    I can’t imagine losing a child and a spouse and then having to speak about it in front of millions of people. I could never do that. Vanessa is so strong. 3 years later, and I still cry while watching this. Praying for the Bryant family.

      @Asta The Demon he admitted it! She had bruises on her neck. Rape kit positive. What he said was he thought it was consensual but he believed after that she didn't. That's better than most of him to say; but it's still rape . doesn't make him wholly evil. And he was very young.but let's not pretend he was perfect his whole life. No one is . we can celebrate him while mentioning his flaws. But I don't think a memorial service is the right place for it

It is time in this country to go back to If you do not have anything nice to say, you don’t speak. So much negativity, such hate, and then there are the trolls that live to wind the rest of us UP. You tube counts the 👎 as an interaction, which probably plays into the monetization. Think about whatever you have watched on this platform and you enjoy giving a positive feedback, only to read the negatives. It really takes the wind out of your sails. So Upfont Eric I be signing and promoting this change if you start the petition. What’s everyone think?

    Michael Jordan. My heart just broke. To see him with tears openly flowing was so sad. Its so bittersweet to remember the good stuff about Kobe, because even though you laugh you're still crying because it's sad. But MJ had a good message, Kobe looked up to him and looked to him for advice so he could be the best. In spite of Kobe being a pain, it led to mutual respect. We can all take lessons that everything in life gives us an opportunity for growth, for a chance to have a positive experience, you just have to be open to it. And MJ said Kobe even had the power to make him be a crying meme for the next 4 years he has to look at. Kobe could just get to you. It's one of a kind to effect people like that. If you have that in your life, be grateful, not everyone is that blessed. Events like these cause us to take stock in our lives.

      @@carlgrimes1311 it felt extremely personal. I'm close in age, a couple years older and a lifelong basketball fan. It was like I grew up through my young adult years through with him. I've been lucky enough to be a ticket holder for many years so I've seen Kobe play live a number of times and it was always phenomenal.
      I lost my daughter in a tragedy over 10 years ago and the feeling is as if the bottom falls out. No matter how good a situation can be it never really is because she's not here. It's as if I'm working for eternal sadness. I don't care who tells me what time can do and when I get older, or any other God needed an angel bullshit. I can only imagine what Vanessa went through. My grieving was on display for the small public space I inhabit. Hers was the entire world. How absolutely soul crushing.
      I was also a daddy's girl. Born to my dad when he was in his 50s, I lost him when I was only in my 30s. I had him for the least amount of time but it was the best time. It's not been that long and I automatically try to call him when I'm making sauce and does he want any to freeze? The little mundane things. My dog ate a sock and threw up in the elevator or I hate my boss.
      Overall I feel heartbroken it was Kobe and Gianna and they were changing the world. Well, Gianna would be starting. Kobe willing to learn almost anything to better himself. Hard on himself for his team. Not backing down. The excellence he taught millions of people to strive for. The men who followed his footsteps to be a better dad, to be a better dad to their daughters. What a loss. It's the type of loss you ask God why not the other people who 'deserve' death but know it's the fault of something else entirely.
      When I lost my daughter, I lost my husband and sister as well so I have a sense of the extreme grief Vanessa feels. The loss of the love of your life is unexplainable as life is filled with highs and lows and there's good and bad at the least expected moments. Gianna's sisters will always miss a piece of themselves. Since my sister has been gone, it seems the memories I shared with her aren't real. That seems stupid I know but I'm not part of anyone's memories anymore so did they happen?
      An arrogant pilot afraid to say no? To take all the lives on board and toss them carelessly away. What a damn shame.

To elevate your own consciousness. For there is a room that should never be left empty, and that is the room for self improvement and for love. Everyday won’t be perfect, but if you’re blessed enough to last another day then you too are blessed with another opportunity to impact the world as Kobe did and will continue to with his legacy.
