I loved this interview and the peace and bliss that Kobi transmitted to us. Thank you for sharing it😊

[@lewishowes]

You're welcome, thank you for watching🧡

[@Jordan-dt7wd]

Thanks for sharing this special moment with us Lewis. A good reminder to be kind and do the little things even with a busy schedule.

[@savitachohan2325]

Thank You Lewis for this beautiful interview with Kobe Bryant. Authentic and inspirational. Still is hard to believe that he and his beautiful daughter are no longer here. In the end, he understood the most important thing was his family. Kobe made his mark. He embodies the definition of greatness. Thank you for sharing.

[@BertitoCreativeWorld]

Kobe show me discipline Thanks for this man ❤

[@tinuvi]

I will not forget this statement: Losing is exciting! It means you get different ways to get better! RIP Kobe Bryant!!❤

[@yasseralsanoussi503]

Unbelievable

[@kiefpief]

Kobe was the beginning of my transformation. After he passed, I found myself listening to interviews with him on KZbin. I’d take long walks. I’d call it Kobe-ing. I am a different human being today as a result. I juice, meditate and walk 5 miles on average every day. I write my morning pages and I am an actress and writer ✍️ who has begun to share her gifts with the world anew - with discipline and care. I love what Kobe said about greatness. And I couldn’t agree more! It’s inspiring others. And so, on that note - here’s a reminder to all of us - to everyone out there - we are so deeply loved. ❤❤❤ let’s let that love shine for all the world 🌎 to see. 🎈🎈🎈

[@roycearthur8060]

Absolutely!!. You So.. Correct!. He is Legend 🎉🎉🎉.

[@rai55]

Kobe has inspired me since 96/97 & continues to after life. His passion & dedication to his craft, his career accomplishments, circumventing controversy in his personal life, leaving a legacy & so much more. Much respect, always ❤️

[@user-ws6fi7sp7g]

2020.01.26 We miss you Mamba😢

[@phunkyprince117_]

Man I miss Kobe 😢

[@user-id7xr1np5i]

Kobe is so PRESENT in this conversation. The fact you said you were not that known like you do now, it says so much why Kobe will not be forgotten. What a reciprocal conversation ,no gap no nothing. Looks as if you've known each other for so long. This is so humbling. He is so human. This is a watch now and again episode when pride pops out in me. Thank you so much Lewis

[@lewishowes]

You're welcome, thank you for watching🧡

[@Stevoluddy]

Love this observation. I used my makeawish back in 07 to go to the allstar game and had the opportunity to hang out in the Locker room for autographs and what not. It was here i realized what celebrity was for the first time. Most players... COUGH COUGH BRON COUGH sorry... were standoffish and doing their thing (which i understood even being only 9 years old at the time). But Kobe.... Kobe came right up to me, not knowing i was his biggest fan in the world. not knowing that i wore his jersey every single day in the hospital. He picked me up and talked to me like a FRIEND. like an absolute Homie that ive known for years. It gives me chills because of how present he was with me and how much he genuinely cared about the little things.

[@bryanwisdom4564]

My man… Lewis you were the reason Kobe gave you a great interview. You brought out his greatness. That was a masterclass. Thank you

[@divine.healing]

Gosh he was brilliant 🔥🙏❤️

[@lewishowes]

🙌

[@belindavanvelzen5257]

For sure!

[@DominionAnako-bb7ry]

Oh, Kobe Bryant and Lewis Howes! They are both incredibly inspiring individuals. Kobe Bryant was a legendary basketball player known for his unmatched work ethic and determination on the court. He was truly a beast in the game. Lewis Howes, on the other hand, is a well-known entrepreneur and motivational speaker who has a passion for helping others unleash their inner greatness. He's all about inspiring people to chase their dreams and live their best lives. It's amazing how these two individuals have made such a positive impact on so many people. Their stories and teachings are definitely worth exploring if you're looking for some extra motivation and inspiration.

[@GT350JOE84]

Such a great interview and genuine person. Wow, I'm very impressed with Kobe Bryant

[@lewishowes]

So glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate you for watching.

[@andystarkiller7492]

Kobe Bryant was my first inspiration along with Anakin Skywalker. In particular when I struggled while attending 8th grade (2010-11) and sophomore year (2012-13). When I reviewed again and again his highlights from 2007-2011, it fueled my anger and my motivation not to back up anything. I eventually succeeded.

[@kingtaconumbah1809]

Thank you for reposting this amazing interview with Kobe and sharing it with the world. The picture with him with the black mamba painting is epic. Man we miss him but his greatness and presence will always be felt.

