Jordan spoke at the memorial service following Bryant’s tragic death last year:

“Kobe was my dear friend; he was like a little brother,” Jordan said in February 2020. “When Kobe died, a little piece of me died. …This kid had passion like you would never know. As I got to know him, I wanted to be the best big brother that I could be.”

Kobe made an appearance in ESPN’s The Last Dance documentary and credited Jordan with helping him early in his career.

This is going to be a real tear jerking moment.
