I had to turn off my phone cuz ppl were texting me
There was alot of fake death news goin around one time i heard celene dion and the rock died n it was fake so i shrugged it off as a fake alarm but then i saw official news pages showing it smh
@@KimiJadoreI remember exactly where I was. I was sitting at the dinner table eating some chicken and rice, and then my stepdad comes into the room and tells us that kobe died. I said, who? Then he said kobe, kobe bryant. Then I was like nah. What do you mean. You mean kobe? It just didn't process for me that he would die. It just didn't make sense in my brain. Then I looked it up on my phone and saw on TMZ that he died from a helicopter crash about 45 minutes earlier. I couldn't believe it at all
I remember hearing about Kobe’s death. I live in Australia so we were at a resort celebrating Australia Day and this was during the fires so we were celebrating the bravery of our fire fighters as well. We got really drunk that night and crashed out. The next day, I pop on to my phone and the news is everywhere. Not only did that ruin what was a great weekend but it set all of us up for one of the roughest and darkest years of bad luck
This is almost exactly how I reacted too. Couldn’t believe it at first. Didn’t want to accept it. Then just held my head. RIP Kobe. Life hasn’t been the same since.
I still remember the exact moment I learnt of his passing. I was working and a customer or co-worker mentioned it. Quickly the news spread around the store and everyone began talking about it. It felt so surreal at the time. Just goes to show that life is too damn unexpected. Rest in paradise to all of those who passed
I was buying groceries and then the dude bagging them was like “you know who Kobe is right? He just died” I said man stop playing and went on with my buisness but right when I got to my car I had to look it up. Couldn’t believe it. One of the greats. Gone in an instant. RIP

