  • -The world was heartbroken yesterday

  • by a helicopter accident in Los Angeles

  • that claimed the lives of nine people,

  • including that of Kobe Bryant

  • and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna.

  • Kobe was such a life force, so strong and creative

  • and inspired that in my head,

  • I thought that he was going to live forever.

  • I met Kobe when he was 17 and I was 21.

  • He was a rookie on the Lakers,

  • and I was just starting out in the comedy scene in L.A.

  • We were at a party, and we didn't know anyone the party,

  • so we just started talking.

  • And I said, like, "Hey, what do you do?"

  • And he goes, "I play basketball."

  • I go, "Where?" And he goes, "For the Lakers."

  • I go, "Wow." He goes, "What do you do?"

  • I go, "I'm a stand-up comic." We just got along,

  • we hit it off, started talking.

  • He was telling me he was into poetry, and I met his sister.

  • She was there.

  • And so, then, the guy that was having the party said,

  • "Hey, guys, who wants to make a beer run?"

  • And Kobe wasn't drinking. He was 17.

  • So he goes, "I'll do it."

  • He goes, "Jimmy, you want to come?"

  • So I go, "Okay." So, I get in the car,

  • it was me and Kobe Bryant.

  • And we -- he's brand-new in L.A., and me too.

  • I didn't know L.A. at all.

  • And we drive down Sunset Boulevard

  • to this place called Pink Dot.

  • It looked like a 7-Eleven.

  • Well, I thought it was a 7-Eleven.

  • You pulled in. And -- But it wasn't a 7-Eleven.

  • Anyway, so I go in, and I open the door and it's locked.

  • And the guy goes, "Sorry, I can't sell you anything."

  • And I go, "We just want to get some beer right there."

  • And he goes, "Yeah, I can't do that."

  • And I go, "But just real quick, we know what it is.

  • It's just there." And he goes,

  • "Yeah, that's not how -- the way this place works.

  • We're delivery only. We're not allowed to sell things."

  • And I go, "Uh, okay."

  • And then Kobe takes out his I.D.

  • and he puts it up against the glass and he goes,

  • "I'm a Laker." [ Light laughter ]

  • And the guy opened the door, and we walked out

  • with five cases of beer and we saved the party.

  • So we saved the party, we say good night,

  • and of course Kobe went on to become a legend.

  • Five NBA titles, two Olympic gold medals,

  • 18 All-Star appearances.

  • One of the most brilliant and most respected players

  • in NBA history.

  • And when we'd run into each other over the years,

  • we'd laugh about that night that we first met.

  • [ Crying ]

  • [ Clears throat ]

  • We'd laugh at all the good things that had happened since.

  • And we'd laugh at how much fun it was to raise kids

  • and all the stupid mistakes we made

  • trying to figure out how to be good dads.

  • And Kobe had four daughters, and I had two daughters.

  • And today, he and one of his girls are gone.

  • But I think I knew Kobe enough to know that he rose

  • to any challenge by digging deeper and getting back to work.

  • So let's honor Kobe, Gianna,

  • and the other lives that were lost yesterday

  • by following his example.

  • Love your family, love your teammates,

  • and outwork everyone else in the gym.

  • To Vanessa and all those affected by this tragedy,

  • we love you and will always be there for all of you.

  • Kobe, when we meet again,

  • we're going on a beer run.
