The Michael Jackson memorial service was held at the Staples Center in California, USA on July 7, 2009.  Incidentally, it’s the home of the 2009 NBA Champions Los Angeles Lakers so it was not odd to see sports stars Kobe Bryant and Magic Johnson among the  group of entertainers that attended the event.

Kobe Bryant and Magic Johnson went onstage together to give their eulogy speech.

Kobe’s speech was brief focusing more on Michael Jackson’s humanitarian side. He told the crowd that Michael made the Guinness Book of World Record for “Most Charities Supported by a Pop Star”.

Meanwhile, Magic shared how Michael invited him in his place so they can talk about the video Michael is planning for the song, “I Remember the Time” where Magic appeared. When the chef asked what he wants to eat for dinner, Magic said grilled chicken. When their food was served, a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) was given to Michael. Magic said,

“It made my day. That was the greatest moment of my life.”

Here’s the video of Kobe Bryant and Magic Johnson’s eulogy speeches:
