The amount of disrespect is crazy

[@carlosinda3553]

Nicholas Adams Whitlock is so idiotic

[@cjwrench07]

Uncle Whitlock strikes again. Can’t just appreciate that Kobe modelled his game on MJ’s, because of the VAST amount of respect he had for Jordan. It’s like LeBron isn’t a worse player, because his game is modelled on Magic’s, but with an insane amount of athleticism added.

[@alvillariza909]

A PRODUCT OF ENVY AND THEY BELONG TO THE "IDIOTS ANALYST CLUB"! SHAMELESS!

[@vr2k8]

It's people like Nick Wright and Whitlock only are salty because they could never play. Waterboys at best.

[@mananggrasya5963]

And when kobe died they all cried and praise Kobe whta a shame

[@ronlinrich]

Thank God for Chris Broussard

[@PoohKalonji_97]

Ronald RIchards right only analysts that be making the most sense , and isn't bias , and knows the history of the game

[@cjwrench07]

I can’t stand this show with fedora wearing, Uncle Whitlock, I’m only here for Broussard, he doesn’t trash blackmen for having an big ego, when they are great, or when they don’t pander to white america by playing “I’m the friendliest guy in the world” persona.

[@teasystableent]

this is the perfect example of over analyzing something that didnt need to be done

[@pjpomare3808]

Why do people complicate things that are very simple. Sometimes the picture is better in black and white. Everyone wants to have a different opinion because they think that sets them apart. Let's just sit back and appreciate the athletes that play for "our entertainment". More positivity and les negativity before we put ourselves into extinction

[@Lifewithkwame1]

Whitlock hates himself its sad he's nothing but negative

[@Wiseman08]

Invest InLife mos def see the hate!

[@EricJohnsonresign]

All of them are negative including Fatlock!!

[@cjwrench07]

You just know, that if Uncle Whitlock wasn’t on this show. He’d be the same basement dwelling, fedora wearing, incel; that hates everyone more successful that him, or people who are more Confident than they are.

What did he say that was wrong. Get out of your feelings. What did he say that was wrong?

[@LangFitness]

Dear Whitlock, They were doing this at halftime so he couldn’t do that. This wasn’t his HOF speech. The Lakers decided to retire both numbers, not him. Lifetime Laker

[@blandman4084]

Chris Lang Fr there is no doubt kobe will thank them in his hof speech

[@kd35beast24]

Thank you man! This Jason Whitlock (more like Trashlock) is so annoying and dumb

[@MCFoultier]

Do you guys have some issues always feeling the need to bring up James? Anyway, I think he gets honored enough. I always like to compare him with another all time great of his generation who pretty much accomplished the same or even slightly more.... You dont hear all that noise about Timmy D.

[@mohammedislam2591]

If #8 and # 24 were two seperate ppl they would both have their jersey retired. Kobe played 20 years with lakers ofc he deserved it im not even a laker fan.

[@chrisking3835]

Mohammed Islam well said

[@N8veJay]

20*** Years.... 20.... you right 👌👍

[@TeamRocketWes]

Facts and assalamu alaikum

[@Mike1122.]

Well, he had a 20 year career on paper but in reality, he played about 15 seasons due to injuries. I look at how many minutes you play not games. Kobe’s numbers are so impressive when you really look at the minutes played.

[@ike.o6944]

Kobe gets his jersey number retired and this is the type of conversation they’re having about him the following day? This is pitiful. Thank goodness for Chris Broussard!

[@YairSassonArt]

He may or may not get his own show because he only analyzes Basketball. He would have to open up and analyze all sports and not just basketball which I think he would be great at. Chris Broussard is the best NBA analyst.

He has a show now fools.

[@chocboiwonda6810]

[@kd35beast24]

He's the freiking Skip Bayless of this show

[@alexfiume7545]

Wow, talk about bashing one of the greatest players to ever grace the courts of the NBA. I'm not even a Lakers fan, hate them matter of fact, but even I have to admit that Kobe was great. Just because he has never reflected your idea of what a player and a man should be, it doesn't mean that he's trash. Chris Broussard was the only one who didn't unload on Kobe. Props to him, he should have his own big show, instead of just a podcast.

