For those unaware, the cellist (Ben Hong) had recently lost his wife about a month earlier. He said this performance was dedicated both to Kobe and to her. He did such a great job under such tragic circumstances.
How could this incredible cellist Ben Hong play so beautifully after losing his wife a month prior to this tribute? Pure love and dedication to his craft....just as KOBE had for his daughter, his fans and for basketball. RIP to all the victims of this horrific crash and may their surviving loved ones and fans find the peace and relaxing melodies of life once again.
Nobody but GOD!!!! Praying for all the families involved in this tragedy and also to you Mr.Hong & your family, in the lost of your wife. Keep trusting in GOD, HE will see you through. Your music is beautiful. It calms the soul. God bless you.
He is amazing he inspired me to push past my limits his story made it possible for me to not give up knowing he played basketball i was able to make it to college as a jr in high school for football i miss this man
This SPEECH OF KOBE SHOULD BE PLAYED AT EVERY JR. HIGH SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOLS OVER AND OVER....NO ONE SHOULD EVER GIVE UP ...NO MATTER WHAT... THANK YOU KOBE RIP...
Can you imagine how great the World would be if we all lived up to this attitude about life and living our best life. There wouldn’t be anything we couldn’t do. We could make the whole world great but unfortunately we have people who want to be on the dark side and create havoc, mayhem and cruelty. Kobe was a good Godly man who yes is not perfect but he tried to always be better and give it his all. I would love for every kid to take this message to heart and be their best. I hope coaches and teachers do use this to inspire them.
@@bigv7386 OK, tell me what the "scar" is that Kobe Byant's death has left. Basketball will still go on, with players just as good or better. His foundations will still run, nothing changes. There is no scar. You guys may be huge fans but talking like that is just ridiculous.
Adam G no it’s not🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ do you not understand the countless number of people he’s inspired, the amount of things that exist today that wouldn’t exist if he were never here, the superfluous number of murals and such. He left a scar in many peoples hearts and if you don’t see that your just like a chicken running around with it’s head cut off.
May the Lord touch all those who are mourning the lives lost in such a tragic accident. And bless Ben Hong during his time of sorrow. Beautiful music. 😢💔
With a 3yo and 7mo baby who now fatherless i do not believe Kobe's role was fulfilled nor had his assignment been completed. He spoke a lot re everything he'd planned for the next chapter post retirement but sadly he never had the oppy. A reminder tomorrow is not promised to any of us, but can all be gone in an instant So to walk in wisdom and redeem the time ♡ God is love +
@@monicahopkins9297 If one has accepted JC as Lord & Savior then yes! one will be present w Lord yet may still not have finished the wk or fulfilled God's purposes. Since to believe otherwise would mean God Himself took them up..thus God Himself Who left Capri and Bianca to both grow up w/o their daddy~and sorry but that is never Gods will His plan or purpose. He thinks generationally, so far more focused & concerned w training up children~w our role as parents vs other achievements. So while God allow us freedom to make choices we can't always put those on God
I still remember coming home in middle school and putting on the laker game and having all my worries leave me for an hour as Kobe did his thing. I will miss you Kobe I hope your family can heal from this and I hope everyone has a good life
John Calderon during Kobe’s 81 point game I was almost asleep when my dad kept yelling my name and when I went to talk to him he told me what was going on and I watched part of the game with him something I won’t forget.
Bless Mr Hong for playing this TRIBUTE to Kobe and Mr. Hong's Wife. I feel in my heart that God needs them more. Their time on earth is finished and their journey begins a new in God's loving arms. Bless all the Family's in mourning.
The cello was so beautiful and when I realized it was Hallelujah I was overcome with a powerful combination of emotions, that I think can best be described as Grace. I really think this moment can be a catalyst for our evolution as conscious beings. This past week seeing all those grown men who knew and loved Kobe open up in a way you'd never expect the jock/alpha male type to do so. Maybe I'm looking too much into this but I can say that in spite of this tragedy my faith in humanity has been rebuilt. Thank you Kobe and RIP to all 9 people who lost their lives.
This is the most moving cello solo I’ve had the privilege of hearing via livestream. I can only imagine how much more powerful it sounded in person. Kobe and Gigi Forever ❤️
He is a great competitor but he never trash talk and fight during games. Truly an angel in disguise. Younger players must own that kind of aura and personality so that their legacy would be remembered when they're gone. A beauty they must own on and off the court.
