Same. There's 3 players who I feel like their deaths would devastate us on this level: MJ, LeBron, and Kobe. Kobe was that much of a global icon, he took the banner from MJ in the early '00s and ran with it, it's just such a tragedy.
It's just the way he died i know their was other people on the helicopter but watching basketball isn't gunna be the same anymore. & it sucks that kobe never had a son too.
as a GOD!!!!!! We need to build a huge statue of Koby, name a state after him, the planet, the universe, the stratosphere. Rename our planet, Kobe. Anyone catch the name of the others who were killed, oh wait, they didn't play basketball.
That was like his son, he saw him grow he saw him turned into a man a father an idol, everything, this is painful and this is the worst tragedy in sports history. Kobe is a type of iconic figure who was suppose to have like this godly aura this invincible force field that he wasnt going to die like this specially not with his daughter being there with him.
Suckmy Croch Agree with you 💯 Kobe was a god in SoCal. I lived in Orange County. Kobe made Newport Beach his home and lived the suburban life. This is beyond tragic.
For the Kobe Generation, this is the biggest tragedy we’ve experienced. A lot of us grew up with Kobe, the ups, downs..the championships, the greatness. The attitude, the mentality. The will. You will be sorely missed Kobe Bean Bryant.
fadethechannel amen ! Im hurting sooo bad my entire day knocked me to my knees literally ... so saddened for the other members and their families as well ... just one of the worst Sunday’s ever
Can only imagine the last moments with a father and his daughter... him with that mamba mentality telling her to look at him and not to be afraid. Holding her. We didn’t lose the basketball star...we lost a titan.
Thought he was going to grow old and get to see his HoF induction like all the other legends, everybody thought so. Nobody could have seen this coming.
When you lose a parent you become an orphan. When you lose your spouse you become a widow, but when you lose a child, there just isn’t a name for it because it is just too cruel.
@jake canebrake Jerry obviously wanted to share his insight on the man that was like a son to him. It's not about him, it's about all of us, as fans who were impacted by Kobe. It was more of a duty to remind everyone how special this person was, whom he treated and saw like his own family.
@jake canebrake He's not proving grief, he did this for Kobe. He wants words of affection and love to be the first thing that pops up when people look up the memory of Kobe Bean Bryant
Never thought I’d cry when a celebrity died. But this man changed my life with one simple act of kindness and I loved him ever since. The pain in Jerry’s eye.. I feel that... the world will weep today
I'm a spurs fan and I "hated" Kobe back in the day when I was younger...when he would get the better of The Spurs in many years.. He was LITERALLY unstoppable when he was on his game! I realize that in general,most of us as fans don't truly hate opposing players...,it's more of a "play/pretend hate" and within there deep down contains of a LOT of respect and even love. . I shed tears nearly instantly when I heard the news because suddenly all of those Legendary moments and battles with my San Antonio Spurs and Kobes Lakers flashed in my brain and it's there that I TRULY 1000% realized that I never really had even ONE ounce of real hate for that man...that Legend who had that the true " Heart of a Champion" that's rarely seen today.. Kobe Bean Bryant, thanks SO much for the memories, for the passion and for all of the EPIC battles you've blessed me to witness and behold.. Held many L's thanks to you man! 😂😂😂😂😂 Love you man.., I'll see you on the other side one day my friend! ✨ 💜☄💛☄💜☄💛☄💜✨
Squigie Ninja probably some 13 year old kid trying to be edgy for the sake of being edgy. It’s a tragedy that 9 people’s lives were taken, forget the fact that it was Kobe Bryant. We lost 9 people including 3 children, I pray you never have to experience the pain this can cause

@@JamesWalker-em4eo Same here man! But you know, I was really damned thinking about his death before Grammy's just like Whitney Houston, look they're the same race and was already known worldwide.

I am thinking somebody set him up.
Calvin Chu he basically was the reason Kobe went to La. and don’t forget Jerry West was the guy who used to go on the road w the Lakers, and he would go eat in the back of the kitchen w the black players. We need more Jerry west’s. America is based on diversity, we should judge more based on character vs color
What makes this so much more tragic is that his young talented daughter also died. An entire family and amazing future was shattered on that mountainside
I'm deaf. this video doesn't have closed caption. So, I have no idea what did jerry west said on the video at all. But man still it does broke my heart to see jerry west to having emotional moment... Just unbelievable.
Also he was also in the same position a long time ago. It was when the lakers whole team almost died and had to get emergency landing I think he can connect
This man has truly touched people from around the world. His smile, energy, love for the game, the love he showed to his team mates and the men that helped guide him in his accomplishments, the way he helped inspire kids that look up to him, loving husband and father, inspired and helped his daughter to be a good ball player etc, etc, He just seemed to radiate with such a positive energy. When he was excited and happy, he'd get that big beautiful smile. That's something you can never forget about him. It will forever be etched in people's memory.
That’s what makes it so utterly tragic for me. As a parent you long to protect and reassure your child and seeing death with that same child, i can’t even begin to understand that feeling.
Jerry West is like a dad to him.. or felt like one.. to see him this proud of him and mourn for him, so beautiful. I won't be surprised if they change the logo with Jerry West... to Kobe Bryant
@@xTheNameisEthan They probably wouldn't do it while Mr. West was alive. You know, Jerry West averaged 27 points a game for his career. There is a reason he is the logo.

