Not a Laker fan but my appreciation for Kobe increased each passing year. When he retired I respected his transition to other things - the analysis, the documentaries, the family stuff. When someone called me yesterday to pass on the news I cried like a baby. That was when I really realized how much I appreciated him.
I wasn't cuz he always beat my favorite players like Iverson and I always went for the under Dog which Kobe wasn't but I always respected him as a competitor.
John Damon Walls The Romans used sports to calm the Roman citizens down during their conquest of the world. I believe it’s used as a distraction from the reality of life.
You can tell in the last couple of years, Colin’s admiration of Kobe exponentially grew since his retirement and was one of the few public sport personalities that gave Kobe the credit he deserves, and always reminded the public of his greatness. Salute to Colin for being real about Kobe before any of this happened and always keeping his greatness in perspective making sure his younger listeners would do their research, and put perspective on Kobe’s greatness. Something barely any other sports personalities would do outside of Skip.
@@maxb4416 dude shut tf up man seriously. Why bring lebron in this. Respect the dead. Y'all stupid fans are still worried about who's better. The man just lost his life and won't get to see his family again
He technically did and he told the story himself at jimmy fallon. (How he learned the referee's placements to get away with calls when he needed to). That's still practically cheating someway. But its a very Kobe-like way of doing so. 💜💛
You know how you can tell if someone is a generational Talent, you only have to say their first name and people will know who you're talking about......Kobe was one of those!!
SydneyPhotography2019 I know right? My heart is broken for everyone enfolded, but those 3 little girls on that flight just take it to another level. It’s so devastating.
What makes it times worse was this season in the NBA you happened to see Kobe and Gigi courtside bonding with each other. You see him giving her tips and letting her meet the athletes, he was giving her hands on experiences to get a feel for the game. It worked for Steph Curry.
Kobe’s impact not just on LA but as a global icon is unprecedented. This is not a loss just a celebration of life, may he Gigi and the others rest in paradise.
@@drankvangundy8127 The dude said Kobe impact on the global was unprecedented . Unless he doesn't understand what unprecedented means then he is the dumb one
I feel for Colin. The more and more you talk about Kobe, it gets harder & harder to fight the urge to cry. Respect to Colin, loved the segment. RIP MAMBA
As a father of young girl myself, this hurt me the most, when I heard what happen to Kobe I was devastated, when I heard Gigi was also on the flight, I was heartbroken
Starwut Wibuloutai, I feel ya bro. It’s deeper then words can describe. Scared shitless and trying to tell her you will make sure she is safe.... kills me man.
I'm over here thinking "why are all of these sports shows in Miami right now?" Then remembered it's Super Bowl week. Not much can make us forget the Super Bowl is approaching. This does.
Yeah. Kobe was the first laker to have Shoes that I BOUGHT. Both Adidas and Nikes'. And My money is a covenant. RiP to All that perished in that crash.
The amount of professionalism shown by Colin throughout this segment was amazing. I don't care what you think about him and his opinions. This man is one of the best media heads in sports right now and we should all recognize that. Well done Colin and RIP Kobe!
Busta Colin can be ridiculous, but he makes a analyst when it comes to judging ones character. He makes a lot of great points, as much has he can be a meme sometimes, he really has given a new perspective on life and things for me Atleast.
In your heart you know that’s true. There will never be another player that makes you miss bathroom breaks like that man did! I’m pretty sure he ruined my bladder!
Now everyday he ruining my stomach from the pain. I still can’t accept this happened. Over 7 months have passed still can’t believe it. To think I used to hate this guy killing my team growing up. I never thought his last game in Laker uniform would be against that team. Same as MJ in a Bulls uniform. It’s almost eerie how similar they were. Yet MJ is still here. Grateful we still have 1 of the 2 best ever alive.
I've cried, a lot. Me being a Lakers fan and fanatic of Kobe Bryant. He was my goat. Im sorry for Vanessa truly and to GIGI siblings sorry baby girls. #farewellKobe #MambaOut
Colin was fighting the urge to cry. You need to remain in control of your voice as a broadcaster and he did damn well. But sharing such a strong connection with Kobe was going to be difficult. I feel for him like we all do. Losing Kobe when he only retired 5 years ago is still unreal.
So true what he said about music and sports uniting people. It’s sad that 2020 just barely begun and we already lost Neil Peart and Kobe...two massive legends 😪
Kobe facing death with a brave heart, fearless. But seeing how much he loved his daughters and the connection he had with GiGi, that breaks my heart that she had to go too. I can only imagine the horror and pain if there was a moment he realized they weren't surviving and there's nothing you can do to save your little one. Worst way to go :(
Well, I’m thinking they were taken out too quick to even acknowledge what was happening. They had 0 visibility through the fog and it’s projected that they went 160-175 mph right into a mountain then into an explosion. They blinked and everything was over, hopefully there was no suffering and there wasn’t much of a moment of feeling hopeless.
