(29:05)  Highlights from Kobe's Memorial: 

Including Shaq's Joke, and Michael Jordan's New Crying Meme

The public memorial for KOBE and GIANNA BRYANT was yesterday at the Staples Center in L.A.  There were more than 20,000 family members, friends, and fans in attendance.

The whole thing was filled with symbolism.  The date was 2/24 . . . Gianna wore number 2, and of course Kobe wore number 24 for the second half of his career.

Tickets were priced at three tiers:  $224 each, two for $224, and $24.02 each . . . based on seat location.  Proceeds from the tickets will be donated to the Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation.

There was a rose for every point Kobe scored in the NBA . . . that's 33,643 . . . placed around the center stage.

And attendees got a shirt featuring Kobe and Gianna, plus a program and a ticket.

Here are 10 highlights from the memorial:

  There were a ton of basketball legends there, including Michael Jordan, Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Phil Jackson, Magic Johnson, Jerry West, Tim Duncan, Shaquille O'Neal, Dwyane Wade, Tony Parker, Steve Nash . . .

Elgin Baylor, Paul Pierce, Gregg Popovich, Lisa Leslie, Candace Parker, Doc Rivers, Steph Curry, James Harden, DeMar DeRozan, Scottie Pippen, Draymond Green, Russell Westbrook, and NBA Commissioner Adam Silver.

 Kobe's widow Vanessa gave two powerful eulogies . . . of Gianna, she said, quote, "Gigi was sunshine.  She brightened up my day every day. She was our shepherd . . .

"She was daddy's girl, but I know she loves her mama.  And she would always tell me and show me how much she loved me.  She was one of my very best friends. She loved cake. She loved putting a smile on everyone's face."  (Video)

"I have no idea how I deserved a man that loved and wanted me more than Kobe."  She also said he once gave her the actual blue dress that Rachel McAdams wore in movie, "The Notebook".   (Video)  (The "Notebook" part is at 2:18.)

 Shaq told a joke.  He said he once told Kobe, quote, "There's no 'I' in team."  And Kobe replied, "Yeah, but there's an "M" and an "E" in that mother[effer]."  (Video)

 Michael Jordan started crying when he spoke, and that reminded people, including Michael himself, of the crying-Michael meme.  He said, quote, "Now, he's got me . . . I got to look at another crying-meme for the next . . .

"I told my wife I wasn't going to do this because I didn't want to see that for the next three or four years.  That is what Kobe does to me. He knows how to get to you in a way that affects you personally, even if he's being a pain in the [butt]."  (Video)

  Christina Aguilera gave an emotional performance of "Ave Maria".  (Video)  And Alicia Keys performed Beethoven's"Moonlight Sonata".  (Video)
