"Heroes get remembered but legends never die" Rest In Peace, Kobe.
Acylast in that case Kobe isn’t dead
Lies in that helicopter is greatness
Only Kobe could do a simple Jumper and the bench goes Wild, lmao Different type of Greatness right there
Lol
hey, you are interested for basket? just take a quick look on my channel!! i just post 2 video! thanks for your support;)
He was more than a basketball player. He was an inspiration to people all over this planet. Thank you Kobe.
gypsy lab yes to all.
gypsy lab Tell that to his daughters.
gypsy lab you obviously know nothing about Kobe so stfu. He was doing so much for woman’s basketball, way more then any other nba player had done and for u to say that is dumb and just shows that your a hater. Also just because someone is rich and is married doesn’t mean the other person they are married to is a gold digger. You sir really need a reality check.
@gypsy lab Stop bringing things up from almost 20 years ago in his past dammit 🤦🏾♂️
@@Bdog2005 Yeah
Kobe doesn't get enough credit for changing Team USA culture. We were going downwards in 06 even with Bron/Wade/Melon on the team. It was Kobe that changed it and restored dominance
That type of leadership is missing this year. And led to two losses in a row.
@@md1021 I feel as if they need someone like Jimmy Butler for that toughness atmosphere like how he brought the Heat in the finals, they already have scorers and just picked up javale for rebounding and rim protection. They just need someone who is vocal, you would think Draymond would be the answer but it's just not enough, but we'll see.
I’d say Kobe helped changed basketball as a culture. A lot of people who’ve watch Kobe played over the years, or was their first time watching him, made them want to pick up the ball.
Thank you! That's exactly what Team USA needed, Kobe was the main catalyst for them reclaiming the gold and returning to dominant form.
Yup
Love the exchange between him & Gasol here. Rest In Peace, Kobe.
Teammates in LA Lakers, if anyone was wondering.
That was A BrotherHood💪🏾💯
Same
@@harrypponder7396 yep
I loved watching both of them play together as a kid back then. They both had great chemistry as players and individuals
Rest in peace: Kobe Bryant Gianna “Gigi” Bryant Christina Mauser Payton Chester Sarah Chester Ara Zobayan Keri Altobelli John Altobelli Alyssa Altobelli
🙌🏼
Amen
Way way too many people for one helicopter. RIP so terrible
Amém
so many people has dead?
"The Biggest mistake humans make is thinking we have time" RIP Kobe
👌👌👌
Amen
I’m happy he didn’t waste his!
I wouldn't say that's the biggest mistake but it's one almost everyone makes
Well said!!!
Kobe is a class act. Was about to celebrate and then decide to shake hands with Spain.
One of the greatest losses America has ever experienced
The hug with Gasol got to me.
I like how he used the number 10 in the Olympics, knowing that the world recognizes the number 10 as the MVP in any soccer/futbol team. RIP Kobe 🙏
mj: 23, 9 kobe: 24, 10
Same thing I was thinking. 1 upping MJ
@@donaldmcgee6334i think KG mentioned this as well
Kobe was a special man.
the man still is😥💖
For sure
@MUFC soccer was created more than 2,000 years ago. Basketball is 74 years old. Of course its more popular right now sherlock. Lmao. What a terrible comparison
Not was, but he is
Yui
Never knew how much he meant to me before he passed. Gone but never forgotten kobe
can't say it any better
Me too. I grew up with him, remember playing Kobe Bryant in NBA Courtside for the N64 to death as a kid. Then as an adult I barely followed him, even missing his last championships. Then when I heard I was speechless and cried for days like when Steve Irwin went. :'(
The most admired, popular and loved basketball player wherever in ASIA.. KOBE.. THE GOAT Fact
2008 Olympic Kobe was a straight up beast. I loved how he slimmed up that year so he could put an emphasis on defense, and guarding the other teams best player every game. He also came up super clutch on offense at the end of games. That's what we're missing this year.