I always was a big michael jordan fan even though i live in Europe and my main sport / the sport that i love the most is football. I grew into all that nba stuff a lot of years ago because of sneaker (i collect) and friends of mine that used to play. So i started to play basketball 2 but never got really good at it. I still watch some games when i can because here in Germany the games are at 4 am. I remember how one of my best friends gave me a Kobe bryant poster/picture (mamba out scene) because he knew that kobe was beside mj my 2nd fav player. When I heard about that news i literally started crying. I couldnt even believe it. I was hoping a few days that it would turn out to be fake news but sadly it didnt :( The following days were also hard. You could literally feel how everyone at the court was sad. The fact that his daughter gigi died 2 just made it even worse A big loss for the sports and world in general a. Kobe, one of sports greats, a humble guy. Kobe Bryant STILL is an idol for every young man out there trying to accomplish something in life. Thats mamba mentality. Work hard and life will deliver
I ain't even a basketball fan but this was big. Kobe was one of those guys where you just never thought it would be them, where you thought they'd be around forever. Never met the guy nor did I care for him but I will admit I teared up hearing this almost as much as I did when Steve Irwin died.
This gonna sound weird but I swear I cried when Dale Earnhardt died , I don’t even watch NASCAR , but I love sports in general, and the Daytona like Nascars super bowl , so I happened to be watching it , and idk what it was , I’m guessing it was cause I watched the crash happen on TV in real time , if anything I liked Jeff Gordon , so Earnfart was like his rival back then , so I always went against him , but when he died I was legitimately broken up about it. One of those rivals you hate , but respect. I’m a Packer fan too, so it’s the same with Randy Moss , T.O. , Warren Sapp, Brady this season , Cowboys in the Early 90’s , you trash them all day long , but when they gone or retired , you appreciate that greatness they always brought. Kobe hurt more than anything though. Kobe was never a nemesis, Kobe was the idol. After Jordan retired , I quit watching NBA altogether, only basketball I watched was College , Conference Tournys and March Madness , then #8 Kobe came and it was like Jordan rebirth, always told everyone , I wasn’t a Laker fan , but I was a Kobe fan. One of the best ever , and it hurt more than any celebrity death. And the sickening part was how the NBA never gave him his roses when he was playing or still alive , constantly downplaying his greatness , “doesn’t pass” , “wouldn’t win without Shaq” , “Sexual Assault” , etc, the Media always hated on Kobe , same way they did Iverson , yet only now , when they were able to see the magnitude of his greatness by how many people were disturbed by the news of his death, only then did they realize how special he was. And I would compare that to be similar to how I felt about Earnhardt , not realizing I only hated him because of how great he was , and the constant threat he always presented.
Im not a huge fan of basketball but there is something special when someones death can affect an entire community in the same way. That means that person was something special.
Who still gets emotional everytime they think about Kobe and how much joy he brought into our lives a Man we felt we all knew personally love you KOBE!
I thought that shit was fake when I first heard about it. There's been times I would see a post on Facebook or ig about a celebrity death then found out it was fake after googling it. After seeing this on ig I went straight to Google and found out it was real, I literally felt like I lost a family member that day.
Yeah yo I’ve seen one about will smith falling off a cliff hiking, and one about Em in a car accident or something like that. That’s exactly what I thought at first, just some bs post being copied and sent around Twitter.
Bro I was watching the pro bowl and one of the commentators said a laker legend died but he didn’t say who until like halftime I thought it was jerry west or someone almost had a heart attack when I found out it was kobe😪
Literally got told by a girl at work when it first happened and was like how do you know? And she said Facebook. I instantly looked at her and was like gtfoh and laughed cause she believed something like that from Facebook. I was just casually on Twitter about 5 min later and slowly started seeing the tweets and my heart dropped to my stomach
I was playing Mortal Kombat 11 against someone that made their variation name "R.I.P. KOBE BRYANT" ..that's how I found out. I literally couldn't even focus to play anymore 😪
Yea I was out lunch with my family my brother told me but I didn’t believe him so I had to search it up and this was my reaction but a few hours after we hear the first COVID case was here in the city that I live so bad news 2 in 1
@@alancarrot4076 I had just came from church when my sister called me and told me that he died. I thought it’s was fake news then I checked twitter and it was all over.
I asked my mom for a Kobe jersey the day before he died and when I woke up and ate breakfast I saw on the news he died. I was so shocked and sad because he’s the reason why I play basketball and still do
I know that feeling of disbelief man. When I found out the news at the end of my hospital shift, I was screaming expletives in the elevator non stop and spent the rest of the day locked in my room watching Kobe videos.
"The world"... So in some obscure corner of the Amazon jungles, there was one tribal member approach another to announce the sad news? In the deserts of Arabia, a Bedouin chieftain in his tent gathers the whole family to tell them the bad news... in the wilderness of the Kalahari, the Bushman calls off the annual Antelope hunt...for an official 3 day mourning period.
I got this recommended four years after his death. And it still hits hard for me I wear the number 8 for Kobe because he is my role model to get better at basketball and to be a better person
Man this man is my favirote nba player ever i was born in 2000 and me and kobe has the same birthday so for my golden birthday i went to i spent my time in LA with a kobe jersey on for the whole day i never met him but it feel like i did, rest up mamba you will never be forgotten
Man I remember exactly where I was when I heard this news and I can’t even begin to describe the overwhelming sadness and shock that came over me and all of us. The world froze, like it was nothing any of us could’ve even imagined happening. People like Kobe you can never imagine something some tragic and unpredictable happening to them. He didn’t get to complete so many tasks he wanted to, he didn’t get to see Giana make it to the wnba and become a legend like her father, he didn’t get to see his baby girls grow up. The world hasn’t been the same without them now here we are 4 years later still living in Kobe and Gianna Bryant’s memory. Rest in peace Mamba & Mambacita 💛💜
I was on break when I checked my phone and saw the TMZ post. Everyone was saying it was fake and I began to feel some relief but then more sources said the same thing and my heart was crushed. RIP Black Mamba. One of the most iconic players EVER.
Facts I remember that when the first tmz post happened everyone posted it saying it’s fake then the story got updated… it’s crazy man I remember waking up the consecutive days like “damn Kobe really is dead”
But the thing is TMZ don't miss on celebrity news. I remember how they were kind of irrelevant many years ago until they dropped that news about Michael Jackson being brought to the ER and dying.
I remember when he died someone got onto the intercom at work and said “Rest In Peace to the legend Kobe Bryant “ and it sent such a chill into my body I was still for a minute
Man , I was crying all day at work. It's weird that all those who knows something about the universe or how it works or something dies. I can't explain what I am saying. E.g. Bruce Lee and Kobe Bryant. Both these guys knew something that other humans didn't.
Once saw Kobe at 6am just me and him walking on the UCLA campus super early in the morning. We looked at each other and nodded and kept walking. I always regret not saying hello and shaking his hand but didn't want to bother him. I was actually In Kobe Japan when I heard of his passing, it was surreal.
Right same here... I was initially at a gas station when I heard someone say it. But ofc I didn’t believe it at first cuz we live in a world where anything can be photoshopped or made up. So I went to grandma house Nd then my friend texted me saying that Kobe died in a helicopter crash and then I jus looked it up for my self Nd saw it. One of the most shocking things I’ve ever seen.
And the world has never been the same since. Ill always remember that day. Where i was, what i was doing. Never been so affected by the death of someone i had never met. And theres millions of others the feel the same way. RIP Kobe.
Imagine if we lived in a time when people respected all religions and (or at the very least) their people, regardless of if they think that religion is bs or not.
I’m not really a basketball fan but I can appreciate what an icon and role model Kobe was for a lot of people and these videos always get me because obviously everyone has their time but to see someone who was so looked up to and had so much life left to live get taken so young is heartbreaking
I woke up and literally the first thing I saw before I could even put together where I was, was "Kobe Bryant dies in helicopter crash" I got up and spent 5 hours thinking it was some bullshit insta post,my lil bro came home from practice crying and everything since that incident has been downhill
Same shit. I can remember the exact time I woke up, 10:42 am. I got a notification from the Newsbreak app. My whole body got hot, I was hoping I read it wrong. I went on IG, and didn’t see anything on my timeline so I was like ok it ain’t real. Then I went to TMZ’s page. My heart dropped when they confirmed it.
I was out eating with some family friends and my friend sent me the text..I thought he was playing so I just said it’s a fake post..then I saw it on the TV at the restaurant..almost broke down in tears
@@justiny.burner5448 I was in my room on ft wit a little fefe, and my friend constantly kept calling me and I finally answer and he said Kobe died, and I said who Kobe and I denied it for the past 30 mins. After it sunken in I watched Kobe games for the rest of the day 💜💛
Bro I just cried for like 2 weeks straight. His death hit me hard , he was my idol since I was 12 and now I’m 20 . Rip Kobe u still and always will be my hero ❤️👑
I was at work when I found out. Kobe being my favorite basketball player, growing up watching em and wanting to be him as a kid. (We even had a minor league basketball lakers team here in my city I played for). The news was so heartbreaking I had to walk off the line at work and shed some tears as it felt like a close relative who passed. No kids , but I named my first owned dog Kobe and a daughter of his litter name Gigi in honor. Rip black mamba and Gigi and the rest of the passengers who lost their lives on the helicopter😢
The fact he had to check to see if it was actually real, it seemed so unreal to everyone, I didn’t watch basketball much, but when I heard about his death, it made me sad for him, not for his fans, but for HIM and his daughter
My friend called me and I just kept saying Kobe who? Bryant? Kobe Bryant? Like my brain had to say it over and over to even register wtf he told me. Will never forget that day
Omgosh I remember that day I was just hanging out with my friend at my house it was such a normal day.. and then boom on the news😭my school payed a tribute to him in the announcements and I couldn’t help but ball my eyes out
I wasn’t even a big Kobe fan but I had been watching him my whole life and always knew he was a goat. I’m from Texas so I was a huge spurs fan, and he was always the enemy bc of how damn good he was! Lol. Lakers/Spurs rivalry was deep for years. But When I found out about his death, it srsly felt like the world stopped. Someone like me who wasn’t even a huge fan felt the impact of his death bc of how important he was to the game of basketball. Made me incredibly sad and emotional and couldn’t imagine how huge lakers fans and Kobe fans felt when I myself was distraught about it. So sad to see such a legend of a man leave this earth too soon. Rip Kobe
I was bartending that day and for the rest of that shift it felt like my body was on autopilot and it felt so crazy to walk around and hear it spread like wildfire.. RIP Mamba
I was never a big Kobe fan but his sudden death was just shocking. I think it just reaffirmed to all of us how death or tragedy can happen to anyone, anytime no matter how famous or rich you are. Something that happens on a daily basis sadly. No one is untouchable to horror and tragedy.
I remember when I just finished work and that was my exact reaction, I’m from the UK. Kobe was one of the reasons why i started watching basketball. To this day it still hurts to know he gone, I’m glad the lakers won it because that was definitely for Kobe and His daughter. RIP 🙏🏻💜💛
Got chills 1 year later. Never watched a game of basketball in my life. Still knew how much kobe meant to the world. Wow man, this just shows u how talented the man actually was. May his soul rest in peace amen💙🙏🏿
I’ll never forget my girl told me while I was at work that Kobe died. I was 21 years old lmao I literally called off the rest of the day and went home in disbelief. It’s still unreal to me.
I was in the barber and my brother was getting a fade when both me and my dad get the notification. 3 out of the 6 barbers cried saying that their childhood just died with them. That was a very sad day.
Man, you can tell he was trying to hold it together. They’re all just vibin listenin to some upbeat music too and then imagine that news, that flips your whole day around.
Still can’t believe it. He was a true inspiration for so many. He touched so many ppl as well man 😞 He even had my mom heartbroken too… she loved how he cared for his family and how good of a father he was 😢😢 RIP KOBE 💛💜
I was playing a basketball game with some guys @ a park in Houston. A guy passing by us told us the news and we all stopped the game and checked our phones in disbelief. RIP. There is only one who saves from eternal death he is Jesus Christ

