiese6760 read the room😐
@@reallybrah6641once upon a time in an enchanted Forrest…..
It’s not in this video, but when Vince says the last conversation he had with Kobe, they hugged, he said “I love you brother and I’ll see you soon”, That really choked me up. I’m still in disbelief right now.
It is in this video
He also said they'll enjoy retirement together soon..
You know t MAC is hurt bad rn
It was vince birthday also
I dont know if i will laugh or cry about him saying "ill see u soon" and u choked
I never cried so hard for someone I haven't even met yet. Rest in peace Kobe 💔
So true but he was like family to those of us who grew up watching him 😭
Cute af
Same af I'm still getting all 😢😢😢😢😢😢
When my daughter told me Tmz report, I pray it wasn't true, then she told me they were the first to reporting Michael Jackson death I was crushed, I go right to CNN 😢 😢
I feel ya same here I never even cried when my own family members passed I think it's just the tragic nature of it and the fact I grew up with him being apart of my love for Basketball and hard work and the impact that had on tons of people.
just seeing everyones eyes get watery as they express how they feel about him,.... breaks my heart.
Billy Ross why would you even joke about that?
Nataly Cedillo is
WoW Rogue that is not a way to cope tf you can’t joke about that knowing what he came from and what he is smh...
Nataly Cedillo this is absolutely tragic news if you want to see the video uncovered then you can click on my channel
Billy Ross Get help
I thought kobe was gonna be court side to all of his daughters WNBA games🤧 R.I.P KOBE
Baller Shot Caller thx 😊
😭
Life gives us detours
Its so sad His daughter was just a kid. She never got a chance to live. His poor Wife as well.
He is, it's just that the court is going to be upstairs 💜💛
I hope Kobe and his daughter are in a better place now 🙏🏽 Rest In Peace.
Finesse Kidd and other victims
@@janyia3388 what's up
Finesse Kidd When you realize now when you throw the ball and say koby if you throw it to high your just trying to pass him the ball one last time
😭😭😭 😭😭😭😭 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
TheClayArtist bro 😭😭😭😭😭
Its so crazy how we all have that memory of yelling “KOBE” when we throwing paper in the trash. Even these nba players did it is so crazy to me.
Shmikn Shmanwhich say for Kobe now
Right!
Shmikn Shmanwhich am I the only one who yells Middleton
yxngmargielaa yeah u are😂😂
Stop copy pasting comments.
"Kobe Bryant died” just doesn’t sound right, it’s not something we needed to hear this soon. I’m so sad😢
So true, it's so hard to comprehend please send him back.
I know, man.. I know.
"Gigi Bryant died" 😭😭😭 wayy to early for that sentence she had a whole life ahead of her she was going to be the best WNBA player
Me too I'm heartbroken by Kobe Bryant and his beautiful daughter Gianna it's really hard to believe that he's gone and his daughter Gianna you can't imagine not playing basketball with him anymore 😥😥😭😭😭😭
Something is not right
The fact that this is #1 on trending just shows how much support there is for the Mamba
@@flyingjlotlizard9993 shut up
ALIEN WORKSHOP One wrong act doesn’t define an entire life, just proves he wasn’t perfect. In the end he became the man he should’ve been then. It doesn’t make it ok, but you can still learn and grow from those wrongs and work to become a better person after.
Stfu
Yeah and no one talking about the 2 military people in the helicopter too 🤦♂️
@@abrahamPena3r Well, none of us really knew. We just knew about Kobe, Gianna, and the baseball coach (I don't remember if it was a baseball coach or not...)
So unbelievable never in a million years did I think Kobe would go out like that 😔😔😔
Thank you for your rivalry’s and inspiration you brought to my generation. Kobbeee!! You’ll be dearly missed.
-SPURSFAN
Exactly I thought he would be around as long his heroes are Magic, Jordan Kareem that stills livin, legends of their time
Isidro Vega you have 81 likes keep it like that for Kobe
Facts
I know
Facts
i didn’t even know how much Kobe meant to me until last night. i never cried when a celebrity passed away but with Kobe it was something else man. it hurt deep in my soul 💔
@i’m glad kobe bryant is dead why
That’s because Kobe was an actual genuine human that would do anything for his family unlike a lot of other celebrities
ididntevenknowhowmuhkobe🙏

