Kobe and I are the same age. I remember when he came into the nba and me imagining I was him ,loving through him. When he died I couldn't stop crying. I still get tears thinking about it
Jorel Byssainthe Reggie has been a call-in guest on The Dan Patrick show for yeeeaaars. Like at least 15 years, which is when I first heard him on there. Dan used to introduce Reggie as Reggie Aloysius (al-o-wish-us) just to be funny. So Reggie, for his own sort of rebuttal, referred to Dan as Daniel Theodore. Over the years Reggie has just morphed it to just Theodore. Search for any Reggie Miller appearance on the DP show and you’ll hear the same. There’s dozens and dozens and dozens of times that he’s been on there. They’re really close
Never liked RM when he was playing, thought he flopped too often and complained all the time but after getting to know him on DP"s podcast, the dude is legit. Thanks for the honesty RM! RIP Black Mamba...
What set Kobe apart from the rest was his thirst for knowledge to always do and he better! He was an extremely smart, articulate person who never stopped trying to be a better player and person.
Glad Dan Patrick and Reggie are here to put a little of this into perspective and tell some stories. Dan Patrick is the GOAT of sports interviews. When he is done, not sure who will take his place. Kind of like when we lost the giants of news coverage and now we are left with garbage like fox news and cnn.
@@unknownx7252 Agreed. Thought KB was an asshole when he was playing but like Reggie Miller, who I didn't like either, DP's podcasts have shown me a different side to these Ultra Alphas. DP is the very best in the business as far as I am concerned.
Even tho KOBE is gone I’d like to thank him for my childhood memories have tons of stories I can tell my grandkids about the guy they called the BLACKMAMBA!! RIP
Stories on top of stories, but more importantly lessons about responsibility, hard work, drive and commitment. I wasn't THAT big of a Kobe fan, but like so many non Lakers fans, I grew to respect and admire him over the years, kinda like Tom Brady. After retirement, I caught a couple interviews with him on RUclips, but I guess it took a little bit before I noticed him showing up around basketball, always with Gigi (I was coaching my son's team at Lower Merion High School at the time of the crash). As a Dad myself I appreciated and admired that side of Kobe, and I'm really sad he's gone.
Kobe was awesome as a NBA, family with a Beautiful soul. Prayers goes out to the Bryant family (Kobe and Gigi) along with 7 other members that died in the crash.
Good job Dan you handled this so well! You added the sentiments to Reggie's comments to tie a perfect bow around celebrating our idol... The legend, the caramel cat.
Kobe was relentless, a beast daemon to all who apposed him (Constantine). Work ethic of a poor man who had nothing (Pacquiao). A real man who loved his daughters and wife (Kobe).
I remember growing up everytime me or one of my friends shot a piece of paper or garbage in the trash we would yell kobe. He was our MJ and their was nobody like him
Deandre Ray i was born in 89 n Kobe was my idol/hero. Kobe was My Jordan and a lot of others Micheal Jordan . Shit so sad man , way to young to go n especially his little girl. Rip Kobe n gigi
a commentator mentioned what Kobe did for the African American community...and i immediately was struck, "He's black?" I never saw color w Kobi...ever...that is powerful.
Jamaal Shelton he inspired young NIGGAS.. yes I said niggas. All my niggas and homies were fucked up over this tragedy.. not only bc of the nature of the accident but bc he was a hero and idol for our community
I know this show, was aired Monday, after this awful, heart wrenching, crushing tragedy. It’s truly sad, that Kobe, and Gigi was still alive, at this time last last week. week. Gianna was on her way to becoming a smart educated star in highschool, a woman NCAA basketball player, and even a WNBA superstar. (I know this will sound stupid), but i wish there was some way to time travel back to tell him. I wish Sunday morning somebody could go back in time, and warn him! I know not to never question why to god, but this one hurts! At least Kobe took Gigi to church before the accident. Just goes to show what an incredible father he was. He wanted Gigi to be anything she wanted to be, because she would have been great at , but also put god first, even if the kids had to wake up early. He was such a loving human being with his wonderful kids, and his amazing wife. Im in Houston, Texas, and its after 5am, so my apologies if I butchered spell checked snd miss s few commas. I’m still having a hard time finding the words, to express do Kobe, and Gigi justice. As well as the other kids, parents, Kobe’s hand picked assistant coach. I’m from Houston, felt like Kobe was the last old school school player from that gritty determination to win a championship. Just like MJ, & Kobe those 2 didn’t cry to their GM, ornasked to be traded to finals contenders or bust. I know Lebron is a laker, but I’m old enough to remember watching MJ in his prime, then likewise with Kobe!! Kobe, and MJ were in a class of there own!! With that being said, as much love I had for Jordan. Kobe was the last throwback player, that learned the game from Reggie Miller, and Michael Jordan! he played 20 seasons, never asked for more superstars, to win, or ask to change teams to join forces with other stars, to win championship! He stayed with LA thru thick, and thin. I know Lebron is a Laker, and is one of the greats, but sorry MJ, and Kobe, will go down as the top 2 GOATS 🐐 RIP KOBE, GIGI, and those other families
I don’t know Kobe and he didn’t even know my existence. I knew him as one of the greatest basketball players someone l only gotten the chance to see on TV with a great heart very helpful to others, great star, a world greatest role model, my son’s favorite player on and on. After Michael Jordan I become a 100 % Lebron James Fan. To be honest I really didn’t like him because when he used to get one in one with Lebron James he made him feel a lesser player offensively and defensively now I feel completely destroyed mentally, physically, emotionally and on every aspect of my life. I sitting here thinking if l really don’t know him that much...imagine those people who really know and being around him I think those people feel like they are in the worsting planets world of their life. Therefore the best thing we could all do for him is asking God to forgive and Bless him to the maximum. May his daughter’s and his spirit Rest In Peace with tremendous force and courage to his family and all his surroundings. He will always be missed. Love always to all and May God helps us to go thru to this sorrow.