This gonna sound weird but I swear I cried when Dale Earnhardt died , I don’t even watch NASCAR , but I love sports in general, and the Daytona like Nascars super bowl , so I happened to be watching it , and idk what it was , I’m guessing it was cause I watched the crash happen on TV in real time , if anything I liked Jeff Gordon , so Earnfart was like his rival back then , so I always went against him , but when he died I was legitimately broken up about it. One of those rivals you hate , but respect. I’m a Packer fan too, so it’s the same with Randy Moss , T.O. , Warren Sapp, Brady this season , Cowboys in the Early 90’s , you trash them all day long , but when they gone or retired , you appreciate that greatness they always brought.
Kobe hurt more than anything though. Kobe was never a nemesis, Kobe was the idol. After Jordan retired , I quit watching NBA altogether, only basketball I watched was College , Conference Tournys and March Madness , then #8 Kobe came and it was like Jordan rebirth, always told everyone , I wasn’t a Laker fan , but I was a Kobe fan. One of the best ever , and it hurt more than any celebrity death. And the sickening part was how the NBA never gave him his roses when he was playing or still alive , constantly downplaying his greatness , “doesn’t pass” , “wouldn’t win without Shaq” , “Sexual Assault” , etc, the Media always hated on Kobe , same way they did Iverson , yet only now , when they were able to see the magnitude of his greatness by how many people were disturbed by the news of his death, only then did they realize how special he was.
And I would compare that to be similar to how I felt about Earnhardt , not realizing I only hated him because of how great he was , and the constant threat he always presented.
Me too.
Im not a huge fan of basketball but there is something special when someones death can affect an entire community in the same way. That means that person was something special.
❤
Who still gets emotional everytime they think about Kobe and how much joy he brought into our lives a Man we felt we all knew personally love you KOBE!

