It just breaks my heart to know that his youngest daughters will grow up not even knowing him at all. I’m going to be sad about this for a while and I have never met Kobe...
That is so true. But hopefully his oldest daughter Natalia will help them get to know Kobe through her eyes. Still so sad that this happened to this beautiful family. Constant prayers for this family.
it’s crazy to think that the only one who’s bittersweetly left with full memory of their dad is Natalia. She’s the only one now among the siblings who saw his dad play basketball, become a legend, produce a book and witness how their dad is so well-loved in his passing. She’s the (un)lucky one who can tell stories to her sisters about Gianna. She’s the only one left who experienced having a complete family. I can only imagine how she’s feeling right now. And how her and her mom is coping right now. It’s been a week and i’m still sad and cry about Kobe’s passing and i’m just a casual fan. I’m sure his family is still in more grief. I pray for them. Rest in power Legend! #Mamba4Life
Lois Johnson i thought of the same thing too. I thought that maybe Kobe already fulfilled his purpose in life that's why he was already gone on to the next life. Because if you think about it, he accomplished so much at 41. He became a superstar starting at an age where most of us are still struggling to know what we really want in life. He was so sure of what he wants and worked hard on it for 20 years. After retiring, he went on to flourish his beautiful family and would've added more to the bunch if he didn't passed away. He loved being a dad and loves his wife so much. He moved onto the next project which is so different from what he did for 20 years, and succeed on it. Even got an award for another (side) project. I mean, he is just so blessed in life in so many ways. At 41 he already got it all locked down - career and family. Made me think that it is the right time to go. Too bad his family needs more years from him though, for his daughters, especially the youngest. Too bad Gianna didn't get to live her life by going with his dad. It's heartbreaking, really. But at least Kobe went away respected and admired, went away a dad. ❤️
The fact that Kobe and Gianna and possibly one of those girls on the cover and her father and their pilot are gone is too crazy to imagine, wtf is this we lose a legend and we also lose 3 aspiring young ladies who had dreams of probably growing up to join women’s NBA and ya know what that fucking annoys the hell outta me
Remember when Charles Barkley said that Kobe was going to struggle to find his next "something" after basketball? Yeah me neither. Genius with an amazing work ethic.
@ Cole Bosio Charles judges others by the state of HIS mind. He's limited in his thinking and imagination so he assumes other athletes are as well....in other words, Charles and all that listen to him are idiots
@@hbrt335 That's where Chuck made his mistake...Kobe was addicted to perfecting his craft. That addiction is transferable. Chuck is limited in his options so he doesn't have the capacity to see outside his purview...he doesn't have vision. He knew nothing about Kobe, yet he was offering an opinion...based on what? Complete ignorance
Watching this after hearing the news. Life is not fair, or promised. My heart goes out to not only Kobe's family, but the other families too. Good to have videos like this to look back on.
Zahq theyll hear stories from their oldest sister and their mom about how amazing their father and sister are about how much they love them and will be watching over them.
This is why his death was so tragic. He was a great dad. A great role model for those girls. R.I.P Kobe May you rest in peace along with your daughter and the other victims 🙏
I feel so heartbroken for those that lost somebody that day. Omg his kids....his wife. Her bed must feel so lonely. I know this feeling,...when you are so used to having your heart and soul lying next to you every night and then all of the sudden that is gone. The cold lonely feeling of that bed breaks my heart. The empty bed in her daughters room. The loss in all of the families that day. God this is so heartbreaking.
Him being excited with his fourth daughter just breaks my heart! As a father of two boys and followed Kobe during my collegiate years...Just sad right now...RIP #8/24 #2 😪😪 iconic and hero! Prayers to Vanessa and to the three daughters.
I'm still in shock. The man who i have looked up to since i was a wee baby, is forever gone.. May you, Kobe, Gianna and the others on the helicopter, rest in peace. I love you Kobe, we will all continue to remember you and keep on your legacy.
Looking at Kobe in this video, happy and energized makes me feel like he's still here, that's why I keep coming back to this video and other interviews with Kobe 🖤
I can’t watch this without crying now, I mean after that tragedy all I remember when I see him is his daughter and how sad Jimmy was when he died😭 “When we meet again we’re going on a beer run”❤️
This is so sad I can’t believe what happened to them. Gianna was so young and she had a huge future ahead of her too. We lost amazing people and amazing potential in the future.
