He isn’t trying to make the interview about him yet he asked very pertinent questions. He has figured out that you can ask hard / firm questions and not be disrespectful. He steps out of the way and allows the guest to shine . Good job 👏🏿.

I'm not familiar with the interviewer, but I am now binge watching the playlists. He is very good at his craft. I have also found a new respect for Kobe Bryant. I'm not the biggest basketball fan any more. I pretty much stopped watching when Jordan retired the 1st time. Kobe seems to be somewhat down to earth. I hope there are many more interviews to come. How about some interviews with older hockey legends and football legends.

I’ve never seen anyone pour their heart and soul out, as a representative of my hometown, more than you did. Not just the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, but the grit and grime of the hard work behind the scenes. A true Los Angeles icon.

So Kobe was a Magic fan but he plays like Mike and Lebron was a Jordan fan but he plays like Magic. Oh...kay.......

[@joshklenner1799]

Assassin DosNueve i definitely agree, but kobe plays exactly like jordan. I wouldn't say lebron plays exactly like magic, he has a style of play we have never seen. Kobe mimics jordan move for move, mimicked his work ethic, his mannerisms, etc. so for him to say he didnt know who mj was sounds like bullshit to me lol.

[@anthonythomas4836]

Josh Klenner Stop with the "we've never seen anything like him" crap, we haven't seen someone as a comparable physical specimen with the style of play he has, we HAVE seen the style of play b4 many times. If you watched hoops in the 90's you'd know wings who could pass score and rebound were styles Innovated by Pippen and Grant Hill. His style of play is neither 100% organic nor completely original.

[@devvv4616]

He said he didn't hear mj till he went to the USA. So he probably imitated him after he went to the US since MJ was then considered the best by then

Not to mention he visited the US like every summer and played in a lot of summer leagues so he definitely would have heard about Jordan from other kids he played against. Even in Europe Jordan was already very well known in the late 80s and early 90s.

ok, forget Italy he lived outside of philly, we all wore Jordans. You can't honestly say you never heard of Mike no matter where you go in the world. plus he kinda wore Mikes number for a bit in high school. for those of you that didn't play against him in the 90's I can see how you would believe that line, but he often ran into us ball players from neshaminy high. next he will say he never played at Vets park or popular park. I still remember my best friend Joe buonanno teaching kobe a move that he later used in the all star game. just keep it 100 kobe, nobody will think less of you

[@ermocrate]

Paul Harris Look, he returned in USA when he was 13yo in 1991, Internet wasn't a thing back then and we only watched very few games of the NBA in Italy, the "Jordan Phenom" started in Italy in the 1991. His first home video "Come fly with me" released in 1989 in USA was released here 2 years later and you have to buy it in really underground stores.

He then moved back to the States when he was 13 (1991) Kobe said they only broadcast Laker games where he was from. On top of that it was a small village. Magic was his idol. Jordan wasn't as big then (91) since he was at the beginning of his championship runs so of course Kobe didn't really know who he was. Not till he moved back. Your not thinking in hindsight.
