They better not meme Jordan for crying this time. He gave one of the most heartfelt speeches I've ever heard.
Yep, better not. The first crying meme is fair game tho.
@@greengecko5788 yeah he was smack talking in his HOF speech, but this one is a very vulnerable real Jordan we rarely see.
Too late, they already started
internet gives zero fuccs
Green Gecko someone already did
My dad called me a year ago to tell me of Kobe’s passing, and I remember thinking “wow I can’t imagine how Vanessa feels” 10 months later my dad unexpectedly passed. And now I know exactly how she felt. Love hard, tell people you love them. Life is so unpredictable, and we can never hit rewind
Wishing you the very best
My condolences man, wishing you best
Rest in peace 🕊️🙏
Rest In Peace
That hit me in the chest 🙏🏾
Even in retirement Jordan came through in the clutch…amazing words…R.I.P Mamba.
Well said !
Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future.
that's what the GOATs do!
“everyone always wanted to talk about the comparisons between he and I, I just wanted to talk about Kobe”.. that shit hit hard man
Explain it?
@@heftygermgaming3383It means that everybody always tries to talk how one person might be better than the other, but he doesn’t care about that and only wants to talk about the character of Kobe
❤❤
Jordan actually doesn't like to entertain the GOAT debates. thats what I respect about him

'When Kobe Bryant Died, A Piece Of Me Died''
11:23
Thx I was looking for it
"I will live with the memories that I had a little brother...."
larry andrews hows that funny idiot
Thanks
You’re stupid
Episode 5 last dance ... Kobe said I wouldn’t have 5 rings without Michael Jordan ... there wouldn’t be a Kobe Bryant without Michael Jordan, these two guys loved each other ... RIP Kobe ...
Emmanuel Kazonis when I saw Kobe in episode 5 I think I teared up
They kept their relationship private & full of respect. Real shit
that surprise kobe interview was really nice
sigbin tinapay yeah wasn’t expecting Kobe at all, i only expected Kobe to show up in the old matches
Emmanuel Kazonis Or maybe Kobe would be a different player lol... I hate it when people speak like they know any hypothetical what if. Just because the butterfly effect exists, doesn’t mean Kobe wouldn’t be where he was...
You’re not limiting his ability, but you are subliminally. Kobe did to himself too, but that doesn’t make his reasoning right, then either. I’m sure none of us know, but we still might’ve had a Kobe Bryant.
Doesn’t mean MJ is the only reason he reached success. And we’d never have this player to cherish. Nor did MJ invent the fade-away. Nor is he the first post up guard. He was just the first of the, I call “super athletic era.” Yeah, cool right. But it’s just a fact that after the 70s, players got more athletic.
People group Kobe up because he doesn’t shoot like a 50s player on his fades. He shoots a FADEAWAY... HAS A KILLER MENTALITY ON THE COURT. That doesn’t mean MJ built that within him. Just because they’re basketball players... doesn’t mean their succeed is intertwined. Yes, Kobe might’ve learned a lot from MJ. But y’all speak on the subject like Kobe would be a raw prospect. Cause you’re the only one viewing Kobe as MJ.
Sortve disrespectful in hindsight, knowing that your success is limited to seeing one player. That you wouldn’t be as great as a player without them. Who fucking knows lmao.
There’s 7 people in the world that look like you. Probably more who think in a similar manner.
it’s amazing that MJ was still able to speak so clearly while tearing up. a real man performs no matter what the emotional pressure is. honorable.
Clutch forever.
The fact that he did this all with his face just covered in tears... It's all straight from his heart. You can feel the pain in his words. It's so powerful.
Some people tear up easily, doesn’t mean he wasn’t thinking rationally
Has nothing to do with being a man
@@deelewis8061 it actually does. Perform whatever the situation
I am about to run my usual 5 miles before work...I never was like that until you died, I sobered up and realized what I needed to do to better myself like you did every single day. Coming up on 4 years sober now, and I miss you Kobe, thank you for making me a better man in all aspects of my life.
Powerful.
Amen. 💔❤️🩹🤍
❤
There you go ❤❤❤❤❤ maybe you can help me
MJ has a whole speech but barely looked at it…that’s how u know this was from the heart
I thought the same thing
That’s why half the time he didn’t make sense but I get he felt overwhelmed and the words didn’t come out as he planned.
