I've watched three Jerry interviews and he's a mess in all of them. He clearly saw Kobe like a son and no parent wants to bury their son.

Someone please keep an eye on Jerry... He's older and has a lot of pain in his heart. Older ones tend to decline health wise during heartache... Keep him close

I know Kobe is hugging you on the other side right now

"You can't get much done in life if you only work on the days when you feel good." - Jerry West

Jerry West is maybe the classiest and most humble exec in professional sports

Jerry West is 81.. we need to appreciate are legends while there still here

“You cannot ever lie to a player.. never” Jerry West deserves to be the logo forever. He epitomizes class and respect. He’s what every man should strive to be character wise.

"You can't play for that owner." He knew Sterling was a bad man, and loved Kobe so much he didn't want him to play for him.

Jerry is such a private person... seeing him like this is just.... wrong somehow. Really seems like he lost a son.

Jerry is really suffering like crazy... when he said "I really don't know if I can get over this, I really don't know..." it broke my heart

Right now Jerry and Kobe are having awesome 1 on 1 games right now in the heavens. Rip Kobe and Rip Jerry West

I'm heart broken, he is truly a man of God, you can't find a better human being than Jerry west, he's a better human being than he was a player, he is with Kobe in heaven now, rest in paradise Mr West😢💙

That pain on Jerry’s face, I feel that. This hurts...

Mr.West calls Shaq Shaquille every time he mentions him and that alone shows you the respect he has for the man. That is amazing.

RIP Mr. West 💔

R.I.P. Bryant and West 💙💛😞

this is probably without a doubt the saddest thing that's happened in the sports community

he's 81 and mourning a 41 yo. he can't believe he has to do this.

I'm here cause of today 😭 rip Jerry West and Kobe Bryant 😭 june11,2024

RIP Mr. Jerry West. You finally get to see your brother. Enjoy the reunion.

One of the hardest things of all this is seeing how much he was loved and respected by so many people. Jerry West is a class act.

RIP KOBE AND JERRY!! 2 🐐

Watching this again 2 years later and I still get choked up. Jerry’s raw emotion is so powerful. RIP Kobe

They're together again now, RIP Mr. Logo, Jerry West.

" I don't know if I can over this, I really don't" - Jerry West. Man that part killed me

Jerry stated that his own son used to drive Kobe around his rookie year thats how much Kobe meant to them. Keep an eye on Jerry, he’s too old to deal with this type of stress...

First Bill and now Jerry. Rip these legends. I hope Kobe welcomes them up there.

Rest in peace to Kobe and Jerry 🙏🏾

7:48 I feel like Shaq saw Jerry about ready to lose it after he said that and Shaq stepped in and actually made him laugh 20 seconds later. It takes a very special and strong man to do something like that.

RIP Jerry west you and Kobe both in heaven

Rip Jerry west 😞 and I know him and Kobe Bryant will see each other

"you can never lie to a player... EVER" The Logo giving other executives and GM's the most important rule on how to negotiate/communicate with players.

Rip Jerry West

RIP Jerry. Take Care of Kobe up there ❤️🍀

Jerry is a goldmine of a man. You don’t see class like that these days. What a dear, precious man. Pray for him💔

RIP to two legendary shooting guards

"Mr. West". I love that Shaq still shows him that respect.

R.I.P Mr West I hope you got back with your brother and Kobe Bryant in the after life knowing Kobe he probably waiting for a 1 vs 1 😂 R.I.P Legend

I respect Jerry West on another level now.

Like Bruce Lee before him, Kobe is/will be immortalized. His legacy will last forever. His impact to the game of basketball speaks for itself but what will transcend his immense popularity as an athlete/celebrity is the wisdom and philosophies he shared with the world, particularly with the younger generation. His wisdom on basketball, approach to life, work ethic etc. is very similar to the martial arts legend who also died much too soon. Kobe's legacy will be similar. The game will inevitably evolve and the future, newer, younger generations may never truly appreciate his game but people will still be quoting and reciting Kobe's wisdom 100 years from now.

RIP Jerry West ❤

Anyone here after Jerry's passing? Rest easy Mr. Clutch.

Shaq and Kobe called him "Mr. West". Great man. You can tell he cared about Kobe

WHAT NO WAY man. I was literally just looking at Jerry’s wiki like two days ago thinking how he was getting up there and we probably wouldn’t have him much longer 💔 I hate that he passed not on good terms with the Lakers ownership. Disgraceful how Jeannie treated him. Rest in peace in legend

Rip Jerry West true legend of the NBA

R.I.P Jerry West , I know you’re up there with Kobe.

Although Jerry West was a great player, coach, GM, and basketball mind, he has an even bigger heart.

RIP Jerry

Jerry west is a Legend

RIP JERRY WEST!!!!!!!!!!!!! NBA LOGO....U will forever live as long as basketball lives in this world.....

we can't lose you either jerry, please take care of yourself.

They always said The Jerry’s loved him the most.

RIP Jerry West. Enjoy sharing the court with Heaven's MVP.

