Kobe was supposed to get old, giving awards to the newer generations, watch Gigi dominate the WNBA........ not have his life end like this....... 😔
Exactly! I just retired! He was supposed to enjoy the fruit of his labor smh
god works in mysterious ways he has a plan for us all that plan was made from when we were all born mapped out for some people to be on top of the world some for a while with gifts talent to be something big those of use who are still here have work to do on earth for the time that they are here alot of people kids dont relize that and live for the moment live for the money when they blind to see that there not put here to live for paper there here to write there own story of good works of life for what they can do for others and not be selfish we all go through bad times but in the end love eath other
Some of the greatest things are not made forrever
DJROMAXTION S that was beautiful my bro Brother well said
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 agree......😔
You can hear the announcer getting all choked up. He barely made it through.
Exactly what I said watching it live. You can tell he was choking up. Probably the hardest PA announcement he's ever done
He knew Kobe he’s been with the Lakers since the magic Johnson days he watched Kobe grow up
Isn’t that the same announcer who does every NBA announcements?
barbie. yep.
@@lookathimee at every laker games
If they sang “One Sweet Day” no one would’ve made it through without shedding at least one tear.
Imagine if they did Its So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday
@@ChrisBasdeo they did at the grammys
Especially if Mariah was there that songs gets me often
Especially the acapella version of the song.
Would have took everybody out.
It’s crazy how every harmony is completely able of being heard. Kobe was talking to us through that beauty
No he wasn’t
@joelauer9890 I felt his presence. I still feel his presence all over LA, the city I was born and raised in.
@@sallysomethinginthewind how do you feel his presence when he isn’t present😂
@@Mathis313 what do you not understand he feels his spirit
@@beauteousdoll7532 shut up bro
You can feel the emotion from the lakers announcer . Hes gonna miss saying kobe’s name a lot
Yup. He sounded earlier on as though he was holding back tears. 😥
We don’t have to stop saying Kobe’s name! Nobody has to
Sbukeli Zuma yeah but this announcer is gonna watch out and say kobe’s name everytime kobe scores.. just imagining what the announcer is going through, so many memories and highlights starting to pour, its heartbreaking.
Donald Zuramp got you 👊🏾
@@donaldzuramp4404 your profile pic is it real?
I'm glad they included the other names too, not just Kobe and his daughter. They ALL deserve to be remembered.
Kelly Anderson why wouldn't they include them. They all lost their lives that day
@@kennettabradford6566 Because this is a laker game and kobe is famous

@@cfhar080591 what part is a lie
Yep, they all do. And they will all be remembered. Sad, that's about all I can muster on thoughts.
The harmony of Boyz 2 Men truly is a beautiful way to bring peace to the event.
They are trash af

It’s been 2 years and this still has me crying
I can’t watch without tearing up either, its just tragic. Just couldn’t have happened to a more undeserving person
💯
It’s been 4 years now and it still stings..
The announcer was about to cry to😢😭
It was definitely emotional for him as well.
*too
the announcer also sounded like he was holding his nose while he was talking
@@pubert23 he has a terrible lisp. I have no idea how he has that job.
Did he said few daughters?
The way they died makes it even more tragic. Rest easy Kobe.
Oh my God its horrible to go through.
Omg so sad makes your heart hurt
I don't wanna think about it
Lungile Dyule me either
Gigi
Seeing Lebron and other grown men cry gets me everytime. And these are big tough men. Whew! I still get emotional at the loss of Kobe and all the others that died that day. My God this is devastating!
Ngl watching LeBron cry I cried too…
Seeing My pookie bear cry was unbearable 😫
@@BrodRien-li5uuWWW 😂
It's been over 2 years, and it still feels surreal. I miss you Kobe.
It’s been almost 7 months and I’m still grieving this, miss you Kobe..
I swear bro , its real hard to get over
i feel you man ..:(
Still doesn't feel real 😞
Not that deep
Ben Jack shut up man
I’m so glad they didn’t sing “It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye” no one would of played that night if they did!
Girl that's the exact song I thought they were going to SING too! I would have really started crying hard
Word!
Ciamya Griffith girl go on somewhere
and stop trying to make the narrative something it isn’t.
Ciamya Griffith you’re absolutely right
I don’t care....about your opinion that is.
So again, if you don’t like my comment, great, keep it pushing! Enjoy the rest of your evening love.
Ciamya Griffith ok I will
I actually had the pleasure to meet Kobe Bryant in person outside of the NBA. He was such a cool person, and talked to me about being a man, and making good decisions. I still can’t believe Kobe is gone. So tough…

Seeing lebron cry was sad but seeing Quinn cook really got me
Zach Oldham Official who’s the other young guys on the side of labron James
Lebron got to me
Quinn Cool grew idolizing Kobe and the Lakers. It was his dad’s dying wish to see him play in the purple and yellow
Yeah, I think his dad is a die hard laker fan so sad that the mamba died😢
Dawon Fields Who’s Labron James?
Lebron felt like he didn’t just lose a friend he lost a brother.
I can’t imagine what Michael Jordan felt like. He lost his student/apprentice and little brother.
I can’t imagine what Vanessa went through. I wish I had her strength
Beautiful singing, as always, by Boys 2 Men... arriva derci, Kobe... a lot of us Italians are missing ya, bro. You learned our language and spoke to us on our terms... grosso rispetto
Such a painful reminder that life is fragile, but you should still live it like it’s unbreakable. That’s what Kobe did. Mamba forever.

