Kobe sharing some wisdom and talking about his new documentary.. the comparison with Russell Westbrook.. his relationship with Shaq and Phil..the Evolution of the Game.. and retirement

[@jasonrobbins837]

Kobe is so peaceful. I think he realized that life is about self-actualization and enlightenment.

[@DrSJH159]

Rip kobe

[@danielabatabogdanov8586]

is it not about raising up other people also ? Also "self-actualization" is a bit of weird word since you need others to do that.

[@avatomlinson9124]

Q¹

[@jephteclersaint4204]

Seeing him enjoying the trophy with his father put a smile on my face.

[@MitchMarley1]

This was his greatest interview of all time to me RIP

[@jeffmiller3499]

There's a couple better. One is Patrick bet David

[@johnnyblingg]

i really like his Knuckleheads interview the best

[@youtubest5165]

Who’s watching this in 2023? 💜💛

[@cheapblues]

"I'm not gonna retire next year" "announces retirement at the start of next year"

[@Nano2690]

Kobe is a very well spoken individual. A lot of players today merely give politically correct answers such as "we gotta continue to get better...tonight wasn't about me, it was about my teammates, it was a group effort..." However, with Kobe you can sense that he's doing the questions justice and really giving his true insights and not merely regurgitating what he was told in handling the media. Moreover, his knowledge of other topics such as Beethoven's Ninth Symphony and him being deaf yet overcoming this setback is impressive. Kobe's IQ (not just basketball IQ), is such that if I didn't know any better, I would have thought he had graduated from college with honors. Other greats to share this unusually high intelligence include Magic, Jordan and Dr. J -- the latter whom I really developed a greater affection for after following his documentary which explored his upbringing and also losing his son.

[@user-ys3fy2lu5i]

Nano2690 yes I agree with you

[@jonathanmorales8858]

Agreed! The true development of a man!

[@akowrath50]

There is something you will never get from Queen James.

[@lupintheivth2071]

ROTC: A right on time conscience

[@Fj3]

Great comment. Magic has a mega personality and Dr. J has this educated way about him, but Magic doesn't offer the deepest of insights (#MagicJohnsonTweets) and Dr. J kinda never translated his charisma as a commentator (for some reason, as pointed out in the book of basketball). As for MJ, I just disagree, I won't put him in the same group. Intellectually, Kobe trumps them all.

[@andrewhebert8232]

1:44 I miss Kobe, I lived in San Antonio Texas where you could not be a Kobe Bryant fan it wasn't safe for you to be one damn I miss Kobe

[@Agureghian]

this was a great show... too bad espn killed it.

[@GugaGDFABC]

Yeah, I loved watching them making predictions for the upcoming season. Sucks that they not only cancelled it, but also deleted every video on their channel.

[@Underpantsniper]

Yeah, A nice, calm and in depth conversation about the game and the future of it..

[@warwick802]

Guga yep it sucks man these were fun times

[@warwick802]

Underpantsniper Yes not some STEVEN A. SMITH TRYING to cuss someone out in an argument...

[@curiouslymavismade]

RIP Kobe Bryant.

[@aaronmcgrew18]

Greatest Laker Ever !! RIP 💔

[@erichvonmanstein6876]

Magic. Hands down

[@sawyergardetto8322]

Rest In Peace Kobe Bryant

[@jeanlobrot]

Probably the most eloquent NBA player ever behind kareem

[@hippyllamas3368]

What a great peace. I love Bill and grew up with Kobe showing me everything I love about basketball. Miss you every day bean. Probably gonna miss Gigi even more, I feel like she would have introduced a whole knew fan base to the WNBA

[@AM-mk4kc]

Rip Kobe the 🐐

[@mauricedavis1740]

i miss you Kobe Rest In Peace..🙏🏾

[@PaulFeldner]

Kobe dropping knowledge

[@KENJI1799]

20:53 kobes talk on half court shots is such a good life mantra

[@producedbyfieri]

man jalen rose's outfit is really all over the place

[@efisgpr]

ProducedByFieri Not really; dude bought it all in a single Goodwill. 👀💀💀💀

[@atlassounds7899]

RIP Mamba 🙌🏽

[@jasonrobbins837]

It really bothers me that Bill Simmons never moves in his chair. He never un-crosses his legs.

