Kobe was there for Gianna’s first breath
And he was there for her last.
Rest in perfect peace, Kobe & Gianna
😔
Such a tragedy:(
He definitely felt more worried about her than anything else😢
Perfectly put!
I I The fact that Gianna only died at 13 is so depressing she had so much talent to be a great basketball player like her father
we never going to hear his well deserved hof speech.. and that just breaks my heart even more....
Seriously, that thing would have been legendary
That as well but his daughter Gianna she had Kobe gene she could've of been an WNBA great which saddened me more
kareem ali that’s what I was thinking man
Can a person be inducted to hof posthumously? Mamba should be.
He probably wrote that speech already
We will miss you Kobe, but you’ll never be forgotten. To all the others who died you’ll be truly missed and never forgotten.
Darrion Hale people be smart this aint accident they done this for the choosen one
@@mikejones9906 Conspiracy theory freaks
Mike Jones maybe because they realize there about to be sued...... idk who that even is but the lapd has their flights grounded for the day...... Kobe should have never been in the air, so if this company you mention was in charge of that flight they are going to be very cautious as they just had a millionaire and his daughter die on their helicopter....
@@mikejones9906 PR dopey thats obvious and they didnt delete it they shut it down until further notice
I'm guessing they won't be reading this.
Kobe is supposed to be a living human being. Being alive is supposed to be a quality of Kobe. I can't deal with this
@@RobbieStacks90 lol, what kind of stupid comment is that? It's just a regular profile pic.
Mike Jones by who
Gang time LeBron James
Contract killing by LBJ... remember my words!
Why would Kenton kill someone retired
Stephen A looks like most of us Kobe fans at work or school today. Most of us have cried out and now we’re just sad
I'm still in shock. I woke up this morning hoping I was just waking up from a bad dream.
A lot of us grew up on Kobe. Felt like a extended part of our family/lives. This death hit a lil different😪
Robert Calloway 💯😣
It truly did.
Definitely felt like that for me 💔
i was watching kobe being the lakers hero when i was a kid. you could see he was the living legend, and he was a legend in the hearts of the people.
I actually grew up on Dr J...then Magic...then Jordan. This is tragic, but I was never a fan. However, his talent was undeniable.
"Heroes come and go,but legends are forever." - Kobe
Love Kobe Bean Bryant but both heroes and Legends deserve to be remembered..
@@KILLtrOTTcity he is really deserve to be remembered,a legends forever.I know him when i am just a childhood.I am a Chinese,he is well known in China too
@Jeremy Askins We all are made from Stardust and will soon be again.. I'm sure Kobe wouldn't want people to worship him but for his fans to remember him as long as they can and for his tragedy to remind people that tomorrow is NEVER promised only borrowed..so we should tell the people who we care about that we love them any opportunity that we get and spend as much time with them as we can..
@@user-lo6cd7jv5x I agree my brother and friend. I'm not taking anything away from Kobe, he is a Legend, I just think heroes and legends should go hand and hand..and trust me there's plenty of unsung heroes in this world.
@Jeremy Askins Speak for yourself lol.
Kobe had soooooo much left to give to the game of basketball and too the world..and Gianna...she had her whole life ahead of her..just tragic man
When Doc Rivers cried I felt that
Rest Up Mamba 😔 😢
Ahhhh man when Doc cried I felt every bit of that pain hurts!
Roczilla Carley crying 😢 all ova again
Watching UA-cam this morning is hard
SHAFT MOSLEY man it’s tough
Watch Brazzers then
@@Firstnameunknownfr bruh
First name Last name F*** Brazzers! BLACKED is where it’s at!
SHAFT MOSLEY there’s a lot of women trashing Kobe death. That’s messed up
Kobe influenced my whole approach to life. I started watching Kobe in 8th grade, now I'm 24 yrs old and graduated university, and I've carried his mindset and approach with me for all those years. Because of his influence I even studied psychology in order to understand the human mind and maximize my potential. He will never truly be gone because the mamba mentality will live on within me forever. I'm going to work hard to be the best I can be at whatever I do, and we all should. For Kobe. Never forget the legend. Mamba forever ❤️
Love and respect to you bro. Continue on ur journey towards greatness and cherish each day on soil. 💯🙏🏿
@@truthseeker8872 My man, all the best to you too. Strive for greatness.
