I still have his jersey... I used to wear it at every training session (I used to play basketball in Italy). I would dream at night of him coming to our gym and being my friend. He is a legend and will never be forgotten. We love you Kobe.
@@vika0194 not fake he told this story before and Jimmy has a lot of stories considering he's the tonight show host and he's been famous since his SNL days just watch his story about the SNL 40th anniversary after party
@Maher Justice thats right. I always thought who is the next Michael Jordan. I never quite found the answer but I found a similar one. Now I was asking who will be the next Kobe. You answer my question.
Everyone is unique which makes it that much more interesting. If we were all the same then how fun would that be? I don't want another me, or KOBE, or MJ, Shaque, Magic, nor anyone else. I want to see another human that can do their own thing in their own way.
Watching this in hindsight, this kid had a moment no other kid will ever get. Memorable to begin with, but now just amazing. Kobe was great with him too.
Man, what a guy. I’ve got a 13 year old basketballing son who came home over the moon at the start of the season when he got no.24 in the senior team because it was his hero’s Kobe. He’s been muted for days it’s really hard trying to explain that life is short so take what’s good from it, be nice and just love those around you. To the GOAT Kobe, Gianna & the other 7 souls RIP.
Kobe is the only man in NBA who could say “ for crying out loud” and still sound cool. He was worldly, and educated and he was simply different from the rest...
J.R for the 40000000th time. That’s the number of comment that I had to correct saying that he’s not dead. th-cam.com/video/a9lfYzB30JU/w-d-xo.html. This link proves that he jumped out of the plane before it went to the ground
This kid came in asking all the appropriate questions without being overly excited to be in Kobe's presence. He's going to have a interesting story to tell his future kids about his encounter with the GOAT. Rest in Peace Kobe🙏💔
Thanks to The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon, Kobe and the entire crew! This was a great experience and I truly appreciate it. And, Coach Frank Martin is the best.
Just really shows how beautiful kobes soul is. He really was building a foundation of confidence and strength for this young man's dream career. What a gift kobe was and will continue to be.
faboze ... While I agree regarding the point about absent-minded parents (well done ;))... this boy is rather exceptional. Especially to show such poise and articulation on the Tonight Show... with cameras... in front of millions. And, imho his questions are more intriguing than a lot of other seasoned sports reporters. Instead of simply echoing the same ol same ol inquiries, he seems to dig deeper a bit and asks fun and compelling questions. He likely doesn't have the pressure of the next headline, though I suppose, so he probably enjoys more luxury in that department than other reporters. Cheers xo
Listening to Kobe talk and hearing his voice has become very therapeutic for me. He was at peace in his retirement: it’s obvious. The great thing about the time we live in is that media’s coverage ensures that there will be plenty of content to look back on when people pass-plenty of quotes and funny stories. Influential people are digitally scattered throughout the web.
Kobe is already my favorite basketball player of all time but him singing those Disney songs just elevated my love for this dude. Mamba mentality in basketball and singing #GOAT
17GIOVANILOPEZ I feel sad seeing your comment now that he is gone to eternity. This is a lovely glimpse of Kobe. I had never seen it before now. Blessings from California. 🏰🏀👑💝🎶
I've known people who knew Jimmy in L.A. before he was famous. His laugh is EXACTLY the same. All of them swear to it. IT is Not sure why so many people are always saying it's fake. I think he just more alive than all of you. Kobe, you were an amazing guy, rest in peace to you and your daughter and everyone on that helicopter.
🥺my dad and cooper were a great fan and my brothers birthday was the 26 of jan and Kobe died that day he was heart broken Kobe he has always looked up to and and my brother is heart broken
bro kids with potential and have things going for them should stay the fuck away from weed. its not worth the risk. the only reason u say that is because u prolly were a little bitch boy and the weed did wonders for u.
recipioct You are definitely not the brightest tool in the shed. With how common weed is, there is actually a chance this can happen. What you listed are things that are extremely unlikely. Damn your logic is so fucked, i feel a little bad for you
Swaggy Squid nah your the dumbass it’s more likely for him to become a alcoholic because of peer pressure and the fact that there are a lot more alcoholics than weed heads
That was GREAT! Imagine Max's elation at the time and looking back at this, and now the heartbreak that Max must feel today.🏀 Kobe really had a knack for making young people feel special. You can see it in Kobe's smile and his pats on the back, etc.. WHAT A CLASS ACT YOU WERE KOBE!!! RIP 🙏🦋
I would argue that Westbrook is the next Kobe because he takes over the game a lot and has the same mentality as Kobe and knows how to stay healthy or recover from injuries. They both take a lot of shot attempts that are often forced and shoot under 50%
Golden, golden moment. And you can tell how fond Kobe was of kids, especially the smart ones. Like he saw himself in them. It's beautiful. I shed a tear again this time but this time it's a happy tear. ❤️
It's hard not to like Kobe Bryant after this video. I've not always been a fan of his off-court choices... but the way he handled that kid was pretty darn cool. And, dang... that "kid" makes it easy. He's more articulate than many adults! What a bright future that young man has.
That was so raw and authentic. I have been a huge Kobe fan since he was drafted, which was helped by the fact that we were born the same month and year, but I have to admit that until recently, I wasn't paying much attention to his interviews and the like.
Allen L Ahh , you’re so right . And I feel so sad that the baby can’t even walk yet and lost her precious daddy . At least the tiny ones will bring joy and laughter to Vannesa and their sister Natalia. Hope I got her name correct . 👑🏀🏰💝🧸
Remember this EPIC interview! Kobe, truly you were a shining light then, and now! Rest In Peace! It's still difficult to comprehend that you're on a different level. Much love and Peace to everyone impacted by your loss, your baby girl, and all the beautiful families. Condolences!🙏🙏
I tried to watch this, but I couldn't. The moment I saw his face, I just started tearing up. Not even a sports fan, but I'm from L.A. -- this is a massive loss for all of us. My city is heartbroken.
Truly one brave & awesome kid that has the brightest future but to add to it what an awesome real sight of Kobe Bryant as ah person. We miss you dogg...One heart touch down 🙏🏽
Ahhhh. ..what a lovely video... I bet the young amazing lad , who interviewed kobe... will cherish that moment 4 life.... Frm liverpool uk to the USA. ..world wide ..love ..respect .an most of all , " prayers for all at this time till the end of time , so sad the loss of a great man and all who Lost there life... God bless all...x
imagine being this kid right now. that would hurt. god bless them all.
Hopefully theres someone around him that can give him a nice warm hug
Imagine being Kobe’s Kid 😭😭😭💔💔💔
That's what I was thinking especially when Kobe was rubbing the kids back
On Max's twitter he posted a video of Kobe talking about Gianna. He was Max's hero.
I was thinking of that too
No one will ever be Kobe Bryant ever. Rest in peace, man.
No one can ever be anyone. Hence why they’re aren’t clones of people and even then it’s not the same
Mike Jones Bro, just go shit in a hat. You know what I mean
@@mikejones1515 what do you mean???
@@mikejones1515 your such a prick
Guys, what he said was dumb but don’t team up on people over the internet.
The kid will never forget this interview. RIP MAMBA
Luis Villafan that’s for sure💔
He's gonna remeber this until the last day of his life
Oh yeah, they bought beer together when they were youngsterz
He went to my elementary and middle school. He was 3 years behind me
He seemed to not mind interacting with kids, being around them wanting to see them achieve, genuine human being
oooh my big sorry deep in my heart
Yeah he seemed to enjoy passing on knowledge of bball and life
Yea true lol
Kobe being a Girl Dad, singing Disney songs... whatta man! The last person you’d ever expect to lose in the world. Only the good die young.
Gabrielle Lont you just contradicted yourself lmao
I know and it sucks that they have to go so soon 😥
Horrible to think yet very true
Sadly it Is true that only the good die young meanwhile all these pedophiles and killers who deserve to die don’t
they love to sacrifice the good-hearted
Alot of kids lost their hero. Makes you think about life.
RIP to the GOAT
I still have his jersey... I used to wear it at every training session (I used to play basketball in Italy). I would dream at night of him coming to our gym and being my friend. He is a legend and will never be forgotten. We love you Kobe.
Yup. It made me realize that if kobe can go theres no greater power keeping me here. It makes you want to be great.
Youre right man. But Not only kids. Adults as well. Invluding me. Such a tragic accident... RIP Kobe Gianna and 7 others on board
True😭😭😭..... why did even Jan.26.2020 come?
The way Kobe and Jimmy are interacting, you can tell they were true friends.
Kobe said they go back to when they both like 18
W.B S. Yeah it was lol
Ramzes Empire kobe was 17 Jimmy was 21
@@ballon_hyf9777 thanks for the fact check lol
Y would kobe actually spend time off interviews with falon , it was just professionalism

