😭 I can’t everytime I see people crying about Kobe I start to tear up its crazy I didn’t even know the man personally
Silvanus Clarke yeah it’s been tough I think everybody feels like that. I believe this the biggest lost of our generation.
My heart goes out to Vanessa Bryant and their four daughters. This is the most shocking sports death of our generation. 😥🙏🏿
Silvanus Clarke we are all human, we share same emotions doesn’t matter what background we’re from.
Silvanus Clarke and that is ok brotha. When you here about this mans life and the things he was doing that the media doesn’t talk about it let’s you know he was a genuine person. I don’t have to know good people to feel like I “know” good people. It’s something that’s there and you can appreciate.
Bro, not you are alone. right now I'm trying to block everything Kobe I tired 😪 tear up now. this one is too sad and I don't know the guy.
WE STILL CRYING....THE WORLD LOVES U KOBE
@Richard Valdez you also irrelvent so...
@Richard Valdez That's cause you suck lol
Koby Bryant, you are the world to us all
I just started tearing up to man
Facts
Kobe is actually one if not the greatest because the mindset
DeWayne Phillips stop comparing the two. What does Lebron have to do with this ?
AMEN!!!!
Thats what sets him and Kareem a part. Their intelligence.
And an incredible work ethic
@DeWayne Phillips yeah dude what does LeBron or Michael have to do with any of this, Michael's mindset I suck at baseball, I'm going to crawl back to Pippen the Bulls, I'm the greatest, but I cannot win the Washington Wizards a championship, cuz I cannot win without Scottie Pippen, why don't you just shut up and stay off of Kobe Bryant's videos, somebody's always got to bring up Michael Jordan, quit being a loser like him and shut up
I’m still struggling with this. Watching Randy break down brings it all flooding back again. The sadness, the feeling of loss, the hurt for his family, all of it. I met Kobe, both my wife and I 14 years ago. He was the ambassador of cool and treated us like we were old friends. He signed nine autographs for us and then let us call a friend of ours for him to say hello to. I cant even begin to tell you what a great guy he was. Miss him terribly...
I feel so horrible for you because I never met him and it still hurts and it's July. Hopefully by now the sun is shining down over you because it is over here but I still have my cloudy days like this one when I just think about him.
Wow, 😯, that's amazing, Middle America.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobe_Bryant_sexual_assault_case
Yeah I’m still not over this. Back to crying.
Became a Kobe fan when Jordan retired. I went from copying Jordans moves to copying Kobes moves. I became White Kobe. A huge reason why i miss him.
I'm right there with you bro.
So very😢🙏😢sad & My Prayers to this Awesome Legend's Family💜💛🏀🏀KOBE & GIGI🏀🏀Prayers for The Other Families Are Lifted Up🌷🙏🌷
Hopefully you're doing better since your last post. If not I understand because it still hurts.
It still doesn't feel real
Kobe and Moss are my two favorite athletes. Real recognize real. He spoke from the heart. This means a lot to me. I cried with Randy. Mamba forever!!! 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
me too raised the volume asap when he spoke i knew he was going to say it i was jst waiting on someone to bring it up but kobe was taken for granted this me talkn now but 5 championships was hard af he inspired all of us if you want to succeed u have to be willing to change your work ethic thank u kobe !! kobe is the greatest player ever to me dying opened my eyes we put him 7th all time hes 2nd to jordan idc what anybody says its jordan kobe then lebron we dont mind being right behind kobe no problem !!
Same
MAMBA FOREVER!!!!
I wish KG would say something but I don’t blame him for staying quiet.. shits complicated
Same here bro thank u 💯❤️💯
I still can't get over it seriously.
Chris Yu I cant either. I feel like I’m alone on that but thanks to his UA-cam vids, tributes, and comments sections I know I’m not the only one feeling this way.
Troy Foss you’re not alone man.. I’m a lifelong warriors fan in San Jose who can’t get over this. The man was such an inspiration in all aspects of life
thats ok! He was the closest thing to MJ. He was basically our MJ. I come here to tell you Kobe would want you to get over it and get some mamba mentality for yourself and live your life to the best of your ability. We all saw him doing it, certainly he would want it for us fans. Stay strong mane
1978 - 2020......... it hurts seeing that. It makes it more real.
Truth!!! I cry every morning
Randy Moss making me cry at work!😭😭😭
I too have never hurt so much by losing a stranger.
Exactly I never met Kobe Bryant but when I first heard about his death my life stopped!
Zenigundam you feel better ?
