Magic Johnson on Kobe Bryant, The Lakers & Vacations with Jimmy Kimmel

Magic remembers his friend Kobe Bryant, and talks about what he did for Los Angeles, playing him in one-on-one, bringing LeBron James to the Lakers, celebrating his 60th birthday, and Jimmy goes to great lengths to be included on Magic’s summer vacations.
Buy Jimmy’s new children’s book The Serious Goose! All of the money he makes goes to children’s hospitals across the country.

Amen. If you want to cry, watch the TNT special, which is also important. Both things-- laughing at treasured memories, weeping for an immense loss-- are part of grieving. The crazy thing is that this was supposed to be Magic. This exact situation-- this precise tragedy, taken too soon. HIV was a death sentence. He was retiring to go die-- or so we thought. It's to the point that I wonder if Magic surviving made this all the more unimaginable. These guys simply live forever. Well-- no, they're people like the rest of us.

[@AmberKingmusic]

Everytime I see Magic Johnson I think of the story my aunt told me. During a layover when I was an infant he said I was a really cute baby. My aunt was a flight attendant and she was returning me to my parents after she took me to give them a break and Magic was making funny faces at me for like 5 minutes straight

When I was young I was a huge fan of Karim Abdul-Jabbar. So you can imagine how long it has been that I have been a Lakers fan. I knew Magic Johnson during his prime. The day the news came to me about Kobe I was in a daze. I am not like an ultimate fan of Kobe don't get me wrong but the icon of Kobe for Lakers is different. I cannot imagine how his wife and kids feel. His daughter was so young. He was so young. I might not be significant to anyone but please have my heart felt condolences. It is never right to lose someone in an accident. Everyone's family on that helicopter, I hope eventually your pain will be eased.

Miles Bennett He's a great guy

[@JelaniB28]

Man he was amazing. I was 11 years old when he announced he had HIV and I was devastated similar to how it feels now about losing Kobe because we all thought Magic was going to die soon. It was absolutely horrifying if you could imagine because back then we knew so little about HIV and it seemed to be death sentence in short order. I’m so glad he’s still with us because he’s an amazing dude outside of his amazing career.

[@reapwhatyousow4827]

Me too 😍

[@johnbach2380]

Man even in this tragedy... magic is so level headed and positive.

Magic..is REAL magic. I actually laughed for the first time in two days. And who the hell dislikes a video like this?

Maybe Celtic's fans.

Magic Johnson is the kinda of guy that can bring people together and just make them smile and laugh in the most saddest of times.

[@emilykocjan1126]

I can't believe Kobe Bryant is gone. Especially his daughter Gigi? this is crazy. Honestly this is sad. Kobe is a Legend, he can't die. Rip The Legend Kobe💔💔🙏

[@bachamadu2076]

Sadly death does not discriminate---we all taste its bite. But you right i.e. We are really HAVE immortal souls. This is why we are all priceless for our souls doesn't die. We have a light within us that will keep burning forever. As a Christian myself, I make sure I live in a state of grace In order, not how but when I die, I'll be with the Source of Immortality. Peace n love where you are !!

[@malakafacka]

See this is what people posed to do celebrate his life that’s what we all should do don’t be sad he’s in a better place with his daughter, Ara Zobayan, John Altobelli, Keri Altobelli, Alyssa Altobelli, Christina Mauser, Sarah Chester, and her daughter Payton Chester

[@ChrisSalazar1983]

I needed this really bad... If Magic, one of the people closest to Kobe, can smile and remember the good stuff, then I can follow suit... 🐍🙏

[@margaretwanjiru349]

Magic's laughter is so contagious.... I think this is how Kobe would want us to celebrate his life, with positivity bcoz he was very positive about life when he lived

[@Steph_the_Boss]

Magic is indeed contagious

[@gunner5forlife79]

Kobe's death was a shock, but shocking deaths happen everyday in this world. The only thing is that they don't make the headlines. Life is short people, very short. Rip Kobe and Gianna.

[@des.4381]

That is the truth!! Thank you for saying that and May God bless you and your family.

[@Retro_Player_1]

One of the best jimmy kimmel interviews. Full of good laughs had me rolling.

[@Teenytony222]

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

[@ishanbrar5756]

Boneytony222 It felt like Kobe was invincible... Still in shock from this whole tragedy 😔 He was an even better father as well and his daughter looked like she would carry on his legacy. Prayers up to everyone suffering from this tragedy 🙏

[@oza1710]

Kobe wasn't like anyone else, he was so damn unique that you wouldn't think something this tragic would happen including the death of his daughter and 7 others..... mannnnn why.

[@kevinbunn7915]

@@oza1710 I think one of the hardest parts is that I just can't believe someone invincible can be gone like that

[@721mehrad]

Seeing this video cheered me up a lot. Kobe’s loss have made the past couple of days really rough for me but seeing Magic grieve with the pain in a positive manner and move forward makes me wanna do the same. He might not be the best general manger out there but he is a great person.

[@seero8305]

721mehrad nice pfp

[@itzshft]

@RcUniverseGuy People grieve differently, not sure if you ever experienced that

[@721mehrad]

Seero haha thanks dude love that show

[@721mehrad]

RcUniverseGuy do you really think he wasn’t upset or devastated when Kobe and his daughter died? Of course he’s sad , but his personality is always to look for something positive (no pun intended). The whole world is sad over this tragedy and its nice to have someone help us move forward.

[@MistahJay7]

@RcUniverseGuy He's laughing away the pain. I do the exact same thing and so do alot of others.

[@naomiluxe0]

I love how magic is celebrating his life and laughing so much, smiling so big. It’s so genuine, I love it

[@terencebigt3825]

I had the pleasure to meet a Magic in person and take a photo with him. Very down to earth , made you feel welcome to talk to him. Prayers and strength to the Bryant family and the other families as well. 🙏

[@saullarios5132]

Magic is a g. Love him. Rip Kobe

[@misfitbritt]

I never knew how much I NEEDED Magic Johnsons spirit! 🥰🙌👏👏👏

[@sportsfan5548]

Does Magic have any idea how much we needed this laughter?

[@natashazinc]

I wish this conversation was an hour long. Definitely lifted my spirit
