Washington D.C., Jan. 28 -- : Like the rest of the world, American comedian Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday took a moment to recall a fond memory he had shared with late basketball player Kobe Bryant.
The 45-year-old comedian shared a video on Twitter from his show "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon," where he recalled a funny memory of him meeting the late star years ago.
Fallon posted the tribute video on Twitter with the caption, "I will remember you 24/8."
"I met him in the summer of 1996 at a party in Los Angeles when I was just 21 years old and Bryant was 17," he started.
His voice trembling, he further said: "Kobe was such a life force ... So strong and creative and inspired that in my head I thought that he was going to live forever."...
