"good game, tough loss, who cares" well said. We lost someone important to us today...
😢😢😢
Yea well said by Coach Pop!!!!
Well said Sir. 😢😢😢😢😢
But why bring it up??
Pop a savage
Pop is the Goat. Such a classy man.
Pop always does it his way..
Facts.. the real goat. Nobody coached nba better. Just imagine what he would have done with the bulls and lakers teams phil had
I’m actually surprised he’s still coaching
Joseph best coach ever
I got Pop and Phil Jackson as my favs.
“Tough Loss, Who Cares” Perfect
Pop is really the goat just for that
Gotta love him
Why is that Perfect?
WHy is taht PErfect pls tell me
Војкан Трифуновић he was saying “who cares that they lost the one game when Kobe’s life is more important”
“Good game tuff loss who cares” this is why i love pop , it’s bigger then just basketball , games should have been canceled today. And don’t come at me with “people paid to see games today” real fans would have understood and let the players mourn.
Thank you
Ops The Label yeah
Ops The Label so if you spent thousands of dollars for court side seats you wouldn’t be mad if the game was canceled?
Kobe wouldn't have wanted that.
I’m ngl I would want my money back
When pop says more than 5 words u know it’s important
Change your pic from harden to Kobe bro
James Charles he’s a rockets fan why would he want kobe as his pfp
Gamer harden grew up wanting to be Kobe
Change your pic to kobe the Goat
Will y'all shut up about his profile pic
Must be hard for DeRozan his game literally came from Kobe from rim rattling dunks to being a sniper from the Mid Range of course minus the defense
And he’s a LA kid he undeniably looked up to Kobe growing.
his game actually came more from wade which he has said on occasion but kobe is an idol of his.
@Sudarshan Raj tru
@Raul Salazar get. the. f. out. of. here.
@Raul Salazar You sir, are an imbecile. Kobe made the first team in defense on several occasions. He took great pride in his defense. Do some research prior to making a fool of yourself.
Kobe is literally one of the biggest names in basketball.
When u think of the nba u think of of 3 people and Kobe is one of them.
Rest In Peace Kobe and Gianna
We all will miss them dearly.
Who are the other 2?
Jack Liu probably lebron, Michael Jordan, curry, 2 of them
one of the biggest names in the world
Not in basketball, not in sports, one of the biggest names period anywhere, any industry
@@RKO859 LeBron and Jordan for worldwide recognition.
He may be gone but his legacy will never die. Still yelling “KOBE” when I shoot . Rest In Peace Kobe and Gigi
Facts
And the others on the helicopter
I'ma still be saying"Kobe" as well
@@jadenkatrina8040 Too soon
@@jkmorbo how is that too soon
Pop maintains historic levels of class at all times.
Exactly.
He is right up there with Pat Riley. I always found Riley to be a little classier though.
@Alias Fakename one of the few times where someone political beliefs don't matter in a time like this
Alias Fakename calm down snowflake
hearing that his daughter was in that helicopter made it 100 times worst.
Yeah that was tough. Its a rare situation.
*worse
@@Garcia-elf worst* in honor of Kobe the 🐐
Christian Quiñones what?
Christian Quiñones WORSE*
Heart goes out to Vanessa Bryant and her surviving daughters, and families of the other victims, who are dealing with indescribable grief at this time.
Totally agree.
Agreed. I can't imagine what they could be going through right now. A sudden tragedy that ripped families apart. I pray for them at this time of grief and hope they stay strong.
His mom dad and 2 sister's
Indeed.
mediamannaman 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💔💔💔
long live Kobe you’ll never be forgotten in our hearts.. this seasons for you mamba
combatwombat68 remember hero’s are remembered but legends never die
Jimmby12 Jommoz amen brother. god bless
combatwombat68 yeah may god bless Kobe and Gianna as they walk together up the stairs to the door way to heaven may there souls Rest In Peace
Saki Maro just don’t say nothing okay... like what was the point if you ain’t got nothin nice to say don’t say nothin at all
@Saki Maro It gives them and let's them feel warm inside. It's all religons' ever been.
Pop was a mentor to Kobe always pushing him to be great and vice versa. Demar is one of many today who lost a role model we loved and will never forget.
"Good game, tough loss, who cares?"
This is why Popovich is the best. The outcome of a game is never bigger than the loss of a man and his daughter (along with 7 other passengers).
Can’t imagine what Pop is feeling because he has gone through a lot
Bille facts he loss his wife not too long ago at all 😞😥😢🖤🖤🖤
franklin shawn facts and Tim Duncan retired and manu and tony must be tough for him right now
Truly!
