@@KimiJadoreI remember exactly where I was. I was sitting at the dinner table eating some chicken and rice, and then my stepdad comes into the room and tells us that kobe died. I said, who? Then he said kobe, kobe bryant. Then I was like nah. What do you mean. You mean kobe? It just didn't process for me that he would die. It just didn't make sense in my brain. Then I looked it up on my phone and saw on TMZ that he died from a helicopter crash about 45 minutes earlier. I couldn't believe it at all
I was buying groceries and then the dude bagging them was like “you know who Kobe is right? He just died” I said man stop playing and went on with my buisness but right when I got to my car I had to look it up. Couldn’t believe it. One of the greats. Gone in an instant. RIP
the exact same thing happened to me while i was working inside the grocery store !! i was shocked it .. started spreading around like crazy because it was such a busy day.. everyone in complete shock 😔ready in peace ❤️
I was at a nursing home with my grandma (she’s out of the home now she just broke her hip) and I was buying some lunch and the man behind the counter was like you know Kobe Bryant? He just died. I didn’t know what to say I’ll never forget that
This is almost exactly how I reacted too. Couldn’t believe it at first. Didn’t want to accept it. Then just held my head. RIP Kobe. Life hasn’t been the same since.

I remember hearing about Kobe’s death. I live in Australia so we were at a resort celebrating Australia Day and this was during the fires so we were celebrating the bravery of our fire fighters as well. We got really drunk that night and crashed out. The next day, I pop on to my phone and the news is everywhere.

I ain't even a basketball fan but this was big. Kobe was one of those guys where you just never thought it would be them, where you thought they'd be around forever. Never met the guy nor did I care for him but I will admit I teared up hearing this almost as much as I did when Steve Irwin died.
This gonna sound weird but I swear I cried when Dale Earnhardt died , I don’t even watch NASCAR , but I love sports in general, and the Daytona like Nascars super bowl , so I happened to be watching it , and idk what it was , I’m guessing it was cause I watched the crash happen on TV in real time , if anything I liked Jeff Gordon , so Earnfart was like his rival back then , so I always went against him , but when he died I was legitimately broken up about it. One of those rivals you hate , but respect. I’m a Packer fan too, so it’s the same with Randy Moss , T.O. , Warren Sapp, Brady this season , Cowboys in the Early 90’s , you trash them all day long , but when they gone or retired , you appreciate that greatness they always brought. Kobe hurt more than anything though. Kobe was never a nemesis, Kobe was the idol. After Jordan retired , I quit watching NBA altogether, only basketball I watched was College , Conference Tournys and March Madness , then #8 Kobe came and it was like Jordan rebirth, always told everyone , I wasn’t a Laker fan , but I was a Kobe fan. One of the best ever , and it hurt more than any celebrity death. And the sickening part was how the NBA never gave him his roses when he was playing or still alive , constantly downplaying his greatness , “doesn’t pass” , “wouldn’t win without Shaq” , “Sexual Assault” , etc, the Media always hated on Kobe , same way they did Iverson , yet only now , when they were able to see the magnitude of his greatness by how many people were disturbed by the news of his death, only then did they realize how special he was. And I would compare that to be similar to how I felt about Earnhardt , not realizing I only hated him because of how great he was , and the constant threat he always presented.
"The world"... So in some obscure corner of the Amazon jungles, there was one tribal member approach another to announce the sad news? In the deserts of Arabia, a Bedouin chieftain in his tent gathers the whole family to tell them the bad news... in the wilderness of the Kalahari, the Bushman calls off the annual Antelope hunt...for an official 3 day mourning period.
I’m not a fan of nba so I never knew much about Kobe, I just knew he was an nba player but damn when I heard him and his daughter died, I never thought it would hit me like I was a fan of him.
I feel the same. I was shooked when I heard the news. I don't even watch NBA or even a fan of him. All I know is that he's like a friend to everyone. Not only I felt bad about him, including his daughter and the passengers too... the girl never lived a long life and the other people never made it either... damn, 2020 is terrible af.
I always was a big michael jordan fan even though i live in Europe and my main sport / the sport that i love the most is football. I grew into all that nba stuff a lot of years ago because of sneaker (i collect) and friends of mine that used to play. So i started to play basketball 2 but never got really good at it. I still watch some games when i can because here in Germany the games are at 4 am. I remember how one of my best friends gave me a Kobe bryant poster/picture (mamba out scene) because he knew that kobe was beside mj my 2nd fav player. When I heard about that news i literally started crying. I couldnt even believe it. I was hoping a few days that it would turn out to be fake news but sadly it didnt :( The following days were also hard. You could literally feel how everyone at the court was sad. The fact that his daughter gigi died 2 just made it even worse A big loss for the sports and world in general a. Kobe, one of sports greats, a humble guy. Kobe Bryant STILL is an idol for every young man out there trying to accomplish something in life. Thats mamba mentality. Work hard and life will deliver
I still remember the exact moment I learnt of his passing. I was working and a customer or co-worker mentioned it. Quickly the news spread around the store and everyone began talking about it.

