How has it already been a year...

just realized kobe's youngest daughter is 7 months old 😭 she wouldnt be able to remember her dad's big gorgeous smile

Kobe’s up in heaven saying “man if they’re just gonna stand there, i’m stealing the ball and dunking it” lol

Its been almost 3 years Rest In Peace Kobe Rest In Peace Gigi Rest In Peace John Rest In Peace Keri Rest In Peace Alyssa Rest In Peace Payton Rest In Peace Sarah Rest In Peace Chester Rest In Peace Christina And Rest In Peace Ara These were the names of all the people that died in the crash. We all miss kobe and he made most of us start to play basketball or watch nba games, True goat.

Two years later and it still doesn’t feel real. The impact that one person had on so many lives is astounding. You’re never going to be forgotten Kobe. Thank you for making me love basketball. Love you man

“We all die. The goal isn’t to live forever, but to create something that will.”

I don’t usually get too sad when a celebrity dies, but Kobe and his daughter’s death hit different. And the 24 second shot clock tributes made me tear up.

Almost 2 years later and I am still emotional over the death of someone I've never met. Rip kobe but you will never die. You are immortal.

This had to be the most impactful death in professional sports history. RIP Mamba we all miss you deeply

The fact that many UKposts’s aren’t going to monitize kobe tribute videos just shows how much Kobe meant to so many people

He didn’t even get to say his hall of fame speech Rip Kobe 😭😭

Hearing Doc Rivers, the coach of one of the Lakers' most bitter rivals throughout a big portion of Kobe's career, choke up and almost break down like that always gets me. Still miss Kobe :(

It’s only fitting for this to have 24 Millon views

"if you don't believe in yourself,no one will do it for you" R.I.P KOBE BRYANT

What really gets me is that his last moments were probably spent beside his daughter, trying his best to reassure her that everything would be alright

Bro even 3 years later it's still hits you so hard. Kobe is my top 3 favorite player ever. The passion that he had for the game is second to none. The world really took a legend from us in such a tragic way that will never be forgotten. I never knew Kobe personally, never even met him in person and it still hits so hard just because I looked up to him as a basketball player because of the passion he had. R.I.P Kobe and Gigi. Forever be missed.

It's been two years but the pain is still here. We miss kobe.

Still yelling "KOBE" when I shoot. 🐍 He may be gone, but his legacy never will be. Rest In Peace KOBE & GIGI 🙏

I can't imagine the pain of his wife.. losing husband and a daughter.. 😭😭😭😭

Almost 3 years later and I think about Kobe and Gigi daily. Wasn’t my favorite player but one of my favorite people! Rest. Easy. Mamba.

Almost 3 years... I think about Kobe every day..🕊️

Trae Young is GiGi's favorite player. God I cant imagine how he feels. My deepest condolences to everyone that lost their lives.

Never stop yelling “Kobe” when you are shooting a hoop or throwing something away. Kobe will live on forever with that tradition.

“The goal is always to be the best but some people don’t understand that the other thing is about being the best is inspiring other people to do better”

One of the saddest days of my life. I’ll never forget it. We love you Kobe.

I can’t accept this reality. It feels like he’s still somewhere smiling and enjoying life.

The thing that saddens me the most is that he barely had like 3 years in retirement, meaning he spent literally most his life playing in the nba living the dream, but he never fully get to live life after basketball..:/

RIP Kobe🙏🏽 been 3 years now on this day😞 still feels unreal

3.5 years and still can’t fathom the fact that he’s gone

NBA Host: Tell me how he Died “ i’ll tell you how he lived “ Go in Peace Kobe🥺🥺

As someone once said... Heroes get remembered. Legends never die.

Still can’t believe he’s gone. It’s like a part of my childhood died with him. Kobe was the reason I even got interested in basketball. I was a football kid whole life since birth, but seeing the way he play made me go out to my little tiny 1 hoop court in my neighborhood and imitate his moves all night long, even in the pouring thunder storming rain!!! Desperately trying to get that last move down wanting to become the best kid in my neighborhood! I’ll forever be in your debt Kobe. R.I.P to all those on board the helicopter on that fateful day. You’ll be missed...

It’s been 2 years, and I still miss him like he was a loss in my family man. There were some nights Kobe was the only thing I could enjoy in life just because it sucked so bad. Miss you Mamba. ❤️🙏🏼

Forever in our hearts... He probably hooping with GiGi in heaven right now... 41 years was not enough time...

That’s so sad and heart breaking Can’t imagine how his daughters and wife feel Rest In Peace kobe bryant

It's been 3 years and my pain will never become beyond! We miss you Kobe! And you will never ever be forgotten!!

I was sobbing everywhere when this happened he still had so much to do and did not deserve to die this early. R.I.P Kobe Bryant 24/8

Haven't seen such unification between people In a long time. Even non fans of basketball felt the loss of kobe bryant.