[@breezy46]

thanks for the upload

[@quesplosive]

Appreciate the upload.

[@MasamuneIceDragon]

I agree with Kobe OKC messed up when they got rid of Harden.

[@jazzsoul60]

Now they got Victor Oladipo!

[@GugaGDFABC]

+jazzsoul60 Now they don't have Durant, lol

[@Tehnicker]

They thought Ibaka would have had a higher upside than harden so they payed him instead lol

[@tubenachos]

RW, Durant and Harden could've won multiple rings together but....ego man. Just like Kobe.

[@jazzsoul60]

Not necessarily. That super team concept doesn't always work out. Chemistry is most important.

[@Serg87ish]

Greatest n realest player in the game

[@dandrelewis2938]

Love Kobe's Game Tru Savage, Lov the Show, Jalen & jacoby Dope as well.

[@BeeBopGaming]

Kobe was soooo right when he said if there was one thing he would of love to have back in the day was illegal defense. If Kobe played under those rules like Jordan, I believe he would of easily been the best player of all time. These zone d's take away stars and promote to much damn shooting.

[@zpacify]

Nah. He's too inefficient and chucks a lot. Not as athletic and as smart as MJ.

[@billy30001000]

Great interview thanks for uploading this Kobe hall of famer great career 5 CHIPs!!!!! As jalen put it lol

[@JacaboBlanco]

looking back Shaq and Kobe compared with Russ and KD is alot more alike than originally thought. now that we know they didn't really like each other, and had the same type of issues, although to a lesser degree.

[@samiransar387]

Great interview. Someone needs to let Jalen know to unbutton the blazer when you sit down lol

[@omieg89]

I feel like out of all the great players, Kobe would make the best coach. He had to evolve and change his game and come off the bench and deal with injury and media scrutiny. Just his simple explanation of not changing Russell but letting him be himself was nice.

[@donsolos]

omieg89 whatchu mean. who you think coached that team after phil?

[@zzz.tyrone]

Hes talking bat as a rookie off the bench

[@Spiqaro]

Kobe said that he didn't want to coach. RIP

[@EnTiempo824]

He coached his girls team to a comeback that completely dominated the other team

[@74205gb]

GOAT #MambaMentality

[@black_kage60s39]

Smh rip mamba

[@kobe824legend3]

Kobe in Chicago would have been interesting... he would have gotten to play in the weak eastern conference.

[@SpyCSauce]

kobe definitly a smart man

[@WalkerB412]

This was pretty cool

[@ericlegend95]

Hahah, he retired the season after and had a farewell tour.

[@A_Brion]

Everyone else seems to have missed this lol

[@jermaineboadu6401]

Eric Legend he loved to surprise us

[@Prince36300]

Eric Legend that last game made it all worth it tho

[@alexlawrence6440]

Wow. This ripped version has 250k views. An iconic convo

[@keithpaige7021]

Because it kobe...players and fans love kobe but the media hate him but they try to switch it cuz he died

[@DannyFrio]

I fuck with Jacoby, really I do. I just think Bill brought more to the table as far as his charisma and overall knowledge and experience. Jacoby just kinda feeds off Jalen and defers to him too much. I can't see this discussion being as interesting with Jacoby in Bill's place

[@efisgpr]

- Aaron Taylor, 2017 I was behind a chick in the line at the grocery store who said on her phone "I fucks wit Jesus." and another girl goes "You're goin' to hell,"👀😂

[@acef786]

GOAT!!

[@johnnybeatmaker330]

The G.O.A.T

[@davidmckee586]

RIP Kobe 😔

[@yunggpacino]

Kobe didn't want the farewell tour but it just turned out to be.

[@joebianco93]

Rip grantland. This was a great show that offered a different lens for nba talk. Bill and jr brought out the real Kobe. Not bullshit nike commercial Kobe

[@hectorc3717]

A shot that ive taken thousands and thousands of times

[@dandrelewis2938]

He's always had A High IQ. Mutiple Language's Smart kid Except in Colorado that time but the GOAT None the less.

[@yuubokumin415]

I really want Kobe to play one season in Italy!!!

