Kobe is not gone, he is just one step ahead of us, like always
Beautiful comment. Amen.
Whoa! Blew my mind with that.
One pivot step ahead but he faded away for the game winner……😢😢😢😢😢😢
Wew.. Dope..
Mind set, amen, thank you for this
D-Fish was underrated. Did a little bit of everything. He was never an all-star, but a solid player. Loved watching him and Kobe back in the day.
Agreed, him, Kobe, Pau, and Trevor Ariza was truly a gift to watch
Almost won finals MVP in 2010 too
great player and a class act
Don’t forget he went after Barnes wife
JP Rico ex-wife
I’ve had 2 nights of sleep on it and it still doesn’t feel real.
It feels like a superhero died 😖💔
PressCAPLOCK Fr, each morning it’s the first thing on my mind. It’s a new chapter of life without Mamba and Mambacita and it feels impossible to go on.
true same
He was a super hero
It Felt Like Undertaker Has Just Vanished And Died Out Of Thin Air
My SuperHero did Die.. Things will never be the same 😔
Fish's answer on why everyone is upset....Wow.."Something about Kobe reassured us that it is possible" (to be great)
U not lyin that shook me up! Fisher really answered those questions well very honest, have alot of respect for that 💪🏾
Kleo there is no right or wrong just your perspective , respect one another’s
@Kleo definitely WAS his and thee right answer!!
Derek Fisher is incredibly articulate and insightful. Not many people talk like him.
Very!
One of best if not the best words spoken I've heard since the passing of Goat Mamba ...
I'm sick and gonna be
Louis Tate I agree with you... Kobe himself acknowledges D Fishes contributions
@@loudiamonds6587 You are right!
Most snakes 🐍 are smooth talkers
Kobe, Shaq, Fisher, Fox, Horry. My team.
same brother
Same
Thats a cheap team
*Kobe Bryant 1978-2020* is something i will never accept and understand.
It does feel a little weird, like he's suddenly a historical figure
I still don’t believe it. Man the entire world took a big L
You..said what i feel. I can't accept this
I feel u
It just doesnt feel real . He wasnt suppose to die. This just feels like a nitemare. A never ending nightmare
It feels like we lost our Hercules, he always gave his all and seemed invincible.
D Fish was huge for the lakers by doing all the little things, defending and hustle , Kobe called him the president bcus of how he composed himself. And I’ll never forget Dfish hitting those huge rainbow threes when needed in the crunch!
Anthony 0893 Yaaasss he was always coming through in the clutch!
That buzzer beater when he ran into the locker room was one of the most memorable
Anthony 0893 DFish hit a lot of clutch shots to tho for them
Yup. All facts.
D Fish got the nickname “Mr. 0.4” in San Antonio in 04. Kobe celebrated that game-winning shot bigger than D Fish. I remember that game like it was yesterday.
An incredible sense of Grace and Humility by Derek Fisher! Respect!
We’re gonna feel one this forever. He has impacted the world more than we can imagine right now.
Interviwer: What can you tell me about the man?
Derek: Probably better than the player...
So deep!!!
Yes that part got me. And it was very deep.
Mamba & Mambacita, we will always miss you dearly
Kobe has impacted this world like no other athlete to be honest. Whether you liked him or not. It affected everyone! I think even more than Mj because of the social media era.
Dom K i never saw it this way but my man you’re right!
Agree, I've never met kobe but hes been my idol since teenager years... I'm still crying since Sunday 🥺🥺😭😭
Gary White yea I would have to agree.. deff cuz the social media era also but wow smh this is still crazy of course to all of us
You guys crazy
Naww mj had the biggest impact NBA wise and that wont ever change tbh
You know you made an impact, when people who didn't even meet you, people who only saw you one way, people like me who is not the biggest basketball fan, if such people are sad that you're no longer around then you made a difference. You did something good
I am sure Kobe is still coaching the 3 girls up there in heaven.
You know it 😂❤️
...and hitting up Dean Smith, John Wooden and Pat Summitt for advice.
You dont automatically go to heaven when you die tho
Yes he is we all will miss them
“What was your relationship with Kobe Bryant? How would you describe it?”
