I just got out from C where we were eating or about to eat my tribe and I
after having come from church interesting day in church because the
kids over brave seem to be squeezing on to one to me in ways that they hadn't in
the past when we were in church and maybe they felt something you know not
just out of the mouths of babes but from the spirits of babes the kids know I
just feel really upset as confused as many of you are I feel like it's tough
being a part of the peer group that Kofi was in and and nipsey was in and as we
celebrate him that night and Coby does his ultimate flight on this Sunday it's
crazy to me his kids
so if anybody needs i guess somewhat of an encouraging word or whatnot kind of
speechless but I just felt like it's encompassing this also coming upon me
and others like me to uh to give the same word that Kobe would give right now
some sort of victorious word and ironically as a private plane flies over
here right now I can given word is just give them roses man while people are
still next to you I always thank God that I'm somebody not afraid to
ironically I was gonna leave a video this week but it it's gonna be directed
to the fans though they feel upset about this show that I was able to be a part
of for six and a half seasons and then being very disappointed as to how it
ended but ironically it ended in a way that is equally as fictional as the
character was fictional that I was I guess gifted enough to bring to life
with the aid of Courtney Kemp and Curtis 50-cent Jackson and stars and the
writers room and everybody that Courtney attire my cast mates the crew but is
fictional you know and ghosts didn't really die because girls never really
existed but there's elements of him inside of me and me inside of him that's
what it is part of my gift part of my crossover part of my fadeaway jump shot
my drive to the hole my ability to score on a football field my ability to
intercept balls on a football field all those things that I actually did it's
not an actual reality that goes past but it's an actual reality
actual human being who got put on this earth was so much more than just
dribbling a basketball the being is dynamic and has gifted at it as he was
and his beautiful tribe and God bless you Vanessa man so just say you love
each other to each other if ain't by out there is listening and wanting these
levels of of confusion to not fade away but to at least subside so you can make
it through the rest of your day night week month next decade next 20 years
it's very upsetting what's happening YouTube fans power fans and all fans
alike today we are gathered in mourning the day at the Kobe bean riot life was
tragically ended due to a helicopter crash and what you're seeing right now
is a video where someone want to be an a-hole they spliced together a
helicopter crash that happened in another country with real parts of the
cleanup and recovery of the Kobe Bryant helicopter crash but what you heard
before this was a Mari Hardwick of power doing two things he was gonna make a PSA
to power fans about the ultimate fate of ghosts and you heard him say what
happened and he was also going to talk about what happened with Kobe Bryant but
Kobe Bryant just took precedence because of what's happening right now this is
devastating to me ladies and gentlemen and if you're expecting this to be a
foreshadowing of Kobe Bryant's basketball accolades this is not gonna
be the right video for you this is gonna be a video from me giving you my
heartfelt thoughts on Kobe Bryant off the court the man and the way he
conducted himself as a father because for those of you that don't know I'm
getting ready to be a father and not just a father a father to a little girl
and Kobe Bryant and I quote said what the hell do I need a son
to pass on a legacy of greatness that can be done through a daughter and I'll
never forget that quote and I follow him as he's done his thing with his
daughters and all the man could do was spit out little girls and he made it
cool to be a daddy raising little girls and we're gonna talk about that we're
gonna recount what we found out so far and go through everything we know about
Kobe Bryant and the future if you follow me for the first time please subscribe
to my channel this video is gonna be under the playlist daddy day home which
is the playlist I was going to start making when I have my first child and
daughter at the age of 40 coming soon she'll be here in July and I'm putting
this is my first video because this is a heartfelt video about a man who was a
legend on the basketball court but starting to be a off-court Legend in
other areas but more importantly and raising this kid take a quick look at
the news clip that has dropped since we've gotten more details in the last
couple of hours about the helicopter crash and the other people that we