I remember hearing on the news about a month after the crash that when the first responders were recovering their bodies they said that they found Kobe holding his daughter GiGi....not sure if that was true or not...from other details of the crash supposedly with no warning the helicopter smacked straight into the mountain because the fog was so thick and thete was very poor viability....hopefully that's how it happened so that all of them didn't know that they were going to crash and die...so sad for all of them...may you all continue to R.I.P..
Yup, usually he's that stern dad who's always criticizing your work, believe me, i had one but today, he showed the other side of the dad which we really don't get to see or hear.
Kobe will always be my GOAT because he was my generation & I’m a life long Lakers fan. First time I ever cried for someone who wasn’t a family member or close personal friend. Love you, Kobe & Gigi. I miss you 💜💛🐍✌🏾
I made a RUclips video list of just Kobe content but just watched this particular video as it's Kobe's birthday today. Well said, Colin. 👍🙏👏👏. RIP Kobe & Gigi
Jordan is like a myth a legend, something not many people were able to see or believe including myself. Kobe lived that myth in front of the eyes of everyone.
I really love how he talked about him being flawed. Kobe wasn’t perfect, no one is. But he really seemed to learn from his mistakes and do better. It’s important to see people for all of who they are and make peace with that as best you can, in life and in death.
I have watched this so many times I don't even know what number times this is. It is the most heartfelt, authentic, analytic, and articulate reflection of Kobe Bryant I have ever heard.
Because we never thought of the possibility. Accidents are the worst way to go. You never had the chance to say your goodbyes. I just hope Kobe left a will to give closure to his family. Same goes for the other adults on board. The deaths of the 3 girls strike me the most.
@@dylanjohnson2327 yeah were so stupid to notice an attractive female. I realize Kobe passed and im sad about it but u have no right to judge or think how someone should deal with mourning. Not everyone is like you get over yourself.
"" it hurts, it should, no reason to explain""... Sir Collin that sums up it all. And yes I'm hurt. This has devastated me. Rest easy Kobe and ur lovely daughter and all who passed on. And to those who have lost loved ones, I say sorry n may CHRIST console y'all as we also live for HIM n love each other.
Colin, Jerry West, Jay Williams, and TMac have all had the best takes on Kobe’s passing. This is truly one of the saddest moments in sports history. I honestly feel more worse that GiGi also perished. She had the potential to completely change women’s basketball, the WNBA, and women’s sports in general. May their souls rest in paradise
“Shaq Kobe and Paul Gasol Kobe” Absolutely right, just cuz they didn’t get a second threepeat, Gasol was that critical piece on the level of Shaq. Gasol might not get his jersey retired but he deserves it.
This is such an amazing eulogy! It takes a lot of courage to put your emotions out there in front of millions of people. I admire Colin more than ever now.
Thank you for your words. I was confused why a man, i never met, death could impact me so much. I appreciate the example Kobe was and the inspiration he had in my life
I’ve been listening to The Herd since I was in college (mid 2000s). Love Cowherd, whether he is right or wrong. But hearing him break down at the end of this segment remains one of my most cherished memories of The Herd. Colin showing a bit of his humanity, a shared humanity with us. It was beautiful.
Molly's Unborn Child the news on Kobe hit me hard man, i actually cried yesterday when I heard the news. That being said, Joy is so hot that it made me not think about Kobe's death for a few short seconds
Never has the loss of a celebrity I’ve never even met hit me so hard. It’s been a little over 2 months and not a day has passed where I haven’t thought of Kobe and his daughter Gigi. At the very least he’s been immortalized through the legacy that he left behind. He’s inspired an entire generation of people based on hard work, or as we know it, mamba mentality. He wasn’t even my favorite player yet he still served as a huge inspiration to me growing up. I hope you and your baby Gigi are smiling up there. You’ve touched so many of us throughout your journey and we’ll never forget you. Long Live Mamba. Long Live Mambacita.
I remember when Kobe came into the league he was 17 I was 7 I enjoyed every moment he was on this earth everybody know I'm 1 of the biggest Kobe fans ever I was just saying Kobe was the goat the night before he past and the tv screen was stuck on him dunking this really seems unreal may he rest in peace and also the others who lost there lives I'm still shocked hurt and sad a piece of me died when I found out it was true Kobe will always be the GOAT 😓😢😭😔
Kobe was tough as nails. All the fadeways and buzz beaters and impossible shots he made throughout the years was a beauty to watch. Even when I hated the Lakers, you'd have to appreciate his greatness and effort he puts it. His work ethic was crazy as a basketball also. He's essentially our modern generation of Jordan. He inspired an entire generation throughout the world. he's truly a global icon. RIP Kobe!
That’s funny: did you know Bob Marley was part Jewish? And that he LOVED Israel? Funny how that works... Who are the ones who control politics? Who is dividing us? Who rules us? Oh well probably people of a certain tribe we aren’t allowed to talk about. HINT: Bob Marley was a puppet, just like ALL celebrities have ever been.
Jeeeez Colin, that was RIGHT ON POINT!! Thankful to have seen Kobe throughout his ENTIRE career! Was amazing from the start! Gone way too soon! Rip KOBE, Gigi, everyone else on the helicopter. Rest in peace and ty for your life! Thankful to have been in the same era as you! Never take for granted the people you love, things can change so fast.

