Gregg Popovich and DeMar DeRozan react to the death of Kobe Bryant | NBA on ESPN 

"good game, tough loss, who cares" well said. We lost someone important to us today...

Pop is the Goat. Such a classy man.

“Tough Loss, Who Cares” Perfect

Must be hard for DeRozan his game literally came from Kobe from rim rattling dunks to being a sniper from the Mid Range of course minus the defense

“Good game tuff loss who cares” this is why i love pop , it’s bigger then just basketball , games should have been canceled today. And don’t come at me with “people paid to see games today” real fans would have understood and let the players mourn.

When pop says more than 5 words u know it’s important

He may be gone but his legacy will never die. Still yelling “KOBE” when I shoot . Rest In Peace Kobe and Gigi

Kobe is literally one of the biggest names in basketball. When u think of the nba u think of of 3 people and Kobe is one of them. Rest In Peace Kobe and Gianna We all will miss them dearly.

hearing that his daughter was in that helicopter made it 100 times worst.

Pop maintains historic levels of class at all times.

Pop was a mentor to Kobe always pushing him to be great and vice versa. Demar is one of many today who lost a role model we loved and will never forget.

"Good game, tough loss, who cares?" This is why Popovich is the best. The outcome of a game is never bigger than the loss of a man and his daughter (along with 7 other passengers).

Heart goes out to Vanessa Bryant and her surviving daughters, and families of the other victims, who are dealing with indescribable grief at this time.

long live Kobe you’ll never be forgotten in our hearts.. this seasons for you mamba

Can’t imagine what Pop is feeling because he has gone through a lot

I grew up watching Kobe, his passing felt like I lost a big brother. I can't stop crying

“Heroes get remembered but legends never die”-Babe Ruth

The first line Pop said is why I admire this man.

And Demar is a LA kid. You know it hit different. He grew up watching Kobe

“GG tough loss who cares” Pop gets it a global sports icon just passed away at a young age and pop knows we shouldn’t care about what happened in the game but what happened in the real world

His poor wife, Lost her love and baby seeing everyone so emotional I can’t imagine the pain she’s feeling.. My Prayers go out to his family

“Good game, tough loss, who cares” pop one of the greats

You can feel their pain through their voices.

As a father loosing his daughter with him.I cant stop crying.

He was so young! His daughter! And everyone else on board. Wow.

From an early age, I admired one player - Kobe. I followed my career from 2005-2016. I watched every move, every incredible shot, trying to replicate. I feel as much as I have lost a loved one, a family member. I cry and I will cry. you inspire me from an early age. You are and will remain to me forever, my authority, my inspiration. Thank you for every wonderful moment, thank you for making me better on and off the court. Every one of my throws, from now on will be for You! You left this world too fast, but you will remain forever in our hearts!

Mad respect for Pop Good game tough loss who cares then talks about kobe

Legendary, father, and inspiration to all

I can't believe it's already been 4 years.... I am still so angry and sad that this happened. As a kid with no father (my father passed from cancer when I was very young), Kobe was a huge role model for me and I looked up to him in so many ways. I actually met him once at disney land when I was 13 (2008). He was walking through the park with his daughters Gianna and Natalia and everybody was surrounding him wanting autographs. I didn't have a pen for signature so I just gave him a high five. It was an amazing moment that I will never forget.

“Good game. Tough loss. Who cares.” This man knows there are bigger things what a man👏

Gregg Popovich - good game but who cares 💯💯💯💯 Everybody is a KOBE BRYANT FAN TODAY 💛💜

Every time I put down my phone and then I look back and read a headline I realize this really happened. This hurts different.

I read this comment earlier, "Kobe would want them to play." Gigi, her little friend, The parent, the pilot & more. Tough, but they can still play - Mamba mentality.

Pop knows about loss after losing his wife. Rest In Peace Kobe forever

You can tell Greg is really torn by this. ❤️ Even tho Lakers were rivals with San Antonio they respect Kobe. And Lakers always respect Tim Duncan

Vanessa Bryant I am so sorry for your loss of your husband Kobe Bryant and your daughter Gianna may they both rest in peace and my deepest condolences go out to you and the Bryant family

It’s an end of an era, we grew up with him, his baby passed with him, man, he was such a great story,

I was sleeping before the game, just wake Up in time to see the game, literally tip off and they dribble the ball out and Sean explain why, first I didn't know how to react, I'm in shock man like this has to be some kind of nightmare

The two most important days in your life is the day that you were born and the day you realize your purpose

This is literally the worst day ever. The tears just won't stop flowing. Thank you for the amazing memories Kobe. I will never forget you.

Those two 24 second shot-clock violations at the start of the game was a very solemn moment regardless of how it looks...

A few years down, I’m going to get this in my recommendation and I’m still going to tear up as much as i did when i found out.

"Good game tough loss who cares" pop is a national treasure fam

Pop knows how it is, after his wife died he knows how it is

I’m ashamed to admit I was a Kobe hater early in his career and eventually he became my favorite player ever after seeing his passion for the game. This one definitely hits hard.

This doesn’t feel right

Class Act by Pop..."Tough Loss Who Cares!" Long Live King Kobe!

Kobe was the type of players to inspire 2 year olds bruh ❤️❤️❤️❤️ the impact he left on the game was untouched.

