    Kümmel: “I didn’t ask you guys, I asked him!” THANK YOU!! The audience needed to SHUT UP and listen!! Kobe didn’t hardly let anything or anybody bother him. He didn’t need to. He was in a league of his own and knew it, yet had a humble attitude! It’s really just so hard to believe he and GiGi are gone. If we can’t wrap our heads around it, imagine what his family is going through!!

      E Bloom it has NOTHING to do with Astrological signs. I know many Virgo’s and their drive does not even compare. That type of hard work, determination, integrity, Love, depth, and Will is NOT typical‼️Because if it were typical, all Virgo’s would be successful in the same aspect and that is just not the case. Simply put, YOU HAVE TO WANT IT BAD ENOUGH💯 ‼️ I know from experience. And guess what, I am not a Virgo. Enjoy your night😇 Be blessed 🙏🏾

      AvecPoésie no it does not, but he was hard on himself and it had a hand in him being one of the greats of his craft. And tell someone that has NOT lived six decades and does not know anything about life. I am NOT and a Virgo. I have three successful businesses and raised five children to be excellent at their crafts. And NOT one of mine are Virgo’s. They too are hard on themselves. I instilled in my children to be one of the best at WHATEVER they do💯Besides, there are MANY MANY MORE Virgo’s in this world that are NOT successful. EVERYONE is different. It has nothing to do with an astrological sign💯. REALLY❗️

    I often wonder if Kobe was one of those aliens that you would see in a movie who came to Earth, transformed himself to look human and was quickly able to learn and do almost anything with perfection. Kobe was a real-life Starman/Superman. He will be missed for a long, long time. R.I.P Black Mamba and little Mamba, Gigi.

    Kobe was a cold-hearted assassin on the court, but a thoughtful, conscientious human being off of it. I'm glad I got to witness his excellence in my lifetime. May he rest in eternal peace.

    Jimmy echoed my thoughts with the statement @28:28 "That is funny, you won and you're still upset". That's because Kobe was the epitome of Excellence; and he was so articulate, intelligent, charismatic, humble and good hearted. He'll forever be an example and never forgotten. RIP Kobe, Gigi and the other 7 victims.

    Kobe Bryant was a Special Athleta and highly obsessed with pushing himself to be the best he can be. He died to soon. But his achievements are legendary. As his ability to win. Makes him special. His alter ego the Black Mamba took him to the stratosphere in gutting it out. I respect Kobe for his passion in basketball 🏀 and for his winning attitude. I miss him. When I am going through a stuff situation I use a mantra and chant out his name. An it lifts me to be the best I can be.

      @albertr.henderson8646 Před 2 lety

      Kobe Bryant. Kobe excercised and push himself to be the best Basketball celebrity and star basketball player. Mr Bryant focused on building his mental and physical endurance to be a Basketball athlete and legend. He went well above other basketball players as he practice in the gym overzealously to make his body to endure hundreds of hours of physical demands he forced his mind and body to do incredible basketball feats. He would challenge his team and himself to win basketball games and to be in the greatest physical and mental state needed to out manuever other top basketball players on the court to win basketball games. His focus on winning basketball games and making phenomenal shots with the basketball made him one of the elite and top basketball players in the game of basketball.Kobe dominated the sport of basketball. Upon his retirement from Basketball he even won an Academy Award for his efforts to be a winner outside of basketball. I believe had he became an NBA coach he would have had great success in doing that. Kobe tragedically died while flying out on a helicopter to coach his daughter Gianna in her basketball game. He died trying to do what he loved and that is teaching Gianna his understanding of basketball. The helicopter crashed into a hill top.Thus taking his and his daughter Gianna's life with 6 other people who were on board of the doomed helicopter....I am heartbroken to know that everyone on board of the helicopter perished.. Today when I am pushing my body to run or to compete in Sports I think of Kobe,and how he practiced and excercised to be the best in enduring practice and the pain on the body as he pushed his body and mind to help him to push forth in winning in what he pursued. Kobe Bryant a mere man who helped us to see alot of amazing things he did in life and in Basketball. I salute you. Mr Kobe Bryant
