Whenever Mr West speaks about Kobe, I feel his love and pain.
-
Rest In Peace Kobe Bryant 1978-2020 and Jerry West 1938-2024
-
Its hard watching West go through this. He was the closest person to Kobe. Micky isn't supposed to bury Rocky.
-
God damnit, Jerry making me tear up.
-
I can tell Jerry is still hurt by Kobe’s passing, “the logo” and “the black mamba”. 2 greats.
-
Everytime he talks about Kobe he starts welling up thats true love right there😢😢
-
Jerry was the best scorer of his generation. Of course he can see Kobe's talent.

Grown man tears whenever Jerry West -- The LOGO -- talks about his love, respect and appreciation for Kobe Bryant.
-
Their relationship was beautiful.
-
I really do feel bad for Vanessa this week. She needs to be reminded annually that two of her loved ones are gone. She can't escape the nightmare that they're gone. Always a reminder.
-
When you hear all these great stories, it makes people sadder that Kobe is gone. We can't ignore his tributes. But it hurts so much when someone who was so good is gone in an instant.
-
You can hear Jerry West's voice like a caring and loving father would talk about his son
-
This one got me in the feels.
-
Man this hurts. Mad respect to Jerry West.
-
"I love you like a son"--Jerry West. He meant that. Kobe meant the world to him. Look at how proud he looked at him before that embrace.
-
Man this just reminds me of the sadness that I felt last year when I heard the news. The person who spoke about Kobe that really hit me the most is when I heard Mr. West's reaction to the tragedy on TNT. Ugh awful feeling to relive.
-
Rest in Love Kobe, GiGi and the rest the beautiful souls that were lost. 🙌❤️
-

In 2023 I’m coming back I’m still misty eyed. Gosh it’s still hard on lot of people.
