Jerry West and Shaq are still not ready, still grieving, in deep pain, disbelief. Shows the depth of their relationships with Kobe Their hearts are broken
What? It's been not even two days of course they are grieving and will be for quite a while and it will never leave them. I am more concerned about the parents.....of Kobe, his wife and the other parents that lost a child. Losing a child is the hardest thing to ever go through and it never leaves you and you never get over it.
relivec - They haven't even been able to fully process any of this yet and they will never be the same again. As Eagleye17 18 says - Losing a child is the worst kind of pain. My friend's mom died by suicide a few years after losing her son. I never fully understood the depth of her pain and heartache until just before she passed but she kept a lot of her suffering in silence and isolation. I pray for Vanessa, Kobe's parents and the rest of the family and friends. 24 forever.....
Kobe has stated many times that Jerry West was his mentor. Yes he patterned his game off of MJ but it was Jerry West who mentored him as an NBA Player.

I’m quite concerned for Jerry’s health. He’s an elder gentleman and it isn’t good for him to experience such emotional sadness. Stay strong Jerry and feel better.
The ending where he says he doesn’t know if he can get over it breaks my heart. It’s probably better that they can all share memories together because this is destroying them all.
That last sentence, I really hope that Jerry isn't so stricken with grief that he becomes sick. He loved Kobe like a son. Jerry West's reaction along with Shaq and TMac's make me tear up every time I watch it.
Thats exactly what i was thinking.. Jerry, shaq and tracy.. They are not good man.. Especially Jerry.. He is old and it could be dangerous for his health.. Even Shaq looks bad.. Such a tragedy.. But now it strucks me.. If these 3 gentleman feel like this, how in the world his wife and kids feel? His parents?? Omg.. Why did they fly in such terrible weather that day? Why? May all of them find strength to move on.. Its so devastating
Jon bones Mahomes yea I can’t imagine what his wife is feeling, my God I know that’s a different type of hurt. No human should have to deal with that type of pain. Burying your husband and child on the same day?? Thats a lot man....
@@83039799 oh yes.. I mean, in my life i never experienced that luckily and i cannot say i know the feeling, i cannot say i understand the feeling cos i dont.. But man, i has to hurt like nothing on earth.. I grew up with Michael and then with Kobe.. One thing that bothers me is.. Kobe got it done.. He did everything he wanted in his career, he came close to MJ, he did literally everything.. And you could see his happiness when he was with his daughters. Thats what bothers me every moment when i think about it.. His future with those kids.. Je was just getting started man.. This is awful.. He will never be able to see his kids growing.. Never again.. And this thought is haunting me.. I simply dont want to accept it
Jerry West looks so devastated. I saw him in an interview yesterday and he looked just as saddened as he does today. You can tell he really looked at Kobe like a son.
Rico Lucas: Actually he looks much worse in this interview. The media needs to back off ,and give him the space and time he needs to get over Kobe's passing. Mr Ballmer should give him the rest of the year off ,until he can come to accept what has happened. A few more interviews like this could be the end for Mr. West.
broken heart syndrome is a real thing, I pray jerry west’s heart doesn’t break because of the loss of his son. Kobe was Jerry’s son & you can tell he is tremendously devastated. My prayers to you jerry. ❤️
Its true i lost a Uncle in February 2016 n two weeks later my grand uncle passed away They were with each other in the hospital when my uncle was young and now they are resting with each other in the same spot Rest up uncle Courtney and Uncle Victor & all the passengers and pilot of the helicopter crash
The Lakers organization are so lucky to have had both Jerry West and Kobe Bryant. Two of the realest people in the game. Professionalism personified in two people.
Joe M so true. Grief can really break your heart to the point that you die. It is true ‘ died of a broken heart’. Happens a lot in older people that have been married for many decades. One goes and very soon afterwards the other goes. Shaq and Jerry need to see grief counselors asap. JMO.
Man, being a Celtic fan this is just still feels unreal to lose Kobe Bryant like that, it just feels like a lie, an illusion, a dream. Growing up watching Kobe and LA/Boston rivalry this just hurts to lose the villain we loved to hate. Kobe, we love you, keep winning in heaven.