After seeing this on ig I went straight to Google and found out it was real, I literally felt like I lost a family member that day.
Yeah yo I’ve seen one about will smith falling off a cliff hiking, and one about Em in a car accident or something like that. That’s exactly what I thought at first, just some bs post being copied and sent around Twitter.
Bro I was watching the pro bowl and one of the commentators said a laker legend died but he didn’t say who until like halftime I thought it was jerry west or someone almost had a heart attack when I found out it was kobe😪
Literally got told by a girl at work when it first happened and was like how do you know? And she said Facebook. I instantly looked at her and was like gtfoh and laughed cause she believed something like that from Facebook. I was just casually on Twitter about 5 min later and slowly started seeing the tweets and my heart dropped to my stomach
I remember i was at the gym with my friend on a dark and cold winter evening, felt like we were one of the first to find out, we just watched the news spread like a wave or an echo in there, just more people lookin shocked while on their phones and talking to others, it was a weird and grim feeling. The feeling got much worse when we heard about his daughter. RIP to everyone on board.
I was on break when I checked my phone and saw the TMZ post. Everyone was saying it was fake and I began to feel some relief but then more sources said the same thing and my heart was crushed. RIP Black Mamba. One of the most iconic players EVER.
Facts I remember that when the first tmz post happened everyone posted it saying it’s fake then the story got updated… it’s crazy man I remember waking up the consecutive days like “damn Kobe really is dead”
But the thing is TMZ don't miss on celebrity news. I remember how they were kind of irrelevant many years ago until they dropped that news about Michael Jackson being brought to the ER and dying.
I remember when he died someone got onto the intercom at work and said “Rest In Peace to the legend Kobe Bryant “ and it sent such a chill into my body I was still for a minute
Man , I was crying all day at work. It's weird that all those who knows something about the universe or how it works or something dies. I can't explain what I am saying. E.g. Bruce Lee and Kobe Bryant. Both these guys knew something that other humans didn't.
kobe gave me paul walker vibes, when paul walker died all i said was " a pedophile is really being praised because of his movies rather than his real persona??? really????? how fuckin brain dead can people be looool " what happened to kobe was straight up karma.
I’m not really a basketball fan but I can appreciate what an icon and role model Kobe was for a lot of people and these videos always get me because obviously everyone has their time but to see someone who was so looked up to and had so much life left to live get taken so young is heartbreaking
Bro I just cried for like 2 weeks straight. His death hit me hard , he was my idol since I was 12 and now I’m 20 . Rip Kobe u still and always will be my hero ❤️👑
The fact he had to check to see if it was actually real, it seemed so unreal to everyone, I didn’t watch basketball much, but when I heard about his death, it made me sad for him, not for his fans, but for HIM and his daughter
Right same here... I was initially at a gas station when I heard someone say it. But ofc I didn’t believe it at first cuz we live in a world where anything can be photoshopped or made up. So I went to grandma house Nd then my friend texted me saying that Kobe died in a helicopter crash and then I jus looked it up for my self Nd saw it. One of the most shocking things I’ve ever seen.
I woke up and literally the first thing I saw before I could even put together where I was, was "Kobe Bryant dies in helicopter crash" I got up and spent 5 hours thinking it was some bullshit insta post,my lil bro came home from practice crying and everything since that incident has been downhill
Same shit. I can remember the exact time I woke up, 10:42 am. I got a notification from the Newsbreak app. My whole body got hot, I was hoping I read it wrong. I went on IG, and didn’t see anything on my timeline so I was like ok it ain’t real. Then I went to TMZ’s page. My heart dropped when they confirmed it.
I was out eating with some family friends and my friend sent me the text..I thought he was playing so I just said it’s a fake post..then I saw it on the TV at the restaurant..almost broke down in tears
@@justiny.burner5448 I was in my room on ft wit a little fefe, and my friend constantly kept calling me and I finally answer and he said Kobe died, and I said who Kobe and I denied it for the past 30 mins. After it sunken in I watched Kobe games for the rest of the day 💜💛
