S.I. Kids Reporter Max Bonnstetter Interviews Kobe Bryant
/ fallontonight
No one will ever be Kobe Bryant ever. Rest in peace, man.
No one can ever be anyone. Hence why they’re aren’t clones of people and even then it’s not the same
Mike Jones Bro, just go shit in a hat. You know what I mean
@@mikejones1515 what do you mean???
@@mikejones1515 your such a prick
Guys, what he said was dumb but don’t team up on people over the internet.
Alot of kids lost their hero. Makes you think about life.
RIP to the GOAT
I still have his jersey... I used to wear it at every training session (I used to play basketball in Italy). I would dream at night of him coming to our gym and being my friend. He is a legend and will never be forgotten. We love you Kobe.
Yup. It made me realize that if kobe can go theres no greater power keeping me here. It makes you want to be great.
Youre right man. But Not only kids. Adults as well. Invluding me. Such a tragic accident... RIP Kobe Gianna and 7 others on board
True😭😭😭..... why did even Jan.26.2020 come?
“Who’s the next Kobe Bryant”? There will never be another Kobe Bryant.
True that my friend!!
@Maher Justice thats right. I always thought who is the next Michael Jordan. I never quite found the answer but I found a similar one. Now I was asking who will be the next Kobe. You answer my question.
can't replace some people ever
Jayson Tatum and Luka Doncic have the best chance imo
Everyone is unique which makes it that much more interesting. If we were all the same then how fun would that be? I don't want another me, or KOBE, or MJ, Shaque, Magic, nor anyone else. I want to see another human that can do their own thing in their own way.
Kobe being a Girl Dad, singing Disney songs... whatta man! The last person you’d ever expect to lose in the world. Only the good die young.
Gabrielle Lont you just contradicted yourself lmao
I know and it sucks that they have to go so soon 😥
Horrible to think yet very true
Sadly it Is true that only the good die young meanwhile all these pedophiles and killers who deserve to die don’t
they love to sacrifice the good-hearted
imagine being this kid right now. that would hurt. god bless them all.
Hopefully theres someone around him that can give him a nice warm hug
Imagine being Kobe’s Kid 😭😭😭💔💔💔
That's what I was thinking especially when Kobe was rubbing the kids back
On Max's twitter he posted a video of Kobe talking about Gianna. He was Max's hero.
I was thinking of that too
The kid will never forget this interview. RIP MAMBA
Luis Villafan that’s for sure💔
He's gonna remeber this until the last day of his life
Oh yeah, they bought beer together when they were youngsterz
He went to my elementary and middle school. He was 3 years behind me
The way Kobe and Jimmy are interacting, you can tell they were true friends.
Kobe said they go back to when they both like 18
W.B S. Yeah it was lol
Ramzes Empire kobe was 17 Jimmy was 21
@@ballon_hyf9777 thanks for the fact check lol
Y would kobe actually spend time off interviews with falon , it was just professionalism
He seemed to not mind interacting with kids, being around them wanting to see them achieve, genuine human being
oooh my big sorry deep in my heart
Yeah he seemed to enjoy passing on knowledge of bball and life
Yea true lol
I am observing Jimmy got a real laugh whenever He is around with Kobe
It sounds as fake as always
@@vika0194 not fake he told this story before and Jimmy has a lot of stories considering he's the tonight show host and he's been famous since his SNL days just watch his story about the SNL 40th anniversary after party
Sam707BFBC already watched it
They really know each other
Victor why do you even what his channel? Are you a troll?
Today is the first saddest day of 2020 . Rip Kobe Bryant .
You do not know what will happen later..."saddest day" hmph. Rip Kobe tho
Ricardo Bullefer I said the first , first ok
@@lauraavendano9195 Oh, my apologies, g!
@ricky roach ikr..so sad
Shilo Thorp Well , for me was the first saddest day . For me ok .
His personality was something special. He made everyone around him feel special. R.I.P.
