Man I went through all the emotions in that span of time. It could've lasted another 12hrs and I would've loved every second
R.I.P Kobe Bryant.

Or maybe the tragedy of suddenly losing a friend and brother can do that to you? Why associate being a family man with being “soft”?

Jordan speaking was sort of a shock but he needed to because Kobe idolized him... a great and stand up thing for Jordan to do.

I’m shocked that MJ spoke today. He is rarely in the spotlight these days. That is what KB8 meant to him.

Hey man, I didn't mean it as a diss. I respect everything he said and did in being there. I was just stating that Jordan's heart has gone softer. Not him as a man. I used it more in the sense of a societal term.
One thing I've learned, as a family man myself, is that real men can express emotions and understand how precious life really is. If anything, it's like that statement made in Dark Knight Rises about not having fear/not caring doesn't make you strong, but having fear/caring is what actually makes you man. Most men, don't realize that until they are a family man. I'm not sure if younger Jordan (late 30s/early 40s) would've been there. Even others in this thread have noted that him speaking and being there is a little out of character. I'm personally glad he was. It shows development and growth, which I love to see in heroes and role models.

I guess im in the minority. I was hoping and expecting MJ to speak.
MJ would prob the one Kobe would called up for his HOF intro

As a Bulls fan growing up, MJ showing this level of humility and talking about his and Kobe’s friendship leaves me without words. MJ is so arrogant he doesn’t recognize anyone so for him to speak on Kobe’s greatness is a amazing sight
