“I think I’m the one person that has a connection that nobody else had with Kobe” stay strong Tracy 💔
Shaq
SportsSpectacular Flint not even shaq.
Yep. They legitimately respected more than any two players. The battles were great.
Shaq, d fish, lamar, tracy but we all miss you kobe 😥
I think he was over exaggerating that
Kobe is not gone, he is just one step ahead of us, like always
Love that.
Yes,
Awwww ❤️
Heaven That Is - 👼 Kobe Byrant Are An 👼 Walking 🚶 Around Heaven Gate 💎 🌞 ☁ 🌈.
Amen..well said.
"Don´t worry uncle Mac i´ve got this"...that one got me right in the soul.
Right!!!! Love tmac had his black low tops. Love the love he has for kobe
Same
Made me cry when he broke right there
T‐MAC lost his brother Kobe. I've always loved kobe Bryant. But McGrady was a badass to. You can tell they had a relationship and deep connection that no one knew about
Still breaks my heart everytime he says that. She had the Mamba Mentality 😭💔
Glad they clarified the “want to die young” statement. That was obviously young Kobe and not Kobe with kids.
No clarification needed. We sort of understand that people grow and as we get older our views of life, our personal lives change.
Ohhhhhhh!!! That makes much more sense....
AGREED EVERYONE SAYS STUPID STUFF WHEN YOUNG AND WITHOUT THINKING.
I think the real irony is although he said it years ago before he started a family, he still died young. On the bright side, he left a HUGE impact on many many people. Thanks to technology and the internet, Kobe will live forever. We can see and hear him anytime! 💜💜
Your words have power!
I’m going to have to stop watching ESPN & all TV for awhile... this one hurts too much.
Same here
Ikr. I actually got off FB and gonna be off for 2 weeks. It's too much. I'm crying at work and all. So sad.
I know you’re right but 💕💕💕
Everywhere it's everywhere I just can't get away from it. I finally did and cried myself to sleep for 2 hours. I didn't think this would hurt as much. But a part of me died yesterday
Jan Nix people impact us in many ways , even if we haven’t physically met them. People should mourn how they deem fit. I don’t think it’s right to police or tell how someone else should feel.
Anyone who's ever lost a best friend knows exactly how Tracy feels
Facts brother
D From Dayton Yup
My best friend was shot in the head smh......the pain can be so unreal some days even though it's been a couple years.
E.R my close friend got shot in the head on Wednesday smh. Man life is so unpredictable
@@E.R225 Stay strong my brother and celebrate his life, especially through how you live yours - He's with you. One love.
She did a good job of reeling his comment about dying young, back in. He would have definitely faced backlash for letting that statement out. The way she handled it was first class.
Ikr?!?! Totally....Kudos to her!!!!
I doubt anyone would see this clip of McGrady and feel the need to direct any anger towards him
Jon Mack why thy will angry to tracy?
Agreed...
Jon Mack lmao you're on the internet. People be crazy!
Didn't realize Kobe and Tracy were this close.. Oh man, this is shattering and heartbreaking!
Kobe referred to T-mac as the guy who challenged him the most ("He could do anything I could, but he was taller" his words), that coming from the godlike competitor Kobe was, speaks volumes about their friendship and love.
If you search Kobe and teach McGrady there is a 2 part interview with them that’s great.
Tracy McGrady been backing Kobe up for years in the goat MJ and Lebron conversations
@@kevinbrown1688 Done bro.. Many thanks!
@@Honestlytruth You are absolutely right bro. Just realized that now- the deep connection
"Those times when you get up early... those times when you stay up late... when you're too tired... you don't want to push yourself, but you do it anyway. That is actually the dream."- KB
This is straight facts. May Kobe live in our hearts forever ❤️ 🙏
Yep, He said "It's the journey". That's the Dream, because it gets you to where you wish to be.
Art Vandelay dude what is your problem
Art Vandelay um he died it’s about how Kobe made a impact on so many people life you probably don’t love basketball because you said this
@Art Vandelay chill man what is wrong with you?
