Like if Kobe had a impact on your life ‼️
Me and my cuz always had the Kobe vs lebron argument…at the rim kobe mid range Kobe free throws Kobe 3ball Kobe handles Kobe clutch factor Kobe lebron has blocking rebounding and passing I’ll give em those but the pg is supposed to pass and the pf and c gotta rebound if lebron was 6’2 he wouldn’t be in the league he can’t dribble or shoot free throws he’s a center in a small forward body…most importantly Kobe wouldn’t lose to dirk if he was on the heat instead of lebron bet my life on it
Just shut up with that. The impact he had was on his wife and kids. Kobe wouldn't know the difference between you and a bag of rice if he were alive. Pathetic
Did he pay your bills?
Kobe ❤
No had CONTINES… to have!
I’m from Boston and obviously all Boston sports fan. I loved Kobe when he first came to the league when I young, but then I succumbed to the Celtics v. Lakers rivalry. Because of that, I pretty much hated Kobe for most of his career strictly because he was a Laker great.
The moment Kobe retired, I opened up and started to learn about his craft. Unbelievable what I discovered and realized how crazy nice and good of a person he was; even with all that fame and perception about him.
My only regret is not following him more closely sooner. He’s the only “celebrity” I’ve ever cried over. Still can’t believe Kobe’s not with us anymore. Long live mamba mentality
This sounds like me coming from a Spurs fan. Loved him as a kid. Huge part of me loving basketball today. Had his poster on my wall, then I realized he's a rival and started to kinda hate on him. Maybe not Celtics type hate but it was there. Def the only celeb I shed tears for. MAMBA FOREVER!
❤
Me too! He’s my favorite player and loved rooting against him as a Nuggets fan living in LA and the only Lakers team being my only second team in all sports.
Man everything Derek Fisher had to say was beautiful and very moving. He put it perfectly
My exact thoughts. Thank you for putting it out there.
Agreed. He spoke best. PJ was great too but Fisher spoke most beautifully. Kareem said smart things but he doesn't have the delivery. Great idea to have had Fisher here.
Yes he did @claytonclifford2323
Fish killed it
I remember when Derek Fisher used to be on the Crystal Cathedral!
I miss Kobe so much. 3 Statue's that's how Kobe should be respected.
Who said 3 Jeanie or Vanessa

Respect your parents, he played bball and he was good but that’s it. He’s a human like any other. Your parents should have the praise that you are giving Kobe may he rip.
@@boxingkingg7795 You must be fun at parties
Life if Kobe was the reason you started watching/playing basketball and this just made you cry😭❤️
Kobe will always be my fav player...
I played NBA2K10 back in the days i scored 81 pts 4 ast and 3 reb and i never knew Kobe scored 81 points coz i didnt watch NBA yet coz im still young when Kobe played that night at the Raptors in 2006.
I posted in on my facebook account that i scored 81 points using Kobe...
I scored 85 with him on 5 mins quarters on Hall fame level he was the greatest
I broke Wilts record using Kobe.
They should have had Kobe in that fadeaway or attack dribble pose ! RIP KOBE💜
She said there’s gonna be 3..
8 is that one
24 might be a fadeaway.
@@Jerseyy2010Kobe e o Jordan eram os que estavam indo embora conevrse comigo por favor entre 8/24 para eu poder fazer
Like Vanessa said.. Tough shit
I thought the same thing until I realised this is an actual pose from the end of the 81 point game. The taped up finger and the braced kneed are perfect.
Tough shit
Was 3 beers in, started tearing up and grabbed two more ! Love and miss you Kobe!🫘💜💛
As a raptors and kobe fan, i am so happy that this first statue is of his 81 pt game he had on my raptors.
Love it. Rip kobe.
💯
Imagine how Jalen Rose feels
Kobe was multi faceted, played many years in the NBA, started as a raw talented rookie, learned the NBA game, won championships and accomplished a lot of things off the court. But deep inside he never lost the joy of the game. The moment when he jumped on the scorers table when they won the championship and posed for the fans, showing appreciation for the fans. Also the moment when he tore his Achilles's and limped to the free throw line and made the 2 shots, he was already a 5 time NBA champ and a sure hall of famer. He didn't have to try to shoot the free throws but the tough kid from Philly was still inside him and there was no stopping the Black Mamba.
Not to mention how he became a mentor to so many guys out there right now , he knew he became a role player once he retired guys like Kyrie, Jason Tatum
Long live our 🐐..
King of L.A
Mr.81.

The Date is on point...RIP GIGI AND THE BLACK MAMBA.....LOVE THE STATUE....
Me and my parents watched Kobe at their house many times. I lost both my parents this past year and I hope they meet him and Gigi on the other side. I’ve been crying all day and miss them all. Thank Kobe for creating the memories with my parents.