Derek: “I wish he was still here to describe it”
I felt that.
I felt that too. Wish Kobe was more close with people than he said he was. Sadly we all know KB had a select few friends that stuck with him outside the nba, and i wish dfish and shaq were still one of them, but instead he had his reasons why.
I saw it as I read your comment
andrew Kobe and Shaq had a reunion last year and talked it was on NBA TV
Oh yeah
The world has lost a legend. He did it all before his time.
Tupac-Until The End of Time
Even as a Celtics fan, I love Derek Fisher's dedication to the game, intelligence, maturity, and the way he communicates. I can see how he's hurting inside but keeping his calm and providing intelligent, thoughtful answers in such a very difficult situation.
True that
KOBE WAS SPECIAL AND HE LOVED YHE PEOPLE HE WAS AROUND. HE SET OUT TO ACCOMPLISH SO MUCH. HE ACHIEVED MOST EVERYTHING HE DID.
GOD BLESS HIM, HIS DAUGHTER, THE COACH HE HIRED TO TEACH THE GIRLS, THE BASEBALL COACH WHO COACHED FOR 20 YRS., THE PARENTS AND THE YOUNG GIRLS. ALSO THE PILOT.
GOD BLESS THEM ALL.
Previous month I was able to gather my first five figure wage ever!!! I've been working for this provider on the web for 2 years now and I never been happier... They are paying me $95 per hour, and the most desirable thing regarding this is the fact I am not really that tech-savvy, they just required standard awareness of internet and key typing skill...Great thing about this job is that I have more time to spend with my family. I am in a position to dedicate quality time with my relatives and buddies and look after my children and also going on family holiday with them very often. Don't skip this chance and make sure to react quickly. Here is what I do *explore486.com*
I think Fisher said it the best. We respect his level of dedication and don’t think we’ve given life our all.
I've watched both of their entire careers as a life long Lakers fan. I've never seen Fish look like this. He's in a lot of pain.
You are right. Normally he is just a dirt bag. One of the dirtiest players of all time.
@@thomasmcgregor4626 You meant he was fighter.
And if you think he was one of the dirtiest, you don't know dirty in basketball.
@Virgilio Marques nah he a dirty cheater. Overall a real dirt bag on the court and in real life.
15:08 “...We’ll still talk.”
Heavy.
I love watching these wonderful tributes but absolutely hate why. I want so badly for this to have been some crazy awful dream.
Perfectly said.
Jonathan Stroupe me too ♥️
So so true especially those 1st 24 hrs I was waiting on someone to say this was another media hoax my mother called me on the highway and I jys so happened to be at my destination bcuz it literally knocked the wind outta me jus to know kobe Bryant 41 yr old legend and becoming even.more great off the court this has to be one of the biggest tragedies in American history bcuz these guys are apart of history sports brings the people together giving us stories we will never forget it's like the his name and the word death don't belong in the same sentence like he's gonna walk into the staples center at any given time
Jonathan Stroupe agree😭😭😭
2008-2009 were the years that I would love watching the lakers and see all the ogs in my childhood. Dam he’s really gone 🥺
Lee St.Louis : yea I wished I had seen them earlier but I was born on 88. But at least I got to see them in a good time too.
Kobe, Shaq, and Derek 3 iconic Laker players.
Don't forget Pau
Odom
I remember when it took 0.4 seconds and he made that shot.
I’ve seen way too many hours of videos from people I thought knew Kobe best. Many other players knew the young Kobe, but Fisher knew the Legend that Kobe became. Kobe would be proudest of this video
D fish was the only person I ever saw kobe give up last second shot to he had so much trust in this man
horry?..harper?...knock it off
And Meta
Marvel J facts bro meta did hit big shot in finals
Kobe made us all champions.
His will power had us all captivated.
A real life super hero.
D-Fish is a class act. Well spoken very thoughtful. We are all feeling the pain.
This man was a true friend. The honesty in his words is transparent.
I’m very happy Derek mentioned the family first, because that’s what this about. Furthermore, the other victims need to be treated with the same respect.
Kobe and Fish. My top two favorite players ever. Probably the best years of my life, the threepeat days. When I had interests and passions. Now life is just survival.