Omg what a guy soooo loving charismatic charming on on on on ♥️♥️♥️
People can’t believe he’s gone because legends never die.
LEGENDS NEVER DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
J.R for the 40000000th time. That’s the number of comment that I had to correct saying that he’s not dead. kzhead.info/sun/lJ2llr2yeWVmfY0/bejne.html. This link proves that he jumped out of the plane before it went to the ground
@@ArJayDM FACTS
hes alive and well, and so is gigi and the rest who were in the plane. will they rest in paradise
@@McDzy and how will they go to heaven without dying?
Kobe is the only man in NBA who could say “ for crying out loud” and still sound cool. He was worldly, and educated and he was simply different from the rest...
"then the rest..." Imma leave that alone....
Different from the rest because he’s dead now
@B Babbich am I supposed to answer to you? I didn't get that memo...so I won't. 🤷🏾♀️
different from
“For sure” Kobe always said that too.
what a talented young man
Who Kobe?
He's like 38 years old?
He's like 40
Jay She's talking about the kid
tham pun I wouldn't exactly call someone who's 38 a young man.
This kid is ahead of his time, it’s like he has a 20-something-year-old’s mind when he asks questions. RIP Kobe
A-head
meh the questions he asked were all basic except in the video
Ervin Fidelis Yes, bud the way he delivered them was very professional. He sounded like an adult professional interviewer.
@@jiveassturkey8849 which is very easy to do. Nothing special.
Ervin Fidelis this dude so pressed cause he never achieved what this kid had at 13 years old 💀💀
This kid came in asking all the appropriate questions without being overly excited to be in Kobe's presence. He's going to have a interesting story to tell his future kids about his encounter with the GOAT. Rest in Peace Kobe🙏💔
How does a 13 year learn to speak like that. I don't think I even spoke at 13 lmao
faboze i think you are stupid
thanks
faboze ur funny mate ;)
he speaks like an average 13 year old who didnt grow up with absent minded parents
faboze ... While I agree regarding the point about absent-minded parents (well done ;))... this boy is rather exceptional. Especially to show such poise and articulation on the Tonight Show... with cameras... in front of millions. And, imho his questions are more intriguing than a lot of other seasoned sports reporters. Instead of simply echoing the same ol same ol inquiries, he seems to dig deeper a bit and asks fun and compelling questions. He likely doesn't have the pressure of the next headline, though I suppose, so he probably enjoys more luxury in that department than other reporters. Cheers xo
Who came here after Kobe Bryant tragic and shocking demise. :( Rest in peace legend
S T F U No one cares about you being thirsty for likes
@@Seggs-dj1rw You are a sad person!
You are literally a sick fuck
@@Seggs-dj1rw that response sounds like someone who's thirsty for likes ?
Unfortunately it wasn't recommended to me until now
He stand up just shake his hands. He is totally filled with respect . Rip Legend 💔🙏
Adem Şavluk that’s the first thing I noticed too man...he didn’t care if it was a kid he showed respect..fuck man we lost a great one for sure
Man, what a guy. I’ve got a 13 year old basketballing son who came home over the moon at the start of the season when he got no.24 in the senior team because it was his hero’s Kobe. He’s been muted for days it’s really hard trying to explain that life is short so take what’s good from it, be nice and just love those around you. To the GOAT Kobe, Gianna & the other 7 souls RIP.
marlygee1 i feel sorry for your boy and for me and for the rest of the world mourning for the greatest kobe
This kid is so smart. He come up with great questions.
what is the point commenting several times on the same video ?? are you paid for ?
Not really, I just leave a comment whenever I think of something. That's all. Have a good day!
Mohamed Farouk Dude, do you have a job or not. You just watch and comment on talk show videos all day
why tf u guys care if he keeps commenting ^??
Keep thinking and investigating.
