Flash bio:
Kobe Bryant had a 20-year career as an NBA Basketball player, an MVP and an Academy Award for his short film “Dear Basketball”. He tragically died from a helicopter crash in 2020, leaving a hole in the lives of those who admired him."
Kobe even looks like a model and exotic, without all the makeup, touch up etc. His beautiful smile is one of the hardest to forget in my photographic memory.
VERY HANDSOME PICTURE.KOBE💟
Ms. Grace thank you for your beautiful comments. When Kobe first signed with the NBA as a 17 year old rookie, I always said that he was blessed with movie-star good looks.🥰

100% AGREE!
He's so handsome❤️😭💔
I swear when I'm already composed and stopped crying - another tribute makes my eyes rain
Right there with you Lexus😪🌟
Same here 😢 I just can’t get over it 😢😢😢
Me too😭😭😭😭😭
Me too. Today makes a month since he has passed away and the grieving process has not gotten any easier for me . I go to the grocery store and see pictures of him on all the covers of magazines. I have to walk away because the pain is so deep God bless you Kobe rest in peace. Forever missed in the hearts of people but never forgotten.
I still cannot accept that he’s no longer here! Beyond words can explain my feelings..
Great job Joe and Pam Bryant. You raised an ICON!!
Good job to the parents of Kobe Bryant for producing a icon Pam and Joe Bryant
So sad they did not enjoy all his triumphs 😭
Such a handsome man. Kobe's smile is a golden light that I will forever hold in my heart.
Who ever photographed that picture it is beautiful.God gave you great talent.
I was at this museum the day he died, crazy. Still can’t believe it
Photo taken in 2007 and he died 13 years afterwards...
Death why?He was very handsome,intelligent, smart,fearless and not afraid to speak his mind,beautiful portrait of Kobe,May God rest your soul.
dont blame it on me
it was the weathers fault
Please can you go and watch Kobe Bryant psychic mediumship on RUclips ,it’s very interesting
@@awisegirlfromtheeast4183
Is that the one where a medium is having a conversation with his spirit?
If that is it, I believe that it is a bit eerie..
When you don't obey your parent's your days will be shorter he haven't spoke to them in 7 years. Kobe wasn't no angel!! And Vanessa karma day coming sooner then ever!! 🙆Please beleive the messenger
It’s sad the way his life had to end in a way that it did
is there a happy way to die?
@@invis477 death by snu snu some people would love to die that way.
Invisible , Believe it or not , yes it is, but you must be in Christ
,@@invis477 Believe it or not, yes, but you must be in Christ
Sudden death is soooooo much harder.😢😢😢😢 If someone is ill, there is a sense of peace knowing there is no more suffering. I know from experience. None is good but sudden is terrible for fam & others that love you.😢😢😢
I am glad that I lived during the time of Kobe Bryant, the goat. Rest easy king.
When I think of Kobe, I think hardest working NBA player ever with Jordanesque killer instinct.
xCH0SEN1x kobeseque*
Mamba= perfect killer instinct
True legends often don't have happy endings..but the impact left behind is🙏🏿
The thing that impresses me most is this beautiful man was connected to every one. It's so obvious that he was loved by not only his family , but so many around the world. So special!!
i keep on crying always when hearing and seeing this tributes....
WE LOVE YOU KOBEEEEEE
Love You So Much KoBe
WE MISS YOU KOBEEEEEE
Favorite picture was when he won his first title. With the jacket on
When I thought about it, it gave me goosebumps. Definitely a memorable portrait of him looking all sad all alone.
@@hipking23 its really iconic. Any other athlete would be happy and joyful. Kobe was going though a lot of bs at that time with his parents not wanting him to marry his wife.
Not surprised, It is needless to say that everyone goes through tough times at some point in life but why a person like Kobe is summarised in a photo like that. A Layman's wisdom would be to pick a photo that has appeared the most(in public) out a hundred thousand images of him as a player, businessman, father, inspirational figure, etc.
When he was crying? If so its mine too. It's my profile picture on Instagram
That was his 2nd championship
😪😢absolutely beautiful!! Beautiful,Beautiful!!!
I wish it was larger because Kobe was larger than life!
This Is Madness I agree. We can reach out to the Institute and ask if it can be...
Monique Miles we really should
Beautiful portrait captured who Kobe truly was. An amazing human being, with the love for his wife Vanessa and his girls. Till this day I cry everyday for him and his Gigi. So much left he had to conquer. He had so much to teach. I can't imagine the pain his family is feeling now. I wish I can take the pain away.
Kobe had so much love and compassion in his eyes 🙏🏼❤️
Kobe was way more then an athlete.