Not funny.
@@briaaberry Not funny either.
@@hazardgaminghg122 no one said it’s funny chill tf out
I thought that shit was fake when I first heard about it. There's been times I would see a post on Facebook or ig about a celebrity death then found out it was fake after googling it. After seeing this on ig I went straight to Google and found out it was real, I literally felt like I lost a family member that day.
This is the comment I have been looking for
Yeah yo I’ve seen one about will smith falling off a cliff hiking, and one about Em in a car accident or something like that. That’s exactly what I thought at first, just some bs post being copied and sent around Twitter.
I feel that. I was laying on the couch when I found out and couldn’t get myself to get up for like 7 hours
Bro I was watching the pro bowl and one of the commentators said a laker legend died but he didn’t say who until like halftime I thought it was jerry west or someone almost had a heart attack when I found out it was kobe😪
Literally got told by a girl at work when it first happened and was like how do you know? And she said Facebook. I instantly looked at her and was like gtfoh and laughed cause she believed something like that from Facebook. I was just casually on Twitter about 5 min later and slowly started seeing the tweets and my heart dropped to my stomach
It’s been 4 years but it still hurts
I was playing Mortal Kombat 11 against someone that made their variation name "R.I.P. KOBE BRYANT" ..that's how I found out. I literally couldn't even focus to play anymore 😪
This shit was like the beginning of the end