Watching this in hindsight, this kid had a moment no other kid will ever get. Memorable to begin with, but now just amazing. Kobe was great with him too.
He got to talk to him this past year at his home as well
Kid: "Who is the NEXT KOBE BRYANT?" World: No one will replace that. Kid. He is the only one.
Rizky Arifin facts
Me: crying over his death KZhead recommendations: here this’ll help
Right?! It's been torture since 26 Jan😭
Funny enough I actually searched for this video so this video was not recommended
Joshua Yim for the 500th comment time, he’s not dead. kzhead.info/sun/lJ2llr2yeWVmfY0/bejne.html. This link proves it
Thanks to The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon, Kobe and the entire crew! This was a great experience and I truly appreciate it. And, Coach Frank Martin is the best.
Max Hoops You did a great job!
Thanks!
What an intelligent, well-spoken young gentleman!
You did a fantastic job up there buddy! Keep it up dude!
Max Hoops good job max! See you in school!
This kid will be the future of sports journalism and talk shows.
He shook the kids hand with 2 hands....thats a sign of respect and genuine personality. The guy is honourable as it gets
Kobe and this kid stayed in touch after and we’re friends for years:( he must be hurting
Lauryn Blake how do you know that they kept in touch after this interview?
@@spider-man-100 max_bonn is his Instagram
😘😭
That's not true but ok
@@LILtooNAUGHTY it actually is true and they have tweeted eachother since this video
Maybe he can interview Jimmy and ask about his fake laugh LOL
Aliyah Zaidi lol even his wife be complaining kzhead.info/sun/Z9CPj8ZoqIxsgIk/bejne.html
Aliyah Zaidi watch charisma on command, it isn’t fake. he just had to learn how to turn it off in a second on snl among other things
Rusty Spoon sounds interesting what you talking about 🤔
He can also ask about his constant interruptions towards his guests
Ask about your saltiness. Are you just jealous he is on the tonight show and you are complaining on KZhead
This child is lucky to meet Kobe Bryant it must’ve touched him about what happened yesterday
It broke my heart when the kid told him "But golf is a sport you can play for life......" RIP Kobe.....
This kid... Parents did a god job...
Just really shows how beautiful kobes soul is. He really was building a foundation of confidence and strength for this young man's dream career. What a gift kobe was and will continue to be.
this was too adorable...this kid is going to have the memory forever
bobby cole he’s going to have all of his memories forever, look how big his fuckin head is
Kobe was so warm to that kid, I'm sure it's a memory that he will remember forever
Just heard Jimmy’s story of how he and Kobe met during his monologue after Kobe’s passing. Now I know where their chemistry came from
No ones the next Kobe Bryant. Period.
I would argue that Westbrook is the next Kobe because he takes over the game a lot and has the same mentality as Kobe and knows how to stay healthy or recover from injuries. They both take a lot of shot attempts that are often forced and shoot under 50%
BRBallin1 totally agree with you
BRBallin1 Westbrook can't make threes
Demolish Devon booker could be
closest player to Kobe is probably Kawhi or Westbrook
I've known people who knew Jimmy in L.A. before he was famous. His laugh is EXACTLY the same. All of them swear to it. IT is Not sure why so many people are always saying it's fake. I think he just more alive than all of you. Kobe, you were an amazing guy, rest in peace to you and your daughter and everyone on that helicopter.
Listening to Kobe talk and hearing his voice has become very therapeutic for me. He was at peace in his retirement: it’s obvious. The great thing about the time we live in is that media’s coverage ensures that there will be plenty of content to look back on when people pass-plenty of quotes and funny stories. Influential people are digitally scattered throughout the web.
