For me, it's how he reached his potential, and inspired us all to strive to do the same
🙏🙏🙏
Kobe did not care if you were white or black, poor or rich, male or female…. Citizen or non citizen
Stylish and skillful, artistry at its finest.
Yes, every human can do it, that is why it is so inspiring.
Exactly💪🏾🤍
"Heroes Come & Go. But Legends Are Forever". Forever In Our Hearts ❤😢
"Those times when you get up early and you work hard, those times when you stay up late and work hard, those time when you don’t feel like working your too tired you don’t want to push yourself but you do it anyway, That is actually the dream”.
Kobe Bryant - 2016
this quote was from 2017, Kobe's Jersey Retirement speech!
Great words! 2 years ago I drove back from my parents house to Freiburg, bringing the kids to bed, went to the couch and reading television text... I miss him on the court... and beyond.
My Guy. He died young but he lived a full life
The pain the tears well never go away ever can’t believe it’s already been 2 years since we lost Kobe Gigi John Altobelli, Keri Altobelli, Alyssa Altobelli, Christina Mauser, Sarah Chester, Payton Chester and Ara Zobayan.May there souls rest in paradise 8♾24💛💜🌹🕊
Well said
Kobe was actually a 18 time all star come on Stephen A
That’s Fucked Up For Him To Say Those Things About Those Other Players Who Are Close To Kobe , While Mourning For His Death💯💯
It's a media deploy, because kyrie Irving pit out his aboriginal history, media and ESPN try to make him look crazy. Even the burning sage, look it up why kyrie did it.
Lakers are really *24/24* and *8th* seed in the West on this day 💜💛💜💛
He’s the reason why I work hard not only in basketball, but in life.
Mamba Mentality.
Two years? That's crazy. I use some portion of the mamba mentality everyday to try and be the best person I can be. Thanks Kobe for everything.
Use mamba mentality???? Mostly when sexually assaulting women im sure?????
@@larsholger8897 he didn’t though
@@beena3591 ignore, he is a loser 🤷🏻♂️
@@larsholger8897 you sure you didn't have left turns somewhat somewhere somewhen??? He just didn't pay enough at first and the girl was smart she thought she deserved more🤣
@@housesports000 Good try at being clever "House Grumpy Boys". And yes I read about the sexual assault KOBE BRYANT perpetrated in the news, Heard the victims story, SO I DO KNOW A LOT ABOUT IT Thanks!
Watching his career was such a privilege. Such an inspiration, my personal GOAT.
he is the goat !
Just cause he’s dead doesn’t make him the goat😐
@@isaacsilva4301 that’s the opinion of other people, respect it. Just like some people think kareem is the goat or mj or lebron. All opinions.
@@isaacsilva4301 I always thought he is the goat man !!
@@danielmoodey9663 so by ur logic i can say ben simmons is the goat and its valid cause its my opinion
AS A FAN OF THE GREAT KOBE 🏀 ... I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE IT'S 2 YEARS.
I PRAY 🙏 FOR HIS BELOVED FAMILY AND THOSE OTHERS THAT LOST THEIR LOVED ONES. ❣️🙏🕊️.👑 ESTHER. LA CA
Hard to believe it's been now 2 years! Rest easy Kobe and his daughter.
THE FACT THIS MAN USED THIS TO COME AT KYRIE IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE
2:21 shots fired at Kyrie, Kawhi and Ben Simmons
@@Terror832 he aint lyin
It's wrong for ESPN to throw shade out like that at Kyrie him and Kobe had a special bond
I thought it was distasteful af
he not wrong tho
For me. The GOAT. Always and forever
Kobe raised me.
Can't believe it's already been two years. Time files fast.. 😢
Strange how I’ll always remember what I was doing that day when I first heard of the news.
I still can’t believe that Kobe is gone it hasn’t really hit me 😕😕
Its been two years no way it hasnt hit u
We miss you Kobe 💛💜
No we don’t
Hes the greatest laker that played
@@dodgerguy2012 no he’s not
@@housesports000 no they didn’t
Kobe Bryant & Bruce Lee....Two of the most inspirational human beings ever.. Both dudes were ahead of their times 💪🔥
The only celebrity I genuinely cried over
Black Mamba forever! L.A. is special to me! Kobe will always be a real man I will look up to, yo! Still shoccing how he passed away. May he and his beautiful daughter rest in peace.

