I don’t know why I keep putting myself through these Kobe videos. The pain hits me differently on every single video. Edit: To the people posting negative comments under this post and slandering Kobe’s name, nothing but love to y’all. No hate on my end.
I feel u. I been watching all kinds of videos and interviews since sunday. I wasn't a big kobe fan cuz I'm a kings fan but I'm a sports fan and a dad and this and hurts bad.
Yeah you figure as often as celebs and athletes fly someone was bound to die. Maybe some guy in the G league on a 2 way contract. Maybe the last guy on the bench....but Kobe Bryant? He supposed to be here, he supposed to be the one writing R.I.P Enjoy greatness while it is here cuz we also would never imagine K.D or LeBron or James Harden and it also has not happend
RealChristianSimon I think it's because his death was sudden and after only three years of retirement, he was looking forward to doing great things for youngsters.
I cried when Derek Fisher mentioned his kids called and begged him not to get on the airplane in response to Kobe’s death. They didn’t want their dad to suffer the same fate as Kobe potentially dying in aircraft crash 😭😰😢.
Zachariah Van Ruiten Yes he’s an athlete but he’s also a celebrity. The definition of celebrity is a famous well known person. You may have never watched Kobe play basketball but you still know who he is because he’s well known.
You forgot Michael Jackson lol. it's also even more shocking because athlete celebrities don't...EVER...die so of course it has a HUGE effect on everyone. He was a legend. R.I.P
No one deserves to die the way they did, RIP to all the victims and the game will never be the same without the Black Mamba 🐍 Until we see you again Kobe.......somewhere
To all the people that are hitting dislikes on every comment section all across RU-vid on Kobe Bryant's death and everyone else who perished, I only got 6 words for you. FUCK YOU and go to hell!
itchy AIDS Please if you dont have anything nice to say, dont say it. Please delete your comment. Idc if your a jordan fan or celtic fan this is really disrespectful. Let people mourn and let them rest in peace.
D-Fish said his kids called him and asked him not to get on the plane. He did a 180 and went home to his kids. That's a father. Much respect bro. If I ever met him in person, I'd shake his hand and talk about that. Nothing NBA-related. No autograph asking. Just that moment.
Everyone please listen. Dont feed the trolls. Dont ever respond to them and I promise they'll go away. Dont respond with an insult or any comment at all. They love that negativity and reaction.
I still can’t totally believe this. My heart hurts for Vanessa. Kobe inspired me more as a father than a player. Gigi was so young, her life barely started. RIP.
And just what did Kobe inspire you to do? Fly your kid in a helicopter on a foggy day, just because you feel you are too good to sit in automobile traffic?
bernard vorce what exactly are you clicking on these videos, watching them, looking for comments and replying in this way for? What does it achieve and do you think it could be better achieved in another way.
Oh my heart, the reliefs that Rick's family felt when he answered their calls. I can't stop thinking about how many time Vanessa tried to call Kobe and Gigi. My god, I really hope Kobe and Gigi watch over her and give her strength.
Vanessa never loved Kobe. His money, yes. Even his own parents said she's a gold digger and didn't attend their wedding. You can hate it, but it's the truth.
Nothing Left Vanessa loved him. She had four of his kids. She had the chance to divorce and pretty much take everything back when he was being unfaithful. But she chose to stay married . Parents can mis judge and be harsh
Yeah. Childhood ended for me Sunday when I heard. I’m 36..... Was on the court coaching my daughters team when I found out. I couldn’t finish practice.
If Rick's family called him so many times Imagine the people who tried to contact Kobe and the other passengers on the helicopter and they don't pick up the phone especially Vanessa ❤️💔💕
As a Celtics fan, as a kid I remember those gritty dark late night games vs. The Lakers when all the lights were on with Kobe having the ball. NBA Classics
shaunbir klair : as a Laker fan we love to hate the Celtics , but we respected them , Bird is still one of my favorite players of all time . This tragedy is so tough for us Laker fans . It's going to take a long time to get over this . RIP to all that were on that flight ......
Rick Fox was a certified a-hole. He deserved to get uppercutted by Doug Christie back in 2002 when the Sacramento Kings was very good and a title contender. I dont feel sorry for Rick Fox, he's an overpaid, non-skilled Hollywood model wannabe.
These two men were there with Kobe when the Lakers won the 3 peat and formed a dynasty. RIP Mamba and Gigi and the other victims of that fatal accident, and may God bless their families 🙏🙏🙏
Living in LA. The whole city was heart broken. We grew up celebrating this Legend. We celebrated on the streets, caused havoc ... and to find out of his death the way he died with his beautiful daughter😞 💔 The whole LA county was shattered and you felt it... LA will forever be Mamba's City. RIP Kobe, thank you for all the joy you gave us💛💜
Fester MP right hard to find someone like him in decades. He works for lakers for twenty years, the longest in nba history. Him and magic are both one of a generation
The World will never be the same. At the same time, it seems to have brought Family, and Friends of us all closer together. Refocused on the things that really matter in this Life. Love.
It's been 2 days since this happened and I still can't believe this is real. I still hope this is a dream and I haven't woken up yet. Kobe meaned so much to me and many other people and athletes. He will always be one of my favorite players#24
I'm understanding Kobe and his daughter went to church in the thay morning and took communion he was devout Catholic.God bless their souls and the power of the Father and the Son and Holy Spirit be with all the families affected.
@@coolgarrett17 watch your Language the almighty could have called for you my brother is a sad day to fall in the hands of a angry God ask him to forgive you for that remark God don't make no mistakes he knows best
@Don please with all that God talk like you know him or her or whatever personally. God ever talk to you no! the better thing would be to say fuck Catholic, all they do is cover up they molesting of lil kids. fuck Religion!
If it makes you feel better the chopper was goimg 150 mph so when they crashed it wouldve been instant. Also the fact that they were in thick fog, they didnt know that they were going to die.
Kobe and some of these athletes effect more lives then anyone can imagine . We grow up watching some of these guys play and they help us through our lives more then they know . Kobe was more then an athlete he made millions of people feel like he was part of our lives like family through the tv . Rest In Peace Kobe and his poor daughter and to all the other innocent people on board , accidents like this are terrible and all we can do is support those we love and anyone that knows these families personally can support them anyway possible . Rest In Peace !
I took my family to staples center today and it was so beautiful to see so many people from different countries to come out and pay their respects for the tremendous loss of so many sweet souls on that Helicopter. We will see u again in the resurrection my brothers..😔💕
What gets me emotional is that ive seen so many grown men crying and just letting the tears flow the past few days. Ive never seen this before. Theres something about Kobe's death that affected the whole world. Its so devastating. To know his daughter was with him is just even more unimaginable.
I think this one hit a lot of men differently... ive been watching Kobe interviews, seeing and reading about things he has done, and i love him even more.. Men see themselves in Kobe, as a great father as a protector as a truly loving person and knowing that this was the one time he could not protect those around him, especially his daughter, they are really feeling that... it is tearing every father apart inside.. it tearing every man up..this one is tearing all of us up inside.
Kobe is here, his presence is so vivid. He is a hero and his legacy will continue. I want to believe that their souls are persisting in peace with the infinite love. 🙏💖🏀
@WIL SUPER A hero is defined as a person admired for great deads or fine qualities. You can google it. "The word is used in the sports world to mean an extraordinary player or athlete."
@WIL SUPER Yes, yes and the reason that women dropped the criminal case was likely because she knew she would lose but pursued the civil case. I'm just curious if you think someone that is rich, that would dole out millions just to make the case stop to avoid as much media coverage as possible, is necessarily guilty? Kobe only ever stated that he thought it was consensual. If you believe he did it, that's fine. If he is not someone you admired for his one the court play or his personality or charitable works off the court that is fine to. That still doesn't refute the fact that millions of people did admire him and looked up to him. Perhaps some could forgive his moral scrupples in cheating on his wife. Some can't, even if they never thought he raped anyone. Only children think heroes are perfect people. I'm very honest when it comes to judging people. I was convinced he actually thought their interaction was consensual. I could be wrong. I'm also aware that sports athletes have women throwing themselves at them constantly. No different than any other groupie. So I don't judge as harshly the infidelity. Especially knowing this was the only incident that was ever reported and that he kissed his wifes ass, and as far as we know did everything (in her eyes) to make up for it to the point were they seemed to the public to be a loving couple... So yeah, you enjoy your little fantasy world of thinking he raped that girl. I'll keep my judgments based on the things I know about who he was and not a single incident, that according to the victim, she flirted and made out with Kobe for over 5 minutes and made no verbal objections to his groping of her that lead to the actual sex. Feel free to read the court transcript and we can argue that if you really think he raped the girl. I have read both that and Kobe's initial statements.
My heart continues to go to the family and his loved ones in the league. Also the rest on the helicopter, absolutely heartbreaking loss to the sports world. This sting will never go away and will take a very very long time to subside
Lord please give the friends and families of the victims strength and love during this time. I can’t even begin to imagine the pain they are going through💔
I only knew him through watching the game. But watching every video of his since he passed, it looked like Kobe was an amazing person, father, husband, friend, and mentor. My deepest condolences to each life affected by this tragedy. God comfort each one of you and us as we remember all the lives that were lost. May you all rest in peace.
even if you dont watch ball, you know what this man was. He WAS GREATNESS. The hard work, dedication, perseverance. no one will be the same. RIP legend
This feels like a horrible nightmare that we can't wake up from....So glad Rick was not on that trip.. Kobe and his daughter, the other families are nightmarish enough...
After watching this and shaq speaking on it. I lose it. Its thought to lose a guy that touched the entire world like Kobe. I'm at least glad to see Rick Fox as he was initially reported on the helicopter. Kobe would want us to keep our heads up and push forward😭. But I'm so hurt right now. Rest in peace to everyone on that helicopter.
You learn something new about Kobe in each video (that I've watched) and a new piece to the puzzle is added to really demonstrate HOW BIG of an influence Kobe had on people who knew him well, knew him a little, or knew him not at all - but each person shared the same feeling of losing someone important to them and as Derek said, it sucks that it took his death to really appreciate all that he has accomplished both on and especially off the court. It's been a hard week, but a very sobering one.
Every video strikes a different cord, RIP Mamba, Mambacita and all the others on board! God bless all their souls and prayers to the families! Saddest day of 2020 😢🙏🏼
I feel the same as what Keefey Tho said. Amazing people and to see the pain in their voices. My Son came home early from hanging out with his girlfriend and he never does shorten the time those two are together, But Knowing about Kobe's death he was crying when he got home. Hugs for a few minutes. was a gift from Kobe, showing respect for others I seen in my Son, in my arms. The inspiration my son uses when I see him give up in his sports at times when he should keep on moving forward. I always say to him when he takes that give up breath, I say "Be the best Kobe that he would be" "on and off the field".
One of the things I always thought about ever since I’ve heard about Kobe Bryant’s death is other legends like Tupac, Bruce Lee, Elvis, Michael Jackson who revolutionize this world came to a tragic end. It is truly heart breaking hearing these amazing stories about these people and how much love they brought to the world and from that I don’t ever want to take life for granted. Make sure to always spend time for those important people in your life and show them how much you love them and it is definitely true you’ll never know what will happen cause that person can be gone within seconds and you’ll end up living with regrets. You’ll always be in my heart Kobe RIP brotha.
Watching this video, you can feel the raw, heartfelt emotions bursting forth as they recount their initial reactions upon hearing the tragic news. And I’ll tell you, it brings back those same feelings when my son called me and broke the news to me. I had to be strong for him in the moment because he just lost it. His favorite basketball player of all time, suddenly taken from him - from all of us. But later, when I had time to reflect on my personal journey with Kobe and the Lakers, it just hit me like a ton of bricks and I wept bitterly. He’s gone but I’ll always have those great memories.
I keep watching the kobi videos an I keep feeling the same pain, I keep reliving this an it hurts each time, I pray healing for each family that has lost their lives ones.
It's tough losing Kobe, it still feels unreal. Watching him on the court and all the incredible memories he left behind that Laker jersey would never be forgotten. Even tho Kobe isn't here anymore just seeing the globe react to his death is some that you wouldn't have thought one basketball player can cause. And even after his death, friends and family are coming together which is showing he's still having an impact to this very moment.
It took me until now to watch all this stuff😢 I’ve been binge watching KOBE stuff. 3 years later I’m finally comfortable to watch LOVE YOU KOBE FOREVER💜💛
"The Lord has given and the Lord has taken away. Praise the name of the Lord." (Job) Thanks God for the gift of Kobe and his memory becomes a treasure. Remembering Kobe will revieve the soul. RIP.
Such a beautiful person with such a beautiful family..Man..I'm heartbroken..MJ was before my era (i only saw the tail end of MJ's career but i saw Kobe's entire career) so to me..Kobe is the G.O.A.T..No debating..Rest In Power to Mamba, Gianna and everybody else who lost their lives
Man this hurt. The world lost a real one, but he brought unity. The interviews I keep watching of him make me smile. His smile was warm. His voice was full of compassion and humility. His game was intense. You can definitely tell he was at a place of peace and wanted to be the best version of himself. He will be missed. My prayers to everyone involved. Sad sad sad day in America, January 26th. 🕊🏀👑
The wave of pain and anguish that so many are feeling now , after the accident is unmeasurable. Watch how Kobe Bryant’s life impacted so many people in positive ways. He elevated himself , to elevate other to elevate himself as an NBA player. This is a moment when we all can question, “What can I do, to elevate my life?” And find way to do so. My deepest condolences to all of the family who lost loved ones in this horrific accident.
This one hit different man I thought I wouldn’t cry as much as I been and boom it fucken it me again. I’ve been a laker for 30 years and the one dream I had was to see them in staples. I bought my tickets in November to watch them play the bucks on March 6th. I told my girlfriend “listen this is a dream of mine and if I get emotional and start crying please understand why”. That Christmas she bought me my 1st laker jersey and I explained to her I didn’t want a jersey until Kobe was retired and that was the one I wanted. I unwrapped my gift and there it was the #8... Years ago I remember Kobe saying I’ve been a Laker fan my whole life and once I put that golden armor on I knew what it meant to be a Laker and for that one specific moment that I place that #8 on I knew what he meant. A month passed by I’m watching us getting trashed by Philly and I’m cussing out the TV telling myself “Kobe would’ve pulled that game off some how and gave us the victory”. I wake up the next morning about to take a shower and I see a video on World Star saying RIP Kobe and I said to myself no fucken way. I approach my GF she looks at me and says is Kobe dead. I stared into thin air for about 60 seconds walked to my couch and started crying cause I couldn’t believe it. I told my self the jersey I got from her wasn’t going to be touched until I stepped foot into staples because that’s how much this team meant to me. As we’re getting ready to get groceries for the week I took a second and told myself fuck it this is for Kobe and I’m wearing my golden armor right now at this moment. As March approaches I don’t know how I’m going to react when I take my 1st steps to staples center seeing my fellow fans in there armor knowing we share the same bond for our team but most of all for Kobe. I just know tears will dripping down my face and I’m going to be full of emotion because of what laker pride means to me. RIP GIGI and RIP JELLYBEAN... 8/24 for Kobe and #2 for GIGI the mini mamba Bryant... Amor 🙏🏻
No. Mad respect to kobe and may he rest in peace but him dying tragically doesn't warrant an nba logo change. Its like saying YOU should change YOUR name to Kobe Bryant to honor him.
@ Changing the NBA logo would be bad logistics. The current logo is iconic and recognized worldwide so it would not be benefit the NBA in any way, shape or form, other than to honor Kobe. If you want to honor Kobe than get a tattoo of him or change YOUR name to Kobe. What happened to kobe SUCKS and he SHOULD be honored but don't get carried away kiddies.
Rick fox I love you man..when I was a kid I saw you and Dee Brown at the Arsenal mall during a celtics event and I came up to you guys and you were like giants to me, I was so happy to see you that I had to hug you guys and you were super cool about it...when I heard that you were there I was very emotional but I'm glad at least you were ok . R.I.P. Kobe 😔❤🙏
When I heard Kobe died, I was devastated. When I heard that Rick Fox was also on the helicopter and died, I was also really scared and devastated. I’m glad Rick is ok and alive, but I still can’t get over Kobe being gone. It still doesn’t feel real. Kobe is the last person you’d expect this to happen to
This was so sad to watch. Kobe was an incredible person and inspiration to so many people around the world! May he continue to Rest In Peace. Sending my continued prayers to the Bryant family and the families of those who lost someone on that tragic day. God bless 🙏🏻🙏🏻🖤💛💜
I’ve been watching the Lakers since I was in grade school. Back in the early 70s. I have had plenty of good times with friends watching Jabbar, Magic Kobe and other legends. I shed a few tears when Magic told the world he had the HIV virus. But I’m shedding lots of tears for Kobe and his little daughter. My heart aches. RIP Mamba.
I'm happy to see Rick Fox joined the discussion with others and explained his own side of the story about the helicopter crash incident. This really does make me to feel sad to know that he survived from using another helicopter, but Kobe didn't get the chance to live and his daughter (Gianna), as it was heartbreaking for true basketball fans and Vanessa Bryant with 3 other daughters 💔
I was watching CNN Sunday and they came in and said that there was a report of a helicopter accident in Southern California. Minutes later, they came on and said that there were no survivors on the flight, and that 2 of the people on the flight were Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna. I thought “No way. Not Kobe”. I was in shock! I was in shock all day listening to the reports. It’s now Friday, and I’m still in shock. RIP to Kobe, Gianna, John, Keri and Alyssa Altobelli, Sarah and Payton Chester, Christina Mauser, and the pilot Ara Zobayan. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪
Every time I see are listen to these people talk years starts coming. It's hard listening to everyone talk about KOBE. I really enjoyed watching him play basketball back in the day he was such a great player. RIP KOBE and DAUGHTER +FRIENDS REST IN PEACE÷God IS LOVE.
Hard to explain the exact feeling silence gives me after someone has passed away. It's like cold silence just adds to the feeling of emptiness and someone being gone forever..