What,why?
@@trash_irl3314 because if you aren’t “woke” these days. Your racist. Homophobic. A white supremacist.... people are sensitive
@@Dylan_The_Car_Dealer I guess you do have a point there, some parts of twitter definitely blow things out of proportion. I do still think that sometimes twitter does point out actually racist, homophobic, sexist etc. people and that's more than reasonable imo. It's about looking at a person's actions and calling them out if they are geniunly racist not spinning it into something offensive.
@@joyc9323 yup
The fact that the Lakers won the finals that year is amazing.
i love that the ENTIRE arena was quiet during the 24.2 seconds of silence. not one voice can hear heard. respect to everyone there
I’m not even a big basketball fan and this was probably one of the saddest weeks for me

Can you blame him? 🥺 it must’ve been so hard.
I couldn’t do what he’s doing, I would’ve broke down
@M no one cares
@M no one asked
@M dude, you are on literally every sports video commenting about soccer. Get a life
Philly native here. This was hands down one of the hardest days I’ve ever had to experience. Kobe was a Philly product like me, and everyone in philly knows or lower merion, where he played high school basketball. He made everyone here proud and was a huge influence on young ballers here. When news came out about what happened, it felt like the whole city just stopped moving. Absolutely devastating day for us. Hope you and Gigi are shooting some hoops up there, Kobe 🖤
Wanya Morris was my dad best freind from Philadelphia
it’s been a year since.. I miss you Kobe ..😭

Even the announcer's voice was cracking when talking about Kobe. 😢💔
1 year 5 months since you left us Kobe 💔… we all miss you still to this point of time 🙏🏽💔!
The shaking voice of the announcer 🥺
I thought it was just me. He sound like he cried his eyes out already. Trying to hold it together then.

one of the most emotional national anthem I've ever heard gave me so many chills
Boys II Men amazing!
Its gonna be alright LeBron- no matter what!
Rest easy Kobe ❤

That was some complex harmonizing and they were spot on. Amazing singing.
I might be wrong..but wasn't there four members of Boyz II men?
Carolina Wong yeah the one with the deep voice left the group some years ago.
That’s not what the Buddha meant by that
wise word thank you 🌷
I'll literally just be doing something around the house and find my self stopping and realizing Kobe is gone. It still feels like it's not real. I dont know why I cant wrap my head around it. Great performance, heart goes out to all the families
Sam Brazier felt that
I just can't accept my mind to think that Kobe Bryant is dead that doesn't feel right I would understand if he died at 97 from like Alzheimer's but this dude died at age 41 very tragically😥
I b thinking the same thing 😭😥😢💔
Same here!!!
that is exactly how it’s been for me
It's already been more than a year and I still cry when I see a tribute
Just the National Anthem was that touching. If they had performed Its So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday I'm not sure anyone would have been able to play after that emotion.
The most emotional national anthem of all time
Real talk!
Thank God they didnt.
RamblingBaba _ That’s not the point. It’s the tribute that counts, not whether or not they sang perfectly.
I was thinking about that too.
I feel so bad for quinn cook, kobe was his hero n he looks so heartbroken
he is devastated 😢💔
CINDY J 😔😭
On that day, I was at church serious and that’s when I found out that Kobe passed away and his daughter as well. I will always be heartbroken. My thoughts and prayers go out to Kobe Bryant’s family and the other families as well. We lost in amazing legend basketball player icon there and never be another Kobe. he has touched so many lives all over the world will see on the court good basketball skills on the corner. it doesn’t seem real to me still and devastated. We miss you Kobe
3 years now we had lost Kobe 😭
Now 4 years
I’m so glad Boys to Men sang the national anthem this night.....
fergie..
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
@@magicchessreplays6937 😂😂😂 oh get out of here
If they sung "One sweet day" there wouldnt be a dry eye in the building.
Nefertiti Mclaurin sang*
I’m glad that they didn’t-because you are SO right 😢
Hahahh maybe
I really wish they would have
Sorrry I never toldddd youuuuuu, All I, wanted to sayyyyyyy 😢
1 and a half years later this still hits hard
What an incredible performance. Kobe will always be missed! May he continue to Rest In Peace. Sending my continued prayers to his family. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🖤💛💜
When even the announcer was almost choking up in tears, man, that teared me up.
💔💔
😭😭😭😭
did not here it bud it sounded more like he had a stuffy noes
allan bondoc Yea I heard that too. Those guys are usually stoic no matter what’s going on but even HE couldn’t contain his emotions. Kobe’s death hurts man. I still cannot believe it.
When Quinn started crying at 3:20 I couldn’t hold back it made me cry again.
surajtrey5 seeing him cry gets me emotional too, it’s like he’s broken down
surajtrey5 I cried too💔😭😭
Same man, same.
Me too. And that evening was my basketball game. To honor Kobe the last shot my team scored everyone watching the game shouted Kobe
Absolutely adore the effort put into making this such a special moment for not only the fans but his family as well. Literally everything was beautiful & BOYS TO MEN did not disappoint! Never heard the anthem sang so beautifully 🤍
It's been 2 and half years but still broke my heart we love you kobe!!!
Kobes team once told him 'Only a real man makes boys' and he said 'It takes a king to make a princess'👑😪
Be
💯
The announcer's voice though. This is really heart-breaking💔
I'm not sure if this is true, but I heard that the announcer is Ted Williams. (The man who was formerly homeless, with the "golden voice"...)
I still cant believe Kobe is gone
I don't think anything is more sad than seeing a man who is so respected in his sport, and see him next to his family, and that little girl who lost her life with her amazing father in such a tragic accident. It hits hard, and hits me bad thinking if something happened to me and my daughter while my wife and son were at home. Scary and sad.

