@@hittz2581 I was in complete denial when I found out, while I was watching the news coverage. There were moment's when my eyes started to get watery. But I kept telling myself? No no no! It's a mistake, they got it wrong. They the wrong helicopter, it's a death hoax. It wasn't until my wife posted on Facebook and said how bad she felt that he died and how much me and my oldest son love kobe and the Lakers. That's when I lost it, I cried and cried and I cried. Some time's I still cry,and I still can't believe it
On its face, I *totally* understand what Shannon is saying. However, I still said to myself, "Kobe was just beginning the second 'act', if you will, of his life, and now that will remain unfinished.". I'm not a Lakers fan, per se (I don't hate or disrespect them, though, either) but I respected players like Kobe, Shaq, Kareem, and Magic *A. LOT.* simply because they were the best of the best, and they got to where they were/are by having a strong work ethic. I think the thing that sucks the most about *Kobe's* death is that he was, what, only a couple years(?) into the "second act" of his life before it was tragically taken from his loved ones. *THAT* hurts, because a lot of people have said that Kobe's "second act" was going to be just as great as his "first act" (his NBA career), and yet, he hardly got a "second act" to perform, so to speak. And don't even get me started on GiGi... ugh. :(
That hit home when Shannon said that. As said as we all are today, it was just Kobe and Gianna's destiny to go like that. We can question it but we have to accept it.
I’ve shouted “Kobe!” So many times while shooting: Rolled up socks into the laundry basket at home Wads of paper into the trash basket at work Empty soda cans And more Kobe, you will live on forever in our hearts. Love you man.
Rest in peace: Kobe Bryant Gianna “Gigi” Bryant Alyssa Altobelli John Altobelli Keri Altobelli Christina Mauser Payton Chester Sarah Chester Ara Zobayan (pilot) ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yeah as harsh as it sounds I sometimes think if at least Gigi would’ve survived or hasn’t been on board...she would’ve carry his legacy with so much pride
This stuff is heartbreaking man. He was barely starting his 2nd career and his daughter was barely starting her life. They had so much more left to give. RIP Kobe and Gianna 🙏💜💛
@@dominiquejones3805 I’m the exact same age as Kobe. I didn’t feel different when I turned 40 but I realized I’m probably half way through my life. That’s if I’m lucky enough to live that long. Then when something like what happened to Kobe happens I realized I just need to enjoy the moment and not think about how old I am because it’s irrelevant. We have no idea when it can suddenly be over so just enjoy it and don’t spend time focusing on the negative things. Tune it out because none of that BS will matter when we’re gone. Good things won’t matter either but I’d rather spend the time I do have focusing and enjoying the good things in life.
Will never forget this episode of Undisputed. You can tell Skip was doing everything he could to not break down and fall apart. I’ve never seen him this raw, open and vulnerable.
Still doesn't feel real. I hear that expression all the time but never understood it. Sometimes you think celebrities are playing by different rules but accidents happen to them too. Absolutely heartbreaking
You can see he was planning on something huge since he retired, with how much he's involved with the game he loves, being extremely involved with Women's Basketball, then of course Gigi was gonna get a ton of scholarships not because of her last name but the way she trains for the game, and we knew we were gonna mourn his life I didn't expect it to be this week, he was not only the student of the game, but a tremendous father, incredible person and the greatest basketball player to ever live, we all miss you Kobe Bean, and we'll definitely see you again 💖
Mac I think sports players just want someone they can share all their knowledge with. Gigi was that, but that’s not very common for girls to be as into sports. And for someone like Shannon, who’s sport was football, he couldn’t share any of that with a daughter
There's no "can", its definitive. It's not "if" it's "when". It just seems surreal when someone who has so much going for them in their life passes unexpectedly.
That’s exactly how it feels to me. He’s only two years older than me and it feels like I grew up with him. Watched him since he was 17 and cheered him on his entire 20 year career. To me it feels like I lost a family member.
