Yess. He didn’t play like anybody but himself. He was the hardest working player ever, and he never gave up in anything. That jus shows that u don’t need any kind of height or vertical as long as u have determination.
Alright bois, it’s almost been a year since Kobe has died. Let’s make this a tradition to comeback to this video every January 26th so we can remember the emotion put on this video and the legend that was Kobe Bryant
Man, the summer of '96 I was in my lowest. At 23 I had to give up the sport I loved most of my life and played since I was 6 cause of multiple injuries to knees, ankles, shoulder and back. I didn't want to watch, talk or think basketball, I wanted to crawl in a hole and let be. When the season started, a friend tricked me to watch a Lakers game. I was PISSED at him but he wouldn't let me leave the room. At some point in the game Kobe comes in. With his first move I got reeled back into the game. There was something about this skiny kid that made you sit down and pay attention. In the coming years I went from hating basketball back to being fully in love with it. And it was all because of Kobe. In my life I lost both my parents and my brother but the loss of Kobe somehow was the one that hurt the most. Rest in Peace Kobe and Gigi, and when the time comes I hope we can play a pickup game up in the great court in the sky.
"Believe in yourself, because no one is going to do it for you" - Kobe Bryant. RIP 24, Rest easy king. EDIT: Damn 740? Thank you a lot for the support lately, i just wanted to get that message out.
After all this time, I still think back to when I heard the news, and I instantly weep. I am not a person that cries, but I cried the day we lost Kobe.
Bro, I was driving when I heard it on the news. I was absolutely in shock. I pulled into a parking lot and just lost it. I'm 37 and was in middle school in '96 when Kobe was a rookie, and he was my idol. The way he was taken with Gigi destroys me to this day, especially now that I have an 18 m/o boy. Absolute tragedy. There will never be another one like Kobe.
@@justinkingery2489 Same, i was just chilling at home and out of nowhere i hear Kobe's name on the news, then i check it out to see what's that about and *BOOM* I was completely shocked. So unexpected.
One of my favorite Kobe stories is from one of the girls basketball coaches from my high school. He was invited to a basketball camp his senior year of high school that Kobe also attended. At the beginning of the camp, everyone was going around doing icebreakers, including things like their name, favorite player, hometown, etc. One of these icebreakers was name one weakness in your game. Well when it came turn for Kobe to say his state his one weakness, he said "I don't have any." Legend. Rip Mamba.
@Dylan Foerster Come one, everyone has something they need to work even though he may be really good in every single thing but just a little bit better in one thing then another meaning he needs to work on it. Besides now that I think about it he was probably joking around. (Kobe when he said that)
VictoryVish MasterBlader if you pay attention to the mindsets of the greatest players in sports, they all think they are the best. The reason players like Kobe were so good is because they genuinely believe they are better than everyone around them. He doesn’t think there’s anything he can’t do
My dad cried for the first time that I’ve seen in my life when he heard Kobe passed. My dad introduced basketball via Kobe, the first game I watched with him was with Kobe. My dads still here, just Kobe was a big part of my life
@@MultiFlo99 indeed bro. Just given the fact that we lived in an era where he dominated for years is just a blessing. RIP Mamba and Mambacita. All love
Same for me but when I see his daughter. Kobe was amazing and got to leave his mark, but his daughter didnt get her chance. When I see her and him together that shit kills
Hate how people act like they know kobe and are all sad that he’s gone but in truth DONT know anything about his life besides some highlight plays and championships.
It truly breaks my heart that a man can give every fiber of his being to basketball and then LITERALLY DIE. A truly incredible video for an incredible human being.
I thought enough time had passed for this to not affect me, yet here I am sitting at my desk with tears in my eyes. Truth is, there is no amount of time that could make the loss of Kobe Bean Bryant hurt any less. Kobe, you will forever be my GOAT. Beautiful video.
Honestly I feel like Kobe will always be underrated. He was a victim of his era. He based his game on the greats that came before him. Greats that built their game to capitalize on the illegal defense rule. Game that was all about the iso. Then right before he starts to enter his prime, they change the rules making it easier to double team. It took the league 10-15 years to figure out how to use pick and rolls and spacing to improve efficiency. By that time Kobe was on his way out. His numbers don’t reflect how dominant he was, because that style of play wasn’t that efficient against the modern defenses.
It doesn't matter about the number of rings or stats personally. We all remember him because he was just electrifying, legendary and epic. He was a walking highlight reel, every dribble move, every shot, every fadeaway, pump fake, jab step he gave us, was a joy to watch. That is how his greatness I defined. also I like his style of play more, I love the classic shooting guard, that was something special
2k GoDsZ to be honest, I’m a soccer guy...been that my whole life, and jxmy is probably the only TH-camr I look up when I need detailed, well organized, numbered facts about the ball life...and When I heard the news, first thing I audibly said after “oh shit” was “...I can’t wait to see how proper Jxmy will send him off”...so we support you My guy...always will brother.thank you for again for doing this
Brother, you’ve got some serious skills. Gave me chills for 16 mins straight. I second the idea of updating the logo to honor the Mamba. Someone out there is a genius for that call. This tribute did well to highlight the most underrated aspect of his game- the heart, will-power and determination that made a great player, transcend to a legendary one. May all those who lost their lives too soon in this tragedy, Rest In Peace.
He doesn't deserve to be on it just because he died. If yall weren't asking for it before his death, having him die is no reason to put him in the logo.