Ariez probs a bron fan 😂
Ariez he won’t be remembered? Lmao might not from you but from the whole world he is
When u a basketball lover and something bad happens it hurts and it's many fans whose hurting more sometimes what a great man when he was playing you know like mj it was showtime a reason to watch the game
John Estrada facts 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Moss always been and always will be a real one. Respect from one goat to another🙌🏿🙏🏿
Randy is a true man with a real heart ! God bless you sir. “Mamba forever” as you say and yet I didn’t even follow the game or the greatest basketball player Mr Bryant , but his passing has touched my soul! Gigi and Kobe Rest In Peace!
Randy Is A Beast In NFL Street And NFL Street 2 Moss Could Catch Anything
Why do I do this to myself? I know its been months since he passed, but every Kobe tribute video, highlight video, memorial video...... ALL OF IT leaves me a crying mess.
i miss my everything KB
It's been over two years and I'm still tearful. Can't even imagine what his family is feeling seeing these clips 😢
It pushes you to be a better person.
It's been a week since the helicopter crash. Toughest week for lots of people.
I still can't get over it
TheControl124 the crash happened right next to my old middle school, all still feels unreal that we lost so many people so tragically and so suddenly.
What really fucked me up is when I was 6 kobe was there, when I was 14 kobe was there, when I was 22 he was there....Now hes just not there. Last few days I was worried about the Coronavirus but I realized that only cause I expect to survive the next 6 months anyway. Even if you make a great life for yourself and have everything going for you, you arnt really in control and Kobe was at terms with accepting death which is something that FUCKS ME UP
I pass the crash site every time I go to work. It’s really tough.
@Richard Valdez cool tell us more
Randy moss man. You got me in tears again
Cried all over again😭 thanks Moss beautifully said. Rest up all 9💜💛
You're truly a legend when people say your name when throwing away trash like taking a jumper. Kobe was the man.
I'm in Chicago. In a restaurant. Micheal Jordan fans everywhere in here. MJ pictures on the wall. The TV is turned up. We ALL are crying. Rest in peace Kobe
Cause Mike respected him. Kobe was paying homage to the man and he did it right. That’s why Mike was emotional as he was at the memorial
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobe_Bryant_sexual_assault_case
@@PeteFuryhey man everything okay with you..?
@@CustomizedUsernameso true mike saw himself in kobe
THANX FOR THAT RANDY MOSS.
I'VE KNOWN IT IN MY HEART THAT KOBE BEAN BRYANT IS AND WAS THE GREATEST BASKETBALL PLAYER FOR SURE. TO HAVE AFFECTED THE WORLD LIKE THIS.....THA GOAT
Dude I respect that, bit we all know kobe is great, but over Jordan nah. But this is kobes moment.
Nah bruh Jordan is the GREATEST
Kobe is THE GREATEST to me too. My favorite player.
Kobe did it with more ease and grace against more athletic and skillfull players. Kobe can go it alone and still will his team to victory. Remember the multiple iconic games against Toronto, New York, Dallas and the game winner against LeBron's Cleveland in '06 I think. Kobe definitely was the most revered and feared player in the league ever. He was the most unstoppable offensive juggernaut the world had ever seen. La Mamba Negra was a killer in offense and struck deadlier in defense. Kobe reigned supreme in the most skilled and athletic era in the Nba. He took all challengers and never for once took a back seat. He was transcendent. He was legendary. He was the ultimate competitor and the Greatest player of all time!
Darwin Landicho I agree with you and G C. Love both players. It’s just I am born into the Kobe era, loved Kobe watching him live since I was a kid. I was not born into the MJ era
Everyone will remember exactly where they were, when they heard that Kobe Bryant had passed. The world stood still for #24.
Justin Verity what’s strange is I was on my rooftop trying to view downtown but it was covered in fog early Sunday morning . Then I get a call about Kobe ..
Woke up. 7am in Australia. Just shocked and thought hopefully bs. Not to me. I cried. Normally when famous people die I don’t really care but different with Kobe.
Literally!! Man if someone told me a athlete was about to pass I would've never guessed it was going to be kobe.. he was like a super hero u think people like that never die
In L.A. at ups for me.
I was at church couldn't believe it
Still feels not real. I'm waiting to wake up from this horrible dream. Every day I wake up it's the first thing I think of...hoping it didn't happen
Same man same.... I’ve honestly been rollin all over the place at night thinkin about it..: just can’t get it out of my head
literally bro
Facts
CJ Payne you need help bro
CJ Payne Same
even Randy crying. we all love Kobe so much
Randy and Kobe are literally b my super heroes
Moss is the GOAT 😭
Nba ain't been the same since Kobe tore his Achilles. I rarely watch like that any more. Kobe will be missed!!! 😢😢😢😢
With kobe gone the NBA feels like it's dead too....nothing about the game is the same.
