Jimmy actually named everyone that died on the helicopter crash and for that I respect him even more now. May they Rest In Peace and May God bless their families with all the strength they need, amen!
His youngest daughter was named after him.. Koko wont be seeing her father as she grows up, but watching these kind of interviews, she will meet her father and know him more.
Crazy the daughter he won't get to see grow up they named after him "Kobe aka Koko"...i bet you she'd grow up to inherit his and what couldve been her sister Gigi's legacy on or off the court. RIP MAMBA and MAMBACITA
R.I.P To kobe and gigi... Kobe was obviously the best legend and basketball influence anyone could ever have and sadly giannas legacy couldnt be fulfilled. My prayers go to his family. Im heartbroken...😞❤😞❤❤❤
@Mercedes Moonlight that doesnt mean we cant mourn them. If you're mom died, you would just scoff it and say, "well shes dead, who cares?" Yeah, didn't think so.
P K Bro rapist??? Dude cmon that’s disrespectful.. wheres the proof at bro? If its coming from some random womans mouth lookin for money then idc bc where was this bs at when he was alive
Kobe also just got to know his youngest daughter for one year. just imagine how hard its going to be for her mom to explain this accident to her when she grows up. It makes me cry when I think about this.
Absolute respect to Jimmy for naming the other people in the crash. They're mostly forgotten when they shouldn't be. You can also tell Jimmy really liked and respected Kobe by the way he talks about him. Massive respect
I’ll be honest: I didn’t know too much about Kobe before, but know, after this dark turn, I’ve discovered an amazing, caring person, and just a few days too late. Rip to the Mamba
I feel the same.. I just started seeing the vids of him and his daughter circulating and I went from, "Aw how nice he's involved with his daughter...." to "Wow he's actually done/doing a lot 😳....I should pay more attention to him!!".... I finally understand the hype....this man is truly a legend.
When I read "just a few days late", I started to tear up for some reason 😭 I don't know him as well, also. But, as soon as I hear what had happened and all, I felt bad, and I wish that I knew him before he passed away.
MHAN14631 MHAN RUclips puts their own ads on all videos but the creator also has the option to place them in and that’s how they’d be paid but since there’s no yellow spots in the bottom of the screen there’s no ads by the creator
Kimmel is the first person I have heard actually mention everyone's names that were involved in the crash. RESPECT!! My heart goes out to all of them RIP!!
A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is statistics. No disrespect to Kobe and the family but almost A BILLION animals affected in australia and thousands and thousands of homes and people died. Similar thing happened in Brazil. Just a few weeks ago, A Ukrainian plane crashed in Iraq AND ANOTHER 170 PEOPLE DIED and even yesterday a plane crashed in the ISIS AREA in the middle east. Hundreds die everyday in syria and yemen and now hundreds are dying due to corona virus. I DONT HAVE MORE WORDS.
Joe Alvarado Yea. Its alot of people. Lot of life that was lost. Just tragic and sad for everyone. Makes everyone think about our own mortality. Peace Joe
The crowd.. they chanted every single time he hit the stage. MVP! MVP! MVP!!! We were so lucky to have had him.. we miss you kobe the world went crazy without you.
At the very least, we Los Angeles citizens know that he knew we loved him. What so often happens with death is that people feel guilty that someone wasn't appreciated while they were alive. Kobe is a hero in LA and he had to have known that because we were loud, stupid and obnoxious about it.
The saddest thing is that we had Kobe to ourselves for 20 years. It was his family's turn to have their dad back and for Kobe to enjoy the fruits of his labor. Then it ends just like that. Just sad. MAMBA FOREVER!
It's true. Very sad to think this happened when he was at his happiest. He loved life a thousand times more after retirement. Being with his daughters and family. Traveling. Etc. I also think.. What if he never retired? This would have never happened. Because he would have not been on that helicopter at that exact moment. Sad.
Kimmel always gets hate, but in this video there is no audience, the show is just about Kobe, and there's no ads. You can see Kimmel truly wanted to honor Kobe and feels the pain.
Whenever each of us talk about Kobe, we all talk about him like he literally was a very close family member to us, because that’s exactly what he became to us all!! A brother!!
I love how you acknowledge the 7 other victim's as "friends." Everyone else has been saying Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gigi and the seven others. They were someone's love ones.... they were FRIENDS! Thank you Jimmy.... RIP Kobe and Gigi!
I had the same feeling. most of media mention the other victims like they are background actors and not the part of the main story. Kimmel was very sensitive and human and put them right at the center calling them friends.
Same, he's one of the only players I know of like I never watch basketball. But this has weighed so heavy on my mind since it happened. Such a tragic thing to happen
kobe... i was a kid, 9 years old, when i first started watching you, when you beat Blazers and Pacers in 2000, and i was a big follower since.. u didnt disappoint kobe... thank you kobe
@@nelis170792 honestly same. Also Robin Williams hurt as well. Watched all his movies and didnt realize that he had severe depression. Goes to show all the fame doesn't give you true happiness.
Maybe they are thumbs down because it is horrifying painful news and to give such painful truth a "thumbs up" seems disrespectful. At least that is my hope. We see the limitations of our like/dislike, subscribe/cancel setups at times like these.
Any of you brainlets ever think they disliked it because they disliked hearing it? Disliked the notion someone they admired died? Maybe they disliked the fact they keep hearing about it and can't get over it because they genuinely cared about what Kobe did? There is a litany of reasons I can list, and the majority would make sense on an emotional level.
ashleighnycole yeah but jimmy kibble is a human like you and me so I don’t get why it’s so special, people don’t know that everything in life is temporary
Omer Farooq because he was an icon. I remember watching a Kobe he’s an inspiration. People know him more than my grandfather who passed away a year ago. I of course care about my grandfather more than Kobe but i still care and its terrible what happened to him and his daughter. People are joining together to mourn...