Kobe was a celebrity to the celebrities. The Jordan of my generation. God bless the legend. May his soul rest in peace!! I pray Vanessa gets the strength to carry on.
Karl E kobe is beyond jordan because kobe moved beyond his own desire to reach out to the world after basketball. whats jordan done for the world? really nothing besides gamble and sell sneakers. he’s non-existent in a sense
richard r u talk as if you actually know either one of those guys and what they have done for their communities and the world. No disrespect 2 Kobe because I am a fan of his and I just wouldn’t disrespect a dead man but what has Kobe done for the world that you are so impressed with? Write a childrens book?
I'm crying right now because his wife and other daughters, the husband who lost his wife and each person represented on the helicopter family members. Pray for their strength and comfort.
I believe that, the way he was talking about Kobe and life in general. There was moment's were I was telling myself? Oooohhh!!! Preach it shannon sharp
Kobe was never my favorite player but he was who I respected the most in all sports. He was the most competitive player I ever seen, from the battles against Boston, to just showing up and competing in every All-Star Game and every USA Game. He brought a spirit of competitiveness to the league that was so monumental, you didn't notice how much of an impact he had until he left .. not to mention you were the clutchest player of all-time no debate, I can't put RIP infront your name .. #LongLiveKobe
Kobe had a better work ethic than Jordan tho, longer career, no breaks unless injured, remained in shape and worked after nba, less natural athletic ability (although still gifted). No disrespect to Jordan or any other athlete but I think Kobe had a better work ethic and competitiveness than any other athlete on this planet.
“Every man’s heart one day beats its final beat. His lungs breathe their final breath. And if what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through the body of others and makes them bleed deeper and something larger than life, then his essence, his spirit, will be immortalized by the storytellers, by the loyalty, by the memory of those who honor him and make the running the man did live forever.” Kobe, you will be missed, you’ll live forever in our hearts and minds.

Nobody is bigger than death "Nobody" so Love & Appreciate one another while they're here cuz u never know when GOD will call them home... R.I.P to ALL the lives that were lost...
I remember listening to Shannon saying this live... and he was so well spoken and said the the exact right things... and it gave me strength. Thanks Shannon for the beautiful words.
Fortune Maker don’t get me wrong, all of us also have the victims in mind as well. Rest In Peace Ara Zobayan, John Altobelli, Keri Altobelli, Alyssa Altobelli, Christina Mauser, Sarah Chester, Payton Chester, Gianna Bryant, and Kobe Bryant. They of course will be missed by family and friends as well.
@@Pedroism of course financially she and her family are set for life, but its more than money bro, its emotional support. She needs comforting from friends/family
No Micheal Jordan was damn near 50 years old...Kobe was 21and in his prime... Kobe is top 10 MAYBE even top 5 player of all time BUT Micheal Jordan was the GOAT, but maybe when your THAT GOOD it doesn't matter....
I watched Kobe growing up and he was my favorite player. He made me fall in love with basketball. Once I got older I appreciated the mental influence he had on my determination and focus level. Seeing your hero and their kid die so young like this is crushing. Prayers out to the Bryant family.
When celebrities die, it don’t hit me, but when Kobe died, it hit me hard, I been watching this dude play since I was in high school, when he got drafted in 1996, I was a sophomore. It’s been 8 months and I’m still not over his death. I’m just not.
MJ's death was surprising, but I knew his health wasn't the best. Kobe's death was just insanely surprising and out of nowhere. He was in the prime of his health, no sicknesses, on no medications, still exercised regularly and played basketball for fun, probably could've dominated any non-NBA basketball league in the world. He was the last person you'd expect to die. Btw, I'm just comparing the surprise/randomness factor of their deaths. I'm not comparing whose death was worse or anything like that.
Parker's NBA History Totally agree with you. Kobe was still in his prime and a contemporary who you see on TV and events regularly. His death was a complete surprise.
