ScantsRants It’s like this with Matt. When he played for Orlando years ago, I noticed he was fiery as a player on the court. His behavioral stances wasn’t as live in Orlando at the time was it was when he became a full blown journeyman the rest of the way. When he played for the Grizzlies, that’s when I really pick up on his behavioral tendencies. Yes he had that fiery temper, but the guy is one of those no non sense guys who will put you on blast. When he did his first interview as a Grizzly, that’s when I noticed this bruh talks with some solid intel. I was astounded because at the time with Matt’s rep, lockdown defense, get in your grill, willing to fight, etc. When you get to see another side of a player, it’s cool to get to see that because it’s like a rare moment you get to see from players.

Nobody will read this I’m sure, but I remember watching this after it came out, and then a few weeks later going on a work trip. My flight landed in Chicago 2 hours after the incident, so I remember walking off the airplane into the hotel lobby and seeing grieving and I didn’t know why. Until I saw a TV, which was showing the news. As a lifelong basketball fan (but not even necessarily a Kobe-particular fan compared to others beforehand) beginning to cry in the airport, because regardless of my prior fandom of the athlete (he was always beating my team, so that’s why I didn’t pull for him, because of how good he truly was), I was a big fan of the man, Kobe Bryant. This was a tough one. There will never be another like him.

This quote from another player makes me think of Kobe. "Don't judge me until you know me. Don't underestimate me until you challenge me. And don't talk about me until you've talked to me."

[@csklmf86]

The Jones Family I found that Kobe recruited Barnes, not artest. Well, it does not matter and I don’t give two shits. The whole point is they transited from hating Kobe to respecting his game due to his undeniable work ethics.

Stephen Jackson had some moments that made me cringe hard asf in this interview 😂 mainly the “I should’ve been mvp in our high school tournament 25 years ago” you could tell Kobe was thinking “you seriously asking me about this shit”

A few things I picked up from this if anybody is Interested: • Kobe’s confidence wasn’t a delusional type of confidence, he knew he put the necessary amount of work in • Kobe would recognize the talent in others, respect where respect is due • Recognize the areas you are not comfortable in, and get better in those • Kobe would seek knowledge. Talk to people you are interested in and think might know something

I love that Kobe didn’t do typical media stuff for Retired players when he stopped playing basketball (podcast on the game, sitting on a panel breaking down every game with current players, etc.). He was Kobe.. he had to navigate a new course and set a new path. Writing books for kids Won an Oscar Coaching kids And so many more projects he was probably planning that we’ll probably never know about. Paulo Coelho had come out and said he was deleting how far they had gotten in a joint venture of a new book because it was senseless without him now (the day of his death). I wonder how much more we would have seen from him. RIP Kobe ❤