There will never be another Kobe Bryant, I remember when he first came to the league, I was 6 years old and never stopped watching him, when I got a lil bit older I never missed a game/laker game. Running home fresh off of work to watch him play in the NBA Finals vs Orlando & the Celtics, man Kobe is one of a kind and I miss him every day! The goat 🐐 The love & contribution he gave to the league & fans, his family, teammates is unmatched, mamba mentality is a a movement, not just a statement! only celebrity I cried over/about, shit unreal he’s not here with us! God bless Gigi & Kobe and the others that lost there lives 🙏🏼
this made me emotional man... I really miss having kobe on this earth
It's hard to not miss that smile. I ain't even really the biggest Basketball fan, either.
Jalen Rose taking strays out here!
Man, that Adam Morrison story hit hard. I love team sports because your team becomes your fam. Kobe sticking up for his bro is awesome.
the statue is amazing. I absolutely plan on visiting LA and going to the Arena JUST to see him, and the other statues especially of him and his daughter... I miss you Kobe. so much 💜💛
This man had a HUGE impact on my work ethic. Rip MY goat, Kobe Bean Bryant 🙏🏾♥️
Kobe is literally the reason I started playing basketball and trying to get better at it, he definitely had a huge impact on my life. Rest in peace mamba🕊️
Hope he paid your bills with all that impact. Impact?… thank you parents and your family wtf lol you guys have it all twisted lol
You’re the reason why I loved basketball. Thank you for everything my GOAT! RIP Kobe!

I miss Kobe so much. I looked up to him so much 😢😢❤❤. He's my number one all time favorite legend and I'm so proud to say that I'm a die hard Kobe Bryant fan and Lakers fan for life LAL4L ❤❤🎉😊
Kobe STILL inspires me everyday.. FOREVER BLACK MAMBA. Go lakers!!
That PJ quote about Kobe defending Adam Morrison and the camera panning to Sasha is everything. Phil was actually referring to Jimmy Kimmel as the host who was poking fun. Mamba Forever.
That hit hard. Phil saw Kobe come full circle and mature as a head coach.
R.I.P. KOBE a great man, father all around great human being. R.I.P. GIGI you too will be forever missed.
Don't know about being a great man, that day in Colorado isn't going to go away just because he was good at putting a ball in a hoop.

@@myguy2527Everybody makes mistakes,.. it’s what you learn from those mistakes and what you do after to make yourself a better human being ! Didn’t know him personally but I believe he did just that
I will always remember Kobe’s impact and legacy both on and off the court
He was the definition of a legend and we miss you so much but thank you for the memories you gave us all
Rest in peace Kobe and Gianna❤
I am a girl from Philippines that loves sports most especially basketball. I will never forget that day in the morning i was still sleeping in my room and got up when i heard my brother telling something to my parents, then i found out that Kobe died from helicopter crash. I couldn't believe what he said i thought he was just joking by reading a fake news.. then he said it's true.. I suddenly cried loudly.. I couldn't believe myself crying about it cos I was still young when Kobe played basketball, only his last years in basketball i was able to watch him... but I cried like I've known him for so long. Maybe it's the impact, his impact towards people and me. He's one of the most competitive players while being a great human being with so much love and care for others. We all will leave this world too but Kobe is forever a legend.❤
Man I miss him 😢he loves everything and everyone like if you love Kobe
Bro stfu stop using this man for likes
Mai nessuna persona manca al mondo quanto manca Kobe sia come giocatore che come uomo....Una statua per ricordarlo e adorarlo.....RIP Kobe Ci Manchi.
Kobe Bryant.24 and 8.will always Cherish and Remember ForEver💜💛.
Man Kobe was special to watch. I wish he was still here with us today to see this moment. Love you Mamba.
Kobe you will always be in my heart..you are gone much too soon. RIP Kobe and GIGI 💖✨🤍🌹
I love him, with all of me. My heart aches is his absence, and rejoices in his glory that was pure Mamba. We are humbled, we are penitent, and we are graced to see such an amazing father, husband, competitor, and athlete. Kobe.....you are the pinnacle of all our aspirations🙏🙏🙏. We rest on your wings.
Kobe is only man I cry for , never cry for my wasted own father
Hope you’re good bro, stay safe
My idol man, childhood hero. Obviously I'm still not over it, I can't hold back tears. I'm 37 years old smfh.
That was my guy he was not only my favorite player but my favorite role model because he taught me to never give up and to fight on and to be nothing less than a legend I will miss him forever but thanks for the lessons u never knew u taught me through your life🥹🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾
Mamba 4 Ever! 💜🐍💛
RIP Kobe Your ballin in the sky❤❤❤
Miss him so much. I’m not the same man i am today without him. Much love from Stockholm Sweden.
1 JORDAN
2 KOBE
ALL TIME, ALL TIME.