Marcie Heacox Facts bro
Those were simple times. I can still hear the Laker announcer saying Kobe Bryant after he scores in that era. Better days.
Same. That hits deep man
Great interview with Derek himself. You’re just as much as part of my childhood the same way that Kobe was. So much respect. All love ♥️💜💛
This man Derek Fisher is a class act. Very respectful, straight forward, polite, easy to understand/relate to. I appreciate this video, thank you.
D Fish has always represented pure class.
Nandobun Escandon yeah by dating and getting engaged to a fellow NBA star’s ex.
@@ryhussle9401 What's so special about it? Some guys change women like socks, my neighbor has like 5th girlfriend now
Thank you, ESPN for sharing Derek Fisher memories of Kobe and Gigi. I know that it wasn't easy for him because he was Kobe's friends on the court and off. Everyone, miss him and Gigi, Kobe had such an ineffectual smile, everywhere he went she was with him following in his footsteps.
GiGi just wanted to be the female version of her dad
LeeTravius Mckay - Yep, that newborn will grow up and answer the call once she really understands just who she is. Gone be like the Basketball version of the Lion King
@@clharris7211 Nah brother, ain't like that. She can do whatever she wants. I just hope the family gets through this peacefully.
LeeTravius Mckay like Muhammad Ali and his daughter Layla Ali she didn’t get to it... 😔🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
IT JUST KILLS 💔 TO KNOW THAT'S NEVER GONNA HAPPEN NOW 😞
@@clharris7211 I'm going to disagree putting this kind of pressure is hard for a little kid, just hope their family gets better
Lakernation will always stand together, love you DFish💜💛
I’ve always liked Fisher. Just seemed like a good guy with good values
This has been tragic, prayers go to everyone involved in the accident. I grew up in a Laker household and I can’t help but cry every time I listen to someone speak of kobe. I feel like I lost a famous uncle I never met. Still feels unreal.
I really feel bad for the 2 girls that Lost their Mom, Dad, and a Sister.
I Feel for Vanessa and her 3 daughters .
Dark Day in L.A.
D FISH! ❤️
"It's difficult to process that we won't be able to converse about anything anymore, in the same way. Although...we'll still talk."
14:57
That’s deep!...we’ll still talk
Fish is a Zen Jedi - commune with those that have moved on from this plane of existence.
The Angel Gabriel came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and he said, “O Muhammad, live as you wish, for you will die. Perform deeds (good or evil) as you wish, for you will certainly be recompensed accordingly. Love whomever you wish, for you will be separated. Know that the nobility of the believer is in prayer at night and his honor is in his independence of the people.”
This hurts so bad...at least he went out doing what he loved, BEING A AWESOMETACULAR DAD! ❤️
My middle school teacher always called me “Derek Fisher” but I always wanted to be like one guy 😪🕊☝🏽
I live in Africa and know nothing about basketball, but I knew about Kobe Bryant. Even on a tv screen one couldn't help but be drawn to him.
I've spent the past 2 days watching interviews Kobe had with various people, and people who knew him talking about him, but this has honestly been the most comforting and heartfelt interview I have watched. I can see why Kobe was drawn to Derek as a friend. What a thoughtful, empathetic friend to have. They are rare. I cannot imagine what Kobe's wife and eldest daughter (the little ones are too young), and his parents and sister are going through. It's just unimaginable. I wish them so much strength and love to carry them through these very dark times. I'm sure Derek will be there to help pick up the pieces if and when he can. He seems that kind of man. For him to lose a close friend like this must also be beyond comprehension. It probably hasn't even sunk in yet. The only comfort I can impart to his family and friends, we hear you, and although grieving is such a private process, there is huge support. Lean on that support. God bless and love you always xxx
It was a privilege to watch him play .it was also a privilege to see the smile on all those children he touched. Great man .I'll still take my shots and say ...Kobe. God bless his familly .and God bless his daughter.
"the smile on all those children he touched"
Whew. That was a big fail on wordplay.