For me both of their death's hit me equally hard like I brokedown when both of them passed one was my favorite musician and role model that inspired my pasion to do music and become a musician the second one was my favorite basketball player my Superman my super Hero that made me feel ok and gave wisdom to stay strong both of them helped me deal with depresion, felt like family members and father figures that I never had is sad that Kobe had to pass a week after my first daughter was born that whole period became the most emotional week span of my whole live never ever have I felt so much sadness and joy at the same time like I was a mess I didnt know what to feel or how to feel
Out of everybody that I heard talk about Kobe, nobody expressed it as beautifully as you guys did skip and shannon. Yall are also becoming bigger than life bc of the way you communicate things to us . Thank you
Y’all remember in Rush Hour 2 when Chris T is running up the stairs? There is a lady that says, step aside or out the way Kobe to Chris T. Talk about Global Influence. RIP KB!
Mannnn. This cuts deep. I'm 46 with a 13 yr old son who's starting to love the sport of basketball that his dad coaches. I've been a Kobe fan since he entered the league. He was my GOAT. I never understood people crying about celebrities passing away. I do now. 😭 RIP Kobe + GiGi and all the other passengers. Watching everyone remember and honor Kobe is well overdue because all the media wants to do is Bron vs Kobe...Kobe vs Shaq. Makes it even sadder 😟
When I was 10, I came home on the last day of school to find out my dad died. I would not believe it b/c my dad flew thru WWII, Korea & Vietnam. To me, he was indestructible. But he was killed in a car crash. So I think millions of us know death can take anyone, anywhere, at any time. I feel so bad for his wife & surviving kids. They will miss him all their lives, not b/c he was famous but b/c he was husband & dad. And @ 13, that is just too young. But I trust in God so R.I.P. 😢
@@kmx4202 Thanks man. I always looked up to him & ended up retiring a Marine. My big brother retired Air Force. NEVER would have seen that as a kid. Thought I'd retire as the Cowboys QB. 😁
As a fan of the Spurs Tim, Tony and Manu era, Thank you Kobe for the great memories. God always has a plan. Shannon and Skip said it best about life. Hopefully with this impact, we as people need to appreciate life and love one another.
That's me exactly,I feel like I could recite the dialogue word for word I've watched it so many times. Kobe's death hit me so deep.i still can't believe he's gone
I think about Gigi and her classmates too. Man they never got that chance to go to prom, work for scholarships, and didn’t walk down that aisle. It’s sad
Celtics fan here. I was heartbroken when I heard this news while watching the Pro Prowl. I've grown to have deep respect for the Lakers over the years because of the great rivalry between the two teams. My soul weeps for his wife, kids and friends. RIP to a legend, the great Kobe Bryant and his beautiful young daughter Gianna and all others that were in the helicopter. Such a tragedy.
Just imagining the situation Kobe and GiGi were in breaks me apart. Kobe and her knowing the helicopter is coming down, spending their last moments in fear like that, really hurts me. Rip Kobe and GiGi and all other passengers❤️
Mike Studmuffin ua-cam.com/video/LK0uM5OIONA/v-deo.html According to this video they were nose diving downward, though im still unsure, im hearing multiple different things.
Nearly always when a famous person dies suddenly, you instantly just feel low and bad. With Kobe, it was instant denial. It was such a shock acceptance couldn't happen yet.
OMG, I love this show, but this one was a super special show. What Skip & Shannon just said, I've been thinking those things since I heard the news of Kobe's passing. RIP MAMBA !!
And not just "losing a husband and daughter just like [snap of the fingers]" but losing a man who dedicated himself to striving for the pinnacle of greatness!
It’s so important to appreciate life and every moment of it. Honestly, we all can learn from this. None of expected this to happen to Kobe. All of us are feeling this! Put LOVE first and above all negative stuff that does not benefit our lives/hearts.
