Kobe passing away is one of the saddest moments in my life. Although I didn’t get to see this man play. I knew how good he was. All I heard was KOBE when shooting. Kobe Bryant is my favorite player of all time and plan on wearing the number 8. He is in heaven looking down at his family and friends with his daughter Gigi. I can’t believe that this man passed away, but despite not being there for his speech. His wife and his idol were there to celebrate his achievement instead. His presence was there and everyone could feel it. This man is a legend and will be a person I will talk about when I have kids.

lmao This woman posts every time she farts on social media. "I'm so uncomfortable being the center of attention." They'd have divorced in 2003 but for that $4 million down payment he put on her. She bribed him for even more money in 2013 to stay married. And after his tragic demise, she filled the void by suing and getting money from the blue collar workers who had to clean up the toxic dump site that resulted from her husband's stupid decision to fly to a little girl's basketball game. Anyone who's ever read about her knows that her and her mother were after money, and Kobe liked paying for hookers. She was the Queen of them all, and he had the deepest pockets. After this happened, everyone forgot the cheating, the near-divorce in 2011, the big old ring he bought her just to keep her married, and the continued cheating. This woman cared about his money. I've never seen any genuine emotion about his passing. Now her daughter? Absolutely. That one stings.

You can really see the anger in her eyes at the end, to go with her sorrow. More than a year has passed. She's justifiably so furious this happened to him and her daughter. She's also angry for the tragic loss she and her two daughters have suffered.
@eslgurucalif3 жыл бұрын
Why be furious? Chit happens to us all in life. Life is not all flowers and lollipops. It’s terrible what happened but many other people have faced much worse. She also has a lot of money to make her life easy, she’s not like some women who are left penniless when their husbands die and then have to go out and work two menial jobs to keep food on the table and a roof over her and her kids heads. Kobe would be alive today if he had just driven a car instead of helicoptering everywhere like he was Prince Charles or something. Also, why weren’t Pam and Jellybean invited on stage to say a few words about their son? The man is dead, bury the hatchet. I hope they are able to be a part of their grandchildren’s lives.

Kobe passing away is one of the saddest moments in my life. Although I didn’t get to see this man play. I knew how good he was. All I heard was KOBE when shooting. Kobe Bryant is my favorite player of all time and plan on wearing the number 8. He is in heaven looking down at his family and friends with his daughter Gigi. I can’t believe that this man passed away, but despite not being there for his speech. His wife and his idol were there to celebrate his achievement instead. His presence was there and everyone could feel it. This man is a legend and will be a person I will talk about when I have kids. R.I.P Black Mamba and the other passengers on the plane crash in Calabasas on January 26, 2020
Reading this makes you sound very young given you unfortunately didn’t get to see him play, however you are very well “spoken”. I feel sorry you didn’t get to see this legend play he was one of a kind. I was lucky enough to start watching basketball the year he won his 5th championship, I was only 9 and was still understandings the rules but I remember it like yesterday. Absolutely phenomenal.

Its May 2000 and I'm attending my first Lakers game at Staples. My dad did his best but we had nosebleed seats . That experience sticks with me because of being able to see KB and O'Neal on the court . THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!
My first laker game was is last game in New Orleans and took my Lil bro. And surprised him and wanted him to see a G.O.A.T and my favorite player in person. We sat 11th row from the floor. Felt like a lil kid again and my lil bro was having the time of his life. Definitely worth the prices of the tickets.
We knew he was gonna be HOF long ago . Legends Never Die . RIP Kobe Bryant. My generation of MJ.

I respect her strength & courage and send Vanessa, her girls and their family my best wishes for the future. Kobe sounds like he was an amazing dad to those beautiful girls and you can tell Vanessa adored him.
This must be incredibly difficult for Vanessa. She has always seemed like someone who isn't comfortable with being the center of attention. (Public Speaking is an introverts worst nightmare) but she does it. For her love of Kobe, his legacy, their children, and us, the fans. It's admirable. And appreciated.
If he had been inducted in 2019 just like he should have then she wouldn’t have to give this speech on his behalf! This is his speech to give not hers!
lmao This woman posts every time she farts on social media. "I'm so uncomfortable being the center of attention." They'd have divorced in 2003 but for that $4 million down payment he put on her. She bribed him for even more money in 2013 to stay married. And after his tragic demise, she filled the void by suing and getting money from the blue collar workers who had to clean up the toxic dump site that resulted from her husband's stupid decision to fly to a little girl's basketball game. Anyone who's ever read about her knows that her and her mother were after money, and Kobe liked paying for hookers. She was the Queen of them all, and he had the deepest pockets. After this happened, everyone forgot the cheating, the near-divorce in 2011, the big old ring he bought her just to keep her married, and the continued cheating. This woman cared about his money. I've never seen any genuine emotion about his passing. Now her daughter? Absolutely. That one stings.