The way Colin’s voice breaks at the end... I feel ya man...
he wanted to cry the whole time man, he did a great report here. strong man.
Damn!
Tough tough
@Diego Carrillo and he's a very composed guy, but sometimes, you have to let emotion run
He's my favorite sports guy. He keeps it real
Felt every bit of it.
Nothing wrong with tears Colin. You’re only human
What tears?
D Will I was watching live. He chocked up. That commercial break is normal. Usually the opening segment is 15 minutes long.
Or is he dancer
Shame us human beings instead of coming together n honoring ppl, we have to start arguments smh.
@Jason Strom Aaliyah went against the pilot... It doesn't matter what happened, it did, and we'll all follow suit.
This hit a lot of people, even if you weren’t a Kobe fan
Andre true
I thought Kobe couldn't break my heart again, i was soo wrong.
This feels like a family member died, absolutely unreal.
Exactly. He’s connected to us in some way cuz we love basketball.
Not a Laker fan but my appreciation for Kobe increased each passing year. When he retired I respected his transition to other things - the analysis, the documentaries, the family stuff.

My Father use to say to me as a kid. “Sports is the only thing that keeps this country together”!
Ron Jay It certainly doesn’t hurt us. Imagine race relations without sport. I think most everyone is choked up over this.
John Damon Walls The Romans used sports to calm the Roman citizens down during their conquest of the world. I believe it’s used as a distraction from the reality of life.
Sports and music, I believe those are the only 2 things
When people want to get away from politics or personal life drama, what do they turn to? Sports. Sports are a national treasure.
Shilling for big music and big sports...I see ya...
When Kobe said “Mamba out” it was almost like he dropped the curtain and protective alter ego and became real again and more relatable.
THIS is one of the most underrated comments about Kobe
Hamaad Jennings thanks.
Anyone notice the fake president never sent condolences? #votehimout2020
That is an amazingly insightful observation.
Kent Watson this is the only comment I needed to see
This is probably the best segment I’ve seen about Kobe’s passing. Truly powerful
Yaa his takes are always different...
You said it brother .
Agreed. Colin's and Jerry West's vids just broke me to tears man.
Anything other than Zubin Mehenti or Brian Windhorst is fine by me.
Agree

His show is probably the better ones out there, and for obvious reasons. He carries his own show.
This man is so tough he doesn't even give us a chance to see him grow old...
Well said 💯
Rich words!!!
Deyi Yang wow never thought of that
We didn't deserve it anyway.
Wow that's brilliantly put 👏👏
"You don't have to explain." This was the best video Colin has ever done. I needed this.
Same.
Even when he was going through his trials and tribulations; he never cheated the game. Always held his head high. Definitely a man's man.
Damn right
Perseverance and Integrity 💯
@Joshua Haynes Eh, we all do that though lol

@@manorixz lol
Kobe was bigger than basketball. If you played any sport, you could look up to him and gain inspiration about how passionate he was.
TeSean Cook anything in life
Because his mental strength was something no one ever had in basketball not even jordan
You know how you can tell if someone is a generational Talent, you only have to say their first name and people will know who you're talking about......Kobe was one of those!!
That girl in Colorado might have something to say about how inspiring he was.
TeSean Cook oh ye ye very true
Everyone's seen that clip of him not flinching from Bron
I can’t stop crying about his daughter

🙏🏾
@@along58 Yessss...The family of three!@ Oh my goodnes..
Kobe was to LA what Michael Jordan is to Chicago. The entire city loved and idolized him.
And that's saying alot because the Lakers are stacked with Legends before him in L.A. Magic,Worthy,Kareem,Jerry West,Shaq..
Remember he almost went to Chicago
Shane B. That’s beautifully said! 😄👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I think Kobe is more beloved because he's the hero that you could actually touch and talk to. He's a hero but seems more human and flawed. Relatable.
Shane B. + FACTZ

Real talk...his daughter last moments of pure frightening feeling, her probably saying help me daddy....mannnnn so glad I'm not a parent.

