Once upon a time there was a boy Then the boy became a teen Then the teen became a man The man became the legend The legend became the inspiration Thanks Kobe
Once upon a time there was a boy Then the boy became a teen Then the teen became a man The man became the legend The legend became the inspiration Thanks Kobe You missed one, The inspiration became one with everybody's heart deep inside.
This video is perfection. The title, Kobe narrating it. Still feels like he's here. I'm still in denial even after the memorial. My mind won't accept it
Kobe’s death was the death I’ve cried most over, he’s the reason I started basketball, I’m in a representative team I play 6 times a week and I love it. He will forever be in everyone’s hearts. He impacted so many lives and words can’t describe how much we miss him. Thank you
I'm a big basketball fan and been playing for a while, and while I looked up to Kobe a lot as a basketball player I'd never cry about someone I didn't know IRL. I did feel saddened though.
Kobe, I’ll be honest, I still can’t believe it. Growing up in the LA area, you have been with me my whole life. As a boy, you taught me what it meant to be a basketball player. As a teen, you taught me what it meant to be a winner. As an adult, you taught me what it means to be a man and what it will mean to be a dad when that comes. I haven’t cried this much in a month since I was a kid. It still doesn’t feel real. I was supposed to be able to tell my kids who that legend was sitting court side. I was supposed to someday run into you somewhere in LA and tell you that my whole life, you’ve been my hero... my idol. I will try to embody your mamba mentality and grow into a man you could be proud to inspire. Thank you for everything Kobe, Rest In Peace
When I have another kid and if he wants to play basketball or whatever they want to be I'm life I will tell him or her about two of the greatest players to ever play and to follow every step on how they became what they became on and off the court. Mamba mentality will live on forever I can assure to you of that.
SOMETIMES WE DON'T SEE THE GREATNESS AND LOVE UNTIL THE END. NOW I SEE WHY KOBE WAS SO LOVED NOT BECAUSE HE WAS SO GREAT AT THE GAME. BUT BEING GREATER AS A PARENT A HUSBAND A PERSON AND FRIEND.AND SOMEONE WHO LOVED HIS FANS. HE WAS WELL ROUNDED.
VegCeps What if your mom died? What if your dad died? Kobe had those kinds of impacts on different people. Lots of people looked up to him, and he made a DEEP impact in them. He was so important to them, just like how your parents are important to you.
Drafted in 96. Died in 20. That’s 24 years. Born in 78. Died in 20. That’s 42 and if you put it backwards it’s 24. His message is still with us. We miss you Kobe and Gianna 💔
It means he lived every single one of does days meaning he didn't waste anything and that's true even when he got rich he did a lot of great things in peoples lives that changed their life forever you don't meet a lot of people like that this days nor see a lot like that at all
That's the part kills as well. Man work his ass off to secure his family future and couldn't even enjoy abundance of time with his own family. Just heart breaking
5:54 the way he looked at his babygirl is so precious. the real gift in life is when you hold your babies in your arms and that’s the best high ever ♥️
@La bebesita, when a girl can trust her dad, it's the greatest love of all. My dad is in heaven along with Kobe. They're missed, but will never be forgotten for their great works.
It’s June 2023 and I’m still here rewatching this video for the thousandth time remember why I work so hard in everything I do. We miss you Kobe. Thank you thank you thank you from all of us, for setting a perfect example of true excellence. From me personally, thank you for making it feel like you were on my side facing life with me. 🕊️
1 year ago today, my idol and his daughter lost their lives, not a day has gone by that i don't think about you, i miss you, rest in peace Kobe. Happy Mamba day everybody.
@@Chris-rd9ui you know I think you're absolutely correct especially with how rare it is to find someone as amazing, talented and caring as kobe was. It really is rare. Most people are just afraid to be kind these days. The world needs more Kobe's in it.
kobe's death was hard enough. but losing gigi along with her father broke me, and im sure it broke everyone else. i really hope his family is doing well.