Im not a huge fan of basketball but there is something special when someones death can affect an entire community in the same way. That means that person was something special.
Imagine if we lived in a time when people respected all religions and (or at the very least) their people, regardless of if they think that religion is bs or not.
This event was like the catalyst for some of the worst years of my life. The shock of knowing that someone my baby brothers age and her parent died the way they did is still so heart breaking. Rest in Power, Gianna and Kobe.
My friend called me and I just kept saying Kobe who? Bryant? Kobe Bryant? Like my brain had to say it over and over to even register wtf he told me. Will never forget that day
I was never a big Kobe fan but his sudden death was just shocking. I think it just reaffirmed to all of us how death or tragedy can happen to anyone, anytime no matter how famous or rich you are. Something that happens on a daily basis sadly. No one is untouchable to horror and tragedy.
I remember when I just finished work and that was my exact reaction, I’m from the UK. Kobe was one of the reasons why i started watching basketball. To this day it still hurts to know he gone, I’m glad the lakers won it because that was definitely for Kobe and His daughter. RIP 🙏🏻💜💛
I know that feeling of disbelief man. When I found out the news at the end of my hospital shift, I was screaming expletives in the elevator non stop and spent the rest of the day locked in my room watching Kobe videos.
Got chills 1 year later. Never watched a game of basketball in my life. Still knew how much kobe meant to the world. Wow man, this just shows u how talented the man actually was. May his soul rest in peace amen💙🙏🏿
I was in the gym in la when it came on all the TVs breaking news. Gym was packed and everyone stopped working out just staring at the TVs all at once. A 9/11 type moment..
@Sal123 Huss You’re right. Kobe was a human. A great, talented human. So of course everyone’s gonna have human reactions to someone dying. Especially someone who made a big impact on the world.
This shit just gave me the chills. I remember when I first heard the news too that one morning. I cried for a week. I couldn’t believe it I didn’t want to believe it.. it took awhile to get over it. Never met the man, but growing up in LA it felt like he was a part of my life..getting teary just thinking about it and all those memorable games. RIP Kobe
Man, you can tell he was trying to hold it together. They’re all just vibin listenin to some upbeat music too and then imagine that news, that flips your whole day around.
I was playing Mortal Kombat 11 against someone that made their variation name "R.I.P. KOBE BRYANT" ..that's how I found out. I literally couldn't even focus to play anymore 😪
When I found out he died, I didn't think it was real at all because I saw it from a meme account, but then the post under the one I saw on the meme account showed the TMZ tweet and then my heart dropped
I remember I was at Disneyland and my boyfriend texted me that he died and I didn’t believe him because he jokes around a lot. So I googled it and I couldn’t believe it! I remember walking around and all I could hear is people talking about his death. So so sad ☹️
I was playing a basketball game with some guys @ a park in Houston. A guy passing by us told us the news and we all stopped the game and checked our phones in disbelief. RIP. There is only one who saves from eternal death he is Jesus Christ
I feel bad for the girl who lost her father and sister on the same day. I lost my brother to suicide and it still hurts to this day. I can't imagine losing my dad too.
Once saw Kobe at 6am just me and him walking on the UCLA campus super early in the morning. We looked at each other and nodded and kept walking. I always regret not saying hello and shaking his hand but didn't want to bother him. I was actually In Kobe Japan when I heard of his passing, it was surreal.
I’m not American, I’m not black, I don’t watch basketball and I didn’t (until now) know who this guy was but this video just gave me goosebumps and regardless of what you believe, what colour your skin is or what you enjoy in life...this is as raw as it gets when you get hit with shocking or awful news. So sad to see and hear. RIP Mr Bryant 😔
He was speechless for a minute. How tragic. The other day my mom mentioned how I had came running downstairs yelling to check the news. I was in disbelief tbh, was hoping it was fake news
I got this recommended four years after his death. And it still hits hard for me I wear the number 8 for Kobe because he is my role model to get better at basketball and to be a better person
I asked my mom for a Kobe jersey the day before he died and when I woke up and ate breakfast I saw on the news he died. I was so shocked and sad because he’s the reason why I play basketball and still do
"That ain't true right?"