His personality was something special. He made everyone around him feel special. R.I.P.
Omg what a guy soooo loving charismatic charming on on on on ♥️♥️♥️
“Who’s the next Kobe Bryant”? There will never be another Kobe Bryant.
True that my friend!!
@Maher Justice thats right. I always thought who is the next Michael Jordan. I never quite found the answer but I found a similar one. Now I was asking who will be the next Kobe. You answer my question.
can't replace some people ever
Jayson Tatum and Luka Doncic have the best chance imo
Everyone is unique which makes it that much more interesting. If we were all the same then how fun would that be? I don't want another me, or KOBE, or MJ, Shaque, Magic, nor anyone else. I want to see another human that can do their own thing in their own way.

He got to talk to him this past year at his home as well
This kid is ahead of his time, it’s like he has a 20-something-year-old’s mind when he asks questions.
RIP Kobe

meh the questions he asked were all basic except in the video
Ervin Fidelis Yes, bud the way he delivered them was very professional. He sounded like an adult professional interviewer.

Who Kobe?
He's like 38 years old?
He's like 40
Jay She's talking about the kid
tham pun I wouldn't exactly call someone who's 38 a young man.
Kobe is the only man in NBA who could say “ for crying out loud” and still sound cool. He was worldly, and educated and he was simply different from the rest...
"then the rest..." Imma leave that alone....
Different from the rest because he’s dead now
@B Babbich am I supposed to answer to you? I didn't get that memo...so I won't. 🤷🏾♀️

This child is lucky to meet Kobe Bryant it must’ve touched him about what happened yesterday
This kid will never forget that interview. PRICELESS. (He said he wasn't paid) but will be his most priceless. God Bless You

No ones the next Kobe Bryant. Period.
I would argue that Westbrook is the next Kobe because he takes over the game a lot and has the same mentality as Kobe and knows how to stay healthy or recover from injuries. They both take a lot of shot attempts that are often forced and shoot under 50%
BRBallin1 totally agree with you
BRBallin1 Westbrook can't make threes
Demolish Devon booker could be
closest player to Kobe is probably Kawhi or Westbrook
Max Bonnstetter has got to be devastated after hearing about Kobe today.
I am sure he has
Im sure he is. And he isnt alone
Its still hard too believe honestly. Accidents happen daily. But now too ppl of this statue. Thats whats so wild.
anyone else here after passing? rip