Also, never forget he lost the NBA finals to the Celtics that year. Wasted literally no time on remorse or self-pity and instead IMMEDIATELY put his focus on winning the olympics. Mamba mentality!
There'll be a minute of silence for him at the Olympics this year
Maia Rose yes of course
probably at the superbowl this weekend too. he's one of the greatest athletes of our time.
@@kylem1112 From High School to the pros, to playing for his Country... KOBE!!
There are many olympians that passed away this ib the last four years
Or probably 24 seconds of silence.
When he was in the game, he was a beast But when he smiled, he was an angel... Rest in peace Kobe...
@ScAnDeLeZ He said when he was in the game as in playing basketball, he was a beast. When he was smiling, he looked like an angel. What part of that did you not understand?
*KOBE* saved the *United States of America's* Olympic basketball teams First 🥇 place medal and reputation. Kobe was the MVP of the Olympics in 2008 when LeBron and the '04 Olympic team *LOST.* The *'08 Redeem Team >* The 1992 Dream Team
Ok
An angel with grape 🍇 allegations ?
Kobe never died. He just got drafted to the heaven's Basketball team.💜💜💛💛
I will tell my kids that this man is the greatest player in my generation. No doubt! Rest in peace my GOAT ☝2⃣4⃣
Rip kobe and his daughter.
"and his daughter." Still hits me like a truck.
unowen7591 sorry , what you mean?? I'm Japanese. so,I can't understand English well.
Tal Shenhav Sorry for not understanding
1 0 he is saying that it is really sad that Kobe died, but it is even worse that his daughter died since she was so young. It’s cool that you know both Japanese and English
@@pageeeda japanese is very smart but dont understand english
Kobe Bryant was an amazing player who played our hearts and made us proud. We love you, man so much. R.I.P Kobe Bryant! (1978-2020)
He died in a helicopter crash by the way if you want to know what happened to him.
@@jadecummings8093 Don't you say!!!
🍿
@maxo I see what you did there lol.
RIP kobe but I have to say this is the greatest basketball team off all team and would destroy the dream team
I never tired of watching Kobe play especiallly when he turns on his "flair"! He's just so exciting to watch!
That beautiful shot posture of Kobe 🏀🏀🏀 RIP MAMBA
R.I.P KOBE BRYANT
Itz Typed 没了，再也没有科比了😩
He was everything you wanted in a basketball player.
no disrespect but no, not really
@@officialvladimir5897 what was he missing, idiot?!
@@speaknowstan.13 they'd probably say playmaking, but that's a common misconception, so don't blame him.
@@speaknowstan.13 he was kind a ballhog
@@quinnstockman6927 Yeah but it made him much more entertaining and he started trying to pass more when he changed numbers
You never know how much you miss someone until they're gone! The pain of Kobe not being here is like a wound that will never seems to heal. Kobe was unbelievable!!
The thing i admire about Kobe is that even when he lost noticeable inches vertical due to knee damage hed somehow manage to never really lose his athleticism. His footwork and first step off the dribble was just elite. Still getting to rim with fashion its unbelievable even past the age of 30.
Kobe isn’t dead because a legend never dies.
❤😥
Legends are never forgotton
Vaqif Eliyev because legends never die 💪🏼😥
@@ahmedshousha1958 yes,of course
King of the world, you gotta love how wild was his game and how much respect he showed to the other players like Scola. RIP KB, mamba mentality forever
Killer video. Great music choices and editing. Keep up the great, Black Mamba work. 👍👍
Back when hes still alive, when I watched his videos playing basketball, I'm so happy. But now, its so hard to watch because of what happened to him. Rip legend.
Im just glad he didnt die in the middle of his career an we got to see him play Rip
true, but his daughter unfortunately didn't even have a career passing away at only 13. Very sad😪
@Daniel Laygo i agree! Wnba would have cemented its own name if gigi lives.