I'm still here kobe. I'm still thinking about you. Its been tough but day by day im starting to understand that youve passed away. Thank you for making me smile throughout my childhood. Thank you for being the reason I argued with all my classmates telling them that you are the best to lace them up. Thank you for being the reason im achieving my dreams and more importantly, thank you so much for reminding me to be a good father. Thank you and goodbye.
Jayden, I am so sorry for your loss! This hurt alot of people so deeply, that we feel we personally lost a loved one. I will keep you in prayer as this too shall pass. It is so hard but The Bible says to lean not on your own understanding. We don't understand it now, nor do I think we ever will. God has a plan! My prayer for you is that you continue to move forward, be a great dad as Kolby was to his girls. Use this as a teachable moment do all you can every 24 be a beacon of light. Peace and Love
MY CHILDHOOD! MY ROLE MODEL! so many lessons i’ve learned* from Kobe beyond basketball. I will miss him forever and I won’t look at things the same anymore. I want to become a better person because of him. That’s his legacy
That was beautiful! The cello player was perfect. My heart goes out to him and Kobe's family and all the other families that lost a loved one that tragic day.
We celebrate your greatness Kobe. We miss you charm. We cherish who you inspired us to all become. We know you and your daughter are playing ball in whatever heaven you're now in. I'd say to rest in peace, but you never seemed to rest. Again, thank you.
This was beautiful it hit me right in the feels... I have such an appreciation for his legacy the inspiration the competitive drive that he spreads is like wild fire to me they will never be another like him watching him afar being a fan of his for the last 20 yrs or so it makes me feel like I lost a family member I love you Kobe and Gigi my prayers go out to Vanessa, his girls and the rest of his family. I also pray for everyone else that passed in the helicopter crash and not only them but all I repeat all that are hurting may God lift us up through the power of his glorious son Jesus Christ.... Amen
WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A fighter, but a gentle soul. God Bless. him his daughter and his family. God Bless Ben Hong. Don't know how he did it. No Words
Thank you so much Lakers for this. This was a very special night for us. I love this team and all the good memories it has given me, Lakers for life. RIP Kobe, one of the most hard-working and succesful NBA players, a Legend and an inspiration to many.
He would keep it going...so much so, I would check in ever so often to see what GOOD he was up to vibrant spirited ACTUALLY GOT ME INTERESTED in basketball
I tried not to get affected by this particular tribute. In my mind kobe is just another superstar who passed away and at that it was his time to go. But at the end of the video little teardrops fell from my eyes.... What struck me the most are his words which reverberated in my heart. Now i understand why he is adored by many. He is an inspirational human being with the highest mindset of hardwork and winning. And i cannot forget his mission of passing the value of showmanship and empowering the younger generation specially the women. He is truly inspiring and i know his words of inspiration will help a lot of people to become better each day.
I LOVE YOU KOBE AND GIGI!!!!!!!! RIP EVERYONE THAT LOST THEIR LIVES THAT DAY. EVEN THOUGH I DONT FEEL ANYTHING COMPARED TO MS.BRYANT AND THE REST OF THE FAMILY, I REALLY FEEL LIKE I LOST FAMILY, AND THE GASH IN MY HEART WILL NEVER EVER HEAL. :'(
Hoops in Heaven- A Kobe Bryant Tribute Poem The clouds are extra heavy The sky, a solemn shade of gray Hearts are aching across the nation Many are gathered where you used to play But the silence is deafeningly loud Since people don’t really know what to do or say. The only thing we know is that we will NEVER forget this day. You will be remembered as a relentlessly fierce competitor For you, basketball was more than just a sport Ball was love, ball was life One of the best to ever step foot on the court. Laker for Life…Black Mamba There will never be another You made it look so easy-turn around fade away… “Bryant for the game winning shot at the buzzer!” Drive was in your DNA You always wanted more Your final performance was epic When you added 60 points to the score Then there was that time you unleashed on the Raptors When you put 81 points up on the board. This catastrophic loss is universal You touched countless people in many parts of the world Hearts are breaking across the globe for all of those who perished today including you and your baby girl. A father, a husband, an author, a producer You were so much more than a Basketball legend You gave us 20 years on the court Now, you’ll be shooting hoops in heaven.
That is absolutely amazing. May god rest there souls and be will all the family’s and friends effected by this loss. Gone but never forgot mamba and mambacita 👼🏾
What a beautiful poem. Your heart is filled with love and sadness. Please know how wonderful YOU have made many others feel....giving them peace in their hearts for just a moment. God Bless You.