[@ike.o6944]

Alex Fiume I completely agree with you! I’m a Sixers and LeBron fan, but their so disrespectful.

[@jhacebuckley5204]

He didn't say he was trash he's trying to say he could be a better person on and off the court

[@xEpicN00BSx]

Give Chris Broussard his own show! Lets start a hashtag on that!!

[@N8veJay]

I can relate to Chris Broussard, don't know why they disrespecting Kobe so much, I mean... I can argue that Kobe played in the toughest era between him, Mj and Lebron, even in my list I will eventually have Lebron over Kobe, I still respect Kobe's hard work and basketball IQ and success he was able to do as a Laker, and I grew up with my Phoenix Suns with my favorite player being Steve Nash.

[@kd35beast24]

And Whitlock should be fired. This prolly won't happen, but if I somehow magically get ownership of FS1, Jason Whitlock is getting fired on the spot like idgaf and then Nick Wright and maybe Cowherd and then Skyp Bayless

[@thunders2020]

Kobe is just anti-social, a lot of people are, we get tired and drained. While Lebron is social and feeds off of social events. Nothing wrong with both, people just have different personalities.

[@cooperscreditconsultingint6792]

So true! We need both types of people.

[@gloedup150]

I can't figure out if their judging him as a player or if they would date him or not

[@_itsJV]

NeoLegendX Bashing on him is good for views. Chris wasn't talking mess tho, it was mostly Whitlock.

[@frankstudent]

YOU are here to celebrate Kobe!

[@NeoLegendX]

then for punishment i hope they talk about lavar all day every day

[@mercenaryak4754]

He won 3 rings with LA in #8, he scored nearly 17,000 points, and had arguably the single greatest scoring 81 points vs the raptors, then in #24 he scored another nearly 17,000 points, won an mvp, 2 championships, 2 final mvps, and a last game of 60 points. So, how did he not deserve both to be retired, as those are both two hall of fame jerseys.

[@hublotrap7644]

I never seen so much Hate on Kobe

[@Dennzer1]

Learn what hate means.

[@461rodney]

Yeah that's hate my friend!!!

[@ajkoab]

[@hublotrap7644]

Stop your crying. Kobe is not top 10.

[@ShaqTown]

Kobe has had the greatest retirement sendoff of all time lol

[@jrsx5826]

2 JERSEYS...WHO DOES THAT? LEGENDS

[@PeterJustGames]

Dude, so many people forget very quickly. Before LeBron was great, Kobe was the face of the NBA. Virtually every player and coach were admitting that he was the best in the league, even LeBron himself.

[@MCFoultier]

absolutely hehe. his franchise gave him a whole year dedicated to losing as an retirement campagne. And btw, I think virtually every coach and GM would have taken Tim Duncan over Kobe to start a franchise.

[@noneofyourbusiness747]

You obviously didn't see Kareem's last season.

[@doctorkeith2]

Lmao

[@LangFitness]

Both jerseys. He’s iconic mane.

[@_itsJV]

We're celebrating Kobe and they deadass bring up Colorado. Lmao it didn't even come to mind for me. And imo he completely deserved for the 2 jerseys to be retired. He did soo much in each it'd be disrespectful to not do it. And imo he's a top 3 most iconic Laker and a big time icon for the NBA in all its history like AI Jordan Duncan Malone Hakeem West etc. Def up there.

[@11simonjr]

[@ASP2778]

[@MurKJrps3]

Only one person bashed him tho...

[@Dennzer1]

Kobe is the most overrated superstar in NBA history. Never shot more than 47% from the field. Terrible VORP and WS compared to the real top 10 players.