Wayyyyyy More indeed
I was just getting used to not seeing you on the court... Seeing you be off court being a dad was great then that dark Sunday came. Smh miss you KOB!
I love this particular picture they chose. It's just something about it.
Handsome ,they should have chosen the one that showed him with that beautiful smile,
Every video I watch about Kobe I just can't stop crying my gosh. 😥
Greatest Of All Time.
MJ
@@KillaMusiktv1BlACKEYEDCORN durant
Tilman Kuper I’m not mad at that, KD goated but still MJ.
No
Definitely the Greatest!
His smile has touched my heart.
Yes, very illuminating smile.
Beautiful portrait 😍
Beautiful photography of the private face of Kobe Bryant; showcased at the National Gallery, 2007.
You capture the sadness feeling of Kobe! The angle shot is perfect!
Such a devastating tragedy but I'm glad you were able to share this other side of kobe that only is family may have seen!
Kobe so handsome. ..his children even Vanessa has the same smile..RIH Kobe & Gigi ...😢😢😢
😇... Beautifull , 😪😪... picture ,, very overwhelming ,, the look in his eyes ,, my heart ,, hurts 4 his wife ,family, nba ..and the amazing fans , peace ..light n love ,, frm liverpool UK.. 🙏..
He was Beautiful!!
Yes, beautiful spirit as well
This is just so terribly painful.
This is such a Beautiful photo! To me it's as tho his picture is saying "I know I've got to leave here and I Don't Want to right now because I have so many things I still Need to Do" But on a SPIRITUAL Level LET THE WORK THAT I'VE DONE "SPEAK" FOR ME! Kobe WILL be Forever Loved and Missed yet He WILL be Known for Leaving Us to Stay Encouraged, LOVE, HELPING OTHERS and BEING THE BEST YOU CAN BE IN LIFE! Thanking GOD For Blessing Us With You. MAY GOD GIVE THE BRYANT FAMILY AND THE OTHER FAMILIES COMFORT IN THEIR BEREAVEMENT ALSO ALL OF US THAT LOVED HIM.
Debra Johnson
Well said.....
😊👍🏼🙏🏿
No he wasn't thinking like that in 2007. He passed 13 years after this photo was taken.
Very nice 📷 of kobe.
Kobe Bryant was a legend
We love you Kobe.😥😥🙏🙏❤️❤️
I see why they picked this photo it shows a lot of feelings from within its a beautiful photo👀
We love you Kobe RIP
I dont particularly like this photo of him placed in a museum, its a photo of him that displays pain in my opinion. Based on how he passed it should be a more uplifting spirited happy photo of him.
Exactly and the white photographer Rick Chapman deliberately did this saying he wanted to capture the "full human." Acting like Kobe was a narrative for Psychology Today! Pissed me off. Just not suitable for the Smithsonian Portrait Gallery. Those nice pictures of Kobe in his suit would have been fine.
I definitely feel that same way!!
This is so beautiful I celebrate his life every day now since he died not a sad moment to much to learn from him that I did not know when he was alive Thank God for his speeches and books Rest in Power.......
Beautiful ❤️❣️
Woow beautiful 💔💔💔♥️♥️♥️♥️
That portrait of Kobe does not capture his beautiful eyes it doesn't look like him. My favorite picture of Kobe is with his daughter Gianna when he's looking down at her and she's looking up at him. It's such a beautiful picture and it's also so sad.
Everytime I hear the name KOBE, I'm still feeling sad...
Love you Kobe. Vaya con Dios. You're so handsome!
He actually looks sad in this picture.
MAMBA FOREVER🐐🤞🏾
A gorgeous and intelligent man. My favorite player in ANY sport! May he and the others continue to sleep in peace...😢
How can 20 people dislike this video,what’s wrong with you 20?
Kobe’s a Goat
3:07 looks different to me. I can't recognize him.
Yumi tokushige
I'm with you on that!
Something missing from his face!
He's different like blank!
Not kobe!
To me his lips look bigger on this portrait???
Wanda Burgess they changed his face! He kinda looks like the model Tyson Beckford and yeah his lips r fuller. They def manipulated this image. Which is sad. Kobe was handsome as he was
@@NeonHelix20
Wow, you're right!!
He was much younger and looked more like his Dad.
RIL, Kobe n Gigi 🙏♥️💐
I love you Kobe - I'm so sorry, if God asked me that day to switch places with you I would have taken your seat because you had so much to still give society. You will be in my heart forever, what a beautiful Human-Being. We truly lost someone VERY SPECIAL that day, and I'm mad about it. Peace be with you Kobe.
wont ever get over it..
never ever.
they couldnt make his picture bigger? come on
Why did I come here, now I’m back in my feelings 😢😢😢
He is very beautiful. What a gorgeous man. 🖤 He Was almost perfect. Life cheated on him.
