Kobe and Gigi Bryant Memorial Thread (RIP)

[Lakerman0834]

They should have had Andre bocelli sing Ava Marie instead of Aguilera

Is this what you’re really thinking about during a time like this?

Yah maybe he requested privacy since he was the one who had to deliver the speech during the Lakers game tribute. Other people loved and respected Kobe too. I wasn't even thinking about LeBron during that tribute.

Y’all gotta chill on “where’s bron”.

He’s the face of the league right now and having him all in the video inevitably makes some of the conversation about him, his reactions, etc instead of focusing on the subjects being honored. I’m perfectly fine with no face time from him. you got footage of him off the plane, an IG post and a speech at the lakers game, seems like some of y’all just want to be voyeurs to his mourning at this point. He prolly watched with his family from a box or something.

It was a pretty glaring omission. Almost every other legendary player with a connection to Kobe was there (Jordan, Shaq, Magic, Russell, Kareem, Pippen, Wade, Baylor, Nash, etc). As well as most of the current Lakers team. Then you had many current players including Russ and Harden there when they got to play games later tonight in Houston. LeBron plays for the Lakers. He's in LA. And he has no game tonight. Him not being there was a glaring omission that got people rightfully wondering where he was.

This right here explains it pretty well for those of you who seem to not understand why some of us are concerned with Bron being there

LeBron was there

 

[ALonelyDad]

So Bron was actually there and got no face time when he’s the current face of the Lakers?

He spoke first game after the incident. There are a lot of ppl who didn’t speak who could have spoke (Magic, Jeanie, Phil, Parents/Sisters, Odom, Fish, etc). Not everyone had to speak in this public memorial

Could barely watch Vanessa's speech. That's a strong, beautiful woman.

Funny thing is some people prolly would’ve had something to say even if he had spoke. This is a high profile death of someone near and dear to so many so I can’t say how Bron or anyone should be frfr. He might’ve been too emotional to want to be on camera.

LeBron was there

I don’t see him in that pic. That’s AD lol

 

[a murda]

I wonder why bron didnt want to be seen

I never said he had to speak. I was just surprised he didn’t get any face time on camera. As in I’m surprised ESPN showed everyone besides him. And now we get a photo circled in red where he’s supposed to be and I still don’t see him but LA Times says he was there and that’s a pretty legit source right. I’m guessing he was in a suite with his fam

 

[BK The Great]

Yea the Vanessa clip was really heart wrenching. As emotional as she was you can tell she is very strong. May God keep blessing her with the strength to keep going forward for her daughters sake.

 

[ALonelyDad]

I don’t see him in that pic. That’s AD lol

AD was not wearing a hoodie, they showed him many times. There were ppl who requested not to show on camera. None of his kids, Beyoncé, etc

 

[ALonelyDad]

Didn't and couldn't watch.

I was in my feels watching Nipsey's all morning (last year) and I'd admit not to being his biggest fan.

Fam, I've been cheering against and for Kobe for damn near my entire life...fukk that, bro.

I might look at some highlights in a couple weeks.

But, these last few NBA events, TNT, etc. been laying it on thick.

Rest In Peace, Kobe. Never thought Michael Jordan would be speaking at your funeral, big dog.

MJ speech is must watch whenever you can find strength to watch it

Oh I see. I didn’t even see the hoodie guy at first. Kinda hard to tell who that is but I’d like to believe he was there