@@maxsponheimer942 OK. And who are you? You make it sound like you're some NBA big wig lol. Who cares what you want? We all want something different. So, what makes you so special? "I want generations down the line...." 🤣 ok. Because he's on the logo? Lmfao. Sure dude. 10 yrs after they did it, nobody would even know who the person on the logo was 😆
Indeed. I wanted to see this so bad. I couldn't think of a better way to truly appreciate KB right now; I knew Jxmy would do him justice, that it would be a labor of love.
Christos Belibasakis nah he knows how much money he gonna make off this vid . You shouldn’t make tons of money because somebody or multiple people died. You got people out hear that as soon as they heard that Kobe died in less then a minute we’re thinking about how much money they were gonna make out of putting him in the title
Boi this one hit me hard....I was sick to my stomach when I heard about his passing this Sunday. Then when I first heard of it being true I became devastated and my immediate reaction after hearing the news I immediately hoped his daughter, his literal future, wasn't on there then the worst I feared happened when I heard the fate about her. That day continued to get worst when the 7 others on that plane died as well. People that day lost friends, family, people they looked forward to seeing that day but an unfortunate tragedy fell on everyone that day. I can't imagine what the families are going through to cope with this, but I pray that they get through this rough time. Everyone stay blessed you never know when that time for you to go will come. Love you all.
Goodbye to my favourite of all time. From when my cousin introduced me to Kobe in 2k16 blacktop I was 100% hooked on finding out everything there was to know about the mamba, from the three-peat with shaq, to 62 in three quarters, to 81 points, to two more championships with pau gasol. When I found out about his death I just kinda sat there on my bed. I went to play 2k and saw the message on there and to this day it crosses my mind every now and then that this legend ain’t on this planet anymore. Rip to mamba and gigi.
Kobe's game was so beautiful to watch... art in motion, like a graceful venomous dance so intricate and precise. He was the NBA's Michelangelo.... with venom. RIP Mamba and Mambacita
nate means Kobe and AI were my favorite to watch I root for Lebron now because I’m a diehard Lakers fan but watching him is not as fun. and I can’t stand watching Harden. just wanted to throw that out there haha
RIP KOBE, you inspired me and many others to go after your dreams. You made me push work even harder at my craft. I am working to make the nba and Kobe has inspired me every time. I here the stories and they inspire more. KOBE thank you for making me a better me. GOD BLESS
I started hooping since the age of 8, the first time I saw Kobe was when my Dad show us some clips on how Kobe and Jordan have the same kind of skills, then he bought Nba live 08 I always play as a Lakers because why not? and after that I want to hoop, I don't have the passion to work hard and improve myself because for me basketball is just hobby but when Kobe got injured against the Warrios on playoffs I saw him standing on his feet shooting two feet throws, that give the boost that I need, I've been practicing and playing for almost my whole life. I know I didn't improve so much, I didn't become the player I wanted to be, I didn't grew a 6 ft tall, I don't even have the hops to dunk, I didn't even got on a Varsity team, and a lot of guys outplayed me, even my 16 yearold brother outplayed me (I'm 18 so that's a big deal for me). But still I love playing basketball Kobe taught me so much not just on the basketball court. Its really hard to accept that he's gone. Still I love Kobe. I love basketball. Stay safe yall. Been a fan of you @JxmmyHighroller for 2 years. I always watch your latest uploads. Thank you for thiz Video I know that this won't heal our heart, but this what we really need to see right now. Thank you and Godbless 💜💛
as a Laker and Kobe fan my whole life I’ve always said to myself and others, Kobe is the best to ever play in the NBA and I’ve always stuck by my world and always will. rest in paradise Kobe and Gianna 🐍
I'm a Lakers fan too, but I'm not gonna be biased and say Kobe is better than MJ. It's close, very close. But MJ is still GOAT. Kobe is the closest to him. None of that LeBron nonsense.
Kobe died on my birthday so when I heard the news I just didn’t know what to feel good that it was my birthday or horrible about his death I felt horrible
I'm a suns fan, so Kobe was never one of my favorite players, but you have got to respect him for all he has done, all of his clutch moments, and his longevity. Sad to see him gone. #RIPKOBEANDGIGI
IKJGI Hella sad, growing up I wasn’t really brought up in basketball but in the past 3-4 years I’ve gotten into it and even tho I never watched a match of him I still feel like I lost him. Sick dbook profile picture tho Gotta stay positive
I'm in tears. THANK YOU Jxmy for the best, most heartfelt, and most accurate tribute to Kobe I have seen yet!! It was the mentality he displayed that will be his most lasting legacy, and it is why he is the GOAT when it comes to living your best life as the best version of yourself. He has shown us all the way and given us the example. For that we are all in his debt.
@@evanliddy3352 Ik, this is a Kobe video and video about HIM and his life as a living legend, but u can't deny Timmy's dominance in the 2000s. And, Steph had 5 finals appearance in the 2010s.
after all this time i still cant watch this video without crying. What a great tribute for Kobe this is. Thank you so much Jimmy for this video. Hope you and Gigi are resting easy Kobe. We miss you.
Each video of Kobe that i watch still to this very day makes me cry. I cant belive how lucky we've been to witness such a great being. Kobe, we love you.
Kobe will always be my number 1 player, every time I see a article with his name in it my heart skips a beat it saddens me. He and his daughter will forever be missed‼️😇😇😇😇. They were exceptional people‼️😇😇😇😇
I’m in the military and Kobe is my favorite player of all time and he taught me if you want something in life you gotta work for it and that’s why he’ll always be the Goat in my eyes god rest his soul 🙏🏿💯
6:22 The moment I saw Kobe do that he became a legend for me in every aspect of the term, as a player and more importantly as an inspiration. Pure and unwavering mentality
Hope y’all enjoy. Put my whole heart into this one. Long Live Mamba. The one and only, Kobe Bryant 🐍
May he be remembered #Rememberthemamba