When Jimmy said that he belonged to us, he was absolutely correct. This is the only time I have felt like I lost a family member when a celebrity passed. I am finally able to watch these tribute videos and not fall into depression. I still cry when I watch them but now I watch because I miss him. RIP KB
He truly belonged to the people. I've had family pass and it didn't hit like this. Here in September 2021 and I still watch these videos to always keep memory alive. He did so much for so many by simply doing him. I wouldn't be a leader today if I didn't watch him growing up. Rest over that court king.
100% he was and will always be ours. EVERYONE here in socal lost our honorary uncle/friend/hero/cousin/ star. Stayed till the end. woke up a few hrs ago and for some reason just felt like watching a bunch of these videos of him. Remembering you today KŌB!!
I feel the same way bro, I'm a huge Lakers fan, in San Antonio Texas, and it's not easy being a Lakers fan here, especially when Kobe and the Lakers had rivalries with tim Duncan and the spurs. I went to watch them play the spurs every season, Kobe saved the day many times against them. I miss that guy, I wanted to see how successful he was going to be as a coach. He was a great father, and became a great husband.
I love that Jimmy disabled ads on this even knowing it would be one of his most viral & profitable videos ever. Such a well done tribute, atta boy Jimmy. RIP Kobe
I still can’t grasp the idea that Kobe is really gone. Kobe got me through the tough times man. He was a true role model and leader who was absolutely dedicated to his craft. Everybody should be just like Kobe as he was someone truly amazing on and off the court. Absolutely devastated.
In a very odd way it quite amazing that he died with his daughter by his side at that time but i also feel super bad for his other children being at this situation and it shivers me thinking what was going through gianna and and other of their friends knowing that they might die at any moment now..
It’s even worse because his *13* year old daughter died along side him. Now his wife and his daughter have to live with that hole in their heart. R.I.P Kobe, R.I.P GIGI
The universe always takes the best of us, but not before they did what they were put here to do. Without Kobe my brother wouldn't still hold the county record for the 40.
& to think she was gonna change it.. and he said no no you can’t take that away from me .. when he wasn’t sure about it at the start.. that little girl 🙏🏼
@Checkmate Chess Channel those were (most likely) false accusations. Don't accuse someone before he or she is found guilty, it can really mess up someone's life...
Checkmate Chess Channel He was not a disgusting creep. The girl never said “no” she was even proven to have the ability to say “no” she was kissing him and touching his private area on her own. There was no force! He was not a rapist!
Kobe was much more than just a Basketball player and a celebrity. He was a devoted family man, father, husband, brother, ambassador, Auther and so much more. Still hits hard 4 years later.
This is why I like Jimmy Kimmel in these unfortunate incidents. He's human. He's understandable. He's emotional. He accounted the other ppl as friends, not nameless ppl. He realizes lives are changed forever 💔
“I'll do whatever it takes to win games, whether it's sitting on a bench waving a towel, handing a cup of water to a teammate, or hitting the game-winning shot.” -Kobe Bryant 💜💛💜💛 RIP Mamba, Mambacita and 7 friends
Kobe is really a hero... He touch lives He make people smile He reach out to people He spread positivity He spread hope He makes us stand on our seat for a buzzer shot He’s down to earth He’s a great person He’s an example of a great human being He is missed.... He will be in the history.....
he just got to know his youngest daughter for one year. just imagine how hard its going to be for her mom to explain this accident to her when she grows up. It makes me cry when I think about this.
@@faithtvonline Unfortunately I can confirm you're right on that mark. I knew someone who lost their father at 5 and it deeply affected them, that same person was killed while their daughter was 1 and she doesn't really have memory of him to mourn him.
yes and being so small (capri and bianka) they will not remember much the beautiful and few moments they had with their father and sister, luckily there are photos and videos but nothing like the true essence
Same here. Watched MJ and Kobe a lot. Even when they were battling each other, I did not feel any animosity towards Kobe for trying to beat/emulate MJ. When younger guys was trying to go at Kobe... I find them lacking in a certain mindset. You can just see with their body mannerisms and facial expressions. Conclusion that MJ and Kobe are peas in a pod.
Me, too! I laughed out loud to hear his special sense of humor and athletic prodding. It hit me hard after listening to this. Truly this man will be greatly missed.
I still remember hearing the news even a year later. My friend called me and simply said “Kobe died”. Knowing no other Kobe, I said “Kobe who?”. It did not seem like a possibility that such a hero and significant figure in my life growing up could even die. Miss you Mamba.
I know, a life is just as important as another. Of course people would mourn him and his daughter more, being known more, but 7 other people died that day, and they should be recognized and mourned as well.
People are saying “people die everyday” that’s true but Kobe actually had an influence on us compared to other people and that’s why everyone cares so much.
Kobe is a celebrity and you can still have people that influence you even if they don’t have fame. I understand why everyone appreciates Kobe because he’s inspiring through hardwork, etc.
His voice cracking... that really hit me. RIP Kobe and Giana His death was one of the Few celebrity deaths that really got to me like Muhammad Ali and recently Chadwick Boseman
Kimmel is such a classy man when it comes to these situations. It honestly is the one thing that really makes me appreciate him as a host. He could easily just do a lil monologue and go back to his show to keep ratings in mind but he chooses to do the right thing, this isn’t the first time he’s done these sort of moves, I doubt you’ll see this, Kimmel; but I just wanted to say thank you.
Rest In Peace 🕊 Kobe Bryant Gianna "Gigi" Bryant Alyssa Altobelli John Altobelli Keri Altobelli Christina Mauser Payton Chester Sarah Chester Ara Zobayan
Except the pilot, if it was truly his fault, cause there are reports saying he was not supposed to be flying in those conditions. No hate, just stating what I read.
Prayers out to Vanessa and her children, I'm struggling over Kobe and Gianna's passing to the point where I feel there's something wrong with me. It's day 3, and I still can't get my stomach right... I can't imagine what Vanessa and her children are going through right now. Going to take time.. God bless them, and watch over them.