[@efisgpr]

yuubokumin415 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$€€€€€€€€€€

[@nakaine7]

larry and magic got hella cake god damn

[@bensonmowrey2367]

I’ll always find it hilarious that Kobe is getting interviewed by a lifetime Celtics fan and Jalen Rose, who he gave 81 😂

[@telmolicious]

When does he talk about muse?

[@PoeCompany]

well he's getting a farewell tour

[@jeremytucker8853]

I bet when they refer to Kobe as a top 10 player all time....a part of him dies. He always wanted to be the greatest player of all time.

[@Hamzethegoat]

I think Kobe is the greatest highlight reel of all time

[@jeremytucker8853]

Nowhere close. Look at Carter, Wilkins,...just go to "Michael Jordan Fury" and Kobe will become a distant memory for you.

[@andrecarter3578]

He is in a lot of people's minds

[@SammyTheSituation]

I wouldn't usually sit thru Kobe interviews, but... it is a basketball year or 2 of sorts. I'll feed the hype machine a lil'. Post and what-not.. Troll if I have to...

[@brian27610]

dam poor jalen haha has to interview the guy that dropped 81 on him

[@EverythinTechnology]

I miss these days. The three should still do vids on the low or Bill should bring Jalen and Jacoby to HBO. Bring back clairvoyant Bill!

[@mauricedavis1740]

that channel was great, with some of my favorite interviews of all time....

[@woodplus8]

38:45 old style is good

[@tonymcneil2353]

..still #KB24EVER

[@project10bball]

what was with his arm here? i thot it was only his achilles that got injured

[@johnnycee9325]

Sniper on the floor when he was running down the court in Boston 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@yunggpacino]

11:23 I keep telling people that Westbrook isn't a true point guard he's really a shooting guard because his motivation is to score the same with Allen Iverson.

[@dukeskylar]

Didnt watch the whole vid. But did he mention kawhi leonard?

[@efisgpr]

Julian Sol Not Kawhi but the Spurs at 36:20

[@hardcoreworkmonkey]

19:45 - Kobe says he wouldn't do a farewell tour and that he would feel weird doing it. One year later, he's so bad that he wants a farewell tour.

[@Xkingluis23]

he needed it, the organization tarnished his potential of being an all time great, although he is. They lacked in ownership, management, and coaching. They surrounded him with the wrong people after his last championship, that people unappreciated how much he sacrificed for this organization. A farewell tour was the least they could've done for him.

[@LeerreK]

he did a farewell tour to help out the lakers, it took the spotlight off of the management and the rest of the team

[@tubenachos]

2012-13 Kobe had a legitimate chance at #6 ring but that Achilles bro

[@menehune1025]

L K no lol he did it for himself. Don't try to spin it like he's a great guy.

[@sayitoutloudchp]

menehune1025 who cares?

[@3BALL4]

Bill talked so much shit to Kobe in his book lol

[@leaphengleng2941]

But Kobe had also ever ask for the trade

[@tellitlikeitisfresh6541]

Jalen head was swollen back then😂

[@dreezaayy]

P jax definitely rubbed off on Kobe. Zen master

[@robcameron8063]

Bill always hated Kobe.

[@smackduhlip]

kobe to CHICAGO?!?! my god

[@solo13th]

If the Bulls were willing to give up Luel Deng it would've happened.

[@WOWOWOWOWOWOOWWOWOWO]

Didn't Kobe ask to leave the Lakers after 2007 season ? Yes he did..

[@MambaMone]

WOWOWOWOWOWOOWWOWOWO he asked to leave but not to a championship team and he asked to leave because the Lakers organization was acting like they didn't want to win or go anywhere

[@sayitoutloudchp]

Kobe>Lebron

[@tonyrome3298]

it fuck up when they couldn't keep James harden but Miami get LeBron James an Chris bosh then when he went back to cavs it's him an Kevin love an Kyrie

[@hairandscalptruth.7040]

07 24 23 2nd viewing.

[@tubenachos]

Haha Kobe talks like MJ. For real

[@hairandscalptruth.7040]

04 19 22

[@ThEBeSt-gx8ze]

2008 hurt 😤

[@vilhoakawa1390]

God took him too soon from us 😢😢😢😢

[@alexlawrence6440]

Jalen and no Ja-Kobe

[@jesusflores2324]

1 or 2 hate, but millions said farewell. ahahahahahaa

[@eboooo]

See how Kobe has a hurt shoulder and is wearing a sling.