Hi 🙋♂️
This how 90% of people reacted when they first heard the news.
Yea I was out lunch with my family my brother told me but I didn’t believe him so I had to search it up and this was my reaction but a few hours after we hear the first COVID case was here in the city that I live so bad news 2 in 1

@@Us3r739 what are you talking about
I asked my mom for a Kobe jersey the day before he died and when I woke up and ate breakfast I saw on the news he died. I was so shocked and sad because he’s the reason why I play basketball and still do
I know that feeling of disbelief man. When I found out the news at the end of my hospital shift, I was screaming expletives in the elevator non stop and spent the rest of the day locked in my room watching Kobe videos.
i love how the world just came together when kobe died. literally, everybody told everybody and we all felt the same sadness/disbelief. shit is crazy
@Alex bruh shut the fuck up
"The world"...
So in some obscure corner of the Amazon jungles, there was one tribal member approach another to announce the sad news? In the deserts of Arabia, a Bedouin chieftain in his tent gathers the whole family to tell them the bad news... in the wilderness of the Kalahari, the Bushman calls off the annual Antelope hunt...for an official 3 day mourning period.

I got this recommended four years after his death. And it still hits hard for me I wear the number 8 for Kobe because he is my role model to get better at basketball and to be a better person
Kobe was the only celebrity death that made me shed real tears. He was a legend on and off the court. RIP

