+swaggy rawnigga How is Kobe too competitive in business of competing?????We didnt get no one in the free agency because we suck......That right there my friend,is not Kobes fault
+Luis Estevez Yes it did, He inspired me to play this game, and why I love the game. Its been a long journey, 20 years and its time to put it on the rafters.
Long Live Kobe and Gigi Bryant. Kobe, you are my inspiration even though we never met, you brought me so much happiness in my life that I’ll never forget. I remember watching the 2010 NBA finals and it inspired me to play basketball. Your work ethic, your determination toward excellence was a message for me to also succeed in whatever I do. I remember my love the sport instantly grew when I first watched you. I used to play 8 hours a day, everyday in any weather including snow, rain whatever the case me be because I loved basketball so much and wanted to become better at it. Watching you play was the most exciting thing for me because of how beautiful you played, your footwork, your style was so unique in a amazing way. As I played basketball in school, many of friends who never played joined in with me, especially in elementary school. We played everyday and I grew to have so many friends back then. Without you, I believe I never would have played basketball as much.YOU were the Michael Jordan of my generation and in my eyes you are the greatest to ever play. Seeing you post retirement training and coaching Gigi was amazing to watch. Seeing you help the youth in sports was beautiful to see. This tragedy is really tough on me. Kobe will forever be in my heart and his legacy will be forever. God bless you Kobe and Gianna Bryant. God bless the other passengers on board. My prayers are with the families of the victims and Vanessa and her daughters.
Today's Wednesday, April 13, just a regular day for me and I feel so emotional. Then I realized, today's Kobe Bryant's last game. Kobe has been playing in the NBA since I started watching basketball. So many memories and happiness from game winners, amazing plays, winning seasons and winning championships. He kept the city of Los Angeles relevant for over 20 years with all his attributes and everything he did with the Lakers. He's the player I admired the most. I never understood how people my age (24) admired Jordan more than Kobe. Don't get me wrong Jordan is one of, if not, the best. But I didn't see Jordan in his prime because I was too young, I saw Kobe. The NBA will definitely not be the same without him. Thank you Kobe, for everything you have done and given us. Last game, show us again one more time.
Even if you hate him, which a lot of you do, you still have to respect his game, one of the greatest. The league will never be the same once he is gone.
time has come my one and the only hero of basketball has to leave the court soon buT PLEASE KOBE rise again rise again for one last time show us your killer fadeaways and amazing footworks with ur mambaface on. i aint ready to say good bye yet.
This video hits me in a different way now. Rest In Peace Kobe Jellybean Bryant, and to your daughter. As well as the remaining passengers on the helicopter.
I tear up every time I watch this as well. I grew up watching Kobe Bryant. From 1996 to 2016. He is my all time favorite player and I am going to miss watching him play. I am going to miss the fade ways. I am going to miss the mamba face. I am going to miss The Greatest Laker Ever to play the game of basketball.
fuck this just makes me tear up, i love the lakers, but when you grow up as a kid watching this man, its hard to think there will ever a be another player i respect and love more than kobe.
I don't even have time to watch basketball anymore to busy trying to adult now but this actually made me cry real tears kobe you will be missed and as a laker fan and basketball fan thank you for the memories
Just watched this a few minutes after his final game (60 game performance might I add). Words cannot describe the legacy, the talent, and the legend that will now and forever will be KOBE.
Time by Hans Zimmer is the song, and its really appropriate, with the amount of time he was given, 20 years in the league, he put it to good use, any way he could have. Kobe the best in my opinion.
The greatest basketball player of all time, Jordan was number 1 and Kobe is 1A, The NBA will never be the same once Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan are gone
This guy made me love that Sport. When he retires the NBA will lose its biggest competitor and GOAT next to Jordan. Hopefully we will see him in some NBA-related job again. NBA-Analyst could be possible, not for ESPN, but I guess Kobe will get any Job he wants to. Its not over though, he has still one/two seasons in him and he/the Lakers organization will make it count. He doesnt have to prove anybody anything anymore. He just has to prove himself. Wish him the best.
Man this vid makes me wanna tear up, growing up with Kobe as a role model..it's indescribable. You want to apply his thirst in the same way, makes you want to excel at every single damn thing you do. You don't get to be like Kobe unless you have an unparalleled amount of determination and will like he does, he's just phenomenal. Forget the comparisons, this dudes done more in these last few decades than any other player for me.. Thank you Kobe, thank you for everything. #24
I think we can all agree no matter who your favorite team is or who your favorite player is... Kobe is a legend and most people if not everybody will miss him when he's gone...
