- Michael Jordan pays tribute to Kobe Bryant and gives us an intimate look at their relationship at his memorial with a touching, heartbreaking, and beautiful speech.

The teacher lost his greatest student
MJ was not KB's teacher. KB was a self-motivator. He may have found inspiration from MJ and maybe even sought his advice. But it was never a teacher-student relationship.
@@huetuber1204 no need to point that out mate
saad zaman yes, it needed to be pointed out.
It's hot appropriate to make such an annoying argument with no sense...MJ was a guide to Kobe when he was young he found the right motivation on MJ...two incredible legends

We're not laughing anymore at the Crying Jordan Meme, Now, we're crying with you, MJ.
LOL!

Same . Doing it now

im crying right now
Damn though it was just me. RIP mamba

Man when MJ cries.... We all cry. RIP Kobe your truly a GOAT.
Michael Jordan is the Michael Jordan of delivering a speech. Damn.
I've never seen anyone talking so clear and articulated while crying hard.
Yh man even when he is crying he has swag. But it's natural swag. All him. He is just himself. From day 1. Dayum!!!!
He is The Complete Package
I love mj and I'm a jazz fan
true that, "no matter how you look at it".
Hearing MJ speak is the healing the NBA World needed
God bless bro
Birdsarepointless Gocats I agree!!! Agree100%
I needed that. The GOAT himself talking about the GOATcito. His speech was so comforting.
StableStables 1 I’m sure some ppl think that sounds dramatic.... but it’s true for NBA fans.
Yeah, but I don't think it was just what the NBA world needed, that was like for the world (during this critical time in history with virus politics etc). It was deep, eloquent, clever, and inspiring all in one.
The fact he didn’t even try to wipe his tears away cause he knew there would just be more . Respect to any man being able to talk through this type of pain
Hallo!!!! Mother Father of all creation are here in physical flesh!!!!! Our creators are showing the way!!! This is a SOS call to wake up and phone home today!!!!
Never heard a more balanced speech. It had seriousness and comedy in perfect balance. We are human.
MJ SOUND LIKE A HURT FATHER
He is....
Yes he did
Kobe was like his little brother
Age wise like a brother
But yes jordan was more of a father figure for Kobe
Yea I agree, he really loved Kobe
The crying meme reference lightened the mood and allowed people to smile in the midst of their pain. Even Vanessa laughed. Nicely done Michael, class act.
Absolutely
For yo. Gotta love MJ. RIP Kobe
When it mattered most...Most game-winners (last minute) of All-Time:

MJ doesn’t appear in public easily, any interview of his are rare let alone a speech and the only time he would let public cry after his retirement is the his hall of fame speech. So to give a speech and cry while all the camera on him, that tell you how much kobe means to MJ.
💯
He truely thought Kobe was his brother..
If you barley found that out then ur a idiot. They've been brothers for ever
Amen
Bat Man Why the rude comment for?
Michael Jordan may not know it, but he just comforted all of us with that speech. No-one else’s speech gave me peace like his did. Thanks MJ.
Yesssss u are right it was amazing 😍
So much peace
It's because u realize the GOAT is still alive talking about the legacy left behind the player right behind him. Plus the fact that he was actually a close friend and was handling it well. None of us actually knew him personally.
same . spot on brother
Kobe was so similar in ways to mj....it is comforting that we still have mike,he reminds me of kobe so much.
This is still one of the most heartfelt, powerful moments in the history of basketball
MJ up there crying for real, unlike most of these types of tributes, you can see the tears.
heart all heart!
Jordan joking about the memes people make about him crying made me like Jordan that much more .

This made me tear up 3 plus years later .. This tragedy was the topic of the last conversation I had with my dad... he passed a few days after Kobe on February 1st 2020.
Wasn't even expecting it..I was the one in the Hospital..
He was a big basketball fan of Lakers and Chicago Bulls & Seattle Supersonics when we had a team in Washington..
Rip to Kobe and Gigi and Rip ro my dad ..
May his soul rest in peace bro...✌️
Facts man. Kobe’s death hit like a family members - crazy i think of him almost every week now - 4 years after his death. His death also was the precursor to such a time of tumult and chaos back in 2020.