Like when he cheated on his wife off the court
Happened 3 times to me . Kobe . Maradona . And Messi leaving
@@figuregod5142 Kobe and Chadwick Bozeman made me cry
We all had that “Youre lying bro that ain’t true.” Reaction. We even looked it up and still said it wasn’t true.
Man this man is my favirote nba player ever i was born in 2000 and me and kobe has the same birthday so for my golden birthday i went to i spent my time in LA with a kobe jersey on for the whole day i never met him but it feel like i did, rest up mamba you will never be forgotten
Man I remember exactly where I was when I heard this news and I can’t even begin to describe the overwhelming sadness and shock that came over me and all of us. The world froze, like it was nothing any of us could’ve even imagined happening. People like Kobe you can never imagine something some tragic and unpredictable happening to them. He didn’t get to complete so many tasks he wanted to, he didn’t get to see Giana make it to the wnba and become a legend like her father, he didn’t get to see his baby girls grow up. The world hasn’t been the same without them now here we are 4 years later still living in Kobe and Gianna Bryant’s memory. Rest in peace Mamba & Mambacita 💛💜
I was on break when I checked my phone and saw the TMZ post. Everyone was saying it was fake and I began to feel some relief but then more sources said the same thing and my heart was crushed. RIP Black Mamba. One of the most iconic players EVER.
Facts I remember that when the first tmz post happened everyone posted it saying it’s fake then the story got updated… it’s crazy man I remember waking up the consecutive days like “damn Kobe really is dead”
That’s Jordan
But the thing is TMZ don't miss on celebrity news. I remember how they were kind of irrelevant many years ago until they dropped that news about Michael Jackson being brought to the ER and dying.
@@Us3r739he said one of the, not the, lol
@@robbie5010 Theres always a bot like this guy lmaoooo
I remember when he died someone got onto the intercom at work and said “Rest In Peace to the legend Kobe Bryant “ and it sent such a chill into my body I was still for a minute
Man , I was crying all day at work. It's weird that all those who knows something about the universe or how it works or something dies. I can't explain what I am saying.
E.g. Bruce Lee and Kobe Bryant.
Both these guys knew something that other humans didn't.
I would have fell out if I hard the news like that. I was driving, had to pull over I was shaking
Once saw Kobe at 6am just me and him walking on the UCLA campus super early in the morning. We looked at each other and nodded and kept walking. I always regret not saying hello and shaking his hand but didn't want to bother him. I was actually In Kobe Japan when I heard of his passing, it was surreal.
One of those times you remember everything you did that day, R.I.P Kobe and to the others on the flight as well.

Right same here... I was initially at a gas station when I heard someone say it. But ofc I didn’t believe it at first cuz we live in a world where anything can be photoshopped or made up. So I went to grandma house Nd then my friend texted me saying that Kobe died in a helicopter crash and then I jus looked it up for my self Nd saw it. One of the most shocking things I’ve ever seen.

And the world has never been the same since. Ill always remember that day. Where i was, what i was doing. Never been so affected by the death of someone i had never met. And theres millions of others the feel the same way. RIP Kobe.
I get chills from this clip everytime I watch it.

Imagine if we lived in a time when people respected all religions and (or at the very least) their people, regardless of if they think that religion is bs or not.
I’m not really a basketball fan but I can appreciate what an icon and role model Kobe was for a lot of people and these videos always get me because obviously everyone has their time but to see someone who was so looked up to and had so much life left to live get taken so young is heartbreaking
One of them moments where you remember exactly where you were at the time the news were brought up to you.
Never forget. RIP Mamba.
Just got chills watching this.. I will never ever EVER forget the day... I was visiting LA from Australia when it happened
Watching this gave me the chills like when I found out he really did died.
th-cam.com/video/m-30Jro6vRY/w-d-xo.html
I woke up and literally the first thing I saw before I could even put together where I was, was "Kobe Bryant dies in helicopter crash"
I got up and spent 5 hours thinking it was some bullshit insta post,my lil bro came home from practice crying and everything since that incident has been downhill
Same shit. I can remember the exact time I woke up, 10:42 am. I got a notification from the Newsbreak app. My whole body got hot, I was hoping I read it wrong. I went on IG, and didn’t see anything on my timeline so I was like ok it ain’t real. Then I went to TMZ’s page. My heart dropped when they confirmed it.
I was out eating with some family friends and my friend sent me the text..I thought he was playing so I just said it’s a fake post..then I saw it on the TV at the restaurant..almost broke down in tears

