    MJ rarely gives public speeches & hadn't spoken publicly about Kobe since his passing. It goes to show just how much he was hurting & how much he loved Kobe like a little brother.
    To have the G.O.A.T. himself in tears, speaking highly of you & your character to the world. Acknowledging your greatness to your peers, is the ultimate honor.
    Truly, 1 of the greatest moments in Sports history.

You measure a man by his mindset and mental toughness.

Maybe it was nerves or just trying to make a joke for the sake of not crying like crazy in the beginning.

    Kobe's passing was one of the hardest things to cope. When I was just a teen living in China, Kobe was the first basketball player I've known. I would watch lakers game during the lunch break with my classmates and admired all his moves! I bought so many kobe's posters and signed his name in Chinese (lol). 10 years later, I moved to the states. My top checklist was to see laker's game in staples center. I still vividly remembered seeing Kobe playing on court. He nailed it in the 4th quarter and lakers won ! That was a dream come true moment of my life. I wanted to say thank you dear Kobe. You gave me strength and hope. Now i'm 35 and soon become a mother. I will teach my kid to play basketball and watch your games together. Lots of love.

    To get this emotion from Michael Jordan is so rare, we almost never see him around as much. And for him to be there speaking about Kobe is really special and shows how many people Kobe touched with his creative spirit. He's missed everyday.

      Beloved, I don't know you in person but God knows you. God ministered to me in a revelation when I was on your profile to see things around you,I saw blessings but spiritual attacks holding onto them,in prayers,i saw a woman in the realm of the spirit monitoring and plotting delay in your life, with an evil mirror, and with a motive to destroy. But as I speak to you now her time is up, Render hand of favour with Anything you can afford or give to these motherless foundation (Godstime MOTHERLESS FOUNDATION) in kebbi state nigeria before 2DAYS with faith, as I Rise my hands towards heaven and pray for you they shall serve as point of contact wherever you are, you will receive double portion of grace to excel and total restoration of breakthrough in your life and in the life of your family. Ask for their acct details and help them call the MD in charge of the orphanage to get their details on (WhatsApp or call them now on +2348128751138) tell him I sent an you. For it is not by might nor by in power but of the spirit saith the lord (zechariah 4:6). You shall testify to the Glory of God in your life. God bless you....

    Seeing MJ emotional really puts into perspective how serious and competitive he was while playing, and why the emotional flood would always break after winning a championship. His teammates literally did not think he was capable of these emotions until they saw it with the trophy in his hands. They thought he was a sociopath, someone without empathy and whose only emotion expressed is anger and frustration, and it turns out he’s this big empathetic teddy bear the whole time. Love it.

    This is the only time I was moved by a celebrity's death. At 42 years old, I'm blessed to be old enough to have seen Michael in his prime but Kobe was my goat. This still hurts to this day, Kobe was an outstanding basketball player but most importantly, he was a great ambassador of the game. I was blessed to see him play live and witness his killer instinct and passion for the game. Those are moments I will never forget. I miss him like I knew him personally. That's how hard this one hit me. Rest in peace champ, I'm sure you're hitting that fade-away in heaven right now along with the other greats we've lost.

    Kobe didn’t look at his opponents as opponents he looked at them as an opportunity, experience and a partner or friend. Everyone has something to learn and to give. He cherished life no matter the position he was in. On the court, at home or in public it didn’t matter. He was one of few who chose to live while heartedly and put his fame aside. He realized something many in the fame industry dont and that is fame was his job not his identity. Rip Kobe.