Facts man

Still come back to this every once in a while😔 Rip big bro
@Righteous says who?
@Righteous lmao
I do too. It brings me back to reality and why more celebs and people can't be more like him. He is truly a great loss. He is definitely one who could make a difference in the world
same
I know me too
I can't imagine how he must've felt. Knowing you were his idol growing up, it's possibly on the same level as losing a kid. You can tell he misses Kobe deeply
Nah
You’re dumb af if you think it’s near the same level as losing a kid
MJ millions of peoples idol 😂
@@Ryan____Zobviously. But millions don’t get access to him like Kobe did. Other NBA players also had access to MJ and idolized him growing up but Kobe was the only one that wiggled his way in to his idol’s life and became his little brother. That’s what MJ is talking about
@@seanchong2109asshat.
I don't care what anybody says about MJ after The Last Dance came out or before that... this is one of the most sincere and most beautiful speeches or eulogies given ever. I have nothing but respect for this man.

Michael Jordan nailed that speech, I didn’t know Jordan was such a great speaker and story teller. He sum up a 20 plus relationship in 12 mins unbelievable.
80s and 90s players have this eloquence that's quite absent in today's players... He's always that way. Just watch his college interviews, post-game interviews and press conference, and talk show interviews.
@@jimdenzer7784 The hall of fame speech was for himself so Jordan didn't care what others thought about it. This speech was for Kobe so Jordan made sure it was about how much he and others loved Kobe.
Jordan took communication lessons early on his career when he realized he was going to be in front of the camera often.
@@elmalloc, when? But most of them do. But i don't think he did.

Man it’s been 6 months and I’m still not over this😔
I’m still freaked out about it I read all the autopsy reports and it’s a lot to take in.
Forgot all about it now it came back feels unreal feels like Im gonna cry
Rip
D D I wanna read them
But after hearing they couldn’t identify my man and the dismemberment of parts I just couldn’t stomach reading them smh
same 😭😭😭😭
3 years later and I still can't believe. He had so much left in his tank to complete. RIP Kobe. Jordan you put a big smile on his face from heaven
Wow
why you gotta make me cry
I think about the moment he knew they were in trouble,and going down, his daughter must have looked at him and said daddy,, I can just imagine him putting his arms around that beautiful little girl an comfort her,, to the family sorry for ur loss, Rest in peace to u an ur daughter , BIG LOSS
years later it still hurts. rip to the last of the greats 🙏🏽
Same watch this again instantly made me cry
the true greats are the ones that sacrificed their life for your freedom so you can pin a basketball player up on a pedestal
@@cindybates68 thats such a dumb way to think hollyyy
@@cindybates68 bro he meant great basketball players. Why did you feel the need to mention that?
@@cindybates68 yeah like Thor and spiderman! RIP tony.
"When Kobe Bryant died. A piece of me died." Jordan NEVER allows himself to be in the public eye. or show emotion. Kobe really meant the world to him and it shows.
Agreed,some people like to be emotional just to show that they "care"
@@andriakoblianidze7816 absolutely. I just saw a clip someone made when him a d Kobe where going up against each other and Kobe knocked him down. Dude tried help Jordan up and he moved his hand because Kobe started play punching him and then pulled him up and they hugged with so much laughter. It was touching man.
kahnsealable that dude was T-Lue looool.
kahnsealable he didn’t mean the WORLD to him I’m sure his kids mean the WORLD To him, he just meant a lot like a younger brother
Your clearly not a Jordan fan are you ? 😂
MJ lost his father to tragedy too and now his "little brother." Heartbroken.
if i had to guess, the death of Kobe is probably the most painful for Jordan since his Dad was murdered
>>Well, sport in generell lost his little brother...K.B. :(
SOID! (ON-LY)!!! HIS! (AIRNESS)!!! SOID! CAN! (F-L-Y)!!!
Yeah and Jellybean lost a son and a granddaughter all at the same time
@@pureblack3363 and your point??? Sorry for that lost how tragic. Life is full of traumatic events.