cannot forget that was a helicopter crash new reporting on that devastating
crash TJ home starts us off near the scene of the crash in California with a
latest good morning TJ Robin good morning and there are a number of
families in pain this morning after that crash here in this neighborhood and the
hills in this neighborhood behind me that killed nine people but in
particular the loss of Kobe Bryant is hitting the LA community the NBA
community the sports world and in fact people all over the world really really
hard people are in disbelief that this global and cultural icon could be gone
shock and heartache around the world at the news Kobe Bryant dead at 41 years
old killed Sunday when the helicopter he was in crashed in the hills of Calabasas
California also on board his 13 year old daughter Gianna and seven others on
their way to Kobe's Mambo Sports Academy in Newbury Park for Gianna's basketball
game Kobe was expected to coach this photo was taken
the gym filled with kids who had been awaiting Kobe's arrival they kneeled on
the court upon hearing the news Kobe's helicopter took off from Orange County
just after 9:00 a.m. for what was expected to be a short trip but at 9:45
a.m. tragedy the helicopter crashed into the foggy Hills visibility to a
half-smile with haze ceiling 1100 overcast hipster 122.8 before the crash
the LAPD grounded all police helicopters saying weather conditions did not meet
the standard for flight though it's unclear if weather played any role in
the crash we are learning this morning there was an unusual rapid loss of
altitude and increase in airspeed seconds before the crash the NTSB and
the FBI are both at the crash site investigating Kobe often used
helicopters to get around la here he is in 2016
even regularly taking his own helicopter to home games during the NBA season he
loved being in that helicopter he certainly was never really concerned
about it for him to be gone particularly through these means is incredibly tragic
just weeks ago Kobe and Gianna known as Gigi were spotted at a Brooklyn Nets
game having a father daughter courtside moment that went viral I love this fans
showed love for Kobe at the Staples Center and tributes continue to pour in
for the man his fans lovingly call the Black Mamba former teammates Shaquille
O'Neal tweeting there's no words to express the pain I'm going through with
this tragedy of losing my niece Gigi and my brother I'm sick right now and Magic
Johnson called PO be the greatest Laker of all time doing Sunday's games players
paid tribute many of them holding back tears the San Antonio Spurs and the
Toronto Raptors among many of the teams who took a 24-second violation at the
start of the game to honor Kobe who famously wore number 20 for the NFL Pro
Bowl also quickly turned into a tribute
one of the greatest to ever take the court the proud father of four daughters
transcended sports telling me he wanted a legacy beyond basketball that's been
what we do is that who we are we've all been something more outside of our craft
and we look forward to continuing to grow and continue to evolve as people so
ladies and gentlemen just to recap everything that was said 9:06 a.m.
Pacific time January 26 a helicopter owned by Bryant departed from John Wayne
Airport in Orange County California with nine people on board ladies and
gentlemen let's not forget about the other nine people Brian his 13 year old
daughter Gianna they call it Gigi Gigi's peers and their parents now this is
where it's got to pull your heart because it wasn't just one family it was
a whole lot of families college baseball coach John up belly
his wife Carrie and daughter Alyssa Sarah Chester and her daughter Payton
basketball coach Christina Mouser and the pilot Aria Saban the helicopter was
registered to the field more bass island Express Holdings group according to the
California Secretary of State business database the route was traveling to
Brian's Mamba Academy for a practice session when the helicopter crash in
Calabasas due to light rain and foggy weather that morning the LAPD
helicopters and most other air traffic what's grounded the flight tracker shows
that the helicopter experienced issues while above the LA Zoo the helicopter
circled the area six times at an altitude around 850 feet and people that
is not that high at 9:30 a.m. the pilot contacted the Burbank Airport control
tower notifying the tower of the situation at that time the helicopter
experience extreme fog and turns south towards the mountains at 9:40 a.m. the
helicopter climbed to an altitude from 370 to 610
meters fly at 861 knots which is basically 185 miles per an hour at 9:45
a.m. - helicopter crash into the side of the mountain and caballus about 30 miles
northwest of downtown Los Angeles and caught on fire authorities were called
to the helicopter the helicopter passed over boyle's heights near Dodger Stadium
