His biggest legacy will be off the court. We know he brought purple and gold excellence to the city of angels, he made wishes come true RIP KOBE AND GIANNA
I agree. He is very approachable and downhearted. When Kenny Smith asked Kobe to play a basketball game in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina he immediately said yes. Because he said yes 25 other NBA superstars including Kevin Garnett also said yes. Kobe is so competitive but he is also humble and approachable. Lebron James Carmelo Anthony Trae Young Luca Dincic Dwayne Wade among others did not only have great respect to Kobe in the playing court but also outside the court. RIP Kobe Gigi and the 7 others who died in the heli crashed.
Grateful to Kobe that he granted my wife Crystal's Make a Wish! Left an incredible impression on her that will remain the rest of her life! One thing they didn't mention is that Crystal is an artist and did the art piece shown during her interview. She sent it to Kobe and he signed and returned it to her.
I'm glad your wife is healthy and happy. Congrats to you both. I hope you named one of those kids, Kobe.
Oh wow. That's great crystal is such an inspiration. Also I Love the artwork.
Who else is binge watching Kobe's interviews like me? I still cannot believe he has died, much less his beautiful daughter, I am still lost for words
Today all day long. I couldn't stop watching.It's been a month.I cried with no warning 4 or 5 times today.
Mee too! Still can't believe it and always have to cry when I see him on a screen.
A wealthy man enriches his own life; a successful man enriches the lives of all those who know him.
I met Kobe Bryant 4 different times in Los Angeles on a security detail. He was a gentlemen and a amazing human being. RIP Kobe
I wonder how these people feel today after they had the opportunity to meet Kobe in their life
Keep in mind, these 200+ Wishes that he has granted is just part of all the things he has done off the court. Many stories have been coming out this past week of all the similar kinds of things he's done but he requested that there be no PR involved.
Damn he did so much good just out of the kindness of his heart. The man was worth $500 million and could do nothing for the rest of his life but he chose to spend his last few years helping and inspiring people in any way he could, especially children. A true legend and hero. His inspiration and legacy will live on for generations. Thank you Kobe!!
@@jimmy_butler It's natural and understandable. But if you're lucky, one day you get to a point in your life where you realize the greatest gift you can ever receive in life is the joy of helping others.
Just heard the news. I think I can speak for everyone in saying you will be perpetually missed. Such an incredible person that gave us all so much. RIP Kobe Bryant
He probably loved his fans more than the game.
He appreciated they spent their hard earned money to go see him amd that's enough for me.
At some point bro did get some humility....... beautiful.... still he’s the Mumaba
I wish it didn’t take such a tragic loss for me to see how amazing a person Kobe was. Growing up as a fan of the game I realized the impact he had (and has) on the basketball/sports world. Admittedly, Kobe was far from being my favorite player. Mostly due to the fact that my idol, Kevin Garnett, was so often bested by Kobe and his Laker teams in the late 90s to mid 2000s. But, I always respected him. Kobe’s passion and love for the game was so apparent. Even as a child that was something I admired deeply and drew inspiration from. Not dissimilar to millions of others I am sure.
It is now blatantly obvious to me that Kobe’s impact extends to incredible lengths; those which reach far beyond the hardwood. The moment I heard of his passing my heart sank. Initially, it was surprising to me just how deeply it affected me. I thought there’s no way. Something like this couldn’t possibly happen to someone like Kobe. I could not stop crying and still now find it hard to fight back the tears. And then the news broke that his daughter, Gianna, was also involved in the crash. I was completely devastated. For someone to lose their life, in any way, at 41 is hard to comprehend. But at only 13? Down right doesn’t feel fair.
As someone who never had the opportunity to meet him, I find myself becoming obsessed with wanting to learn more about who he was. It’s been a nonstop consumption of following news coverages, watching old interviews and features, reading about his passion for storytelling, and, of course, learning just how involved he was as a father; something it appears he took great pride and joy in. Hearing from those who knew him best reinforces the fact that we’ve all lost a special human being.
It truly breaks my heart that Kobe is gone. The complete suddenness and unexpected nature of this tragedy is leaving us all a little empty. I pray for his family and the families of the other victims. Nothing will ever be the same for them, but I hope that somehow, someway, they find the strength and support to carry through.