[@nymade4130]

Dennzer1 and how many players do shoot more than 47%. Before the nerd analyst era 45% or higher was good 44 or less was bad that’s it. Now y’all have all these nerd stats that no one cares about

[@Dennzer1]

Shooting % is now a nerd stat? Fascinating. Couldn't be that players are just getting better at playing the game of Basketball. No, not possible. How hard are you for Kobe?

[@jaynijackson]

This question is so disrespectful. Why is this even a debate.

[@jamal1493]

Chris Broussard is the goat of basketball analytics

[@davyjoneslocker4859]

Shawn Kemp no he doesn't

[@joshido7352]

Hes really not, but sitting next to a bunch of hacks and rejects at FS1 makes him look like a guru.

[@drkdze]

Jonathan Martinez thank you if funny how everyone loves this guy! SMH He's fickle and changes like the wind with everything he says. Plus he has no backbone, he comes off as spineless sometimes when he forces to speak the truth about something when it's negative regarding a player.

[@rohanmathew6951]

drkdze he's not fickle. And some argue that's how it should be. You can criticise a player and his game and not be disrespectful while you do it. Broussard' criticism of athletes is always focused on what they do on the floor and not what they do off it. He doesn't get it into petty gossip. The reason people like him is because he weighs facts and against facts and says hey you can guys can have your opinion now but I think these are the facts. He's also not overly analytical and compared to some of colleagues that's quite refreshing.

[@LastKILLER102]

Jonathan Martinez first of all you dumb cause he didn’t say it personally he said one of Jordan’s good friends said he was the most selfish person

[@JayTheRealest1]

*Lmao Whitlock is purposely trying to be the "Bad Cop" on this show. He took a page out of Skip Bayless' book.*

[@peezy3527]

Very true. Broussard, the voice of reason, and Whitlock using the "hater" persona. All for tv

[@ViennaSausageGod]

Reason why I don't watch this trash show. Only got here through autoplay heard some BS he had to say and had to comment lol

[@SHAKE-S-PIERRE]

He could never be as entertaining as skip

[@GodOfDestructionVegeta27]

Nah.. He's always hated Kobe with a passion. Watch the rant he did after Kobe's last game.

[@theronrucker8531]

Every story you ever loved has the same dynamic

[@morpheusrising9534]

Whitlock right on queue hating. Sounds like Whitlock wasn't a great team lead either which is why he lost the magazine he was supposed to run.

[@akaspon1]

Morpheus Rising Its cue bro... no hate...but you are right on point about Jason. I am 100% sure his last name is Vorhees and he dropped the mask after gaining 200 pounds...

Kobe didn't choose to put up both jersey!! The lakers association did!!

[@bprimus]

Never seen such disrespect to the 2nd best player in NBA history.... Yet they admire LeBron with his constant quitting... Drama... And six finals loses!!!!!!

[@FoodStampzzzz]

Wow, this entire Segment was Terrible.. So Disrespectful..

[@jamesgibson3716]

They had Whitlock on here. You clearly wasn't expecting something different, right?

[@Dennzer1]

Kobe is not a top 10 player.

[@lilripstaSSF4]

Dennzer1 anyone who is a fan of basketball knows kobe is a top 10 player easily, but then again you must’ve been born after 2000

[@Dennzer1]

No. "Anyone" does not know that, because many people would not Consider Kobe a top 10 player. And no, I was not born after the year 2000. Way, way before that. Wilt, MJ, LeBron, Kareem, Bird, Magic, Shaw, David Robinson, Hakeem, Julius Erving, Duncan, Kevin Garnett, All better than Kobe

[@lilripstaSSF4]

Dennzer1 Wilt Kareem MJ I’ll give you that, but magic or bird were not better players than kobe on any day of the week, magic never had the complete game of kobe and bird was never the defender kobe was, slightly better shooter but still didn’t have the complete game of kobe Bryant

[@kuekuatsheumotley7902]

I am not sure why Kobe has to live up to a “humble black man”. He was amazing. He was a basketball killer. He is a multicultural, multilingual basketball genius. So, he has to come from the ‘hood, be humble, and be open to be a legend?!? That is ludicrous. The Mamba doesn’t care who it kills...it just kills.