Robert Ramos oh my god i just realizes that i chose psychology as my course because of Kobe. I also wanted to maximize my potential by understanding the mind 💔
That's Beautiful sir wish You the Best
Robert Ramos keep going man! That’s amazing!
Los Angeles will always belong to you.
Rest In Paradise.....
The Emperor forever.
Really heartfelt message and then I saw your Toby McGuire profile pic 😂😂😂😅
We think we're crying now, wait til the funerals 😭 R.I.P. to all who lost their lives.
I'm balling just thinking about it, wanna fly to LA just to be on the crowds 😔
Kobe you will always be the best laker. Remember he got the revenge against us in the finals. I loved kobe Bryant. My favorite player back then
He got us in 2010 lol I remember the feeling like.. ahh dammit Kobe..
But if anyone was gonna beat the Celtics that year, I respectfully say, I am so glad it was Kobe Bryant.
Especially thanks to artest.
That was a great series. I predicted a hard fought 7 games.
David hashimi, i remember your celtics got us in 2008 with the big 3, but that was ur year, we lost that finals pretty bad, i remember kobe devastated when he lost, then came 2009 and 2010 when we won back to back Championships in the finals and your celtics, for you to be saying that as a celtic fan, I GOT MAD RESPECT FOR U BRO😑👍👍👍👊
William Smith yea man i didn’t get mad at all when we lost 2009 and 2010 i was just happy for kobe man. Kobe was my favorite back in the days and will always be the best in my heart no matter what
Kobe was one of those people who seemed like would live forever
His death will never sit well with me with everything going on this month the day it happened, and how it happened💔💯
Long Live Kobe Bryant ♾🐍
Long Live GiGi🖤♾
What is the significance of the date he died ? And what events going on are u stating ? Political ? Is there any significance to MJ giving kobe a cigar out of his inside left jacket pocket too Everytime the met ?
Jeremy Vasquez He died the morning after Lebron passed him all time in scoring and I know they talked that night. Viruses are breaking out in parts of the world, Iran and US are on the verge of was and Kobe was on trail fighting against a pharmaceutical company for his name Black Mamba. His death wasn’t a accident 💯
@@WO2411 I wasn't aware of his conflict with the big pharma. But I do know people are killed daily and it's made to look like an accident. I myself believe it was no accident. The interview I seen had blatant subliminal messages. But then again I may just be a nut.
@@WO2411 I do however he used his platform against the president and our governing body. And with the impeachment stuff going on. People saying Kobe was part of the Illuminati and it was a sacrifice . Could it all just be part of the curtains being pulled over our eyes
Jeremy Vasquez Facts I feel the same way 💯
He was such a great example of work ethic, fatherhood, and community. A true icon.
Absolutely!
So used to your weird racially tinged comments...did someone hack your account
@@powderedtoastfacekillah734 kobe fans....
The bond between Kobe and his daughter is cemented forever and ever.
Heard someone say the saddest part is we had him for 20 years while his family has only had him for the last few..
Zenigundam your mommas
Zenigundam shut up dude
Zenigundam Definitely your moms
@@RobbieStacks90 lmao I literally see you trolling everywhere. Stfu, learn how to be respectful and gtfo of here.