and circled over Glendale during the flight personnel from the Los Angeles
County Department of Fire attended the same the fire had been extinguished by
9:30 by 10:30 a.m. none of the nine occupants survived
initial reports indicate that the helicopter crashed in the hills above
Calabasas in heavy fog witnesses reported hearing the helicopter
struggling before the crash and the fire chief came out and said that one reason
that stopped the fire was it was covered in magnesium the helicopter was now
ladies and gentlemen I mentioned the name of all these other families
involved in this story we cannot forget those other families as well ladies and
gentlemen the story is so touching to me because I'm getting ready to be a dad of
a daughter and Kobe Bryant and what he was doing off the court was inspiring me
to take that mantle to be a good dad to a daughter now I must admit I was never
a fan of his on the basketball court and that's not because he wasn't a good
players just because I'm an East Coast guy I like teams on the East Coast
everybody who knows me knows I'm a fan of the Miami Heat and the Miami Dolphins
so I'm an East Coast guy I didn't care for the West Coast players West Coast
Ashlee's none of that but off the court with his daughter this man showed me a
pathway to how you can no matter whether you have a boy or a daughter
whatever your legacy is can be imparted into a daughter which is certain
greatness and in most cases I have to say all greatness starts with women so
no matter what you have you can impart greatness into it but for a man raising
their daughter it can be tough at times but he showed a pathway to make this
thing really really good and for that it's gonna be his legacy to
me among all the other things he's done now ladies and gentlemen we did have
some buttholes posting stupid ass videos and commentaries such as this the Los
Angeles we cast on the Los Angeles Lakers Los Angeles Lakers community to
stick with of it really cast on the Los Angeles Lakers
when you evaluate the life of someone who dies yes you have to talk about the
things that they've done that might be in error or wrong but the way you couch
those things you catch it based on the overall impression of a person's life
now yes Kobe Bryant did have that one Colorado slip up but you don't couch
that in the manner these people were trying to say it because overall when
you go through the totality of Kobe Bryant's life the man lived a life of
giving back and of charity not to mention he was able to legally overcome
what happened in Colorado and his wife stood by him and stood by a side to
overcome those things which is an achievement off the court just to have
go through such a thing and have your wife stick by your side with all the the
breaking trust the breakdown in a family dynamic and to have them stay by side to
overcome it legally you have to couch it in that way and not just make these
hater as statements the way these people try to do so yes when you have
situations when people die you have to go through their whole life but when it
comes through the person just dying in this manner you have to be careful by
the way you approach it obviously you can tell those people could care less
about Kobe Bryant because they didn't couch what happened to him in the
correct manner but I am here to say as a person who was not a fan of him on the
court I am a complete fan of who he was off the court the man won the Oscar he
was writing children's books he was writing short stories but more
importantly to me the man was being a great father to daughters and I commend
him I wish his wife Vanessa well I wish all the other families in the situation
well and we all need to take a moment right now to think that if we have loved
ones and petty squabbles with those loved ones to really evaluate how short
life can be how fragile our life is as human beings Kobe Bryant is probably
touching the heart of so many people going back a quarter
century because we had an opportunity to see him from 17 years old to 41 and the
maturation from him being a teenager to a grown man having adult
responsibilities to becoming a father and raising kids and trying to do things
the right way once he decided to open up his life to the media and for that it's
why I did this video for his legacy of being a father to daughters that is why
I did this video it inspired me it's given me a pathway to be a great father
to a door to myself please leave me all your comments about how you feel about
this whole situation what you think Kobey's Brian lasting legacy is and if
you haven't done it already squash beef you have with someone that
you love go hug your loved ones right now make each and every day a memory to
family friends and people you care about because none of us know when that day is
gonna come when it is our last one that's going to do it for this video