I kept saying this to myself. Because who knows what the last convos were like between Kobe and Vanessa, Gigi and Vanessa. They probably made dinner plans and all that and none of it was able to come to pass
It’s so rare to see Skip stuttering that much. That shows how hard and unbelievable it is for everyone including me.. RIP Kobe, RIP Gianna #mambaforever
I was 18 when MJ died, and I watched so many people on the news crying their eyes out and I was thinking to myself "why are y'all crying? You didn't even know him." I understand now 😭
RIP Kobe, great person, father and friend. God bless the Bryant family and everybody involved in the tragic event. We already miss you. Much Love Kobe Bryant
This has made me realize to just give up the small and big problems you have with someone. Just love the people around you. Life is to short to feel so much hate.
When kobe hit a shot from damn near behind the goal..."swish" ik then one of the best to ever do it...i was more vince cater n those days vinsantiy was my fave...but kobe was the mj of my era...late 90s early 2000s...rip kobe and gigi
Lauren Anderson do you think that only people from your generation knows about Kobe or are the only age group of people that are NBA fans? I was born in 1981 and I watched both Jordan and Kobe in their prime and Jordan was and is just the greatest basketball player 2 ever play. Sorry u didn’t get 2 witness true greatness
4 years later and I can honestly say this is till the biggest moment in sports history in the last 2 decades and I honestly never seen skip get this emotional and fight it and legit. It’s like his most talked about icon besides Jordan and Brady had gone and he’s honestly hurting after giving takes in this man for almost 16 years

Amen

"There is one appointment you will never be able to cancel." Damn if that isn't the truth man! RIP Black Mamba

When he said that, it really hit home for me. Sadly? Kobe had an early appointment that he had to check into
Kevin Prima a fount of wisdom
What did shannon mean by that?
Don’t stop saying “Kobe” when you shoot anything. The legend must live on in us.
MrAussiePoo I’m going to start saying “ For Kobe” when I shoot.
It will never stop
@@cornhuskerfever FACTS
No way I could say that without tearing up, so nah...forever in my heart tho. 💜
I still say “Jordan”
I’ve shouted “Kobe!” So many times while shooting:
Rolled up socks into the laundry basket at home
Wads of paper into the trash basket at work
Empty soda cans
And more
Kobe, you will live on forever in our hearts. Love you man.
Great comment man
Real talk brother.
Keep on shouting Kobe
Just realized I rarely heard Jordan while throwing something in the trash, it mostly "Kobe". Just the example of his greatness.
Glenn Mitchell yup! Kobe all the way man 💯
Kobe was gonna revolutionize women's basketball. Gigi would've been the GOAT wnba player.
Mafadow he was very dedicated to those girls he coached and trained. It’s mind-boggling how it all ended
I was looking forward to her career. My supervisor's nephew plays in the same AAU league. They just saw her two weeks ago at a Nike Tournament...
I doubt that...How you gonna determine she gonna be the goat of wnba when she never played...

almost everyday

made his wife a billionaire. had the investments in place already. rip kobe
Gigi’s life is sadder than Kobe’s. He accomplished so much and she was just getting started. Too young man.
JVO_sean she was also trying to follow in her father’s footsteps too, its saddening that she couldn’t do that.
I wouldn't have been surprised if Gigi might have owned the Lakers someday . You could tell she to was special. 💜
@@timelesswho JVOSean: Man, do I agree with you! And when this tragedy is spoken about, I hardly ever hear her mentioned!

@@pip388 2 of gigi's teammates died too one of them had her mother and father with her and the other one had her mother, extremely sad.

Don't forget about everyone else not just kobe and the daughter
well its ok because she is gonna see him soon

Keep seeing the captions and the tribute videos....i cant imagine him not being here it all looks so foreign
That's funny because he believed "No, please Kobe stop!" didn't sound right either.
You can see he was planning on something huge since he retired, with how much he's involved with the game he loves, being extremely involved with Women's Basketball, then of course Gigi was gonna get a ton of scholarships not because of her last name but the way she trains for the game, and we knew we were gonna mourn his life I didn't expect it to be this week, he was not only the student of the game, but a tremendous father, incredible person and the greatest basketball player to ever live, we all miss you Kobe Bean, and we'll definitely see you again 💖

He was the most competitive player I ever seen, from the battles against Boston, to just showing up and competing in every All-Star Game and every USA Game.

