He seemed the happiest just talking about his daughters. Legend forever. Rest well Mamba. Rest easy little GiGi.

I can't believe his kids won't have their dad anymore. He will be forever missed.

Imagining listening to the coaches advice when Kobe is your dad

It’s hilarious how he talked about how his daughter said “but the coach said.”

Ppl like Kobe don’t come around often. Just sucks to lose him and his daughter 💔💔

Terrible day, for the entire world of sports. RIP to Koby and his daughter. Just truly sad, and heartbreaking. RIP to the 7 other victims. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Omg the fact that he calls them “Mija” just shows how much he loves vanessa’s Mexican background cuz that’s what Hispanics call their daughters 🥺🥺

Kobe is probably the best talk show guest ever. There are never any awkward moments, he’s charming, polite, respectful, hilarious, energetic, knows how to articulate himself well, and is just a wealth of knowledge. I loved watching his post-retirement guest appearances and interviews the most because he was so happy and always sharing stories about his family or memorable moments from his Lakers career. It’s bitter sweet watching them now just knowing how genuinely happy he was and how much excitement he had for the future, then to have his life cut short so abruptly... I feel like I can’t get through one of these without crying now... sigh. It’s not hard to see why the world is mourning as hard as they are over his death, even after so many weeks have passed. Just watching Kobe on TV, on the court and in countless interviews over the last 20 years, you really feel like you’ve gotten to know him on a personal level with just the way he carries himself. God, I’m going to miss him. This one will forever hurt.

like, "Dude, I'm Kobe Bryant." im dyinggg

Damn he looks so happy to be retired

“But coach said...” Kobe: 🤦🏾‍♂️

What makes his passing so hard to accept is that there wasn't any self-destructive behaviour in him. Kobe was at the happiest point of his life when he died so unexpectedly. What makes the whole event incredibly sad was that his daughter he couldn't stop talking about died with him, and that 7 other people died with them who all have loved ones whose lives dramatically changed overnight. Jan 26, 2020 was the time when the news just couldn't stop getting worse.

its sad that he won’t get to see his daughters grow up into a woman and his kids won’t get to see they sister everyday anymore

To think this happy laughing man was once the fierce competitor that dominated the NBA

He’s seriously so happy talking about his kids 😭

Still doesn’t seem real. Rest In Peace to everyone who lost their life and prayers to the families and the entire world. This one hurt everyone

All the folks here saying things like, "He needs to have a son" and, "He just has to keep trying until Vanessa pops Mamba Jr." -- apparently y'all didn't hear about the time some reporter asked him if he hoped to have a son to carry on his legacy. He just laughed and said, "No, Gigi’s got this!”

I can not even fathom the pain His wife is going through, Prayers for her and her family’s wellbeing and everyone lost in the crash. RIP

That man loved being a dad. The way his face lit up any time someone mentioned his daughters was just precious.

Gigi and Kibe did everything together. She followed his footsteps, and wanted to become a famous basketball player just like her dad, they even entered heaven together, rip Kobe and Gianna! We will always love you! You will always be in our hearts and we will always remember you forever and ever.

It's awesome seeing him THIS happy! I don't think I've ever seen him this happy during an interview

It’s so sad to see such a happy man pass away, not to mention his daughter. God I can’t believe it

The whole situation is sad. He won’t walk them down the aisle like he deserved to. Nor will he see them graduate and what’s even more sad is one of them (GiGi) won’t get to do that at all 😔 this is so damn heart breaking! Only 41 and 3 years out of retirement and Gigi’s whole life ahead of her. PRAYERS FOR VANESSA AND HIS DAUGHTERS! MAY THEY FEEL THE SPIRIT OF COMFORT AS THEY GRIEVE THROUGH THIS HORRIFIC TRAGEDY AND TREMENDOUS LOSS! 💜💛💜💛💜 we were blessed to have you here at all Kobe!

Seeing his smile god kobe was such a genuine soul this still doesn’t doesn’t feel real I can’t believe it’s real 💔

I can't believe he's gone. Such a beautiful Dad.

