Reactions To Vanessa Bryant's, MJ's and Shaq's Words + Addressing Kobe's Legacy

while in New York and on the new Hot 97 app at the morning celebration of Kobe and Gianna's life came down yesterday from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Beyoncé opened the ceremony with her song EXO and Halo XL was one of the favorite albums of Kobe and Jimmy. Kimmel welcomed the crowd and I was so excited, you could tell he was super heartbroken like everyone else and I'm Vanessa. I went there and I was strong and I gave a beautiful speech that she definitely didn't have to. I was very surprised. she refreshed herself every time he looked at her and she took a deep breath just to make sure she was together.

I felt like we were all breathing with her. It was extreme. She was breathing. I think I stopped breathing for a second. A lot of Beyonce was amazing. Vanessa gave us this gift, although I think it's something I wish a lot of people would focus on, you know, because when families of well-known people do something for the public, they don't owe us their loved one. They already gave us their life, their body and their talent to entertain us, yes, so now they are no longer here, that family doesn't owe us that, um, but clearly she felt connected and wanted to share here is a part of her, her beautiful speech, Kobe somehow.

He knew where she was at all times, specifically when I was late to her games, worried about me if I wasn't in my seat at the start of each game, and asked security where I was the first time I left the game. first quarter and my know-it-all told her that she wasn't going to lose 81 points in the first ten minutes of the game. I think anyone with kids understands that sometimes we can't get out the door on time and eventually he got used to my tardiness and dismissed the fact that he could play at an intense professional level and still be worried about making sure we got to the game. in a safe way.

It was just another example of how family came first for him. He loved being Gianna's basketball coach. He told me that he wished he had convinced Natalia to play basketball so they could spend even more time together, but he also wanted her to follow his own passion. He saw Thalía play in a volleyball tournament on her birthday, January 19, and noticed that she is a very intelligent player and was convinced that she would have made a great scorecard with her court vision and me. He said he wanted Bianca and Capri to play basketball when they were older so they could spend the same amount of time. with them like he did with Gigi and Kobe he always told Bianca and Capri that they were going to grow up and play basketball and mingle now that they won't have their dad and sister here to teach them and that's really a loss.

I don't understand one of the Heartbreakers. I don't know if we have the audio, although Vanessa was articulating all the things that she won't be able to do her job. I can't, I enter it saying that you know Gianna and Kobe. They were inseparable and that's why I brought them together, kept them together and then she went on to talk about how you know she has the other girls on a leash and expects you to take good care of Jesus. I know we played it yesterday on the case show that we didn't really listen to it, someone just gave it to us, we pressed play and at the end of the segment, the three of us were not sitting there looking ahead without being able to speak because it's on, it's unbearable. , it's not if you're a human you can't even hear some of this audio it's so loud here's a piece of Michael Jordan now this like now he's got me I'll have to watch another crime means for the Knicks proudly to death there There were so many levels , although if I could confirm that Jordan knows her crying name is aya and the fact that she broke the ice with that I told my wife I was going to do this because I didn't want to see that for the next three. or four years, three or four, that's what Kobe Bryant does to me.

I'm pretty sure Vanessa and her friends could say the same. He knows how to get to you in a way that affects you personally, even if he's being a pain in the ass, but if he always has love for you and the way he can bring out the best in you is amazing, and it was common knowledge how close Michael Jordan and Kobe were, I don't believe in the measure. but people knew they were in a relationship and they were getting really close to him, this sounds like it was really deep, yeah, this wasn't just like, oh, we jumped on the phone here and there for advice, yeah, no, and I like it. that Michael, he. he was genuine about it, like he regularly referenced how annoying Kobe was; yeah, he mentioned like five times that you could tell he really thought he was annoying, but that he really came to love and appreciate him and kept referring to his mood.

Deep respect, yes, he kept referring to him as the boy, which I found really interesting. Jordan, only he must have called him a kid seven times because, in his opinion, Kobe, who died, is a 41-year-old man. I'll be out too young. He's still a kid to him when he saw that his son was my little brother, yeah, and he likes everything about Michael, he was born in 1963, so he's 60 years old. Mr. Kobe was always a kid to him, he's just interesting. Shaq also made people. Laugh for a second. Kobe and I always maintained a deep respect and love for each other today.

I won the day Kobe earned my respect. The boys were complaining. Touch. Kobe doesn't pass the ball. Said. I will talk with him. I said Kobe. There is no I in team. Kobe said I know, but there's an Emmy, so we go back until the big tough Shah Baba said, he just gets the rebound, it won't happen. I was awesome raking Big Shot Bob Robert Horry, Big Shot Bob never heard that. Before you, yesterday I was incredible.