Jordan would prob debate who the most clutch player is.
@@chrisbeard734 obv they will do that and then some
RIP 2 Kobe he was the closest thing 2 Jordan but he was definitely not as clutch as Jordan. Jordan was unbelievable and was Kobe times ten

No disrespect to Jordan or any other athlete but I think Kobe had a better work ethic and competitiveness than any other athlete on this planet.

My grandma is the same, she’s not really into either and she was heartbroken.
True. I have family in Los Angeles. They all love Kobe. He was the face of LA.
Shannon is such a great speaker; he put a positive and apprecitive perspective to everything about Kobe and what we can all take from it.
I grew up watching Kobe Bryant, when I heard he passed away I couldn't believe it. I'm a Lakers fan because of him. R.I.P Mamba 🙏
@4th Genna Didn't you watch the video. He flew almost everywhere with a helicopter.
Unbelievable it’s so sad 😞
6:35 when skip deliver the word “ko- kobe died”. Sooo heartbreaking. 😭😭😭
Kobe may be gone physically, but he will forever be alive in our hearts
Rest easy Kobe. You’ll never be forgotten. Ever.
Nobody is bigger than death "Nobody" so Love & Appreciate one another while they're here cuz u never know when GOD will call them home... R.I.P to ALL the lives that were lost...
How awesome of God to call home young children 🙄
Kazi fr
We are shocked when our heroes die, but we all know everyone dies. Death is undefeated..
Well said my brother... Because when God calls we must answer that one !
@Teresa Blanco Rather, we are here to work and prepare for the afterlife. That's the ultimate reality.
It just seems so unreal He won’t even see himself inducted into the Hall of Fame 🤦🏾♂️💯
360 Cam ik no hof speech 😔😔😔
Spirit lives forever he will most definitely see it
360 Cam they need to let shaq speak on his behalf
Anthony Mayweathers his wife or his daughters
He’ll be looking down on us celebrating his greatness Kobe will be with us until the wheels fall off
I remember listening to Shannon saying this live... and he was so well spoken and said the the exact right things... and it gave me strength. Thanks Shannon for the beautiful words.
I come back and rewatch this every now and then. Can’t believe it’s been 4 years..
RIP Everyone involved in the accident.
🐍🐍🐍 Mamba Forever 🙌🏿✊🏿🏀
Great comment! A true Legend has left us. But he will never be forgotten just like the other 8 will not be as well. My condolences to all families.
Mamba Mentality 😢
its weird how we ignore all the other victims. all the other million people who died on sunday really...
Fortune Maker don’t get me wrong, all of us also have the victims in mind as well. Rest In Peace Ara Zobayan, John Altobelli, Keri Altobelli, Alyssa Altobelli, Christina Mauser, Sarah Chester, Payton Chester, Gianna Bryant, and Kobe Bryant. They of course will be missed by family and friends as well.
I just hope the mom doesnt go suicidal or anything like that. I can't imagine losing your spouse and child in the same day.
I hope the siblings/children of the other family stay strong as well 🙏🏾❤️
@@Cloncurryboi88 Exactly. Same goes to the others who are suffering from this who aren't well known.

3lement2010 bruh don’t talk like that wtf
If you’re reading this, go tell your loved ones you love them. We’re not promised tomorrow, ever. Long live Mamba 💔
It takes for someone to die to you to say something like that. Y'all don't just do it every day? Bums
@@joee4894 LoL. we can tell Kobe was a great father. Good family members don't think about loving because it's another normal day.
@@casualmmafan6464 right
@@casualmmafan6464 ay who you got romero or Izzy?
Khabib or Ferguson?
@@joee4894 Izzy probably, gotta go with my fave the underdog Tony.
Damn. Hung 55 on Jordan and told him “take that with you into retirement “
Yea.... Jordan is still the Goat.
