Naming the other victims to begin his speech was a first class move by LBJ. Say what you want about his talk regarding basketball, when its not about the game he knows just what to say. Incredible from the heart speech.

@jumpinjohnnyruss 4 жыл бұрын

It wasn't too classy to pronounce them wrong. Was he angry with the pilot? Is that why he mispronounced his name? Or did he just not bother to make sure he knew the names because nobody's going to dare to criticise him? As far as the speech goes, it was pretty corny to do the whole "they told me to say this, but I'm going to speak from the heart" routine. He knows how to work a crowd, especially when the crowd is begging to be worked.

Everytime I click on a video about Kobe I still can't believe it. I'm clicking and crying and can't process it truly. Kobe was special, his impact was divine. It's a sad fact that some of the most impactful people die too soon...I think of Jesus Christ, Martin Luther King Jr., Tupac and I'm sure you can add to the list. Keep Vanessa in your prayers especially after all of the attention fades. 💔😥❤💕🙏🏾

I'm a die hard Kobe fan, but something we are all guilty of is looking at our favorite celebrities as gods in a sense we see them do great things we can't imagine doing and our perception of them is more than human. But at the end of the day we are all mortal and transcend after our time here is up, when you just think about it it's hard to come to the fact we are not going to live forever. But while we are here we need to do our best to live our very best lives...