That was kobe as well! Kobe was able to bring everyone together especially during tough times! He would of helped a lot during these times
"Please rest in peace, little brother"
this line gave me tears honestly
Me too
So does the part where he says "i had a little brother and i did everything i could to help him"
Man his speech had me in tears, no disrespect to Vanessa Bryant but as much as she did a grand job of speaking out there, to hear that line from him and me having a younger brother, ill admit i had tears flowing down my cheeks because of that connection. Him and Shaq brought the house down to me and ik its not meant to be a competition but still, that was just wow

this speech transcends basketball, you can relate it to your life, great job Mike, thats why you the GOAT
It's still heartbreaking. When Jordan said "When Kobe Bryant died. A piece of me died" he meant that with everything he had.
@Ghost Face oooooooook. Lol. Clown.
@Ghost Face Nah, the fact you come on here after a year crying like a dummy is sad. You are the very definition of a clown. Lol.
U mean kobe was Jordan's horcrux
MJ’s brothers are both older so Kobe was probably the little brother he always wanted. Cut from the same cloth, kindred spirits.

We all miss Kobe. He was the GOAT. Nobody could stop him. He wasn’t just a great player, he was a great person. He was golden. In the words of mine, I’m alive and Kobe’s dead. He did nothing to deserve this. You may think I shouldn’t be watching this video because I’m 9, but Kobe’s just so great that I couldn’t stop watching this. I have cried every time I watch a video related to Kobes death.

Life is unpredictable like that!
Some insight and reflection there, One Buffalo 💗
Also just the pure emotion for someone. MJ was thought to be a sociopath by a lot of people but he was draining out of his eyes and nose talking about Kobe
Whole new respect for MJ- Never saw him open up before & love the share of his perspective on Kobe & how he influenced him to be a better parent & human. I cried with him 😢😭
I like how he mentioned his crying meme. Truly humor is one of the best remedies for tragedy.
What's crazy is no one even used that meme at all, massive respect for him
Im sorry but im such a lazt prick what is the timestamp
@@irham7 4:37
That is what humor is truly, people make it seem like humor is dark if dives into tragedy but that is the true meaning of it. I just came back here to watch this heartbreaking moment again
The public retired the meme completely after this, mad respect
I found a new respect for Michael Jordan, never saw this soft, human side of him. He truly loved and will miss Kobe. R.I.P. MAMBA! 🥰🙌🏾💛💜💛💜💛💜
It's Amazing how regular everyday humans will like or dislike celebrities as if they really know who or what they are really like. How would you really expect M.J. to react to a close friends death ?
If you don't know about it, go look up how he reacted when his father died. it's just so raw. Jordan may be flawed as a person, but he was a caring and loving person under it all
I said the exact same thing. What a guy.
@Patricia MJ has mellowed down a lot now. Oh boy if you'd only worked with him up close during his peak, you wouldn't be saying nice things about MJ if you left aside for a moment his basketball achievements.
Jiggy Thanos FACTS
Jordan. Such a class act. He will never be topped
It will be 3 years In February This Video still puts me in tears RIP KOBE
I like the fact that he let his tears run. Like a true soldier. No need to hide emotions when you loose your comrade. Let the tears flow.
Catherine Kiiru true but it be itchin lowkey when it runs all the way down 😭
And the fact that he referred to himself as another crying meme
Dude straight facts! MJ speaking from
The heart ❤️ and you could tell that Kobe kept Jordan legacy alive with the way Kobe played the game! He’s the best player/shooting guard since MJ retired
I’m not a basketball fan but I’m in tears..
Agreed…

You don't have to be a basketball fan. If you're a real human you will cry. . . .
@@achabibian5492 I'm a kobe fan but I havent cried, is that not normal? Or maybe its because hes a stranger to me just like millions of people who died from wars, accidents, starvation???
@@achabibian5492 I feel bad for him, his daughters and people affected but I cant cry for someone I havent met or even know my existence. Hopefully I'm a real human, lol.

He was another level of love.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
It doesn’t matter what he was. He’s a person and it’s just sad that he went that way along with the rest..
This still makes me emotional to this day, a great tribute that I can only simply because I have no better words than this, game recognizes game

For being the greatest ever, Jordan is extremely self-aware. His confidence doesn’t come across as cocky. Humble in his own way. That’s why he’ll always be the greatest.

