No, he probably made sure he got a seat where the camera wouldn't be in his face every five minutes like Magic.

I don’t believe that anyone in this thread is shocked that MJ and Kobe were close it is that ever since MJ retired for good he isn’t seen very often in public anymore much less speaking.

I'm not shocked that Jordan not only came to the memorial, but also spoke. He always mentions that Kobe is the only player that even comes close to his level of greatness.
Everyone wants to say that they had a close relationship with Kobe, especially now. But I honestly feel it's just bs. I don't think Kobe had many people in the profession that he was close with. However, I think MJ was one of them. Probably more so after he retired and wasn't chasing his records. They could finally have conversations outside of basketball like I believe MJ mentions in his speech (I haven't watched it yet since I'm at work. Kobe deserves our full attention),

IDK, he seems like the outgoing social-type that never stays home. I'm almost certain that he at least kept in touch with a lot of players, especially the retired ones.

Just got home from the memorial. The amount of star power in that arena was insane. MJ shut it down and Vanessa was so damn strong 
Miss you Kobe!
Miss you Kobe!

Lebron was def there. And maybe I’m reading too much into it but that jab from Diana Taurasi toward him had some animosity behind it. She looked at that ***** on some real vicious **** after she said it

she said: "The same passion we all recognized in Kobe, obviously, Gigi inherited. Her skill was undeniable at an early age. I mean, who has a turn-away fade-away jumper at 11?
LeBron barely got it today."
and looked in his direction afterwards.

Exactly how I felt. Her speech felt written before that, but that part was so sincere and heartfelt. I'm still surprised she managed to speak.

I cried at his jersey retirement. When he passes I'm gonna have to take a week off work.

He never came off as that type to me. He didn't really seem like he was a social guy. I always felt to the NBA Kobe was the villain from a competitive standpoint. The guy who you gotta beat. He seems so engulfed with basketball and wanting to be the best that he didn't care to make friends or hangout. He was always in the gym.
Caron Butler was one of his closest friends. I believe Kobe said somewhere that Pau, Turiaf, Melo, Butler and Fisher were his best friends.
In 2015 Kobe had something in GQ saying he doesn't really have friends.

Just saw the Diana clip, whoa, there was some heat behind that.
This felt more like a hof ceremony than a memorial, and I'm not mad at that.
And it is surprising to see Jordan step up and speak.

my take on the díana thing is the same thing that cats here have been saying. That lebron milking this. That he n Kobe were never “brothers” ... yes they respect each other game. But I truly don’t think Kobe f**** w bron like that. Kobe and Diana must have some great talks we will never hear about .
but then díana is a brand ambassador for lebron Nike line
Edit: i come in peace with this statement... but after the Colorado incident.. I was curious to see how Kobe would bounce back. But my God am i proud of Kobe for the approach and avenue he took. Becoming a advocate for women. Young women and family. RIP KOBE.
myself and Celtic nation thank you

I love how Jordan said he’s gonna be another meme for crying.

I think you’re reading too much into something you have no clue about, personally. I’m sure Diana and Bron know it’s all jokes.
And do remember that Bron just hit a turnaround fade-away just last night to pretty much seal the win.

I could be . And that’s most likely the case. I’m just talking.
