"When you think of Kobe Bryant you think the king of mental toughness" -Kendrick Perkins

[@itcd1]

💯

[@leetraviusmckay2919]

Kendrick Perkins kept it real

[@yolandalewin1361]

True i love the bear hug ! Story.

[@charlenewalker7891]

yes he did

[@pg13pacernation30]

Can't believe Kobe is really gone I really thought Kobe will be alive forever

[@danieljohnson6375]

Nobody has that immortality as a human but his name will definitely be alive forever. Hopefully his soul too. Top 5 all time easily and I rooted against him especially when I moved to Sacramento lol

[@dcomputers]

I grew up on kobe, since he was 17 in to the nba was like yesterday . I remember his dunk contest while in the living room. Time flys its so weird

[@chawa2700]

his legacy will man!

Perkins is the man. I hope he stays on TV for a long long time cause he keeps it so real. Not just on this topic, but on all basketball related topics.

[@daveedphillippi3361]

I have this feeling that everyone one of these NBA payers and EX NBA players are going to squash any beef they have with one another. I see a lot more friendships and a lot more competitiveness in the league. Everyone's been ballin since Kobe's tragic death 😢. We miss you Kobe and GiGi 💔 but this is only going to make the NBA game so much more entertaining and competitive.

[@jackdanielss]

Garnett and Ray Allen should be a start

[@MrE_]

@@jackdanielss that's what I was thinking. I doubt it. Garnett's pretty stubborn

Perks, a real one...

[@MacDonald709]

KP is gone end up being a legendary sportscaster. Said it here first.

[@Dank_204]

Seeing him on the court, he looked menacing but the man inside that massive frame is shockingly full of pure love and respect. And hes eloquent with his words! You might be right on with your statement!

[@southpawbillings9292]

Mad respect for KP. Always loved the guy

[@軒正-q6e]

I met you at the lowest point in my life. Your Mamba mentality inspired me and changed my life, like a mentor, encouraged me. As long as I think of you, I have the motivation to work hard. now. . . I can't believe it, your death. It's like watching a movie. Now, I sincerely wish you: rest in peace. Rest in peace Kobe 。

[@LifesLessons100]

"40 piece wing dinner... SPICEY!!" 👌

[@st3vend]

I love when Perk is on. “I don’t fly private... I can’t afford it.” 😂

[@knewsome05]

He should replace Charles Barkely

[@oopopp]

looking forward to this... Perks keeps it REAL....

[@droid17singh49]

I like the way Perkins talks and it connects because he speaks from the bottom of his heart.

[@russiandevil14]

Kobe name gonna be around for 100+ years true legend

[@Dec4AllTimeAlways]

I used to hate Kobe for copying MJ so much. Walking, talking, and sticking his tongue out like MJ. There's a generation who thinks those are only Kobe's signature moves. I realized he was just carrying MJ's spirit.

[@rrogers2370]

Fritz 2Live4 U you’re not wrong...but their games aren’t the same aside from looking stylish flying through the air.

[@etxsports5836]

@Fritz 2Live4 U No JORDAN didn't copy Dr.J , he copied his oldest brother, whom was a great player but shorter and David Skywalker Thompson whom defeated Bill Walton's UCLA dynasty with NC State, both were Carolina boys that played on dirt courts, that's whom Jordan patterned his game after and Jerry West...JORDAN was his own guy and got the tongue thing from his dad, when his dad was concentrating his tongue would go out.

[@krizm]

u can't hate kobe for the man he was off the court- which I think why he's a better athlete than mj, helps out community, trains players after retirement, talks and takes pics with anyone- way more humanitarian than mj ever was

[@dgrullon9596]

I think the same thing. Now. More then ever. I respect him. And I feel bad for disliking him for that.

[@TheBorderJumper17]

He was my Jordan....Love you Mamba

[@dgrullon9596]

I like this interview by Perkins. Much respect for him. Being real. 💯 ❤️

[@apotebill]

40 pieces spicy wings 😂. Fist time I laugh since Kobe passed.

[@ericphillips1338]

Beautiful n thank you brother!!!

[@shaunbang]

I’ve gained so much respect for Perk ever since he’s joined this broadcasting team. He always had the stigma of being the aloof big man that doesnt really have an educated mind and isn’t a good player but it’s clear and obvious what an intellectual guy he is and how much he knows about the game. He always seemed like a quiet guy but little did I know how funny and how smart he really is

[@cantumere4331]

The craziest thing is I remember Kobe Bryant too

[@cantumere4331]

Nick Walker joke went over your head bud

TO me it feels like , Kobe is the world's little brother who we get to watch , Grow up , become successful and Become , the World Older cooler Brother who we all proud of

Kendrick Perkins has finally gained my respective after 10 years of being iffy on him, not knowing if I liked him or hated him. What he said in the very first half of this about Kobe Bryant meant a lot and I liked it. So I see you Kendrick Perkins thank you for sharing this perspective. Rest in Peace to my Favourite Athlete Kobe Bryant.

Kobe was worth half a billion how was there any safety sytems missing from that helicopter. And why would kobe ignore safety precautions when hes on board with his daughter and other families ..makes perfect sense

[@unknown716]

Joe Roll seriously, something isn’t right.

[@truthspeaker4772]

@ Joe Roll So you think that was their first time in the helicopter. That’s how he traveled in California. I’m sure the weather conditions have been similar to what it was that day. When it’s your time it’s your time pure and simple. The pilot was a 20yr veteran. This was just a horrible accident.

[@LESHANNONSHARPE]

This was just a freak accident. It’s easy to look at the what ifs

[@cc3523]

Joe Roll Kobe isn’t the first to die of such a tragedy. Life happens. When’s it’s your time, it’s your time. We’ll never know.

Kendrick that wasn't an apology that was you basically saying you don't know what you did to hurt him in your words whatever I did to hurt you I'm sorry so you don't even acknowledge or know what you did because you're saying whatever not as in all the things I did your words mean a lot you should have said I'm sorry that my words hurt you my brother and I love you

KP ONE OF THE few 200 percent effort players ever in any sport. Keith Smart is today's Kendrick. Wish you and KD Gods favor in sewing up your friendship. Go Nets ! And for all saddened by Koby's rest assured he is in eternal life with God and his little girl playing on the rainbow court right now. I will reach out to all of you right now and not preach to you yet ask you where are you going after this life? Do you believe in a higher power as in God and Heaven? No one is forcing you to believe anything yet i can tell you I have witnessed the Kingdoms power in an amazing miracle. Koby is an angel now in eternity in his cottage in the sky. Do you believe he is? If you are doubtful ask for a showing of the Almighty in your own life and he will show himself to you.

[@josephcampbell3718]

[@jamirimaj6880]

KD really did Perk wrong by saying their center didn't show up? I watched that Finals run, Perk was basically Draymond to them, without the little things like screens and hard fouls and tenacity etc, they wouldn't beat that Spurs team and reach the Finals, believe me