Me too and I wasn’t even a big basketball fan but he seemed so Genuine and so nice and his daughter Gigi had a future ahead of her like on Sunday when the news got out I was so distraught 😭
This was very well done and respectful. He acknowledged the fact, that he wasn't perfect. NO one is, he spoke of the other victims of this tragedy as well. 2 years later, it's still hard to believe.
I've watched a lot of these tributes, and one thing I'm certain of is that Kobe spent his final decade trying to be as good as possible to as many people as possible. This, for me, is far more impressive than his superhuman work ethic or domination of others through sport.
@@keithdior1657 It is... I'm not so sure he always treated others so well in his younger days. He often talked about his intense isolation in his first decade in the NBA. He never quite admitted this, but I think there was a lot of anger with that. He spent his last decade making sure that a lot of younger athletes weren't alone. I don't think that's a coincidence.
Rest in peace: Kobe Bryant Gianna "Gigi" Bryant Alyssa Altobelli John Altobelli Keri Altobelli Christina Mauser Payton Chester Sarah Chester Ara Zobayan
Not a day has passed without thinking about him, been seeing posts on IG, FB and YT every day about him, been wearing his different jerseys everyweek and also seeing others in public doing the same. And will always play NBA 2K with him, He really was a hero. He did just right the exact quote at the end of the video. Im on a different field but still inspired by him, and I do really hope to be an inspiration on my own when it all said and been done in the art industry. Love you man thanks for being a part of this generation and helping us build and grow our better selves
John O’Rourke amen! I really loved that as well... As a matter of fact, that part will probably be my answer to the inevitable one or 2 people who choose to bring up negative things that are best left to discuss another time... I think it is ok and appropriate for the good things to be highlighted in the wake of such a tragedy, while still acknowledging that they weren’t perfect.
He was a great basketball player, but great men dont rape women. He may have learned and grown since then, but plenty of ACTUAL great men make it their entire lives without needing to learn the obvious.
i’ve never had more respect for Kimmel. no other person cancelled their show. he cancelled his whole show to remember a life that was lost. he is such a good soul 💖
@@hades773 I have, and some were very close to me, including my grandmother who I lived with for years and visited every summer before we lived with her. i was referring to his death as a celebrity. he was one of my heroes, an icon for people across the globe, and an amazing example for kids to look up to.
@@walitoor4328 be the example. I don’t think I know anyone outside of the circle of family and friends who I know that I would ever shed a tear for. Sympathy? Yes, we can all relate. But no celebrity will ever make me sad. But I’ll relate and reach out to those who are hurting.
@@hades773 be the example? i dont understand. i grew up idolizing kobe and wanting to be just like him. reading everything I could, watching games, practicing, and saying "Kobe!" everytime I took a tough or seemingly impossible shot, simply because Kobe did the impossible. I shed a tear because for me, and many others around the world, Kobe wasn't just some celebrity we looked up to, but he was a big part of our lives...just like family. And even though he probably didn't even know I existed, his legacy impacted me in a way that changed my life, and I will forever be grateful. point is, for me kobe was not just a celebrity, but a significant part of my life, and when he died, I did shed a tear because of the impact he had on me. the fact that both he and his daughter died, and his wife and kids lost a father and their sister....how can you not shed a tear? this isn't some movie...this is real life. When you try to feel sympathy for someone going through hardship, try to go a bit deeper and you may find yourself shedding a tear someday for someone outside your family as well. :/
Its harder because she was a innocent child, who didn't get a chance at a full life. Knowing she died with her daddy who she just wanted to make proud makes it hurt so much more. It really sucks beyond belief.
I felt the need to watch all things Kobe today....still devastated. Rest peacefully Kobe, Gianna & everyone that passed in the crash on 1/26/2020. A day forever etched in my soul. 💜💛🖤
Your comment brings tears to my eyes. I died for four hours after been unconscious in the pool bottom for two minutes. The neighbors rescued me. Yes, thank our Maker, I am glad to be alive.
I'm not even a big basketball fan nor a huge Lakers fan. But no one can deny the impact Kobe had on people, including me. Kobe was a huge role model for many and a wonderful human being. The world has lost a true legend.
Treyvon Mays Everyone else says Kobe is dead Bla Bla Bla, others are saying he died with others but I think it’s good to address the so called ‘others’ well
Rest in Peace Kobe Bryant, Gianna Bryant (13), John Altobelli, Keri Altobelli, Alyssa Altobelli (13), Sarah Chester, Payton Chester (13), Christina Mauser, Ara Zobayan Prayers to all the families
here just a few months before the 5 year anniversary .. was never a huge basketball fan but i remember finding out about this and being overcome by sadness. i thought about how in his final moments he made one last act of being a phenomenal father and comforted his daughter, while probably knowing the outcome. gone but truly never forgotten. ❤
I just can’t believe Kobe is gone😔 Jimmy’s right, this is the last person you’d expect to go. He had so much left to give, I just hope Kobe’s family gets through this.
What about the baseball coach that died, along with his wife and youngest daugther. They had 2 more children thats alive, what's worse? No offense to Kobe but one family this has 1 parent and 1 has none.
@jeebs621 I don’t know why god took him and his daughter away from us at this time and I feel speechless in many ways because it doesn’t make senses why this would happen to kobe RIP 😭
to the social media manager: Thanks a lot for not splitting this show up to serveral YT vids just to make money! This show was heartbreaking....great you mentioned the others as victims as well!
I’m going to tell myself that every single person that disliked this only did so because they dislike the fact he died & not because they’re heartless.
Some people don’t like him because of the sexual assault allegations against him in the early 2000s and his admitted infidelity to his wife. I’m not saying I believe the sexual assault thing but yeah. That might be why
Marquita Tiffin Actually, it’s a proven statistical fact that ~1% of viewers tend to miss click. No one can do much about it, which is why the most liked video doesn’t even have 0 dislikes
