One of the most underrated speeches at this event. Showed how pure Kobe was as both a basketball player, a father, and a human being.

Coach Geno Auriemma gave the best speech! What he said should touch everyone in that room and encourage all these famous men! If you want to be like Kobe then your family and children need to come first because that was what Kobe was all about.

Geeno and MJ were the best speeches in this event!

This was the best speech at the memorial!!!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ “I’ll be routing for their team...forever.” 😭💔

That speech capped the ceremony. Outstanding.

UConn women's basketball team is the greatest. Gigi was going to be a star. UConn is 1#.

Major respect to this guy! Amazing speech! ❤️

This was surprisingly the greatest speech of the day.

Helluva speech, Coach!

2021 still grieving but supporting the NCAA. Rest in Peace baby girl ( Gigi).

I love this speech ❤️💙❤️ Insperational to all father and become the best coach by their own familys

Graceful speech🥺

He and Mike are the best speakers here..

Geeno was invited for a reason! He knows his audience and knows what to say!

Geno Auriemma's speech had such meaningful perspective. A dad and a young teen who's life will never be realized, but the lasting impact both will continue to have and inspire for the future of so many.

Wow what a speech

great speech and i feel his wisdom. the best of honor kobe.

He's up there talking because of GiGi.. not kobe ... but for his daughter. ..she want to play for ucon... this is really about GIGi...

Great speech! Side note saw MJ with his head down, he is having a hard time. When he said Kobe would text him at odd hours, I knew he would have a hard time dealing. I’m still trying get past this and I wasn’t closely connected to him.

Gianna is a Husky forever

Wow beautiful speech ❤️

Amazing Speech ! What a great man ! Go Geno and Go U Conn

As a Mother of 3 and Grandmother of 4, I've thought about Kobe's parents from Day 1; "Ohhhh noooo! His Mother!" My prayers are with the entire Bryant Family, as well as the other families, friends, NBA , and their Fans. Rest in Heaven Kobe ⚘ GiGi 7

Coach geno spoked at my high school a couple of times when I was attending there years ago always great speaker and inspirational

He really was there as a father and not a coach😭😭😭

Lol, the camera man/Producer shade at Phil Jackson when Kobe went to Geno for advice on coaching basketball. 3:35

Wow, what a speech. Hit it on the head.

AKA BABY MAMBA 2-24

Everyone knows how good he was and he used the time to talk about the lost potential I feel like this is what it should have been about

Nice ... 4.20

Sad day 👊🏼✊🏽✌🏼️

That's deep

He was Kobe best friend but did shed no tears

Dwade need to listen to this

Rip Gigi Bryant

My condolences is also to his parents. The 2 people that made him without them there would be no Colby😐

I literally wish He was My Dad.

😇😇♥️♥️🌍

Where is Phil Jackson’s speech?

At first i thought AD was dennis rodman 😁.

Greg popavich just staring with dedication and listening after geno saying the most uncoachable player asking about coaching.....that is great

He was there as a father and not a coach meanwhile Kobe's actual father was there but this man spoke instead.

Seriously why is Phil Jackson sleeping through all of this? Or am I wrong?

What is he saying at the very end?

TOVTHE, THUS FAR, 175 PEOPLE WHO GAVE A THUMBS DOWN, MAY U NEVER, NO, WHEN U EXPERIENCE THE LOSS OF A LOVED ONE, MAY EVERYONE RETURN ONTO U, THE SAME HUMAN COMPASSION AND SYMPATHY THAT YOU'RE SHOWING TODAY..... NOTHING THE THREE OF THESE MENTIONED WARRANTED NEGATIVITY ⚘

Kobe was coachable idk where this narrative comes in lol

All I see in the comment thread is best speech this and best speech that. Enjoy the all the speeches from the heart. Just Too much vanity! Honor the dead

6:08 Lebrun needs to take notes. He flying dunking around at his sons game and left all poor kids behind from the rare lights they deserved.

I miss betty best blow j. Only

I never had a life

I will agree 💯 that it’s all about the children or should have been. Why on earth would they choose go up in the chopper when they were aware that the LAPD suspended all flights for that day because of dense fog⁉️

180 ° Turn! ....... I [ Jesus ] CAME not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance....... ....... I [ Jesus ] TELL you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish....... ....... THE LORD is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance....... King James Version Bible Repent! Believe! Be saved! C h o o s e L i f e !

.

Coach plays the the woman card immediately...he wasn’t here to talk about Kobe or his daughter this was a recruiting move. No respect. All fake.

Beautiful speech 🔥🔥