Rest in piece Kobe, Gianni and every one else involved in this devastating accident, we won’t forgot you
The kid was amazing! A natural amongst a champion who has no ego! Just a regular guy! The world will miss Kobe Bryant! The kid has a bright future 🏀
This kid will never forget that interview. PRICELESS. (He said he wasn't paid) but will be his most priceless. God Bless You
Kobe and Jimmy singing Disney together is everything!! 💗💗💗
Kobe is already my favorite basketball player of all time but him singing those Disney songs just elevated my love for this dude. Mamba mentality in basketball and singing #GOAT
17GIOVANILOPEZ I feel sad seeing your comment now that he is gone to eternity. This is a lovely glimpse of Kobe. I had never seen it before now. Blessings from California. 🏰🏀👑💝🎶
That little boy is so cute and polite lol omg 😭
this kid probably didn't see Kobe in his prime, but you can still see how much he respects him. Great kid. RIP Kobe!
His kids will dearly miss watching Disney with him 😢
Allen L Ahh , you’re so right . And I feel so sad that the baby can’t even walk yet and lost her precious daddy . At least the tiny ones will bring joy and laughter to Vannesa and their sister Natalia. Hope I got her name correct . 👑🏀🏰💝🧸
Ahh these things just are too sad! ☹😔😢 such a beautiful family. And today's valentine's day. Hope vanessa is coping okay ❤
"but Golf is a sport you play for life" Those are some wise words given by the little man...
I wish i had that kind of confidence at 13. wow.
Armeen Yazdi unless he starts smoking weed
bro kids with potential and have things going for them should stay the fuck away from weed. its not worth the risk. the only reason u say that is because u prolly were a little bitch boy and the weed did wonders for u.
recipioct You are definitely not the brightest tool in the shed. With how common weed is, there is actually a chance this can happen. What you listed are things that are extremely unlikely. Damn your logic is so fucked, i feel a little bad for you
Swaggy Squid It was your stupid logic that started this.
Swaggy Squid nah your the dumbass it’s more likely for him to become a alcoholic because of peer pressure and the fact that there are a lot more alcoholics than weed heads
The man is king of cool, literally James Bond. I’ll miss you, Mamba...rest in peace everyone onboard. 🖤💔
I miss that smile. Kobe, u’ll remain in everyone’s heart.
RIP kobe you will never be forgotten
🥺my dad and cooper were a great fan and my brothers birthday was the 26 of jan and Kobe died that day he was heart broken Kobe he has always looked up to and and my brother is heart broken
@@megans2199 sorry to hear that Megan....
That child!! has the manners that all CHILDREN of earth should possess. That kid is definitely going places. Good on ya mate.
Daniel I just want nto you can open it on Tuesday only
Thats a moment that young man will remember for life.
His personality is dope for his age!! You’ll go far kid! This is a day he’ll never forget. #24/8
Max Bonnstetter has got to be devastated after hearing about Kobe today.
I am sure he has
Im sure he is. And he isnt alone
Its still hard too believe honestly. Accidents happen daily. But now too ppl of this statue. Thats whats so wild.
😭😭😭😭 Still can't believe he's gone. This man was a legend that transcended through time.
RIP KOBE AND HIS DAUGHTER AND EVERYONE ELSE IN THAT CRASH
Kobe singing How Far I'll Go is priceless. 😅 Still feels surreal that he's gone. #RIP
I miss Kobe 😭
Lonzo Ball Did you look into the future?
No naive child. He Foretold the future. We were just too distracted by Jimmy’s fake laugh to realize it.
That comment coming from 2 years ago is very eerie.
Rest in Peace Kobe Bryant Giana Bryant & Their friends
One of my FAVORITE KZhead videos. Not because of KB, but because a young man was respected for a question. Good luck and rip Kobe
This young man was very impressive.I am glad he got this chance.I am sure he will always remember and treasure it!!
What a personality man.... charming, handsome and absolutely hilarious. God I’m going to miss this guy.
they should have him on for all the athlete guests!
Max was in one of my presentation groups in high school for AP Seminar, in the year below me. Really smart guy, had great charisma. Last I heard, he announced he was going to Duke this coming fall!