“Heroes get remembered but legends never die”-Babe Ruth
-babe Ruth
kovi schuster great quote but I think it was actually the fictional babe Ruth from the sandlot, less he actually said that in real life and I just don’t know
I got you
The most likes I ever had btw
Shut up Marshall
I grew up watching Kobe, his passing felt like I lost a big brother. I can't stop crying
Jake Manga you are right on with this one man. It hurts
Same
I literally have forgotten about the NBA all together cause of life but when this news came in i remembered how much i look up to him back when we were a kid and playing in the streets, it literally broke me even more knowing he died alongside her daughter!
Jake Manga I remember sitting up at the tv watching his games with my aunty b4 her ganes this hit way too hard
@@romarmars That's the most painful part. All he probably could do was grab Gigi and hold her tight knowing he couldn't save her or himself.
“GG tough loss who cares”
Pop gets it a global sports icon just passed away at a young age and pop knows we shouldn’t care about what happened in the game but what happened in the real world
I'm ridiculous for appreciating the way pop kept it calm cool collected after a loss cause he knew this day wasnt about that game but the true loss we all had to suffer through okay sure bud
Miles Davidson It’s ridiculous
YT: landstalker1109_UYA don’t feed the trolls bro. Some people’s lives have so little meaning they feel the need to be ugly online because it’s all they have.
GURU DA GR8EST OVERALL ok but I still wanna mourn the death of an icon so
@GURU DA GR8EST OVERALL what
“Good game, tough loss, who cares” pop one of the greats
oh look, you learned how to copy paste every comment here, good for you
@@eugenehughgene4271 I'm sorry but they're not copying
His poor wife, Lost her love and baby seeing everyone so emotional I can’t imagine the pain she’s feeling.. My Prayers go out to his family
Mister X really
Mister X
Wow kind of insensitive
No amount of money replaces a loved one
Mister X You don’t have to project your beliefs on to the strong and motivated people like Kobe and Vanessa. I hope one day you realize that posting meaningless evil comments like this to catch some negative replies isn’t a good way to spend your time and doesn’t put your head in a good place. Hopefully you realize this is clearly not at all why they were married and you are just trolling, however I do feel bad for you if this is what you truly think.
зизиза
Agree
Mister X im pretty sure Vanessa would trade all the money just for kobe and gigi to come back.
The first line Pop said is why I admire this man.
And Demar is a LA kid. You know it hit different. He grew up watching Kobe
Mad respect for Pop
Good game tough loss who cares
then talks about kobe
I can't believe it's already been 4 years.... I am still so angry and sad that this happened. As a kid with no father (my father passed from cancer when I was very young), Kobe was a huge role model for me and I looked up to him in so many ways. I actually met him once at disney land when I was 13 (2008). He was walking through the park with his daughters Gianna and Natalia and everybody was surrounding him wanting autographs. I didn't have a pen for signature so I just gave him a high five. It was an amazing moment that I will never forget.
From an early age, I admired one player - Kobe. I followed my career from 2005-2016. I watched every move, every incredible shot, trying to replicate. I feel as much as I have lost a loved one, a family member. I cry and I will cry. you inspire me from an early age. You are and will remain to me forever, my authority, my inspiration. Thank you for every wonderful moment, thank you for making me better on and off the court. Every one of my throws, from now on will be for You! You left this world too fast, but you will remain forever in our hearts!
MVP's same here man. I lost a part of my childhood and adulthood today
He was so young! His daughter! And everyone else on board. Wow.
gigi was in there.
Gino De La Fuente umm it was confirmed they were on the way to a basketball event. The daughter was there. Way to call someone out before checking facts
Gino De La Fuente except his daughter was there moron
Wow? What kind of reaction is that?
You can feel their pain through their voices.
Legendary, father, and inspiration to all
“Good game. Tough loss. Who cares.” This man knows there are bigger things what a man👏
Gregg Popovich - good game but who cares 💯💯💯💯
Everybody is a KOBE BRYANT FAN TODAY 💛💜
Pop is the realist throughout the NBA
Clips 36 forreal
@Tony Preston at this point I'm a fan of her 💯
Not me
I'm now a fan
I read this comment earlier,
"Kobe would want them to play."
Gigi, her little friend,
The parent, the pilot & more.
Tough, but they can still play -
Mamba mentality.
As a father loosing his daughter with him.I cant stop crying.
