I’m a born and raised Angeleno. I was 8 when he won the dunk contest, 11-13 during the 3peat, it felt like a piece of my childhood was ripped from my chest. Mamba Forever
I still get emotional hearing people speak on him than I get mad with some of these fake nba media peoples disrespect him to bid up lebron but have the nerve to act emotional like nick wright Shannon sharpe rob parker Jason Whitlock max kellemen Malika Andrew’s
God damn this makes me sad. I was suicidally depressed and the way I got through that period of my life was to study Kobe. He literally saved my life. I've been in tears since I heard the news and I don't care about celebrities or fame. Kobe's mentality and approach to life changed the way I view life and also how I live. RIP Kobe. You are my hero.
But what hurts me more is he was taking his daughter to a game extending the greatness to his child sooooo sad I'm from Pittsburgh but to be clear he's 2nd after Jordan then King James ✌️✌️✌️💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💛💛💛💛💛💛💜💜💜💜💜
It’s undoubtedly a tragedy to lose Kobe but for me it’s a greater tragedy to lose his thirteen year old daughter and the other kid involved. Kobe was still a young man but he had crammed a hundred lives into his forty one years with all his experiences. Gianna was just starting out on her journey and will never get to reach her potential. RIP to all involved.

No lie, when Kobe first hit I didn't like him. But when I read about how hard he worked he changed my mind. And when I saw him shoot his free throws after he tore his achilles it almost broke my heart. But when I saw him coaching his daughter and keeping her from some of the things that he himself did I was proud of him. All of this over 20 years and I never knew him. Plus the guy won an Oscar.
Mass doesn't justify a person before a just and holy God. Only, the shed blood atonement alone on Calvary's Cross through faith alone in trusting in Jesus Christ alone. Religion can't do this
@@FortressofShred So you're absolutely 💯 sure about that uh? In order for your statement to be valid and true. You have to be omniscient: All knowing. Such a original comment too by the way... Like that hasn't been said before.
@@The-GreenHornet why don't you just assume that Kobe had already accepted that we are saved by Jesus's blood and the shed of it for our sins? Otherwise what's the point in going to mass early in the morning? Do that instead of making a smart ass comment like "NO NO NO!!! YOU CANT GO TO HEAVEN JUST BY GOING TO MASS! YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT THE BLOOD OF JESUS AND WHAT HE DIS FOR US GETS US THERE!!☝️....wagging your finger at people just so you can say "I told you so" or "im right your wrong."

