The teacher lost his greatest student

Michael Jordan is the Michael Jordan of delivering a speech. Damn.

4 years later and I still tear up every time

Man when MJ cries.... We all cry. RIP Kobe your truly a GOAT.

Hearing MJ speak is the healing the NBA World needed

We're not laughing anymore at the Crying Jordan Meme, Now, we're crying with you, MJ.

The fact he didn’t even try to wipe his tears away cause he knew there would just be more . Respect to any man being able to talk through this type of pain

Never heard a more balanced speech. It had seriousness and comedy in perfect balance. We are human.

Michael Jordan may not know it, but he just comforted all of us with that speech. No-one else’s speech gave me peace like his did. Thanks MJ.

"Please rest in peace, little brother" this line gave me tears honestly

Only a true friend could’ve delivered a message like this …

3 years later, 50 time views and I'm still coming back to this epic Michael Jordan speech.

The crying meme reference lightened the mood and allowed people to smile in the midst of their pain. Even Vanessa laughed. Nicely done Michael, class act.

When MJ talks, everyone listens.

MJ up there crying for real, unlike most of these types of tributes, you can see the tears.

Wow to have Michael Jordan at your memorial service crying...you know you made an impact on this Earth

"He left nothing in the tank" That's how I want to live my life as well. Rest in power Kobe.

"When Kobe Bryant died. A piece of me died" ❤😢

The G.O.A.T. of memorial speeches. R.I.P. Kobe Bean Bryant💜💛

One thing about Jordan...he's authentic ❤

Jordan joking about the memes people make about him crying made me like Jordan that much more .

This is even more touching and heart breaking after seeing the the Last Dance documentary.

MJ is a legend and I'm so proud that I grew up with him during the 80's and 90's

This made me tear up 3 plus years later .. This tragedy was the topic of the last conversation I had with my dad... he passed a few days after Kobe on February 1st 2020. Wasn't even expecting it..I was the one in the Hospital.. He was a big basketball fan of Lakers and Chicago Bulls & Seattle Supersonics when we had a team in Washington.. Rip to Kobe and Gigi and Rip ro my dad ..

Months after his death, it's still hard for me to know that Kobe is no more here.

It's still heartbreaking. When Jordan said "When Kobe Bryant died. A piece of me died" he meant that with everything he had.

This is still one of the most heartfelt, powerful moments in the history of basketball

We all miss Kobe. He was the GOAT. Nobody could stop him. He wasn’t just a great player, he was a great person. He was golden. In the words of mine, I’m alive and Kobe’s dead. He did nothing to deserve this. You may think I shouldn’t be watching this video because I’m 9, but Kobe’s just so great that I couldn’t stop watching this. I have cried every time I watch a video related to Kobes death.

MJ doesn’t appear in public easily, any interview of his are rare let alone a speech and the only time he would let public cry after his retirement is the his hall of fame speech. So to give a speech and cry while all the camera on him, that tell you how much kobe means to MJ.

I like the fact that he let his tears run. Like a true soldier. No need to hide emotions when you loose your comrade. Let the tears flow.

Whole new respect for MJ- Never saw him open up before & love the share of his perspective on Kobe & how he influenced him to be a better parent & human. I cried with him 😢😭

Still brings a tear to my eye every time

I found a new respect for Michael Jordan, never saw this soft, human side of him. He truly loved and will miss Kobe. R.I.P. MAMBA! 🥰🙌🏾💛💜💛💜💛💜

When Jordon speaks, you just listen

this speech transcends basketball, you can relate it to your life, great job Mike, thats why you the GOAT

Jordan. Such a class act. He will never be topped

I like how he mentioned his crying meme. Truly humor is one of the best remedies for tragedy.

the reason this is crazy is you expected Kobe to one day be giving this speech about MJ when he passes not vice versa.

Many people say “He’s just a NBA player” He’s not, he’s a legend. He was another level of love.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

This the most respectful and kindness thing ever to see a legend talk about another legend like that is amazing wish the best but Kobe’s in a much better place

" When Kobe died , a piece of me died " Strong words by the man and I feel like we all can relate to that . RIP Kobe Bryant 💛💜

It will be 3 years In February This Video still puts me in tears RIP KOBE

My god, this will forever go down in history as one of the world’s worst tragedies. 4 years have passed and it’s still hard to fathom what happened and of all people, who it happened to. So difficult to watch this. My how this man was taken from us so much too soon. There was still 50 years of wisdom he had to give us. Unbelievable. Just unbelievable.

His aura is just absolutely amazing

You barely ever see his airiness makes speeches But when you do it’s impactful

Mike getting a smile and laugh out of Vanessa was the best thing his speech could have done. He'll always get props for that.

This still hits me, RIP KOBE

MJ SOUND LIKE A HURT FATHER

This showed a softer side of another legend. The power in that speech that went far beyond the game of basketball. GOD truly used you MJ.

More than 2 years later and I still watch this. SMH. Damn man. RIP Kobe and Gigi as well to the other that lost their lives.

This still makes me emotional to this day, a great tribute that I can only simply because I have no better words than this, game recognizes game

This is the most clutch thing Michael Jordan has ever done. Came through when the world needed him most. Still can't believe we lost such a talented soul so early.