Christopher his family had for him 21 years
Kobe Died Of HeartBreak B4 That Helicopter Even Crashed Imagine Knowing A Chopper About To Crash And You Look To The Side Of You And See Your Daughter Knowing There’s Nothing You Can Do To Save Her🥺😔💔
Omg💔
Just remember the good Times. Kobe wouldnt want everybody sad. We got to witness greatness
Big faccz, the reason alot of kids my age picked up basketballs in the 1st place 💯
You are right we have to celebrate him
Exactly!
it is okay to be sad but life goes on
@ what are you even on about
When you woke up the next day and realized it wasn't just a bad dream 😢
Imagine coming home from Kobe's hometown, just beating Kobe's scoring record, just talking about the greatness and influence of Kobe, just getting congratulated publicly by Kobe on twitter, and then you find out that he just died....
then having a lot of people ridiculously blame you for it. lebron's insta crazy rn. comments saying he got kobe killed with a lot of likes
It's ery mehn. God took him from us cuz he was underappreciated or he was just that much a competitor. Atleast now everyone will show him the respect he deserved.
@@kurobakaitou32 ish crazy right. If you were LeBron how would you deal with that.
kaitou kuroba I know it’s horrible, I don’t see why people would think he killed Kobe, he has nothing to gain from that
Kobe congratulated him and told him to keep evolving the game so those people are stupid. This is bigger than basketball or records
Poor Vanessa that house would never be a home anymore😭😭😭
For real she lost her husband and her baby girl in one day that's devastating
When you say something like that? Do you feel better about yourself? Your just gunna create a dead end like that for other people to agree with? Mourning is one thing, but it seems your doing it on purpose. Good thing you are not part of that family, or they would surely be as weak as you are.
Lofi Watts What are you talking about?
@@ronindecarlo9943 these comments are only written for likes
@@justjoshin6378 read his comment again, but slower
He was the Michael Jordan of my generation 😢
As a Jordan fan, I think he was the closest to the last of the old school basketball players..
Big facts tho 😢💔💜💛
Micheal Jordan never had the heart kobe had kobe was basketball personified he was a legend for more than just his skills on the court
@@hokagedlo6133 That's nonsense just Respect Kobe Bryant he's a Legend
james jones I mean he’s half right. Kobe was always the better person of the court then Michael. A family man, creating the Mamba Academy for young kids, donating to charities and just being a class act off the court.
Its sad when i hear Steven A. not yelling at his microphone 😭
A part of the world was taken away from us yesterday. 1/26/2020 will go down as one of the saddest days in not just sports history, but history as a whole.
I'm sorry did you forget what he did in 2003 must of basketball legend not a hero
Michael Michael stfu
@@Upper-cr1kh what are you assuming and/or indicated with absolute certainty he has done? Let's hear it from your holy perfect mistake non sinning ever in life mouth..? The floor is yours..🎤🔊📢🎚🎥🎬🗝🔑📡📺📷🎛
Maybe basketball cares, but the world? History as a whole? Not a chance.
When SAS doesn't say KWAAAAME Brown. you know he feeling down
Respect to Stephen A. for coming to work to speak today. Kobe would have wanted him to.
So far. They have the best and most respectful coverage.
GiGi and Kobe relationship was outta this world🤞🏾👨👧she had to go with her dad , god knew what he was doing ‘she wasn’t gonna be able to live without him❤️🙏🏽
God didn't take them though...so stop accusing him of such things
Tiger Hoods sometimes things happen for a reason
@@skolnation4206 thank you! I hate when these false doctrines make some wild claim like that. His daughter just happen to be there. No way she gonna survive that.
We didn't even get the chance to hear his hall of fame speech.
That hits hard. His nba career wasn't even over. When you are a great it ain't over till you leave that podium at Naismith HOF.
Another reason this hurts so much 😫😫😫😫😔😔😔😔😟😟😟
I didn't even think about this and now I'm even sadder my eyes are red and puffy.
He would've been inducted at the same time as KG and Duncan and I was so excited to see those three standing up on that podium together.
I was practice his fadeaway shoot 1-30 for me . And i was act like i hit a buzzer beater sảme like kobe when i hit my shoot . I was growing up watching him play . I was waiting an hour to watch his highlight cos of my dial up connection years ago....
It had been a year since I felt tears roll down my face and I haven’t stopped since last night
A lot of people feel like they lost family. This one hurts bad
😭😭😭😭😭😭
Waking up this morning. Still crying
I could barely sleep last night.