[@13Jmoore11]

Kobe never asked for a farewell tour. He stated multiple times he didn't want one. But the Lakers being so bad they needed that spotlight.

[@abuwadie3]

No, when you have arguably the most skilled player of all time and second only behind MJ as far as guard top 5 all time and even on a haters list in the top 10 all time then the farewell tour is organic , respect , not manufactured.

[@jeppep95]

Why did kobe want to get traded to chicago?

[@eboooo]

jeppep95 he didn't like playing with Shaq

[@jeppep95]

Michael Eyob no he wanted the trade in 06 when shaqwas gone but did he want to go to chicago, they were not a contender

[@eboooo]

Yeah you're right I forgot he didn't like how shitty they were without Shaq

[@rgrainger91]

jeppep95 to really put Chicago back on top

[@yunggpacino]

jeppep95 The Lakers were trash and the front office was horrible so he threatened to leave for Chicago.

[@smlbcity23]

Kobe didnt know how his Lakers overcame the Sacramento Kings back in 02? I think a ref got paid. Ridiculous foul calls against the kings it went funny.

[@reymarnier119]

Come 6 yrs later and Westbrick is now in the Lakers playing horribly

[@Jaspinish]

12:08 That moment when BS predicts the future...

[@yossiwibowo1786]

kobeef is disgusted by Jalen because Rose pissed that BEEF briant by Jalen Rosing him alp the time

[@taylorbooker9439]

lol 81

[@westsideo.g3793]

All u LBJ fans listen @22:40 this is why most will never be great as Kobe or even possess half of the heart he does

[@jesusflores2324]

waiting for ur stars now to score more than 81.. even on a really bad team...Russel Westbrook can since he has no team doing anything. sorry not going to happen. ahaHHUAUzHHzhzjzhhz

[@bh-0330]

bring bill simmons back. not to espn then. get him on inside the nba in place of ernie johnson or in addition to all of them

Nah

[@jazzsoul60]

Lebron (King) James! Led every major stat in the 2016 NBA finals. Did Kobe?

[@mauriciocortez8640]

Adam silver & kyrie won the title though lebron just helped a little bit & kobe was finishing hes career after winning 5 titles and just losing 2 finals series

[@ArmandoKozomara]

Kyrie was the clutch guy. they played almost equally as well. like kobe n Shaq

[@LeerreK]

both teams went scoreless from like the 5 minute mark in the 4th, it was Kyrie who made THE shot that won the game. then Lebron acted like he hurt his wrist so it wouldnt look as bad when he missed a free throw.

[@jcramirez2233]

LeBron Left To go with a already powerful team. Did Kobe??

[@marcusreed7985]

jazzsoul60 LBJ plays in a weak conference... did kobe

[@adamprice4871]

@23:22 Kobe was drafted by the Charlotte Hornets

[@8WessCoast24]

Kobe was technically drafted by the Lakers. Do your homework.

[@rambammer2000]

It's a sad sad sad world when even Bill Simmons and Jalen Rose don't have the guts to talk about how fucking rigged the series vs. Sacramento was.

[@oRESURRECTION]

They wanted to glamorize him not criticize because they knew the end was near.

[@dannyqueen5757]

neosapiens right lol

[@jadslash]

big kobe fan here. but i wish they did say something about that. lol

[@delamo8468]

Nothing was rigged you crybabies don't talk about game 6 if you don't want to talk about game 5 where the Kings got the iffy calls. Btw before you start the same old tall tales Donaghy didn't work that series at all...

[@Seif97ify]

Kobe wanna be punchin Jalen Rose.

[@arizonaFIREent]

I hate Kobe but I'd love to talk basketball with him

[@ihavenopantson.]

Kobe crosses his legs like a female, must have a small package

[@theroaringblaze2742]

The fuck are yall yalkin abt!?

[@fabianadams6827]

His legs were crossed so he could have support for his injured arm .. Smh

[@4WINify]

I think Kobe made a mistake the Mamba got bitten by another Mamba. I feel bad fornhis daughter he brings her to the games. Sometimes its good to teach our kids but some people look at it internally who is she? Just because he is famous so we shake her hand? Kobe did his job with his daughter but some people like LeBron had an evil eye on his daughter. I believe Lebron killed Kobe