[@giantl9196]

if you took the numbers kobe put in each jersey by them selves those players would be considered hall of fame players so obviously

[@raysingh448]

[@darriusdandridge9627]

Whitlock and Colin both try and find the negatives in Kobe's life when we should be celebrating the man's accomplishments. Way to go guys smh

[@alfenner3309]

They are doing it because Kobe NEVER gave those two idiots the time of day. Mike greenberg and SAS were in the same boat. They hated Kobe. Quite pathetic.

[@antonyburns180]

This fool said if he was more like Lebron he would have more rings?? WTF Lebron doesn’t even have more rings terrible analogy.

[@trumpetguy3039]

Antony Burns seriously! If that were the case, how does Kobe have 2 more rings than Lebron?

[@kbdemonbain4568]

its kinda funny seeing whitlock taking such offense to kobe getting two jerseys retired. is he the first player that is so great to get 2 jerseys retired? no of course not, but is he the first player really on 1 team played for 20 years and right in the middle swapped numbers? and honestly had a hall of fame career in both numbers? well yes, jordan had 45 that year he came back from baseball for like the last 20 games or so but then went right back to 23 not sure why people are taking it at such an insult, kobe's career was a unique situation and personally i don't think he decided on doing both. in the press conference before hand he said if he had to pick he would pick 24. i think the organization wants to retire both numbers. i would of liked it to be 1 jersey but retire both numbers but it's not THAT big a deal its not kobe sticking his nose up at all the other greats up there trying to be better but i guess shouldn't be shocked whitlock said what he said he's always been bias to hating kobe which is his right

[@obhgooniegang3012]

And the crazy thing is , kobe didn't decide to have 2 jerseys hung up. The Lakers did that. And Shaq openly admitted on outside the NBA that jerry buss traded him and kobe didn't force their hand. They didn't wanna pay that man 30 mill a year when they had a rising star in kobe

[@SoloMojo222]

Knock-off brand? Every other all-time great got their game from someone before them. LeBron James is Magic Johnson except with a bigger and much more athletic body. People love to hate Kobe just like people love to hate LeBron.

[@kbdemonbain4568]

i get the magic comparison but honestly i feel lebron was more like oscar robertson and scottie but a waaaay better passer

[@ASP2778]

LeBron scores way better he’s the greatest all around player

[@xbefri23]

He's like a prime Grant Hill, with the body of Karl Malone.

[@skywalker2676]

[@PeterJustGames]

Everyone likes to forget that MJ stole moves from Dr. J!

[@grantgrafgames5894]

Like Jeanie buss said, you can split #8 Kobe and #24 Kobe into separate careers and they would both deserve to get their number retired in the rafters. Enough said

[@CookiiBoii]

Whitlock calls him narcissistic but doesn’t mention how LeBron has grown into the same mold of people need me, I’m the best, I do as I please & respect me. But he’ll never mention that.

[@TarvarisJenkins24]

Kameezus Christ it’s that media narrative lol Whitlock is an idiot

[@DrKnow1tAll]

Kameezus Christ The only narcissistic behavior comes from his waist line.

[@SP-rh4et]

Lol Whitlock never said that lebron was a saint. He just said that he develops relationships with his teammates unlike Kobe, which is pretty obvious. Nothing wrong with the way that Kobe did it either, it got the job done. Just don’t make Whitlock out to be a lebron fan cuz he’s not (he’s constantly giving the man an approval percentage for crying out loud). Just look up some of his takes on lbj lol

[@kingsauels23]

This is literally why Its hard to listen to analyst about anything sports related

[@Dennzer1]

You are literally stupid.

[@ajkoab]

Once again, no one asked you. But keep hating if it makes you feel better

[@Dennzer1]

This isn't thanksgiving dinner. No one has to ask anyone anything on KZbin.