Rest in Peace Legend the logo. 😢

Heaven just held its first draft. David Stern is at the podium."hello everyone and welcome this is the first annual heavens gate NBA draft brought to you by good people. And with the first pick in the draft heaven selects Gianna Bryant number 13 out of Newport Beach California. With the second pick in the draft heaven selects Kobe Bryant out of Parenthood and hearts worldwide ... We love you Kobe Gianna and the irreplaceable 7 lives lost . We are standing by with Stuart Scott and Craig sager as they have Alyssa altobelli standing by to discuss her free agency and wanting to join Gianna Bryant and forming a superteam . 😢😢😢

Jerry’s love for Kobe was as deep as Vanessa and his daughters’ love for him. Jerry really looked at him like a son. Imagine believing in a kid since he was 17 and he actually accomplished all the things you knew he was capable of doing. Then after 20 years he retires after an amazing career and gets to enjoy the rest of his life with his daughters and wife. He truly looked happy to be able to spend his time with the people he loved the most. Then out of nowhere his life gets cut short like this, it’s truly heartbreaking. Rip mamba! I will always appreciate what he did for the game. I’ll make sure my kids and their kids know about him. He was a bad man! An assassin on the court like no one else. The basketball world will never be the same! 🐍💔

"I don't think I can get over this, I really don't." - That hit me in the feels. My god, it's like watching a man who just lost his son.

Rip Kobe and Jerry

Love the shot Jerry took at Donald Sterling at 7:18

I cannot imagine how painful it is for Jerry to get over this and at the same time share the story to the media. I believe this is his way to expressing condelence to Kobe and I respect Jerry for that. Thank you Jerry. We miss you already Kobe and Gigi

RIP Jerry and Kobe 🙏🏾

Kobe was to honor and remwmber Jerry at his funeral. Not the other way around. Tragic.

“I don’t know if I can get over this I really don’t” 💔💔 we feel the same way Mr west 7:52

I’ve had 2 nights of sleep on it and it still doesn’t feel real. It feels like a superhero died 😖💔

I know it hurts his soul because he brought him to LA but Kobe died a legend RIP ❤

Rip the logo 🥹🥹🥹🥹

Jerry loved Kobe so much... he gave him Pau.

Jerry West is the logo. Him talking about Kobe like he lost a son, how he adored Kobe, him being so choked up. If Jerry West is the symbol of basketball, then basketball itself, literally cried and lost a son when Kobe passed away.

here after Mr. West passed away. a group of legends sitting around and everyone gives thier attention to Jerry, you can see they revere him. RIP

Jerry West is truly heartbroken 💔. Man that hit hard hearing him say he couldn’t get over this

Watching this again, and now Jerry reuniting with Kobe up there, feels more heart wrenching. Thank you Mr West

Bruh jerry west makes me cry every time !

The fact that Jerry West steered Kobe away from the Clippers, despite it being against his own best interest, because he knew what a piece of trash Donald Sterling was and is, says everything you need to know about Mr. West’s character.

R.I.P JERRY WEST

Jerry West the NBA logo, got me in tears over here.

Have to respect Jerry for keeping Kobe away from the Clippers and Sterling.

It’s crazy out of everybody that spoke on him you can tell jerry really loved Kobe like a son he respected that man on so many levels

and now watching this again.... RIP Jerry :(

This was *Kobe's* dad and he was *Jerry's* son. So it's hard to see a father burying his son. I could listen to *Jerry* talk for years, this is truly touching😭

I’m from New Zealand, grew up in the hood of New Zealand in a rural town. Kobe has never met me or knew I existed and the past two days I have been mourning. I cried driving home from work yesterday. If anything, that shows how big Kobe is around the world. A grown man that doesn’t have any connection to Kobe apart from being a fan half way around the world is mourning. Such a sad day. I hope his family especially his wife, his other kids are supported and blessed for the rest of their lives! Never hold grudges, be thankful and let your loved ones know you love them everyday. Respect to all of the men that came on the show today to express their emotions, feelings, and experiences. I’m not religious but God bless you all!

You could tell Jerry loved Kobe so much

I really respect that he followed Jerry's advice and not leave the Lakers

Wow, this is the most emotional man, who has cried and shown the most emotions for Kobe in front of the cameras. Watching Jerry West break down, and say he felt like a father to Kobe, there is absolutely no way Kobe would want anyone to replace Jerry West as the NBA logo.

one of the most tortured men in NBA history. I feel terrible for Jerry.

Rip to the logo, hope he and Kobe are 1v1 ing in heaven rn

Jerry West epitomizes class Great player Great GM Greater person

As much as it hurts to watch Shaq and MJ talk about him, this hits soooo much harder. Kobe was a little brother to MJ and Shaq, he was a son to Jerry.

The LOGO paying respect to the GOAT is pure GOLD!

Jerry really loved Kobe RIP

Kobe was like his son. I feel for Jerry

2:05 Shaq looks absolutely dead inside. They are both hurting so bad

I still in Tears today after see Mr West talking about Kobe

RIP Logo...Say Hi to Kobe and Gigi for us.

KOBE WAS JERRY'S SON IN HIS HEART AND IN KOBES ❤

Jerry was Kobe's second Dad and mentor. His tragic death was so deeply painful!

I think Mr Jerry West is the best president a basketball operations or whatever his position is but to me he's not just that he's an honest person and that's rare truly a great man

Kobe's death did something to me very profound, I can't really explain it but his death kinda changed everything I knew or thought I knew about life, & the meaning of it all! R.I.P. Kobe! I'm a Knicks fan but I loved ur games in the Garden, even tho u killed us way more than not, lol, u was the G.O.A.T. wit Jordan, u did it, u proved to all of us that u was just as good as MJ!💪✌

Rip Jerry. This is the first video that i remembered after i heard about Jerry's death. Rest in peace best Laker ever. We love you

They say blood doesn’t make you family and obviously we can see Jerry’s pain as he’s mourning the loss of his son Kobe. Such a tragedy, hope God gives you strength to in this difficult time Jerry......

Jerry is class personified. Love 💜💛
