I went to the memorial at his high school just a couple of days ago this past Saturday. Getting to walk around a bit on the very court which he played, seeing the large screen print of him on the gym wall tinted in the school colors, the banners that honor his contribution to the years he played, and then looking at the reveal of his high school jersey hanging on the wall. It was a lot to take in, but it was a must to pay my respects for the man in such a way at the Bryant Gymnasium. You will be forever missed, Kobe. #MambaForever
RIP Kobe Bean Bryant, Gigi Bryant and all the other 7 people who lost their lives. Thank you for the great memories Black Mamba 🙏🏻. #Mamba4Life #MambaMentality
He aged really well, it looks just like a 35 year old Kobe walking through a high school. The strange thing about it is that no one knew what he would become. It’s also strange that the people walking down the hallway are acting so normal about him being there.
DAMN brotha, the 🌎 will miss you and your daughter, your words have inspired me to continue toward my entrepreneurial journey. Fell way 👑 you were, and still are a blessing.
You could tell from such a young age how much he wanted to imitate mj, just by the way he spoke. Rip kobe you will always be in my heart and your mamba mentality will always be a part of me.
😢😢😢😢😢😢 no, nooooo, please no. I hurt with all of you, this is just inconceivable, unfathomable. Tearing up every single time. Words cannot express emotions, because emotions are overwhelming and language cannot express the pain. Love from Moscow, Russia
Damn Kobe through out my life growing up to this very day I still use that mamba mentality in life. Gonna miss watching you play, reading your books, and just following you on social media or even watching highlights of you when you played. And most of all gonna miss the new basketball highlights with your little one Gigi. I was really excited and started following womans NCAA basketball and WNBA because of Gigi seen that Kobe in her. RIP KOBE and Gigi and my prayers and condolences go out to Vanessa and your girls.
Kobe was always a superstar in the Philadelphia metro. I went to high-school in his school district during the mid 90's when he attended. He was always featured on the high-school sports show. He attracted a crowd wherever he went, even back then. We played him that year, Norristown High verse Lower Marion. They took the game 75 to 70. Kobe had half his teams points. I watched that game in person. TIMELESS MEMORIES.
He's a class act😘💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛l love him forever thanks Mr and Mrs Bryant for raising a blessed, beautiful, handsome, hardworking and loving young man😘💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛
he carried himself really maturely even as a 17 yr old kid. "lack of communication with my peers", that's some eloquent language lol, The black dude in his class also was spot on with his comment
Jesus christ dude, what do you think, we can't speak? We're not all mumbling street thugs. You white's are always so amazed at a black person who articulates even a modicum of proper english. I mean you're seriously impressed by the statement, "Lack of communication with my peers." Damn..... sigh.
@@foreverraining1522 what kind of 17 year old kid says “lack of communication with my peers”? He didn’t even mention that it was because he was black. You will forever be unsuccessful due to the way you think buddy. Good luck.
I think he spoke from his heart. Memorizing a formal speech is often times boring. To critique him on camera is a poor decision on behalf of the teacher and discriminatory. They tried to break his confidence. Hearing his goals may have been too much for them. Congratulations on setting and accomplishing your goals.
It’s so crazy I was born 1997 the same year kobe was drafted and it’s like i was connected with him through spirit he was part of my childhood teenage years and adult it hurts to lose someone you watched from long ago just gone like that Rest In Peace kobe and Gigi and the other families on bored were gonna miss you we can try to move on because you always say be happy no matter what kobe but I just can’t I can’t move on
RIP my man koby and gigi and others there legacy going to be past on to 999 wrld and be alive for ever in our hearts and there spirit and soul still alive
I'm not sure how 17 year olds carry themselves these days, but I'm about the same age as Kobe was and I can't imagine presenting myself with the amount of confidence as he did at 17. Then again, I wasn't an athletic superstar with the adoration of my entire high school. His personality really paved the way for his success and adoration.
Ok this is just fucking strange bet anything he tried to do it for likes smfh but no just fucking strange honestly this is the person we need to fear no doubt in my mind this guy is on FBI radar
Haha, priceless face when he stated he has a decision to make and said to join the NBA I knew he was trying to contain his excitement you can see it all on his face!! This video is a Gem to see his mannerisms never changed through out the years! RIP to you and GiGi and the fam that was on board the aircraft!
Some people come to this shitty world and inspires people by doing their thing with passion they have done hard things to do and arrived to good places kobe was one of them when I was 9 yo at 2010 my uncle was watching the tv at nights he was so hyped I recognized basketball at those times a mans name speakers was shouting the name was kobe and he was doing crayz things not his team but he was doing very good at that season lakers won the championship aganist celtics I was stunned while watching such good players like paul pierce kg rondo and ray allen kobe was leading the team that it beat celtics which it was best team at that times and when they won the championship at game 7 kobe become my hero at that season then I learned more about kobe he was ambitious and his mentality impressed me and changed me I am not a baller but I feel the hunger of wining every challange that approachs me weird but he was a factor that shaped my character and when I heard bad news about him I didn't even believed it was night I saw a dream he was shining after that night I saw the news in tv and I felt devestated my knees become numb and I cried I cried for a week when I think about him and I didn't take take the truth that he was gone for months still feeling burnings in my lungs when I see or hear about him I lost a bigger brother that I was never met rest in heaven mamba I will always love you
Kobe was THE Philly role model we lost to LA! We lost a legend to an organization that took EXCEPTIONAL care of one of our own. He repaid you with (As tears roll down this Marine's face) five...FIVE NBA Championships!!! He fostered the "Mamba Mentality" and the Laker Nation grew to love him. RIP Kobe and Gianna! Philly, LA and the WORLD lost a role model!
Wow this is awesome! Shows another reason why we luv Kob...authenticity! 🙏🏾Rest up Bean. Much luv my guy!! #GOAT #BeanAndGIGI🕊 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊 #MambaMentality4ever

In this classroom, no one ever expected what impact he had to millions of people after 20 years in the NBA.

its cause hes bald and doesnt have alot of facial hair.
I Somehow Pictured An 28 Year Old Kobe Bryant Walking Through A High School
Well, he was almost an adult here, and his body didn't change much. His voice and mannerisms remained the same.
The atmosphere wasn't all that normal from what I heard from his classmates. Kobe-mania (what they called it) was already a thing at the time.
I hate having facial hair
This dude barely aged bruh!!! RIP KOBE 😭😭😭
Shit not fair man, why Kobe?💔RIP Legend Kobe and Upcoming Legend GiGi and to the others that lost their life’s
Bruh I think about everyday not fair😩
I wish I had footage of my Dad in High School awesome
did anyone ask tho
Yeah same bro it would be lit

insane that this is how a 17 year old speaks and thinks. so wise. born with that mamba mentality.
Just hearing him talk like that at age 17 is crazy , man was wise from the moment he was born
12:06 that cap with autograph, 17 yrs old Kobe. Should value a millions now
I hope he and his parents really reconciled 🙌🏾🙌🏾😔
they didnt. He wasnt talking to his mom before he passed.
Kobe's competitive nature got the best of him. Having the refusal to back down isn't always so beneficial.
That asshol not only cut his parents completely off financially but his 2 sisters too !!! But bought Vanessa's family everything, never told none no