I rarely comment on videos and I rarely watch them more than once especially videos like this about athletes but this was just so insperational and amazig.... Great job to anyone who was part of making this video I really appreciat it. Thank you.
I'm a 16 year old aspiring basketball player that has game but is afraid to show it. This is the most inspirational video I have ever seen. Its time for me to put my big boy pants on.
I still remember watching that game against the Warriors in April... It was difficult to watch because you could see Kobe is so tired and hurt but still kept going, even when his achilles tenson is fully torn he still managed to stand there and made two big free throws...damn
Even seeing your post here is inspirational, not just in sports but universally. My sports career was prolonged due to ACL and MCL tears, even kept on playing through my injuries not getting surgeries years later because of my passion with sports. I'm recuperated now, playing sports again as a hobby because right now my main focus is changing the world along side with the tremendously revolutionizing Empower Network.
7/28 in final 24 seconds of playoff games to tie or go ahead, regular season he is 46/155 (29%). Dirk and Pierce are still the most clutch players of his era.
***** Lmao, what about the finals, what about the shots he makes to single-handedly will his team back into a game? Believe this, when Kobe retires, it'll be the end of an era of greatness, and it'll be a sad day for the NBA, not just Laker fans, but fans of basketball, you've to respect his greatness, and LeBron, isn't anywhere near his career yet. But LeBron still has much left in him, you just have to respect his game that's all.
The first time I saw basketball period was a Kobe Bryant highlight reel from 2003 when I was 6 years old. His will to win and dominance made me want to play ball. That's why no mather what happens Kobe will ALWAYS be my favorite player!
Kobe.. a true basketball player. Never gave up, never backed down. Loves the game more than any other, and the game loves him back. Majestically talented, phenomenal athlete. Sure there were some downs, but hey, nobody is perfect. We ALL can agree on that. Growing up while watching him on the court was a blessing. I'm looking forward for his return.
beautiful video, the ending of the video I can imagine kobe retired sleeping in his living room, reliving that moment in his memories. And opening his eye's and fans are chanting mvp to some futuristic player on tv. Kobe the one and only, GOAT. Once again great video. Almost brought me to tears....
Kobe showed us heart, he didn't care about the raping charges. He showed confidence. He led us to believe to never quit. Remember game 7 of the 2008 playoffs? Well he got revenge in 2010 he never quits.
I get chills watching this every single time, even writing this I already have chills and the video hasn't even passed 2 mins yet. I have been watching the Lakers ever since I've got into basketball when I was entering middle school. The lakers got Kobe a couple days before I was born and its just a blessing to witness this guy play with so much heart. My whole body gets chills at the end and I cry. After I watch this I can easily pick up a ball and be by myself for 3+ hours straight no problem.
every time i watch this video! tears come out of my eyes i am so glad to say i watch all hes career since i was a kid i honestly dont know how i gonna watch basketball after he retires from NBA!!! Legend for ever Bleed Purple and Gold
Damn I was 5 years old when Kobe was a rookie and now I'm 22 and he's still going as hard as ever. I cried when he was shooting those free throws at the end because he worked so hard this whole season. It's gonna be very sad when he retires.
out of all the kobe highlight and best shot and great game videos iv seen on youtube over the years this one was the very best heart of a true champion and kobe's will and dedication to be the very fuckin best at what u do will have him among the great no matter what it is he does in his life #Insperational #NotTheMambasLastGame #HeartOfAChampion
Kobe has showed me to believe in me!! He is to me the perfect example of reaching for dreams and making them happen we are the same age and I'v lived through waching his talent evolve with the Lakers we have enjoyed several championships he made it all happen for him self so we lovr him for it God bless. I remember the draft like it was yesterday. I've always admired his discipline commitment and the ability to focus in the most crucial moments in order to succeed.
When Kobe leaves, everyone who is a fan of the sport of basketball will shed a tear
I know I will
Isaac Mussie Maybe it's time...
wish he could play at a high level for longer......... when he leaves it's like who am i gonna watch again???
very true
+swaggy rawnigga How is Kobe too competitive in business of competing?????We didnt get no one in the free agency because we suck......That right there my friend,is not Kobes fault
Show us again :(
This hurts so much.
Kobe just announced his retirement and watching this brought all the feels. Thank you Kobe Bryant, basketball won't be the same without you
+Luis Estevez Yes it did, He inspired me to play this game, and why I love the game. Its been a long journey, 20 years and its time to put it on the rafters.
Kobe Bryant won this championship last year
Am I the only one here that has watched this video over 20 times?

