LET'S TALK ABOUT -- HOW THIS
ALL FIRST STARTED YOUR BORN AND
RAISED IN CHICAGO EARLY YEARS.
>> WE ORIGINALLY FROM CHICAGO
AND MY MOTHER AND FATHER MOVED
US TO LOS ANGELES JUST BECAUSE
WE WANTED -- I HAVE A DIFFERENT
START MY FATHER WAS FINISHING
UP COOL SCHOOL EGG SCHOOLING
WITH COLLEGE AND WE FOUND
OURSELVES INCREDIBLY ENERGETIC
AND BUSY AND THEY WERE LOOK YOU
HAVE TO DO SOMETHING WITH THIS
ENERGY AND PUT US IN A
PERFORMING ARTS SCHOOL, AND WE
DID EVERYTHING FROM SINGING TO
DANCING.
DANCING.
DANCING. I DON'T HAVE A GREAT VOICE.
RIGHT NOW.
RIGHT NOW. SO DON'T ASK ME TO SING.
>> WORKING ON IT.
>> WHEN I WAS A KID I HAD A
GREAT VOICE AND WE GOT INTO THE
ACTING THING.
ACTING THING. AND INTERESTING ENOUGH, IT WAS
THE AGENT OF MALCOLM JAMAL
WARNER WHO PLAYED THEO ON
THECOSBY SHOW SAW LOR OPT BOSS
AND BULLY AND SE SUPER TALENT
BECAUSE HE WAS IN A PLAY AND HE
IS TALENT AND SHE SAYS SHE
WANTED TO REPRESENT THEM.
AND MY DAD SAID WHAT ABOUT
THELITTLE ONE SHE SAID DON'T
WORRY ABOUT THE YOUNG ONE.
AND, THEN YOU KNOW HE SAYS
LISTEN THEY COME AS A PACKAGE
IF YOU GET ONE, YOU GOT TO GO
WITH ALL THREE.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. >> AND I AM HAPPY THAT POPS AND
MOMS TOLD HER BECAUSE NOW WE
CAN SIT HERE TOGETHER.
>> AS A TRIO.
>> TATE'S TRIO.
>> SO AT ANY POINT WHEN YOU
YOUR PARENTS WERE BURNING
ENERGY WITH YOU DID YOU THINK
THIS COULD BE A LIVING?
>> IT WAS A WAY TO STAY OUT OF
TROUBLE.
TROUBLE.
TROUBLE. THAT'S WHAT IT WAS.
BUT THEN AS WE PROGRESSIVELY
GOT INVOLVED IN BOOKING YOU
KNOW, COMMERCIALS AND OR GUEST
SPOTS ON SHOWOUS REALIZE THIS
IS FOR REAL.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. >> WHEN YOU SEE THE PAYCHECK
STUB YOU SAY THIS IS FOR REAL
REAL.
REAL.
REAL. >>
REAL. >> WE DIDN'T -- WE WEREN'T
TRYING TO BE, YOU KNOW, ACTORS
AND MAKE A LIVING.
IT JUST SORT OF CAME TO BE AND
WE STUCK WITH IT.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. ARE YOU JUST BURNING ENERGY OR
DO YOU HAVE CAREERS.
>> WE HAVE A JOB.
WE DO BOTH.
>> YEAH WE ARE BURNING ENERGY.
>> HE IS BURNING ENERGY.
HE IS BURNING ENERGY.
>> GROWING UP IN L.A.,
OBVIOUSLY PEOPLE ARE FOCUS ON
THE DEATH OF KOBE BRYNT.
>> OF COURSE.
>> YOU KNEW AND MET HIM.
>> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. YES.
YES.
YES. YOU
YES. YOU KNOW, SUCH A ICON, A GLOBAL
ICON THIS REALLY ROCKED THE
WORLD TO HEAR THAT NEWS IT WAS
TRULY HEART BREAKING.
WE GOT A CHANCE TO MEET HIM AND
BEING FROM CHICAGO WE ARE BIG
BULL FANS AND WE ROOTED AGAINST
KOBE BUT THE MAN OFF THE COURT
WAS SOMETHING ELSE.
EARLIER IN HIS CAREER HE DID A
LOT OF OUTREACH PROGRAMS IN
L.A.
L.A.
