A Celebration of Life - Kobe and Gianna Bryant 

Not sure who to be heartbroken for ; Vanessa for losing her wonderful husband and daughter ? Gigi for dying so young ? Kobe for not getting to see his children grow up ? The remaining kids who will never get to experience life with their dad and sister ? For Kobe's parents, siblings and close friends ? This is too much Edit 1: This is Kobe and Gigi's celebration and this is why the focus is on them. It doesn't mean the other victims are forgotten. May everyone rest in heaven.

"God knew, they couldn't be on this Earth without each other." Lord that hit me. :'(

That got me when Vanessa Said " I will never see my beautiful Daughter Gianna on her wedding day." 💜💛

Vanessa didn't have to give her eulogy, if she chose not to, we wouldn't have held that against her since she's still in mourning. But the fact that she took the time and effort to share some personal stories and insight of both Gigi and Kobe despite how much she must have been hurting says a lot about her. Keep being strong mama, and I hope you know how much we love you and your family

To the generation that yelled Kobe when they shot a paper into the trash.. It will NEVER not be Kobe

She lost her two best friends, the love of her life, the father to her children, the funny, caring, sarcastic daughter, the kisses she always looked forward to, all gone in one second.. it hurts.. and I’m a complete stranger never knew them personally and I feel sad can’t imagine how Vanessa feels..just hope the kids are doing okay😞

RIP to all nine live that we lost in the crash. We live you Kobe and GiGi. Much love to Vanessa, Natalia, Capri, Bianka, Joe, Pam, Shaya, and Sharia. Mamba Mentality will live on forever. 2.24💜💛♾

Rest In Peace not just to Kobe and Gianna but to all 9 and their families

I’m so disappointed that people actually disliked the video smh those people just showed that they have no heart

“God knew they couldn’t be on this earth without each other”💔

Listening to his wife talk about him and her daughter is a beautiful love story!💖📖💖

you can hear the pain in jimmys voice

I think the words and demeanor of the great Michael Jordan were the highlight of today's celebration. I really appreciate and admire Michael being so raw and open! RIP to all the beautiful souls who leave us too soon.❤

My heart shatters into million when Kobe died. And his daughter Gigi. I'm like no way. Why are we losing the greats? This man had just passed away at the age of 41 and the daughter at 13?? That is way too young to die!! Kobe and Gigi had so much life to live!! May Kobe and Gigi rest in peace. Long live the Mamba.💜💛🌹🌷🌹

2.24.20 the date of their celebration of life •2 for Gianna •24 for Kobe •20 for how many years he was a Laker and the years him and Vanessa were together

"When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a way that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice."

I loved how she said, "We're still a team. You have Gigi and I have the girls here."

Who ever disliked this I’m praying for!

Beyonce changing the lyric to “laughing into you” was very respectful. beautiful performance. Vanessa is so strong 💔

Kobe Bryant is one of my Favorite NBA Player. "The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do" kobe

Gigi was the Sunshine that set to early...

We love you Kobe & Gigi and RIP to all of the victims.

I hope she stays strongs for her girls, can’t imagine the pain she must be going through.

I just wanna hug her... Stay strong stay strong for them and for your daughters

Kobe lives forever in our hearts gigi was never meant to be seperated from her daddy lord wrap your arms around his girls & Vanessa that stay down here on earth mamba mentality 💜💛💜💛💜💛💜

Rest In Peace to everyone who passed away in that horrible and tragic day 💛💜

Bro why does 2020 have to start out like this 😭😭

Thank you Shaq for mentioning his parents! We would not be here to accomplish anything had it not been for God and our parents. Much respect Shaq and peace to all the Bryants and all the families that lost loved ones during this time. Love the "me" in Team !!!

“When Kobe died, part of me died” Even though it’s been 4 weeks it’s still hard to believe their gone. May Kobe&Gianna remain in our hearts 4ever 💛💜🙏🏽🕊

That was a beautiful service. A beautiful service for a beautiful man who was even more beautiful on the inside than he was on the outside and the stories everyone told today exemplified that. Angels in human clothing that are that genuine, that beautiful, that irreplaceable. Even after their time has come, they still never leave this world and they never will and that’s the way we will view Kobe until our time comes and the way future generations such as the ones he taught, trained, contacted and inspired will also view him and the generations they influence. He really was a Universal gem of a human being and if you didn’t believe it before, the stories that were told this afternoon made a believer out of you. That goes out to anyone and everyone who may have still been skeptical. Kobe will truly live forever. Legends Truly Never Die and neither will he. Thank you to Vanessa, the Bryant family and all their friends, to the Lakers and to ESPN for carrying, producing and hosting such a beautiful memorial in honor of such a wonderful man. Apologies, sympathies, thoughts and prayers go out to Vanessa, her kids, their extended family and friends, and the families and friends of the other 7 on board. The most tragic day in the history of American sports has come and it’s so sad to know that nothing can or will ever be done to erase it, reverse what was done and bring them back to us and I wish Vanessa, her kids, their extended family and friends and the families and friends of the other 7 on board nothing but the best of luck in moving on from the tragedy of what happened that can never be undone. It’s gonna be hard to do but Kobe will always be with all of them and will always be with all of his students and that’s exactly what he would want. Do it for Kobe, congratulations on all your success during his career to the Lakers and all the best to the Lakers on moving on without him as well. Do it for Kobe, congratulations, apologies to everyone everywhere, all the best and thank you for the time and the beautiful service. Thank You, Kobe, For Everything. RIP. Gone, but never forgotten.

