Michael Jordan says Kobe has turned him into another crying meme

During his emotional speech at Kobe Bryant and Gianna’s memorial, Michael Jordan found a way to mix laughter with tears. After speaking about how much Kobe meant to him, Jordan paused as the crowd wiped their eyes. Then, with perfect timing, he joked: “Now he’s got me… I’ll have to look at another crying meme for the next three or four years.”

The line brought laughter to an otherwise heartbreaking ceremony. It was classic Jordan—honest, heartfelt, and self-aware. Even in grief, he reminded everyone that Kobe would’ve wanted smiles as much as tears.