" You know, if you do the work, you work hard enough, dreams come true. Those times where you get up early and you work hard, those times where you stay up late and you work hard, those times where you don't feel like working and you're too tired you don't wanna push yourself but you do it anyway. That is actually the dream. " Thanks Kobe.
An eloquent and insightful young man. His time was too short yet he lived his message. A bright star. Condolences to his Kobe’s family, friends, and to his friends and his daughter he lost that day.
I cried the entire time for so many different reasons. Made me think of my life and dreams i thought i couldn't achieve. My mind is open again. Im ready. RIP KOBE N GIGI ❤😭🙏
Losing Kobe is like losing a family member to the whole world man 😔 Long live the legend Rip Kobe, Giana, and the other’s who were in the helicopter forever y’all will always be on hearts
Watching with tears in my eyes right before the top of the 2020 Finals. The First finals I remember was Kobe vs the Pacers and now I’m and adult still watching. Miss you love, love you FOREVER
Grew up watching this legend..he’s gone from this world, but not our hearts, legacies live on forever! Maybe you, Gigi, and all the others who lost their lives live a beautiful afterlife!
Kobe was a gift from god. He was here for a very short time and left a legacy like no other. His daughter was the next up and coming star💕god had other plans. 2 beautiful souls now in heaven💖
I believe everyone has a purpose in life no matter what. As I watch this I feel that he left so much positive things he worked everyday for what he wanted for what he was passionate about. His spirit left this world but he left his legacy and that’s how it should be. We are here for a short period of time we don’t belong to anyone. It’s amazing to have so many people across the world that will remember him his daughter and the rest of the amazing souls with such great respect and love. He accomplish his purpose in life and left his knowledge to those who are still here. My condolence for each and every family member of those who left.
My God, he was a Renaissance Man!!! Truly remarkable...why Lord? We are mourning the loss of a remarkable human being along with his child. It's just heartbreaking.
I miss you, Kobe Bean. Hope you, Gigi, & all the others lost on January 26, 2020 are resting peacefully. ❤️ I’m inspired by you and I appreciate you. Love you my man
We loved Kobe, but God loves him more and told him it’s time to come home. There is a message in this tragedy to the whole world. “ Love one another Today”as I have love you. RIP family.
You are in mourning honey. Just let it happen and cry it out. But also remember to honor him by becoming a better person. Help out or volunteer. It will make you feel better knowing it is what he did. Bless you. 🌿🕊
I know a little girl discover him the day he is gone and she was deeply sad and now, she lives every moment for joy ...and she says me Kobe and gigi inspired her and she is grateful for discover this man and she smiles and sees the heaven for thinking them💔

Hoops in Heaven- A Kobe Bryant Tribute Poem
The clouds are extra heavy
The sky, a solemn shade of gray
Hearts are aching across the nation
Many are gathered where you used to play
But the silence is deafeningly loud
Since people don’t really know what to do or say.
The only thing we know is that we will NEVER forget this day.
You will be remembered as a relentlessly fierce competitor
For you, basketball was more than just a sport
Ball was love, ball was life
One of the best to ever step foot on the court.
Laker for Life…Black Mamba
There will never be another
You made it look so easy-turn around fade away…
“Bryant for the game winning shot at the buzzer!”
Drive was in your DNA
You always wanted more
Your final performance was epic
When you added 60 points to the score
Then there was that time you unleashed on the Raptors
When you put 81 points up on the board.
This catastrophic loss is universal
You touched countless people in many parts of the world
Hearts are breaking across the globe for all of those who perished today
including you and your baby girl.
A father, a husband, an author, a producer
You were so much more than a Basketball legend
You gave us 20 years on the court
Now, you’ll be shooting hoops in heaven.
So well written. Love it.
RIP Kobe and gigi, you'll always be remembered.
That is absolutely amazing. May god rest there souls and be will all the family’s and friends effected by this loss. Gone but never forgot mamba and mambacita 👼🏾

He accomplish his purpose in life and left his knowledge to those who are still here. My condolence for each and every family member of those who left.
My God, he was a Renaissance Man!!! Truly remarkable...why Lord? We are mourning the loss of a remarkable human being along with his child. It's just heartbreaking.
I miss you, Kobe Bean. Hope you, Gigi, & all the others lost on January 26, 2020 are resting peacefully. ❤️ I’m inspired by you and I appreciate you. Love you my man
We loved Kobe, but God loves him more and told him it’s time to come home. There is a message in this tragedy to the whole world. “ Love one another Today”as I have love you. RIP family.