"When Kobe Bryant died, a piece of me died" I just dropped a tear when I heard that. Still can't believe he's gone forever. RIP Kobe your legend lives on in our hearts.
Timestamp? I can’t find it?
@@BxkedBeanz11:26
MJ giving Kobe his flowers is what we needed … One of the classiest heart felt eulogy’s of all time!
RIP KOBE 💐
“ it’s rare to find friends like that” that hit hard
@Terran M keep smoking that shit you're on and keep out of things you know nothing of
This was hard for alot of us.
RUclips maga ugly truth and watch the Kobe Bryant the 38 minute presentation.
RUclips Russian vids and look at the Kobe Bryant information.
This is all a staged hoax.
That's why Kobe had a nike commercial where he destroys the helicopter that Kanye West was in by throwing in a detonator basket ball toward it....
Also there was a cartoon where Kobe crashed in the helicopter fire to his stage to fake crash site and subsequent fake death.
1st and foremost his helicopter was black and the crash site shows what looks like remnants of a blue and white vehicle Fender panel... With 2 canisters of smoke emitting white fog....
Now if the impact they are saying in the news was a helicopter falling from the sky and disintegrated then where is the fire at the crash site? And how did the fire of the helicopter put itself out before the fire department or rescue workers arrived? Where is the black smoke at Kobe Bryant helicopter? There is an oil and fuel inside the vehicle as well as rubber tires and plastic parts they would be black smoke at the crash site where was it?
You are all gullible fans of a satanic Freemason controlled NBA falling for a fake idols who rape girls and pay them to get out of court to get back on the court.
The world is a stage and narcissistic ego archetypes run the human herd with "entertainment" And archaic codes so called laws.
Don't give any of them your soul energy✌🏽👁
Nobody was a bigger MJ fan than Kobe.
Rip Kobe and gigi
He looks just as devastated from the loss as much as he did when he lost his father
For real😔😔
that;s right...his father was murdered..right? dayum..
💯💯💯
@Saint Germain actually if you do research, he quit because he was asked to leave the NBA while he got his gambling under control. Don't believe everything you hear.
TraumaER I’m hearing this from you so do I believe you or not?
This is why MJ is the GOAT. Even in a well post-retirement Eulogy speech, the man delivers. What an epic, moving, and perfect tribute to his friend. MJ for the win...again!
This is what I love about the 80s and 90s era of players... the respect they have for one another.
Exactly
Not all
Meanwhile MJ and pippen don't like each other nor does Isaiah Thomas and him 😂😂
@DonJr-ug3rq Pippen lost a shit ton and f thomas.
All his life, Jordan wanted someone who worked as hard as he did, to give 3000% like he did, to push to win like he did. He found that in Kobe. Hence, the mutual admiration and respect. Love is the strongest feeling and it shows here.
@H Yep, both had a similar length of 6 f.5 or 1.98 meters too and of course a thirst to give it their maximum and going a full %110. One became an inspiration for the other. Jordan's speech for Kobe is a keeper.
The only 2 people other than Jordan that I've seen give 100% effort every game is kobe and westbrook..
That's probably why he gravitated to both Tiger Woods and Derek Jeter. He's very good friends with both of them. They always gave their all in their sports. All three have had very close relationships with their parents.
You must have missed Larry Bird
Couldn’t have put it better myself
The death of Kobe Bryant is one of those things where everyone is affected in some way. Even if you weren’t a basketball fan, you knew who Kobe Bryant was, and it was devastating when the news broke.
Yeah I'm from UK and I don't ever watch nba I still knew abt kobe. It shocked me still tho shows how much of an impact he had
That’s so true bro. I knew who Kobe was. But like I never ever watched anything about him. As soon as I heard about his death I just had this strange feeling that people were gonna be like devastated about it. And I was right. Jesus man, may Kobe and Gigi Rest In Peace.
Exactly. Even for me who doesn’t follow basketball, I was effected by Kobe’s death. What messes with me most though was his daughter’s passing. She was just a kid and had her life taken from her before it really started
@@paulmoore5392 yeah same that's what gets me the most aswell in his daughter
She was just a kid:( feels so bad
Very true. I'm the least athletic person you'll ever meet and I have basically no interest in sports but when my mom told me "Kobe Bryant just died!!" I was like "WHAT?! ....no way...." and thought it was a hoax. I was bawling my eyes out watching his memorial. He's just one of those names/people you always hear about and have an appreciation/understanding of their cultural impact. I'll always remember the boys in middle school (circa 2004-2007) would shout "KOBE!" whenever they'd toss something into the trash lol. He was sorta omnipresent, never would've thought he'd go like this.