NBA ain't been the same since they stopped playing defense for 3 quarters.
Yup. When Kobe left that was it for me.
From Kobe left I left straight up
After 2010 I was done with basketball
Kobe will forever be my “Jordan” I cry, still, every time I reminisce about Kobe! Lakers 4 Life! Thank you Kobe for showing us how to get IT done and giving us so many great memories!
Ron Figg Kobe is kinda bigger than Jordan now imo, he is like Bruce Lee of this generation now. Where Michael was a great ball player Kobe is now seen as much more.
J Smith I grew up in the Jordan era...slow your horses. I know his death was recent and everyone is being prisoners of the moment...but nothing was bigger than MJ.
@@melijahcopeland4101 yessss by far.
@@elitecasting5391 I think he meant putting together a basketball career plus the philanthropist things he did while playing basketball and after whether it's visiting somebody with cancer or is helping the less fortunate weather is helping kids through basketball and what he's done for women in sports and in life also the tons and tons of foundations that he himself works on in that is a part of how his career catapulted into a different stratosphere then most other folks
Elite Casting I grew up in the Jordan era as well. Mike Tyson was arguably a bigger draw during the 80s. 90s I will give you that one. Secondly MJ didn’t die in the prime of his life. Lastly MJ just played basketball. There was no other substance to his being other than his profession.
My favorite NFL player growing up talking about my idol like this...heart breaking
I cant watch anything about Kobe without my eyes keep tearing up 😢
Kobe is gone but his spirit lives on. Man, Myth, and Legend.
AMEN, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobe_Bryant_sexual_assault_case
Remember Kobe Bryant 1978-2020 best nba player every
Desmond Hackney def as an entertainer maybe even #2
Truth hurts Souls one can make a case for Duncan over Kobe believe it or not, it's just that Kobe was 100× more entertaining
Randy Moss is such an amazing person
rest in love mamba, mambacita and the families we lost that day, 4 years later a week before his birthday im here tearing up remembering my GOAT
When you think of Kobe think willpower, determination, preparation and a unwillingness to !!!. Rest In Paradise KOBE.
LAKERS 4 LIFE!
Kobe was even greater off the court
No he wasn't. That minimizes hi as the goat on the court!! He was the best bball player ever..be didn't have enough years off the floor to be the goat
@@myflyonthewall48 he is the greatest whatever he did, don't be jealous,
@@myflyonthewall48 He's not the GOAT
Man this is still hard to accept.
Iam still hurt rest up mamba and Gigi and all the other’s who lost their life 😔
Rest in peace, Kobe Bryant, and Gianna. We will see you again someday.
Randy Moss put into words how I feel exactly...Kobe to me was the greatest basketball player ever. Mamba forever!
Kobe was one of the last great players that TRULY had the heart of a champion and who wanted to win more than anything.. He didn't go hopping to the next super team when times got tough and his team had bad seasons.. When he lost he came back more determined and more focused than ever.. Kobe was not only the fiercest competitor to possibly ever play the game of basketball,he was also loyal to his franchise who took the chance on him,invested and who believed in him.. To me that makes him top 3 of all time! I'll say the other players in recent memory who had that competitive spirit and loyalty were Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Dirk Nowintski. It's sad but I don't think they make players like Kobe Bean Bryant anymore.. Rest easy Mamba thanks for the memories and epic battles you've allowed me to witness!
☄💜☄💛☄💜☄💛☄
- Spurs fan
According to his mentor Jerry west he stopped kobe from going to the clippers
@WeekndAtBernieZ He didn't say any names and the fact is the lakers were a joke at the time he wanted to leave. Not like now when a player has a 55+ win team and go join up. This is what he meant. This is about giving respect to someone who has earned it through devotion to the game we love not looking down on other. 👍🏾.
Well said..
@WeekndAtBernieZ LeBron maybe the worst example of loyalty I've seen and he does nothing but create and join super teams.. Try another example for God's sake lol!
WeekndAtBernieZ hahaha bron fan, what an embarrassment
Randy Moss is the greatest Wide Receiver all of time to my generation. Much respect
@Erich Von Manstein Rice is the greatest food of all time
@Erich Von Manstein TO was trash
Randy Moss is the best since Jerry Rice
Randy Moss is the greatest wide receiver to ever grace the football field. GREAT NAME TOO.
@Mr. POPO moss and kobe 2 of the greatest but Jordan and rice are the greatest
Randy Moss spoke the real! Finally someone on TV did it.