It's October 2023, going to 2024 I'm still here seeing you kobe, taking me back to all those years you gave to the city of angels, not on in Los Angeles but the whole world. Thank you. Dang Kobe you a Legend for ever
Kobe was a child He loved to play basketball He became a big child He became a teenager Then joined the NBA Got drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers Became an adult Became a basketball legend Retired in 2016 Unfortunately died in a helicopter crash in Calabasas California USA Remembered forever R.I.P Kobe Bryant or the Black Mamba Every time I enter my school I think about Kobe. I am a basketball fan and an NBA fan and a Los Angeles Lakers fan. I feel like I might cry now It's been a long day without you, my friend And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again We've come a long way from where we began Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again When I see you again Damn, who knew all the planes we flew Good things we've been through That I'll be standing right here Talking to you about another path I Know we loved to hit the road and laugh But something told me that it wouldn't last Had to switch up look at things different see the bigger picture Those were the days hard work forever pays now I see you in a better place How could we not talk about family when family's all that we got? Everything I went through you were standing there by my side And now you gonna be with me for the last ride It's been a long day without you, my friend And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again We've come a long way from where we began Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again When I see you again First you both go out your way And the vibe is feeling strong and what's Small turn to a friendship, a friendship Turn into a bond and that bond will never Be broken and the love will never get lost And when brotherhood come first then the line Will never be crossed established it on our own When that line had to be drawn and that line is what We reach so remember me when I'm gone How could we not talk about family when family's all that we got? Everything I went through you were standing there by my side And now you gonna be with me for the last ride So let the light guide your way hold every memory As you go and every road you take will always lead you home It's been a long day without you, my friend And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again We've come a long way from where we began Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again When I see you again See You Again by Charlie Puth and Wiz Khalifa. A Kobe Bryant tribute
Gianna was a child She loved to play basketball She became a big child She became a teenager Unfortunately died in a helicopter crash in Calabasas California USA.
Kobe forever. Thank you for the inspiration, legend! It’s mind-blowing how much videos like this help me out. Rest In Peace, you will always be remembered.
When it shows a glimpse of him young, then a glimpse of him much older, you can see a difference in his eyes. His young eyes are bursting with a boundless fiery youthful energy, whereas his older eyes are filled with so much wisdom, depth, and sincerity... Those traits showed in everything he did. R.I.P. Kobe 💛💜💛💜
@@wasd6287 jesus fuck man... 1) the case was dropped and 2) he redeemed himself. Helped the WNBA players AND the organization, he set up a great foundation and more.
Kobe Bryant: “The story would be about...transformation- of a kid looking inwardly, to growing up and realizing the power and significance of looking outwardly.” - thanks for the lesson. 🤜🤛
Waylon Jones it’s a yin and yang sort of thing. Can’t be all stuck in inward thinking. It’s the primary source of our power, but can also be the bars of our prison if we don’t also look outwardly. We have to use that power within and share it with the world to achieve greatness, just as Kobe proved. His life was a a story of birth and rebirth. Kind of symbolic like the story of Jesus. So often, many of us never rediscover ourself and then can get stuck in a cycle that becomes our hell. Kobe was the ultimate teacher by the way he lived his life. He used the inward discovery of himself (through asking questions) and used it as a tool of learning. He then expressed it on the playing field known as “reality” and became contagious to everyone around him. He showed us all how to beat the game of life. It’s how he became one of Earth’s legends and a master that will live for on for eternity. He achieved immortality, in a way.
See how the cameraman at 5:58 is fighting back tears. Must be because he followed most of Kobe's remarkable career through the years. We miss you Kobe. Rest well.
The way that baby screamed when she saw her father. Just an outpouring of love Gianna had for her father, and him for her. So sad. I truly believe neither one of them could be without the other. God knew this.
I read that on a reddit thread when the news first broke and when Vanessa said it in her speech my jaw dropped. It really seemed so, makes you ponder the concept of fate...
This is really heartbreaking, still can’t believe we lost Kobe and Gigi, lord knows they are right above watching us, RIP Mamba and Gigi, “heroes come and go but legends are forever” we truly miss you💔😔🐐
I'm not a basketball fan, I'm a Kobe Bryant fan. I now live by Kobe's philosophy - Focus, Work, Be Great, Inspire Others, Do Not Apologize. Kobe is the individual whom I admire and try to emulate everyday. Thank you Kobe.
I recently became a father. My daughter is 3 months old. I’ve always looked up to Kobe Bryant as a basketball player, and most recently as a father. I strive to succeed as a family man like he did. I ship out for basic training for the US Army today (2/25/2020), and with that Mamba Mentality I’ll make it through. Rest In Peace Kobe Bryant, we love you. I’ll make sure my daughter (and any future kids) know who the GOAT was. 🤍🙏🏻
fuck that man! its not worth it! goverment doesnt give a shit about soldiers - look at veterans! they strugglin! be with your familly and dont put your life and health at risk for those rats!
