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.

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.

[@h3artands0uLL]

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 ❤

As a lifelong Spurs and NBA fan, two takeaways. 1) I could listen to Kobe talk all day long about his personal interactions with MJ. Their connection, similarities, and differences are just so interesting and fun. And 2) to hear Kobe speak about San Antonio with so much reverence just means so much as a Spurs fan watching that rivalry for all those years. He contributed to so many amazing memories for each of those respective team’s franchises. They dominated the NBA for nearly 20 years. Kobe will truly be missed! #RIP

Matt Barnes is amazing at interviewing

[@dafonkybassmusic]

JustHere yeah he gettin kinda good at it frfr!! LoL

[@earlystoppage1233]

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”

[@slatt4l418]

Suley Man then when he asked about the free throws 🤣🤦🏾‍♂️ Kobe was like ummm

[@louisiana_hotsauce3746]

I agree . Even the one with Beast Mode & 2 Chainz was good.

[@earlystoppage1233]

get money ya dig 817 ohh yeah the airball free throw part I was wtf kinda question is this?? Stax smoked sativa instead of indica on accident 😂😭 Let’s be grateful at least we got Barnes to get us some gems from Kobe

[@captainobvious90]

I live in Asia, it was night time then when Kobe, Gigi and all those with them passed away. I remember lying in bed, and I was struggling to sleep, turning right and left. Then I decided to turn on my phone, and when I read the news, my heart stopped. I never really cared when celebrities died, except for maybe a few, like Robin Williams for example. His death hit me so hard, I just never realised how connected I was (I love basketball) to this man who I never met and will ever be able to meet.

[@sjohnson9789]

I could listen to Kobe talk for hours. Just his knowledge of the game and how he tells his story is incredible. His last interview before passing and I’m grateful for it. 🙏🏾

[@onikuman]

Matt Barnes, one of the most well-spoken athletes and interviewers, period.

[@MtyQuinn69]

He did attend UCLA.

[@robinmercado2397]

Matt Barnes and Kobe have swwweeettt history in nba hahahaha

[@chinqlinq89]

That’s when I heard Kobe say at the end “I’m surprised you two are in media” I laughed too. Love that big media companies are realizing theres a huge market for uncensored and authentic content. This is true ‘Reality TV’

[@xboxfosho]

[@Olivia-to9ym]

Saying some is “well spoken” especially in terms of athletes, is a backhanded compliment. Honestly it’s a micro aggression, but I digress.

Such an awesome interview by Kobe. That dude was special, world is worst off without him… my mom passed a couple months before. This was the first big death I heard about after losing my mom and this shit affected me like no other. And I was barely a basketball fan then. Kobe is an amazing individual with a unique story that everyone should know and try to learn from.

I’ve watched countless Kobe interviews but this was so much more organic. I would’ve watched for 4 hours. We need a part 2, 3, 4.......

[@DavidTheDeveloper]

Yea there’s a lot to talk about , especially the GOAT talk and how Kobe’s name is always left out in those conversations.

[@Izm_Skizm]

David Estilo right. And it’s never made sense to me why that is. He’s put in the work to prove it and earned all of it the hard way.

[@saint0rleansofthe9th76]

Y’all must didn’t see the knucklehead pod

[@KidBowsur]

@@Izm_Skizm asuch as I love Kobe he was the best Jordan impersonator. For everything Kobe did MJ did it better which is why he gets left out. That's also why LeBron will ultimately be left out. When you look at LeBron as an individual he's higher than Kobe but Kobe was a winner.

[@LeBronJames-StatPadderMan]

@@KidBowsur I'm overrated tbh. MJ is better but Kobe was a better 3PT shooter. Gap between MJ and Kobe isn't that far. That is why Jordan himself said Kobe is the only guy worth comparing himself to.

[@joneslee4419]

You can really see that Jackson admires Kobe an his greatness. The respect is real.

[@h3artands0uLL]

Just watched again. A month and a half later he passed away 💔. Still hard to believe he didn’t come up rising out of those ashes with Gigi in his arms. He was always the Laker hero we needed in LA, coming through no matter what. Our real life super hero. I really expected him to come out of that later that day. In reality… a helicopter crash/a train/a natural disaster is the only thing that could’ve stopped from being there for his family 💔

[@EmEs1018]

Miss Kobe… God gave us 41 years of him, which seems not enough, but he served his purpose and went somewhere better than this world. Rest Easy, Legend.

[@BoogieNotLucky]

I love how while Kobe played he didn’t give media to much to talk about besides his game. Post retirement I love how he finally opened up, wish we got more years to pick his brain not just with basketball but life in general bc mamba mentality translates well off court, what a human being. Long Live Bean !

It doesn't even seem real ... He was one of those rare athletes that you could listen to talk about things other than sports. I feel privileged to have watched him play in his prime.