@@brianroberts9278 but the nerve of even saying that to Jordan lmao smh....Kobe was on another level with his drive
No Micheal Jordan was damn near 50 years old...Kobe was 21and in his prime... Kobe is top 10 MAYBE even top 5 player of all time BUT Micheal Jordan was the GOAT, but maybe when your THAT GOOD it doesn't matter....
Deborah Hatcher Kobe easily top 5 but that’s neither here nor there
@@brianroberts9278 Jordan ain't been the goat for a long time guy. Lebron james went to 9 straight finals with no help
I watched Kobe growing up and he was my favorite player. He made me fall in love with basketball. Once I got older I appreciated the mental influence he had on my determination and focus level. Seeing your hero and their kid die so young like this is crushing. Prayers out to the Bryant family.
Swear when he said it feels like a family member passed I got chills up my spine! It does feel like that
"My Princess is strong enough.." 😢 My daughter is getting love when i get home like it or not...😢😢
My 6 year old is getting annoyed because of the long hugs. This is a rough one
Jay Me you should try loving her all the time..
@@mikebarnes7441
Notice they said "long" hugs, not hugs in general, smh... Meaning they are giving their child EXTRA, because of the tragedy.
Uhm, that is irrelevant.. The person I actually posted in response to said no such thing.
Facts man when I heard the words Kobe passed my heart dropped in a instant it doesn’t even feel real.
When celebrities die, it don’t hit me, but when Kobe died, it hit me hard, I been watching this dude play since I was in high school, when he got drafted in 1996, I was a sophomore. It’s been 8 months and I’m still not over his death. I’m just not.
This one hit me harder than even Michael Jackson's sudden death.
Same
Right and I was a fan of Michael Jackson. Still hit harder with Kobe, Gigi, and families passing.
MJ's death was surprising, but I knew his health wasn't the best.
Kobe's death was just insanely surprising and out of nowhere. He was in the prime of his health, no sicknesses, on no medications, still exercised regularly and played basketball for fun, probably could've dominated any non-NBA basketball league in the world. He was the last person you'd expect to die.
Btw, I'm just comparing the surprise/randomness factor of their deaths. I'm not comparing whose death was worse or anything like that.
Parker's NBA History Totally agree with you. Kobe was still in his prime and a contemporary who you see on TV and events regularly. His death was a complete surprise.
For me both of their death's hit me equally hard like I brokedown when both of them passed one was my favorite musician and role model that inspired my pasion to do music and become a musician the second one was my favorite basketball player my Superman my super Hero that made me feel ok and gave wisdom to stay strong both of them helped me deal with depresion, felt like family members and father figures that I never had is sad that Kobe had to pass a week after my first daughter was born that whole period became the most emotional week span of my whole live never ever have I felt so much sadness and joy at the same time like I was a mess I didnt know what to feel or how to feel
Even waking up today, I still can’t believe kobe is gone. RIP Mamba!
You know when your born , you'll never know when you die my mom used to say ,sad but true, RIP kobe ,gianna, & the rest ! 🙏😭
well my mom sayd if you dont shut up you wont be breathing next minute
As a father myself... This ones tough. Rip Kobe . 😞💔
Out of everybody that I heard talk about Kobe, nobody expressed it as beautifully as you guys did skip and shannon. Yall are also becoming bigger than life bc of the way you communicate things to us . Thank you
Man It’s still unbelievable that my boy Kobe is gone… and it still feel like he’s here💛💜😔 had to come here again.
this tragedy will go down as one of the most relevant and sad moments in modern-day history
thats a little over thge top
Robbie T what has happened in the past 20 years that have topped it?
@@angelhighlight5154 and beyond that Kobe has created a unique impact on the world and pop culture and he was just getting started
Angel Highlight How about 2 planes flying into the World Trade Center killing 3000 ordinary, everyday people?