Haven't forgotten about the Super Bowl, Cant wait to see it!
joy bringing out the two babies in honor of kobe- god bless u joy
Colin forgot to mention there was Adidas Kobe and Nike Kobe
Yeah. Kobe was the first laker to have Shoes that I BOUGHT. Both Adidas and Nikes'. And My money is a covenant. RiP to All that perished in that crash.
forgot about that!
2003 Kobe and fatherhood Kobe; he clearly became better as time went on
Even Reebok Kobe.

Love Colin over all of them. Always so well spoken. Does his research. Speaks from the heart

It’s because he is family, The laker Family and the Mamba Family 🙏🏽
Not part of the Laker family since Kobe retired. There will never be another so I stopped watching. No one will ever be that exciting to watch again!

So beautifully, beautifully said. His last words made me cry. I watched it 10 times. It's July 2024 n it still hurts. And I never Even saw him play!
Nobody is safe from death. The rich, the famous, the powerful, the good and the bad. It comes for us all.
Most definitely
Facts.....
Jackson K sad fact
Like a thief in the night
what about Trump. That fool is going to live forever.
Love Colin and his passion. Kobe will be missed.
And his daughter as well. Big thoughts and prayers to his family and friends and family of the others in the crash as well.

Well said friend. I've been thinking about him like that, I'm 30.
Haven't watched Kobe basketball. After Jordan last ring I stopped watching. So I missed Kobe and Shaq years. Now I wished I watched him.
I’m same age. I grew up with Kobe. He was my favorite of all time. Broke my
Heart for Gigi and Kobe. Rip bryants
Didn't like Kobe growing up, but every time I would shoot ... "Kobe!"
Jordan is like a myth a legend, something not many people were able to see or believe including myself. Kobe lived that myth in front of the eyes of everyone.
I really love how he talked about him being flawed. Kobe wasn’t perfect, no one is. But he really seemed to learn from his mistakes and do better. It’s important to see people for all of who they are and make peace with that as best you can, in life and in death.
I have watched this so many times I don't even know what number times this is. It is the most heartfelt, authentic, analytic, and articulate reflection of Kobe Bryant I have ever heard.
Me too! I have lost count
Perfectly said Colin. Rest In Peace Kobe and Gianna.
This hurt more than I could imagine
Kobe Dean same :/ I wasn’t a basketball fan too much but this hurts so so much !
Because we never thought of the possibility. Accidents are the worst way to go. You never had the chance to say your goodbyes. I just hope Kobe left a will to give closure to his family. Same goes for the other adults on board. The deaths of the 3 girls strike me the most.
As of now my fave colin video. I respect him so much for doing this the way he did.....

