My favorite memory of Kobe was just watching games when we were down by 10-15 going into the 4th. Kobe would check in and hit 1 shot, and he would almost ALWAYS bring us back in the game especially at home…the crowd would get so loud after that first bucket to cut it to 8 or so and later win the game…as a kid watching him he was really a superhero and felt so unbelievable imo.

Unfortunately, Kobe had to file a lawsuit against his Mother for blocking a potential sale of his memorabilia back in 2006. He later told GQ Magazine in 2018 that he had no plans of reconciliation with his parents.

[@fidelnenas8390]

@@remingtonporter1734 yet he was slowly reconciling with his dad. I’m sure their hurt is profound especially his fathers. But I feel Vanessa is disresptful to them cause no matter what animus or bad feelings without them there is no Kobe. Vanessa making the rounds like Kobe’s life didn’t start til she came in the picture. His parent nor his sisters deserve the freeze out that she is putting them through. No matter what she feels towards them she should at least give Kobe’s father the honor of speaking about his son she’s about riding the Kobe train by herself. I hope that none of her daughters do to her what she’s done to her own mother and his parents. No matter what you don’t ever cut out your parents from your life. Period.

I was working at LAX during the final game vs the Pacers & we just so happened to go to our lunch around the 3rd quarter but had been keeping track of the game & Lakers has been trailing all game pretty much. When they started making that comeback & tied it then started taking the lead was when my lunch was over but no1 was moving not even our supervisor. He'll I think some ppl had their plain boarding but every1 was glued to the TV's cheering every time Lakers scored then the pacers made their comeback & tied it up at 103 it went silent. Then Lakers scored 6 unanswered points & every1 was hyped. When they stopped the pacers final flurry the whole terminal erupted. Strangers were high fiving & hugging grown men crying. It was 1 of my greatest sports memories of all time

Then to have my brother die a year later on the anniversary of Kobe’s death makes them forever linked in my mind.

This what makes Charles great on the show, he stay quiet and let Shaq talk without throwing in jokes or puns. There are many endless opportunities to make fun of Shaq, but this isn't one of those times. Either that or he just ate 2 boxes of Krispy Kreme and was too bloated to talk.

Or both 😂

He was probably strongly holding a fart, focusing on that is a job in itself

I was very young w Larry and Magic years. Jordan was my prime young years. And just like seeing Tyson from front to end, in MY time, not on a film, it made all the difference because you sat at the edge and anticipated. Kobe came at a time when I was older, busier with other things in life. While in my time, he wasn't in my focus, as I'd let a lot of sport give way to work and life and such. I do appreciate now, especially and sadly, after the loss, what he represented and meant to those who saw him in their younger time, when fandom is forged and locked in. I also appreciate Shaq thanking West for making it happen. "My" era was bookended with Larry and Magic early and Kobe/Shaq later. We are too damned short lived and too long gone to not appreciate the moments we get. I still gotta work on that on the daily and fail but... warmed my heart to see the first statue that honors his passion and life.

How come all of Shaq's Kobe stories are always more about him?

[@Mari000]

He’s self centered

Everytime they have these events and reflect on KOBE, I just tear! This loss is still personal to me!

[@rshrsh5420]

Every morning, I look at the picture of Kobe that is on my wall. This picture says, "It's a constant quest to try to be better today than you were yesterday and better tomorrow than you were the day before." Those words carry me through the day as I work and effect how I treat people. They have served me pretty good!

Kobe is better than Lebron. But MJ is GOAT.