I'm a Celtics fan as well. Those were the days when we played the Lakers in the playoff. My heart is heavy for the Lakers and the farmer Lakers players, Kobe's Mother, sisters, Children and wife. I lost my husband 9 years ago from a car accident. The pain never goes away. Lord please comfort them all amen.
@ temeti to. I agree with you whole heartily the rivalries was so fun and Kobe was our guy we loved to hate, he did us in so many teams but we wouldn't have wanted any other way. Fly high Mamba and his angel Mambacita along with the seven other passengers who perished on that fateful day
@zephaniah constantine...it is winter after all, snow bunnies galore, i hope kobe is with u n that shot goes in @eduardo alvarado, i kno when i shoot my shots they r usually pretty messy, n not lionel style lol
The more interviews I see of Jerry West and the deals he's made to win championships for various teams, more I understand why he is the logo. He is basketball and professionalism personified
He doesn't feel like they made proper amends. A lot of wasted time beefing, now Kobe is gone and Shaq thought they would have years and years to make up for lost time.
@@chillekojhurst2169 they apologized and made up, probably just regretting all those years they wasted fighting over petty stuff. They definitely made amends though.
May our dear Lord Jesus comfort you, stand by your side, heal your broken hearts. I'm so, so sorry for the Bryant family and the Laker family. My heart and prayers go to you all. God bless and keep you.
Every night I watch testimony about Kobe, I end up in tears 😢. It's inevitable. When my family came from India in the 90's, the first thing I learned about American sports was Basketball, and everyone in school was talking about Kobe. I wanted to see for myself that weekend what he played like, and ever since that day I got hooked to the game. If it wasn't for him, I'd have never watched NBA games.
No doubt in my mind that Jerry truly loved this man way beyond the court. Seeing this alone makes me want to get back home and chill with my father and brothers more. Everyone is saying it, but we truly never know when it'll be too late to try and reach out to someone so don't hesitate.
That's not true. That will defeat kobes legacy. He died being with his family. Kobes legacy is to be the best that you can be, work your socks off and deserve your position. We're all gonna die, lool at the impact this guy had had alive and now dead. He's a legend , a real legend. Work hard , not just be with family. Be like kobe
Jerry West truly loved Kobe like a son, he is truly devastated by his loss. This is just so painful to watch him grieve like this. Prayers going up for the Bryant's, the families of those lost.
To me, right here, this is why Jerry West is the Logo and should continue to be so. If you want to someone who has won at every level, player, coach, GM, this is the guy. Jerry West represents the best of the Association. This is what men should aspire be like, and I firmly believe Kobe would agree. My heart breaks for this man.
I can remember vividly when Kobe was thinking about leaving the Lakers for the Clippers. Being a long time Clippers fan, I am honestly glad he actually stayed with the Lakers instead because I realize now that he was brought to this earth to be only one thing and that is a Los Angeles Laker!!!!!! God Speed!!!! May you, your beautiful daughter and the all of the people involved in the accident rest in peace!
4th interview I've seen with Jerry since Kobe passed. He has been crying each time. My heart breaks for him and everyone else that knew and loved Kobe.
I cant imagine what the people who loved Kobe all going through. A legend on and off the court. Hearing these grown gentlemen break down like this, it just shows the importance Kobe had on them and everyone he met. What a tragedy and we will never forget the Black Mamba. May you and everyone lost Rest in Peace.
I’ve seen a few folks talk about there relationship with Kobe. But nothing moves me more to watch Jerry. He’s such a sincere heart filled genuine guy. Wow it’s hard for me to watch him. It hurts more.
"What does it say about the social fabric of America that someone would give a "thumbs down," to someone who is given condolences to a fallen deceased legend?"
I honestly have to believe its some kind of misclick. If not we can rest assured those who knowingly did thumb down are some of the most vile scum like people in society.
