What's really sad is that once he retired his only focus was his kids and tried to make up for the time spent away. He didnt evne watch basketball until his daughter brough him back in because she loved it just as much.......this gets to me every time. Loved Kobe, my first sports idol and only celeb i've cried over.

This video is precious and heartbreaking knowing Kobe and his family will never experience the love, happiness and togetherness depicted in this video. The upside is I’m sure there are many more videos the family can enjoy in the years to come. Vanessa, stay strong for your girls and know God is always available.

Man, stop with the comparing please. Kobe is Kobe. I know it’s not intended to be rude, since Jordan is a Great. Regardless, Kobe is another one of the Greats. He’s a legend. He deserves to be remembered as Kobe, the black mamba, 5 time lakers champion, 81, 8,24. He doesn’t deserve to be remembered as “the guy who was closest to Jordan”. They’re two legends who were named the greatest ballers of their time. Two separate individuals. We should keep it that way.

Amaking10000 I hear you, I know your comment was written under good intent. Don’t worry too much about it. Just my 2 cents.
I wish a lot of love and peace for the kids and the widow.
Kobe love his girls he wasn't just a dad he was true Father I give all respect to him for him being him RIP Kobe and Gigi the whole world love you guys
I’m still a mess a week after, and probably always cry every once in a while. I grew up watching him. I pray that God surrounds the Bryant family with love and peace. I hope all the families feel the love we are all sending to them. I pray the lost souls have peace.
I cannot imagine the pain his family must feel, never to see him smile again, hear his laugh, or feel his touch... It breaks _my_ heart, so I can't fathom how much it hurts those who knew him as friend, father, and husband, and Gianna as a friend, daughter, and sister. I can only send my thoughts and prayers their way and hope that all the good times captured on video like this one are able to bring them some semblance of peace... Even though I know for some time it will only make them hurt worse. I hope Kobe and Gianna's family can find it within themselves to move forward yet never forget this wonderful, strong, intelligent, loving man, along with his beautiful, talented, and loving daughter. It still feels so surreal to me... Horrifyingly surreal.

@trevor mcgaw yes, I thought I said that but I apparently didn't. Thanks! So, yes my heart hurts for all of the families. I for sure didn't mean to leave any of them out. There was a mom, dad & their child that was on that plane. I wonder if there was other kids that lost all three of them. (mom dad and sister) only if they wouldn't have been cleared to fly.......can't believe no one is talking about that. They shouldn't have been cleared, being the pilot didn't have certification to fly in them conditions. So senseless & sad.

& fyi, I am one of those ppl that think they didn't get as much attn as Kobe & daughter, & how that would make me feel if it were my family and all that gets talked about is a famous person and his. I have made other comments and always try to include them. I don't think they are getting enough attn about what has happened to them as well.
I pray for the Bryant's family, for god to give them the strength everyday as they need it to move forward. You all are loved by even people you don't know. GOD BLESS YOU VANESSA AND YOUR KIDS.
So sad. They lost such a great, loving father. My heart breaks for his wife and daughters.

The magnitude of what his family has lost is magnified by these personal beautiful moments shared with us all. Rest in peace Kobe & GiGi. Prayers and love to the family at this tragic time. 🙏❤
The videos are so full of genuine LOVE ....?What a blessing to have had Kobe as a father .... God doesn’t make mistakes and we can’t question him ... Just maybe he knew GiGi couldn’t be here without her Daddy ??? So sad what a beautiful man Inside and out
Having a good, involved dad is priceless 🥺
Kobe was living his best life. R.I.P

This is beautiful & heartbreaking 😔😔. He seemed like a great dad😩, I know his girls are pushing through. Losing your baby & the love of your life SOUNDS devastating, I truly believe this is why so many of us are saddened. Even if you aren’t a basketball fan, this is heartbreaking.
