Coach Geno Auriemma gave the best speech! What he said should touch everyone in that room and encourage all these famous men! If you want to be like Kobe then your family and children need to come first because that was what Kobe was all about.
This was the best speech at the memorial!!!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ “I’ll be routing for their team...forever.” 😭💔
Geno Auriemma's speech had such meaningful perspective. A dad and a young teen who's life will never be realized, but the lasting impact both will continue to have and inspire for the future of so many.
Great speech! Side note saw MJ with his head down, he is having a hard time. When he said Kobe would text him at odd hours, I knew he would have a hard time dealing. I’m still trying get past this and I wasn’t closely connected to him.
As a Mother of 3 and Grandmother of 4, I've thought about Kobe's parents from Day 1; "Ohhhh noooo! His Mother!" My prayers are with the entire Bryant Family, as well as the other families, friends, NBA , and their Fans. Rest in Heaven Kobe ⚘ GiGi 7
They are in my prayers. I am so sorry for their loved ones. Wishing them, and Gigi and Kobe all the best. May Gigi and Kobe, and the other passengers be blessed up in heaven 🕊️. Wishing their loved ones all the best, love, positivity and health in the world. God bless 🤍

Kobe had fallen out with his dad, his mother put his high school and early nba memorabilia up for auction without telling him. He had to buy his things back after his sister testified that the parents did it without his knowledge. They didn’t like Vanessa and hadn’t been in contact with them for a long time. This served as a reminder that life is short please make peace with everyone in your life.
All I see in the comment thread is best speech this and best speech that. Enjoy the all the speeches from the heart. Just Too much vanity! Honor the dead
TOVTHE, THUS FAR, 175 PEOPLE WHO GAVE A THUMBS DOWN, MAY U NEVER, NO, WHEN U EXPERIENCE THE LOSS OF A LOVED ONE, MAY EVERYONE RETURN ONTO U, THE SAME HUMAN COMPASSION AND SYMPATHY THAT YOU'RE SHOWING TODAY..... NOTHING THE THREE OF THESE MENTIONED WARRANTED NEGATIVITY ⚘
I will agree 💯 that it’s all about the children or should have been. Why on earth would they choose go up in the chopper when they were aware that the LAPD suspended all flights for that day because of dense fog⁉️
All I can say is that I live in the town next to Kobe's and the fog was not bad at all after Kobe and Gianna went to Mass and boarded the helicopter around 9AM. It got worse as the morning went on, but I suppose that the fog was already bad in Calabasas. I also heard someone from LAPD say that their helicopters were not as advanced as the one that Kobe and 8 others were in, and that's why theirs were grounded. Tragic all around.
I love dogs what the pilot says is one thing however hearing that the LAPD has grounded all choppers due to poor visibility is quite another. Probably Mamba Mentality at work. It takes a mama mentality too stop such dominate and determined attitude. Sadly, there was none around 😓
I love dogs ⁉️⁉️⁉️ What are you referring to?! Sick individual because of what?! I’m saddened that the 9 individuals perished that day especially when it was unnecessary. The investigation revealed there was no mechanical failure so that leads to the fact that it was most likely human error. I’m to blame for that?
I dont know or follow basketball teams or the game really...but over the years I caught several glimpses of Kobe appearing to be the kind of guy who wanted everything, "his way." no negotiations, mostly self centered and arrogant for a long time. Maybe that's why the helicopter took flight (anyway)? but....what do I know? It just appeared that way to ME...
180 ° Turn! ....... I [ Jesus ] CAME not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance....... ....... I [ Jesus ] TELL you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish....... ....... THE LORD is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance....... King James Version Bible Repent! Believe! Be saved! C h o o s e L i f e !
I didn't sense that at all. Geno seemed quite sincere and the personal stories that he has with these two, especially Gianna, would lead me to believe that this loss was quite personal to him. He wasn't grieving over the loss of a great basketball player and his child, he was grieving because he lost two friends. And you just know that Gianna would have been a great Husky! (~);-}
billClintonMrBobDole that’s his world women’s basketball and Vanessa invited him to talk about how Gigi lover that and they went to the women’s games together and Kobe was building that legacy