This is the day in history where the greatest number of grown men, around the world, have cried together for the past 24 hours. Who knew? That, of all people... It was gonna be Kobe who was gonna make us all break down.
if you really think about it you might be right, i cried by myself last night just thinking about him. A lot of grown men (21-40 yr olds) grew up watching him play
RM still crying. Literally fell aslepp last night around 4am watching his highlights and ended up call ing sick. My boss msged me with a picture of kobe and says “no worries i’ll see you tomorrow”
@@rondoggish i am 40 and i cried...
Wow
All y’all are soft af😂🤣🤣 crying over a grown ngga y’all ain’t know
T-Mac was Kobe’s toughest challenge! These two had battles that only a true basketball fan can remember...even in all star games!
It was beautiful watching that duel everytime 😭❤
Kobe tmac debates 🔥 the best ever
Kobe said Tony Allen was his toughest opponent, he didn't even hesitate when they asked him. But T‐MAC was definitely his second toughest. I'll never forget watching there battles on the court back in the day. But it's so beautiful to see the brotherhood they had off the court
@@anthonyrodriguez625 For defending him. Head to head score for score tmac and kobe went at it. Similar scoring ability, almost similar in size, similar athleticism
Vince carter too
Interviewer : Who was the player you had most trouble guarding? KB : Tracy McGrady, he had all the quality of basketball.
It took me forever to watch this clip! Wasn't a Kobe fan but we all lost on that Sunday! ALL OF US!!
Arch Vile oh its nc to know thyre great friends
Tmac was incredible
Donchanli11 hey didn’t Kobe get knocked out for 2 seasons too? Can’t just say T Mac was the only one who got the injuries,
@@heatlakerfan4148 Tmac suffered more injuries than Kobe and another thing was he doesn't have superior teammates aside from Yao which the team would rely on him for almost 40 minutes alone.
TMac and Kobe is friendship goals. 💪When TMac was talking about how Gigi is the exact copy of Kobe just broke my heart. 💔 Mamba Forever. 💛💜
Adventurer right!! Go watch the video of gigi doing her dads fade-away is priceless
Mine to, I actually saw this when it aired today on The JUMP.
T-Mac is definitely the most emotional from any former player talking about Kobe. They had similar skill-sets. I get sad already just looking at Trae Young and Shareef O'Neal tweets.
Shareef's tweet about talking with Kobe that morning is just heartbreaking.
Ja Merciful facts McGrady and Kobe are scorers but Kobe was a better defensive player and has the most defensive selections out of any guard.
@@prezian1312kobe defense was good but michael was better defensively
@Yahsone who Kobe
@Yahsone Who's is?
Kobe is an angel, his assignment was completed on a glorious but painful ending .
Yes I Agree R.I .H. Kobe and Gianna
Yes God Has These 2 Kobe and Gianna God bless you Too ,Stay Strong God bless you
Angel ?I wouldn't say that buddy
She interviewed them together and now she interviewed him alone
😪
Heartbreaking...
Its hard to remember that his alone and he lost his very closed friend
I was watching that interview before this one 💔
Kobe was still there with them, looking down on them
“Tracy Mcgrady was the hardest person to guard”- Kobe Bryant
Is this supposed to be profound?
boruto is trash thats not what he was saying bud
Nice username lol, wassup
They went at it!
@@theobald123 showing the respect wasn't one-sided
Here's a story that I'll remember Kobe by. My friend in Maine loved Kobe, and my friends Dad worked border control for an airport. Well Kobe was on the itinerary for a flight coming back from Italy. So he called my friend and told him Kobe was going to be landing there. Well my friends Dad asked Kobe if he'd spend a sec with his son for a pic. Well he ended up spending 20 minutes with him. Kobe gave a regular Joe 20 minutes of his busy life to a relative nobody. That meant everything to my friend.
@Darth Insidius Pretty horrible comment. We're you looking for shock value?
@Darth Insidius oh yours is coming muppet and it will be allot worse! enjoy your sad pathetic life that aint worth a dam..
Tensions in here
Darth Insidius that’s awful, why think that way, sad!
@@sherryhunt3995 just a Troll with nothing going on in life looking to get a rise, probably getting off on the couple of replys, heavens knows what that muppet would get up to if not on social media baiting people for a little fix..