Yeah yo I’ve seen one about will smith falling off a cliff hiking, and one about Em in a car accident or something like that. That’s exactly what I thought at first, just some bs post being copied and sent around Twitter.
I feel that. I was laying on the couch when I found out and couldn’t get myself to get up for like 7 hours
Bro I was watching the pro bowl and one of the commentators said a laker legend died but he didn’t say who until like halftime I thought it was jerry west or someone almost had a heart attack when I found out it was kobe😪
Literally got told by a girl at work when it first happened and was like how do you know? And she said Facebook. I instantly looked at her and was like gtfoh and laughed cause she believed something like that from Facebook. I was just casually on Twitter about 5 min later and slowly started seeing the tweets and my heart dropped to my stomach
I remember i was at the gym with my friend on a dark and cold winter evening, felt like we were one of the first to find out, we just watched the news spread like a wave or an echo in there, just more people lookin shocked while on their phones and talking to others, it was a weird and grim feeling.
The feeling got much worse when we heard about his daughter.
RIP to everyone on board.
Right before covid lockdowns.
First to find out? you know this happened in the morning right so your dark and cold winter evening makes no sense unless you live in Tokyo

Hi 🙋♂️
I was on break when I checked my phone and saw the TMZ post. Everyone was saying it was fake and I began to feel some relief but then more sources said the same thing and my heart was crushed. RIP Black Mamba. One of the most iconic players EVER.
Facts I remember that when the first tmz post happened everyone posted it saying it’s fake then the story got updated… it’s crazy man I remember waking up the consecutive days like “damn Kobe really is dead”
That’s Jordan
But the thing is TMZ don't miss on celebrity news. I remember how they were kind of irrelevant many years ago until they dropped that news about Michael Jackson being brought to the ER and dying.

Kobe was the only celebrity death that made me shed real tears. He was a legend on and off the court. RIP

I had to say Kobe and Stan Lee made me cry like a baby
Like when he cheated on his wife off the court
Happened 3 times to me . Kobe . Maradona . And Messi leaving
@@figuregod5142 Kobe and Chadwick Bozeman made me cry
It’s been almost 3 years exactly since he passed and we still talk about him bc he is him and his spirit will always live on 😢R.I.P
I remember when he died someone got onto the intercom at work and said “Rest In Peace to the legend Kobe Bryant “ and it sent such a chill into my body I was still for a minute
Man , I was crying all day at work. It's weird that all those who knows something about the universe or how it works or something dies. I can't explain what I am saying.
E.g. Bruce Lee and Kobe Bryant.
Both these guys knew something that other humans didn't.
I would have fell out if I hard the news like that. I was driving, had to pull over I was shaking
We all had that “Youre lying bro that ain’t true.” Reaction. We even looked it up and still said it wasn’t true.
2020 sucks..i miss kobe