One of the most powerful moments in sports history, and American history
💯
This was one of the greatest farewell speeches I have ever heard. Rest in peace Kobe Bryant.

“If you have a strong passion for something, you will go to the extreme to try to understand it or try to get it”. - MJ
I have never seen michael jordan so emotional. Tremendous moment right here.
JEZZE4322 Only when his dad died.
when he won the championship after his father passed away
Ikr it’s so heartbreaking
Its sad
JEZZE4322 I'm WITH YA on that!!!!!!!!! NEVER seen Michael SOO VULNERABLE or emotional!
Now we've lost Chadwick Boseman, this year has been nothing but pain and people's suffering.
... 😔
Fancy seeing you here this early man...But fr tho, we only losing so many things this year and barely gaining.
true
Oh hi again, but we did lost Chadwick rip a legend
Yup you again
I feel like Michael Jordan passed the torch to Kobe Bryant to make him an NBA legend and to keep the NBA popular. I think that's what really made MJ break down in tears when he made this speech. RIP Kobe Bryant. 😢
It took me until the start of 2024 to watch this speech because I just couldn’t bare it. I still can’t believe Kobe is gone, man.
I’m still not over it yet either… still feels like it was yesterday
"If you have a strong passion for something you will go to the extreme to go and get it"
- Michael Jordan
Year that stuck with me
That didn’t make sense when I first heard it lol but now I don’t know how I didn’t understand it it is so simple yet complicated
@@winz319 same
Exactly ❤
But that still does not guarantee you’ll get it.
"I would say good morning, but it's afternoon."
"I wish I could say hello to him, but I have to say goodbye."
Watching this rn and man oh man reading that back hurt
What was the point in Michael saying that?
when you need a afternoon speech but all you have is morning speeches
Will Sterry could you elaborate on that ?
@@johnstarks8831 when you wanna say good morning, but it's afternoon, it's too late. You are too late to say good morning. It's an analogy for death because it's too late to do anything with them as soon as they have passed. You want to see their eyes alive and well. You want to say hello to them, but it's afternoon. Until the next day, you cannot say good morning. Until the afterlife, you cannot be with them.
So either it was a very simple way to start a speech or MJ is a poet. I prefer the latter.
The fact he has a stadium full of people who loved him in some way or another is incredible. Speaks volumes to who he was as a person and a player.
Man it's been 2 years and I'm not over kobe being gone. 😔
Facts bro I just got recommended Kobe's interview after losing to the spurs and saying he'd work to exhaustion and got sad
He's really gone man. But the mentality and passion we carry on
Literally dawg

Rip 🐐🐐
Well well well How the turntables I remember when it happened. I was asleep when a buddy of mine called me to tell me. I didn’t want to even think about it. I didn’t stop crying once that day. The days after that were the longest days of my life. It felt like days until the full story of the crash came out on that day. It felt like weeks before the reactions from shaq and tmac and so many others came out. Rest in power mamba ✊🏾
When Michael Jordan speaks, you shut up and listen.
Truth
B O B Spelled backwards : ok idiot. Maybe they wanted to give him a ceremony that was appropriate for a global superstar. Plus, it ain’t your husband, or your dad, or your teammate. So kindly STFU.
@B O B Spelled backwards you guys have internet access at the funny farm? damn
Who ever is on that 🎤 you should shut up, even a cry baby
Lequeen 3-6
I have to revisit this often because of the power that it holds. Much respect to the goat!
Jordan lost his father and his little brother..Thats two people who knew he was the gonna be and was the best person ever.. Love you Jordan... You'll never be forgotten... Kobe also!!
Out of everyone that spoke, MJ shed the most tears...there must’ve been so much he wanted to tell Kobe, but never got the chance to.