Im not scared to say it either... KOBE THE GREATEST BASKETBALL PLAYER EVER..... Kobe the GOAT
Frfr💯💛💜
Facts he’s the goat
There they go,overating him again
@@jaredbowen3527 he’s not overrating him it’s someone’s opinion
@@Koritrey Some things are objective you know xD
Still crying 😢 Mamba4ever❤️❤️💯
I have never seen a person beloved and celebrated by not just basketball and laker fans but buy the whole world in general, that just shows how much kobe meant to everyone and what an incredible man kobe bean bryant was.
I couldn't have said it better myself. It's amazing to see the impact he made on people's lives. He was a true cultural icon that will be missed and mourned for years to come.
He LOVED people!!!!
Randy Moss it took GREAT Courage for you to be able express your thoughts on one of the greatest players to ever play the game much respect
The most dangerous wide receiver in the 90’s, Randy Moss!
Nah. That'd be Rice.
BigNick Digger I hear you. I said the most dangerous, it does not
have to be the best I guess. 🤝
Domini478 Yeah, he had those best seasons late 90’s including Marshall University with Chad Pennington. 🥳
INTOtheVOID11 Bruh, he did not even have prime time QB. No one could guard him due to his vertical leap and speed. Oh, but he did have Chris Carter #80.
Captain Tsubasa he was pretty dangerous with Brady too
Still Crying When People Talk About His Death! The Affects He Had On People Is Unbelievable! R.I.Power Mamba 🐍
I never watched Kobe a day in my life,heard of him obviously...but his passing suddenly has had me so emotional for now 7 day's and I can't shake it...such a very sad story all around
Kobe was amazing and how he touched and moved people is incredible 🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾. I’m not a huge basketball fan but hearing his death made me sad 😢 and I wish I watched more games of his 😢.
From 1998 - 2005, Kobe & Randy Moss were the two most electrifying players in Sports.
Marcus Williams
I love Kobe and this is so sad, but definitely AI during that span!
Marcus Williams thank you. I agree 💯 my love! 💯💯💯💯💯💯
Kobe after 2005 in my book, Kobe the baddest can't nobody touch him not even that James guy..
Don’t disrespect Kobe like that smh Kobe was electrifying from 98-2013. Greatest player of his generation
@@LAlove2023 Your welcome beautiful 😍😍😘😘😘
The sad part is he was soo disrespected the last few years. People changed the narrative and tried saying lebron was better then kob since 2006. You can actually find clips of multiple analyst saying it was lebrons league since 06. Kobe and jordan are the the goats and then you can have argument about the rest. Moss is right about the politics no one on tv actually believed lebron was better then kobe that's why you always heard players saying kobe was the best they ever played against.
That's why I don't watch these sports commentators. They literally were calling Kobe the best in the league for year after year but acted like he didn't exist after he retired just to prop up LeBron. Smh
LeBron a never better than Kobe he’s in the top 5 but not better than Kobe.
That's ALWAYS BEEN My Problem as well!.. COMPLETELY DISRESPECTED...
Lebron is better than Kobe lmao, that argument completely ended in 2016. And Kobe is nowhere near the GOAT. But out of respect I for Kobe won’t argue about it.
LeBron and Kobe are greats in their own ways, cant compare the two, stop it y'all
I still get to.cry when watching these interviews about kobe..
This hit home everywhere 😞
this is why ive always loved randy moss period
I will still forever yell "MOSS" when I makes a tough catch over someone and "KOBE" when taking a tough shot
interception?
@@RobbieStacks90 why tho 🤣😂🤣
Facts
Joe Yaknow you pose to yell out “you got MOSSED”
What...
Still feels unreal a week later. Even for the millions of us who never met him personally it's still difficult to face the fact that we now have to live in a world without him. I still cry thinking of it and I definitely had a tough time enjoying the superbowl with this tragedy still fresh in my mind 😥
I miss KOBE! I'm still in shock! God be with his family!
Thank You Randy Moss,you make me cry again 😢
Mambaforever
My man Randy Moss is the man, that was deep, heart felt and real 💯
You know what I never seen Randy Moss share these emotions and I have never really cared too much for Randy because I grew up a Jerry Rice fan but now that I realize he had this much respect for Kobe now Randy has my respects it made me tear up because deep in my heart I feel Kobe is the greatest basketball I have ever seen with my own eyes watching most of his games his entire career.
Kobe's workout ethic was UNMATCHABLE!! He was the most driven athlete I've ever heard about or seen. His workouts were EXTREME. He wanted to be the best and he strived to do whatever it took to obtain that status. No other athlete's can compare to drive to Kobe.
