00:00:00,110 --> 00:00:04,080
An outpouring of grief outside Staples
2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,259
Center home of the LA Lakers where Kobe
3
00:00:07,259 --> 00:00:10,080
Bryant spent most of his career. He died
4
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,809
in a helicopter crash with his 13 year
5
00:00:12,809 --> 00:00:15,929
old daughter and seven others. Thousands
6
00:00:15,929 --> 00:00:17,609
have come to mourn at this growing
7
00:00:17,609 --> 00:00:23,580
memorial.
- Kobe was my son's basketball
8
00:00:23,580 --> 00:00:27,269
idol and I allowed him as a little boy
9
00:00:27,269 --> 00:00:30,300
growing up to watch Kobe play and
10
00:00:30,300 --> 00:00:35,070
brought him to the Staples Center. So I'm
11
00:00:35,070 --> 00:00:37,680
here to kind of bring closure to a
12
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:43,579
family and to let his family know that.
13
00:00:43,579 --> 00:00:48,020
We care about them and love them and
14
00:00:48,020 --> 00:00:51,870
we'll always have them close to us in
15
00:00:51,870 --> 00:00:52,579
our heart.
16
00:00:52,579 --> 00:00:56,160
Kobe came from Philadelphia
but made LA his own
17
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,469
- They bring a lot of people
18
00:00:58,469 --> 00:01:01,109
together he did a lot for the community
19
00:01:01,109 --> 00:01:03,270
and he's not even from LA but
20
00:01:03,270 --> 00:01:04,619
you know he's from Philly but he still
21
00:01:04,619 --> 00:01:06,439
did a lot for the community. You know,
22
00:01:06,439 --> 00:01:09,479
you know, he gave me back.
23
00:01:09,479 --> 00:01:12,720
Touching many lives.
- He's you know like a celebrity
24
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,790
you've never met him but like when I was
25
00:01:14,790 --> 00:01:16,350
younger I broke my leg and I would just
26
00:01:16,350 --> 00:01:18,390
sit at home well everyone oh it was out
27
00:01:18,390 --> 00:01:19,920
playing and I would just watch him play
28
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,360
and it's just like he was just like
29
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,479
somebody to to help you keep going and
30
00:01:24,479 --> 00:01:27,000
it's just like yeah like part of your life.
31
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,360
Students at Marymount California
32
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,740
University also grew up with Kobe Bryant
33
00:01:33,740 --> 00:01:36,960
-2005 6/7 years old he's bringing
34
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:38,729
championships to LA. They're having the
35
00:01:38,729 --> 00:01:41,070
parades. You see everything's Kobe and
36
00:01:41,070 --> 00:01:43,890
it's like you grew up idolizing him.
37
00:01:43,890 --> 00:01:46,829
His intensity was inspiring.
- You kind of
38
00:01:46,829 --> 00:01:49,079
taught a lot of people how to live life
39
00:01:49,079 --> 00:01:50,579
and just go for everything that you
40
00:01:50,579 --> 00:01:52,229
possibly could think of I get what you
41
00:01:52,229 --> 00:01:54,720
want and get we deserve.
He overcame
42
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,840
obstacles a quotation from Kobe Bryant
43
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,450
on recovering from an injury inspired
44
00:02:00,450 --> 00:02:02,010
another fan.
45
00:02:02,010 --> 00:02:04,110
I have the the quote here on my phone
46
00:02:04,110 --> 00:02:07,500
actually and I sometimes look at it to
47
00:02:07,500 --> 00:02:08,130
kind of like find strength.
48
00:02:08,130 --> 00:02:10,590
Coping with the shock
49
00:02:10,590 --> 00:02:13,620
of lives cut short in a tragic accident
50
00:02:13,620 --> 00:02:16,230
a sports icon among the victims
51
00:02:16,230 --> 00:02:21,620