He wasn’t the best but yet he is dead so I got to put a little respect R.I.P mamba 😔✊🏽
He did emulate MJs game by learning from him and asking him questions, which made him so great, his will to become greater
Joshua Fajardo Sorry but he is the 2nd coming of MJ, just not half as good

“I wasn’t sure if I should make this video”
Bro I think we were all waiting for you to make this video lol
RIP Kobe 😔
I was
I was too mate RIP Kobe!!
Indeed. I wanted to see this so bad. I couldn't think of a better way to truly appreciate KB right now; I knew Jxmy would do him justice, that it would be a labor of love.
Same
I've been putting off watching this because I know it's gonna get me...
A beautiful tribute to a legend. RIP Mamba.
R.I.P Kobe, Gigi, and the 7 other passengers 💛💜
Jimmy a real one for making a tribute to the other goat 💯
Christos Belibasakis nah he knows how much money he gonna make off this vid . You shouldn’t make tons of money because somebody or multiple people died. You got people out hear that as soon as they heard that Kobe died in less then a minute we’re thinking about how much money they were gonna make out of putting him in the title
@@MichaelPeters2004 true
Tuff Coverage he put ads in the middle of the video OSN said we gotta call them out
MrBlueD3V1L still put ads I don’t care
MrBlueD3V1L if he put one in the end cool
R.I.P To Kobe,Gigi and everyone that was on the helicopter and I pray for their family and so sorry for what they are going thru
Its been a little bit over 2 years. Kobe is something and should never be forgotten thank you for everything jimmy!
Man imagine if only he didn't pass away so young, we couldve seen more amazing things off the court.
God bless his family, my condolences.
Like more rape

