60 Minutes of Kobe Bryant Stories told by NBA Legends

[@ikiwheese]

R.I.P. Kobe we miss you brother. Definitely one of the greatest ever!

[@RyeAkai]

I respect your honesty. I remember back in the early 00s there was a ton of people (mostly MJ fans) that actually hated Kobe because he "copied MJ" (which is kinda ironic, because if you're a fan of MJ's game, I think seeing someone copying should be awesome, but maybe that's just me). This is even before the Colorado stuff which obviously brought even more haters (including the media). Nowadays, I'd say "most" MJ fans are big Kobe fans, which I think is just the natural order because of what I said before. I really can't understand someone saying he's a fan of MJ but not of Kobe, considering their games and even approach were obviously very similar. Unless of course you're more of a fan of the person or their brand rather than their game. I was born in 1990, and like pretty much any kid my age, MJ was the guy who opened the basketball door for me. He made me love the game, but because I was too young, I really only enjoyed the last 2 MJ rings, and then the guy who I first followed from start to finish was Kobe. He became MY GOAT. But above all, I love both MJ and Kobe, I love their style, and whenever I see even glimpses of that in other players, I celebrate it. About Kobe as a passer, at times, maybe... but I do think he's not as selfish as people think he is. The years when Kobe really shot a ton where those horrible years for L.A. And sure, it may not be the popular thing to say, but I'd rather have Kobe shooting a ton than having Smush or Kwame taking charge of the offense. When the Lakers got Payton and Malone, Kobe's shot attempts took quite a dip, and when Pau came to L.A. they also went down. He's just the kind of guy who will evaluate if it's worth passing you the ball or not over analyzing if it's the correct play on paper. He was wrong at times of course, but he was actually a fairly willing passer when he really had guys to pass to. He was also much less ball dominant than many of the more recent NBA stars (even if they rack up more assists). Still sad about his passing, he was also a great guy to listen to. I was really excited to see his post-career, which was amazing for the few years it lasted... but man, it should've lasted for many decades.

Lebron has better career FG percentage. Better career 3 point percentage. Lebron career averages, points, assists, rebounds, steals and blocks PER GAME are better. Lebron for 8 consecutive seasons averaged more points, assists, rebounds, steals and blocks all 5 categories than his second best playerS, Miami and Cleveland. Lebron for 8 consecutive seasons averaged more 4 out of 5 categories than his third best playerS, Miami and Cleveland. Lebron in one of his rings in the finals series had more points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks all 5 categories than any player in his entire team and the entire GSW team, first and only player to do that. Why people say Lebron doesn't have the killer instinct? Shaq was a huge part of Kobe's rings and when I say a huge part I mean, Shaq was the best player in one of Kobe's rings and not only in the Lakers team, but Shaq was the best player in the entire NBA.

[@PandaMaxRaido]

Thank you for the tribute....I always know Jordan is the goat I witnessed it but I believed as well Kobe was the closest....Jordan is number 1 while Kobe is 1b, he was my favorite the....the ambitious student. He will be missed I know for sure I still miss him....he was my hero.

[@dervish816]

Man, i just love what Bosh said... "Legends are not defined by their successes, they are defined by how they bounce back from their failures..." Meanwhile, some fans are just looking at the stats and says... 'this guy is the GOAT!'

[@滋榎本]

That 1996 NBA Draft is considered to be one of the greatest of all-time with four Hall of Famers in Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, Ray Allen and Steve Nash. There were also multiple All-Stars with the likes of Peja Stojakovic, Jermaine O’Neal, Stephon Marbury and Antoine Walker along with some excellent role players such as former Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Camby and five-time NBA Champion Derek Fisher. Bryant rose to the top of the group because of his much-talked-about work ethic, which helped him win five championships, make the All-NBA first team 11 times and have both of his jersey numbers (8 and 24) retired by the Lakers.

[@CheapSkateGrower]

Best Kobe video I’ve seen in awhile. Respect.