That was literally the end of 2020. All downhill from there. I still remember all the RIP signs on the highway during my drive home. So sad.
kobe gave me paul walker vibes, when paul walker died all i said was " a pedophile is really being praised because of his movies rather than his real persona??? really????? how fuckin brain dead can people be looool " what happened to kobe was straight up karma.
This is so sad. I’m so sorry Kobe and to the people who were effected.
It’s been a year. We miss you guys 😭
We really miss you all
I’m not really a basketball fan but I can appreciate what an icon and role model Kobe was for a lot of people and these videos always get me because obviously everyone has their time but to see someone who was so looked up to and had so much life left to live get taken so young is heartbreaking
Bro I just cried for like 2 weeks straight. His death hit me hard , he was my idol since I was 12 and now I’m 20 . Rip Kobe u still and always will be my hero ❤️👑
When you remember where you were and what you were doing, you know he impacted your life. 🙏
I was playing Roblox 😭
The fact he had to check to see if it was actually real, it seemed so unreal to everyone, I didn’t watch basketball much, but when I heard about his death, it made me sad for him, not for his fans, but for HIM and his daughter
COBE IS DEAD ACCEPT IT HE IS ZOMBIENOW
Makes me sick. That’s how I initially reacted when one of my Soldiers called to tell me he passed
Right same here... I was initially at a gas station when I heard someone say it. But ofc I didn’t believe it at first cuz we live in a world where anything can be photoshopped or made up. So I went to grandma house Nd then my friend texted me saying that Kobe died in a helicopter crash and then I jus looked it up for my self Nd saw it. One of the most shocking things I’ve ever seen.
^wth...
@Michael Brown 😂
@Michael Brown 😂😂😂
HELL YEA SERGEANT YOURE WELCOME ....I miss the army😂
I woke up and literally the first thing I saw before I could even put together where I was, was "Kobe Bryant dies in helicopter crash"
I got up and spent 5 hours thinking it was some bullshit insta post,my lil bro came home from practice crying and everything since that incident has been downhill
Same shit. I can remember the exact time I woke up, 10:42 am. I got a notification from the Newsbreak app. My whole body got hot, I was hoping I read it wrong. I went on IG, and didn’t see anything on my timeline so I was like ok it ain’t real. Then I went to TMZ’s page. My heart dropped when they confirmed it.
I was out eating with some family friends and my friend sent me the text..I thought he was playing so I just said it’s a fake post..then I saw it on the TV at the restaurant..almost broke down in tears
@@justiny.burner5448 same but I had to excuse my self to the restroom cause I couldn’t hold it no more(not in that way lol)
@@adambruins dang bro 😔
@@justiny.burner5448 I was in my room on ft wit a little fefe, and my friend constantly kept calling me and I finally answer and he said Kobe died, and I said who Kobe and I denied it for the past 30 mins. After it sunken in I watched Kobe games for the rest of the day 💜💛
Im not a huge fan of basketball but there is something special when someones death can affect an entire community in the same way. That means that person was something special.

Love is when people who have never prayed once in their lives say “prayers for ...”
Right

Imagine if we lived in a time when people respected all religions and (or at the very least) their people, regardless of if they think that religion is bs or not.
And he playing prince in the background makes it sadder rip to the goats
Exactly, I was already feeling a way hearing that. But at least Kobe didn't die with funny business involved unlike Prince and Michael.
What song is it btw?
@@johanpalacios4218 prince let’s pretend we’re married
Watching this gave me the chills like when I found out he really did died.
ua-cam.com/video/m-30Jro6vRY/v-deo.html
This event was like the catalyst for some of the worst years of my life. The shock of knowing that someone my baby brothers age and her parent died the way they did is still so heart breaking. Rest in Power, Gianna and Kobe.
Still remember this day so clear. Found out when I walked into work and was fighting tears the whole shift. RIP LEGEND
Everyone was like Kobe who when our friends told us about the death... even thou we only know one kobe....
My friend called me and I just kept saying Kobe who? Bryant? Kobe Bryant? Like my brain had to say it over and over to even register wtf he told me. Will never forget that day
@@spcfl1461 thats how my friend reacted when i told him
Meanwhile me who didn't even know who he was : *excuse me who?*
Vitsel kobe from japan
I don't miss that feeling when I heard about it. No, never will.
Watched this video multiple times throughout the year and never failed to get chills
You could see the tears fill up his eyes🥺🥺🥺
Imagine having a wealthy, healthy, happy close family just for that to happen
Hope Kobe is doing well in heaven 🕊
ua-cam.com/video/m-30Jro6vRY/v-deo.html
I was never a big Kobe fan but his sudden death was just shocking. I think it just reaffirmed to all of us how death or tragedy can happen to anyone, anytime no matter how famous or rich you are. Something that happens on a daily basis sadly. No one is untouchable to horror and tragedy.
I get chills from this clip everytime I watch it.
Me too bro like it just happened all over again for the first time
@@ingodwetrust7648 yeah
I remember when I just finished work and that was my exact reaction, I’m from the UK. Kobe was one of the reasons why i started watching basketball. To this day it still hurts to know he gone, I’m glad the lakers won it because that was definitely for Kobe and His daughter. RIP 🙏🏻💜💛
Sad moment caught on live. Rip Kobe Bryant
A day we’ll never forget man can’t believe it’s been a year already
I know that feeling of disbelief man. When I found out the news at the end of my hospital shift, I was screaming expletives in the elevator non stop and spent the rest of the day locked in my room watching Kobe videos.
Got chills 1 year later. Never watched a game of basketball in my life. Still knew how much kobe meant to the world. Wow man, this just shows u how talented the man actually was. May his soul rest in peace amen💙🙏🏿
"That's not true right?"
Literally everybody's reaction who heard it first