Genuinely nice people can light up an entire room with just a smile. Almost a year now, and the memory of that awful day is still so fresh. Lost my hubby 11 years ago, the pain is still here, just bearable. I feel for his wife & kids. God bless them with grace & strength.
imagine having a dad that's a legend but not getting the chance to get to know him. i feel so sad for his daughters, specially for the youngest one. edit: idk why some of the responses make something negative out of my comment. this is my opinion and what i feel. 1. i am sad for the other people and families affected by this as well. they weren't mentioned in my comment bc i just wrote what was on my mind at the time to get it off my chest. 2. idk their names, nor do i know them. should i research first before commenting my OWN thoughts? but despite of that, it doesn't mean that i'm not sad for the ppl that are affected by the accident as well. 3. i feel saddest for the youngest bc she's gonna grow up without a dad. imagine having the whole world knowing your dad but not you. 4. can we just not make something negative out of nothing. stop nitpicking and being so butthurt. just grieve in peace away from other people's opinion if your going to criticize for literally no gain.
What about the coach of kobes daughters team she died now the husband is left with 3young children. Why arent you all grieving for him also as well as the other families. Its always only the famous you praise...shame
buster Brooks We don’t know who those people were or even their names. I’m not even into basketball but i know Kobe Bryant. He was a household name that MANY people looked up to. The others who are not famous are being grieved by their loved ones and friends.
@@leo.m.brooks2848 Because we are familiar with Kobe Bryant. People all over the world know who he is. Obviously it's an all around sad situation. Please don't tell us how to grief and turn it into something shameful.
I noticed when Kobe was interviewed by himself he was kind of shy and quiet but when Kimmel interviewed him with his teammates he was stern and almost leader-like. You can tell why he inspired he’s teammates so much.
Donald J. Trump You hate yourself so much that you have to use another disgusting human being as an Avatar? LMAO Staring at the mirror must be a chore 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
It says something about how immensely likable and charismatic Kobe was that he, an athlete - made 15 appearances on a talk show. That's just not common.
I was huge fan of Kobe. Still cant believe He left this world so early. He will never be forgetten. I hope that He is playing basketball on the other side of this Universe.
the reason i disliked, is cuz it seems like jimmy kimmel among other news stations like tmz ETC. ETC. ETC. are all just trying to capitalize on his death and make money from it.
@@ferretdash Should they ignore his death instead? Whenever ANYONE of status passes everyone pays tribute in their own way. The dislike is yours to leave, but try to see all the coverage from the perspective of how these people who loved and admired him feel - "Kobe deserves to be celebrated for his talent and all he gave to the world". Just my two pennies.
That's the first thing I said to myself. How the hell almost 6 thousand people dislike a video trying to pay respect to Kobe? Sucks when someone dies you still have haters instead of human beings with empathy for lives lost.
Ngl I’m not a Kobe fan or never really watched him but this makes my stomach hurt just thinking how unfair life can be Rest in paradise everyone who died in the helicopter
When Kobe was talking about his oldest daughters driving being so good and jimmy said the next one (GiGi) is gonna be a maniac I couldn’t hold back the tears... 😭
Agathe Conruyt becuase his next daughter who they were talking about being a maniac when she grows up and learns to drive etc was the one who died in the accident with him and she was only 13
30 years later "Yells Kobe when i threw something in the trash" Son: what does that mean? Me: Sit down son, let me tell you a story of greatness. Edit: I commented this to show love and support for Kobe. And I still have haters saying I stole this from someone. I want everyone to copy and paste this to KEEP IT GOING.
The more I watch these clips of Kobe, the more I realized I got him all wrong. I thought he was pompous, arrogant, and proud. The reality is, he was confident, humble, and, best of all, he NEVER said anything negative about anyone during these interviews. He always took the opportunity to say something positive or give praise. How much we can learn from that simple action that he was doing consistently.
A lot are saying this, I think people thought how he was playing basketball was how he was in real life. Plus you see how many athletes act and you assume it's the same for all.
I agree 100%. Now I never thought of him negatively, at the same time I never thought of him positively. I just never really cared. But after watching all these athletes and celebrities talk about his death or talk about him or I watch an interview he has done in the past however long. I find out that he's an amazing person and I feel horrible for his family right now. As well as everybody else is on that helicopter. Rest in peace black mamba
As a kid of a single mother who knew nothing about sports, I learned how to play basketball from watching Kobe on ABC on Sundays back in 1999/2000. Watch the game, then go try to emulate him. In a lot of ways Kobe filled that father figure role in my life. He didn’t know it, but at 30 years old now, I owe a lot of who I am today to him.
This is incredibly respectful. Not knocking any of the other talk show hosts but most went on like usual while inserting a little segment about Kobe. Jimmy dismissed his entire studio audience because it’s not the time to go on as usual.
I'm German and only knew Kobe from seeing him in one early episode of "Modern Family". I was never a big sports fan, but after that episode I saw him on TV like in the news or somewhere, and whenever he appeared on the screen, I got happy. I don't know why, but this man had a talent of making people smile by just existing, just showing up. Just by seeing him. When the news broke of his passing, I hoped so much that it was untrue. I was in shock to find out that it was true and it didn't only take him, but other innocent people, including his daughter. I still smile when I see him. He was such a great guy. He is missed. And will forever be missed, loved and remembered. He's taking care of his big girl up there ❤
Nice to see Jimmy acknowledging both aspects of his personality and also extending condolences to all the victims of the crash. He acknowledged Kobe’s professional accomplishments, his personality and yet brought up the fact that he was a flawed human being.