I keep watching these interviews and remembrances trying to wrap my head around it. I still can't believe it. My wife who has probably watched 20 minutes of basketball in her entire life was nearly in tears when she heard the news. I think that says a lot about the incredible impact Kobe had culturally, not just as a player. I grew up watching Jordan, so he'll always be number one for me. But no one else came as close to being "Like Mike" as Kobe. Mamba. Legend.
14:59 “although, we’ll still talk” ❤
Beautiful. Thank you, D Fish.
Hearing you talk about Kobe is comforting
Still doesn’t feel real.
@Joel Johnson many pilots flew in worse conditions
bro u need some time in the real world then... people dying everyday...jesus...everyone acting like they lost their momma
Yup😔 this is a tuff one not only for Lakers fans and SoCaL but the whole country and world wide.
@@jezreelisraelite4609 We don't know the people that die everyday. Everyone knows who Kobe is.
@@allanjohn11 plus, yall enjoy the emotional drama and brownie points from giving him a shoutout on social media....
Wow, Derek Fisher.. what an articulate and intelligent man. Truly incredible and moving assessment of Kobe the man, teammate and relationship he shared with him. Great take on Kobe's impact on himself and others. Very impressive and insightful. My heart goes out to all those that knew him, his wife, children and fans.
I cannot believe this, this is the hardest thing to digest❗️❤️Kobe #24 #8
Thank you for your kind words, D Fish. Mamba & Mambacita forever
Mamba for life all us fans love and miss you. The love you had for the game is the reason i love and play I've been watching you since i was 5 Rest In Paradise Kobe Bean Bryant :)
16:45 Derek Fisher YOU ARE THE MAN! I love KOBE like he's my family! I am devastated about his death! But know I love you for every answer you've given especially the response at 16:45
Best interview I've seen about Kobe, Derek Fisher has a lot of heart and that let's him understand Kobe.
I don’t agree.. tracy, gasol and so many others much better feeling… alot of this s CATS.. only talk for the camera.. where are they now??? Are they supporting Vanessa??? Nooooo only one person is Paul Gasol..
It hit everyone hard because Kobe was the epitome of the human we all aspire to be.
Jimi Hendrix yep!
Sooooooo very true! 😥😭
Yes! You nailed it. Through his career, he inspired me, all of us to be the best in our chosen professions. That's why this feels so personal, like we lost a close friend
Please speak for yourself child.
Much respect D. Fish. Praying for you also.
listening to Fisher makes me reflect more on life. thanks for the interview ESPN. he is so profound in his submission of the Bryants. bless up bro.
Derek.... the pain you must feel in losing your brother. Love to you and your family Derek...
Growing up in LA I wasn't a basketball fan but those few times I tuned in I remember watching him play with Kobe. They stood out to me the most. A terrible tragedy. Rest in peace to all those who passed away.
honestly i don’t even want to get on the internet for a while.. Kobe was my guy.. i don’t wanna see these videos for a while.. LongLiveKOBE 💔🤧
Never came close to knowing the man nor his family, still this hurts so terribly ... can't explain why, doesn't seem real
Kobe and Fish. 5 Rings together. Brothers forever.
LEGENDS NEVER DIE
💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜
Derek Fisher is a legend, his one of my favorite Lakers.
I wasn't a fan of Kobe's to start as I am a Bull's fan and MJ fan, but over the year's I grew to admire Kobe. Big hugs to his family and Legend's never die they live in every one of us even if it is just a memory and or impact.
Kobe’s passing is really taking a toll on me. I’m up at 4 am again and I have to be at work by 9. Rest In Peace Bean! 💔💔💔💔
nobody talks about how KOBE won BACK TO BACK "without" Shaq....took gasol..who had never won a playoff "game" and a bunch of average players and past his prime arTest to the MOUNTAIN TOP....3 STRAIGHT FINALS in the WEST.....NONE of the GREATS did that!!!!!!!!!!
Well Gasol was like Garnett, a player on a bad team till they found a better team. Gasol was great and ariza, meta, Bynum. Prime Kobe. Great team.
Right
I don't know why everyone forgets about Odom like he wasn't a starter coming off the bench... the man won 6th man of the year and was the third most contributing member on the team those years.
