Jimmy Kimmel devoted his hourlong show to Kobe Bryant, fighting back tears as he commemorated the basketball legend.
Kimmel, who films his show in Los Angeles, where Bryant played for the Lakers, said the five-time NBA champion had been on his show 15 times and had a special relationship to the city.
Jimmy Fallon also paid tribute to Bryant on Monday's episode of"The Tonight Show," telling a story about the two's first meeting when Bryant was only 17 years old and Fallon was 21. Like Kimmel, Fallon struggled not to cry during his tribute, calling Bryant"one of the most brilliant and respected players in NBA history."