coming from an Australian, America’s national anthem is beautiful and that was the best rendition I’ve ever heard. The ending at 4:15 touched my heart, Rest together in Paradise Kobe, Gigi and the 7 other souls lost
You should look up the history and meaning behind the anthem
As an Australian I know half of the anthem!!
For me, personally, Whitney Houston's Superbowl National Anthem was the best I've heard but this is quite nice as well.
Whitney Houston has the best
A D Nah Fergie has the best
Whoa. Boyz II Men still got it! Nobody could harmonize like them. Love love love
Man it's been 2 years I still can't forget Kobe your still in my heart ❤️
4:28 when they went down to the minor on “free”, that was the worst chills I’ve ever gotten. I’m so cold now.
fr bro
exactly what i was thinking
Pure mastery of dem vocals. I can't believe that they can pass through those rare chords live and play with the harmony just like that. Boyz II Men is THAT vocal group!
Wow!!
@@kimedwardilagan9137 theyve been doin it for 3 decades

Amazing idea if you came up with that!

That is so smart
I looked at the the time it said it was posted 3 years ago. I was like what that’s not right. Then I realized it’s already been 3 YEARS?!!!! 😢
It’s been 2 years and it’s almost hour birthday , I miss you so much lamba we are still grieving as you have left us but Ik you waiting for us at the other side .
I was like 24.2? Why not 24.8? Then I remembered Gianna wore 2. 😭😭😭
This broke me. I was holding strong until this comment because I didn't know why.
Yeah I was confused as well...
i realized immediately after seeing the jerseys.
Gianna is number 2
what does 24 stand for?
And this is when we knew Lebron would bring a title to the Lakers for Kobe.
And yet people are still criticizing him saying he only won because of the bubble
@@tyyrreekk9005 they'll hate anyway they can and when he loses hes a choker apparently
@@swaggerbg5531 they dont know anything about sports
This is when I knew THE LAKERS were going to bring the ship back to LA. It's bigger than Bron. What happened here was the kind of adversity that brings whole cities together. Imagine if COVID never happened and we all had the chance to be in the stadium pumping energy into the team and remembering Kobe all season long all the way through till the end. Bubble or not, it was bound to happen.
@@swaggerbg5531 jordan chokes in the celtics
Rest In Peace Kobe
Still gives me chills..... Unbelievable to this day! and forever.
I was born and brought up in England and basketball really isn’t a thing here. Yet I still know of the name “Kobe Bryant” and for some reason I am so emotional about Kobe’s passing. Every time I watch someone speak of him fondly, and even watching this, I find myself trying to hold back the tears. It’s crazy what an impact this man has had. And to his sweet daughter as well as the other people on board, this is a tragedy and my thoughts are with the families.
Legend!
I feel the same. I’m from Italy and this death has impacted me so much, even if basketball is not the thing here.

You will NEVER hear a moment of silence, THAT silent. Chills at the amount of respect and love that everyone had for Kobe Bryant.
Yes there were 9 souls lost that day, including his amazing daughter. Heartbreaking for all the ones lost…but this was his arena… I’ve never thought about saying a moment of silence was beautiful, but this one was.

I used to not care for LeBron much, not even when he came to the Lakers. Watching how much he loved Bryant and how he honored them made me fall inlove with him. LeBron has done it right. Uses his platform for the best causes, so caring. Love LeBron.

What an absolutely wonderful rendition of our national anthem.
Just heartbreaking I cry almost every time I hear the one sweet day I break down remembering my best friend. She died when I was 10 and she was 9
Basketball has never lost anyone like this! Someone that was one of the best gone at such an young age and so tragically. Horrific. Let’s live life to the fullest people!

I can remember drazen petrovic
what? They literally lost Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor, Drazen Petrovic, Pete maravich, George Mikan, Moses Malone, Darryl Dawkins nad many more.
This still sucks, I would have loved to see Kobe have sit down talks with Jordan, Lebron, Tracy etc
2 years ago and i still cry watching this video
I still cry watching this now.