Rest In Peace, Kobe.
Rest In Peace, Gianna.
Rest In Peace to the other seven victims. None shall be forgotten.
You are all so deeply loved and will be missed tremendously.
Me 2...😢😢😢😢😢😢..I was sleep on bro and I’m 47 I’m from Gary,in next to Chicago I’m Michael Jordan allllll day.... but Kobe...wow what and great human being and Great ball player...#8,24😢😔🙏🏿
RIP "The Black Mamba", loving father, legendary basketball player, most importantly...the most caring person. You will be missed (1978-2020)
I'm not his fan and i don't know him that much..i didn't know he was that famous in basketball..i'd just heard from a friend in America eventually his fan, but when i heard the news of his passing i asked my husband right away, Who is kobe bryant? he said kobe is a legend in basketball, but when i watched all his videos after his passing i hardly can't help of crying and very sad of his passing..only now i know how he was one of a kind but also very nice and very kind person..I instantly put in my mind that God wants him to be in His side this kind of person..kobe contributes a lot of good things and deeds to those people loved him..Kobe reminds us of being nice to everyone and live life to the fullest..enjoy of what you think is good .. Bye Kobe 😭😭😭
I'm going through the same thing. I knew of him as a baseball player and that he was good. Being that I'm not a fan of any sport, I didn't follow him. But baby, since his death, I've been watching video after video and I've found myself falling in love with the "man".
@@toriaferguson4206 me too..can't help not to be sad of his passing..if we could back the time when he was alive i would be able to see him more alive 😭😭😭
Same. I mean I knew of him but didnt know him especially how good of a person he was to his fans and others in general
Rest In Peace Kobe.. From Indonesia.. We Love You..
@@paulthomas9911 A Thousands Love from Indonesia.. May God make us better and stronger than before..
Whomever is planning Kobe's public memorial needs to have someone from Make a Wish or one of the families he met talk about this!!
And people call him selfish smh ..keep it up Kobe !
Oscar Patino, alot of time ppl will call you things or judge you, because they don't know you, & a rumor or a lie about you helps them to believe things about you out of jealousy or envy, & they really don't know you or haven't met you, there's no excuse for ignorance & you won't be able to figure it out
How is he meant to keep it up for god sake he did his very best n now he is dead
Me in 2050 shooting something in the trashcan “ kobeeee”
son: who’s that ?
me: sit ur ass down and lemme tell u a story of a legend
100% gonna be me someday. My future kids are gonna ask about my framed Kobe poster and I'm gonna tell them the story of that man in the early 2000's who inspired my love of the game.
What saddens me is that he won't be able to continue this for those who wanted to see him as their make a wish 😢 💔
Watching this made me think about the time I met Kobe in 2007. I was an esthetician and went for an interview at a spa in a prestigious hotel in Dallas. After the spa manager gave me the "sorry, you don't have enough experience" speech, I got on the elevator to leave. The elevator stopped on the next floor down, the doors opened, and there stood Kobe Bryant.
As we were going down the elevator, Kobe sensed that something was wrong with me. With his head tilted to the side, he looked at me and asked, "Are you okay?" I responded, "Yes. Why do you ask?" He said, "Because you're not smiling so I figured something must be wrong."
I told him about what had just happened and he said, "Never give up on your dreams. Keep going. Keep pushing and everything's going to work out for you."
I smiled and said, "Thank you for that." Honestly, I was very surprised that he would say anything to me because he was a mega star. But, he didn't stop with just speaking. He showed genuine concern and was completely unaffected by his celebrity status.
Instead of draining the world of energy, Kobe poured so much positive energy into the world. His passing has left a huge void that so many of us can feel. He has inspired me to be my best self and to be a light for others by pouring more positivity into the world. I hope others do the same because we have a huge void to fill.
RIP Kobe, Gianna, and everyone who was on that helicopter. Vanessa, his daughters, and all the other surviving family members are in my prayers.
Jackie Robinson said the value of a life is the impact it has on others. Great job Kobe.
I can’t believe he’s gone now, I’m so sad. RIP Kobe, Gianna, and the other 7.