Shaq looked dead inside bro he wasnt ready to give a speech about his boy, he just read his lines and got off the stage
💯🎯 you nailed it
@@armhawk13 he recently lost his mother & sister now Kobe. He said he can barely sleep anymore
I think it's just the opposite... I think they did share a lot between one another and that's why it hurt so much. We all have that one person, and only they get us.
Abdul Wahid Nah, that’s not Jordan’s style to verbalize his emotions. Never has been. There was definitely an unspoken respect and admiration between them. There was a lot of people that wish they could’ve told Kobe how they appreciated him. Like McGrady.
Kobe was the basketballing son MJ never had, and lost.
Edit: to those offended I want to clarify I don't know anything about MJ's children, and by basketballing son I also felt Kobe was, despite everyone else, the only MJ competitive and winning character alike he had the chance to embrace, "sponsor", support and witness succeed. The only player MJ could see himself and his ever known unhuman winning and competitive force reflected. Reflected or even surpassed. That along with seeing him go.
Brother
@Dixin C. I think MJ looked at Kobe as the only other guy who wanted to win as bad as he did. Whatever it took...Kobe would do.
Ivanvlogz Doesn’t he have 2 sons that played basketball tho?
brother. MJ sees Kobe as his equal
take out the never. lII practices.
It speaks volumes how people near immediately rose to applaud him. What a speech. Thank you MJ.
MJ only ever comes to events when they are extremely important and you can tell this meant a significant amount to him. Respect.
I never heard MJ speak his long other than his HIS acceptance speech
debsworld on god lol
He's an amazing public speaker just like kobe. Both cut from the same cloth
Better than Adam Silver
My first time in over 20 years, I see a raw, transparent, humbled Micheal Jordan, respectfully....
Yeah that doesn’t come along often but when it happens he does it with class
Here on Kobe’s birthday , I still can’t believe he’s gone..
RIP Kobe. Wish he was still hear. He was to young to die. :(
So sad man... so unbelievable

And now Chadwick Boseman is gone. R.I.P
@@johnmurray8379 my favorite avenger. Wakanda Forever..
MJ and Kobe the Real Goat of the NBA. Never flopped
I am absolutely astounded by MJ time and time again.. Such a perfectly crafted eulogy. I feel like more often than not these sort of high-profile eulogies are usually so deliberate and rehearsed that they actually begin to ring a bit hollow.. They start to feel like they're all cut from the exact same template. There's all these stock phrases and expressions that people feel like they absolutely have to jam in by any means necessary. But this one was the exact opposite. MJ managed to retain all the high-profile pageantry while still sharing deeply intimate and personal details about their long-time friendship. I feel so grateful for MJ giving us a glimpse into their interactions through the years, very emotional to listen to but beautiful nonetheless.
When he said when Kobe died, a little bit of him died.
Bruh that shit hurt..
Wow you just read the title
Coming from Michael Jordan, that means a lot.
Factz dat shiiii hit hard bro 💯
Yeah because Kobe was legit the closest to Michael Jordan
😭😭😭
When Michael Jordan speaks everybody listens. He spoke with compassion toward Kobe as his good friend. It still hurts me to know Kobe and his daughter and the other 7 died so tragic.
Blessed To Be Living they did listen, but they sounded way too cheerful

When Kobe played or practiced basketball he always left it all on the floor. Gave it his ALL. When it came to his family, he did the SAME. IN ALL that you do in life, leave it all on the floor! Treat it all with the same passion n u will be GREAT like he was.
shit... I still share tears after all this time, kobe was a really cool dude and a fearless mofo, I went to los angeles a few days after he died, all the buses and trains in the city had kobs's name on them, people wearing the lakers jersey's everywhere, dmn, one of the most overwhelming feelings I've ever felt
Imagine kobe looking down, seeing his idol, his hero, giving such a heartfelt and beautiful speech at his funeral. Rip mamba, gigi, and all those who were lost.
Hate to break it to you but the Bible never says after you die you go to heaven. The dead know nothing until God comes back. Rip to them all 💔💔💔💔☹️😢
The saddest thing is Kobe was supposed to live longer than MJ. I fuckin hated Kobe Bean Bryant but grew to respect him, and his ethic. He finally became aware once he gained that glory he knew he could achieve. He absolutely gave back with security the way he praised players, which he lacked at a young age (I'm same age as him so I know when a guy is a BSer). I was genuinely touched by Kobe's passing.
