    The best part of this video is at 10:41 , when Kobe finds his father in the crowd and they both hug each other. As a father, this had to be special, and now it's that much more special now that Kobe is gone. I couldn't watch this part without crying. Thanks for the awesome video !!!

    Kobe was supremely talented with an extraordinary work ethic. To me he was like the Jerry Rice or the Walter Payton of the NBA. They weren’t the absolute most physically gifted or talented, but there relentless desire and drive to get better and ultimately reach the absolute pinnacle of the abilities they were blessed with, is what propelled them into all-time greatness.

    The game before this Kobe was dominate. Lower Merion played Chester in the PIAA Eastern Conference Championship at The Palystra in Philly. I was in attendance.... Chesters front line was all 6'8" and none of them could stop Kobe. Years before Kobes dominance there was a school outta Philly....Simon Gratz... with Rasheed Wallace..... check out that run.

Why the hell would god have a court in heaven. I'm sure he doesn't have internet so why does your comment speak to kobe like he can see it? Is that not weird bro?