Unbelievable how brave she was to just go up to that stage and talk. Prayers for the family

HEAVEN COULDN'T WAIT. RIP KOBE BRYANT AND EVERYONE THAT WAS LOSE IN THIS TRAGEDY. 💜💛

Dear Basketball...I'M CRYING 😭😭

I know we should be celebrating that Kobe lived, but am not ready. We are all not ready, it still feels unreal 😢

I hope the American people will always remember him. This is your intangible wealth. What he brings to you is not basketball, but a spiritual belief.

Vanessa is beautiful, brave, strong and well spoken! Kobe would be so proud💕

I cried when Vanessa was giving her speech☹️ imagine losing your soulmate and your daughter at the same time. Strong woman. Keep your head and prayers to you and your daughters❤️

MJ’s speech was incredible, I felt like it finally helped me pass this awful tragedy for the first time

I could not stop crying every time I watched it. Miss you Kobe!

I don’t know how Vanessa held herself together. I started tearing up a bit when she was starting her speech. 😢💛💜

Rest In Peace to all of those who lost their lives in that crash

Beyoncé a good person did anyone else notice how she was comforting koby wife and preying with her when Michael Jordan was speaking.

If you’re reading this, I hope your life is filled with happiness and charm❤️🙏🏽

The way his voice broke when he said; “What Can I Say; Mamba Out” breaks my heart everytime! 😢🥺💜💛

This is so sad. 😞 rest peacefully ❤️💕

Vanessa is hurting so much and being able to hold your emotions so much on stage is impressive. Vanessa is one strong woman❤️

God, please bless the survivors of all the lost love ones of this horrible tragedy with strength and courage to continue their lives. A new world without death will soon come.

"Walk until the darkness is a memory and you become the sun on the next traveler's horizon." Thank you Kobe, Battling depression and was on the verge of committing suicide, for some reason I watched this and hearing everything about you and that quote, the passion you lived your life with has saved my life. I want to be there for my little girl, I want to be the best girl dad ever, thank you so much for being the sun in my horizon.

Thank you Kobe, for everything you’ve done on and off the court. Although you may not be here, we will never forget the impact you had to everyone on this planet. 💛💜

I loved his speech, it was short, funny, loving, brought everyone a smile especially to the person who needed it the most Vanessa Bryant

The whole speech made me cry. I can only imagine what Vanessa’s going through.

RIP Kobe and Gigi, beautiful family stay strong girls

My heart goes out to all involved in this tragedy. Their purpose on earth was completed. I pray for strength for the family, friends and millions of fans still trying to process. My God thank you for loaning this talent to us for a short time. Its amazing how people came together leaning on one another because of Kobe. What a gift!! hopefully now hes in heaven hooping with my son.

Never Forgotten. Mamba & Mambacita will always be in our hearts 💜💛 RIP to everyone onboard

For all you saying why his parents and sister didn’t speak. They didn’t have to, you all don’t everything that goes behind closed doors so just mind your business and enjoy the service.

cried nonstop until I saw the guys face at 59:53 top left

The NBA net will be the same as it was when the black mamba played long live the black mamba we got it from here Kobe

Thank you Lakers for this wonderful masterpiece of a Memorial Service. Thank you for streaming this event so it can be made available for the many generations to come. I was never a Lakers fan but I had a lot of respect for Kobe Bryant in the game of basketball. May the Mamba Rest In Peace.

my heart hurts so hard the pain hurts incredibly for millions of people, but i don’t know how to explain of all kobe and gigi’s family 😭 i love both of you guys sm❤️ stay strong! rip mamba🥺 and a very talented teen❤️❤️💗

rest in peace all.

Kobe Bryant my favorite basketball player all my friends

This really tears my heart knowing that my only idol has passed away and all I ever wanted was to meet him and thank him for letting me love the lakers and the sport of basketball

Beyonce was so respectful she changed the lyrics from "crashing into you" To "laughing into you" Because she knew they crashed so she didn't want to say crashing into you and that "we don't have forever" Part hit different rip kobe and gigi mamba out🙏🧡

Mj helping Vanessa down was a truly beautiful gesture

i haven’t cried so much since my grandma passed away but that’s because special people in your lives make the most pain to be uncontrollable

Michael Jordan had me in tears. Rest in peace, Kobe & Gigi. Thank you, Vanessa for the memorial and your continued strength. My condolences to Kobe's parents and sisters for losing a beloved son, granddaughter, brother, and niece.