Rest in peace Kobe🤔 Bryant and his beautiful daughter Gigi 😭🌹. In the 😭other family that was on board with them 😭
So handsome .
But beside that a good man.
never ever think kobe WILL die early ... i imagine a lot of thinks that one day kobe will be the team owner of the los angeles lakers ... LIFE IS TO SHORT WE NEVER KNOW WHATS GONNA HAPPEN THE NEXT DAY
Sad 😢 my héroe is gone I will always carrying you in my heart
I finished video while back this make me cry I still can't believe this happened
Kobe 4life 🙏🏼
Kobe was my goat. I truly believe he was on path to do greater things which would've been amazing to see. I hope Vanessa at some point will share what Kobe's further dreams were. It hurts but for some reason in my mind I don't think it has been processed yet. I still refuse to believe this is true
abc xyz same it doesn’t seem real yet
For some reason, the picture looks like Tyson Beckford to me.
I would never guess that was Kobe
I SAID THE SAME THING!! dont understand y they would do this to his photo.
I said the pic with him with the suit on is the handsome pic
I love everyone’s comments and I love Kobe but this photo
He looks like he about to fart
What I'm doing studying people and how to do things that will help me be a respectful and careing person to help others love is a gift from God use it makes me smile ☮️❤️💯💯 forever kobe
He iz an ikon, n shud b thrrr, luvyu Kob💯🖤
Like they say...the picture captures exactly the orher side of Kobe...a human being! Is great 😊 look at it!
Hi edagdwg thanks for sharing this history of a young black basketball player with a soul that God totaly let him fly learn all you need to know yourself from the inside out I'm in this world but learning pass
I suggest make the pic of Kobe much bigger pls.he's bigger than life,sports,as a father etc...
Kobe Bryant's parent's created a very HANDSOME successful black men. Without his father guidance and mentoring he would not be who he is today one of the greatest basketball players of all time.2020
I missed you my idol😭😭😭😭
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL, THOUGHT-PROVOKING, HEARTWARMING PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE VERY, VERY HANDSOME MR. KOBE BRYANT🥰😇😇👼👼
He was a beautiful soul. He will forever be missed. May the souls of every faithful departed rest in ✌️ peace. God is calling us
Tomorrow will be a very emotional day
I like the photo to me the photo symbolizes new life they say when u go to heaven u dont look old u tend to look young
Love is smile
God bless kobe. Hope you and gigi found your spots in heaven, please
His life was really meant for Hollywood, but I just didn't expect its ending to be like that 😭😭😭 he was always a hero to me, I bet to all of us, for sure we are all expecting him to just maybe rise from the crash site and say "hey I'm okay, we're okay" but he didn't 😭😭😭 💔💔💔
Should’ve made the picture bigger.
For a second that thumbnail looked like John Legend
Or tyson beckford. Thats not kobe
Kobe>>magic
That didn't even look like him, the mouth was way off.
Hi edagdwg thanks for sharing knowing god for yourself is a gift from God don't let other people no matter who they are or think they are only God can give you that mamba drive my brother lived it and still is carrying it being with his family and friends from the inside out soul never dies float on Linda j soul sister love you hear you ☮️❤️💯🌈
Kob ❤
To us fans, he was already an American icon..now after his unfortunate passing, everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon, if he had never went away, would they have put his photo up then? Remember she said after his death, they unanimously voted to put his photos in the museum, and they placed them so his face would be the first portrait they see..Kobe retired in 2016, shortly after that won an oscar, he was an icon before his death, and they had to vote to see if his portrait would even go up...We real Kobe fans kno whats up and shame on this museum for capitalizing off of his passing..
He looks like like a young billiinaire in a suit..or like a jazz artist (the one with the orange tie)
He looks like his Dad on that picture.
This portrait looks as though Kobe is asking ....why.....?....😏😖😰😒😔😚😣😏😤
The death of Kobe Bryant rocked the world, I believe they have gave him more tributes than Michael Jackson🤔🤔🤔
Yes of course...can't compare KOBE to anyone ....KOBE was a JEWEL..SUPER INTELLIGENT MAN...
.
Cretia Edwards you're right they have
That looks like a picture of Usher, they should’ve gotten a better photo
M B or tyson beckford. Someone else said john legend. They def should have used a better pic. Or at least not photoshopped this one to make him look more like a model or something
The picture is to small it needs to be larger.
I'm sad about his death. It seems like America is becoming a place where we only love 'perfect' people in this country. He had to become a saint after those accusations. No one could keep that up. That's a ridiculous amount of pressure.
Just when I think I'm getting better. Thanks RUclips
This STILL just doesn't seem real!!!!
Still up trying to process it 😭