If I was the coach, I would be really anxious after seeing Kobe talking to his daughter

Looks like he enjoys Jimmy's interviews... Jimmy and him look like they had alot of fun together

One of the saddest thing is that his 2 youngest kids will not have a clear memory of him. They’ll only know him through stories and interviews like this. Nevertheless, we can all see how great of a person he is, and they’ll both know him as that too. Rest in peace, legend. #Mambaforlife

Kobe to daughter - "so tell me.... Who's name do you shout when you make an amazing shot...?"

if i were his kids coach and found out she wasn't listening to him, i'd be like 'wtf listen to your dad!!'

best episode of Kobe Bryant ever of him talking about her daughter, Gianna

Ugh this is so heartbreaking -Won’t be able to walk his girls down the aisle -Has a 3 year old and a 7 month old who will probably barely remember their daddy and their sister -Won’t get to celebrate wedding anniversaries -Natalias 17th birthday was like 2 weeks ago and she lost her daddy and sister Like holy shit there are so many other sad things/milestones I am just so upset. No one even could every expect that those holidays spent together were their last. Can the FAA please mandate the instrumentation necessary to navigate in heavy fog now please so no one has to go through this again!? RIP to everyone on board. Such a tragedy.

lol jimmys actually funny when he has a genuine reaction

Anyone else here after the news? R.i.p Kobe Bryant and His Daughter and everyone else who lost there lives on the helicopter

Kobe : "Come here..*start telling how to do the game right. His daughter : "But the coach said.." Kobe : "Oh GOD." OMG I LOST IT. TOO FUNNY. I CAN'T. LOVE HIM SO MUCH.

I love how he called his daughters “mija” which is a slang term Latinos use for their daughters which is just sweetie. I dunno. That’s cute.

I watch Kobe his whole career and I've never seen him this happy and excited...he finally can take off all the armor and be his self... God bless you bro appreciate what you did for Los Angeles and basketball in general...

Damn Kobe looks ridiculously happy. Probably because he doesn't have to deal with playing on a lottery team anymore. Heartwarming to see

He doesn’t go anywhere. He’s still in our heart forever.

I just can‘t stop crying, my prayers go out to everyone who lost someone on that horrible disaster

I could watch Kobe interviews the entire day

This is so sad. His poor children :(

dude this really, really, really hurts. he was really proud of his daughters and now he wont get to see them grow up and and lost one of them.

Kobe bryant is in the hall of fame list of 2020🎖️....how sad he won't be able to deliver his speech😢🙁... Rest in peace mamba🕊️❣️... The world misses you!!! 🌍😔😔♥️U will never be forgotten., atleast by me. 💕💕💕💐💐💐🕊️🕊️

He always seems so genuine. RIP, you will never be forgotten.

Heart breaking. Rest in peace, Kobe, Gianna and the others.

Just seeing him laugh even though he’s not here anymore but his laugh I never was a sport fan but he seems like such a lovely person.

You can see how much Kobe loved Jimmy! His body language is so comfortable and he’s smiling and laughing

“The moment you give up is the moment you let someone else Don’t let tragedy win. Use his legacy as motivation and don’t let him be forgotten.

Just hearing his voice knowing he’s gone makes my eyes leak

This is how I want to remember him. That smile lit up the room. I’ve been in a funk watching his videos ever since he died.💔

I just love hearing how he spoke of his daughters. Rest easy Mamba & Mambacita 💛 💜

No Mamba Jr. 😭

now he’s shooting hoops up there in heaven with his precious little girl Gigi. rest easy kobe n gigi♥️

Honestly I cant imagine his kids having another father, Kobe looks like such a fun dad I just can’t believe I mean no one was really talking about for a long time and out of nowhere it Kobe out of everyone that has died RIP legend gone but not forgotten 😢😢😭😭

He is an example of ‘legends never die’

Who is here after his death today 😩😭can’t be true .

If KOBE BRYANT is your dad you better take basketball tips from him... smh

Not a basketball fan so I never realised how much of a positive light this well and how much he meant to so many people he’s got to be in a better place because he always took the best place with him Love and respect to the family RIP legend Kobe

he’s actually the sweetest 💕

Just watching this brings tears poor Kobe and Gianna were too young to go such a tragedy that no one expected to happen to a legend and his daughter

Watching kobe interviews after hearing about his tragic death..