God bless you brother, from Canada.
Yeah but jerry actually knew him that's basically his son since he drafted him at 18. I can see Jerry chest pumping that man just lost his kid. Us fan can't relate to his pain right now
Sebastian Martinez bruh you crazy I met Kobe at a camp. I have countless shoes, jerseys etc. Dude was my guy for what he represented which transcends basketball. He was all about hard work, growth, perseverance, devotion to family. If you can’t relate to that I don’t know what to tell you. That’s my Jordan and he’s gone at 41. He touched a lot of people it is what it is.
For all of us who remember Jerry West as a player and then GM it is an honor to hear him eulogize Kobe Bryant.May Jerry find some solace and may The Family of Kobe find some peace.
Kobe is my GOAT! I will remember all the countless arguments during those Celtics Lakers series. Used to stay up on a school night watching him ball out ❤️ #24
I appreciate so much how they didn't force the interview to go on. Mr. West was obviously in a lot of pain. I love that they could tell and decided to cut the interview short to allow Mr. West to grieve not on camera.
G.A.M.A ,,,,,,,,the pain from all the NBA players was,,,,,,,the fact,,,,,they knew kobe owned and flew his helicopter and it was a huge BAD idea ! ,,,,,,they all knew this could happen yet they never warned Kobe,,,,,,to NOT fly a helicopter ! ,,,,,,
Same here. Kobe was/is a part of our lives rather we hardcore fans or enemies from the other team. Anytime I can shed a tear for him over my own aunt & uncle's recent deaths is saying something.
Thy are sayin his funeral gon be the biggest dat ever happen i mean it gon b more bigger then aretha franklin funeral in micheal jackson put together dat the staple center wont even b able to hold all those folks thy gon need madsion square gaurden to have his funeral
Mr West is a real one 💯 Mr class act, beautiful words in the memory of a lost icon and legend. Truly one of the greatest to ever play the game!! Kobe-Gigi you will be missed! Mamba out...
Relax brother. They didnt suffer. It went down in the blink of an eye. Seeing that is the only good thing that came from people sharing that video. They went peacefully.
I keep saying I’m going to put my phone down and stop reading about this and watching videos of Kobe and GIGI and I just can’t. I cried so many times today. This is so heart breaking 💔😪
My heart goes out to Kobe's family and the families of all those that passed away in that tragic crash. It also goes out to Jerry West, the Laker family, etc... Jerry West is a class act.
My pillow was soaked in tears that same night. Went to bed depressed for the first time in 20 years. Jerry West's face did it for me......that this was no lie.
Literally been on youtube the whole evening watching the news about him. I didn't really understand when people cried at celebrity deaths. But my stomach sank when I heard about this. Still coming to terms with it. Absolutely devastated.
The father in me is hurting more than the fan in me.

I've never cried when a celebrity dies, I'm crying like a baby
I think it's the way he passed, as well as being with his kid which hurts the most...

Jerry West died today. From one Mountaineer to one of the greatest, we already miss you buddy. God Bless.
When he talked about his brother’s death in Korea, it is enough to realize that he considers Kobe as family, as a son!
as a GOD!!!!!! We need to build a huge statue of Koby, name a state after him, the planet, the universe, the stratosphere. Rename our planet, Kobe. Anyone catch the name of the others who were killed, oh wait, they didn't play basketball.
Ismail Abdukadir
I couldn't agree more.
Jess W I doubt that man. He spent soo many years grooming him and he himself was an amazing athlete in his days. He’s clearly hurt
@Jess W he just said his sun would drive Kobe every day to practice, who would do that if not for a son like person?
@Jess W It's possible he meant that losing Kobe is at hurtful as when he lost his brother in Korea!
Rest in peace Jerry and Kobe!
The hurt in his eyes... omg
That was like his son, he saw him grow he saw him turned into a man a father an idol, everything, this is painful and this is the worst tragedy in sports history. Kobe is a type of iconic figure who was suppose to have like this godly aura this invincible force field that he wasnt going to die like this specially not with his daughter being there with him.
This man is mourning 🥺😭
Jerry west bought him too the nba.