L.A. AND
L.A. AND IN TERMS OF CHARITY AND
WOULD CALL YOU KNOW ACTORS AND
ENTERTAINERS AND WE WOULD COME
IN AND SUPPORT.
AND IT WAS NICE TO SEE HIM GROW
AND EVOLVE AND TO SEE HIM AS A
FAMILY MAN THE WAY HE PUT THE
KIND OF ENERGY INTO HIS
CHILDREN AND SPEND THE TIME
WITH HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN WAS
AMAZING.
AMAZING.
AMAZING. AND SPEAK TO MY WIFE THIS LAST
NIGHT WE COULDN'T IMAGINE WHAT
THAT.
THAT.
THAT. >>
THAT. >> YOU HAVE THREE.
>> FOUR.
>> FOUR.
>> FOUR. FOUR.
FOUR.
FOUR. >>
FOUR. >> SO, YEAH.
>> I HAVE FOUR AS WELL TWO
GIRLS AND TWO BOYS.
>> SO IT'S TOUGH.
>> AND YOU KNOW IT WHEN YOU SEE
THE REACTION IT SPEAKS TO THE
POWER OF ENTERTAINMENT.
WE SEE AN ACTOR PASS IT HITS
PEOPLE HARD OR ATHLETE LIKE HIM
PASS IT HITS PEOPLE HARD.
WHAT IS IT YOU THINK THAT
BRINGS OUT THAT EMOTION IN
PEOPLE WE MAY NOT REACT
NECESSARILY THE SAME WAY WITH
OTHER NEWS.
OTHER NEWS. >> BECAUSE YOU SEE THESE PEOPLE
AND THEY COME INTO YOUR HOME.
MEDIA HAS A VERY -- IT'S VERY
POWERFUL MEDIUM AND SO TO SEE
SOMEONE GO FROM HIGH SCHOOL TO
THE NBA AND TO SEE HIS
EVOLUTION, FOR SO LONG, IT
FEELS LIKE AN EXTENDED FAMILY
MEMBER.
MEMBER.
MEMBER. SOMEONE THAT YOU KNEW.
AND, AGAIN, WHAT HE HAS BEEN
ABLE TO DO TO INSPIRE THROUGH
HIS ABILITIES AND I MEAN THERE
WAS NO PLAYER LIKE KOBE WHEN IT
CAME TO FOCUSING AND TO ACHIEVE
HIS GOALS.
HIS GOALS. I MEAN, THERE'S NOTHING THAT
WOULD STOP HIM.
ONLY THING THAT WOULD STOP KOBE
WAS KOBE HIMSELF.
>> WHY HE.
>> SO, AGAIN, IT'S JUST HARD TO
PUT IT IN WORDS.
WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS LOOK AT
HIS LEGACY, CELEBRATE THE MAN
HE WAS WITH HIS FAMILY AND LIFT
THAT UP TO THINK ABOUT HIS WIFE
AND HIS SURVIVING CHILDREN.
>> REMINDER TO ALL OF US IT CAN
BE GONE.
BE GONE.
BE GONE. >> IT CAN ALL BE GONE.
>> MAKE THE TIME YOU HAVE
REALLY COUNT.
REALLY COUNT. >> AND ALL THE OTHER FAMILIES
THAT WERE INVOLVED WITH THE
ACCIDENT.
ACCIDENT.
ACCIDENT. IT'S A TRAGEDY AND AGAIN I.
THINK IT BRINGS US AS A
COMMUNITY AND WORLD AND PEOPLE
WE LOOK AT HUMANITY.
EVERYONE IS CALLING LOVED ONES
AND LETTING PEOPLE KNOW THEY
CARE AND THINKING ABOUT THEM.
AND.
AND.
AND. >>
AND. >> IN THAT MOMENT NOT.
>> IN THAT MOMENT.
SO, YES.
SO, YES.
SO, YES. >> WITH THAT SAID YOU GET TO
SPEND MORE TIME TOGETHER THAN
MOST FAMILIES BECAUSE YOU DO
WORK TOGETHER.
WORK TOGETHER. >> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. >> YOU ACT TOGETHER ON POWER.
>> RIGHT.
>> RIGHT.
>> RIGHT. >> TELL PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT
FAMILIAR WITH POWER ABOUT
INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH IF YOU
WATCH THE LAST COUPLE EPISODESY
ARE SUCKED IN.