I don’t even wanna imagine how those kids and everyone in that chopper were panicking when they knew it was going down.. this Hurts. I pray for those families 🙏🏿💔😭😭
Kobe, Kobe, Kobe!
Everybody activate your mamba mentality! Reach out and grab life with both hands!
I can't imagine his last moments on that helicopter with hus daugther (other passangers) ... Can't stop crying thinking about you Kobe. We'll miss you legend 💔
은 한국에 있어Amine they were normal
@@flavioa6351 what I the world is Normal? And, how would one know what he was feeling or thinking unless he directly to them? And, if infact there was anyone he did relay that message to, it's a 100% "fact" they're not here to reveal a thing about it..
Heroes get remembered... but Legends never die.
still cant belive this is true
For as "tough" as I think I am, I'm hurt real bad right now. All those souls and everyone else gone too soon.
My Heart is so Devastated
I've been his fan for half of my life. Yet Here we are.
Rest in Peace Kobe and Gianna.
Kobe Bryant’s daughter Gianna was only 13.
She had yet to live out her life.
That’s the most heartbreaking part of the story to hear.
Imagine Lebron winning the finals this year and yelling “Kobe this is for you” I would be in tears. 💛💜
Not a lakers fan but this year im rooting hard for the purple and gold
Exactly whats gona happen!
August 24 (8/24) will always be Kobe's day for me
Blaksuperman88 you know... I’d love for that to be a worldwide holiday
@@betterthanMJF absolutely. It would completely make sense. What better way than to celebrate both of his numbers and his legacy.
Even watching these Kobe segments from when it first happened it’s still hard to get through them and not get shaken up & cry
That was beautiful Stephen A. We miss our king of LA
Kobe made the game look good and he made real Fathers look good as well.
Thanks Bro. 🙏🏾
Still I couldn't believe. Hope that these are all nightmares. 😭😭😭
Nah it’s real stay off the drugs
Why kobe tho??? Like this still feels unreal to me💔
LaKobe Ball there’s no why really it’s sad n tragedy but it was his time to go we can’t do nothing about it
Can't even imagine the final moments between kobe and gigi ffs
Don't forget the other families. Two more kids were on that helicopter with their parents .
Horrible tragedy, holding their children not being able to protect them . 2400 feet straight to ground. Dear lord help the survivors of the families
They crashed before anyone knew what happened. There was no final moments
@@flavioa6351 I doubt that you seen a helicopter crash ?
Cee double you yeah many are on video and not all of them are the same and based off of eyewitnesses there was no dramatic helicopter spinning. They literally flew at a mountain at 180mph. Death was instant before they realized
I know we can’t stand these two sometimes but you can tell SAS is in pain. Praying for the Bryant family and all the families. The world has truly lost a legend.
I aint ever hurt this bad before in my life man
Sad....heart breaking but wait until u lose a parent, sibling or child.
it's crazy, like losing a family member you never met.
Salomon Markovich imagine how his wife and 3 other kids feel man :(
Have you never lost someone in your family close to you I assume? If so you're one of the few lucky ones..
Your life hasn’t been tough at all then... the guy was a G and a role model but come on
Watching the lebron interview from the other night really hits hard. It could pass as a reaction for his death from LBJ its scary
For reals..
Almost as if he knew what was about to happen 🧐 very odd coincidence
I know nothing about sports, so I’ve actually had to research Kobe and his life... and I’m honestly in awe.. at his basketball career, of course, but mostly at his dedication and love for his daughters. This will be my impression of Kobe; as an unbelievably loving father, husband and man. I suggest all men reading this to watch videos him with his daughters... there’s something special about him as a father that I really can’t even explain.. my heart is with him and Gigi’s family, as well as the rest of the families of the souls on board.
We had him for 20 years. His kids only had him for part of that. The little ones don’t have a dad man. All they’ll hear is the stories of his greatness, and him watching over them. 💔 Long Live the 🐍
Kobe !! You are beloved around the world! And your precious daughter!