Less than a year... six months😢
Absolute respect to Jimmy for naming the other people in the crash. They're mostly forgotten when they shouldn't be. You can also tell Jimmy really liked and respected Kobe by the way he talks about him. Massive respect
I’ll be honest: I didn’t know too much about Kobe before, but know, after this dark turn, I’ve discovered an amazing, caring person, and just a few days too late. Rip to the Mamba
I feel the same.. I just started seeing the vids of him and his daughter circulating and I went from, "Aw how nice he's involved with his daughter...." to "Wow he's actually done/doing a lot 😳....I should pay more attention to him!!".... I finally understand the hype....this man is truly a legend.
Same here. Didn’t know him before his death now I do and I miss him like everyone else. Rest In Peace ❤️😭 he will never be forgotten in this world.
Sorry for your loss, i hope you and you family pull through this terrible tragedy.. lol

Joe Alvarado Yea let’s not only mourn for Kobe and her Daughter but the seven other people
was looking for this comment before i said the same
A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is statistics.
No disrespect to Kobe and the family but almost A BILLION animals affected in australia and thousands and thousands of homes and people died. Similar thing happened in Brazil. Just a few weeks ago, A Ukrainian plane crashed in Iraq AND ANOTHER 170 PEOPLE DIED and even yesterday a plane crashed in the ISIS AREA in the middle east. Hundreds die everyday in syria and yemen and now hundreds are dying due to corona virus. I DONT HAVE MORE WORDS.
@@anshtokas True.
Joe Alvarado Yea. Its alot of people. Lot of life that was lost. Just tragic and sad for everyone. Makes everyone think about our own mortality. Peace Joe
The crowd.. they chanted every single time he hit the stage. MVP! MVP! MVP!!! We were so lucky to have had him.. we miss you kobe the world went crazy without you.
At the very least, we Los Angeles citizens know that he knew we loved him. What so often happens with death is that people feel guilty that someone wasn't appreciated while they were alive. Kobe is a hero in LA and he had to have known that because we were loud, stupid and obnoxious about it.
Yes your exactly right
too late
The saddest thing is that we had Kobe to ourselves for 20 years. It was his family's turn to have their dad back and for Kobe to enjoy the fruits of his labor. Then it ends just like that. Just sad. MAMBA FOREVER!
Copied this comment from another video but just had to as it hit me deep.
Very heartbreaking thinking from that perspective 💔
This just broke me.... damn.
I never even thought of that. So heartbreaking 💔
It's true. Very sad to think this happened when he was at his happiest. He loved life a thousand times more after retirement. Being with his daughters and family. Traveling. Etc. I also think.. What if he never retired? This would have never happened. Because he would have not been on that helicopter at that exact moment. Sad.
Kimmel always gets hate, but in this video there is no audience, the show is just about Kobe, and there's no ads. You can see Kimmel truly wanted to honor Kobe and feels the pain.
Oxi Clean exactly!
@@zal2448 I'm sorry dude but I also got no ads lol