Ant News Reporter it’s awful to see people who don’t read the Bible fully and thoroughly to try to state things that just aren’t true

Disgusting and shameful to put an ad right smack in the middle of this.

Disgraceful, absolutely disgraceful. I don't think the NBA even monetized these Kobe videos.

@@j.riffney7939 I remember when that tragedy happened, I guess I didn't follow it close enough. I know it tore MJ up for a while, but I never saw him break down over it. He did baseball after that, but eventually came back to his true love, basketball.

the fact that he is crying made this so sad, he cares he really does, and i felt like i could feel his pain through his tears.
It really did make it that much more sadder to watch & when you go back & listen to kobe talk he says how people couldn't understand how willing Michael was to take him under his wing & teach him any & everything he was asking about! That's how you know the bond was unreal. Sucks your always gonna get classless people making dumb comments about stuff cause they have no real purpose in life but it's gonna happen so you just gotta ignore them. I felt the same thing you did watching this bro!
MJ taught Kobe everything Kobe knew...but not everything MJ knew.
Crocodile tears
800 like but it doesn’t matter
SOID! THE! FACT! IS! THE! (G,O,A,T)!!! BASKET!BALL!!! (P-L-AYER)!!! HIS! (AIRNESS)!!! THE! (L-EGEND-ARY)!!! MICHAEL!!! JORDAN!!! SOID! IS! THE! BASKET!BALL!!! (G,O,A,T)!!! THE! LOSS! ANGELES! LAKERS! NEVER! HAD!
It takes a real man to show his feelings and emotions for someone he loves.
Not really
This!
@Ulysses432Typical ad hominem attack. You cant engage in discussion because you're too stupid.
@Ulysses432 nick's the kind of man women and men don't admire, but nick's a hero in his own mind...
@Ulysses432 funny how you get triggered by two words I post. And then go directly towards my manhood. Says more about you than me.
This was so real. So vulnerable. So human. Imperfect. Genuine. He loved that boy.
Like a true man, he wears his tears with pride.
Ammen!!
Stand tall and f@#$ everyone else!
Absolut correct
👏🏾👏🏾
I've loved MJ back in the tarheels days. He's a true class act and a great role model. Good role models don't exist anymore.
Never let it be said that MJ wasn't a baseball player. He hit a home run today.
Nicely done Mike N.👋 And in fitting tribute to MJ's speech for Kobe and Gigi a perfect 10 slam dunk🏀💯
Well said
👏👏
He did actually play in the mlb though but your statement is well said
Mike N Incredibly well said my friend.
Beautiful speech by Jordan. He was Kobe's hero, which turned into mutual admiration, which turned into friendship which turned into big bro little bro.
Best farewell speech ever,period
This and Billy Crystal's eulogy of Muhammad Ali.
almost 2 years later and i still just cant believe this. rip Kobe.
Has it really been that long :(
@@joshuapowers5590 yeah january 26th 2020
I still cant believe hes dead. Money and fame is nothing. Its so unfair the way he died. He had so much more to do and teach his fans!
RIP MY IDOL
same
Jordan walks up to the pearly gates dressed in his sunday best. Kobe’s there leaning against the pillar with a ball under his arm.
“you bring your shoes?”
Well said
Crying
beautiful
This comment made me cry..
🤣 good comment
His speech hit me in the heart. The tears on his eyes while holding strong to say his speech is beautiful
3 years later and it still hurts just as bad 💔. Its comforting to see the love and admiration MJ truly had for Kobe as a big brother.
"I just wanted to talk about Kobe."
that got me good dude...damn. RIP Kobe
@@donaldmccovid1970 didnt happen
Donald McCovid your probably a white 14 year old kid going through a “phase” that where camo and is in love with trump
@@audrielarios4395 Nope. I'm 42. And i've had enough with Hitler Jr. What in the world makes you think I like Trump?
I'm berating him with my name.
@@audrielarios4395 Are you in love with Trump?
@@atlantarecordsinc.450 Yeah, just lie! That's all ya gotta do! Just..LIE!!
