LeBron James Gives EMOTIONAL Speech about Kobe Bryant

‘In the words of Kobe Bryant, Mamba Out. But in the words of us, not forgotten.’

[MikeMars-]

I'm glad he recognized everyone on that helicopter. That was real talk.

[michealkelly]

Kobes last tweet was congratulating Bron for passing him on the scoring list

[alabasterpringles]

I appreciate the fact that he didn't read off of a paper .. that made it more genuine and real .. thank you for that LeBron you did Kobe proud

[tdevil]

LeBron showed class by acknowledging everyone else on that helicopter.

Christina Mauser
Payton Chester
Sarah Chester
Ara Zobayan
My heart goes out to the families

Let's appreciate the fact that he firstly mentioned the other people who died too. Kobe was a hero for us, but they were heros for someone too.

[andrepeters]

Man I'm done with comparing of who's better ...I'm just going to appreciate these legends.

Dang you can see in his eyes how badly he wants to cry but doesn’t want to make it look like he’s milking it :(

[paulpierce]

Lebron a real one throwing his cards away straight from the heart

[shyrose]

I love how LeBron, took the time to first acknowledge the other seven lives. Way to show Kobe, and Gigi weren’t the only lives that were taken that day. I know, this meant a lot to those families that were left behind as well. Rest In Peace to all that were on that Helicopter♥️. God bless all of the families, may he be with you🙏🏽

[utdkuze]

Who's here after Lebron, Ad, KCP, Rondo, and Howard did it

[BlackySpeakz]

He’s hurting really bad, I hope he ends up fine man

"You can shed tears that he is gone,
or you can smile because he has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that he'll come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all he's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see him,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember him only that he is gone,
or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what he'd want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on." - David Harkins
*R.I.P Kobe and Gianna Bryant and to those who were killed in the crash* ❤️❤️

The reason that this tragedy hits the hardest.

As a kid with an absent father, looking for mentorship and lessons about how to LIVE LIFE. I adopted the mentality of Kobe and took his mentality as mine.

He really served as a father type figure in not only mine, but for so many others without father figures in our lives man....

A lot of people dont understand the remorse for someone that us fans never met...

But they truly do not understand the IMPACT THAT THIS MAN HAD ON US

[LILWAYNE]

Damn.. a brutha almost cried and shit.. rest peace Kobe, gianna and everybody else who lost there lives that day😭😭🙏

[soullessSiIence]

Kobe was finally proud of LeBron and showing respect during games, something he clearly never did until very recently. I bet that's what's hurting us the most, the fact that Kobe was just starting his real life, the most important one, with all his spare time to be the greatest father and enjoy basketball as a fan.

[jtharp]

The most respect I have ever had for Le Bron...Kobe was my favorite ball player ever, he was bigger than life and an inspiration to me and millions and millions of other people! He was the walking definition of man, and the results of what extremely hard work and dedication to your craft can propel you to! Kobe you will be truly missed but never forgotten...your now a legend and one of the the most deserving legends that has ever graced this earth. You embodied the human spirit and were just an incredible human being equal to that of your basketball skills which were superhuman! God bless you Kobe, you will live on in the harts of mankind forever!

[LuhAuzzy]

Lebron just won this team a ring and by looking at the dislikes amazes me how people just Hate Lebron when you can see by the video how much heart he has for people

[wonderwoman]

"Tonight we celebrate the kid that came here at 18 years of age."

[seb]

Great job Lebron. Straight from the heart, you meant it and felt Kobe with you.. we all did. Anything in life that we feel extremely passionate about, lets do it for Kobe.
