    I don’t know why but Mike not even attempting to wipe the tears off his face messes me up every time.

    Kobe's daughter passing with him was the worst. It was something that shook the whole world. Kobe was special. He really was way too young. I watch this sometimes, just because it is good to cry here and there. I have a daughter her age and it just breaks my heart. That was a very sad day, because it reminds me of other good friends that passed away too soon. Jordan was a rock, and it shows you these guys are all people.

    Kobe's passing was one of the hardest things to cope. When I was just a teen living in China, Kobe was the first basketball player I've known. I would watch lakers game during the lunch break with my classmates and admired all his moves! I bought so many kobe's posters and signed his name in Chinese (lol). 10 years later, I moved to the states. My top checklist was to see laker's game in staples center. I still vividly remembered seeing Kobe playing on court. He nailed it in the 4th quarter and lakers won ! That was a dream come true moment of my life. I wanted to say thank you dear Kobe. You gave me strength and hope. Now i'm 35 and soon become a mother. I will teach my kid to play basketball and watch your games together. Lots of love.

His wisdom brought another dimension to understand the dedication and love to what I do in life. Incredible person and thanks to his book which can be taken into many other areas not only within sport self discipline. Book accelerates the personal cognitive map for who we are and what is our purpose in life. Thank You for this inspiration and sending love to heaven. ❤️🙏

    Coming from someone who doesn’t watch basketball, Kobe’s death hit me harder than any other celebrity death. He was one of those untouchable athletes in my mind. Someone who would be around for a very long time. Suddenly he dies in horrific way alongside his daughter. Came out of nowhere in the worst year of everyone’s lives. Absolutely heartbreaking. Rest in peace Kobe & Gianna Bryant ❤️

    MJ rarely gives public speeches & hadn't spoken publicly about Kobe since his passing. It goes to show just how much he was hurting & how much he loved Kobe like a little brother.
    To have the G.O.A.T. himself in tears, speaking highly of you & your character to the world. Acknowledging your greatness to your peers, is the ultimate honor.
    Truly, 1 of the greatest moments in Sports history.

He cherished life no matter the position he was in. On the court, at home or in public it didn’t matter. He was one of few who chose to live while heartedly and put his fame aside. He realized something many in the fame industry dont and that is fame was his job not his identity. Rip Kobe.

    I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

    My girlfriend at the time didn't understand why I cried when Kobe died. She just didn't understand what he meant to individual people like us. To have someone who ignited so many feelings and passion inside of us, and was a master of a sport we all love, lost so untimely truly broke hearts. Miss you Kobe, hope you and Gigi are safe and happy in the next life