Legends never die... Rest In Peace Kobe... Always in our hearts

“ good game, tough loss, who cares “ see Pop is an amazing coach and person because he knows that they lost something bigger than a game

Ive always loved Coach Pop. That man is 100% pure realness

The best coach ever...this was beautifully said

Shout out to DeMar DeRozona for always rocking the Kobe Bryant shoes and trying to play hard. The San Antonio Spurs are my fourth favourite NBA Team.

We love you Kobe ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Thank you Pop, Be strong Demar and everyone else, God Bless

I LOVE Pop. I appreciate his words. I can't even imagine how the players are feeling.

Pop Is a Real one ❤️!

Thank you Kobe Bryant 🙏🏽😭❤️

Pop is the man his team dueled with Kobe many times. Rest in peace Mamba.

Rest In Peace, Kobe. You brought me so many smiles as a kid. Love u man

Can we please redo 2020?

Sad is an understatement.

Gregg Popovich is a beautiful human being! I 💘 Pop.

Kobe Bryant we will always remember your great smile... We love you brother 💋 Spurs fan ///

rest in peace kobe 😭😭😭😭 my idol in west(lakers)... ... lebron fans here from philippines we miss you kobe

We say for a man to be dead is when hes forgotton. A man lives on forever as long as his spirit & ideas live on. Mamba mentality lives on!

Love Pop, nice to hear from you and DeMar. This is still so hard to process.

Pop is simply the greatest man. The level of class, and knowing that it’s so much bigger than the game. “Good game, tough loss. Who cares?” Kobe will be missed.

Still yelling "KOBE" when I shoot. 🐍 He may be gone, but his legacy never will be. Rest In Peace KOBE & GIGI 🙏

Pop is a legend, he lost is wife recently stay strong pop

There's no words for a tragedy like this.. 💔

Man I am crying and I don't follow basketball. Grew up with my brother watching Kobe and admiring him, so I saw him on the screen many times. I loved how he loved his family and I admired that; so heart broken for them. 💔

Demar’s from Compton, Kobe’s a folk hero in the LA area. You know he was hurting. Even if you weren’t a fan of his, if you like basketball, this meant something. Kobe played for the marquee franchise for 2 decades and that made him polarizing.

Class act

Kobe, Kobe, Kobe... Descanse em Paz 🙏🏻 Legend

Even Though He Coached Against Him Pop Loved Kobe Bryant

Good game, tough loss, who cares. This is why everyone loves pop.

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban: "Our organization has decided that the number 24 will never again be worn by a Dallas Maverick.”

This why I fw Pop. He walked in, kept it brief, short, to the point, then walked out. He didn’t need to answer any questions, he didn’t need to linger around. He said what he needed to say and left.

Thanks D and Pop for showing Luv and respect to the 🐐 #8 #24

Mad respect to Mister Popavich ( sorry if I miss spelt his name ) as well as Demar Good game tough loss who cares he talked about Kobe and was like done like a true boss

This is crazy it really got me 😢

I love this coach respect

I watched Kobe highlights last night from Philippines #1 fans of kobe

"Good game, tough loss, who cares" Amen we just lost a legend today

Respect to both teams for running out the shot clock.

I will live the rest of my life liked Kobe lived his..Helping others and being a great person.Your life has touched all of us..

This loss is tough man. God bless you all.

Kobe I love you. A part of me died today with you. You were the best for me to ever lace them up. You were the reason I developed a competitive drive. You taught me so many lessons about life much more than basketball. You were my inspiration, my motivation, to me a basketball GOD. The impact you had on the lives of everyone was astronomical. You will never be forgotten. I’d cry enough tears to fill the oceans and give back anything I have to bring you back. But God works in mysterious ways. Bless you and little Giana, you loved her so much and took her straight to heaven with you. Condolences to all the other lives lost as well. Just beyond tragic. To everyone, please pay tributes, show your gratitude, learn to be perfect fathers, husbands, competitors, go shoot 81 shots. The smile of Kobe’s lit up a room, his insane work ethic was absolutely legendary. There will be never another Kobe Bryant in this league. Taken away so young and so soon, it’s like God got greedy and needed Kobe for bigger plans in heaven. Kobe, the GOAT, just like his game that was flawless, his passing is one that has shaken the entire world and turned it upside down. I love you Kobe. I love you.

noone should die like that, noone at that early age, noone should lose his people like that. i dont like to see people dying, even if i dont liked them that much. it doesnt feel right and it feels like something was left unfinished worth being finished.

I’m so sorry. My heart and prayers go to his entire family. So truly sad.

That man was an inspiration to a lot of people including me 😞

Just Imagine when Pop goes 😭😭

I know it’s their jobs but let them mourn him and then ask them questions like the day after, like let them have some time for the grieving process

Popovich is such a great coach. He understands the deep loss this is for many players. So many of these guys probably didn't want to play any games tonight but did it for the game. Respect for the teams that gave a tribute to Kobe by taking a 24-second violation For Kobe. I heard that Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said he will retire the number 24 in Dallas so no-one ever uses that number. I hope more owners will do that.

Well said Pop. Thank you.

There are 7 miserable people who disliked this video. Pop and DeMar showed pure class. Such a sad day.

Pop is a great guy

Legends never die. Black Mamba lives on forever.

I love Pop he answers questions even before they're asked. What a genius 💯
