3 years later, I still couldn't believe he's gone. Kobe's passing was one of the hardest things to cope. When I was just a teen living in China, Kobe was the first basketball player I've known. I would watch lakers game during the lunch break with my classmates and admired all his moves! I bought so many kobe's posters and signed his name in Chinese (lol). 10 years later, I moved to the states. My top checklist was to see laker's game in staples center. I still vividly remembered seeing Kobe playing on court. He nailed it in the 4th quarter and lakers won ! That was a dream come true moment of my life. I wanted to say thank you dear Kobe. You gave me strength and hope. Now i'm 35 and soon become a mother. I will teach my kid to play basketball and watch your games together. Lots of love.

Don't know if it was already said, but man .... Michael Jordan really is the Michael Jordan of delivering a speech.

[@JoeSmith-iv3sf]

Ppl get on him for not speaking out on much, with out as to ever thinking why.. That's for another day. Yet when you don't talk much, and then you do this it makes it that much more powerful.

[@CustomizedUsername]

Even his jokes were goat level

[@Scorpion-bd1ow]

Jordan doesn’t speak a lot but when he does speak it means a great deal and it hits in ways people dont understand. Rip to Kobe. I hope that what he teaches to all of us is that value of time, that value to always work hard, and the ability to just be a great person no matter the mistakes you make or the situation against you.

[@francescolugli9136]

He didn't write it on his own

[@chaserichards8498]

[@roxxylala26]

I honestly think MJ should've started with that sentence & then proceed how Bryant in the beginning was an annoying lil brother & how he grew to love him...but I think he tried to make a small joke in the beginning which didn't work. Maybe it was nerves or just trying to make a joke for the sake of not crying like crazy in the beginning.

Everyone's speech was wonderful and moving. But I must admit I was most moved by MJ's. It was the most real, eloquent, endearing, witty, hilarious, heart-warming. Mj doesn't talk much, make speeches, make public appearances so we know he really wanted, needed to be up there to make this speech to Kobe. I'm old school, grew up with mj and I've never seen mj like this, speak like this about anything or anyone. It's really healing to have seen this speech by mj

[@lamefart8831]

You should see his speech in his medical center inauguration...