Love u Randy...king mamba for ever!
That's powerful for randy to say that...R.i.P Kobe Bryant 🙏🏾♥️🙏🏾
That was freakin awesome 👏🏼 thank you Randy 😔😫
Thank you for saying it Randy! I feel the same way! My 2 eyes never saw a player better than Kobe and I've seen um all! #8 #24!
Need to get your eyes checked my guy
@Desmond Hackney I can only speak for my own eyes not the next mans.
@@ClassickWORLD Goodlooking out I'll do that 👍
@@paulbarton6141 I just don't see how anyone who seen MJ play (Same relentless mentaility and skill set as Kobe, but way more athletic, better shot selection, better defender, and more clutch in big moments) could say that.
@@ClassickWORLD Jordan was more athletic and defintely more efficient. Kobe was definitely a better shooter and ball handler! They both have 9 first team all defense awards along with Gary Payton. I love MJ though and I have no problem with him being known as the best ever he's just not my pick.
Thank you Moss, You and Kobe definitely my 2 fave athletes
I'm still heartbroken from him and his daughter's death. He was a legend and his daughter was going to carry on his legacy to be great in basketball
2022 still with you kobe and gigi etc.. Lakers Nation 4ever... ✌️ 🙏
8/24💔💔😢😢
GIANNA💔💔😭😭
Never cried so much for someone not related to my immediate family...
Randy Moss another GREAT who completely turned his image around an is a complete class act......
I still can't believe it. Kobe no longer here on Earth. How he died, devastating. Rest In Peace to all.❤🙏❤🙏❤
And Now Undertaker Has Passed On Kobe: SMH Why Did It Have To Be Undertaker *Shakes Head* This Is Weird I Swear I'm Living In An Alternate Universe Where Undertaker Is Actually Dead That Ain't Right Bruh
When you been touched by kobes passing and message after his passing.Mamba mentality forever. Rest in peace Champ.
Much love to thee Great Randy Moss long live the one and only Black Mamba REST IN PARADISE KOBE BEAN BRYANT ALWAYS LOVED FOREVER REMEMBERED LAKERS4LIFE
Thanks Randy for speaking for most of us if not all of us!!! Mamba 4 life!
We LOVE ❤️ YOU KOBE I SWEAR WE DO!!!! You will be MISSED!!!
Just when I thought I was done shedding tears. I gotta stop watching these Kobe videos for a while.
Months later, this still brings the tears out, man.
Greatness recognizing greatness
Randy Moss hit it home for him to be. honest and break down in tears is a real man and I respect him even more now . much love and respect .
I was already dehydrated from crying all week, then Randy making a Brother flow what ever few tears I got left. 😢😭. ✌🏽, MUCH ❤ and 🙏🏽 to The Bryant Family ❗ This one stills hurts and I'm sure it will for a long time. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
It's ok to cry on TV Sam❤ we're crying w/ you🙏🏽💔💛💜
Crazy how you gotta die for folks to truly appreciate greatness 💔😥😇🙏🏽
The whole world mourned that’s how much impact that one man had on not just sports but the world! Mamba forever!!!
Thank you mr moss.
Still crying when I see story’s about him ,I try my best not to watch but man ,they keep coming
This was awesome. My favorite football player since 5th grade talking about my favorite basketball player since I was a kid
Yep ...
Just sucks that I won’t have a chance to meet Kobe in person..
Rogelio Panotes He was in Alabama where I am and ate at Full Moon BBQ. I was at work that night, and I wish I met him too. His death still hits me hard💔😢😭
Marcus Hamner I’m sorry to hear that.. I guess it’s gonna be one of the stories that we will tell our grand kids of the things we regret
Same here I was a huge fan of Kobe
2 years.. Still cryed watching this... Mamba forever!💟🐍
The two reasons why I got into each respective sports, Kobe and Randy 🎯🎯🎯
Well said Randy , you got me crying 😢😢
I love Love Randy Moss!!❤
Respect & kudos to the reporter with the perfect response..
Fareal bro!! Mamba Forever!
1 year later, still fcking unreal..
Randy Moss is a real one for saying what he said....moved me to tears
I said the same thing, why am I crying I didn't even know the guy. Koby had that kind of effect on people.
Everyone felt this loss the world felt it 💯 Kobe aka mamba 4 life ✊🏽💯🌎
Who’s cutting the onions near that stage? No one, cause those tears are real and full of emotion for Kobe!
Wow Randy 😢
Randy moss 🥺I completely agree with u