RIP Kobe, Gigi, and everyone else who was lost in the crash 💔

2 years later and it's still just as difficult as it was then to hold back tears....he just meant so much to the game of basketball and to kids all around the world

Watching these after so long bring tears to my eyes, idk how to stay away from Kobe content it keeps coming back and it haunts me for hours

"Tell me why the legends always gotta die quick" -Roddy Ricch R.I.P. Kobe

Lifetime Raptors fan, and ill forever remember that legendary game when Kobe scored 81 on us. RIP mamba and mamba jr

I still shed tears every time I see a highlight or a tribute...Kobe 24 forever

Doc rivers still gets me everytime.😢

RIP to all of those who were on the aircraft :( you’ll be missed

Win Kobe said during his retirement "Mamba Out" I smiled a lot that day When I listened "Mamba Out" today , I cry a lot 😭😭😭 R.i.p Kobe and Gigi 💔

Kobe, you will be remembered as one of the greatest if all time. You have inspired many people to this day, and you still are even though you aren't here with us. Rest in peace, Kobe Bryant🙏🙏😥😥

It's been 4 years. Thank you always, Bean!

Prior to Kobe’s death my school made something called “mamba week” where we watch Kobe’s highlights and play basketball all week

I love how the players took those violations to honor Kobe. He made a difference in the sports world he will truly be missed by so many people.

When you recognize great player no matter who they play for, that’s respect.

2 yrs later and it still makes me emotional. kobe inspired so many people including me. he’s the reason why i fell in love with basketball. thank you kobes, you’re legacy will never be forgotten 💜

*"Heroes come and go but* *Legends are forever"* We love you Kobe and your daughter

Nearly a year and it still feels surreal. LA isn’t the same.

I didn’t know him personally, never met him, but still to this day I will cry just thinking about his death. Thank you Kobe for making me love basketball and you will never be forgotten ❤

I haven’t watched this since the first day you posted this and I’m sitting here crying again.

When ever we try to shoot something Before: Kobe! Now: For Kobe...

Genie: You have 3 wishes Me: Bring back Kobe Genie: You still have 3 wishes, that one's on me

Kobe will forever be with all us sports fans

It’s moments like these that show you it’s more than just a game.

“If you’re afraid you’re going to fail, you’re probably going to fail.” *Kobe Bryant*

I saw his daughter play in my sister's tournament once, and he was her coach. Now I regret not approaching them after the game, R.I.P. nine people who have gone to heaven too soon ❤️

doc rivers interview tore me apart. i was already in such pain and sorrow then to see docs reaction just sunk deep in my heart. to this day i cant believe my lifelong idol since i was literally just 4 years old when he got drafted to the lakers watching my dad and brother rooting for michael jordan and the bulls while i was rooting for kobe. watching every game because kobe was playing. all the amazing moments he gave us on and off the court. kobe was already a legend but his legacy is immortalized forever and i just hope those who didnt know who and why he was beloved are able to watch and learn about why he was so influential

His Daughter. Oh, my Goodness His Daughter...Gianna was my age when she died, I still can't wrap my head around that. Two years ago, we lost two angels that are now in heaven. I can't imagine how terrifying the crash would've been. Gia would've been fifteen this year. Even thirteen years just isn't long enough on this cold earth. Thirteen...wow...she was gone way to soon, my heart breaks for everyone affected by it. Gone but never forgotten.

It’s no longer “Kobe” when throwing trash away. It’s “For Kobe”

My mom loved kobe she watches his game Everytime he plays finally now they can see each other in heaven mis u mom say hi to kobe for me hayst we lost a hero two hero condolences to their family

As a kid from Ohio when I was 7-8 years old I saw Kobe play for the first time and instantly fell in love. The heart the hustle. He’s the reason I became a die hard lakers fan and I’ve been one ever since. Then as I started to get older being able understand what he was saying in interviews and what he spoke about and just being able to see the person he was molded me to be like him. I wanted to be like Kobe and I still do. Then I remember watching his last game instead of the warriors game and it was incredible the fact that his last ever shot was a free throw… just like how he started his career. I teared up a little know I would never get to see him play basketball again. And being sixteen and hearing his speech afterwards brought a smile to my face and in that moment I wanted to be like him. He was my idol. Then after his retirement just seeing him go around on interviews and drop gems of knowledge I would soak it all in. And seeing him share his love of the game with his daughter excited me. And then seeing him at the game where Lebron passed him on the all time scoring list was incredible to see him and Lebron dap up was everything. Then the next day I was at work and he had a little time to slack off to I get on Twitter and I saw the tmz article and didn’t want to believe it and when it was confirmed I almost broke down in tears. When I did get back home I did break down crying. I couldn’t believe it. My idol. The person I wanted to be like. Gone. My first thought was how we won’t ever be able to see him grow old like bill Russell or julis Irving. As someone who loves the history of basketball that hurt me. But everyday I strive to be like Kobe and to keep his spirit alive. Mamba may be out but Mamba Forever. Rip the greatest 💜💛

