Kobe Bryant on His Harry Potter-Meets-Basketball Book Series, Coaching His Daughter 

"They'll never actually see me play.". This statement has a different meaning now. 😞

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...

Having Kobe as a coach, those girls are so freakin lucky

rest easy to a legend, who would have thought 10 months later ..

Rip Kobe, his Daughter and the others 🙏🙏🙏😞😞

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

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

I can't believe this legend died. And his daughter too. RIP

"Do you think they're gonna know you as something different..." This hits so painfully now #RIPKOBE

Watching this after hearing of his and his daughters Giannas death. So sad. Rip may you two fly high.

This is so crazy seeing this after everything that's happend, him talking about his daughter broke me

Unfortunately Bianca and his the youngest daughter will only remember him as “A basketball legend” heartbreaking they’ll never truly remember him

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.

Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed while Kobe lived a full life Giana never saw Stanford, all her talent, all her aspirations gone. It’s just so heartbreaking.

i bursted into tears when he started talking about his daughters i dont even like basketball and im still broken

I really miss Kobe playing basketball

Hearing Kobe talk about what college Gianna wanted to go to really broke my heart. She’ll never get to :( RIP Kobe and Gigi

Black Mamba, one of the greatest to play basketball.

Kobe lowkey gonna have an LA Sparks starting 5 pretty soon💪🏼💜💛💜💛

Kobe isn't aging at all

Seeing this the day after his passing and he was such a genuine guy outside of the court. Lost a legend for sure.

“First athlete to win an EGOT”... Kobe had so much more to share with us

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.

Dude, if there's one word to describe Kobe Bryant from my perspective, it's DRIVEN. This dude is just Relentless. I wish I was like him.

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 🙏

Oh god!!!!!when jimmy said "you r gonna get a grammy .....mark my words ......."my heart shattered and it happened on the day of grammys

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.

2:49 “They will never actually see me play” This literally brang a tear to my eye hearing this now

Be inspired by Kobe. He never put himself into a box, he ventured out tried new things and saw it come to pass. You can do the same thing!

Rip and send strength to his Family this legend will inspire people to try basketball so he will forever live on.

Extremely well spoken, always a pleasure watching Kobe

Rest In Peace Gianna and Kobe,you two will definitely be missed 💔

Kobe, the 🐐goat🤾🏿‍♂️

Kobe has no chill! What a hard working fella, respect earned!

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.

Kobe low key expected a mamba Jr. there

*Koby is a True Legend.* Wow!! Whenever I see him, all the moments come up!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is really sad 🤢 I got chills when he spoke of Gigi who also passed away today. Damit. Gone too soon x

He was so driven. And so giving. What a great guy 😢. He loved his family. That’s soooo clear. So proud 🙏🏼

My heart broke when the magazine came out and he said his daughters name...

Anything Black Mamba im in💯🐍🐐

Man, rewatching this now.. heartbreaking 💔 RIP Mamba.

Taken from us way too soon - Rest in Paradise Kobe and Gianna

Who’s’ here after his death? RIP Kobe and Gigi

Every damn day I always watch kobe’s interviews. 😭 this is so heartbreaking. I won’t be able to watch him nor see him smile. Rest easy, Mamba. 🙏🏻

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 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”❤️

MJ is/was amazing...but Kobe. Mind blowing.

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 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.)

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

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.

i’m literally gonna cry. bye🥺

Kobe Bryant is the greatest basketball player of all times Lakers couch it be nice too see that.

So sad his dreams were cut short. He seemed so happy. Without the interview's, we couldn't see our past or future

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

Kobe and Gianna have gone to a much peaceful place. They're Game On. RIP Mamba

it hurts. it literally hurts to see this and think about how his girls cannot see him anymore.

man.. just watching this today ...its brutal

I'm here after the grave news...Rest in peace man!

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.

Kobe you're great and amazing we are gonna Miss u and we never forget you .... Beautiful soul. :(

I’m gonna miss this dude ;-; well spoken! RIP

Kobe is just greatness

Kobe Bryant low-key going to be in a movie that is a crossover between Harry Potter and Space Jam.

Man, I miss seeing Kobe on the basketball court.

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

Gosh .. He is so cool !!!

I find myself going back to these interviews all the time, rest easy mamba and gigi💛💜

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

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

Is there something this guy can't do? He's awesome, wow so much talent piled up inside him

When Kobe says it’s nuts having 4 girls... its everything except nuts Kobe. 😔

Seeing this is hurting me second by second such a great soul I can not can not believe this still Rip everyone who was involved

Rip man . It gets so me emotional watching him now . Legend

this makes my heart heavy. what a kind soul 🤍 long live king kobe

kobe is an intelligent and humorous speaker. looking forward for his hall of fame speech

RIP legend💔

Just over a week since you and GiGi been gone Kobe, still don’t feel the same. Thank you, you tube for memories ❤️

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 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

Such a handsome, intelligent, charismatic man.

That was such a nice heartwarming interview :)

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 😢💗🙏

I love these two together... amazing chemistry

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.

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.

he had so much planned out for his life... and boom, its gone :(

Brought me to tears . It's just sad . RIP

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.

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 .

He talks about what he wants his youngest daughters to know him as, and it’s just tragic to think that they won’t know him at all. It’s like a movie. I can’t believe it. Then Jimmy jokes about him getting an EGOT and it’s like he could’ve if he wanted to he was ready to do anything but it was taken away from him.

rip legend. You'll be always alive in our hearts :(

My hero. Miss you so much, Kobe! You were suppsed to be here for another 41 years, man :(((

Rest easy King Kobe 🕊

It's like he left this message especially for his baby girls 🥺 heartbreaking. Long live Kobe and Gigi 💔

I’m so upset, the world was robbed of the greatness this man was about to achieve in new areas, I’m hurt

Kobe is truly one of a kind

Man fuck RIP, never was a nba fan but Kobe was one of the three guys I would watch highlights/interviews of just seemed like a great role model

Wonderful memories, & obviously he has a beautiful SOUL! RIP🙏🕊 & to all of the victims as well!💔