Philip John - I pray that all 9 of them are in heaven standing in front of Jesus!
RIP to this beautiful soul and his daughter.
RIP to everyone on that fateful flight as well.
Live everyday as if it’s your last.💔
I think putting all of Kobe's celebrity aside he was a caring, humble & loving soul and that's why he was loved by all who knew him!
We didn’t just lose a basketball legend. We lost a humanitarian
Can't hold my tears..still can't beleive you're gone.
Truly a national treasure, in life and after his passing. I have no doubt his wife and daughters will continue to keep his legacy alive. ❤
So thankful tjat Kobe Bryant did all these acts of kindness, I love Kobe, a Spurs fan, but have much respect to players that use their stage and voice for good its so wonderful to see this, thanks Kobe, may God, our lady of Guadalupe and all the Saints and Angels bless all of you
Kobe made so many wishes come true as an ambassador of the foundation. I’ve come here to say thank you and we will miss you Kobe you were loved my man. X
You know they all cried when he passed away tragically. Dont even want to imagine
I cannot image the heartbreak all the fans felt that day and now when he died.
Wow someone so great just dies like that unbelievable
Awww he gave the guy in red three handshakes that's how you know he's a genuine dude
I've all ways loved Kobe but he retired😭 he put the lakers on the path to victory
What a wonderful and giving man. I think the only thing bigger than his basketball career was his heart. Bless Kobe and Gianna in heaven.
Kobe will live on through the millions of lives he's touched.
It's amazing seeing other races embracing this brother ✊🏽💪🏽 He has an amazing SPIRIT 🙏🏿
We can’t let go, we don’t want to let go. 💔
Thank you Kobe for the priceless gifts you granted to so many. 💜💛
I don’t want to believe that he’s gone😭😭😭! RIP Kobe! You’ll be missed forever❤️❤️❤️❤️
I feel like the best way to describe Kobe is a fallen angel walking among mortals spreading joy to the world
R.I.P Kobe
Welp I’m gonna go cry now 😭
Kobe a good man, loving father, the more we discover him, the more we appreciate him even more. Rip m'y favorite black mamba,😭🙏💔🕊
To all fans of Kobe, greetings from Germany. He was and will remain the greatest ever.
I saw him and he gave me a basketball and he gave me a chance to train and now I'm insane at basketball I hope u see him
I can only imagine how his transition to being a parent doing make a wish has definitely changed the impact on kobe
Because was so extraordinary that’s why we love him so much.. God must have a special place for him in heaven. Kobe is a God sent to us and if we had a choice we would not let him go... trusting in God that his plans for him are greater than we can imagine
He lives through us.
Kobe is a superhero
Please God, bring Kobe Bryant back. It's so unfair. 😢
I’m gonna strive to be the best me from everyday, that’s the only way my small presence can honor a household name like yours. Love you Kobe #96TilInfinity
Great job Kobe Bryant you did a very good job greeting those people keep up the great work one day you will be blessed for it.
Since the passing of this remarkable human being. I've been studying his life and I realize how GREAT our CREATOR is. He sends so many mighty, mighty remarkable Human beings to exist amongst us and lead us openly and sometimes we don't even realize what they are doing until they're departing from the EARTH. Salute to Kobe Bryant & May Almighty G-d Make his Grave spacious with light protecting him from thee torment of the GRAVE, Blessing him to enter into the highest level of Al Jennah (PARADISE)
Wadiyah Abdur-Rahim Ameen brother🙏❤️. Pray that may Allah SWT forgives him inshallah and Gigi and the other 7 victims. Yk what I love about you is that you prayed for him and talked good about him when we both are Muslims because other Muslims would see he’s not Muslim he’s entering Jannah which is not true because Allah SWT is the most merciful the most forgiving inshallah me and you and Kobe will reunite in Jannah love you brother and Ramadan kareem❤️ to you and your family. I hope you reply to this comment. Inshallah Allah SWT will forgive Kobe and enters Jannah inshallah with me and you. Pray for him as well. You’re a really good human being and May Allah bless you🙏❤️
Wadiyah Abdur-Rahim if you’re a woman I’m sorry May Allah bless you sister🙏❤️
Me and my kids met Kobe Bryant in 2015 we are so sad 💔 he died
I miss Kobe everyday!!!! The 17 was for you Mamba and Gigi!!! Thank you for the memories!!!!