@@ajsneadii6765 very up and down....some games he would give you NOTHING...very dependent player...ok defender
Gasol was 20 ppg 11 reb at that time stop diminishing his impact
Wonderful tribute Mr. Fisher❤️💜💛💜💛 I’ve watched you play with Kobe all the years with my boys. Thank you!❤️
Derek Fisher carried this interview.... Who else agree ?
Sorry for your loss Derek... and thanks for sharing your thoughts with us...
He was a one of a kind person who I was honored to have as new friend. Met him 20+ years ago.
Best interview with a POV from a player / friend . Fisher was spot on !
Salute to Derek Fisher... I loved how honest, intelligent and straight from the heart he answered these questions and his response to why Kobe transition has impacted us the way it has was straight up the TRUTH!!! We all could benefit from attacking each day of life with the mamba mentality... Peace to the King, GiGi and ALL the passenger's involved in the crash 🙏
My Homeboy "Fish" from LR.... Always been a stand-up guy! Man the battles we had in high school. (Stand up LR Mills and the P-View Patriots!)
All around solid player was Derrick..you can tell he feels the loss of his friend an teammate Kobe
When Fish describes unconditional love and children, I agree with his statements and think it's a beautiful description of a man becoming a father. Kobe will be missed and we have all lost a great soul and I'm praying for his family. Praying for all that lost their life and their families. Thank you Kobe for your letting us witness greatness on the court and your impact off the court is incredible.
That will always be his stadium The Legend of the Great Kobe Bryant
Derek, what a class act. 👍👍
Kobe for Ever, Rest in Peace
We will miss Your Spirit. The Angels are Rejoicing
He made it so much more personal by acknowledging Vanessa, Natalia, Bianka and Capri one by one in the beginning 💜💛💜💛💜💛
"I think on some level we all feel like we haven't given our all or our best in everything we've ever done." This sentence right here by D-Fish is EXACTLY how I feel and why Kobe's death has effected me the way it has. Rest easy to those victims involved.
Derick fisher used to give me nightmares! Much respect my guy!
To the Bryant Family, my condolences goes out to you and the rest of the families impacted by this terrible tragedy.
I'm from little Rock Arkansas too and I love Kobe
D.Fish- Clutch shooter and analyst. Thanks for the words and composure once again #2
beautiful opening statement fish
Beautiful heartfelt sincere interview!
Magical player, fills u with joy and excitement when u watch him. He had the IT factor either u admire him and look up to him or u hate him coz deep inside u know u will never be him.
Derek's quote at 6:54 hit me right in my spirit
This is chilling! Great interview D. Fish!
So basically derrek fisher was like krillen and Kobe was goku 💪🏽
Hahaha I’m hysterical rn
Nah... Krillin is useless. Derrick was more like vegeta, or even a Teenaged gohan.
‘Fish’ is a Gift to Kobe’s Legacy and Humanity. May God Richly bless you brother, for your bold humility,, candor and beautiful reflection of both the balance and impact of Kobe’s sports and personal lives..
The Goat and his daughter will be missed 😪😢😭
When Stan asked if Kobe was an easy guy to play with in terms of the demands he asked from his teammates you can tell Fish was a little upset with that question. We should be celebrating Kobe right now not worrying about if he was a team player man! Smh.
I feel like he asked that question because he knew what the response would be. It wasn't to bash him, it was to let Fisher put that idea to rest.
@Achilles 1776 you can tell by mannersions Fisher aint like that question on live tv last night Fish stared him down going to break for commercial a little bit after that question n Stan was afraid to even look at him cuz he could feel the rage coming from Fishers eyes man im telling you lol
@@jacobsvetich8735 Derek Fisher did not like the question bro thats all I'm saying. Kobe had just passed in a terrible tragedy not even 24 hrs ago prior to this interview. Fish did ESPN a solid just by doing this interview!
@@robert2057 ok i guess you had a conversation with Derek fisher after this interview?? Also Derek fisher did them a solid?? Derek fisher probably wanted some screen time.
Spoken wisely. Thanks for the uplift, D. Fish!
Kobe had that Jordan spirit on the court and that's a fact!
This is so tragic can we give him a moment of silence ?
bless up Derek thanks for sharing your perspective .. respect !