When Kawhi is tearing up you know it's time to cry...
He wasn’t
@@real4life335 yea he was, he don’t come wit those red watery eyes like if he just smoked some weed or something every day, I didn’t know but it’s been reported Kawhi & Kobe were good friends

@@redyoshi1873he went to kobe training camp for one on one training.
Was like that Star Trek when data cried
*Throws paper in the trash*
“... kobe”
now is FOOOR KOBE!!!
It'll never be the same man
Fly high kobe ❤️
*cries*
for Kobe
Kobe was a great man, great father, and genuinely loved his children. I would bet my life during that chaotic helicopter crash he held his daughter to the very end or at least got to her hand in time
Yes they may have hug up very quickly and pray I guess for all those in the helicopter going down they were all scared but i can't imagine in that split second what was really going through they minds.
This is why we don’t rely on planes everyday. Happened to the iconic Aaliyah. To hear about same thing to Kobe is just senseless. The Captain America of the Lakers.
Nope, heard they both died alone and scared. Kobe tried to use her body as a shield before they hit the ground, but she was a fighter and got away from him.
It breaks my heart that he had to watch her go down with him. I know for a fact he held his daughter until they were both gone, that’s the kind of man he was. Rest in peace everyone on board of the helicopter.
Kidz Bop 38 is Straight FIRE!! Where did you hear this?
Can you even imagine how difficult it was for him in that moment? The moment he knew that not only his own life was about to end, but that of his daughter...a life he helped create.
Can you imagine how he felt as a father knowing he couldn't protect her?
Can you imagine him holding her, consoling her, telling her he loved her as that helicopter went down?
I can tell you, Kobe Bryant's greatest fear was realized today. And it wasn't the fear for his own life, but for that of his beautiful daughter.
rest in peace gigi and kobe :(
Festive Trackers 🙏
The helicopter went down in heavy fog. Nobody saw it coming.
What about the other 7 people who died?
@@poketuga 7?
Yes you hit it on the head I’m a father of 3 daughter one who is 12. I hurt more for Kobe and what he knew was going to happen and how hard it would have been to hug her then think about the others who would never see their dad or sister again!
All these grown men reflecting on their idol holding back tears breaks my heart. They’re trying to be strong and play the game they love. 😢 😭 I’m cryin
Kobe Bryant and his beautiful daughter Gianna was a great impacted on everyone he would slam dunk up to the basketball court he would wave and smile ☮️🦋😭😥🌟🙏❤️
Kobe was our Superman...
...Superman isn’t supposed to die😩😩
Kryptonite yeah man it sucks man truly shocked
Superman died also... Cristopher Reeve
The helicopter was his kryptonite
J-Face and what kills him is stupid and something we never expected
J-Face actually Superman died after moments of defeating Doomsday also the time he was stabbed by Kryptonite
Kobe's impact on the game will live forever
His impact on life will live forever as well🙏
Rest In Peace, Kobe Bean Bryant. From Japan.
Nah bro he’s bigger than basketball at this point ❤️
no doubt. mamba mentality is beyond basketball
Nah Kobe’s not that important he’s just a human
I literally named my son after him. Kobe's impact was beyond basketball. I feel so sorry for his wife and daughters for thier tragic losses. Kobe will forever be remembered as a true champion and warroir whom had an exceptional dedication to the game of basketball.

You anit the only one bro i was hard to sleep. Its like losing your family member. Ive been watching him since i was little. That was my mike
Me too man... I grew up loving this game & believe or not but The “Mamba Mentality” has been my mentality at everything in life Man! Die hard Bay Area Fan but growing up Kobe was My MJ.... This is so hard to accept... & I’m a dad n the dad in me is hurting so badly I just keep hugging my daughter & trynna keep my head up blood.. we all in this together y’all Long Live The Mamba
Kishawn Duncan EXACLTY my words bra Growing up he was my MJ... Keeping a Mamba Mentality in life forever !
Richard Sherman was great friends with Kobe. Hoping Niners bring back the trophy to California
I hope so we need this game go Niners
i’ll be honest when i heard spencer talk about how kobe’s validation was the only thing that mattered, i shed a tear
I didn’t know 2020 will be worst than the year 2019.
Spy from Tf2 yea this is a really bad start to the 2020s

Yeah..
Its definitely getting there

@@anthonyparker4081 naw Kawhi was hurt asf ..he even says kobe was like his basketball mentor he would spend countless summers with him working on his game
He was high
Anthony Parker broo just cause he didn't cry doesnt mean he isnt sad. Thats his mentor.
Kobe Bryant may be gone, but his spirit and his legacy will live on forever.
It certainly will but will take some healing from it to harness it!
It’s been a year. The week Kobe died was the worst week of my life. The year after was the worst year of my life.
I just wanna go back. That’s all. I just can’t stand the pain anymore. It hurts so bad. But I know that Kobe would want me to push through the pain. And I know that God wants me to as well. So that’s what I gotta do. For Kobe.
Broke out when the tears ran down Spencer's face. Couldn't hold it anymore.