[@lewishowes]

You're welcome, thank you for watching🧡

[@edwinrivera5009]

The greatest! Rip Kobe, Gigi and others. 🙏🏼

[@daniel_najar]

I’ve watched this interview a few times. It’s a classic. Thanks for including the bonus footage. This is one of your best pieces 🔥

[@guadalupetoledo9966]

What I like the most of Kobe is his humility that makes him more greatly

[@lewishowes]

🧡

[@aldocovarrubias9077]

I'm going through a torn achilles recovery at the moment and Kobe's story motivated me a lot, specially since he went through the same injury. Watching this inspired me even more to keep going and keep moving towards my objective. Not only through this injury but in life as a whole. Thank you!

[@natturner534]

Lewis, I’ve watched almost every Kobe interview on KZbin and this has always been my favorite one. I was upset when I couldn’t find it some time back. Thanks for the bonus content. Kobe has inspired me in many ways but what I’m working on lately is learning multiple languages like he did. I’m also inspired by your interview style. Truly being engaged and getting the best out of your guests. Well done! Keep up the great work.

[@lewishowes]

So glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate you for watching.

[@rai55]

THANK YOU for this raw edit!! What a tragic anniversary 🥹 Rest in peace to Kobe, Gianna & everyone who transitioned with them 🙏🏾✨

[@rafaelsantana7936]

Thank you for sharing. The way he attacked life gives me life. You are also inspiring Lewis 🙏🏾.

[@lewishowes]

🧡

[@DexterMag-aso]

All I can say is this is a poignant interview with the one and only Black Mamba ( I really miss Kobe for real ) the way you explore the depths of Mamba Mentality and life's true priorities, is nothing short of profound and deeply impactful. It brought to mind the insightful discussions my life coach Lisa Haisha had during her transformative retreat in the Philippines. Lisa often delved into the essence of mindset, purpose, and what truly matters in life, aligning seamlessly with the spirit of Kobe's wisdom. Thank you for sharing this valuable interview!

[@natashasanders8785]

I watched this when it first aired. Great interview! Thanks Lewis! #RIPKobe

[@lewishowes]

You're welcome 🧡

[@vilmagonzalez11]

We should theat as in that way, every day with everyone. That was his message. His hard work, his love to give the best of him always, including when something was wrong. How he found a new mission through arts to keep inspiring people. Mamba 24, Im forever grateful 🙏 ❤

[@maggies420]

Wow, what a beautiful interview ❤❤

[@lewishowes]

Thank you!

[@belleyang7186]

As always, well done! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 This made me tear up. 🥲

[@ThommyTy]

That was so awesome! I was going to watch an old one but I figured since you posted this there may be some reason. During watching the interview I realized it was an anniversary of his passing and it truly was nice to find out he was such a great man. I am glad his spirit has recycled as that energy is so important... And funnily enough I don't know why but I made an aside during my video that I recorded today about gratitude today that mentioned #TheSandlot and how awesome that movie and those scenes are with neighborly living and love. I appreciate you Lewis, and I am glad I got to know you through these videos these last few years.

[@EstrellaNavarrete]

Thank you for blessing us with this video interview and footage. We all miss Kobe so much.

[@lewishowes]

You're welcome, thank you for watching🧡

[@Boriqua731]

This interview resonates with my life and the work ethic me and him share. He makes time for people no matter who they are and he was one of the most curious minds. Great engaging interviewing and believe you both connected on a spiritual level. I love that he was not all about himself and was generous with his busy time. I can see why so many around the world felt like they lost a family member when he passed. 4 years on and so many stories people can share about him. Rest in peace to a wise old soul!

[@craigosterberg5045]

Working hard and smart is a valuable lesson. Practice makes perfect I’m your mind.

[@digital_intel]

KOBE ❤

🧡

[@fizzbaq7657]

Thank you for this interview and bonus footage Lewis. Kobe was my hero growing up. He was just starting to emerge as an elite NBA player when i was getting into basketball as a kid. I felt like i was growing up with him in so many ways mentally and emotionally. He inspires people like me because he gave it absolutely everything he had. He had flaws like we all do but he did everything he could to maximize his potential in so many areas of life and that for me is his legacy. As a quick aside, i think one of the reasons he was so engaged with you before and after was your sincerity, professionalism and your desire to make a great product in interviews bleeds through the screen. Great recognizes great. Thank you for sharing the time.

[@CKirtZ]

"There are a lot of questions that I don't have , even answer that I don't have but I'm just gonna figure them out as I go " Forever Mamba !

[@redfill68]

Kobe is a very engaged person. the way he threats people is exactly how i try to show respect to people! I remeber an interview with an ex college player. he still remebered his name and got along with the jokes. !! #mamba

[@lewishowes]

🧡

[@theglitchglobal]

Kobe Bryant is the GOAT on and off the court 💯

[@Kat556]

Loved it! He did impact and inspire people, who themselves (like you.. could see it in your eyes) are impacting and inspiring others 🥲 thanks for sharing ❤

[@leadershipimpact6550]

This is an excellent interview. Being in leadership field for many years I have seen many high level people but being humble and friendly like great late Kobe is rare. Thank you very much for sharing the interview and clips. You are awesome!

