The full text of Jordan's speech at Kobe Bryant's memorial service?

"I am very grateful to the Kobe family for giving me the opportunity to speak today. I am grateful that I can remember Kobe and Gigi here. Kobe has many identities, such as player, businessman, storyteller and father. Whether in the basketball game or as a parent in life, Kobe has given everything. As a father, he took all the responsibilities on himself and moved forward step by step. What may surprise everyone is that Kobe and I are good friends. Kobe and I are really good friends. Kobe and I are very close, just like my brother. People always compare us. I just want to talk about Kobe himself. "

"You know, we all have brothers and sisters. Anyway, they will give you support, clothes, shoes and everything. This emotional bond can't be described in words, but what keeps this bond is love, which is their love for you as big brother and big sister. But the problem is that he wants to know every detail of my life. He always asks me or sends me short messages. From 1 1: 30 to 2: 30 in the morning, he asks me questions about fake movements and training, and sometimes he asks me questions about triangle offense. At first, it was a burden, but later it became a passion. This child has a passion you have never seen before. "

"That kind of passion is incredible. If you love something, you are passionate about something, you will become extreme, and then work hard to achieve your goal and know what you have to pay for it. Ice cream, coke, hamburgers, all these things you like, you need to fight for them yourself, maybe you have to pray for others to get them. Kobe inspired me. He is a person who really cares about what I eat and how I play, and then he wants to do the same. He wants to be the best athlete in the world, and I want to be the best brother. In order to do this, you need to carry a lot of things, such as those late-night phone calls. We always say that he wants to be the best player, he wants to be the best businessman, he wants to be the best parent, we talk about everything about him, and all he wants to do is become a better person. "

"Now, I have to find another person who cries like me. I told my wife that I wasn't going to do this because I didn't want to see this video in the next three or four years. This is what Kobe did to me. "

"I'm sure all his friends can say this for sure. He knows it affects you, but you can always feel his love for you. He always presents you with his best things. This is what he did to me. I still remember that a few months ago, he sent me a message saying,' I am trying to teach my daughter some movements, and then I don't know what she thinks or why she is doing these things. When you strive for progress and growth, what are you thinking? How do you adjust your mentality?' I said, "How old is my daughter?" He said I was 12 years old, and I said I was still trying to play baseball when I was 12 years old, and then he sent me a message mocking me mercilessly. It happened at two in the morning. "

"We can not only talk about basketball, but also often discuss things in life. We are really close friends, and we often have this conversation. I remember in 1999 or 2000, when phil jackson coached the Lakers, when I went to the Lakers' arena, I saw Kobe sitting there, and then Kobe saw my first sentence:' Did you bring your sneakers? I said no, I'm not here to play ball. But he has a competitive attitude. He wants to face those people who he thinks can make him progress. This is a quality I admire very much. His attitude towards me is to regard me as a challenge, and I appreciate his passion. What is rare is that he inspires himself to do better every day. He is not only engaged in sports, but also a parent and husband. What he did, what he shared with Vanessa, and what he shared with children all inspired me deeply. I have twin children, I have a daughter, and she has children, which makes me a grandfather. I can't wait to go home, be a good father to my daughter, hug them and enjoy the love and smile they bring me. Kobe taught me. We will continue to learn from Kobe. All of us should seize the moment, enjoy every day and take care of our loved ones. "