This young kid is gonna grow up to be an adult, most likely become a professional journalist, and say he got to interview Kobe on the Tonight Show. Legendary. RIP Kobe.
This kid has more class then any host on TV rn
This kid is better than a lot of reporters in these post game conferences. I really enjoyed him.
What a lost! He was one of a kind player and an amazing human being Rest In Peace Mamba
I cried again when he mentioned watching Disney with his daughters... this aint fair man..
Very talented and gifted young man. Respectful and with a great attitude. Good things are coming for him.
Nazareth Simons unless he starts smoking weed
anyone else here after passing? rip
SplinterG ttv ...RIp black mamba and Gigi aka young mamba
Wow this video is history and 25 years from now max will be a big sports reporter while his 13 year old self interviewed a forever legend, Kobe Bryant 💜💛
Kid: would you rather be MVP or win a championship? Kobe: win a championship for sure. Kid: you deserve both every season. I would say that too. 😭
i cry when the kid say that
Lebron: "i would rather get a triple double and pass up on the last shot."
@Vang Xiong I guess his 4 championships and 10 finals appearances were for nothing huh?
It's hard not to like Kobe Bryant after this video. I've not always been a fan of his off-court choices... but the way he handled that kid was pretty darn cool. And, dang... that "kid" makes it easy. He's more articulate than many adults! What a bright future that young man has.
I feel like Kobe is one of the best interviews in sports during his career. Always a very thoughtful answer and very genuine. Good job by the SI kid.
This kid is 13 here. Kobe was only 4 years older when he went pro back in the days. RIP Kobe
He was so full of energy. I can’t believe he’s gone. Let’s be good to each other because we don’t know when will be our last day in this 🌎
Wish you well Max ! Cherish that interview, thank you for it . R.i.P Kobe .
Julio Eric Vazquez 🙏😔
Not a basketball fan... Not a Kobe fan... But watching these videos makes me respect the hell out of this Man....
Just watching kobe smile makes me cry
This kid is awesome!! Kobe was one of a kind!! RIP
I liked the way the kid talks, very respectful
Everywhere I go he’s there I really miss him
Confined Bread ikr I go to Facebook he’s there. I go to instagram he’s there.
Truly one brave & awesome kid that has the brightest future but to add to it what an awesome real sight of Kobe Bryant as ah person. We miss you dogg...One heart touch down 🙏🏽
Always was a big Kobe fan but really loved the more humbled, charismatic, older version of Kobe. Imagine if he showed some of that personality in his hey day
I'm 13 and I am just playing on my PS4 😂😂😂
I am 34 and I am doing the same
GCUBE MAGICO 19 and doing he same
GCUBE MAGICO same wtf are we doing 😂
Johan Reillo living the life :D
I am 61 ans I am doing the same, rock on fuckers
I wish I could go back and tell him not to ride the helicopter that day.
We all do 😔

Shut the fuck up , people die every minute on this planet .
Not all heroes wear capes!!!.. You know someone's a hero when they inspire the young and old.

Kobe Bryant The Definition Of Legendary
Amazing kid!! He wasnt even intimidated to go against Kobes first answers... he went "come on" to Kobe... just keep doing what you are doing kid... you have a great future ahead!
I'm a simple man. I see GOAT, I Click.
ikr I always click for the GOAT Jimmy
lol
Lakers Suck I didn't see Lebron? wtf

Was Lebron in the background I think I missed him?
Who’s watching this after he passed RIP Mamba
remember thinking 2019 was horrible...we were wrong. Miss you Kobe, Miss you grocery store without a mask, miss you normal world.
Me too 😭
That was GREAT! Imagine Max's elation at the time and looking back at this, and now the heartbreak that Max must feel today.🏀 Kobe really had a knack for making young people feel special. You can see it in Kobe's smile and his pats on the back, etc.. WHAT A CLASS ACT YOU WERE KOBE!!! RIP 🙏🦋