[@lewishowes]

You're welcome, thank you for watching🧡

[@aldrich1973]

3rd time for 3 mornings I am listening to this. #mambaway

[@QuinteDoe]

RIP to the goat and Gigi 🙏🏽💜 man really inspired me to be better at whatever it was, despite of. Truly miss this man and I never knew him but felt like i did. Felt like he helped the world too. So tragic we lost him so unexpectedly.

[@kimberliecerda4552]

Thank you. He was a beautiful Soul…still is☀️✨

[@sarahsimpson9848]

We can make all the plans, but we don't know the day or the hour, he was speaking into his future like he had all the time in the world but (don't know when this interview originally aired) but WE ALL are on borrowed time. May his words continue to inspire and uplift. RIP KOBE! & GIGI

[@kristinecapodagli7248]

I love kobe he's so intelligent he's a awesome person he never let his fame get to his head he stayed true to his family and to himself he will always be missed we need more athletes like kobe

[@rasulsamad5860]

He definitely did @ times

You're welcome! 🧡

Missing you Kobe 😢 🙏 and you daughter 🙏 🕊🕊

[@stephenvallejo3834]

Your story is enriched by each person who enters it as you walk.

[@rhylalia]

For some reason I remember listening to this whole conversation. The “lost tape” part too. I only listened on as a podcast never via KZbin and I remember hearing you guys talk about the Olympic Games and hearing the whole story

[@blessingchiramba7080]

The Spirit of Kobe still lives.I believe it's in the people that he inspired and changed their view to success and greatness.If he could do it from failing then why won't i not too. Thank you so much for the last 5 minutes of the video. Really showed who Kobe was outside of the Game , with different people from his family and teammates

[@traceyann76]

Kobe inspired me to be more present patient engaging and to listen 😊 and to share stories because nothing will move without then .. ❤ RIL Kobe B

[@noraamar6476]

Very warm hearted person ❤

[@annaa6259]

Beautiful man in and out and taken away - don’t understand life

[@daisyspicks]

I'm not into sports and therefore don't follow a lot of player's stories. I always heard amazing things about Kobe so that was no surprise but OMG! I'm a huge fan now and looking forward to reading his book to see what other valuable lessons he shares. Thank you Lewis!!! P.S. I also just realized Kobe and I share the same birthday 😱❤

[@Boriqua731]

Wow! I believe he inspires everyone no matter if they follow him before or not. That's great you share the same birthday.

[@julianbartley7766]

Yeah man big ups still lewis i really appreciate it tho fo realz still, kobe bryant is definitely been my biggest inspiration in my life tho fo realz and he became that guy for me by juss simply being the best version of myself still and in of course the game of basketball 🏀 still like he basically showed me the "how" and stuff still to get to the next level still so i can create a legacy for myself still and by becoming a better basketball 🏀 player still so yeah!.

Dude! Thank you so Much for this! That 4 Minutes you straight broke down like KOBE would have done his self in an Episode of KOBE Bryant Detail truly show's How he continues to live on in all of us if we take the time to reflect! Treat others the way he did keep that kind of Spirit/Mentality alive because it's such a Rare Type Human Understanding & Empathy! RIP HERO24KOBE THANKS LEWIS & UR TEAM & AI!!

Ahhh Kobe, my hero. Thank you for sharing this Lewis. Seems like Kobe really enjoyed this interview. It is because Kobe was also very spiritual and wise.

[@linavaisnoraite]

That was so beautiful, thank you for sharing! I've noticed his calmness, his ability to enjoy time, and even to stop time in interaccion. As you said he was generous with his time, and I believe that he made a most of his time while he was here. Such an inspiration! It moved me with tears❤.

I will take with me from KB on this interview is that whether you lose or win the process is the same. Learn from your mistakes when you lose and realize what works best when you win.

You're welcome, thank you for watching🧡

[@pamkirby4390]

Awesome 🤩💛 This is the best Lewis and I know that AI was so great here but it’s going to be so negatively used in future years. My prayer is that for you to talk on that as you have a huge impact on the future of humanity. Kobe is a smart and dedicated man, I think your parents have the hugest impact because they are the first authority you have, it’s sad that so many children won’t have that. I know you will use this for your family, that’s so awesome.

[@lewishowes]

Thanks for being here!

[@Chatgptpluginsreview]

The greatest part about Kobe is he understood that the true theory of greatness is how it effects others. He understood this while understanding that greatness starts within. After the flesh accepts that, the greatness that will be will echo throughout.

This was awesome to watch and thank you so much for sharing this with us. I felt like Kobe is still alive. It’s great to see how Kobe with all his fame was still humble and kind.