But your to in denial and ignorant to ever acknowledge the damage you do.
Prayers to the Bryant family, and the other families of the individuals who lost their lives. This is by far devastating to 👀 #WeLoveUKobeAndGianna #ThePilot #ThePassengers #RestInParadise
I want to thank you Kobe Bryant for being a great impact to me. Just watching you and your intriguing personality you helped me and my family draw closer together. I'm going to miss an amazing angel in you Kobe and your daughter Gianna . May you , your daughter and the other individuals R.I.P.
@ Ms☆DeAnna Everhart thank you for acknowledging and just speaking from the heart ♡. I believe all individuals are all equal and there are still intriguing and intelligent men and women out in this word today. Life is a choice it's how we collect advice. Bless you always.
I never met the man but i understand being a father of 4 ao what he and his daughter went through having to watch knowing you can't save her is probably the only rime he felt defeated what a tragedy all of those lives lost it just so sad whether you know them or not
The sad part is I don't think they even knew they were going down, there's a video of the pilots radio recording right before they crashed, maybe minutes possibly seconds before. The helicopter was descending and the pilot was not paying attention to his altitude, the clouds and fog made him not realize his altitude. It wasn't a crash where they spun out of control, the pilot literally didn't realize they were so low and they hit a mountain/ hill that was 1000+ ft high... They smacked into it because of the pilots negligence, also he wasnt suppose to be flying in those conditions. Chances are though, they didn't see it coming, and if they did, it was for a short period of time, it's possible they were blindsided by the crash. Kobe had no sut in his lungs. They all died basically instantly, Kobe's body was mangled sadly.
I swear emotionally i felt like i wanted to die when I woke up that morning and saw the news on my phone. Felt like I lost my brother we are the same age.
John Lennon didn't deserve to be murdered but I never liked him telling the world to stop being so selfish and to help others when he lived like the 0.01%.
This is one reason I can't stand the arrogance of the "Where do you see yourself in 5 years question?" who the fuck knows what the next moment holds. Death doesn't give a shit about anyone's pretentious 5 -year plan. If you're lucky you accomplish things. We say Kobe's life was cut short which is true but most of us would be lucky to say we've accomplished half the things he accomplished in what seems like a short life.
He was suppose to enjoy the fruits of his labor, he was suppose to continue to excel in a different endeavor, he was suppose to further guide gigi in his ways of the ball. He has so much left to do. Its still frustrating even to this day.
God Bless You Kobi Bryant & Your Daughter GiGi Bryant, Vanessa The Other Girls, Jelly Bean & Pamela Bryant, All their Family Members. All The Laker's Family, Everyone Everywhere, All The Sports People, My Oldest Son Who Met Kobi Twice & Kobi Treated by Oldest Son Aaron Like A Little Brother. My Heart is moved for Young Kobi Bryant & Gigi & All The Other People On The Helicopter & Their Family Members & Loved Ones. We miss You Kobi, Gigi & All Those On That Helicopter. GOD BLESS YOU KOBI & GIGI, WE LOVE YOU FOREVER, FOREVER, FOREVER!!!
What would you think if you were on his shoes at that very moment your daughter is in serious trouble...the helicopter is nearly to crashed... Between life and death,And even if you were an able muscled man ...You cannot help your self but lie on seeing her face her destiny...It was so cruel to think so,there is no need for such help but tragedy,This is very frustrating to such Father can be,He will see her daughter fate in such so much in pain...My heart felt in grief so much pain...For i am a Father of 2 kids and it ooze me a lot.
My sincere love in condolences to kobe and gi gi for all the innocent lives lost in this tragedy praying to The Most High God to watch over all these families involved! We gotta wake ☝ this is a Message from God get right worship him repent in Live thus said the Lord fir his mercy Endures Forever! Forgive and be forgiven💘💞💖
RIP TO KOBE THE BEST EVER. And yes Kobe is better than Lebron... Lebron had to jump around to other teams who have all stars to win championships... meanwhile Kobe stayed at the same spot and BUILT teams and led them to championships..
I'm now starting to believe that Kobe Bryant was murdered! The pilot of Kobe Bryant was flight instrument certified. This means that he was certified to successfully fly during fog. The helicopter did not start going erratic until after they passed over the zoo. The question I asked myself was, "Did the helicopter pilot get directed to choose a helicopter that was pre-rigged to crash and burn?" Why did the LAPD ground all their helicopter flights when they also had instrument certified pilots who were certified to successfully fly in the fog? As though the LAPD only wanted Kobe's helicopter to be in the air at that time. Did someone in the zoo area have a remote control device that triggered on a built in destructive device or mechanism that caused a major malfunction to occur within the helicopter engine? Nike pulled all of Kobe Bryants products offline after his death! As though they had a hand in his death. And, they are completely washing their hands clean of him for good! A real company would sell more of your products so the grieving family can receive the additional income that is desperately needed! I will start my research!
Lebron surpassed Kobe to be 3rd all time scoring. Next day, Kobe died. This may sound strange, Kobe supposed to died last month, but he wanted to see Lebron to pass his record. Now, Kobe is set free & said goodbye to the WORLD
They are not overlooking the others that died. Have you considered that this is ESPN which covers sports and that’s why they are talking about Kobe?? Because he played SPORTS...he’s a SPORTS legend🙄🙄 Stop looking for something negative to say and pray for all involved
@@demitrajacobs8379 people need to stop putting over paid athletes on a super high pedestal everyone dies. Just because he plays sports doesnt mean he is better then other people. Have you watched any channel on tv? They keep showing his picture for mourning but none of the others? Explain that.
@@nicktheshotgunm it's a sport show you dumb fuck when they talk about the death of Kobe it's just common sense to know that 9 people died. I get so sick of people like you trying to create drama because your life is so sad grow up be the best you can be. And go fuck yourself
Jonas Hopson yup they also matter but they are paying respect for a Legend. As a father I was devastated also knowing there are young kids died on that tragic. Yes we cannot forget about the others but please, let Kobe Bryant get what he deserves. It’s for his fans also who had been touched by his Legacy and I’m one of them.

"What does it say about the social culture of America that we can't even give a "Thumbs up," for condolences to a deceased sports legend?"
He attended mass at 7 that morning so he was prepared to go to heaven.
Mass doesn't justify a person before a just and holy God.
Only, the shed blood atonement alone on Calvary's Cross through faith alone in trusting in Jesus Christ alone.

spare 2 seats for kobe and gigi during the lakers vs clippers!