*”Don’t worry about that Uncle Mac I got this.”* 🥺😭
Dude that one hit hard 😭
" She had the fadeaway. At 13 years old..." 😢 ❤️ Thank you Tmac for these words. ❤️ Kobe & Gigi Forever ❤️
This one was the toughest interview to watch. Especially when he started talking about Gigi...
That part got me in tears man. Its so so sad.
Horrible acting....where the tears? Just a scrunched up napkin
@@majesty774 really man pay some respect
Shone Mursea shut up, do you see his eyes he has cried to much already. This is a real man and real tears. What does he have to act out.
@@majesty774 Do you have a disability that prevents you from understanding human emotion
“From your home” with his personal bball court in the background what a legend
Ha foreaal
The guy made over 100 million dollars...the court probably didnt evne cost 1 mil. so not surprised.
It could be a wallpaper, you never can tell
@@NXDhero this his real gym, u can tell by the halfcourt art
NXDhero Nah u can hear that gym echo😂
“don’t worry about that Uncle Mac, I got this” is what had me. We love you Mac, love you Kobe
That was definitely hard, I had to pause this video. I was shocked T-Mac was able to go on after that....
nobody could imagine how a basketball player could have an impact on people's life.
Well even if you not into Basketball . Just remembering seeing young Kobe when he first drafted into the NBA. And thereafter, glimpse of him on TV, watching him grow into the Man of His retirement. One of the greatest Basketball Players of all time. Drew some to grieve his death. Continue RiParadise all in this horrific tragedy.
Out of all the stars I heard speak, T Mack really touch my heart with his love and pain for Kobe.
Doc Rivers too.
Spencer Dinwiddle too
Cuz Mac and Kobe we’re brothers at the beginning of their career I remember seeing a small doc on them too pretty sure they were being interviewed by Rachel that was only a couple months ago.
Yup Kobe ain't never done 13 in 35 like TMac done did.
You forgetting D Wade. He was broken over his insta stories
I've had this avatar for 12 years on youtube. I'm so sad right now
rspkk0 I saw that one video of yours 😢
🙏
@@portergranger so sorry man..... we are all hurting so much
at first i didn’t know if you were fr.. then i checked your profile and seen your vid from 11 years ago about Kobe too.. life is tough man 😔
Nice loyalty
Just wish his daughter hadn't been in that heli for her to continue her dad's legacy but only God knows why she had to go too
None of us have the answer no matter how devestated & painful this "UNSEEN" adversary occured!!!!"The Enemy goes around like a roaring lion all the time!!!!let us ALL draw closer to the "Most High God Almighty"Let us exercise "Love,Care, forgiveness, togetherness etc as much as Possible!!!Signs and wonders are Fulfilling as the BIBLE Stated!These things are goin to happen in the Last days said God!!!! There's a Deep Lesson and wake up call magnifesting from this Situation!!!!!! "It's very touching,painful and devastating!To all the Family Best of HEALING,Faith,Comfort and my Love to all the family dealing with the Lost of Loved ones."SHALOM,SHOWERS OF HEALING, BLOSSOMS OF COMFORT AND VICTORY IN JESUS NAME I PRAY AMEN!!!!
I wish so too but she'd would be too depressed for a while... they were inseparable
She may not have been able to handle it honestly.
Potli Chwaane she wouldn’t have been able to live without him!
Sharon Robertson The answer is it was her TIME you heathen! 🙄🤦🏾♀️
Kobe was special bc he made EVERYONE have that feeling of " only I had this connection with Kobe" , he was such a special person. He made everyone think they their connection with him was unique.
Na'ah...him and T-Mac, that was a documented friendship. Kobe didn't have many...it was pretty much Caron Butler, T-Mac, Pau, and D-Fish.
Tmac was Kobe's best friend and Kobe let people know about it for over a decade. It was not an exaggeration by Tmac. Him and Kobe was like Bron and Wade.
Tmac is a real man. We all will miss Kobe and I cry when I see this. May all victims go to heaven....
@Ash Wolf what is you talkin
@Ash Wolf man he talking bout victims of death
Sadly Kobe wasn’t a believer but may he Rest In Peace and live in our hearts forever ❤️ 🙏
@@chase6708 Why sadly? It just shows he was an educated, strong man. Will be missed. ❤️
ChaseClary TikToks i thought he was? didn’t he use his catholic faith and talk to God to help him with his problems in 2003-2004?