The most beautiful thing of this interview is the smile of Kobe when he talks about he's daughter 😢. Rest in peace leyend the Tony and the Grammy can wait
In times like these you have to be happy with the fact that Bianca and Capri can go on the internet and watch as much videos of their dad as possible. They can even watch his games and all that. This hit hard for real and it feels like such a great loss. Gianna was something special. 6 families are in so much pain
I never had the luxury of tv growing up in Asmara, so I never got to see a live game. Never met him, never knew of his multi record breaking skills, but all the same I swapped my new Christmas shoes for Kobe's poster! Thanks Jimmy for sharing this side of him with us! U have my respect! (Incase you are wandering I am from Eritrea.)
@@viksaggu9085 ...LeBron is even worthy of being compared to Kobe or the Great Larry Bird. Let alone MJ, but sorry for being here on Kobe's book interview
Even months later I got the tragic news, i'm still heartbroken, and suffering more everyday, now what really hit me was the fact of how jimmy genuinely looks at him, and in his facial expression you can see how amazing he thought kobe was, and how great that man was. Rest in Peace kobe
it's crazy how kobe talks about the future here so confident that it will happen, goes to show how unexpected his death was. R.I.P. Kobe Mamba mentality forever
Man, I've never been a basketball fan but this man was so full of life and so genuine. It's so upsetting to hear about him and his daughters passing, it's hard to watch this, to hear him talking about his family. Rest in peace to all the people who lost their lives in the crash
I keep on watching his TV guesting over and over again,rather than news of his passing and Gianna..i want to remember him talking,laughing and excited everytime he talks about his girls.. Legend will live forever #Mamba8/24 RIP 😢💗🙏
Damn i watching a lot interviews of kobe on the last days, but that one just hit different, the way he looked up for his kids and wife thats was the best part of he, we will miss you forever.
I hope baby Capri Bryant will look back at this and watch and understand how amazing her father and older sister were, how much Kobe cherished her, all his other daughters, and his love Vanessa.
Of all the celebs death Kobes hit me a lot. Im Italian, I used to play basketball but I was never that good at it and at some point I turned my back to it. It was tied to memories of bullying by teammates and such. I never did follow the NBA but I knew Kobe. I knew him from the Black Ops trailer where he literally has a bazooka with the words "mamba".. i knew him from the 2014 Nike world cup spot. I love him like many Italians because he felt like the kid from your neighborhood who grew up to do big things but never forgot his roots. And now. I am slowly rediscovering this person, this father, this man of faith, this guy who seemed to be very in touch with his destiny if it makes sense. A destiny he passed to his daughters. And then I go and see, he made "I love basketball" with Glen Keane, a beloved artist, and scored by John Williams. He made this Harry potter type thing. He was so active. I kinda hate myself and my bullies for having me estranged with the world of basketball because I would have experienced all his highs as they happened. And not just replays. It's crazy... we have lost a top human, at a time when his kind is NOWHERE to be seen. Well and truly an angel and i hope he's looking out for all of us
Seems like such a cool dude and above all, a damn excellent father. This man exemplified a true father to his children. You will be missed Kobe, however you have simply awoken from your dream, gone from this dream world and awake in your new one. May you and your daughter enjoy the sweet repose.
"We all have fears, and we all have anxieties and things of that nature. We can't ignore them. When you ignore them, they fester, and they have control over you." I swear every Kobe interview I listen to I can relate to something he's saying. Shamefully I never paid much attention to him when he was alive, only on ESPN highlights. He surely left behind some gems that everyone can learn from.
I don't know man.... I start crying everytime I see this and especially when he talks about training his daughter and other girls...... It feels so surreal now.... even if any didnt know kobe.... Seeing his face n that simplicity will leave you broken as such a wonderful human passed away wid an Angel.... Wish this wasn't real at all
This made me so sad 😞 because his 2 little ones will never know as what he was just of what they heard about him and I know Vanessa and there older sister will tell them about Daddy’s and sis Gigi so I hope they will kind of make the best memories and not one bring any bad ones into their life’s like haters do so I pray this little baby are protected from harm from they will always see there family as the one of the best families in the world i think Vanessa is the best nom in the whole wide world and Kobe was the best dad also as they were the most family oriented I ever see I’m going to miss Kobe and Gianna and following the Mambacita in her basketball games with her mamba dad couching 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔😢❤️😢😢😢💔💔💔💔💔R.I.P KOBE AND GIANNA BRYANT YOU WILL ABSOLUTELY WILL BE MISS IN EVERY WAY AND FORM . BUT YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN THIS A GUARANTEE .
Gosh this is just beautiful and sad. God bless his family and friends. All of you who are deeply sad (the fans). Hugs to you all. He seems like an incredibly humble man with so much to offer. Really bummed to know this happened.