He is the reason i played basketball everyday once i found him. Purple and gold heart. Thank you MJ
His aura is just absolutely amazing
Is it? What color is it?
Glows white and red
This is probably the most serious speech MJ ever had.
Michael, there are not enough words to describe the man that you are. All I can say is thanks, for sharing part of your life with us and giving all you give, even today. You’re an icon, a mentor, a man that millions of us lookup to and will always look up to. You are so special, I’m just glad God let me be here on earth at the same time you’re here, you’re amazing man, and Kobe could not have had a better big brother than you. You’re awesome, and I’m going because I feel the lump in my throat starting to come up and my eyes are tearing up. I skipped you video about half a dozen times because I didn’t want to cry, but, as usual, you win. I couldn’t not listen to you especially talking about Kobe. You’re in league of your own, sir, a force not to be taken lightly and I’m glad that God made you and I got to see and hear you, thanks, Michael Jordan, I love you, thanks for everything. 🎁😮🤹🏼⛹🏽♂️🏀

Shaq looks broken. Months later in the midst of corona, this still hits me hard. If it hits ME this hard, I can’t imagine what his family and teammates are still feeling. Sending love to everyone.
the fact that he lost his sister just before that. Absolute hell really.
In a moment like this it's very difficult to say a final word to a fallen and love ones.
Ditto.
After Kobe passed, Shaq likened their relationship to brothers.
Brothers fight. They go their separate ways. They know how to get under each other's skin like no one else.
But when they are gone, all that's left is the bond you shared, the memories you made, and the void they left behind. You miss them, and you'd do anything to bring them back.
This still hits me, RIP KOBE
I just watched a clip of Kobe, giving an interview today, TODAY. And, then this popped up. I’ve never seen this. What a share. I’ve been thinking about MJ a lot lately too. Coincidence?? Nah.

Of today. Back then the kept street language or court language to the court and put on the regular language to press conferences and public appearances.
You talk to a guy like Dan Marino or Peyton Manning and they sound straight up caveman like. 😂
He is a master marketer. That’s why he is the greatest. He is insanely talented on all fronts
He"s articulate and expresses himself well, his intelligence is one of his great attributes, it's not that amazing to me because basketball has many intelligent people compared with some other sports, Kobe was smart too, spoke another language etc.
Thank you for this most beautiful tribute Michael Jordan, to your friend/little brother Kobe Bryant. Nothing is more powerful than love, and this love in friendship is so beautiful to hear and see. Thank you for your heartfelt and uplifting words Michael, reminding us to live in the moment and love one another.
3 years and I still can't believe he is gone....rip to everyone who died on that tragic day
It's almost 3 years... I still can't believe Kobe is gone... life is so unfair.
Don't take it for granted. In life, Kobe never did. It's that unfairness that gives men like him the opportunity to be great.
We should seek the same in our own lives. It would be a disservice to his legacy, otherwise. Everything is relative. It just is, and we're in this life lucky enough to experience it.
Good luck, homie.

This is how The GOAT speaks!
Im not a person who feels emotional when it comes to interviews like this. But this one might be the only one who's genuinely made me shed a tear
could you imagine filling the shoes of your idol. then your idol sharing his innermost feelings at your memorial. FATHERS ALWAYS MATTER JUST LIKE MOTHERS
Aubrey, I'm wondering why'd you say the last part "fathers always matter just like mothers"?. I don't intend to say the opposite because I do agree with you in that part. But MJ said Kobe was like a little brother to him. Kobe, said in a talk show that MJ was like a big brother to him. With that being said, again, why'd you say the last part "fathers always matter just like mothers"?. Thank you.
Damn. Even Michael Jordan couldn't help his voice from hiding the immense sadness and pain he was holding in. I've heard many hurt people talk and MJ definitely sounds like he lost a son or brother.
They knew each other for 20+ years, and to lose someone you're close with for that long it hurts.
Every Once in a while i watch this..a great reminder on how to be a better person.
That speech is just wonderful. Kobe had a beautiful life. May he and his daughter rest in peace
It's really something else to hear MJ talk about passion, cause when he played, no one played harder. You can tell he is really talking from the heart, 100%.
Just another reason why I loved Kobe so much!
Only Kobe can have MJ at his memorial talking bout how much he loved him.
OK SHOWING RAW EMOTION SLANGING TEARS AND SNOT EVERYWHERE IN THE NAME OF KOBE
Not only Kobe but ok
2 years later.. still crying at this. Miss my hero, kobe! Mamba 4 life.