It feels like I knew Kobe but really didn’t. When I heard the news I had to hold back my tears until I got home. Kobe was one of my favourite nba player of all times. Then to hear that his 13 year old daughter was with him broke my heart even more. This is too much for anybody to deal with. As a fan I wish nothing but the best for the Bryant family and for the other families that lost their love ones. May they all Rest In Peace.
You will truly be missed..my favorite player of all time,an truly the reason why I started watching the nba..thank you for the moments..I will cherish each an every one..rest up young king...your legacy will live forever..🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿💔💔💔
I am about to run my usual 5 miles before work...I never was like that until you died, I sobered up and realized what I needed to do to better myself like you did every single day. Coming up on 4 years sober now, and I miss you Kobe, thank you for making me a better man in all aspects of my life.
Kobe really felt like family to me
Yesterday was one of the worst days of my life I can’t make this up 😣
Start a new life. Maybe become a sensitive, caring individual, looking out for others and getting along with people. Kind of the opposite of the late Mr. Bryant...
Develop a strong work ethic, be a leader, own and run a respectable e-commerce & product brokerage business, hug some family & friends, leave a legacy worth leaving......
cw @@petew.7870 But the leadership, ownership and legacy was all about a game--a rubber ball through a peach basket by men in loose underwear. All done with so much lack of collegiality, so much extra hubris that the pilot went to near-certain death rather than tell him to sit in traffic.
We should build light rail for everyone in California, lightning-fast trains (and outlaw personal helicopters). We can name it Kobe.
First Nipsey, then Kobe... my heart goes out to Los Angeles! We are losing too many our Kings!
I still remember watching his last game, it really brought me to tears watching his last game and now knowing he’s dead... unbelievable, why does this happen to the best?! Rest In Peace as well to his daughter Gianna and the rest that were there💔😭😖 💛💜
Stephen A, that was the best Kobe speech i've ever heard. Thank You man, i needed it. Brought tears to my eyes man.
Rest in Peace Kobe Bryant, Gianna Bryant (13), John Altobelli, Keri Altobelli, Alyssa Altobelli (13), Sarah Chester, Payton Chester (13), Christina Mauser, Ara Zobayan
Prayers to all the families
I don’t think anyone has spoken as beautifully on the death if kobe as Stephen A. has. You can hear and feel the genuine love he had for Kobe. Moves me to tears every time.
Heroes get remembered but legends never die 🙏🏽 kobe my favorite player of all time please rest well because you’re legacy on this planet will be continued. Go run the court with wilt up there mamba 🐐X🐍
I swear I’m at the doctors waiting to be seen and I’m crying yo.. It’s just tears won’t stop falling whenever I hear/ think about this tragedy.. I’m not even that close to theses people and I’m devastated so imagine how their friends and love ones are feeling fo the people who lost their life😢😢😢😢
Mr. James I’m at work and can’t focus on anything but this so I feel you
Same brother. I feel you. We all didn’t know him personally. But we all grew up watching him play and he gave us memories that we will never forget
Kobe Bryant Is My Favorite Basketball Player Ever And It Hurts Me On a Level Like Never before
Kobe u have many many people on the corners of this earth tearing up for you my man,
That’s the impact you had on people you where a true inspiration!!!
And the true true definition of a REAL CHAMPION. 💜💛
Luv ya brother 💜
He did more in his 41 years than anyone reading this can ever even attempt to do.
We will remember you forever legend.
I see what your tryna say but...
A sad falcons Fan *you’re
You don't know that man and Kobe wouldn't approve this statement in my opinion.. Kobes a Legend but there are many unsung heroes in this world that never get any praise pubically so you don't have to take away from them just to remember Kobe Bean Bryant!!
💜☄💛☄💜☄💛☄💜
I cried for the 1st time in 2 years last night this shook me to my core. Kobe wad the reason i started watching basketball. Sports fan or not this was the loss of a family member. I will never understand why this happen. The world lost a genuine and humble person. Long live kobe and gianna, lakers forever.