"everyone always wanted to talk about the comparisons between him and i, but i just always wanted to talk about kobe" made me cry
Me too
Diego Quintanilla bro moment 😔
Real...talk!! 💯
Barlitos Santana me too 😓😥😰
Barlitos Santana such a beautiful line
I've watched this video more times than I can remember..and I always come back to it. The love MJ and Kobe had for one another is everything. Their bond being what it was just simply shows how similar they were. Seeing Jordan like this is just heartbreaking. I can't imagine losing my brothers
😢😢😢
2023 an still sad about this 🥺
Rip Gigi N Kobe
10 seconds into his speech and the GOAT is already in tears. Their bond was one only THEY understood…
For once, MJ was looking at a younger version of himself. The mentality, work ethic, passion, drive, the killer assassin within, and focus and love of basketball was literally why Jordan said about Kobe, “He’s cursed as much as I am.”
RIP Kobe, Gigi and all those who died in the tragic accident.😢
Real recognize real. They were kindred spirits. Cut from the same cloth. MJ’s brothers are both older so when he calls Kobe his little bro, he means that.
@@CustomizedUsername great point my friend.
Kobe Bryant: No Jonathan Was Literally The Younger Version Of Michael Jordan You Cannot Tell Me With An Straight Face That Jonathan Doesn't Play Like MJ Stephen Curry: True But He Also Has My 3 Point Shooting Skills So It's The Best Of Both MJ's Footwork And Fundamentals Plus My Quick Jumpshot
well said.
@@CustomizedUsername he was already crying, I guarantee that.
KOBE YOU MIGHT NOT BE EVERYONES GOAT, but you are MY GOAT
My G.O.A.T. too
Mine too my fav bb player
Neil Hood what was the point of your comment?
Neil Hood I seen Kobe play once... and you have every right for him to be your goat
This is the new #MeToo movement 🙌🏽😂
MJ man honestly a legendary speech & cannot watch this without crying
Seeing Jeanie Buss struggling with her tears really broke me. Especially when you heard about how Kobe became a source of strength for her after her Father, David Stern, and her mother all passed away. Credit to her strength for just getting up everyday after such unimaginable loss.
5:28 "he was just trying to be a better person"
That hurt. Real bad.
😭😭😭😭messed me up!
" it's hard to forget someone who gave you so much to remember "
Exactly
Every time I step foot near a basketball hoop I think of Kobe. When I shoot I yell “KOBE”. This guy was. A legend on and off the court RIP man
Tell kobe I love him I cried for six hours
"I promise you, from this day forward. I will live with the memories of knowing that I had a little brother. "
Michael Amaru Blanco
Yeah that's the line that STAYS with me!!❤️
He has two older brothers so you know he meant that
M.J did something I though was impossible, he Just turned "The Most popular meme of all time Shared a billion times" he changed the meaning of the MJ Crying meme forever..
Smart ass idea ...i said the Same thing
Idiot
Do you find this funny tho that's sad
@@kookturner2418 I'd only find it funny if it helped you get likes for your virtue signaling bullshit so you could feel better about yourself.
@Ulysses432 Kobe as well, one of his missions in life was to inspire. There were multiple, multiple ,multiple moments in his memorial that will inspire for years. I feel as if he will have The same effect Bruce Lee had on martial arts. That drive for perfection... Watching Kobe, Highlights have that same, effect that makes your muscles involuntarily twitch.
I mean Vanessa's strength in that moment alone is Legendary.
MJ is a living legend. After Kobes passing makes me appreciate the living legends more.
And that was a truly G.O.A.T. speech...
Jordan lost his biggest fan. That’s where the tears are coming from. So sad.
Real Talk 😓
@Terran M stfu
Wow that’s real
Damn😪 so sad
Kobe was more than a fan! He was family to Jordan and that’s where the tears are coming from. Kobe was Jordan’s biggest fan but tried to hide it from us like we were dumb but we all knew it. Tracy said he would hang with Kobe and Kobe would have him sit down and watch Jordan play. We didn’t know these things until later but he watched and learned and studied Jordan and personally knew him. Jordan let him in and Jordan loved Kobe. He lost a little brother and his pain is of a family member passing. A close family member 😢