We love you kobe!!!😭😭
empathy knows we don't know but empathy knows were all hurting
Sebastian Martinez facts
Helicopters and small planes arent as safe as the huge planes. People who are very rich like Bryant often dont travel in large planes.
When you see an old man cry you know it hurts right to the core
It’s like Jerry was speaking as a father about losing a son. All of SoCal is in mourning over the loss of our King 👑 Kobe.
the whole world is Mourning brother, I am from New York and everyone here including my self is devastated
It hits further than southern California buddy

Again. And now i'm crying because
I'll never see you again.
The words makes me feeling sad😭
Normally when a celebrity dies I cry later down the road this one hit me instantly like a ton of bricks. This is draining and hard to cope with.
I agree I stopped crying but every time I go back to vision of him dying or the tragic news it hurts more
Same
Out of everyone, Jerry West was probably one of the most affected people by Kobe’s death. You can tell that he had been crying all day. Poor guy.
William Menendez shaq
Tracy mcgrady also
Breaks my heart seeing Jerry West like this
“For me, this is a god awful day “ I felt that 😰
Yeah man, that made me tear up right there. This whole situation is just so sad man :(
Me TOOOOOO💔
Yeah that was rough...raw emotion
Sebastian Laub it’s terrible bro
Javaris Walker I’m a firm believer angels don’t stay on earth long
Jerry said he doesn’t know if he’s gonna get over this.... he lost his son... poor Jerry. Jerry and Shaq’s interview- very emotional. I’m in tears..
For all of us who remember Jerry West as a player and then GM it is an honor to hear him eulogize Kobe Bryant.May Jerry find some solace and may The Family of Kobe find some peace.
The NBA needs to honor Kobe Bryant at the All Star game by having one team wear number 8 and the other team wear number 24
Comment thief
That would be beautiful!!!
Phillip Young Absolutely!!

