NBA legend Michael Jordan was moved to tears as he fondly remembered his friend and rival Kobe Bryant, whom he said was "like a little brother."
After helping Bryant's widow, Vanessa, down the stairs from the stage when she finished speaking, Jordan was the first NBA player to speak atJordan had a little trouble controlling his emotions as he touched on their on-court battles – "Kobe left nothing in the tank. He left it all on the floor" – and he discussed their off-court relationship – "As I got to know him, I wanted to be the best big brother that I could be.
But perhaps the most memorable part of Jordan's remarks came when he paused to compose himself as tears streamed down both cheeks – and realized the moment would likely become"another crying meme." "I told my wife I wouldn't do this because I didn't wanna see that for the next three or four years, but that's what Kobe does to you,” Jordan quipped.