Lakers fan, but the way kobe played and personality drew me in. i started watching nba during the 2000-01 season. The first game i watched was a regular season game against indiana. It was a comeback victory but i fell in love with the game and the team but being a shorter kid i wanted to be a point guard. So kobe immediately became my favorite player i watched game whenever i could the rest of the season then they won the championship. Ive been a diehard laker fan since even after shaq left the 07 and 09 championships. The achilles tear, and the slump of losing seasons. I cried the night after his final game too because for the final 16 years of his career i got to watch a career the show anything was possible and personified class and excellence a person who became more than the game became and inspiration to work hard for dreams and lived life to the fullest . To me laker basketball was more than games played wins or losses championships its more of a culture and the players once the don purple and gold are family forever. Kobe strove for excellence and demanded it. Off the court he was humble grateful and basketball was never a job it was fun and people could see it. That kind of mentality has molded the next generation and will inspire future generations.
We will never forget you Kobe. Thank you for all the great qualities you embodied. Still doesn’t feel real. Such a terrible tragedy, heart goes out to all the families
It is too much.. Cant stop crying everytime i see kobe and gianna's picture it is such a sweet father and daughter bond.. That end in a senseless death. Rest in peace to all the victim 😢 we will miss you mamba forever 😢
Legends will always be remembered in our hearts.
Kobe will never be forgotten
This is so surreal and i can't believe he went out like this.
Kobe was the toughest most dominate man we’ve ever seen he was like Superman to us, untouchable and unbreakable by anything thrown his way and the fact he’s gone is unbelievable.
Man I'm grieving so hard rn!! I love you Kobe!!!
Kobe for me was my Mentor ...Idol...Drive.. Motivator..... literally sick to my stomach ..feels like a piece of me was taken Kobe ..😭😭😭😣😣 I cant began to imagine what Vanessa is feeling losing both her Husband and Child ...How does this happen such a lost is to great to bare ..for me @the moment.... prayers for the Bryant family ..😭😭
This video better not get a dislike
I will always keep that Mamba mentality he will always be in my heart
I will never forget Kobe Bryant rest in peace.
Kobe did so many amazing things on the court but he was destined to do even greater things in this world. What a loss for everyone...
There was something so uplifting about you. You made people want to be the best version of themselves. To me, that's the definition of greatness. You truly made your mark in this world Kobe, you made it a better place and you will be truly missed. Your inspiration will live on. Rest in peace..
I can’t stop crying ... LOVE YOU KOBE FOREVER
Mamba forever ✊😔
R.I.P. (Rest in power)
Kobe was one in a billion. The epitome of what a great human being is supposed to be. I will remember him forever. Prayers to the Bryant family and the other passengers on the helicopter, they lost someone too. Just an absolute tragedy!
You will never be forgotten Kobe B....
Cried last night, being a father this broke me. Everything I see I can’t help but tear up
I just get why? I'm so hurt man, I love kobe and he made me believe in myself when I knew I couldn't keep going. I'll never forget him. Mamba 4 life
A True Legend! Speechless. Rest in Power Kobe and Gigi
In our memories...thank you Kobe.
The NBA Will Never Be The Same Forever Missed Kobe and Daughter Gigi and Others on board Legends Forever Forever Missed Love you Kobe 😭😭🙏🏾🙏🏾
He will live forever in our hearts and in history. Sign the petition for immortalizing Kobe by making him the NBA logo.
This will take me a long time to get over. I don’t think i ever will.
Watching Doc's tearful press conference was like a punch in my guy
Kobe inspired a lot of people and it's sad to see him gone. Rest In Peace Kobe & Gianna
This is indescribable...and just so heart breaking...every day ..😢💔
I pray for all the families...
💓❤️💟💝💕🙏🏿💕💝💟❤️💓
Still crying as I watch this it just don’t seem real💔💔💔💔
Words cannot express how deeply saddened I am. I didn't know how much this man meant to me. He may be gone but he will live on forever in our hearts. I will keep crying and praying for him and his daughter. I will pray for the Bryant family and all the victims lost in this tragedy. REST IN PARADISE.