Kobe said that you reach your prime in life in your 40’s. The fact he only got to see 2 years of that pains me, pains us all. Rest in Paradise, Kobe. Bean. Bryant. 💛💜

Kobe was my hero...miss you Bean
Thank you so much Kobe Bryant!!
Only Stephen A. would find a way to come at Kyrie and other players when the focus is mourning Kobe
Espn*
Such a D!
@@dagreatsia nah Stephen a
@@talen2tuff805 yea but he’s one of many I said ESPN but it’s more like sports media as a whole tbh

KOBE....MVP...KOBE...MVP...8..24!!!!
“We can enjoy one without tearing down one. I love what he’s doing. Don’t debate what can’t be definitively won by anyone. enjoymy5 enjoymj6 enjoylbjquest”
- Kobe Bryant back in 2018
We miss you Kobe, when u see my dad up there, say hi to him, he's your no.1 fan
KOBE shines because of KOBE you don't have to belittle anyone else in the process.
In the loving memory and honor of the legendary Kobe Bryant (1978-2020) and his daughter Gianna (2006-2020) 3, 2, 1, Mamba Out, but not forgotten Rest in paradise heaven for both of them and all the seven passengers including the pilot who tragically died in the helicopter crash accident on Sunday morning January 26th 2020 two years ago.
The Black Mamba's spirit and legacy will live on forever throughout the city of L.A and the Lakers franchise.
This man recognized his gift from God, and did not forsake it, while sharing it with the rest of humanity. He appreciated it and applied it to the person he was destined to become without regret. As he received, he gave to show the rest of the world we all have a gift from God to use, to apply, and share with selflessness.
Stephen A Smith, you did not have to put other players down to lift Kobe up. Kobe is already beyond great no matter who or what you compare him to. No one will ever be KB. Focus on HIS greatness instead of comparing it to other’s.
Rest peacefully Kobe
Legends Never Die Everybody🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀.
We miss you blackmamba❤️
Long Live The Mamba and Mambacita!!!!
81 pts and elite defender ❤️❤️❤️
Legend, hard to believe it’s been 2 years, rest easy 🙏🏿💔🕊
I just miss him so much
Great job Stephen A 👏👏
We Love and miss you Kobe and Gigi 💛💜 never forget the others who lost their lives that day either ❤
"GOD BLESS KOBE!!🙏🙏🙏🙏
It still hurts, I still miss him
Kobe always talked so poetically about the way he worked. About the way, he put his blood, sweat, and tears into this game. He played basketball, not for the money, not the fame, but just because he loved basketball. He loved it so much that he would push his body to the limits to give the game everything he got. I was never a basketball player but I know what it means to be an athlete. What it means to love a sport so much that no matter how much it hurts you, no matter how much pain you endure you give it all you got. When he made Dear Basketball; it brought tears to my eyes. It showed that he loved the sport for the sport and nothing more. "You asked for my hustle, I gave you my heart". That was it. Those words keep me going to chase my dream. It reminds me to give everything I got into whatever I do in life. I loved Kobe. Not as a fan, or a friend, or an admirer, but as a fellow grinder. someone who could never let anyone work harder than him. Kobe is the reason I am who I am. Life cannot be forever. It just doesn't work that way. But Kobe. He will forever be infinite. In the walls of the staple center, the murals in downtown LA, and in every kid shooting something into a trash can. Kobe Bean Bryant... Thank you for every championship, every game, every shot. Cause in every single one you showed me what it's like to be a champion. A winner.
I will never get over this 💔💛💜
Y
Outside of my family and friends Kobe Bryant is by far my favorite human being to ever walk this earth.
We love you Kobe!
Still can’t believe it, watched him his whole career. So sad, he is in a better place.
He's in the grave 🤦
You are still a legend Kobe You we're a great dad, basketball legend, and postive man we miss You Kobe and Gigi ❣️💔❤️🥺
My hero the greatest of all time the black mamba 8/24 💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜
Man! This one hurts so bad!😭 breaks my heart all over again, every time! Lord protect his family, and the families of the others that are left behind.💔💔💔💔😭😭😭
It's been 2 years and my heart still didn't recover. Having the death of a hero is something really hard to digest
How this only has 90k views
Rest in peace Kobe 🙏❤️
“Time is money, I ain’t wasting time, I’m feeling like Kobe , I’m in my prime” :(
I miss you mamba 😢 love to your entire family and friends
Miss Kobe one of my top 5 greatest players of all-time. Been a fan of of his since his rookie year. I grew up a Bulls fan, but use to tune in to catch Kobe also.