WOW, this is powerful stuff, you really get a sense of just how much people loved kobe and how great of a person he truly was. RIP Kobe, we'll all remember you forever.
Mr. West, you are back with your brother and your adoptive son, Kobe. May you be at peace, and thank you for making the game of basketball better. My next bucket will be dedicated to you sir ❤
Since Kobe passed away not only you should cry for him for not being here anymore but also be happy that he impact your life and he was here when we all needed him the most also giving us good memories of how good of a person Kobe was, now that he passed away he is in a better place than this cruel world RIP Kobe we’ll miss you
Always knew of Jerry West and knew he was one of the greats. Hearing him, his relationship with Kobe and how he lost a brother in Korea almost broke me in half.
I've never witnessed a loss that has moved so many men, who were teammates, coaches, friends moved to such emotion, to tears. Quite a testimony to the kind of person he was.
The only relationship comparable to that would be the Celtics Bill Russell and Red Auerbach. When Red died, Bill couldn’t even talk about it and left a void the rest of his life.
Jerry west knows a scrub when he sees one, thank you sir for drafting greatness, a lot of people wouldn’t have taken that gamble on a 17 yr old kid, only Jerry West
Jerry west sir , I never saw you play , I knew of your legend as an executive but now I see why you were successful . Class personified and I can say I love the man you are and I wish to one day shake your hand and say thank you
My father saw him play back in the day. A legend. And yes, the personification of class. Jerrys' clearly taking this twice as hard as the majority of us who loved KB.
@@jossposs6111 nice ..I wish he was in this era so I could have seen I mean he's the logo for a reason and he's respected for a reason and if Kobe loved him which he did than he has to be something special and it shows he's a good man ..a great man
I saw two other interviews after this one and jerry was just as emotional over Kobe I was very worried for him at the time..his love was very real. Rip logo
This is so heartbreaking and devastating. To see Jerry in his grief makes me think about my grandmother's grief she went through after my uncle tragically died. She never got over it. She passed away a year later. She moved to the state he lived after he passed away. I honestly believe she died of a broken heart after not being able to cope with his death. She said, no parent should have to bury their children. 😢😢😢
Mr. West, my heart goes out to you. You are such a genuine man.. May God give you the Strength and God bless your health. Praying for everyone hurting at this devastating news.
Jerry west truly is the GOAT. The guy exudes class, professionalism, and honor. I truly aspire to be a man like him. He makes me proud to be an american
I will never forget the 2008 NBA finals where my Celtics were champs. These finals where amazing, I have been watching it again lately and trying to cope with the pain. I always looked up for Bryant and for me he was always the face of Lakers, even though Shaq made history there, as well as Chamberlain, Kareem and many others, Bryant was the modern face of Lakers. He was the one who made me care for the Lakers. I remember as well their title in 2009 finals against the Magic. I will be watching these games again as well, just to remember, I was rooting for the Lakers in that finals. Even my Celtics being rivals with the Lakers, I always appreciate watching Kobe playing, I always valued his commitment to the team, 20 years of career and he never left the Lakers, that's amazing. I just want to say that, no matter what happens, Kobe will never be forgotten. Legends never die. Kobe made a legacy so huge that even 40 years from now people will be talking about him. As the saying goes, you only truly die when the last person that remembers you die as well. Kobe is immortal, he will be immortalized in the basketball history. Such a tragedy man, I have no words to say. I send my regards and prayers for the Bryant family
I’m in tears watching this and when he said he wasn’t sure if he could get over this. I hope he doesn’t pass away from heartbreak. You can tell this situation has ripped his soul apart 💔😔
My heart aches .. I feel a knot in my throat and an emptiness in my heart ... please god watch over his wife and girls they need all the prayers , love and support . RIP KOBE & GIANNA BRYANT Fly high angels 👼🏽
So sad to see everyone's heart hurting,I just lost my mother two days before Kobe,I met Kobe in Vegas years ago,thank you Mr.Jerry West,this touch my heart.

Kobe has stated many times that Jerry West was his mentor. Yes he patterned his game off of MJ but it was Jerry West who mentored him as an NBA Player.