You can tell Greg is really torn by this. ❤️ Even tho Lakers were rivals with San Antonio they respect Kobe. And Lakers always respect Tim Duncan
Well said
Amen
I was sleeping before the game, just wake Up in time to see the game, literally tip off and they dribble the ball out and Sean explain why, first I didn't know how to react, I'm in shock man like this has to be some kind of nightmare
@@stevedonahue7956 that is a disgusting thing to say. Why would you say that?
I was also woken up by my brother to to tell me Kobe had just passed, he knows how much I hold him in high regard, it felt like a nightmare, this hurt me a great deal. I know this sounds naive but I never thought I would see this day come, the day that I would mourn the man and the reason I fell I love with basketball, not the Mamba, not the GOAT, not Kobe😭💔
@@stevedonahue7956 your life is sad bro
steve donahue reported 😉. Disgusting human being
steve donahue you are disgusting
Every time I put down my phone and then I look back and read a headline I realize this really happened. This hurts different.
Same, I've read the headline over and over & it still doesn't settle in... "Death of Kobe Bryant" like how? :/
I thought is was fake, bro...but it's real alright
Yeah, I would watch the news coverage for like ~45 minutes at a time, get desensitized to it, pull myself away to do something else, and then either go watch TV again or check my phone, and seeing all the headlines again and seeing his face plastered everywhere and hearing people listing his achievements and crying like... no, it doesn't make any sense. We shouldn't be doing this, not yet. He was just here this morning. I just heard you say he's dead 20 times but no, sorry, didn't happen. Doesn't compute.
The two most important days in your life is the day that you were born and the day you realize your purpose
This is literally the worst day ever. The tears just won't stop flowing.
Thank you for the amazing memories Kobe. I will never forget you.
Vanessa Bryant I am so sorry for your loss of your husband Kobe Bryant and your daughter Gianna may they both rest in peace and my deepest condolences go out to you and the Bryant family
It’s an end of an era, we grew up with him, his baby passed with him, man, he was such a great story,
Still yelling "KOBE" when I shoot.
🐍
He may be gone, but his legacy never will be. Rest In Peace KOBE & GIGI 🙏
Now you yell for kobe
PressCAPLOCK I think he’d like that.
He's not gone bro, he lives through all of us man. Apply mamba mentality in all your goals.
Shut up
Those two 24 second shot-clock violations at the start of the game was a very solemn moment regardless of how it looks...
Pop knows about loss after losing his wife. Rest In Peace Kobe forever
A few years down, I’m going to get this in my recommendation and I’m still going to tear up as much as i did when i found out.
I’m ashamed to admit I was a Kobe hater early in his career and eventually he became my favorite player ever after seeing his passion for the game. This one definitely hits hard.
Me too...I'm a life long Spurs fan from San Antonio...I hated Kobe because he would kick our butts ..but I grew to respect him ..it's sad day
@@nathancuellar4403 I used to be a dolphin fan and used to feel the same way about Brady.
TonyStark48 I wasn’t a huge Kobe fan for most of his career. I respected his greatness, didn’t like his style, some of the off-court stuff. I started changing my opinion during his final years playing. The arrogance was gone but the grit was still there & I saw a classiness I hadn’t seen before. His best years were ahead of him, I think. Rest In Peace, Mamba.
"Good game tough loss who cares" pop is a national treasure fam
This doesn’t feel right
Krishna Dhari Ik... it almost feels like I’m in a terrible nightmare just ready to wake up 😞
it never will man
It's like where do we even go from here???I know life goes on,but this is just too sad
Heaven my brother we all go now heaven gets to have the king he gave us a legend now he's playing for Gods team
It doesn't feel real hes a legend and it's all so sudden he was here yesterday and now hes not 2020 will hopefully be better. He was so influential and a mentor to the ppl that didnt even know him personally it just feels so unreal
Legends never die... Rest In Peace Kobe... Always in our hearts
I LOVE Pop. I appreciate his words. I can't even imagine how the players are feeling.
Class Act by Pop..."Tough Loss Who Cares!" Long Live King Kobe!
Pop Is a Real one ❤️!
Thank you Pop, Be strong Demar and everyone else, God Bless
Love Pop, nice to hear from you and DeMar. This is still so hard to process.
The best coach ever...this was beautifully said
rest in peace kobe 😭😭😭😭 my idol in west(lakers)... ...
lebron fans here from philippines
we miss you kobe
Kobe was the type of players to inspire 2 year olds bruh ❤️❤️❤️❤️ the impact he left on the game was untouched.
