A heartwarming video from 2018 of Kobe Bryant celebrating the Philadelphia Eagles' first Super Bowl victory has resurfaced, coinciding with the fifth anniversary of his tragic helicopter crash. The video, filmed by Bryant's wife Vanessa, shows him joyfully pacing and cheering as the Eagles win against the New England Patriots. Sports columnist Mike Sielski noted the significance of the clip, emphasizing how it captures Bryant's relatable side as a passionate football fan rather than just his legendary status as an NBA superstar, highlighting his deep ties to Philadelphia.
Oh my god, yes, bro, we won the ... Super Bowl. That's it. That's it. That's it. We won the ... Super Bowl.
The Super Bowl video harkens to a happy time, when Bryant wasn't pulling off an amazing athletic feat of his own but was a relatable everyday football fan.
The brief video captures the essence of Bryant, who made the jump directly from Lower Merion High School in the Philadelphia suburbs to the NBA.
People here knew him when he was Kobe Bryant, high school basketball star, excellent student, kid who we got along with in the hallways.