Sometimes actually
1 KOBE
2 JORDAN
The two best to ever do it, period.
Denzel,
The statue of Kobe they unveiled was from his 666th game where he scored 81 points. 8+1=9
6+6+6=18 (9)
Yesterday date
2/8/2024 (2+8+2+2+4) equals 18(9) like the Divine Nine. Saturn worship
*Saturn = 93/42
*Black History Month = 93
2/8/24 was the 39th day of year.
Super Bowl is on the 42nd day of year. 2/11/24
On the Statue it reads
*Kobe Bean Bryant = 81/54
Kobe Bryant = 58/157/41
*Died @ age of 41
Freemasonry = 58
Like Super Bowl 58
*Super Bowl = 41
Lakers are definitely into Gematria
The Ancient Science of calculating words based on numerical values from Babylonian times.
A=1, B=2, C=3 etc.
*Gianna Bryant = 126/54 like 1/26
#Thelema93 = 157
*Gomar Oz Dabar equals 58
Aka G.O.D #Staywoke
Jeannie Buss said her dad, the late Dr. Buss, was responsible for Kobe being a Laker for life, but she failed to mention GM Jerry West was the reason he was a Laker at all. West was in the audience, but should've been given a seat on stage to give his thoughts.
All the way from Tennessee my absolute favorite player and most exciting player to watch ever. Loved him as a player and loved him as a person as far as I could tell from a far. He was just an all around great human being. RIP MAMBA AND GIGI 😢
I had cried so much for the last 4 years…
Damn D.Fish killed that speech maybe better than MJ
Not close
Up to this day still cant believe that he's gone.
It is smart to have a statue for the 81 points game because it is so fitting Kobe. He wants to enshrine success not just personal fandom going through the motions. And this is a record, a historical record event.
Even in 200 years people could say "oh someone scored 81 points in a game like that and it stood as the most (or second most) scoring game for 18 years (or more) so it was an important game for ... oh a champion who won 5 rings and died young... I can see how special he must have been if he scored 81 points let's see what else he did .." it opens up a conversation. It's a statue of a storyteller. Kobe was a story teller. He didnt know he would die so tragically but he had a sense for humanity and like Kareem said here for history. Very smart.
blessed enough to have given kobe a hug when I was 16 years old
The statue is nice but let’s be honest… the fans want the logo to be changed to the greatest laker of all time KOBE
They were waiting for that date to do this
Well deserved bean. You are inspiration around the world much love! Vino, mamba, the greatest player that I've witnessed for 20 years.
Kobe's fadeaway shot, reverse dunk/lay-up and the triple threat position are always in my memories. #BlackMamba
You are always going to be a legend!
If you love Kobe and his family for real … like this
Vanessa you will probably never see this, but you just seem like the most amazing, strong, incredible person. You are absolutely beautiful and an undeniable reminder of the pure strength a mother can behold. I wish I could do more as a human but I just feel proud of you for some reason. Just keep swimming MaMa Mamba.
The most player that l LOVE THE MOST in the NBA LEAGUE ..The Player that I will always Idolized forever. .SINCE YEAR 2000 KOBE AND SHAQ ERA #MAMBAFOREVER #MAMBAMENTALLITY #MAMBAFORLIFE #LAKERNATION #KOBEBRYANT824
You are always going to be a legend
As a Jazz fan Great memories against this man. "Kobe forever"
Amazing. Kobe Bryant will always be my favourite player and hero i miss him so much 😢 ❤ 💜💛♾️ 8/2/24
If anyone is a Kobe fan watch this and not tear the whole time you must have a stone cold heart.
Better Than Jordan and Lebron!!!!
Black Mamba Forever!!!!! 🐍 R.I.P. Gi Gi
kobe really should be in the goat convo more often
I love Kobe but no he shouldn't
Not if you can't make a good argument. Mike, Kareem and Lebron have the MVP awards X championships to clear
@@silewis9396 Kobe was the face of the league for 10 years and was unguardable virtually. Plus he got more rings than lebron
This was excellent! Everyone who spoke did really well. The statue of Kobe is amazing!
Kobe made me respect lakers has organization i didn’t learn or understand their history they had before Kobe till after he pass so it just made me like him more bc I just knew lakers history that has Kobe and the rings he won for them himself . The dude did what he needed to do to be legend
This was beautiful if you don't get emotional goosebumps then you're not human 2-8-24 for life
Great job honoring his family as well
RIP KOBE, ill never forget the day.
YAY 😁, this is so exciting !!!! 🎉❤😊❤😊❤
Rip KOBE WE ALL MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU FOREVER ♾️ ❤😊❤😊❤😊😊❤😊😢😢😢😢😢😢
Cried again living this tragic event again Mamba GiGI Forever Bryants God Bless
Made me tears when i saw kobe again🔥🥰legend