[@misfit1nx865]

In my humble opinion.... Kobe was insanely gifted and worked hard af to develop and master those gifts... but he truly ascended when he gained the MJ bloodlust for winning, that's what MJ instilled in him, because he was already dead nice... but he didn't have that Mamba in him until MJ took him under the wing

[@davidestick9936]

By Kobe’s own admission, he had zero basketball skills. In his first basketball camp he scored zero points the entire summer. But he had a work ethic instilled in him by his parents, to use that experience to get better. Mike gave him inspiration, but he came into the league with that mentality

[@tobingallawa3322]

Wow, great video, Sean's Magnum Opus. Thank you for taking the time, and it is a LOT of time

[@Markus-gf7su]

What a great idea for a video, can't wait to watch it!!!

[@im_organic_mojo]

kobe honed his craft and kept it sharp. He had a hunger that you cant feed. He wanted it man. He simply wanted it more

[@kuroro87s]

Kobe is exactly what we want from athletes, you are gonna do this for 13-20 years, pour all you have into it, and he did. Big Respect.

[@akaSHOOT2MUCH]

I was just thinking that too. Kobe is the literal definition of "Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard" except with kobe,there was no working harder than him.

[@toddferguson6369]

Thanks Shawn. Just found the interview. It's nice to hear him speak again. He could make anyone smile. Lost my Mom at 52. Was a Knicks fan. Thanks for keeping these memories alive. They help me remember her

[@kerry-j4m]

I like the story by Iverson about Kenyon Martin ( who I thought was a bully and highly over-rated ) he wasn't as good as he thought he was. LOL. Kobe shout his big mouth up with those 49 points,so-SWEET. I've never liked Martin,ever.

[@misfit1nx865]

Kobe legit HUMBLED a load of potential "THE NEXT BIG THING" ballers... This is what makes him that much greater to me... he came from the bottom for real and through sheer drive made himself great... no hype train, no media push, no Stat boosts.. just straight WORK

[@orbilnelsonalvarez8855]

Great analysis... I appreciated your honest perspective. Thanks

[@RonHarrisMe]

I am very lucky. I lived watching Jerry West, Kareem, MJ, Bird, Magic LeBron and Kobe and so many others. So many game changing players. IF Kobe had the defensive numbers that MJ had, no question it would have been a really close call for the best ever.

[@Ryan-mx3rx]

How Vince Cater is giving credit (rightfully so) for infusing basketball into the youth of canada, Micheal Jordan should be given credit for the class of 96. Had to edit this, love Kobe. Top 3 all-time with Jordan and Bird.

"You cant have a basketball conversation without mentioning Kobe Bryant." - Allen Iverson Thats a fact, bro!

He carved out his place in history.

[@JoshuaTraffanstedt]

This is how you get a feel of how great a player truly is. By listening to their peers talking about them. They pick up on things we dont always see because of camera angles. Like Stockton's strength and ability to set screens like he was a power forward. You dont necessarily see that, but if youre on the court, you definitely experience it 😂

[@STEYFOKISED365]

After his 1st 🏆,Kobe worked hard not to lose again!After MJ's 1st 🏆,he Worked hard to make sure NO one else won again! Big difference!

Also Lebron or MJ or Magic or Kareem never won any of their championships where their teammate won regular season MVP and scoring title champ and finals MVP, Shaq did that for Kobe.

@@Alohadude00 It's more than stats and Kobe had way harder competition..And LBJ has played longer than Kobe too. If they came in the league the same time Kobe would have better stats more rings as well. Kobe is about winning LBJ is about padding stats big difference.

@ Lebron never was carried like Kobe was. Remember, Shaq first in points, second in rebounds and third in blocks not only in the Lakers team but the entire NBA, won regular season MVP AND scoring title champ AND finals MVP.

When you make it more than your teammate you don't have to FORCE not passing. That's just the smart natural choices. He wouldn't of scored 81 if he was consirnded about passing it to the point guard just for the pg to pass it to the scoring guard (him). That's a waste a time, 80 not 81

[@kaksmirknight5318]