Notorious 2k Fr my mom showed me on Facebook
I thought it was one of those fake post
For real! This is the first time I’ve ever truly experienced it on this level.
I sat there in near silence for the first half hour or so after I saw the ESPN notification. I just kept telling myself it wasn't happening. The night before I was watching LeBron pass him and seeing him give his respect to LeBron on Twitter, and now he's just gone. Nothing could have prepared me or anybody in the basketball world to lose him so young.
Hits home. Yesterday I kept wishing someone would say they got the wrong helicopter or something...

For real
CJ McCollum always keeps it real, I love that about him.
Spencer Dinwiddie is a real one. Keeping it real. You can tell how much he appreciated Kobe.
I think the nba needs to add a 24 patch to all jerseys for rest of season
No they should add a snake emblem
No doubt.
Clark Roberts make kobe the new logo
Clark Roberts all star jerseys 8 and 24
Just change the logo it's time.
seeing spencer tear up just tore me apart...
That was too tough....
Kobe believed in him.
HIS FACE , DRIBBLE POSTURE , SHOT SELECTION , PHYSICAL FRAME & OVERALL MENTALITY , JERSEY NUMBER ... SMH ALL KOBE HE LOOKED SOULLESS LAST NIGHT IN MSG .
Al Snow it’s very clear how much kobe meant to these players, and kobe earned every last bit of that respect
That was.... Just ridiculously heartbreaking. I felt that
Rest In Peace Kobe Bryant aka The Mamba and his daughter Gianna
Your memory lives on forever
✊✊✊
And the others in the crash.
Kobe use to call her The Mambacita. Let that sink in.

His was very touching. You know guys in the G-League's dream is to make it to the NBA, and no players grind harder, so those words kobe said to him really meant a lot
Today everyone is a Laker
I still can't believe it's real. I cry every time I see a photo of him and his daughter. He looked the happiest he's ever been. Gone far too soon we were just getting to know Kobe the man...the father. 🤧😢
seen u like 3 times
What’s the point of doing that even if you joking