I remember this day perfectly ! I still feel heartbroken 💔 RIP Kobe ! Miss you
It felt like a part of my Los Angeles childhood was ripped from my chest. Childhood hero, role model as an adult, hometown icon. Mamba Forever.
Bro I just cried for like 2 weeks straight. His death hit me hard , he was my idol since I was 12 and now I’m 20 . Rip Kobe u still and always will be my hero ❤️👑
This is so sad. I’m so sorry Kobe and to the people who were effected.
It’s been a year. We miss you guys 😭
We really miss you all
I was at work when I found out. Kobe being my favorite basketball player, growing up watching em and wanting to be him as a kid. (We even had a minor league basketball lakers team here in my city I played for). The news was so heartbreaking I had to walk off the line at work and shed some tears as it felt like a close relative who passed. No kids , but I named my first owned dog Kobe and a daughter of his litter name Gigi in honor. Rip black mamba and Gigi and the rest of the passengers who lost their lives on the helicopter😢
watching this again still makes me wanna cry
The fact he had to check to see if it was actually real, it seemed so unreal to everyone, I didn’t watch basketball much, but when I heard about his death, it made me sad for him, not for his fans, but for HIM and his daughter
COBE IS DEAD ACCEPT IT HE IS ZOMBIENOW
And he playing prince in the background makes it sadder rip to the goats
Exactly, I was already feeling a way hearing that. But at least Kobe didn't die with funny business involved unlike Prince and Michael.
What song is it btw?

Crazy…I can still feel all of the emotion I had and remember right where I was when I heard…
Everyone was like Kobe who when our friends told us about the death... even thou we only know one kobe....
My friend called me and I just kept saying Kobe who? Bryant? Kobe Bryant? Like my brain had to say it over and over to even register wtf he told me. Will never forget that day

Omgosh I remember that day I was just hanging out with my friend at my house it was such a normal day.. and then boom on the news😭my school payed a tribute to him in the announcements and I couldn’t help but ball my eyes out
This also shook me up....when I wake up and open my Facebook...the first to poop up was about the news...RIP Legend 🙏🏻
You could see the tears fill up his eyes🥺🥺🥺
Sad moment caught on live. Rip Kobe Bryant
I wasn’t even a big Kobe fan but I had been watching him my whole life and always knew he was a goat. I’m from Texas so I was a huge spurs fan, and he was always the enemy bc of how damn good he was! Lol. Lakers/Spurs rivalry was deep for years. But When I found out about his death, it srsly felt like the world stopped. Someone like me who wasn’t even a huge fan felt the impact of his death bc of how important he was to the game of basketball. Made me incredibly sad and emotional and couldn’t imagine how huge lakers fans and Kobe fans felt when I myself was distraught about it. So sad to see such a legend of a man leave this earth too soon. Rip Kobe
Well said.
I was bartending that day and for the rest of that shift it felt like my body was on autopilot and it felt so crazy to walk around and hear it spread like wildfire.. RIP Mamba
Still remember this day so clear. Found out when I walked into work and was fighting tears the whole shift. RIP LEGEND
I was never a big Kobe fan but his sudden death was just shocking. I think it just reaffirmed to all of us how death or tragedy can happen to anyone, anytime no matter how famous or rich you are. Something that happens on a daily basis sadly. No one is untouchable to horror and tragedy.
Goosebumps still got me whenever i saw video about kobe's death, damn bro😓
I still remember the day my mom called and told me Kobe died shit was crazy . Felt like family rip 🐐
"That's not true right?"

Still get goosebumps from watching this. The whole world felt his passing.
I remember when I just finished work and that was my exact reaction, I’m from the UK. Kobe was one of the reasons why i started watching basketball. To this day it still hurts to know he gone, I’m glad the lakers won it because that was definitely for Kobe and His daughter. RIP 🙏🏻💜💛
Got chills 1 year later. Never watched a game of basketball in my life. Still knew how much kobe meant to the world. Wow man, this just shows u how talented the man actually was. May his soul rest in peace amen💙🙏🏿
I’ll never forget my girl told me while I was at work that Kobe died. I was 21 years old lmao I literally called off the rest of the day and went home in disbelief. It’s still unreal to me.
I was in the barber and my brother was getting a fade when both me and my dad get the notification. 3 out of the 6 barbers cried saying that their childhood just died with them. That was a very sad day.