Such a class act he was about to celebrate. Then stopped to congratulate Spain. Beautiful mamba
I still remembered everything since the first day he put the Lakers jersey on , and we all will remember him for the rest of our lives.
Strange that I never even liked Kobe when he was alive, and yet his death still stunned me. It's incomprehensible, as if there's a hole in the sport itself. That was his power-- you didn't have to like him but you always, always had to acknowledge him.
But what was your reason for not liking him ,you didn't know him on a personal level ,but if you had ,I feel you would have loved him as a loveable human being and fantastic basketball player Kobe forever RIP 🙏
@@doloresdeanda2950 my reason for not liking him was thst im a blazers fan and have ptsd lolol
@@kevinhuynh8409 he was the king at torching your favorite player
still can’t believe this. kobe was a different breed, man. i just want to thank him for my childhood, for showing me that turn around jumper at laker camp. for showing me that life is supposed to be lived. so much love to gigi, the bryant’s, and everyone involved in this tragedy
Kobe always salute His audience after every match ... Forever Kobe ....RIP Legend
He was really an amazing basketball player. Salute you Kobe! RIP 🙏🙏🙏
3:33 was about to show off the USA logo but instead said congrats to the Spain players what a guy. RIP Kobe
He crushed us twice in the finals, suffered him then, enjoyed now every point of him. Never forgotten, I love you Kobe
Euhhh....don't forget the refs...usa had to win.
@@samleyton5316 sounds like a crybaby sore loser! jajajajaja
@@samleyton5316 that's really stupid for you to say that boy blaming the refs when Spain dropped the game to the US
Give the ball to Kobe. Period.
When Kobe came and pulled Team USA out of a deep hole, he already sealed his GOAT status.
Watching Kobe heat up vs Australia in 2012 was one of the most fun games I’ve ever watched.
You can see the love Kobe had for Gasol. We'll always love you Kobe. Los Angeles represent!
till this day, i cant believe kobe is gone
Kobe's style was so graceful and his skills were amazing. I will miss you so much. RIP Kobe and Gigi. Mamba Mentality!!!
6:18 this is mamba mentality. This is what our team usa 2019 needed. I hope that our team in 2020 olympics honours kobe
This guy was the greatest and nobody can ever replace him
I love how he went to many other events and sports that do not get the recognition. Just because he and other team members went, they became huge events!
It’s sad to see him go ❤️
3:53 - Always the name in front of the jersey mattered to him the most. RIP Kobe and Gigi and others.
My fave USA Basketball teams for the olympics are the times in which Kobe was in it. Im glad he left us with memories thru vids like these that we can watch when we miss him.💜
Not just basketball player but a husband and good father and mostly an basketball icon. We will miss you kobe. I'll never get tired of watching your games.
In that gold medal game when the USA was headed for an upset, KOBE decided no way and took total control! As a 46 year old man, that brother brought tears to my eyes! Rest in Heavenly Peace MAMBA!
KOBE FOR THREE. A legendary line for a legend. Rest in peace, sir. Thank you 💔
Kobe is the leader of this team,
Rest In piece Kobe and everyone Who died in this tragedy💔💔
Kobe Bryant - Legend of Legends. Rest in Peace.
Haven't watched Kobe highlights in a while. Used to watch full games. I can't believe this guy is gone.
FIBA rules let him show even more talented.
I love Kobe, he was the emotional leader of the group..hats off to d wade for being the work horse of this team, offense and defense he was magnificent
Hey guys. I'm still sick. I'm just gonna continue watching Kobe videos until I can fully accept what happened. I miss you, Kobe.
Same here, same here
All im doingg
This is so hard to let go. Sad sad days. RIP Kobe
Daniel Luong same
Me too it’s been almost a year and I still haven’t accepted yet
Thank you for the memories Kobe. I grew up watching you and remember you dominating the Olympics. Mamba mentality
Lehelpme never had or has had this level of technical brilliance, Kobe was on another level.