It’s so special that his youngest daughter is named after him knowing she won’t remember him. She will always have that connection with him.
Yea you never forget 😔💯
Her name is actually Capri unfortunately
Anonymous Wombat exactly.. “Ko-be” - > “Ca-pri” .. you get what Vanessa did there?
Anonymous Wombat it’s Capri Kobe “Koko” Bryant
@@anonymouswombat9709 her name is Capri Kobe Bryant.
Whenever each of us talk about Kobe, we all talk about him like he literally was a very close family member to us, because that’s exactly what he became to us all!! A brother!!
I can't even imagine how bad Vanessa is hurting right now. His daughters, and the friend's families. I cant even imagine.
😭😭😭😭
I keep saying to myself the same thing.. God have mercy..😔
They posted her reaction actually when she first heard about it, she was literally screaming it was awful
@@just_ayetii no they didnt
yeti where u can see that
I love how you acknowledge the 7 other victim's as "friends." Everyone else has been saying Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gigi and the seven others. They were someone's love ones.... they were FRIENDS! Thank you Jimmy.... RIP Kobe and Gigi!
I had the same feeling. most of media mention the other victims like they are background actors and not the part of the main story. Kimmel was very sensitive and human and put them right at the center calling them friends.
Inexorable Videos yeah good point

hey
Same, he's one of the only players I know of like I never watch basketball. But this has weighed so heavy on my mind since it happened. Such a tragic thing to happen
Same here.
I agree it's very sad because of how great of a person he was.
We miss you Kobe. Almost 3 years later and I still think about you every day.
“The thing about kids, is that you don’t want to disappoint them.”
You didn’t disappoint, Kobe, you didn’t disappoint.

He disappointed his children by dying
31mins in and I decide to scroll down to read some comments and read this just as Kobe was saying it in the video lol rip Mamba 🙏🏾
kobe... i was a kid, 9 years old, when i first started watching you, when you beat Blazers and Pacers in 2000, and i was a big follower since.. u didnt disappoint kobe... thank you kobe

I don’t understand how people can dislike a tribute to someone who passed away, it’s heart breaking to me
Agreed. I would just ignore it though, there are tons of hateful individuals who just dislike every video they watch
Huncho Jack you wonder why they watch it when they don’t like it.
Maybe they are thumbs down because it is horrifying painful news and to give such painful truth a "thumbs up" seems disrespectful. At least that is my hope. We see the limitations of our like/dislike, subscribe/cancel setups at times like these.
Any of you brainlets ever think they disliked it because they disliked hearing it? Disliked the notion someone they admired died? Maybe they disliked the fact they keep hearing about it and can't get over it because they genuinely cared about what Kobe did? There is a litany of reasons I can list, and the majority would make sense on an emotional level.
Believe me. There are always people who will dislike and talk negative. Don't feed their ego.
Jimmy really just dedicated an entire show to Kobe. This shows just how far his reach really was. Rest easy Mamba.
ashleighnycole yeah but jimmy kibble is a human like you and me so I don’t get why it’s so special, people don’t know that everything in life is temporary
Omer Farooq because he was an icon. I remember watching a Kobe he’s an inspiration. People know him more than my grandfather who passed away a year ago. I of course care about my grandfather more than Kobe but i still care and its terrible what happened to him and his daughter. People are joining together to mourn...
When Jimmy said that he belonged to us, he was absolutely correct. This is the only time I have felt like I lost a family member when a celebrity passed. I am finally able to watch these tribute videos and not fall into depression. I still cry when I watch them but now I watch because I miss him. RIP KB
He truly belonged to the people. I've had family pass and it didn't hit like this. Here in September 2021 and I still watch these videos to always keep memory alive. He did so much for so many by simply doing him. I wouldn't be a leader today if I didn't watch him growing up. Rest over that court king.
Amen brother….. time has passed but the hurt is still very much there…..!!
100%
he was and will always be ours. EVERYONE here in socal lost our honorary uncle/friend/hero/cousin/ star. Stayed till the end. woke up a few hrs ago and for some reason just felt like watching a bunch of these videos of him. Remembering you today KŌB!!
I feel the same way bro, I'm a huge Lakers fan, in San Antonio Texas, and it's not easy being a Lakers fan here, especially when Kobe and the Lakers had rivalries with tim Duncan and the spurs. I went to watch them play the spurs every season, Kobe saved the day many times against them. I miss that guy, I wanted to see how successful he was going to be as a coach. He was a great father, and became a great husband.
You know a man is a legend when you don't pay attention to his career and achievement but still mourn his death.

I still can’t grasp the idea that Kobe is really gone. Kobe got me through the tough times man. He was a true role model and leader who was absolutely dedicated to his craft. Everybody should be just like Kobe as he was someone truly amazing on and off the court. Absolutely devastated.

You can see Kobe's face change whenever his daughters are brought up. He just lights up and can't get the smile off it. Such a sad tragedy :(
In a very odd way it quite amazing that he died with his daughter by his side at that time but i also feel super bad for his other children being at this situation and it shivers me thinking what was going through gianna and and other of their friends knowing that they might die at any moment now..

It’s even worse because his *13* year old daughter died along side him. Now his wife and his daughter have to live with that hole in their heart. R.I.P Kobe, R.I.P GIGI

He’s an example of a great human being

he just got to know his youngest daughter for one year. just imagine how hard its going to be for her mom to explain this accident to her when she grows up. It makes me cry when I think about this.
I think it will be harder to explain it to the three and seven year old.
@@faithtvonline
Unfortunately I can confirm you're right on that mark. I knew someone who lost their father at 5 and it deeply affected them, that same person was killed while their daughter was 1 and she doesn't really have memory of him to mourn him.
I hope one of the little girls decide to be like Gianna and their dad and play basketball.
@@beattheodds6219 I'm scared they'll have resentment towards the game. I hope they live our their dads dream
yes and being so small (capri and bianka) they will not remember much the beautiful and few moments they had with their father and sister, luckily there are photos and videos but nothing like the true essence
Knowing his youngest daughter’s middle name is Kobe warmed my heart so much. His legacy will forever live amongst us. Rest in Paradise king.

When younger guys was trying to go at Kobe... I find them lacking in a certain mindset. You can just see with their body mannerisms and facial expressions.
Conclusion that MJ and Kobe are peas in a pod.

I've watched a lot of these tributes, and one thing I'm certain of is that Kobe spent his final decade trying to be as good as possible to as many people as possible. This, for me, is far more impressive than his superhuman work ethic or domination of others through sport.
That is time on earth well spent because what you do for others lives forever
@@keithdior1657 It is... I'm not so sure he always treated others so well in his younger days. He often talked about his intense isolation in his first decade in the NBA.

Not a day has passed without thinking about him, been seeing posts on IG, FB and YT every day about him, been wearing his different jerseys everyweek and also seeing others in public doing the same. And will always play NBA 2K with him, He really was a hero. He did just right the exact quote at the end of the video. Im on a different field but still inspired by him, and I do really hope to be an inspiration on my own when it all said and been done in the art industry. Love you man thanks for being a part of this generation and helping us build and grow our better selves
Jimmy saying he wasn’t perfect but a great man a great father was the most honest thing someone has said about him what an amazing tribute
John O’Rourke amen! I really loved that as well...
As a matter of fact, that part will probably be my answer to the inevitable one or 2 people who choose to bring up negative things that are best left to discuss another time...
I think it is ok and appropriate for the good things to be highlighted in the wake of such a tragedy, while still acknowledging that they weren’t perfect.
John O’Rourke None of us are perfect.
He was a great basketball player, but great men dont rape women. He may have learned and grown since then, but plenty of ACTUAL great men make it their entire lives without needing to learn the obvious.

