It was two years ago today the world lost Kobe Bryant.

Stephen A. Smith paid his respects to Kobe Bryant today as he took to First Take with a Top 5 list of Kobe’s greatest moments throughout his career.

Of course, Kobe accomplished a lot through the 20-year span of his career, however, there are certainly some moments that immediately come to mind.

Watch below:

Prior to this segment, Smith shared some classic Kobe Bryant stories that just showcase Mamba’s legacy throughout the years. You can tell he had a massive impact on the people he knew, and that impact will certainly last forever.

Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna were killed in a helicopter crash, along with seven other people on January 26th, 2020.

Will always remember how I felt when the news broke…

RIP Mamba and Mambacita.