The days change, but the pain and the memories remain. We love you, Mamba.
It still hurts to this day😔💔 R.I.P Mamba.
Kobe didnt have mj’s hands and jump, he didn’t have lebron’s athleticism and strength, he didnt have KD’s height, nor stephs god given shooting talent, however he had a heart bigger than anybody and was stubbornly unafraid to fail.
exactly. that's how hard he worked. he could of have not been as great as he was. but he worked harder than anybody else. kobe had the height and athleticism to make it in the NBA. His father made it to the NBA. but he could of just been a role player or bench warmer. but it was his work ethic that made him one of the greatest ever.
Still can't believe he's gone
Well believe it he ain’t coming back
As a Kobe fan when he scored 81 understand game he was a killer post drive 3-pointers he did it all why pass the ball when you on 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 these young cats don't understand the takeover
We love you, we miss you, and we will carry on your legacy and mentality every single day. Mamba never out, you will forever be in our heart man.
I still think of him everyday and everything he taught us.
Its been 2 years get over it move on
@@isaacsilva4301 get over your loved one’s death
@@BenjaminGoodman i already did, plus u cant even compare kobe to a loved one. Kobe does not know who u r and never will. U were not close to him ur just a fan like everyone else so its not comparable
i miss him everyday
I love and miss Kobe every single day!❤ I respect these moments of memory that'll always be with us. Stephen a don't try to subfloor out kawhi and kyrie does are some guys of respect and integrity, Kobe would also want us to focus on what's bigger than basketball which is life and what you do with it. I love all of you brothers. Love
He is the GREATEST!!! Period.
I love you mamba...
Just cause hes dead doesn’t make him the greatest😂
#4 All Time
Kobe you didn't want to turn back time, but I absolutely would
KOBEEEEE!!!!!☝❤❤❤
This is always gonna be a dark day
fly high kobe🕊
I like the tribute Stephen could have kept his personal feelings out of it but other than that it was a real good tribute
Him and Kobe were good friends tho
@@kevinlazaro4889 it was the sideways comments you can tell he was making about players and his view on Kyrie Irving in the pandemic
honor Kobe and keep the rest of the rhetoric
Stop it, it's all facts.
@@jasonbabilonia3037 hey I'll understand your disagreement with my opinions but it's still my opinion
the world misses you Kobe. ....
WE MISS YOU SO MUCH KOBE
Disgusting how they are trying to throw shade at Kyrie while honoring/remembering Kobe. Way to disrespect both players…
Exactly what I thought, and wrote.
Long Live Kobe🥺💔
My tears will never dry💯
Long live the goat 🐐 💜💛
Long Live The Goat
Kobe "Bean Bryant 💜💛💜💛💔
i love you, kobe
We miss u Kobe gone but never forgotten.
No we don’t
Kobe is Great for everything . Great heart , great player , great Dad n great human being . There is no kobe ever born . God gifted 🙏🙏 After 2yrs still we r sad n crying when we remember him . Always question Why this thing happen to him ????? Why ???? Is something conspiracy or real ??? No idea . World lost Legend 😭😭
It's crazy how when I tried out for the JV team, I got to wear his number and keep it until my senior year. I always practiced your in game moves no matter if it was in practice or a game. You pushed me to be my best at anything I set my mind too. Thank you, Kobe, for everything and setting examples that nothing is given, that everything is earned.
thank you stephen A. Smith for this!!!!!
Love u Kobe and Gianna 😞💜
It still feel so unreal 💔💔💜💛
There will never *ever* be another man like Kobe Bryant. Once in a Lifetime Talent and that will never ever change. Rest In Paradise to all who perished on that Crash.
The greatest player I've personally watched in my lifetime. One of if not thee most inspirational supporting figures of the 21st century. Love and miss you forever, Bean. 💛🐐💜
I don't have idol except the greatest creator above but this man made me love the sports of basketball and it makes me happy playing the game . The feeling while you play the basket is priceless, it's just giving me a really happy pill. We will miss you a lot Bean. ♥️🙏🥺
I have no words!! 😢 😢 😢 😢
rest in peace kobe and gigi