What a queen. Behind every great man is a strong woman. Beautiful speech. Kobe would have been so proud. One of the best to ever do it, KOBE BEAN BRYANT. You will be missed, always.
You can really see the anger in her eyes at the end, to go with her sorrow. More than a year has passed. She's justifiably so furious this happened to him and her daughter. She's also angry for the tragic loss she and her two daughters have suffered.
Why be furious? Chit happens to us all in life. Life is not all flowers and lollipops. It’s terrible what happened but many other people have faced much worse. She also has a lot of money to make her life easy, she’s not like some women who are left penniless when their husbands die and then have to go out and work two menial jobs to keep food on the table and a roof over her and her kids heads. Kobe would be alive today if he had just driven a car instead of helicoptering everywhere like he was Prince Charles or something. Also, why weren’t Pam and Jellybean invited on stage to say a few words about their son? The man is dead, bury the hatchet. I hope they are able to be a part of their grandchildren’s lives.

@@lisamarielund6292 No he wouldn't be alive today if he would have driven a car because it was his time. It was already written before he was born. Death comes for us all.
Most idiotic statement ever

i really can’t believe or accept that fact that kobe is gone . vanessa is so strong 💜 my heart aches for her and the rest of the family and friends everyday . my prayers and heart goes out them
Michael Jordan and Vanessa slept together
@@johnnyson7474 huh
@@johnnyson7474 sad and jealous
It was suppose to be Kobe man… I wanted to see my GOAT up there and speak his heart out. I am jealous of the people seeing their favorite player of all time be inducted to the Hall of Fame present because i will never see that in my life… RIP Kobe & Gigi ❤️
Well if he had been inducted in 2019 just like he should have been then we would have seen him give his speech! This is what happens when you wait too long to induct someone into the Hall of Fame!
This was a family that I’ve adored and become so connected to over the years so this still hurts every time I think about it
Man, it's so unreal to still believe Kobe is gone. Duncan was my favorite player growing up, but Kobe was a close second, it's just so hard not to appreciate not only his game but his persona. Amazing athlete, amazing person. R.I.P. Kobe, you'll never be forgotten.
I still don’t know how she does it. Incredibly strong and it was a beautiful speech. Even though I was born and live in Boston Kobe was always my idol. His competitiveness is unmatched and a beautiful thing to watch
I love the way Vanessa praises her husband. 😍🥰 Everything she does. Everything she says. She is so respectful to him still, a super mom. I can totally tell that was the love of her life. 💕 Very beautiful inside and out.
I couldn’t watch this a couple weeks ago because my heart and mind are still not able to comprehend Kobe Bryant’s death. I will never forget where I was on that sad Sunday. Vanessa your strength is amazing. I still cried watching you speak so eloquently about your love , your husband. He is so proud of you and your sweet babies 💜
Mamba we love you forever 😭
Mamba Forever. Well deserved First Ballot Unanimous. My childhood hero, hometown icon, adult role model. We still mourn him in Los Angeles. Mamba Forever.
Never been to the states. Thank you for doing this. Mamba Forever.
2020 was a horrible year. It’s started with the passing of Kobe Bryant which was devastating and ended with the passing of my dad which has been the hardest thing I’ve ever dealt with. I admire people like Vanessa Bryant. Those who’ve loss multiple loved ones and can still find it to wake up everyday. Say your I Love You’s everyday
Not to mention the virus that ruined everything.
What courage and strength! My eyes were tearing up during her speech. She had so much composure for what must have been an extremely difficult moment. Extraordinary!
Kobe was a monster, a legend, and one of the kind. When Vanessa started to list Kobe playing through various injuries throughout the game, and even the season...man...that's the Mamba Mentality.
Mamba forevermore we love you RIP
That strength she has… is everything 😭❤️🥰
Wonderful speech, hard to not get emotional. It still seems unreal, RIP Kobe.
Omggggggg that speech got me in tears
RIP Kobe, we will always remember you mamba 🥺🙏
Most things in life you can get through and heal. This isn't one of them. I cannot imagine how it is for his wife and their children going to bed every night and waking up every morning without those two. I cannot imagine. It only brings tears thinking about it. What a beautiful speech though, that was hands down.
Kobe.....Then, Now, Always and Forever. Thanks for the great memories. 💜🏀💛
This was so emotional for me. I could only imagine what she’s going through. She’s such a strong woman.
As a wife and mother, I couldn’t imagine the loss but she holds it together for her other babies. I was never a basketball fan but I knew who he was. We are all human and in her eyes you can see the love and the pain. They say the eyes are the windows to the soul and her eyes show now that a part of her soul is missing. He was her soulmate. Gigi was her baby. There’s nothing that can bring them back but they will never be gone as long as we remember them. I’d say, Congrats Kobe, u seemed like an amazing daddy and athlete. Vanessa, keep your head up and keep going, you’ve gotta keep their spirits alive💜
Kobe always said she was the one I am so happy that they had each other Mama for life Jordan forever
Wow them tears were hard to hold 😢 I could feel the genuine lov from her and Michael! Wow Kobe we miss you and your beautiful smile. Continue to be strong Vanessa 💪 💙