story time: it was january, and i was at the nfl pro bowl in orlando. it was a fun time and all the fans and players were enjoying themselves. suddenly i get a text from my friend stating that Kobe passed in a helicopter accident. i didn’t believe him at first, because it wasn’t even on espn yet, only TMZ. soon though, an announcement was made during the game that kobe had died. the entire stadium was dead silent. people were crying. the game came go a brief halt as the fans and players took in the news. just as the game was getting started again, everyone started chanting “KOBE!, KOBE!”. it was a truly memorable moment and was a great way to honor him. from that point on in the game, players were doing Bryant related celebrations, such as a pretending to do a fade away after a sack, or when Davante adams did the 24 celebration after catching a TD pass. everyone was heartbroken, but all of the fans were moved by the event. sorry ik that was really long i just thought i’d share

“A man can be killed and forgotten, but hundreds of years later, an idea can change the world.” Mamba out

I can’t even imagine what Kobe’s wife thinks right know. She just lost her husband, AND her daughter in the same place and same time. And for everybody who is says that “I can’t imagine what they were thinking” and stuff, I will just tell u how they died: so on a helicopter, you can go really really slow. (15 mph slow) most of the people who were flying helicopters that day were going very slow because it was veryyy foggy. Kobe’s pilot, was going 180 mph. Basically he didn’t see this mountain, and he just ran into it. It was a quick death. There wasn’t like a whole movie scene where it’s like: “we’re going down!!!” And stuff. This stuff is very sad and you should be educated before saying stuff. Rip Kobe 💛💜

Nearly 1 and a half years later and i still feel that painfull coold morning

One of the greatest to ever play the game.

"Let that shit go" He's right. Go hug someone you care about and tell them you love them.

“One can save millions, but sometimes millions can’t save one.”😢 RIP Kobe 1978-2020

More than four years on, his loss is so profound. For anybody that liked basketball, watched basketball or enjoyed the game, he was an icon on a level few players ever get to. A truly tragic day for the NBA and, of course, Kobe's family and friends. Not forgetting about the others on that helicopter, this was a terrible event all around.

Can’t believe its been 2 years. Thank you so much for everything Kobe 💜💛

Whenever we go for a basketball shot we don’t say “KOBE!” We now say, “For Kobe.”

“Don’t waste today, tomorrow is not guaranteed.” - my dad

I come back from time to time when I’m going through things and remember Kobe wouldn’t go out without a fight, I miss you Kobe, you was my idol and motivation growing up & I still love you brother

Been over a year, my heart still hurts. Never felt so much pain over the lose of a celebrity/athlete. When my wife told me Kobe had passed, I knew right then he was so much more than an athlete.

“ I don’t know what to say MAMBA OUT” Last thing he said wearing a lakers jersey

I remember back then when yelling ,,Kobe” started when sombody hit a beautiful shot not just in sport... in every game or at school life. Rest In Peace Mamba!

Still feels like he's still around 😕

This shows that basketball is more than just a sport, its family

“Kobe Bryant’s Death” never thought I’d hear that too soon

Throwing a paper in 2014: “KOBE!” Throwing a paper in 2020: “ For Kobe.....:(“

Almost 2022, still getting emotional watching this, we miss u Bean💛💜

" If you are afraid to fail, then you're probably gonna fail " - Kobe Bryant

He passed exactly 24 years after signing his first contract in Hollywood.. this man dedicated his life to the game. Kobe ain’t never gonna die.

Kobe's death really shook the basketball world. It's been a year Mamba, your greatness will never be forgotten.

Jeez… it’s been 2 years already… damn. I miss you kobe 🥺🥺

not only losing kobe breaks my heart but the fact that his daughter gigi was in the accident makes my heart break even more. she was only 13 years old. she had a whole life to live and could’ve possibly made it to the wnba to continue her father’s legacy. i cannot imagine the pain their family is going through rn. rest in peace kobe, gigi, and the passengers 🕊.

"Heroes get remembered, but LEGENDS NEVER DIE!."

Excellent Work💯

For your rivals and opposing players and coaches to shed tears about your death is powerful. People cant help but honor the spirit of someone who is dedicated and dont back down in the face of adversity

"The quality, not the longevity, of one's life is what is important." R.I.P Kobe- "Mamba out" :(

“heroes come and go, but legends live forever” KB’s presence will live on RIP LEGEND

That’s very respectful for both teams 😢😢That’s how a community of supporters supposed to be It’s amazing how 1 person death affects the world and those baby girls

I DIE a little every time I hear Coach Doc River's interview about the passing of the GOAT KOBE