Yes, Jerry was his mentor, and MJ his idol.
Jerry's son drove Kobe to practice every single day. He was family.
*Jerry* and *Kobe* are the two greatest Lakers of all time #44 #8 #24 🏀
MJ did pattern his game after Jerry West too, it created a chain of clutch game changer
He also mentioned him in his top 5
You can really tell that Jerry loved Kobe like a son.
Jerry said he felt like a surrogate father to Kobe. Absolutely devastating
Yes and he's hurting terribly,😢😢😢
Right! I hoped Jerry will stay strong because man he and Kobe been through a lot and now that he's gone, it's tough.

It is hard to see as well..
I liked how emphatic he was saying, "you never lie to a player- NEVER"
Something that is lost in today's world of business, especially sports.
Yeah I felt that. Obviously he knows there's some scumbags out there that do and have lied.
Jerry is not the best GM in the NBA for no reason.

Goddamn if that ain't true. Absolutely legendary
"What does it say about the social fabric of America that someone would give a "thumbs down," to someone who is given condolences to a fallen deceased legend?"
I honestly have to believe its some kind of misclick. If not we can rest assured those who knowingly did thumb down are some of the most vile scum like people in society.
Could be for them putting ads on a video like this.
It’s not just America, TH-cam is international for sure.
Maybe they dislike Kobe's death.
Ibnziyad Tariq I dislike the attempted deification of a person who was good at bouncing a basketball.
It breaks my heart watching Jerry break down the last few days.
He truly adored Kobe. It was a sincere friendship.
Rest in Power, sir. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hearing the great Jerry West say “I don’t know if I can get over this” hits hard
Jerry is one of the classy guy you always loved to see
Jerry west really loved him. Rip kobe
WEST LOVED THAT KID TRUE LOVE
WOW, this is powerful stuff, you really get a sense of just how much people loved kobe and how great of a person he truly was. RIP Kobe, we'll all remember you forever.
I got to stop watching these videos. Ive been crying for 2 days now. Cant take this!😭
The great ones have no difficulty identifying greatness. Jerry West saw the greatness in Kobe and mentored him as if he was one of his own. How grand.
Mr. West, you are back with your brother and your adoptive son, Kobe. May you be at peace, and thank you for making the game of basketball better.
My next bucket will be dedicated to you sir ❤
West Virginian here and I absolutely love the man that Jerry West is and it has nothing to do with basketball
When jerry couldnt talk through the tears i felt that
Since Kobe passed away not only you should cry for him for not being here anymore but also be happy that he impact your life and he was here when we all needed him the most also giving us good memories of how good of a person Kobe was, now that he passed away he is in a better place than this cruel world RIP Kobe we’ll miss you
Always knew of Jerry West and knew he was one of the greats. Hearing him, his relationship with Kobe and how he lost a brother in Korea almost broke me in half.
I've never witnessed a loss that has moved so many men, who were teammates, coaches, friends moved to such emotion, to tears. Quite a testimony to the kind of person he was.
The only relationship comparable to that would be the Celtics Bill Russell and Red Auerbach. When Red died, Bill couldn’t even talk about it and left a void the rest of his life.
Jerry is so Sad,,crying and devastated bei loosing Kobe,u can feel it by watching him.
How cold can u people be..giving thumbs down.
I truly hope someone is watching him while he is grieving! His heart is so broken over this! Im worried about him!
i understand many of us want people who are close to kobe to speak out but we have to remember their grieving right now and we should give them time
Kobe can't be gone man and his beautiful talented lil angel Gigi also.
I'M SOOOOO HORRIBLY HEARTBROKEN
Same man. It still hurts.
Kobe was a legend and a pure soul to all, not only basketball fans. That man was a true hero of his kind.
Jerry west knows a scrub when he sees one, thank you sir for drafting greatness, a lot of people wouldn’t have taken that gamble on a 17 yr old kid, only Jerry West
Jerry West is in so much pain. What love and respect he sows for Kobe. He really knew this young man. This is heart breaking.