Your story is eerily similar to mine, only difference was it was 2009 finals for me. Still don't feel real he's gone man
I have watched this probably 50 times and I have teared up every single time
It's a tough pill to swallow.
It's never going to be the same.
Kobe is the best!!!! R.I.P. 😥💔🥀🥀
I cry even more now
Whoever did this commercial did a fantastic job, the song is amazing, but the whole thing really captures Kobe.
+RadicalSpirit Nike did.
I am so glad to have been able to watch his career growing up. RIP GOAT
Watch this for motivation. Can’t believe he’s gone. Forever a legend. All respect but this is my GOAT.

This video hits me in a different way now. Rest In Peace Kobe Jellybean Bryant, and to your daughter. As well as the remaining passengers on the helicopter.
Seriously when you watch this for the first time and you're a beyond Kobe fan how do you not tear up
Stay healthy Kobe! Take ur time. And when ur ready 100%, show them who is real basketball.
The Best commercial of Kobe I have seen. No question.
It always gives me goosebumps whenever they show him limping with one leg to make those two valuable freethrows. Show us again Mamba!
I tear up every time I watch this as well. I grew up watching Kobe Bryant. From 1996 to 2016. He is my all time favorite player and I am going to miss watching him play. I am going to miss the fade ways. I am going to miss the mamba face. I am going to miss The Greatest Laker Ever to play the game of basketball.

Second I heard the song, I knew this video was gonna be amazing.
Once I read Kobe's farewell letter, I had to rewatch this video...
+13MrGuy I did too... its just, a really good farewell. But maybe once, He can Show us again.
this ad hits me right in the feels.
It's game time the legend is reborn and ready to continue his legacy
that backfired lol
Still made 5mill for every game he played in this season bud lol
Just watched this a few minutes after his final game (60 game performance might I add). Words cannot describe the legacy, the talent, and the legend that will now and forever will be KOBE.
Time by Hans Zimmer is the song, and its really appropriate, with the amount of time he was given, 20 years in the league, he put it to good use, any way he could have. Kobe the best in my opinion.
This makes me cry because of how much of an inspiration he is to fans everywhere. He gives hope and thats al that really matters. 👑💯
Crying like a baby watching this 😭😭😭😭 the feels! ♡♡♡
This video never gets old to me. To be honest this brought tears to my eyes. Kobe is such a dedicated player to the game. #LakersForLife
The greatest basketball player of all time, Jordan was number 1 and Kobe is 1A, The NBA will never be the same once Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan are gone
The last of their kind along with vince dirk kg n Paul pierce.

I rarely comment on videos and I rarely watch them more than once especially videos like this about athletes but this was just so insperational and amazig.... Great job to anyone who was part of making this video I really appreciat it. Thank you.
I'm a 16 year old aspiring basketball player that has game but is afraid to show it. This is the most inspirational video I have ever seen. Its time for me to put my big boy pants on.
Im a celtic fan
But I think kobe is just out of this world
I hope he returns healthy to smash on those gay heat
Gonna show us again December 8th.
This video hurt to watch back when it first came out. Now it hurts to watch because Kobe’s gone. R.I.P. Mamba!
I still remember watching that game against the Warriors in April... It was difficult to watch because you could see Kobe is so tired and hurt but still kept going, even when his achilles tenson is fully torn he still managed to stand there and made two big free throws...damn
I bet this video brings tears to the eyes of idol worshippers everywhere...
Yeah it's called inspiration
Don't worry Laker family revenge is coming next season
You said that two seasons ago !
Even seeing your post here is inspirational, not just in sports but universally. My sports career was prolonged due to ACL and MCL tears, even kept on playing through my injuries not getting surgeries years later because of my passion with sports. I'm recuperated now, playing sports again as a hobby because right now my main focus is changing the world along side with the tremendously revolutionizing Empower Network.
RIP the legend. Forever showing us and leading by example how to be great
kobe is a better clutch shooter than lebron
no shit sherlock
7/28 in final 24 seconds of playoff games to tie or go ahead, regular season he is 46/155 (29%).
Dirk and Pierce are still the most clutch players of his era.
***** Lmao, what about the finals, what about the shots he makes to single-handedly will his team back into a game?

But LeBron still has much left in him, you just have to respect his game that's all.
Rayush Sharma even lebron respects kobe and thinks kobe and jordan are both better than him no matter what anyone says, he said that himself...
***** 7/28 in the finals in clutch moments (25%). Yeah, what a fool you are.
It's weird. After Kobe retired, i lost ALL interest in basketball
The first time I saw basketball period was a Kobe Bryant highlight reel from 2003 when I was 6 years old. His will to win and dominance made me want to play ball. That's why no mather what happens Kobe will ALWAYS be my favorite player!

hello hans zimmer
God my allergies must really be acting up
beautiful video, the ending of the video I can imagine kobe retired sleeping in his living room, reliving that moment in his memories. And opening his eye's and fans are chanting mvp to some futuristic player on tv. Kobe the one and only, GOAT.
Once again great video. Almost brought me to tears....
When you see this guy you can feel the heart and passion he has for the game that's what I love about KOBE .
What's this instrumental called?
Time by Hanz Zimmer
This really made me cry. Kobe is the best, love him!
Kobe showed us heart, he didn't care about the raping charges. He showed confidence. He led us to believe to never quit. Remember game 7 of the 2008 playoffs? Well he got revenge in 2010 he never quits.
Bro i dont mean to rain on your inspirational comment or anything but the lakers lost in 6 in '08
lol
I get chills watching this every single time, even writing this I already have chills and the video hasn't even passed 2 mins yet.