[@chiefzeek1668]

They discredit his legacy because they dont like his personality

[@AGSung]

It worked to retire both numbers because he played 10 years in each, which is longer than an average nba player's career. And the championships and milestones he achieved with each is enough to get any player into the HoF

[@fortunedigest8300]

Kobe and O.J. in thesame breathe??? This man is evil.

[@brandone.5106]

Yes he deserved it. Stop dissing Kobe, and I think LeBron is better. I still don't like the disrespect.

[@GunsNGames248]

kobe is more skilled than lebron

[@NathanKJohnson]

Kobe is by far the only player to be so celebrated and yet so hated at the same time.

[@c_will_b5895]

Kobe is not a knock off his fade away , his foot work that’s his own. His mentality is his own his training regimen is his own he ain’t a knock off

[@IStayChillin]

Kobes a Knockoff? lol He literally modeled his entire game on the best player of all time. Who wouldn't do that? lol. Everyone emulates their game on someone, so you guys can just shut up. Kobe a top 5 player of all time.

[@infoguy1978]

king ck- his personality was like jordan too. it was goofy

[@cqb3152]

How is it disrespectful to have both jerseys retired? I'm pretty sure if other greats wore 2 numbers of the course of their careers, they would have em both as well. It would be disrespectful not to retire both his jerseys because of what he accomplished wearing both those numbers. He won 3 rings with #8 and had one of the greatest scoring seasons ever which included the 81-point performance. He won 2 rings with #24, won MVP, and set other scoring records such as the one in New York. Jeanie Buss said it perfectly, if #8 and #24 were two separate Kobe's, both would be in the hall of fame. No doubt.

[@trumpetguy3039]

Chester Quizon completely agreed! Especially since he spent exactly half of his career in each number and had similar stats in both of them.

[@jon3168]

the fact that jason whitlock even made it to this industry is boggling

[@nickolasarndt]

The disrespect in this video...and ignorance. My goodness.

Why shouldn’t Kobe have 2 jerseys retired? Whitlock: “Everyone has help” Gonzalez: “Colorado” This is a disgrace. He won three rings and put up the greatest scoring performances we’ve ever seen since Wilt as number 8. He Won 2 championships and his MVP with 24. He’s accomplished more with each number than most of the players in the NBA rafters have in their entire careers.

Mr Blue Pun: someone unlock his wit and lock his fridge

When your jealous of someone who is great, they got to put them down, so they feel like there important, but all they are is a disappointment, Kobe is great that's all there is to it

[@hapman]

I forgot about Colorado for about 10+ years till they brought it up 🤦‍♂️

When LeBron gets his no. 6 retired by Miami and his 23 retired by Cleveland ain't not one gonna bat an eye. Kobe played with one team for TWENTY YEARS. He didn't ask to get both retired, it was the organization that decided it for him because of his commitment and dedication. Jeanie Buss practically choked up when she was giving her speech when she mentioned that he stuck around. Also, no one else has ever worn two jersey numbers for the same team for such long periods. In Kobe's case he spent half his career with one number and half his career with the other and had incredible success with both phases. These have been some of the worst takes I've seen. The man is retired, and yet they are coming at him with hate. It's Kobe's day and all I hear is LeBron is better, Kobe wasn't the best of his era. Just give the man props, admire his accolades and be happy you were able to see one of the all-timers lace them up for your viewing pleasure.

[@YnRJRod]

[@davidherrera2720]

[@RandomPerson-uq8oe]

Its disgraceful how they treat this dude

[@THEMANCURTIS]

Left the game earlier because he had young kids. The Lakers choose to retire both jerseys.

[@ladaluz6647]

Curtis Barlow he left after the 4th. The game went into OT. I was there. He has a 6 month or less year old daughter.

[@briangriggs]

Whitlock has the same old tired dialog.

[@pancheeetee]

I don't understand what's the problem with emulating his idol...he is amazing he deserve everything he got.

Kobe: Being Kobe Whitlock: Be Who I Want You To Be