VANESSA ALWAYS LOOK UP TO KOBE IN ADMIRATION YOU CAN TELL THAT SHE STILL INLOVE THROUGHOUT THE YEARS IN ANY INTERVIEWS SHE ALWAYS LOOK AT HIM SWEETLY.😍😘😙😚😚
Here January 26th 2021, a complete 1 year since the tragedy. Respect ✊ Kobe forever, no one every dedicated as much time as Kobe did to the game of basketball. 🏀
The meaning of number 8: *power and vibrations of self-confidence, inner strength, and personal power, authority, success, professionalism, and wealth.* The number 24 means: *home, health, healing, security, love, beauty, comfort, relationships, teamwork, romance, diplomacy, harmony, family, companionship.* *These numbers fit perfectly with Kobe.*
---- "If I was not good enough, I would make myself good enough " - No wonder he was one the greatest athletes of all time! You were dominant and so inspirational to many people down here and there is no doubt that you will be as prevailing up there.
"Its almost an impossible task to separate fathers from their daughters that bond is something mysteriously awesome and can only be made from heaven"! God bless🙏all the wonderful Fathers and Daughters out there!!!
Just came back to this again for the hundredth time, 4 years have past and I'm still asking the why question. Never looked up to anyone like I did Bean, RIP to Kobe and his beloved daughter Gigi 💔 the world hasn't been the same
I'm a huge kobe fan boy I cried a lot once the news broke out about his death my condolences goes out to his wife and daughters and his family I will miss kobe but you will not be forgotten. I really wanted to meet Kobe Bryant get his autographs And take pictures with him I would brag about meeting my favorite nba player Kobe Bryant and get my lakers stuff signed saying thank you for being a fan sang from Kobe Byrant.
Turning 30 in a couple of months, I want to thank Kobe for being a positive role model for me since I was 11 years old. Big part of my life. Thanks Kobe
Since he died there is not even one fuckin day that i don't rememorate Kobe Bryant.As a person and as an athlete he was irreplaceable.Thank you for the inspriation Kobe, thank you for giving anything to a 00's kid.Whatever they say about you, you always tried to be better and more.
Kobe & Gigi: They lived together, they stayed strong together, they played together, they died together, rest in peace black mamba and mambacita, to the goat and the rising goat! You will forever be missed but never forgotten! 🖤🧑🏾🐍👩🏽🐍🖤 the love for you two...will NEVER die!!
Bro seeing gigi playing and then seeing Kobe smiling actually made me cry bruh. Just the thought of him not able to see his daughters grow and his presence damn man. RIP mamba 💔🕊🕊
Icy Jux and his little girls who won’t remember him and will only have the same videos we do. Fuck it’s sad man, I’m crying for a man I never met and girls I will never know. Tragic, they will know a huge pain in their hearts and their older sister remembers their father and will carry an even deeper scar.
I cried. I have never cried from watching something before. He was my favorite player and was taken from us to soon along with his daughter. I wish the best for his family ❤️ RIP. Kobe
The way he looks at his kids broke my heart, you know he was a good father. Gianna got took away too soon from the world. Thoughts and prayers to the family's whom lost people. Rest easy guys, you all were cherished and loved, now it's time to rest 💔😔
Trev Catronio He is definitely a Hero...his memory has not faded yet..His Essence, Spirit continues to live in those he Inspired and Motivate.. and this keep him alive!!!
Blessed with a God given talent and He took nothing for granted. He gave us his ALL. He left it all out on the court. He set a completely different Bar. With his own legacy on his own terms. God Bless Gigi, and all the other people who took that last tragic flight along with Kobe Bean Bryant. Rest easy. Mamba 4EVER!
I remember running into the house telling my mom that Kobe passed, and her first answer was “No he didn’t.” She was so astounded cause I remember telling her the day before about Lebron passing him on the list that night. 😞💜💛
I was in real life shocked was at work and just severed a customer Colby Jack cheeses which. Almost sound the same as kobes name and two seconds later the customer that was waiting next told me and I froze in my body was shivin al over in shocked
Kobe and his daughters unfortunate passing opened my eyes to the fact that you don't need to personally know someone to be positively impacted by their excitance. Rip Kobe and GG