I can’t finish the interview. Anybody with kids can’t even imagine this.
King Willie my heart aches for his wife and kids. What a tragedy.
Devestating. Especially trying to explain to them why we are crying
I have 3 girls and one who went to college on a basketball scholarship. Even though Kobe did way more than I could ever dream of on the court, he was in my exact position pushing his 13 year old daughter on and off the court. I can see all of the excitement, smiles before the games, pep talks on the way to games, watching his daughter be a silly teen with her friends while enjoying life. It is all a father could hope to be a part of and to have that along with everything else stripped away is just too much to bear.
Man I'm still trying to process all this as a bball player, dad of 2 daughters, husband, and all....my imagination cant even reach that far of how it feels for the families
If your kids are about to get into a helicopter and the authorities and police department say it isn't safe enough to fly and all helicopters are grounded for safety reasons, don't let them fly. Tell them to drive and save their life
Kobe’s dreams were fulfilled, goals were accomplished& his love touched the world. Rest in love, King Kobe 👑and princess GiGi
And princess Gigi u forgot to say
do not idolize this man....Jesus Christ is the only King and SAVIOR......
Dane Spartacus I went and corrected that, thanks
poppyhimbo I didn’t come to judge or be judged, only to offer condolences and the reference to the word king was merely my preference, I believe I know Jesus and idolatry is more than words, it’s in everyday actions such as too many hours on your cellphone commenting on posts trying to appear to be something you’re not... instead of taking time to work on your own deficiencies and correct your own errors. I don’t need a teacher nor do I need you to act as if you can change my life with your one comment, YOU CANNOT. Go spread love not discord.
I really think the Lord took them together because in life their souls couldn't live without each other xoxo I'm so so sad
Everytime I see any of these NBA Players speak of Kobe. And shed tears, it breaks my heart. Because you know that it's all Genuine and Unconditional Love.
“don’t worry about me uncle mac, I got this.” When I heard that, I just couldn’t hold back. Kobe’s death just hit so hard, like a brick and I didn’t even know him. I can’t even imagine what Vanessa and the kids are going through.
Bro this hurts so badly man..smh

@@mrcalicowest3370 what's wrong with you
So painful to watch, I mean, how can anyone close to Kobe and Gigi ever get over this? 💔💔💔💔
I don’t think you ever get over losing someone you love. You don’t get over it you get through it.
When he said “she has a fade-away” got me!!!
J Rodriguez on god
thanks to the grand daddy MJ
J D na thanks to her dad
J D thanks to kobe
When he said “she was a young kobe” a second coming of a goat he could tell she had that mamba mentality
Who else crying along with T.MAC 💔💔💔😢😢😢😭😭😭
Me😢
Me
😭😭😭
The was a tremendous kick in the feels 😭
Man.. this is hard to watch.😭💔
She saved this interview. Shes right the latest Kobe we had, had a different mindset.
U don't know that on any level. She just did that to lessen the blow of the world knowing Kobe was a covetous nut. Thank God for Tmac
@@Alkiel nooo he said it himself. At first it was about legacy; being the G.O.A.T. Then it became about how his motivation to be the best could motivate others to be the best in what they were trying to achieve. EVERYONE has a little crazy in them, and Kobe channeled it the correct way. So chiiilll
@@christiantorres8858 if u say so. but this interview helped me a whole lot with my grief. I cut that short!
Kobe once mentioned Tmac as the one who gave him the most trouble. These absolute titans shared a rare, unique connection forged through the highest levels of competition in a field. Incredible contenders.
Legends are forever. May Kobe and Gianna rest in power, peace, and heaven
That's if they were saved by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ by being born again and have a relationship with him. I must tell you the truth. Not everybody that dies automatically go to Heaven. His word is Final and he changes not.
@@stopitskiiiuuup4006 they obviously weren't "saved by the blood of Christ" or they wouldn't be dead.
STOP IT SKIIIUUUP foh w your religion
@@stopitskiiiuuup4006 I mean everything you're saying is true but come on man! There's a time and a place! Don't correct ppl while they mourn. No one likes that! It's disrespectful man.