He may be suddenly gone, but his beautiful moments will always be here with ours hearts! ❤
I have a wish I wish Kobe Bryant is still here and his daughter RIP KOBE AND GIGI
Yet today, seeing those incredible videos of him and his legacy, it doesn't feel real. In fact, it doesn't feel rigth at all. Rest in peace Kobe and Gigi.
U will always be in our hearts Kobe And All those that died that sad morning
man seeing this makes me smile because I'm sure he had spot in heaven
GOD BLESS YOU Kobe Bryant and your Family 😇🙏👪
Good Health always
I grew up a huge Celtics fan and I hated Kobe but I respected him then I watched the make a wish videos and he grew on me
This is long ass nightmare...it's terrifying ok..May I please wake up now?...Kobe can't be gone. Still unbelievable. I want to stop watching these Kobe videos because it hurts but I can't..I love Kobe. Thank you Kobe and RIP sir and Gigi. Keep strong Bryant's family and the other families involved
I'm on the same boat. And I want that boat to reach a safe harbor. And I hate knowing it never will... #MambaNeverForget
Strong enough to care. Brave enough to love. 200+ wishes granted. Awesome.
A world class human being.
My Wish is that Kobe could've had at least another 20 years to enjoy watching his kids grow up, have children of their own, and to be with the love of his life, Vanessa. Through his blood, sweat and tears, he gave 20 years of his life to the sport he loved so much. To have only three years post-retirement is beyond sad. RIP Kobe and Gigi💔
All I can say is WOW! Kobe touched many and used his platform in a positive way to help others. RIP Kobe much respect!
Rip Kobe 😭😭🙏🏽
If it wasn't for kobe Bryant I wouldn't have been playing basketball,
Gone but never forgotten
Rip Kobe
Thank you for inspiring me and others

Confronted with the end, some might wonder, what is Kobe Bryant’s greatest impact? Just hits so much harder now, thank you for the inspiration man
Dear Kobe: I've learned that people will forget what you said, I've learned that people will forget what you did, but they'll never forget how you made them feel - Maya Angelou
It's 2020 and Kobe is not in this world anymore. RIP Kobe & Gigi
"Your impact on other will always br felt..." thank you, Kobe
In 2008 my son was fighting cancer and he wished to meet Kobe the make a wish foundation made it happen. I want to send my condolences to Vanessa and his family . There's so much I want to say but having a hard time writing this down RIP KOBE 24
Thank you Make-a-Wish. Your Organization helped my Sister, her son Marcus Jovan Lee Warren had Cancer, Neuroblastoma and that's what he died of. Love you Marcus and i, we miss you very much. Thank you Kobe for giving of yourself, to make others feel normal!
There’s a place for people like Kobe....Heaven.
Oh Lord, Hope you have Him safe now..away from malice and envy...
I would do anything to bring Kobe back. He was gone far too soon. I just want to cry right now. 😢 -A saddened Bulls fan.

That’s why he is loved by many. RIP Kobe. Thank you for the inspiration.
Growing up in LA was hard. When Kobe and the Lakers played and won everyone united.
No race, no gang differences etc we all celebrated we became one..R.I.P Kobe..
All these people must be devastated! Kobe was a Superhero, an Icon & Legend!
I love you Kobe you changed so many lives for the better.
I met Kobe once with my 3 daughters and he was the MOST gracious, humble, kind and decent human being we’d ever met. We were star struck and he got on one knee and shook my then 2 yr olds hand and called her sweetheart. He was truly bigger than life and he was an angel on earth. RIP Kobe, the absence of your presence will forever be felt.
OCFam what a beautiful memory. Rest In Peace to all the amazing people lost in this tragedy.
RIP 😖😥🤧
You and your family have a Kobe Moment. You must have a picture with him. Thanks for sharing.
That’s a good memory thanks for sharing. GirlDad
@OCFam
If you did get a picture with kobe, can you share it here if you feel comfortable with it?