This is probably the most serious speech MJ ever had.

He is the reason i played basketball everyday once i found him. Purple and gold heart. Thank you MJ

This is how The GOAT speaks!

He talks about Kobe like he was his son. Very moving

kobe learned from mj all his life and then in the end it ended up being mj learning from kobe. how to be a better dad and to be in the moment and appreciate being alive.

3 years and I still can't believe he is gone....rip to everyone who died on that tragic day

wow... 2 yrs later and this still gets me teary eyed.

I’m not a basketball fan but I’m in tears..

10:22 "When Kobe Bryant Died, A Piece Of Me Died."

the legendary MICHAEL JORDAN!!!!!!

Michael Jordan speech and emotions along his cries here just one of a kind. so humble and genuine. simply so beautiful

For being the greatest ever, Jordan is extremely self-aware. His confidence doesn’t come across as cocky. Humble in his own way. That’s why he’ll always be the greatest. “When you’re good at something, you’ll tell everyone. When you’re great at something, everyone will tell you.” -Walter Payton

MJ everyone is a meme now because you had the world in tears with that speech. This memorial was one of those days the earth stood still. Incredible display of real emotion and an incredible tribute to a legend.

Everytime I'm throwing something ima say Kobe still Rip Legend

My chest is in a knot every time I think of Kobe and for the life of me idk why I keep coming back to these videos

Shaq looks broken. Months later in the midst of corona, this still hits me hard. If it hits ME this hard, I can’t imagine what his family and teammates are still feeling. Sending love to everyone.

" Heroes Come Go, But Legends Are Still " - Kobe Bryant

Michael, there are not enough words to describe the man that you are. All I can say is thanks, for sharing part of your life with us and giving all you give, even today. You’re an icon, a mentor, a man that millions of us lookup to and will always look up to. You are so special, I’m just glad God let me be here on earth at the same time you’re here, you’re amazing man, and Kobe could not have had a better big brother than you. You’re awesome, and I’m going because I feel the lump in my throat starting to come up and my eyes are tearing up. I skipped you video about half a dozen times because I didn’t want to cry, but, as usual, you win. I couldn’t not listen to you especially talking about Kobe. You’re in league of your own, sir, a force not to be taken lightly and I’m glad that God made you and I got to see and hear you, thanks, Michael Jordan, I love you, thanks for everything. 🎁😮🤹🏼⛹🏽‍♂️🏀

Hero's get remembered but legends never die...

It’s amazing how good of a speaker MJ is. And I’m saying this cause athletes are usually not very eloquent.

,,when Kobe died a piece of me died“ can‘t stop crying

Still my favorite man, Jorden is a legend, Kobe was a legend as well

Lágrimas verdadeiras, muito emocionante relembrar Kobe Bryant de tudo o que ele fez. Que Jeová o nosso bom Deus nos abençoe!👫👫🦁🦁🐵🐵

Mike: everyone wanted to talk about our comparison's I just wanted to talk about kobe 😔

I cryed my eyes out watching Michael Jordan cry like that rip KOBE BRYANT

It's almost 3 years... I still can't believe Kobe is gone... life is so unfair.

I still cry everytime I watch this tribute to my friend Kobe Bryant Rip my brother you are missed truly missed

Beautiful tribute! Michael, you’re the best tribute to the sport world.

No one delivers a speech and a eulogy better than King MJ23.

It's really something else to hear MJ talk about passion, cause when he played, no one played harder. You can tell he is really talking from the heart, 100%.

Im not a person who feels emotional when it comes to interviews like this. But this one might be the only one who's genuinely made me shed a tear

I know Kobe is loving this. The man he idolized and wanted to be like gave the speech at his memorial

“Please Rest In Peace little brother” yuuup I’m bawling my eyes out.

MJ is probably the best spoken NBA player of all time!

To be honored and revered like this, from one of the greatest basketball players of all time, shows how loved Kobe was.

Happy Birthday, Kobe! Still hurts til this day

could you imagine filling the shoes of your idol. then your idol sharing his innermost feelings at your memorial. FATHERS ALWAYS MATTER JUST LIKE MOTHERS

GOAT ... ONE OF HIS BEST SPEECHES

Love you kobe and family, Jordan, and the NBA family 😢

Thank you for this most beautiful tribute Michael Jordan, to your friend/little brother Kobe Bryant. Nothing is more powerful than love, and this love in friendship is so beautiful to hear and see. Thank you for your heartfelt and uplifting words Michael, reminding us to live in the moment and love one another.

Nothing like seeing a man show emotion😭😭😭...I literally can’t hold tears back!

“When Kobe died, a piece of me died...and as I look in this arena and across the globe, a piece of you died...or else you wouldn’t be here.” And that’s why I was out hooping this morning before my exam

RIP Kobe. Michael Jordan’s presence is always so powerful

You can see the love mj had for his friend such a heart felt speech ❤

speech like father lost his son

How can someone even dislike this video is beyond me. Superb speech MJ.

Every Once in a while i watch this..a great reminder on how to be a better person.

Kobe Bryant u will be admired as a basketballl player... And a champion in life..... We will not forget you....