STOP IT SKIIIUUUP I heard Kobe repented a couple of years ago to Christianity so he should be fine hopefully
The raw emotion from T-Mac makes you appreciate Kobe Bryant even more
you never see Tracy like this this shouldn’t have happened
The pain on Tracy's face... 💔
When he started talking about Gigi, it hurt my heart 💜 💛
It’s like the pain hits you in waves, then seeing grown men cry jus hits harder😞😢
I've had to turn off all access to televisions and internet. This is painful to watch.💔😥🕊🙏

Shows how good of a man kobe was not just a basketball player. A man
@@brwnshuga09 lol, you are here using internet
@Viking system vikingfitness Ahhh duhhh.... thank you for kindly pointing that out. YES I KNOW I'M BACK....I SAID I TOOK A BREAK.

I read somewhere here in youtube that going home safe, is an underrated blessing. Tell your love ones you love them everyday.
You said it best!
What if you can't because the one you love, doesn't love you anymore?
@@samoslich8131 say it anyways. At least they'll know. But totally get what you meant.
Liquid Ocelot This comment just hit different
That's why I love no one. Life is good that way.
My cousin is a huge Star Trek fan. I heard a quote in a movie that Bones said in the film: "He's not really dead, as long as we remember him." and Kobe will forever be remembered as a basketball legend for sure.
Nothing better than hearing old memories from one of his greatest friends. This helps.
I’ve legit never seen this many tough men show vulnerability like this on any celebrity death. Kobe and his daughters death is shattering
Ikr
Gene S they spent 30 plus years playing together or against each other, they got that bond, they all are like brothers
Seriously! So heartbreaking
When he mentioned gigi I broke. Poor girl man. She was just 13 years old. She was going to be huge!!! Why? Why?!!! *WHY???!!!!!!*
Francisco because life is fragile
Not even a huge wnba fan but she was on her way to possibly become the best women’s basketball player of all time, could have changed the landscape for young female athlete’s
I'm sorry man its life
U no stuff like this,makes u question certain things about life and if there is an afterlife n nothing makes sence 2 me at the monent
Moment
Still hurts.
I wasn’t around to see Magic Johnson. I’m barely old enough to remember Jordan. Kobe was our basketball superhero. Seeing the things he did on the court. The relentlessness. The heart. The will. The mentality. As a Laker fan, seeing Kobe compete and win is something I’ll never forget. LA misses you. Basketball misses you and the world misses you. We love you. We love Gigi. God bless Vanessa and the families affected. 💜💛🐍
I Grew Up In The Era Where Michael Jordan Played
Man..... this is rough. Everytime I see one of these players talking and crying, I break....... and his daughter......lord..... help his family and the others that lost their loved ones.... 😭😭
its ok man, be happy..... they helped keep death rates a lil more diverse, and you know as well as everyone else or BETTER,...... diversity is GREAT! thanx KOBE!
Did you know that emoji means high five not prayer (just telling)
Same.
My dad is 51 but he cried like a baby when he found out :(( this is a devastating news..
Real and GROWN men cry. Its okay to cry and let out emotions. Sending a big hug to your pops! 🙏🏼✌🏼💙➕
I was going to like your comment but I'd rather leave the likes at 81

i'm 53 and still crying...
Man my dad did too he was sick....and his birthday was the very next day I really didn’t know what to say to him....my heart goes out to everyone especially the families of the victims along with Kobe and Gigi ❤️❤️❤️
so sad to miss Kobe , Daughter Gina and his Friends... Living in a remote corner of INDIA........i feel very privileged to live in an Era of Icons,,,,like Lennon , James Brown , MJ ,, Prince ,, George Michel ,,, Paul Walker ,,, Jackie Joyner Kersey,, Freddie ,,, Kobe..... so so sad...
This is really sad, I was crying watching this interview. I really fell his pain.
I was thinking about how bad T-Mac must feel after I heard about Kobe’s death
They just did a video with this announcer a few weeks ago.