I cried when Vanessa spoke about Gianna and Kobe. Her words really hit my heart!

Never watched basketball...but this was a BEAUTIFUL Celebration of Life!! R.I.P. Kobe &Gigi and all who perished!!🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤

Kobe and Gigi forever in our hearts💜💛😫😭😭😭

Still doesn’t feel real. Love you kobe 💜💛

I'm a man that was a kobe fan when he was #8 back when I was younger late 90s and early 2000s before Memphis got a professional basketball team. I was good watchung this until Vanessa spoke. I shed some tears listening to her talk about her baby girl Edit: shout out to shaq for bringing it back and making everyone laugh

2:29:04.....hit alot different now.

It’s our time to carry their legacy. Mamba and Mambacita this one is you 🕊💜💛

Everyone dies but Not Everyone Lives...

When Kobe and Gianna 🤎🤎 left 4 years ago, a part of me left too. I can't believe they are not there with us. It is more than a tragedy and my heart is forever broken. I pray for Vanessa because she is a very strong woman and has shown that she is a treasure as a wife and mother, for her daughters and the rest of the family who have also lost their loved ones in that fatal accident. Fly high Kobe & Gianna 🕊️🕊️🫶🏽🫶🏽 24 ♾️ 2 🏀🏀 I love you so much both 🤎🤎

This whole thing was sad, buy Omg "dear basketball" got me crying 😭😭😭

We miss you all you all are in our hearts forever and ever ❤ ♥

So glad I was there inside, I love you Kobe

His parents didn’t show any emotions... that’s sad:(

So glad Shaq mentioned his parents and sisters

KOBE IS GOAT like if u agree

RIP to EVERYONE IN THE CRASH MUCH LOVE ❤️

Enjoy your life to the fullest, you never know when your friends, family, or yourself will go. It can happen at any moment. R.I.P Mamba, R.I.P Gigi💛💜

The purple lights were beautiful.

Acts 24:15, Revelation 21:4 Looking forward to an earth where there is no more death or suffering. Losing our loved ones is so hard, I hope to meet Kobe and Gigi one day. ❤️

Kobe you will never be forgotten, you will forever be in our hearts RIP Mamba 1978-2020 🙏

Thank you for the memories Kobe. You positively impacted billions of people and there is nothing more honorable than that. May you truly rest in eternal peace. May we all. Also, I promise to continue abusing people of all ages at the YMCA with your superior footwork and unstoppable turn around jumper for as many years as physically possible.

The strength she has! I wouldn’t be able to even step foot up there let alone give such a beautiful heartfelt speech. God bless her. 💜

Michael Jordan's speech and the Kobe Bryant film had me in tears😭R.I.P Kobe Bryant u will always live on forever in our hearts!!🙏🕊🕊💔💔🙏

Kimmels “hug your neighbor” made me laugh but only cause I hate when my pastor does that but this reminded me why he does it. It’s good to embrace those around you it grounds you makes you realize life is short and to be kind to those around you even strangers. Be a beacon of light in life. It helps you and others.

god I still can't get over that they're gone. rest in peace💛💜

Such a beautiful service. Rest in Heaven to all of those beautiful souls. I am so proud of Vanessa, her speech was heartfelt and genuine. Praying for all.

Michael bringing up the crying meme 😭😭. It’s funny but it stings.

May Kobe and Gigi rest in peace 🙏 we all truly miss them 😭 life is so unfair man we love you Kobe and Gigi 😢💜💛🙏

Love you Kobe and GiGi too 💜💛 and ❤️🖤💚 forever

Love The People God Gave You Because One Day He Will Call Them Back 💔

My heart shattered when everyone stood up and spoke and not one soul had one thing to say to his 💔 brokenhearted mother that just lost her only son...my God! Why would they leave that poor woman out like that, and his father looked so heart broken his head down and his heart 💔 😢😢 they didn't even acknowledge the family of the great Kobe Bryant heart 💔😢

Absolutely hard to even imagine what this family is going through but Vanessa my goodness our hearts hurt so bad, we can’t imagine what yours must be. 💔 So strong giving that amazing speech. When you cried we cried with you.

one year since this special day. RIP to alyssa, john & keri altobelli, sarah & payton chester, christina mauser, ara zobayan and kobe & gianna bryant ❤️

It’s hard watching this whole vid with tears in ur eyes we’ll miss you so much Kobe and Gigi 💜💛🙏🏾