Just so weird Kobe is gone now... I cant wrap my head around it.... Still a bit in denial, but its starting to sink in... :( What an unjust world, taking his 13year old daughter as well... Not fair...
(( I made a farewell video about Kobe, take a look((
it's not unjust my friend. It's hard, but it's not unjust. There is more life outside of this realm. In fact there is no death, our true selves live on until our reincarnation. He made made more impact than 99.99% do. His job was simply done.
I just refuse to accept it. I always watch his highlight todate. I just can't believe that it happened.
@@raymukhtar6806 yes it is unjust, because it's pitch black when you die
Jayden V How do you know that? Have you been there? The real ignorant think they have the answer.
My sons 12 and he says kobe when he shoots! So this legend will always live on! Crazy! He will b missed I'm just glad I got to share his legacy with my kids and keep his.memory alive.
never, ever, say curry. Kobe until our last second.
I use to say the say thing when shooting around in my yard playing basketball I was saying Kobe cause he was and is my favorite
@@josiahwise3847.! M
Man I'm so sick man didn't know Kobe but he was part of my life just feel so bad why the good ones gotta go soon
same, I'm a huge Heat fan but enjoyed so much the rivalry that the Heat - Lakers had in the mid 00's when Shaq was traded. Can't imagine how Lakers fans must feel.
If you didn’t know him how he part of your life🤔
Jesus Ausencio the legend gave the people many memories., some people were able to feel like champions with Kobe. The celebrations for laker fans back in the day were very real.
It's never soon. Someone's time is their time. It's HOW they went down that I can't understand. Nobody should have to die like that.
Jesus Ausencio He means that he didn't know Kobe on a personal level but Kobe still impacted him... It's called being a supporter/fan.
So touching by Spencer especially as a diehard laker fan and Kobe fan can’t wait to see you on court in the purple gold ❤❤❤
KOBE GIGI FOREVER
The man that inspired me to start playing the game is now gone, in a whole lot of hurt right now.
Mamba Forever 💔
Keep on playing bro. Got to keep his spirit alive. Much love
The lakers got a mission this year . They gotta win the finals for Kobe 😭💯
I NEVER liked the lakers, but I loved kobe so much that I always rooted for the lakers, ONLY because of him. Which is why, I was happy when he retired because I knew I would be able to be an open lakers hater.. But I honestly dont wanna see any other team win the chip this year, not even my fav team.. they gotta bring it home for Kobe on the same year he pass away
K5 they have to get past giannis first...he is turning into a monster now
Please!
@@G.M7 he's already a monster, what do you mean " he's becoming?" . Who's better than him atm??
Giorgos Zzzét97 I meannnn ..... he bouta be a real monster...not just a beast...he will be purely UNSTOPPABLE!!!! Kobe and him were too close
You know it’s real when kawhi expressing himself 😔
oooo9pop
He even said " know what i'm saying" properly haha
Jay Bourne and we definitely felt what he was saying 😔😔
@@nevelefilms7336 sure did, just glad Kawhi didn't break down. i would of been a mess.
Jay Bourne lmaoooo
Don’t think I’ve every shed a tear for a celebrity death. But this was another level. Growing up and watching this guy for your whole life. Hits hard
Bruh we wont see Kobe and his daughter courtside anymore 😭
Dont remind me man
One of the biggest parts of this tragedy. We were literally watching him finally sit back and enjoy the legacy he created with his daughter who was ready to continue it. Now, they'll never see it. Life is cruel and makes no sense sometimes. It's tragedies like this that put everything in perspective.
Now it’s just gonna be 2 empty seats every game in memory of them 🥺
That's how death works.
😭😭😭
I would never imagine this happening to Kobe never in a million years. Love you Kobe. Rest Easy GOAT. Also Rest In Peace to Gianna Bryant. Smh. Never imagine this ever happening.
God bless you bro
You really made a whole account hating on someone who passed away. You can’t even show some type of respect. You must have a sad life troll.
JustChrisGaming Its straight, I just reported like 3 of those comments. Not even gonna mind it.
It could have happened to anyone. Life is fragile.
Jay M13 same
We lost a legend along with his beautiful daughter l wish his family and the other people who died in the plane families eternal peace and blessings
👀
Helicopter*
Mac Attack who cares
@@quanbrooklynkid7776 what's good young King
@@deepdirt that part
officially my youth is also gone with Kobe. still can't believe it...
I was never a basketball fan. But even I knew the great things Mr. Bryant did for that sport! He was and is and will always be a legend. My prayers go out to his family!
Why does my heart feel like a million rocks are on it? I can't even process this. It's a numb feeling of grief. Prayers for everyone. This is devastating.
I feel you, it’s too hard to believe
Same feeling bro...
Same here. It hurts.
@Tyler Morales people idolize him for what he did on and off the court. He inspired a lot of people. No need to know him on a personal level to feel sadness man
@Tyler Morales okay I get you but just look man, if they want to mourn, let them mourn. No need to ridicule them. Like you said people die everyday.