As a Celtics fan, I never thought Kobe could ever break my heart again.... RIP Black Mamba 🙏🙏💔💔
Kobe is still alive in everyone that loves him, never stop yelling kobe.
In words of Fredo.... B?TCH IM KOOOOBBEEEEEEE

Rip Kobe. Thank you for the inspiration and the motivation you put in my life.
“He gave every fiber of his Being to this game.” 💯
You asked for my hustle I gave you my heart
“Theres heroes and there’s legends, heroes get remembered but legends NEVER DIE”.
Boi this one hit me hard....I was sick to my stomach when I heard about his passing this Sunday. Then when I first heard of it being true I became devastated and my immediate reaction after hearing the news I immediately hoped his daughter, his literal future, wasn't on there then the worst I feared happened when I heard the fate about her. That day continued to get worst when the 7 others on that plane died as well. People that day lost friends, family, people they looked forward to seeing that day but an unfortunate tragedy fell on everyone that day. I can't imagine what the families are going through to cope with this, but I pray that they get through this rough time. Everyone stay blessed you never know when that time for you to go will come. Love you all.
Well said fam... We're going to miss the black Mamba....
you have 24 likes, i am not going to like just so that you can keep that number
Noam Nasser hes almost at 81 so we can stop there
Goodbye to my favourite of all time. From when my cousin introduced me to Kobe in 2k16 blacktop I was 100% hooked on finding out everything there was to know about the mamba, from the three-peat with shaq, to 62 in three quarters, to 81 points, to two more championships with pau gasol. When I found out about his death I just kinda sat there on my bed. I went to play 2k and saw the message on there and to this day it crosses my mind every now and then that this legend ain’t on this planet anymore. Rip to mamba and gigi.
Kobe sucks
Jk
@@aadhikasi523 he could definitely ball you up lol

“Hero’s come and go, but legends never die.” Thank you Kobe for what you have done and the impact you had on this earth
Heroes
I ain’t even watch this yet and I already know it’s a banger 🔥🔥🔥
Kobe Bryant is the first person that introduce NBA to me. He always be a Legend.
R.I.P. Black Mamba and his daughter, Gianna. 💛💜
Kobe's game was so beautiful to watch... art in motion, like a graceful venomous dance so intricate and precise. He was the NBA's Michelangelo.... with venom.
RIP Mamba and Mambacita
nate means Kobe and AI were my favorite to watch
I root for Lebron now because I’m a diehard Lakers fan but watching him is not as fun.
and I can’t stand watching Harden. just wanted to throw that out there haha
R.I.P. to a legend who was gone to soon 😢 He was an inspirational, a great basketball player, and most of all a respected legend.
RIP KOBE, you inspired me and many others to go after your dreams. You made me push work even harder at my craft. I am working to make the nba and Kobe has inspired me every time. I here the stories and they inspire more. KOBE thank you for making me a better me.
GOD BLESS
Goated on the Sticks
hope he wasn’t your only inspiration !
Good luck fam
I loved watching Kobe. Fro Kobe was best Kobe. R.I.P.
I started hooping since the age of 8, the first time I saw Kobe was when my Dad show us some clips on how Kobe and Jordan have the same kind of skills, then he bought Nba live 08 I always play as a Lakers because why not? and after that I want to hoop, I don't have the passion to work hard and improve myself because for me basketball is just hobby but when Kobe got injured against the Warrios on playoffs I saw him standing on his feet shooting two feet throws, that give the boost that I need, I've been practicing and playing for almost my whole life. I know I didn't improve so much, I didn't become the player I wanted to be, I didn't grew a 6 ft tall, I don't even have the hops to dunk, I didn't even got on a Varsity team, and a lot of guys outplayed me, even my 16 yearold brother outplayed me (I'm 18 so that's a big deal for me). But still I love playing basketball Kobe taught me so much not just on the basketball court. Its really hard to accept that he's gone. Still I love Kobe. I love basketball. Stay safe yall. Been a fan of you @JxmmyHighroller for 2 years. I always watch your latest uploads. Thank you for thiz Video I know that this won't heal our heart, but this what we really need to see right now. Thank you and Godbless 💜💛
that was heat warming
😪👏
Really hit home there, bro.
😐
Yayon well said
as a Laker and Kobe fan my whole life I’ve always said to myself and others, Kobe is the best to ever play in the NBA and I’ve always stuck by my world and always will. rest in paradise Kobe and Gianna 🐍
Yes 💯 💯
I'm a Lakers fan too, but I'm not gonna be biased and say Kobe is better than MJ. It's close, very close. But MJ is still GOAT. Kobe is the closest to him. None of that LeBron nonsense.
I still try to convince people that Kobe is the best player to ever play the game of basketball
@@ΚωνσταντίνοςΣπαθ not the best but closest
Im sorry but he aint the best. Mj is
Kobe died on my birthday so when I heard the news I just didn’t know what to feel good that it was my birthday or horrible about his death
I felt horrible
Wow
...
Same story bro...maybe it should remind us to be the best version of ourselves every single moment. Mamba mentality
Angel Armas he played his last game on my birthday which made his death even more painful
Damn that's terrible
that might just be one of the best tributes i have ever seen. RIP Kobe
I'm a suns fan, so Kobe was never one of my favorite players, but you have got to respect him for all he has done, all of his clutch moments, and his longevity. Sad to see him gone.
#RIPKOBEANDGIGI
IKJGI Hella sad, growing up I wasn’t really brought up in basketball but in the past 3-4 years I’ve gotten into it and even tho I never watched a match of him I still feel like I lost him.
Sick dbook profile picture tho
Gotta stay positive
@@nartworks557 ✊
IKJGI if even tho u win down 3-1 to him I feel like he beat ur ass he actually gave up and start being a point guard which was trash
I'm in tears. THANK YOU Jxmy for the best, most heartfelt, and most accurate tribute to Kobe I have seen yet!! It was the mentality he displayed that will be his most lasting legacy, and it is why he is the GOAT when it comes to living your best life as the best version of yourself. He has shown us all the way and given us the example. For that we are all in his debt.