I was in the gym in la when it came on all the TVs breaking news. Gym was packed and everyone stopped working out just staring at the TVs all at once. A 9/11 type moment..
Damn
U lot be acting like it’s ur fuckin family that died 🙄 he’s just a fuckin human who u don’t know just cuz he famous he shouldn’t matter
@@sal123huss8 Ignorant

You’re right. Kobe was a human. A great, talented human. So of course everyone’s gonna have human reactions to someone dying. Especially someone who made a big impact on the world.
This shit just gave me the chills. I remember when I first heard the news too that one morning. I cried for a week. I couldn’t believe it I didn’t want to believe it.. it took awhile to get over it. Never met the man, but growing up in LA it felt like he was a part of my life..getting teary just thinking about it and all those memorable games. RIP Kobe
Imagine dying and someone responds with "smh"
What is that mean

I was playing Mortal Kombat 11 against someone that made their variation name "R.I.P. KOBE BRYANT" ..that's how I found out. I literally couldn't even focus to play anymore 😪
When I found out he died, I didn't think it was real at all because I saw it from a meme account, but then the post under the one I saw on the meme account showed the TMZ tweet and then my heart dropped

Once saw Kobe at 6am just me and him walking on the UCLA campus super early in the morning. We looked at each other and nodded and kept walking. I always regret not saying hello and shaking his hand but didn't want to bother him. I was actually In Kobe Japan when I heard of his passing, it was surreal.
I felt that same pain
I’m not American, I’m not black, I don’t watch basketball and I didn’t (until now) know who this guy was but this video just gave me goosebumps and regardless of what you believe, what colour your skin is or what you enjoy in life...this is as raw as it gets when you get hit with shocking or awful news. So sad to see and hear. RIP Mr Bryant 😔
You ain't even gotta say the first 20 words bruh

He was speechless for a minute. How tragic. The other day my mom mentioned how I had came running downstairs yelling to check the news. I was in disbelief tbh, was hoping it was fake news
Same. I didn’t want to believe it, I thought for sure it was some kind of miscommunication. Still can’t believe it to this day.
While listening to Prince 💜

I was in Vegas when he passed, I remember looking at the TVs in the casinos and it was all over the TVs
Damn dude that’s rough. How was everyone around you reacting? Here it was like everyone was in shock for a couple days
I got this recommended four years after his death. And it still hits hard for me I wear the number 8 for Kobe because he is my role model to get better at basketball and to be a better person
Took me weeks to actually accept the fact that he's gone. I wasn't even this broken when my granddad passed. RIP MAMBA.
Kobe. Miss you Kobe.
This was my exact reaction I thought it was fake at first
I asked my mom for a Kobe jersey the day before he died and when I woke up and ate breakfast I saw on the news he died. I was so shocked and sad because he’s the reason why I play basketball and still do
Him listening to Prince’s “Let’s Pretend We’re Married”... >>>> the taste!
That's not the issue here
@@lolstuffenjoy9880 they're just pointing it out, the "issue" was a year ago already.