Cant believe hes gone. You can see he was such a cool dad and loved his kids a lot. RIP

"¡Hey, Mija Mija, come here!" ❤

Rip... Kobe. A legend he was. He will always be with us! And for his daughter, Gianna. A legend in the making. Rest in peace. Prayers for his family. ❤️❤️❤️

Kobe will keep popping them babies, until he gets Mamba JR

I love watching Kobe's talk show in these old days. It was sad, but also gave me valuable lesson that you need to enjoy every moment in your life with your family. I could see his happy face whenever he talked about his daughters. RIP Legends.

You can tell they really like each other and go way back. Best interview with Kobe is with Fallon. He really loves Fallon. Fallon has a warmness other late night hosts dont have. RIP Kobe and GG and all the other people involved. So sad

RIP Kobe and Gianna you will be remembered and no one will take your title as the Black Mamba. 🙏😢😭🙏

The way Jimmy Fallon feels about Dora the Explorer is the way I feel about Jimmy Fallon.

Amongst all the greatness he carried, shared and inspired others.. we will never see him sing a Disney song again. My thoughts are with all that are hurting. 💜

This clip uplifted me during all the sadness. Kobe brought lessons FAR beyond basketball that will live on forever. He taught how to bring excellence into all aspects of life and best of all, how to love your family! To show and give that kind of loving foundation is beyond words and ripples out into the world. He was a special human being! Hugs & love to all the Byant family.

Kobe Bryant is a cool dad 👍

Instead of saying "Kobe" the next time you throw paper into a trash can, say "For Kobe." Make that shot for him. Make that shot for Kobe Bryant, and honor him like the legend he is and will always be.

I was laughing and crying at the same time, that is all we are left with sweet memories. Thank you, Jimmy Fallon, for sharing. Kobe Bryant lives forever in our hearts a Legend is born.

Kobe was a phenomenal & funny Dad. Just hearing the joyfulness in his voice when he speaks of his kids is unreplaceable. Miss You Much Kobe.💜💛

RIP Kobe and Giana Forever fly high

"Team no sleep" that hit so hard hearing that after the news of his passing 😔

I love you kobe pls come back pls😭 its been a 3days can get over it. I watch him in youtube over and over.

I hope that his daughters will some day grow up to be as successful as him, and continue his legacy. Miss Mamba for Life.

R.I.P. legend You will always be in our hearts

No kids listen to their parents. Even if your 5 time champion and one of the greatest to ever doit lmao

We will love you forever Kobe. Forever. Can't stop tearing.

R.I.P legend.. we will NEVER EVER forget you.. send prayers to the lost one families🙏🙏😥💔

RIP to Kobe and Gianna Bryant Prayers to the Bryant family

i still cant believe he's gone. RIP Kobe.

He is over joyed when he speaks of his daughters! Love this guy❣️💛💜

God....he is to be loved. Just pure genuine.

Probably a blessing he didn't have a son. The pressure on that kid would be miserable.

I bet when Kobe goes to his daughters game, everybody stares at Kobe not the game

You can just feel his energy through the screen. He was really living his best life. I am still in shock! R.I.P. to my G.O.A.T.

He will be remembered for years to come Rest In Peace you legend 💛💜💛

It's so sad that so many people in their lives live one time only and they'll never ever see them again. I'm sorry that Kobe was gone too soon. #ripkobebryant #wewillmisskobebryant 😔🙏🏻🕊️

He was a one of a kind. Rip Kobe

Kobe’s kids will watch these old interviews and videos of their dad and hopefully will go through the comments and see how much their father was an inspiration and amazing dude

He had such a kind, angelic presence. He’ll be missed ❤️

He was such a happy person. He didn’t deserve to go.

This is tragedy. He seems like such a genuine person. Rip to Kobe and everyone on that helicopter.

I am not a basketball fan but a huge fan of yours as a humanbeing. I love your dedication and love to your family. Left NBA at the height of your career - choosing family over career and can say only few would do that. An inspiration to us that no amount of money, success can really make someone happy- but family and love. Your legacy will continue in our hearts. Rest in heaven Mamba.

These videos will always and forever hit different