I remember playing 2k17, and seeing Kobe. He said "Welcome to NBA's 2k17 MyCareer mode, enjoy!" 😭
💔💔this is the biggest sports tragedy every, Kobe is truly missed
Not Chapecoense or another crash that has more fatalities?
@@rusx7866 don't compare tragedy rip Kobe tho
Rusx why did you feel the need to add that? I thought about it, but then I realized it added nothing but negativity
Rusx no, more people were connected to Kobe Bryant and looked to him as a role model than they did Chapecoense even tho that’s still horrible
80's - EMJ32 and LB33
90's - MJ23

Master what’s wrong with u 😭 this is how u see the nba???
@@evanliddy3352 Ik, this is a Kobe video and video about HIM and his life as a living legend, but u can't deny Timmy's dominance in the 2000s. And, Steph had 5 finals appearance in the 2010s.
@@kelvindahri2981 Yeah
after all this time i still cant watch this video without crying. What a great tribute for Kobe this is. Thank you so much Jimmy for this video. Hope you and Gigi are resting easy Kobe. We miss you.
I'm watching this with tears in my eyes..
Dont be sad Kobe's gone be happy he lived. someone never "TRULY" dies unless there forgotten rest in peace mamba and gigi 😭😭😭
Each video of Kobe that i watch still to this very day makes me cry. I cant belive how lucky we've been to witness such a great being. Kobe, we love you.

"Love the hate." - my favorite all time quote from the absolute madlad that is Kobe Bean Bryant.
“Mamba out”

Kobe will always be my number 1 player, every time I see a article with his name in it my heart skips a beat it saddens me. He and his daughter will forever be missed‼️😇😇😇😇. They were exceptional people‼️😇😇😇😇
Rest In Peace to him and his daughter 🥺
"Remember kid, there's heroes and there's legends. Heroes get remembered but legends never die."
Thanks, Jxmy for making me feel better because I have been moping around ever since Kobe died, thanks Jxmy.
I’m in the military and Kobe is my favorite player of all time and he taught me if you want something in life you gotta work for it and that’s why he’ll always be the Goat in my eyes god rest his soul 🙏🏿💯

The logo suggestion is amazing . It definitely is THE way to immortalise THE MAMBA 😢😢
The NBA already responded to this. There are no plans of changing the logo.
@@FARecordsJF Well, then maybe they should make some... I find the idea of the logo absolutely brilliant.
6:22 The moment I saw Kobe do that he became a legend for me in every aspect of the term, as a player and more importantly as an inspiration. Pure and unwavering mentality
The funniest thing is that Kobe didn’t have a prime he was just Kobe 😂😫😢😭🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍
