Never forget waking up the next morning in HS, turning on ESPN, seeing he dropped 81. Literally went to bed with them losing, and waking up to a win and 81. 1 of 1. RIP Bean 🙏🏿🙏🏿

Listened to pieces on the radio, working late that night. Couldn't believe what I had heard. 81 ? He had 81 ?? This is how vivid that day was, I remember going to King Taco in the morning & watching the replay on Fox Sports.

@@sunnyside9273 hell yea. I go back and look at his misses, and he had a few bunnies and the 2 missed FTs. This man legit at that time coulda had 90 to 100 freaking points. That’s just wild to even think about 🤯

I agree! Remember watching it with friends who were trying to party and didn't care about the game and were waiting on me. Kept saying it's over let's go. Nope not over and ain't leaving. They all were so thankful that I helped them witness his greatness. Respect kobe ✊️ Go lakers!

@Itsmewaltz 3 месяца назад

Unfortunately, I didn’t find out Kobe was such an amazing human being until after he passed away, I just thought he was a great basketball player. Now, I absolutely admire his work ethic, passion for winning, faith in God and for being such a wonderful father and husband. I hope your legacy highlights your incredible character as much as your incredible accomplishments.

I remember that. In the second half clips, if you look at the basket, you can see me sitting there behind the Raptors bench with the white cap clapping after every shot. That seat was a gift from my Lakers season ticket holder rep. Incredibly lucky that she upgraded my seat on that particular night.

I remember sitting up, and taking notice half way there the 3rd quarter, it was unbelievable, what an inspiration, so happy I was sick that day. RIP mamba Gigi

Watching Kobe play, you can just tell he was a legend. God blessed you tremendously Kobe.

@elturko1128 2 месяца назад

Interesting thing is he had small hands and not crazy hops(for a basketball player). But he was long. And he worked hard at his game. So I’d say some of it was him :) Jordan had that god blessed hops and huge hands (I think still one of largest hands in nba history and best vert still to this day at combines )

When Kobe was 10 or 11, he went an entire summer without scoring a single point. He wasn't on the bench either. Fast forward to this moment, scoring 81, shows you that anything is possible through hard work.

@augustinechoi9868 3 месяца назад

Kobez and Gigi! Rest in Peace! Kobe, thank you for the great memories you gave me and fellow Laker fans! I watched you enter the league in 96' and saw you evolve as a player and a person. Your drive to truly maximize the very best out of yourself is an example for not only NBA players that grew up watching you but for people altogether. I can say confidently that I and other true Laker fans will never forget you. Today is 2/8/24. Your day, Kobe!
