@@neil2666 Thank you as I am 28 now and that is exactly what made my tumor very shocking as I was told that there are millions of individuals who have tumors in their brain however, if they don't grow in size then they actually never become noticed as no one asks for a random CT scan for no apparent reason. My tumor was also affecting my mental issues with social and depression as when I get told what I would do sometimes, I could not believe I got so crazy to the point where I was not able to control it since the placement of my tumor was affecting my personality completely. It is very hard to think that you personally will ever be the chosen to have a mental scare like that and I won the lottery for that. However, I had to pay money for that jackpot haha.

You can tell that Shaq is deeply hurt. It's showing in his weight, eyes, and slurring speech. He's a gentle giant with a giant heart. He works a lot and puts others before himself. Kobe was always looking out for Shaq's kids, and that meant so much to Shaq. His kids are hurting as much as he is, so he's carrying an even heavier load. I honestly hope that people watch out for him. He needs the rest as much as anyone connected to this awful tragedy.

They gave him everything...and now they've been erased from his legacy/memory, as if he only started existing when he became an NBA player...disgraceful. Oh and BTW he met vanessa on set for a music video, when she was a video girl...(no vanessa wasn't holding him down when he was broke, he was already rich and she jumped onboard to date a rich man). They rushed into marriage and kids and the rest is history. His poor parents. Also you might wanna look up the harassment, abuse and humiliation their housekeeper suffered at hands of vanessa.

His heart is filled with love and humor Which makes his so loved by many people … When I see this video of Shaq it brings tears to me as Shaq mention that he will look over Kobe’s children that he will be there for them . Til this day I still don’t believe Kobe is gone Kobe RIP

[@flogoph13]

You can just see in Shaq’s eyes how much pain this brought him, this was truly his brother and this shattered his heart, you can tell he did not want to be up there talking about Kobe’s death, but he had no choice but to give his condolences it truly brought me to tears to see how hurt he is 😔

[@bigpharmasports9120]

The details man, perfect speech, not too long, didn't talk about himself, even at the end when he holds up his hand and due to his size accidently smacks the teleprompter....this whole speech is all Shaq...his essence, love it.

[@ladyslick121]

and spoke of his parents!! the only person to do that. Kobe bought his mother in law a $3million house and also paid off vanessa's mums debt and funded vanessa's entire family (cousins etc) all their household bills. He only and gave his parents 350k. They rightfully expressed thats unfair and he refused to give anymore, so they small minor childhood items which are in their possession/home. He cut them out his life. Very cold hearted and wrong. They gave him everything...and now they've been erased from his legacy/memory, as if he only started existing when he became an NBA player...disgraceful. Oh and BTW he met vanessa on set for a music video, when she was a video girl...(no vanessa wasn't holding him down when he was broke, he was already rich and she jumped onboard to date a rich man). They rushed into marriage and kids and the rest is history. His poor parents. Also you might wanna look up the harassment, abuse and humiliation their housekeeper suffered at hands of vanessa. She also withheld her pay and made her work for free for the last month (less than $1000). The cleaner sued them Google it. His parents gave him everything, brought him up and made him what he was. Such a shame, they're disrespected and treated as worthless in their grief. The role they played was worth so much more recognition, they've lost their son!!

[@seconddemo35]

Flowerrose121 Exactly. People don’t know that Vanessa’s parents threatened Kobe with the fact that he had started sleeping with Vanessa when she was 16 and he was 20 which falls under statutory rape. He married her fast. No doubting his love as she was his first, but this most likely had to do with the resentment that Kobe’s parents had towards Vanessa. She was a dancer on his video set ( back when he tried being a rapper) and she snagged a baller.

[@veewalker4472]

I"m so thankful and happy he acknowledged his parents and sister, it really bothered me that nothing was honored about them in any pictures or expression as if he wasn't a son and a brother. I know he loved being a husband and father but you just don't ignore the fact that these people are burying a child just like Vanessa buried one.

[@mariemarlene7658]

It's downright DISRESPECTFUL AND SHAMEFUL‼If Pam and Joe didn't come together 41 years ago in Love. The entire 🌍 would've never known The GREATNESS of Kobe Bean Bryant. Vanessa could have found a way to have them honor their ONLY SON, even if they didn't want to speak let the Sister's speak on behalf of The Family; not even a picture collage with his Parents as a little boy??