Jerry west sir , I never saw you play , I knew of your legend as an executive but now I see why you were successful . Class personified and I can say I love the man you are and I wish to one day shake your hand and say thank you
My father saw him play back in the day. A legend. And yes, the personification of class. Jerrys' clearly taking this twice as hard as the majority of us who loved KB.
@@familyzforever it's heartbreaking to see this man crying , Kobe was a special individual .
Tee M I saw him play often. He was Kobe(competitor) before Kobe. He was the original and only Mr Clutch.
@@jossposs6111 nice ..I wish he was in this era so I could have seen I mean he's the logo for a reason and he's respected for a reason and if Kobe loved him which he did than he has to be something special and it shows he's a good man ..a great man
Tee M well said. Thanks
I saw two other interviews after this one and jerry was just as emotional over Kobe I was very worried for him at the time..his love was very real. Rip logo
Now they meet in Paradise🕊
This is so heartbreaking and devastating. To see Jerry in his grief makes me think about my grandmother's grief she went through after my uncle tragically died. She never got over it. She passed away a year later. She moved to the state he lived after he passed away. I honestly believe she died of a broken heart after not being able to cope with his death.
She said, no parent should have to bury their children. 😢😢😢
:(. Jerry is so torn. This hurts
Mr. West, my heart goes out to you. You are such a genuine man.. May God give you the Strength and God bless your health. Praying for everyone hurting at this devastating news.
Mad respect to Reggie. Jerry West = Class 100%
Jerry west truly is the GOAT.
The guy exudes class, professionalism, and honor. I truly aspire to be a man like him. He makes me proud to be an american
Jerry seems devestated, I hope he's ok. Everybody that's spoken about Kobe, Jerry,by far, seems just beside himself with grief. Stay strong Jerry !!
This hurts bad. Life will never be the same with Kobe. 🙏💙 RIP
Omg this is heartbreaking. There’s no racism in birth and death. We’re all the same.
God bless you
Mary Williams I love that! Those are beautiful words! 💕
♥ 🖤
Shang Tsung thank you. Blessings to to as well.
Confessions Of A Movie Freak yes indeed.
I will never forget the 2008 NBA finals where my Celtics were champs. These finals where amazing, I have been watching it again lately and trying to cope with the pain. I always looked up for Bryant and for me he was always the face of Lakers, even though Shaq made history there, as well as Chamberlain, Kareem and many others, Bryant was the modern face of Lakers. He was the one who made me care for the Lakers. I remember as well their title in 2009 finals against the Magic. I will be watching these games again as well, just to remember, I was rooting for the Lakers in that finals.
Even my Celtics being rivals with the Lakers, I always appreciate watching Kobe playing, I always valued his commitment to the team, 20 years of career and he never left the Lakers, that's amazing.
I just want to say that, no matter what happens, Kobe will never be forgotten. Legends never die. Kobe made a legacy so huge that even 40 years from now people will be talking about him.
As the saying goes, you only truly die when the last person that remembers you die as well. Kobe is immortal, he will be immortalized in the basketball history. Such a tragedy man, I have no words to say. I send my regards and prayers for the Bryant family
That Grown man is TRULY HURTING it's crazy how one MAN can affect millions around the work we all are hurting Mr West
I’m in tears watching this and when he said he wasn’t sure if he could get over this. I hope he doesn’t pass away from heartbreak. You can tell this situation has ripped his soul apart 💔😔
“You can’t play for that owner, period.”
M Joh yea I caught that he knew what was up with Sterling
And sounded just like a father
"Under no circumstances "
Man I hope Jerry stay up, this is devastating for a man of his age.
My heart aches .. I feel a knot in my throat and an emptiness in my heart ... please god watch over his wife and girls they need all the prayers , love and support . RIP KOBE & GIANNA BRYANT
Fly high angels 👼🏽
So sad to see everyone's heart hurting,I just lost my mother two days before Kobe,I met Kobe in Vegas years ago,thank you Mr.Jerry West,this touch my heart.
