When A Man Becomes A Legend 

Hope y’all enjoy. Put my whole heart into this one. Long Live Mamba. The one and only, Kobe Bryant 🐍

To the generation that yelled Kobe when they shot a paper into the trash.. It will NEVER not be Kobe

It hurts even more we’re never gonna see his hall of fame speech😔😢

The saddest 1 year anniversary ive ever witnessed........

“When Kobe Bryant died, a piece of me died.” -Michael Jordan

"you die two times, once is when ur taken away from Earth, the other is the last time ur name is said"- Kobe we will never forget you💛💙🐍

"Of course he could, he's Kobe Bryant" this resumes Kobe perfectly

Alright bois, it’s almost been a year since Kobe has died. Let’s make this a tradition to comeback to this video every January 26th so we can remember the emotion put on this video and the legend that was Kobe Bryant

No ads was a classy move Jimmy. Respects for that

He wasn’t the 2nd coming of Michael Jordan. He was the 1st and only Kobe Bean Bryant. RIP Mamba 🙏🏽

Don’t cry because he’s gone. Smile because he was here.

After all this time, I still think back to when I heard the news, and I instantly weep. I am not a person that cries, but I cried the day we lost Kobe.

"He gave every fiber in his being to this game" Man, my tear starts falling.

This man really left 24 seconds of silence at the end of the video. Amen brother. Rest in peace Kobe

It hurt to see Shaq's reaction to his death.

2 years since the legend sadly left this world… but his spirit lives on forever

Kobe was playing my career

That shit hit different when he said “thank you Kobe, for everything” 😢

This man willed his legendary status into reality

2 year now. Gone but NEVER forgotten. Love you Kobe.

Goodbye to my favourite of all time. From when my cousin introduced me to Kobe in 2k16 blacktop I was 100% hooked on finding out everything there was to know about the mamba, from the three-peat with shaq, to 62 in three quarters, to 81 points, to two more championships with pau gasol. When I found out about his death I just kinda sat there on my bed. I went to play 2k and saw the message on there and to this day it crosses my mind every now and then that this legend ain’t on this planet anymore. Rip to mamba and gigi.

We need a Kobe version of “the last dance”

"Believe in yourself, because no one is going to do it for you" - Kobe Bryant. RIP 24, Rest easy king. EDIT: Damn 740? Thank you a lot for the support lately, i just wanted to get that message out.

I thought enough time had passed for this to not affect me, yet here I am sitting at my desk with tears in my eyes. Truth is, there is no amount of time that could make the loss of Kobe Bean Bryant hurt any less. Kobe, you will forever be my GOAT. Beautiful video.

When I was in 7th grade I was named a finalist to meet and interview Kobe on MTV’s hit tv show FANatic. They chose some fat low energy chick instead but just making it through all the interviews and coming so close to meeting and chilling with Kobe gave me a much needed spark ⚡️ at a time where I was really needing it.

After 3 days my brain still cant process this

Kobe: Gets an Oscar When you complete the whole game and go for side missions. Legends never die Legends live in out hearts. #LongLiveTheMamba

Kobe was the definition of how hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard

364 Days ago, we lost an amazing basketball player, father, story teller, and person. We miss you Mamba. RIP.

The best quote I’ve seen was “I didn’t know a damn thing about basketball, but I knew Kobe Bryant.”

change the MVP award to afro kobe doing a dunk

3 years later and I almost cried when u mentioned all those things he accomplished. Such a good man too. We love you Kobe

Man, the summer of '96 I was in my lowest. At 23 I had to give up the sport I loved most of my life and played since I was 6 cause of multiple injuries to knees, ankles, shoulder and back. I didn't want to watch, talk or think basketball, I wanted to crawl in a hole and let be. When the season started, a friend tricked me to watch a Lakers game. I was PISSED at him but he wouldn't let me leave the room. At some point in the game Kobe comes in. With his first move I got reeled back into the game. There was something about this skiny kid that made you sit down and pay attention. In the coming years I went from hating basketball back to being fully in love with it. And it was all because of Kobe. In my life I lost both my parents and my brother but the loss of Kobe somehow was the one that hurt the most. Rest in Peace Kobe and Gigi, and when the time comes I hope we can play a pickup game up in the great court in the sky.

“I don’t want to be the next Michael Jordan I want to be Kobe Bryant”

Kobe Bryant is the first person that introduce NBA to me. He always be a Legend. R.I.P. Black Mamba and his daughter, Gianna. 💛💜

"YEET" is for power "KOBE" is for presicion

Kobe was a MyPlayer created by God himself.🏀

I loved watching Kobe. Fro Kobe was best Kobe. R.I.P.

I’m in the military and Kobe is my favorite player of all time and he taught me if you want something in life you gotta work for it and that’s why he’ll always be the Goat in my eyes god rest his soul 🙏🏿💯

9:35 at the bottom of the page: "Some scouts feel he doesn't have the ballhandling and shooting skills to be an effective guard." Haha

Bro never thought I could be so sad over someone I've never even met

6:22 The moment I saw Kobe do that he became a legend for me in every aspect of the term, as a player and more importantly as an inspiration. Pure and unwavering mentality

As someone that is just getting in to basketball in last the few years this channel has become a favorite of mine I love history and now I got a whole new history to learn and a ton of things to go back and watch and it’s honestly pretty awesome

One of my favorite Kobe stories is from one of the girls basketball coaches from my high school. He was invited to a basketball camp his senior year of high school that Kobe also attended. At the beginning of the camp, everyone was going around doing icebreakers, including things like their name, favorite player, hometown, etc. One of these icebreakers was name one weakness in your game. Well when it came turn for Kobe to say his state his one weakness, he said "I don't have any." Legend. Rip Mamba.

“I wasn’t sure if I should make this video” Bro I think we were all waiting for you to make this video lol RIP Kobe 😔

A beautiful tribute to a legend. RIP Mamba.

Kobe will always be my number 1 player, every time I see a article with his name in it my heart skips a beat it saddens me. He and his daughter will forever be missed‼️😇😇😇😇. They were exceptional people‼️😇😇😇😇

My dad cried for the first time that I’ve seen in my life when he heard Kobe passed. My dad introduced basketball via Kobe, the first game I watched with him was with Kobe. My dads still here, just Kobe was a big part of my life

i know it was tough for you to make this vid fam, we appreciate you for doing it cause i don’t believe anyone else could’ve done it better. RIP Bean

Dear Kobe, I remember so many people hating on you when you were still in the league. It made me really upset that people couldn't see what I saw in you. I was instantly drawn to you and idolised you the moment I started following the NBA back in 2008 in my difficult teen years. I am very hurt but also glad that, in a way, your premature and tragic passing has immortalised you. Thank you for all that you did for me and millions of others. You're forever in our hearts, Kobe ❤ - Love from just a random kid that you inspired.

that might just be one of the best tributes i have ever seen. RIP Kobe

Rip Kobe the greatest, Gianna, and everyone on the helicopter who died

Everytime I watch a vid about our guy Kobe, his passing hurts more and more u feel me

Its been a little bit over 2 years. Kobe is something and should never be forgotten thank you for everything jimmy!

It’s been months and I still cry every time man😭

It truly breaks my heart that a man can give every fiber of his being to basketball and then LITERALLY DIE. A truly incredible video for an incredible human being.

Who else was tearing up watching this? RIP Kobe and Gigi.

It's a year and a half later, and I'm still having a hard time accepting his death. I don't think it's because he was great, but because he was so great that the idea of him, as a player and a man, lives on in the world around us. The idea of "gone but never forgotten" is proven true with Kobe.

Rip Kobe. Thank you for the inspiration and the motivation you put in my life.

Honestly I feel like Kobe will always be underrated. He was a victim of his era. He based his game on the greats that came before him. Greats that built their game to capitalize on the illegal defense rule. Game that was all about the iso. Then right before he starts to enter his prime, they change the rules making it easier to double team. It took the league 10-15 years to figure out how to use pick and rolls and spacing to improve efficiency. By that time Kobe was on his way out. His numbers don’t reflect how dominant he was, because that style of play wasn’t that efficient against the modern defenses.

Nailed it. The guy made me who I am through his determination.

Kobe is like the 3 ball brother 2 close friends in one

Can't believe it's been a year already man. Rest in Peace Kobe and GiGI

Love Kobe or hate him you got to respect him

Rest In Peace Kobe “Bean” Bryant

I am a grown man, father of a daugther and a fan of Basketball from Germany. I grew up watching Jordan and him passing the torch to Kobe. I always had love for the Game and I could see and feel the same love while this guy was playing. This Video made me cry and proved one more time that the league is missing Charakters like Kobe, that showed everybody, if you belive in yourself and work hard for it, you can achieve everything! Thanks Kobe and Jimmy!

For some people superheroes wear capes, my superhero was wearing #8 and #24 Thank you Kobe, thank you so much...

Brother, you’ve got some serious skills. Gave me chills for 16 mins straight. I second the idea of updating the logo to honor the Mamba. Someone out there is a genius for that call. This tribute did well to highlight the most underrated aspect of his game- the heart, will-power and determination that made a great player, transcend to a legendary one. May all those who lost their lives too soon in this tragedy, Rest In Peace.

Kobe is still alive in everyone that loves him, never stop yelling kobe.

after all this time i still cant watch this video without crying. What a great tribute for Kobe this is. Thank you so much Jimmy for this video. Hope you and Gigi are resting easy Kobe. We miss you.

Bro that gilbert arenas breakdown brought tears to my eyes

R.I.P Kobe, Gigi, and the 7 other passengers 💛💜

Boi this one hit me hard....I was sick to my stomach when I heard about his passing this Sunday. Then when I first heard of it being true I became devastated and my immediate reaction after hearing the news I immediately hoped his daughter, his literal future, wasn't on there then the worst I feared happened when I heard the fate about her. That day continued to get worst when the 7 others on that plane died as well. People that day lost friends, family, people they looked forward to seeing that day but an unfortunate tragedy fell on everyone that day. I can't imagine what the families are going through to cope with this, but I pray that they get through this rough time. Everyone stay blessed you never know when that time for you to go will come. Love you all.

Still watching this today . breaks my heart . i miss kobe so much . Mamba Forever

Cant believe its been a year, RIP GOAT

Man imagine if only he didn't pass away so young, we couldve seen more amazing things off the court. God bless his family, my condolences.

“He gave every fiber of his Being to this game.” 💯

I'm in tears. THANK YOU Jxmy for the best, most heartfelt, and most accurate tribute to Kobe I have seen yet!! It was the mentality he displayed that will be his most lasting legacy, and it is why he is the GOAT when it comes to living your best life as the best version of yourself. He has shown us all the way and given us the example. For that we ate all in his debt.

The end of this video made me low key emotional and made me remember all the greatness and hard earned success that Kobe got threw out his career. Thx a lot jimmy for reminding us that legends might pass away physically but never spiritually. every day that I lace up and hit the court makes me appreciate more and more the legendary being known as Kobe Bryant for bringing me into this sport and make me fall in love🙏🏽 R.I.P 8-24.

Jimmy a real one for making a tribute to the other goat 💯

As a Celtics fan, I never thought Kobe could ever break my heart again.... RIP Black Mamba 🙏🙏💔💔

Each video of Kobe that i watch still to this very day makes me cry. I cant belive how lucky we've been to witness such a great being. Kobe, we love you.

You got me tearing up. Thank you Kobe. For Everything.

There is always a reason someone is great. But when they move on, you’ve got to remember why

Kobe died on my birthday so when I heard the news I just didn’t know what to feel good that it was my birthday or horrible about his death I felt horrible

Rest easy Kobe❤😢 thank you for everything…Mamba Out

I grew up in a household with an immigrant stepdad who never was into sports. But I'll be damned if we didn't catch every Lakers game possible. I remember he even had a Lakers jacket.. We lived in Mississippi lol. All because of how electric Kobe was to watch

I remember playing 2k17, and seeing Kobe. He said "Welcome to NBA's 2k17 MyCareer mode, enjoy!" 😭

I'm a suns fan, so Kobe was never one of my favorite players, but you have got to respect him for all he has done, all of his clutch moments, and his longevity. Sad to see him gone. #RIPKOBEANDGIGI

Kobe is who truly expired me and still does as a teenager as he had showed us how to go through the obstacles and make them your greatest strength this christmas i had been gifted a book written by the great kobe bean bryant and i do not stress this enough there will be not a single human being that brings that amount of drive and self motivation. You said this Jimmy and i’m going to also say it thank you kobe thank you for everything

Thank you Kobe for everything. Live on mamba RIP🙏🏿🐍💛💜

R.I.P To Kobe,Gigi and everyone that was on the helicopter and I pray for their family and so sorry for what they are going thru

I started hooping since the age of 8, the first time I saw Kobe was when my Dad show us some clips on how Kobe and Jordan have the same kind of skills, then he bought Nba live 08 I always play as a Lakers because why not? and after that I want to hoop, I don't have the passion to work hard and improve myself because for me basketball is just hobby but when Kobe got injured against the Warrios on playoffs I saw him standing on his feet shooting two feet throws, that give the boost that I need, I've been practicing and playing for almost my whole life. I know I didn't improve so much, I didn't become the player I wanted to be, I didn't grew a 6 ft tall, I don't even have the hops to dunk, I didn't even got on a Varsity team, and a lot of guys outplayed me, even my 16 yearold brother outplayed me (I'm 18 so that's a big deal for me). But still I love playing basketball Kobe taught me so much not just on the basketball court. Its really hard to accept that he's gone. Still I love Kobe. I love basketball. Stay safe yall. Been a fan of you @JxmmyHighroller for 2 years. I always watch your latest uploads. Thank you for thiz Video I know that this won't heal our heart, but this what we really need to see right now. Thank you and Godbless 💜💛

I’ve been on like a 3 day binge watching all of your vids. You & your love for charts are unprecedented.

Anytime I feel down or don’t have motivation I watch this video and everytime I think of what he went through to get better and his life and it helps me

The funniest thing is that Kobe didn’t have a prime he was just Kobe 😂😫😢😭🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍

RIP Mamba 1978-2020 Gone but not forgotten There are no words that can express how I feel

Kobe will always be my favorite basketball player. I remember missing my first 2 subjects just to watch his game during his 81 points game. Kobe is one of those legends that will never die in our hearts. Respects for black mamba the whole NBA community/fans misses you so bad.

rip the goat man still missing him its crazy when one of your biggest idols pass so unexpectedly man. all the rappers and kobe and his daughter man. Legends never die

“Theres heroes and there’s legends, heroes get remembered but legends NEVER DIE”.