What an awesome compilation of Kobe, whoever put this together? THANK YOU! NOBODY stood a chance against Team USA because of Kobe! I remember watching it! I watched it all! He was excited, and he made ME excited! Let’s remember the good things, this awesome legacy Kobe and Gigi have left us. Be eternally blessed and at peace Kobe and Gigi. You left us a better world!
I can’t believe that Mamba passed away, I crying like baby, even legends and millionaires are not protected from the sudden death, Rest In Peace, you will be always in our hearts ♥️
Never forget RIP Kobe Bryant Still in our hearts
Kobe work ethic was so amazing that basketball at a certain point was too easy for him , so being that person he is he just never stop thinking about how to get better. Never sleep talent is what he had.
That 2012 team was something special. USA basketball ain’t been the same and a lot of it had to do with Kobe. I still can’t believe he’s gone. RIP 😔
It feels like Kobi is still alive when i watch this!
NBA will not be the same without kobe bryant...his skills and dedication is out of this world...MABA REST IN PEACE..
Dude didnt just bring his black mamba mojo here, he also learned to become a better team player and I'm glad he found a way to contribute more so not just for himself but for his teammates and country! RIP Kobe Bean Black Mamba Bryant
Back then when team USA is full of stars and not a team of bench player. The thrill of every game is raising on the roof. We will miss you Kobe
Rip kobe Bryant😭😭
Because of him i started playing bball. Still cryin because i miss him. My hero ❤️
Mamba, I miss U. --A heart-broken fans from Hong Kong.
The childhood memories I have of watching Lebron and Kobe I’m team USA inspired me so much💔💯 I will never get over this Long Live Kobe Bryant and GiGi🖤♾
R.I.P. Legend Kobe Bryant Gianna "Gigi" Bryant Christina Mauser Payton Chester Sarah Chester Ara Zobayan Keri Altobelli John Altobelli Alyssa Altobelli
Passion + Talent + Hard work+ Mentality = Mamba Mentality
Kobe is the greatest basketball player I've ever seen
Watched his ENTIRE career, still cant process this 😭😭😭
This is one of the reasons why the Redeem team definitely lived up to what they represented. RIP Black Mamba. Thank you....for everything.
Kobe is really just a cheat code America unlocked. Absolute legend. RIP
2K Should've Had An Kobe Bryant Olympic Card In 2K15
Kobe was Hella explosive even in his late 20's
I can't believe I'm watching his highlights reminiscing about him!
Kobe was the best player on that team that year
I'm from new Jersey but a Laker fan for ever!! KOBE BRYAN thanks for all these year's of great plays aaaaaa mmmm sorry 😿😿 we won 5 together, Gonna miss you BROTHER.........
Kobe... one of the greatest American athletes to ever represent us on an international scale! Well played, sir! Well played! Thank you!
When you realize that Kobe is the master (si fu) for all the other players around that era & this.
“RIP Kobe” these words don’t even make sense together.
He was my favourite player growing up. Used to watch how he shot the ball, crossover and even his feint moves, then try to apply them in the court. Rest in peace, Kobe.
Kobe Bryant was one of a kind ! They will never be no one like him ! Thank You Kobe Bryant!
I cannot express how much you will be missed... why did you have to go so soon? RIP Kobe, Gianna, and all the other people who died in this crash... All the love and support to your families... You will never be forgotten...
We are all heart broken 😭💔
Congrats::: Kobe Bryant(RIP). ...to you contributions to the NBA!!!
Dont be sad because Kobe is gone,,we should be happy because he was born to this world.
Rip Kobe I remember growing up watching your highlights everyday after school! 🙏🏾😩
Kobe as African you made me love this sport bro . Much love I know you gonna be back
Arguably the flashiest player without any effort doing it. Such graceful moves and he's dunks wer amazing nobody can even mimic that.
The best thing I have seen in my life in the world of sports. How great you were Kobe. Seeing you at the Olympics was the best.
I still remember watching the opening ceremony on tv and seeing Kobe from USA.
RIP Kobe Bryant