I honestly feel more worse that GiGi also perished. She had the potential to completely change women’s basketball, the WNBA, and women’s sports in general. May their souls rest in paradise
Ice cube was good too and Matt Barnes
Check out Tracy Mcgrady talking about him.
shaq?
“Shaq Kobe and Paul Gasol Kobe”
Absolutely right, just cuz they didn’t get a second threepeat, Gasol was that critical piece on the level of Shaq. Gasol might not get his jersey retired but he deserves it.
DubsBrown gasol going to the hall of fame and brought two chips to the city... he’s getting his jersey retired
Not to mention Bynum, Odom, Artest and Ariza.
Paul gasol? Did he play with Michael Caldwell Pope??
@@stonerkitchen8688 im crying 😭😭
It could have been a 2nd 3 peat if the Celtics trio wasn't put together.
This is such an amazing eulogy! It takes a lot of courage to put your emotions out there in front of millions of people. I admire Colin more than ever now.
Thank you for your words. I was confused why a man, i never met, death could impact me so much. I appreciate the example Kobe was and the inspiration he had in my life
7:43 damn man... 😔
Henry Stikeman I felt the same way, his voice breaking just felt different
I know man. Dayyyuuum Joy looks good today.
Colin dissected Kobe's Legacy honestly and truly. #Mambaout
I’m back watching all of these in tears today. I really miss the mamba 🥺😪
"It's about the work" Gold
Been waiting to see what Colin had to say...much respect Colin. RIP Kobe, thank you for the childhood memories
sports and music. well said colin.
Colin you are at the top of your field. Thank you for being so beautifully articulate in this time of darkness.
I’ve been listening to The Herd since I was in college (mid 2000s). Love Cowherd, whether he is right or wrong.
But hearing him break down at the end of this segment remains one of my most cherished memories of The Herd. Colin showing a bit of his humanity, a shared humanity with us. It was beautiful.
I cried and I'm a Warriors fan. We were born one year apart. Rip Kobe.
*Thank You Joy Taylor* .....👀
...for helping us all take our minds of Kobe for a sec.
Molly's Unborn Child the news on Kobe hit me hard man, i actually cried yesterday when I heard the news. That being said, Joy is so hot that it made me not think about Kobe's death for a few short seconds
You're username!!!! HAHAHA!!!
@@MikeBNumba6 😂 you would be surprised at how few people catch that. So thanks.
@@mollysunbornchild1867 your username has me rolling 😂😂😂
Dude... I saw the focus busters were on full display. I certainly hope Colin doesn't catch a case... 😯😯😯😯
Rip kobe
Damn joy is so fine
I grew up a Jazz fan and watched Kobe over the years and always admired his game. I Feel so bad for his family. RIP.
eliteaviator me too. John Stockton and Karl Malone were my favorite duo before 1996 but I respected Kobe’s grind and work ethic.
I’ve seen almost all the Kobe tributes, but this one was the best. We saw you grow up Kobe and you brought the world together! Immortal!
I listened to Colin that night I was in hospital struggled mentally, his voice inspire me a lot
This was tough to watch.. prayers to his family:( I can’t even begin to imagine the devastation.
What a great segment. My favorite he’s done so far
Love how compassionate Colin is
Came back here for motivation, thank you and we Miss you kobe
Why in 2023 does this still make me cry.
Colin LOVED Kobe, you can tell right from the start that he's been crying all night. Just heartbreaking...RIP Kobe, and we love you Colin!!
Kobe was the Most relatable by every Ordinary Person.
Beautifully said. Honest, articulate and raw. RIP Kobe and Gigi 🥀
After years has passed I’m still in tears after hearing Colin. God bless you 2022
i finally accepted that I’ll never get over it, I’ll forever be emotional when i watch or hear anything about Kobe Bryant..
Never has the loss of a celebrity I’ve never even met hit me so hard. It’s been a little over 2 months and not a day has passed where I haven’t thought of Kobe and his daughter Gigi. At the very least he’s been immortalized through the legacy that he left behind. He’s inspired an entire generation of people based on hard work, or as we know it, mamba mentality. He wasn’t even my favorite player yet he still served as a huge inspiration to me growing up. I hope you and your baby Gigi are smiling up there. You’ve touched so many of us throughout your journey and we’ll never forget you. Long Live Mamba. Long Live Mambacita.
I remember when Kobe came into the league he was 17 I was 7 I enjoyed every moment he was on this earth everybody know I'm 1 of the biggest Kobe fans ever I was just saying Kobe was the goat the night before he past and the tv screen was stuck on him dunking this really seems unreal may he rest in peace and also the others who lost there lives I'm still shocked hurt and sad a piece of me died when I found out it was true Kobe will always be the GOAT 😓😢😭😔
Mose Donald i was thinking abt his legacy the night before too
Kobe was tough as nails. All the fadeways and buzz beaters and impossible shots he made throughout the years was a beauty to watch. Even when I hated the Lakers, you'd have to appreciate his greatness and effort he puts it. His work ethic was crazy as a basketball also. He's essentially our modern generation of Jordan. He inspired an entire generation throughout the world. he's truly a global icon. RIP Kobe!
“ Politics is meant to divide and rule “
- Bob Marley
That’s funny: did you know Bob Marley was part Jewish? And that he LOVED Israel?
Funny how that works...
Who are the ones who control politics? Who is dividing us? Who rules us? Oh well probably people of a certain tribe we aren’t allowed to talk about.
HINT: Bob Marley was a puppet, just like ALL celebrities have ever been.
BTW sports is bread and circuses... sports is LITERALLY part of the divide and conquer/mind control the masses are suffering from.
@@NewNormalWorldOrder Bob Marley's father was a Sephardic Jew...
Ok and?
@@Carlos-sn2ss Truth...can you handle that?
Alot of grown men cried yesterday and still are! Including myself #ripkobe #legend #icon
Jeeeez Colin, that was RIGHT ON POINT!! Thankful to have seen Kobe throughout his ENTIRE career! Was amazing from the start! Gone way too soon! Rip KOBE, Gigi, everyone else on the helicopter. Rest in peace and ty for your life! Thankful to have been in the same era as you! Never take for granted the people you love, things can change so fast.