Bille captains were #2 jersey to celebrate the life of his Daughter. She wore that number. The rest of the team can wear 8 and 24.
cried multiple times today. at 24 i grew up watching him. he was my idol. this is the saddest day of my life other than losing family
Jordan Cole took the words right out of my mouth. I’m 24 as well and he was the reason I played. I’m heartbroken
Kobe is my GOAT! I will remember all the countless arguments during those Celtics Lakers series. Used to stay up on a school night watching him ball out ❤️ #24
I appreciate so much how they didn't force the interview to go on. Mr. West was obviously in a lot of pain. I love that they could tell and decided to cut the interview short to allow Mr. West to grieve not on camera.
Now they're in heaven playing basketball together
This hurts him real bad because he’s the one who traded for him.
KING CHARLES he raised him on a family relationship level
Yup and refused to trade him away
All this time has passed and I still get choked up listening to West’s sincerity when talking about Kobe.
Breaks my heart as a father as a fan just everyone in that helicopter the kids 😢 R.I.P
I can’t even imagine what their family is going through right now. Losing a Daughter and a Father...
its inconceivable..
Exactly and the other family on board too they left behind 2 kids so sad
Wow! Rest in peace to ALL that died. I know Kobe was holding his daughter when this happened..
Imagine everyone screaming 😱
@@tangkhulgeneral1352 what?
@@doc8013 can you imagine everyone screaming when the helicopter was going down? What ...what ...what..idiot!
@@tangkhulgeneral1352 why would anyone?
@@TheFadedSpade35 exactly
You can feel the pain through the eyes. It's like he lost his own son. My Godness. I can't stop tearing up.
G.A.M.A ,,,,,,,,the pain from all the NBA players was,,,,,,,the fact,,,,,they knew kobe owned and flew his helicopter and it was a huge BAD idea ! ,,,,,,they all knew this could happen yet they never warned Kobe,,,,,,to NOT fly a helicopter ! ,,,,,,
It doesn't matter how many interviews I've watched it still doesn't seem real 😭😭 this is a different type of hurt that you really can't explain 😪😪😪😔😔😔
Same here. Kobe was/is a part of our lives rather we hardcore fans or enemies from the other team. Anytime I can shed a tear for him over my own aunt & uncle's recent deaths is saying something.
I'm still in denial. I dont want to believe it.
😢😢😢💔💔💔💔
Thy are sayin his funeral gon be the biggest dat ever happen i mean it gon b more bigger then aretha franklin funeral in micheal jackson put together dat the staple center wont even b able to hold all those folks thy gon need madsion square gaurden to have his funeral
He had such a great smile.
Hes with Kobe now
I can't believe I'm still crying since this morning..
This guys is not just my Idol or role model..
This guys is my..
HERO
😥😥😥
Kyle Caleb Gervacio same!
Worshipping false idols
Thank you Jerry for being a second father to Kobe. I'm sure Kobe is looking at you from heaven with a smile. Now he's your guardian angel.
Jerry has always been a legend but to see the way he expresses himself about kobe make him a great person and friend...respect to him
I cried like a baby. Can’t stop. Man, can’t believe this! Love you forever... a fan from China!
Be like Kobe’s life. A life that matters not only to his friends but to everyone!
it doesnt matter to me, but it may matter for some other people.
Fraist like a lot of other people
Fraist Almost everyone. But I think at some point it does because here you are watching a video about it.
Kobe sold his soul, was the cause of his and his daughters death
@@williammalapitan3801 nah i saw jerry west and death and i came rushing lol
Rest In Peace Mr West you & Kobe and playing together now in Heaven
This hurts I wish Vanessa the best god bless her and Kobe's family
Broke my sleep three times, finding myself in tears! Words can’t even explain Kobe! Can’t forget about his angel as well! Rest easy mamba! 🤧
You and me both man. I woke up multiple times last night
This is beyond heartbreaking. I love Jerry West too. He is a genuinely good man. He seems broken by this tragedy.
He's the reason Kobe was a Laker...💪🐍😢 R.I.P. Goat 8,24...
Mr West is a real one 💯 Mr class act, beautiful words in the memory of a lost icon and legend. Truly one of the greatest to ever play the game!! Kobe-Gigi you will be missed!
Mamba out...
OMG THE LOOK IN HIS EYES. JERRY DOESN'T EVEN USUALLY TALK. TO SEE THIS MAN BREAK DOWN LIKE THIS JUST HURTS MY HEART
Man I’m crying about him and his daughter and their last moments together 🤯 Thinking about it will haunt me forever...
get over yourself this isnt about you
@@Curiousnessify lmao 😂😂😂😂
Naw.....you will forget about it next week, watch! You'll be fine, son.
Relax brother. They didnt suffer. It went down in the blink of an eye. Seeing that is the only good thing that came from people sharing that video. They went peacefully.
coneyoster1275 I pray it was fast and painless!🙏🏽
What a special human being. He and he's daughter are now angels of God.
The same God who caused the crash?
pm don’t be stupid.
@@BVchair1 you're right, I wont be stupid, stupid enough to believe any God would allow any of this to happen
@@pj1995____ That's just life. It's flawed and fragile. Everyone will go at some point, regardless of how
@@pj1995____ Seek god and you'll understand why everything happens
In the afterlife Jerry just pulled out his Chuck Taylors and is telling Kobe to ball up rn with a big smile on his face.
I don’t think any sport has ever had an athlete like Kobe die at such a young age, tragic.
Lou Gehrig maybe.
Maybe just Ayrton Senna.
Munich disaster
Pat Tillman, not the athlete Kobe was, but he was special in his own way.
What about the whole Marshall football team in that plane crash
Man... Kobe was the reason I even ended up playing ball..

Never been more hurt by celebrity deaths until Kobe and Chadwick died. Still hurts today.
Being a fan, it's devastating to hear Kobe's demise.
Being a father, it's devastatingly crushing to see Jerry West emotional loss.
I keep saying I’m going to put my phone down and stop reading about this and watching videos of Kobe and GIGI and I just can’t. I cried so many times today. This is so heart breaking 💔😪
Jade Evonne me too . Can’t seem to shake the pain of it
Same for me..been 2 days but still in tears watching interviews about him
*And here i am CONSTANTLY strolling through comments in more and more pain as i read and listen*
How Jerry even did this interview is beyond me, he lost someone who is like a son to him. Feel so much for the guy.
My heart goes out to Kobe's family and the families of all those that passed away in that tragic crash. It also goes out to Jerry West, the Laker family, etc... Jerry West is a class act.
Nip & Kobe’s death the first time I’ve cried over someone I’ve never met. My favorite people passing away.
please stop bringing up Nip... that's a separate matter and he was no where the icon that Kobe was.
no further west he didn’t said Nip was on par with Kobe. He said it was their death that made HIM cry, whatever man just stfu
My pillow was soaked in tears that same night. Went to bed depressed for the first time in 20 years. Jerry West's face did it for me......that this was no lie.
Jerry West the greatest executive and team builder in NBA history and it’s not even close. The equal of Michael and Kobe as a competitor.
Literally been on youtube the whole evening watching the news about him. I didn't really understand when people cried at celebrity deaths. But my stomach sank when I heard about this. Still coming to terms with it. Absolutely devastated.