@Francis Uriel I checked it out 3 weeks ago just search on here for Kobe and McGrady interview
Even shaq
and Shaq, he is a tough man but he is a sensitive and emotional man inside, everyone knows he loves Kobe even they don't express their feelings to each other
eduardo pardo Caron Butler too man
“Don’t worry Uncle Mac I got this” That almost made me cry

Dang “almost”
i can't hold my tears 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
@@slimtim1782 it is a bot dont bother
That little girl was indeed special. She was Kobe all over again. That was his child, 100%! She was born with the Mamba mentality.
I've watched many interviews about how others remembered Kobe and I must say this is the most touching. You can feel the love and hurt TMac has. 💔 wow so touching .
Rachel is so beautiful inside and out, u can tell she wants 2 hug her brother
I remember me and the homies would argue Kobe vs T-Mac for hours at the lunch table, the world just lost a special man
dakidjahsiah same
Will Murphy ahhh yes. The memories. Use to been on and poppin when one of the homies bring up “ Kobe ain’t scoring 13 points in 33 seconds! “ then somebody gonna hit you with “ T-Mac ain’t finna drop 81 points “ Rest in Paradise Kobe along aside with GiGi and to the others who lost their lives in the accident.
dakidjahsiah me too my sister was Kobe lol I still have T-Macs jersey. My heart breaks for him.
If Tmac didnt have all those injuries he would be a top 10 all time player
Of everyone, Kobe credited T-Mac as his hardest match-up.
When you’ve contemplated suicide and didn’t want to live it’s times like this that you realize if other ppl could live they would. It’s so selfish of me to think that way sometimes. I want live and live life fully like Kobe. I want to wake up everyday and love what I do and inspire ppl. Thank you Kobe. Thank you God for life.
Death gives meaning to life. Life is the greatest gift, but sometimes we take it as granted.
Yes! Keep your head up and be positive! Don't give up on God! He still has a purpose and plan for your life!
Keep fighting brother. Everybody has a purpose on this earth, in this lifetime. God bless u!!! 🙏
Thank you all for beautiful encouragement, there is still beauty in humanity.
This is exactly what I came to terms with
I'm still shock wow even kobe said tthe hardest player he guard was Tracy MGRACY both my favorite
Kobe always had crazy respect for Mcgrady cuz he knew he was special too
That "oh god" when t-mac hears kobe's wife's name.. it's like he's thinking "forget about my grief, vanessa and the girls need my support"
That's what hurts the most is when you think about the wife and the kids that are left behind... I pray for there family and ask God to give them strength
Only NBA player I heard mention Kobe’s parents. Good job Tracy.
That let's you know they were real friends
Kareem did too
Team Dunk kobe’s parents renegade Kobe’s wife
Even his sisters
Kobe hadn't spoke to his parents in 3yrs
We love you Kobe I named my son after you I love you bro he gone make it too
Kobe is like "when y'all coming to heaven, I was already there doing 2nd round workout Mamba mentality
"UNCLE MAC!" You cannot say anything after that!
Honestly. Even TMac himself struggled to keep talking after that comment
when he said Uncle Mac that was finisher for me. Gigi been robbed of chance to become a great and Kobe been robbed to continue being a great in everything outside ball.
Alastair Wood robbed by who ?
By the Creator?

Same here bro. Unreal. Still not real when you read the headline
Exactly!!!!! The fact that players like Bill Russel Big O Jerry West and many more are still living and doing well today and Kobe just passed too soon man!!! Prayers to the family
Feels like a movie, the brain refuses to accept it
Right
Well believe it
This is like a bad dream I can’t wake up from
And we're all sharing it with you man. We all just gotta remember that there are families right now with much more profound losses than we have now, and we gotta stay strong for them.

A REAL NIGHTMARE.

YES LIFE IS MYSTERY AND WILL REMAIN SO. NOBODY HAS ANSWERS ,CHEERS.
Kobe will forever live on .never gone
"Dont worry uncle Mac i got this.." always gets me :(
I absolutely love T-Mac. Hurts to see him like this.
Rest in peace kb
This is the most genuine interview I've seen. And Kobe had a little Tupac in him. Even Bruce Lee also said he wanted to go before he got old and lost his ability.