Angel Highlight The death of Michael Jackson
Y’all remember in Rush Hour 2 when Chris T is running up the stairs? There is a lady that says, step aside or out the way Kobe to Chris T. Talk about Global Influence. RIP KB!
😄😄 Ah man, Memories.
Aww yeah 😭😭
I just watched Kobe Bryant in Daddy's Home when they all go to Lakers games KB on that movie for like a min or two
Yea rush hour two my top 3 all time fave movies that scene was gold the way she said it so casually lol
Yep sure did
Mannnn. This cuts deep. I'm 46 with a 13 yr old son who's starting to love the sport of basketball that his dad coaches. I've been a Kobe fan since he entered the league. He was my GOAT. I never understood people crying about celebrities passing away. I do now. 😭 RIP Kobe + GiGi and all the other passengers. Watching everyone remember and honor Kobe is well overdue because all the media wants to do is Bron vs Kobe...Kobe vs Shaq. Makes it even sadder 😟
When I was 10, I came home on the last day of school to find out my dad died. I would not believe it b/c my dad flew thru WWII, Korea & Vietnam. To me, he was indestructible. But he was killed in a car crash. So I think millions of us know death can take anyone, anywhere, at any time. I feel so bad for his wife & surviving kids. They will miss him all their lives, not b/c he was famous but b/c he was husband & dad. And @ 13, that is just too young. But I trust in God so R.I.P. 😢
Damn man your dad was a real hero r.i.p.
@@kmx4202 Thanks man. I always looked up to him & ended up retiring a Marine. My big brother retired Air Force. NEVER would have seen that as a kid. Thought I'd retire as the Cowboys QB. 😁
Hope you are doing ok, god bless he would be proud of you
Over a year later I still go back to watch these clips and I’m still in shock. RIP Kobe and thank you for the memories.
First time watching. I'm 30 seconds in and in tears. 😭
I'm glad Kobe got to see how much love we had for him when he was here.
Legends never die, legends stay eternal
Love this. This made my day
As a fan of the Spurs Tim, Tony and Manu era, Thank you Kobe for the great memories. God always has a plan. Shannon and Skip said it best about life. Hopefully with this impact, we as people need to appreciate life and love one another.
I’ve watched this so many times. Still in disbelief that we’ve lost a legend. My heart and prayers goes out to the families. 🙏🏽
That's me exactly,I feel like I could recite the dialogue word for word I've watched it so many times. Kobe's death hit me so deep.i still can't believe he's gone
I think about Gigi and her classmates too. Man they never got that chance to go to prom, work for scholarships, and didn’t walk down that aisle. It’s sad
Celtics fan here. I was heartbroken when I heard this news while watching the Pro Prowl. I've grown to have deep respect for the Lakers over the years because of the great rivalry between the two teams. My soul weeps for his wife, kids and friends. RIP to a legend, the great Kobe Bryant and his beautiful young daughter Gianna and all others that were in the helicopter. Such a tragedy.
Just imagining the situation Kobe and GiGi were in breaks me apart. Kobe and her knowing the helicopter is coming down, spending their last moments in fear like that, really hurts me. Rip Kobe and GiGi and all other passengers❤️
Mike Studmuffin ua-cam.com/video/LK0uM5OIONA/v-deo.html According to this video they were nose diving downward, though im still unsure, im hearing multiple different things.
Nearly always when a famous person dies suddenly, you instantly just feel low and bad. With Kobe, it was instant denial. It was such a shock acceptance couldn't happen yet.
OMG, I love this show, but this one was a super special show. What Skip & Shannon just said, I've been thinking those things since I heard the news of Kobe's passing. RIP MAMBA !!
Skips speech is unbeliavable. No one told the same things i was thinking but skip.Congrats to him for being real
Man this hurt. Tears hit when I found out his daughter was on board.
Wontrel Sells Didn’t Hit??.
@@eazyj2888 typo
RIP Kobe Bean Bryant 😔... be the best version of yourself because life is too short and death don’t discriminate 💯🙏🏾
And not just "losing a husband and daughter just like [snap of the fingers]" but losing a man who dedicated himself to striving for the pinnacle of greatness!