Ive always loved Coach Pop. That man is 100% pure realness
Thank you Kobe Bryant 🙏🏽😭❤️
We love you Kobe ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Rest In Peace, Kobe. You brought me so many smiles as a kid. Love u man
Man I am crying and I don't follow basketball. Grew up with my brother watching Kobe and admiring him, so I saw him on the screen many times. I loved how he loved his family and I admired that; so heart broken for them. 💔
Pop knows how it is, after his wife died he knows how it is
Shout out to DeMar DeRozona for always rocking the Kobe Bryant shoes and trying to play hard. The San Antonio Spurs are my fourth favourite NBA Team.
I will live the rest of my life liked Kobe lived his..Helping others and being a great person.Your life has touched all of us..
There's no words for a tragedy like this.. 💔
Class act
Mad respect to Mister Popavich ( sorry if I miss spelt his name ) as well as Demar
Good game tough loss who cares he talked about Kobe and was like done like a true boss
Pop is simply the greatest man. The level of class, and knowing that it’s so much bigger than the game. “Good game, tough loss. Who cares?” Kobe will be missed.
Thanks D and Pop for showing Luv and respect to the 🐐 #8 #24
Can we please redo 2020?
We say for a man to be dead is when hes forgotton. A man lives on forever as long as his spirit & ideas live on. Mamba mentality lives on!
Amen
That was beautifully said.
Well said Pop. Thank you.
Kobe Bryant we will always remember your great smile... We love you brother 💋
Spurs fan ///
Sad is an understatement.
Demar’s from Compton, Kobe’s a folk hero in the LA area. You know he was hurting.
Even if you weren’t a fan of his, if you like basketball, this meant something. Kobe played for the marquee franchise for 2 decades and that made him polarizing.
Very deep sense of loss! I’m struggling through my day!
I’m so sorry. My heart and prayers go to his entire family. So truly sad.
This is crazy it really got me 😢
“ good game, tough loss, who cares “ see Pop is an amazing coach and person because he knows that they lost something bigger than a game
That man was an inspiration to a lot of people including me 😞
Well said 🙏💯
Pop is a great guy
Kobe I love you. A part of me died today with you. You were the best for me to ever lace them up. You were the reason I developed a competitive drive. You taught me so many lessons about life much more than basketball. You were my inspiration, my motivation, to me a basketball GOD. The impact you had on the lives of everyone was astronomical. You will never be forgotten. I’d cry enough tears to fill the oceans and give back anything I have to bring you back. But God works in mysterious ways. Bless you and little Giana, you loved her so much and took her straight to heaven with you. Condolences to all the other lives lost as well. Just beyond tragic. To everyone, please pay tributes, show your gratitude, learn to be perfect fathers, husbands, competitors, go shoot 81 shots. The smile of Kobe’s lit up a room, his insane work ethic was absolutely legendary. There will be never another Kobe Bryant in this league. Taken away so young and so soon, it’s like God got greedy and needed Kobe for bigger plans in heaven. Kobe, the GOAT, just like his game that was flawless, his passing is one that has shaken the entire world and turned it upside down. I love you Kobe. I love you.
Gregg Popovich is a beautiful human being! I 💘 Pop.
I love Pop he answers questions even before they're asked. What a genius 💯
Pop hate doing interviews but he did this one . Rest in peace to both souls
so sad
I love this coach respect
Love you Pop. Always humble 💯💯💯
Man.... Truly sad... We can be at the top of the world one day and be in the grave on the next 💔💔💔 Live for the future and not for now only 💔💔💔💔
Manasa Vuibau Batiwale Huuuu?🤔
Love pop for that "who cares" that was great
Pop is the man his team dueled with Kobe many times. Rest in peace Mamba.
That was awesome. Pop entered the room like a boss and left like a boss. Very short on words and straight to the point. Gotta love it.
Pop is a legend, he lost is wife recently stay strong pop
Good game, tough loss, who cares.
This is why everyone loves pop.
Never knew him personally but this man was such an influence in my life from a distance. My heart ❤ goes out to Vanessa Bryant and every other human being that can relate to such a tragedy. May peace be among us all 🌍🌎🌏
My heart goes out to the Bryant family such ay deverstaing time from Australia were thinking about you all in this tuff time
3:20 (espn. really?) It's called fade to black
exactly...
noone should die like that, noone at that early age, noone should lose his people like that. i dont like to see people dying, even if i dont liked them that much. it doesnt feel right and it feels like something was left unfinished worth being finished.
a few week ago 1 year old girl die hit by a car. QURAN is the answer.
I truly agree, I would have been ok if it was just natural causes but something tragic like a crash.. wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.
One of a kind. A great man
Kobe, Kobe, Kobe... Descanse em Paz 🙏🏻 Legend