So true, all 3 were great and special at what they do and beyond... just like Tupac and Lee, his legacy will inspired so many others. His Legacy will live forever
3 LEGENDS!!
They're real friends.
Even in death....he got what he wanted.
I keep connecting troublesome 96 towards Kobe
These are people that knew Kobe as an athlete and friend so they are really hurt!!
Scorpion and Sub Zero, brothers for life
Been waiting for T-Macs response cuz that’s Kobe’s best friend so I knew that’d be hard for him 😔🙏🏽
Ok I admit I'm crying.
Andrew K same :/
We're here crying with you brotha
Same here bruh :(
Me too man. Me too. And it’s ok, you’re not alone bro. I cried yesterday when I found out and I cried again earlier today.
I ugly cried last night watching Kobe’s first championship interview post game it’s ok my guy
Still watching this thinking of Kobe
People your words are powerful. Kobe spoke dying young into existence. Sad. But he died a great legend and a great father
Whenever someone mentions Kobe Bryant I start crying😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Why? Did you know him? He is not God. I liked jim too but thats idol worshipping
kobe bryant
Same here 😭😭😭
kobe bryant..cry now pls.
😪💔
Nah......I still cant accept the fact that Kobe is gone....somebody wake me up from this nightmare
Chris J Productionz you’re not alone
Chris J Productionz I’m wit ya brother
For real, absolutely can not be real
He’s gone bro now it’s time to move on and make something out of your life like Kobe talked
Same
I love Kobe, why did u speak this into existence mannnnnnn
It doesnt actually work like that though. If Kobe said I wanna live 130 years, would he live that long? Its coincidence
T-Mac is my favourite analyst of the NBA. He's so smart and has such a big heart. Please uncle Mac carry on with Kobe's legacy. We need now you more than ever. 💔😭
These two were my main shooting guards in nba live in playstation 1.
For real bro, i used to always have both of em matchup
Facts!!!!
Word!
jose martin andes for me it was nba live 2005 malfunk!! Eastern division vs western division!
It is cool. You can still use them both.
Best interview in this situation. His pain was really felt, so was Doc Rivers, and Jerry West too.
Yacub Helm Brian Shaw too

@@ethereal.airbrush yeah, that Jay Williams interview had me in my feels.
Spencer dinwiddie’s had me tearin up as well
Yeah
Mac still look like young boy, stay strong my man God Bless🙏🏾🙏🏾
This is raw emotion I remember the first death as an adult when you talk you cry and laugh you smile it’s too much I wish life wasn’t this way
“Go out there and kill” “Don’t worry about that uncle Mac I got this” I’m in pieces right now
Yeah. I'm wounded by that
man.. that momment he totally broke.. a Tmac is a true brother indeed
Definitely sounds like Kobe's daughter...too soon.
His story killed me. I couldn't finish watching
I don’t show emotion but that got me.
Kobe after retirement actually got to live life and he was genuinely SO HAPPY! Just look at Tmac and Kobe together...
An amazing example of true love for a friend and a brother
Seeing this rn. This still hits hard. When your rival dies, a piece of you dies with him.
When he said she called him Uncle MAC it hit me so hard
@Jaleel Og doesn't tracy have 5 daughters and a son?.
I believe only 4 girls
Crazy to think Kobe used to say ' I wanna die young" 😱😭😢😭😭 R.i.P Mamba You are truly Immortalised
@Dats a paddlin Truth with what you said.. Once you get older your thought pattern changes...
A lot of us when we were young said that. It’s a young thing to say.
GABRIEL KOOMSON Words have power
Kyng Symba words repeated with belief have power. Not saying something half assed when you’re young to sound cool 😎 gtfo bro. I’ll have a billion dollars in 2 years. There,those words will now magically make me a billionaire.
The tongue is powerful wow
Memories is what breaks everybody down Kobe in our minds forever
Nice to hear from 1 of his truly good friend's from early on in his career.
I Got So Much Respect I Love How T-Mac Broke It Down Full Of Love About Kobe and His Family God Bless You T-Mac Keep Your Head Up In Jesus Name
Reggie McCoy hey, Jesus should’ve stopped that helicopter from crashing with those vulnerable/helpless people on it
Reggie McCoy Amen 🙏🏾