Its crazy how 1 person can mean so much to millions of us
Rest easy Kobe♡
For sure! but Christ means the most..
Stay strong 💪🏾
“Heroes come and go, but legends are forever.” 🙏🏻🖤🕊
ABALLO'S WORLD so heroes are not forever then? Idk about this comment
That whole quote is a programming that you got brainwashed with haha.
I like to think that heroes and legends are the same thing
@@austinpost9154 anyone can be a hero- anyone can have a heroic moment or come to the rescue and save the day. But a LEGEND is someone who is a hero to millions of people, year over year. That’s the difference to me.
I can't even sleep tonight...Heart feels so heavy...R.I.P Kobe,GiGi,and everyone else who died in that crash😢😢😢
I'm joining your boat brother it's just to hard to sleep, and when I do close my eyes all I think is of Kobe leaving with his daughter up to the heavens. This this is just so painful to withstand. 😭
@@hectorpac1470 Man...it's unreal
Been tossing and turning all night and I keep opening my phone just to watch more Kobe 😭😭
@@Shawnpimpin601
Now he is with chick hearn, Jerry Buss, wilt Chamberlain, David stern and they are trying to create a team as her daughter is the point guard.
💯💯
Leonard was working with him during offseasons Kobe has huge impact on his game taught him alot
No he did not. Leonard when he is a spur admit he did not work out with kobe. He thought of doing so but he fucked the spurs after that statement
lokoako chan he worked with him after he left the spurs. After his New Balance deal.
lokoako chan what are you talking about?
@@masterofuploader4 dude, there are footage of him attending kobe's camp on youtube.
@@masterofuploader4 lmaooo
*Then: Throws paper*
*"Kobe!"*
*Now: Throws paper*
*"For Kobe!*
Love this comment.
Love the comment and I was ur 100th like
day morning in Calabasas, killing Kobe Bryant, his daughter and seven others on board, had the feel of a limousine and a strong safety record, said the basketball star’
This adds so much more pressure..... mamba mentality.
"KOBE!... That's for you!" 🙏🙏💔
Gianna came into this world comforted by her dad and she died being comforted by her dad...may everyone's soul aboard that flight rest peacefully in heaven💖🙏🏾
I always imagine them bringing kobe and shaq back on set when they old asf the way they did with mj rodman and scottie to tell us throw back plays.
😔😔
This hurts
im sure shaq was looking forward to that scene would happen sumday.
Dont make me cry again bruh!@! I legit thought the same!!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
they do have a video of kobe and shaq after they both retired talking like a year or two ago.
I can’t even believe he died. I just close my eyes and open it again if it is a dream.
I still don't
rightr
We honestly don't know if Kobe is dead. A number of media tragedies are hoaxes. (Lisa Lopes is not dead, for example.)
@Tyler Morales no one would care if you do
Whole day felt surreal I thought I actually was dreaming
I have a feeling this is going to light a fire in the NBA like we've never seen before. Just imagine Giannis and Lebron the rest of this season playing in Kobe's honor
Super Mega Foxy Awesome Hot. Yes imagine LeBron or Giannis winning in the finals saying KOBE this is for You!!!!
Don't forget kawhi and Paul George and everybody who looked up to Kobe as their idol.
Harden is gonna drop 82 sometime this season to honor Kobe, mark my words. Come back to this comment when he does. KB24 forever.
Bruh giannis disabled his IG... he’s going to destroy everybody
@@AMooseH if not him someone is going to break it. No doubt about it!
"HEROES COME AND GO,
BUT LEGENDS ARE FOREVER.-Kobe Bryant😔🙏🏽❤️
Respect to Spencer for showing his emotions openly, we are all torn up I wish this was fake or a bad dream...still can’t believe it. We lost a legend, we’ll never see another like him again.
When LeBron won title from Cleveland he said "Cleveland this is for you"
If he will win in Lakers" Kobe this is for you"
Jerard Genela really want the Lakers to win it all now
I can picture it.
I never root for lbj but at this point I wouldn't mind seeing them win a chip this year to honor my boy rest easy Kobe.
@@stephon4112 Since i believe lebron has run out of time to surpass jordan i'm rooting every bit for that 4th chip
@@jh_burton me too
Thank god for everyday that you wake up. Life is so fragile.
Bruh Dinwiddie’s interview was heartbreaking
He’s a Valley guy. Hits hard in the hometown
Kobe was more then an athlete. I'm gonna miss him I still cant believe it. LA will never be the same without its King.
He will be the king forever❤
Upcoming HOF will be the saddest one fr.
Lbj is LA's king
Ricardo Masvidal . It really wont
Kobe wouldn't appreciate being called the king of LA, he was much too modest. However, this is definitely the most tragic incident in North American sports in half a century.
The fact that kawhi was close to tears got me so much
9:34 real man, real tears.
Over A Glass Or Two just made me cry
What's his name
@@خلال-م8د Spencer Dinwiddie
Walter Clements Spencer Dinwiddie
Still in shock praying for everyone we lost 😭🙏🏽🕊🙌🏽
“Super man not supposed to die”
Wow, that struck a chord with me.
😭😭😭😭😭
Dwight is still alive... Just kiddin I know kobe won't be happy knowing yall are depressed right now cause of him. Cheer up people for kobe! Peace
Chino Jap don’t disrespect Shaq. I hate Dwight sm for stealing his nick name