Michael Jackson’s death was sad and still is but for some reason, Kobe’s is just more sad and it’s really affecting me. I was in middle school when he first came on to the scene. The teen magazines said he went to prom with brandy, he was on “sister sister”, a young guy to play for the league... I’m in my 30s and maaaannnn, it hurts. Days will be better but the pain will never leave
The funny thing was that Kobe could've gotten immersed in the Hollywood lifestyle of sex, drugs, rock & roll but he abstained from it (the last 2 anyway) and focused almost entirely on basketball. That couldn't have been easy as a 17 year-old new to LA. That's what made Kobe better than others.
Yeah...I feel the same way. Michael Jackson's death was big as it shut down the whole internet but Kobe's is even more sad for some reason. The crazy thing is...I HATED Kobe as a player the moment he entered the league because he was trying to steal a certain player's moves/mannerisms/shine/etc but he was a very interesting person to listen to his last year and even in retirement.
Michael Jackson's death was a shocker but he looked frail the last few years. MJ lived a bizarre secretive life and even his death was clouded in mystery. Kobe's life and career was more of an open book, and he was healthy and full of ambition. Their deaths hit most people hard because they were worldwide icons.
There was a Tweet yesterday that someone’s friend a girl goes to the same Catholic Church that Kobe goes to and was at mass yesterday before the tragedy what a comfort for us mourning to know that Kobe was worshipping Jesus Christ and received in the Eucharist the body, blood , soul and divinity of Jesus, so to Kobe his beautiful daughter GiGi and the Bryant family God Bless You All ..
HaleysComet81 we’re all going to die at some point. Life without faith in Jesus Christ at the forefront of our lives, as He was for Kobe, is fruitless. Although I’m sure Kobe had no idea his time to be with Jesus Christ was here already (as none of us ever do), he prepared as if it was which is the point of John’s post. Your comment is very short sighted and immature and you’re in my prayers for a conversion of heart.

1. Kobe's new shoes are called Kobe A.D. (meaning After Death) 2. Comedy Central predicted in 2017 Kobe dying in a helicopter crash in the cartoon ep. End of Days !!! Literally. 3. For his new shoes (Kobe A.D.) Kobe did a Nike commercial about his own funeral !!!
@@Yogi5D I said Google what the word means not ask Google what Kobe's shoe means. AD have never been used as abbreviation for after death. The meaning is latin,so Google it. Kobe was a genius, so why would he be basic and use AD as after death.
@@Yogi5D Kobe Bryant marked his retirement from basketball in 2016 with the Kobe A.D., signifying a year of growth and transformation for the 18-time All-Star. "A.D." stands for anno domini, Latin for “in the year of the lord,” or year 1. A new birth,because he was retired. Come on man,Kobe would want you to think...
It's just a fake middle name in response to Dan calling him Reggie "Aloysius" Miller - Aloysius is not Reggie's middle name. It's been going on for so long I don't think a lot of people even ask the question anymore.
I whole heartedly disagree with reggie miller. Reggie Miller is nothing like kobe. There is levels to this game and reggie can NEVER compare himself as the"same" as kobe.
Very sad what happened to Kobe and his family. But it was no accident. Look up dotnoso or .noso on Twitter. He posted back in November 13 2012 that Kobe would die in a helicopter crash. There was also a cartoon that showed Kobe in a helicopter crash. Very sad but it was no accident. Evil exists but evil has done already lost!
It was known that Kobe used helicopters all the time. Your evil sounds like a shitty cartoon making fun he would crash one day and a fan saying the same thing. Evil is us not loving what we got.

I really like how DP says I LOVE YOU to Reggie Knowing how sad they both were:)
The main thing is that, every time you leave, tell your family you love them. You never know if you're coming back. Life is short and unpredictable.