This still doesn't feel real I just wanna wake up from a nightmare
Yeah LEE
grow up..Like you personally known Kobe...
Robbie T you don’t need to know someone personally to be affected by their death
Idol worship..
I feel blessed to see Kobes full career since I was a kid to my adult life. R.I.P KOBE
It’s so important to appreciate life and every moment of it. Honestly, we all can learn from this. None of expected this to happen to Kobe. All of us are feeling this! Put LOVE first and above all negative stuff that does not benefit our lives/hearts.
I can’t believe he’s gone man.
I just can’t.
Believe it . People die
@@davidhiggins2578 there's always one person
Few people wake up in the morning and think to themselves “I’ll be dead before dinner”.
It’s very sad indeed.
And also not everyone say i'll be dead before my lunchbreak
@@Melbester9 There also few people say. I'm not gonna wake up again when I go to sleep. Sad reality
I kept saying this to myself. Because who knows what the last convos were like between Kobe and Vanessa, Gigi and Vanessa. They probably made dinner plans and all that and none of it was able to come to pass
Rip Kobe and Gigi💜💛🕊
It’s so rare to see Skip stuttering that much. That shows how hard and unbelievable it is for everyone including me..
RIP Kobe, RIP Gianna
#mambaforever
When Michael Jackson died my mom cried. Now I understand why. This hit me the same way. Fly high Kobe and gigi
I was 18 when MJ died, and I watched so many people on the news crying their eyes out and I was thinking to myself "why are y'all crying? You didn't even know him." I understand now 😭
RIP Kobe, great person, father and friend. God bless the Bryant family and everybody involved in the tragic event. We already miss you. Much Love Kobe Bryant
This is the most saddest skip bayless I ever seen
I admire Shannon how composed he is in this hart wrenching day. My thoughts and prayers with the Bryant family 🙏
Skip also looked like he was trying to keep himself composed
It's times like this, I need to hear Shannon Sharpe speak.
7:27. "
... Anyone of us can go." 😢🌹
9:50 Skip's way with words telling the truth ... look at the synchronized reaction of the people in the back
When I heard the news I kept thinking this can't be real? He seemed immortal...This mans reach was worldwide. Terribly sad for everyone involved.
I still can’t even believe it
Damn. Never heard Skip stutter so much. Respect to both these men for what they said.
This is the best show that gives tribute to kobe, Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe statement is so authentic, great wisdom and heartwarming💛
His daughter and the relationship they had Rips my heart out that that ended
This has made me realize to just give up the small and big problems you have with someone. Just love the people around you. Life is to short to feel so much hate.
100%
Mamba mentality will live forever, Kobe is bigger than basketball. A true great and example to everyone on and off the court. Rest In Paradise! 👑
When kobe hit a shot from damn near behind the goal..."swish" ik then one of the best to ever do it...i was more vince cater n those days vinsantiy was my fave...but kobe was the mj of my era...late 90s early 2000s...rip kobe and gigi
Likewise... VC was my fave then it turned into Kobe! 💯
Jordan is the real true Goat of basketball
Lauren Anderson do you think that only people from your generation knows about Kobe or are the only age group of people that are NBA fans? I was born in 1981 and I watched both Jordan and Kobe in their prime and Jordan was and is just the greatest basketball player 2 ever play. Sorry u didn’t get 2 witness true greatness
@Lauren Anderson yea tmac was a monster too...i loved to watch him...he wlda been right after kobe ...kobe,tmac,a.i. ran early 2000s..
@@adamsanchez719 we know who tha goat is man...
4 years later and I can honestly say this is till the biggest moment in sports history in the last 2 decades and I honestly never seen skip get this emotional and fight it and legit. It’s like his most talked about icon besides Jordan and Brady had gone and he’s honestly hurting after giving takes in this man for almost 16 years
Damn right Skip, MJ, Prince and Kobe hit my soul