@@hades773 be the example? i dont understand. i grew up idolizing kobe and wanting to be just like him. reading everything I could, watching games, practicing, and saying "Kobe!" everytime I took a tough or seemingly impossible shot, simply because Kobe did the impossible. I shed a tear because for me, and many others around the world, Kobe wasn't just some celebrity we looked up to, but he was a big part of our lives...just like family. And even though he probably didn't even know I existed, his legacy impacted me in a way that changed my life, and I will forever be grateful. point is, for me kobe was not just a celebrity, but a significant part of my life, and when he died, I did shed a tear because of the impact he had on me. the fact that both he and his daughter died, and his wife and kids lost a father and their sister....how can you not shed a tear? this isn't some movie...this is real life.

Rest in Peace Kobe Bryant, Gianna Bryant (13), John Altobelli, Keri Altobelli, Alyssa Altobelli (13), Sarah Chester, Payton Chester (13), Christina Mauser, Ara Zobayan
Prayers to all the families
Thank you for sharing their names. May their soul rest in peace
Finally, thank you for honoring them all.
Kobe with my dad and tupac and my dead friends i miss everyday. Im hysterical and mental rn
Virsian Looms its gonna be ok i know it
@@KayLeiane "honoring" In the RUclips comment section, wake up xD
here just a few months before the 5 year anniversary .. was never a huge basketball fan but i remember finding out about this and being overcome by sadness. i thought about how in his final moments he made one last act of being a phenomenal father and comforted his daughter, while probably knowing the outcome. gone but truly never forgotten. ❤
I just can’t believe Kobe is gone😔
Jimmy’s right, this is the last person you’d expect to go. He had so much left to give, I just hope Kobe’s family gets through this.
What about the baseball coach that died, along with his wife and youngest daugther. They had 2 more children thats alive, what's worse? No offense to Kobe but one family this has 1 parent and 1 has none.
@jeebs621 I don’t know why god took him and his daughter away from us at this time and I feel speechless in many ways because it doesn’t make senses why this would happen to kobe RIP 😭
Another clown down
@Lee true. you are right.
@@AG-mw5hj your comment is evil.
to the social media manager: Thanks a lot for not splitting this show up to serveral YT vids just to make money! This show was heartbreaking....great you mentioned the others as victims as well!
from assistant to the social media manager: you are welcome.
The social media manager didn't make this call lmao
Ralf Pytlik It still has multiple ads...
ChaotiX SkuLLS hmm odd, I don’t have any ads. That may be less about the specific channel and more about just RUclips trying to monetize?
@@chaotixskulls7051 not here in Germany,...
I’m going to tell myself that every single person that disliked this only did so because they dislike the fact he died & not because they’re heartless.
tbh i didnt like or dislike because i dont know what is the better choice in this situation
CappedBeef7954 Same. I didn’t touch the ratings
They wanted to like but the tears made their vision blurry
Some people don’t like him because of the sexual assault allegations against him in the early 2000s and his admitted infidelity to his wife. I’m not saying I believe the sexual assault thing but yeah. That might be why
Marquita Tiffin Actually, it’s a proven statistical fact that ~1% of viewers tend to miss click. No one can do much about it, which is why the most liked video doesn’t even have 0 dislikes
Genuinely nice people can light up an entire room with just a smile. Almost a year now, and the memory of that awful day is still so fresh. Lost my hubby 11 years ago, the pain is still here, just bearable. I feel for his wife & kids. God bless them with grace & strength.
imagine having a dad that's a legend but not getting the chance to get to know him. i feel so sad for his daughters, specially for the youngest one.
edit: idk why some of the responses make something negative out of my comment. this is my opinion and what i feel.
1. i am sad for the other people and families affected by this as well. they weren't mentioned in my comment bc i just wrote what was on my mind at the time to get it off my chest.
2. idk their names, nor do i know them. should i research first before commenting my OWN thoughts? but despite of that, it doesn't mean that i'm not sad for the ppl that are affected by the accident as well.
3. i feel saddest for the youngest bc she's gonna grow up without a dad. imagine having the whole world knowing your dad but not you.
4. can we just not make something negative out of nothing. stop nitpicking and being so butthurt. just grieve in peace away from other people's opinion if your going to criticize for literally no gain.
What about the coach of kobes daughters team she died now the husband is left with 3young children. Why arent you all grieving for him also as well as the other families. Its always only the famous you praise...shame
@@leo.m.brooks2848 because the news barely covered their stories but of course we all feel bad for the others lost in the tragic event
buster Brooks We don’t know who those people were or even their names. I’m not even into basketball but i know Kobe Bryant. He was a household name that MANY people looked up to. The others who are not famous are being grieved by their loved ones and friends.
Robert Irwin must feel the same way since everyone keeps comparing to a person he never knew
@@leo.m.brooks2848 Because we are familiar with Kobe Bryant. People all over the world know who he is. Obviously it's an all around sad situation. Please don't tell us how to grief and turn it into something shameful.
I noticed when Kobe was interviewed by himself he was kind of shy and quiet but when Kimmel interviewed him with his teammates he was stern and almost leader-like. You can tell why he inspired he’s teammates so much.
ive also done this he is a like begger like me
@Donald J. Trump OMG soooo edgyI'm sooooooo triggered aaahhhhh everyone is so affected by you.
.......
Donald J. Trump
You hate yourself so much that you have to use another disgusting human being as an Avatar? LMAO
Staring at the mirror must be a chore 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
It says something about how immensely likable and charismatic Kobe was that he, an athlete - made 15 appearances on a talk show. That's just not common.
And that's just Kimmel's show...never realized how many interviews he actually did. This man was pure Greatness...the Good die young
Billy Joel
Pete Schemberger 🙄
Pete Schemberger mostly true for his playing career, but he lived for others and especially his daughters after retirement. And now the world weeps
I was huge fan of Kobe. Still cant believe He left this world so early. He will never be forgetten. I hope that He is playing basketball on the other side of this Universe.
may i ask - didn’t this sad event happen theee years ago? i don’t u derstand how this video was uploaded only two years ago ?
when his voice cracked i cried so hard. i admire you Jimmy and i miss you Kobe!
I miss Kobe too
oioO to
vinasu maaj if that was the case they all would be gone
R.I.P Kobe from Kobe, 🇯🇵
Not the job of God don’t blame Jesus for an orchestrated attack to silence Kobe from exposing big Pharma
How can 5 thousand people dislike this it’s heavily disappointing how people can still disrespect even when he is dead
the reason i disliked, is cuz it seems like jimmy kimmel among other news stations like tmz ETC. ETC. ETC. are all just trying to capitalize on his death and make money from it.
fizik welcome to doing your job
@@ferretdash Should they ignore his death instead? Whenever ANYONE of status passes everyone pays tribute in their own way. The dislike is yours to leave, but try to see all the coverage from the perspective of how these people who loved and admired him feel - "Kobe deserves to be celebrated for his talent and all he gave to the world". Just my two pennies.
That's the first thing I said to myself. How the hell almost 6 thousand people dislike a video trying to pay respect to Kobe? Sucks when someone dies you still have haters instead of human beings with empathy for lives lost.
Maybe they dislike the fact that an idol is gone?
Ngl I’m not a Kobe fan or never really watched him but this makes my stomach hurt just thinking how unfair life can be
Rest in paradise everyone who died in the helicopter
Danny I feel the same way. Not that much a sports fan or fan of anyone. But this is just NOT FAIR. Those poor family members.
Kobe was nobody time until this interview and I really like him .
I feel the same
2022 and the pain hits fresh, prayers to all families and those connected to that tragedy. Love you Kobe!
When Kobe was talking about his oldest daughters driving being so good and jimmy said the next one (GiGi) is gonna be a maniac I couldn’t hold back the tears... 😭
Mythic _. SAME UGH
Mythic _. Why?
Omg same I’m sobbing
Agathe Conruyt becuase his next daughter who they were talking about being a maniac when she grows up and learns to drive etc was the one who died in the accident with him and she was only 13
Sarah xx i know i think you responded to the wrong person !
When they speak about Gianna in the interviews, that is just the worst feeling, she was too young. RIP
SO sad she was his little basketball star legacy.....only 13!
30 years later
"Yells Kobe when i threw something in the trash"
Son: what does that mean?
Me: Sit down son, let me tell you a story of greatness.
Edit: I commented this to show love and support for Kobe. And I still have haters saying I stole this from someone.
I want everyone to copy and paste this to KEEP IT GOING.
And then he learns to say "For Kobe" every time he shoots
Leonardo Anquilo 😢😢😢😢😢😢
😪
You could just make him go online.
@Roger Smith Kinda inconsiderate
Watching this again today because I miss Kobe.
The more I watch these clips of Kobe, the more I realized I got him all wrong.
I thought he was pompous, arrogant, and proud. The reality is, he was confident, humble, and, best of all, he NEVER said anything negative about anyone during these interviews. He always took the opportunity to say something positive or give praise. How much we can learn from that simple action that he was doing consistently.
Wow you are in point! Respect.
A lot are saying this, I think people thought how he was playing basketball was how he was in real life. Plus you see how many athletes act and you assume it's the same for all.
I agree 100%. Now I never thought of him negatively, at the same time I never thought of him positively. I just never really cared. But after watching all these athletes and celebrities talk about his death or talk about him or I watch an interview he has done in the past however long. I find out that he's an amazing person and I feel horrible for his family right now. As well as everybody else is on that helicopter. Rest in peace black mamba
I JUST WANT TO KNOW DID ANYONE EVER HEAR KOBE SPEAK ABOUT GOD/JESUS.... THANKING GOD? DID HE EVEN BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST?
@@grandfatherclock9937 may I ask why that even matters?
As a kid of a single mother who knew nothing about sports, I learned how to play basketball from watching Kobe on ABC on Sundays back in 1999/2000. Watch the game, then go try to emulate him. In a lot of ways Kobe filled that father figure role in my life. He didn’t know it, but at 30 years old now, I owe a lot of who I am today to him.
Same here brother
I know the feeling... Stay strong man. Keep your chin up and live your best life in memory of Kobe. He would demand that of you.
Bravo to you!
This is incredibly respectful. Not knocking any of the other talk show hosts but most went on like usual while inserting a little segment about Kobe. Jimmy dismissed his entire studio audience because it’s not the time to go on as usual.
I'm German and only knew Kobe from seeing him in one early episode of "Modern Family". I was never a big sports fan, but after that episode I saw him on TV like in the news or somewhere, and whenever he appeared on the screen, I got happy. I don't know why, but this man had a talent of making people smile by just existing, just showing up. Just by seeing him. When the news broke of his passing, I hoped so much that it was untrue. I was in shock to find out that it was true and it didn't only take him, but other innocent people, including his daughter. I still smile when I see him. He was such a great guy. He is missed. And will forever be missed, loved and remembered. He's taking care of his big girl up there ❤
Nice to see Jimmy acknowledging both aspects of his personality and also extending condolences to all the victims of the crash. He acknowledged Kobe’s professional accomplishments, his personality and yet brought up the fact that he was a flawed human being.
Rob C he’s probably changed a bit so don’t get too upset
