Kobe and MJ are the GOATS in my book, purely based off their mentalities. Skill was one thing - the need to win and dominate was another.

[@thebotfather9508]

@@MaxGuttsait Kobe > Jordan... & I say that as an old head that grew up watching Jordan. Kobe managed to be the goat while staying humble off the court. Jordan is known for 💩-tting on his fans & admirers & just generally being a bad person on & off the court. for a long time I thought it was Jordan, but Kobe is the real goat.

I saw that Achilles tear moment live... I was flabbergasted, it was the most inspirational thing I have ever witnessed. People DO NOT WALK after tearing the Achilles. There is no tension on the back part of your leg. It would feel like the back part of your leg is on the ground... for him to put mind over matter... that was something to behold. I mean, a dislocated finger happens. Many people have popped it back in and played on... but a tore Achilles usually calls for a stretcher/ cart to move them... it was like watching Jesus walk on water... almost.

I started watching basketball because of Kobe. Just a 13 year old flipping through the channels and seeing him and Shaq going off in the 2000 NBA finals vs the Pacers. It wasn't until 6 months later I saw videos of Jordan and the Bulls win 6 consecutive titles with two 3 peats. Although that was very impressive, I always thought Kobe was my generations Jordan. I was a young chubby teenager before I got on a basketball court and tried to duplicate his moves, lost weight and became "Baby Kobe" by my peers because I played just like him. I even had the mamba mentality when it came down to the clutch along with the "must win attitude. He is the reason I put my playstation controller down, got off my fat ass and laced up a pair of nikes to play basketball. Just developing a passion for the game and being competitive helped me apply that towards my everyday life as an adult. Im 35 now with a wife, 3 daughters and son and they've watched me cheer Kobe on all the way to his very last game. They've even seen me break down when he passed because it felt like I lost a big brother that showed me alot over the years on and off the court. While people til this day debate who is or was the goat between, Jordan, Kobe or Lebron, my goat is the man that impacted my life the most and that will always be Kobe. #mamba4ever

I'm going to carry that mentality in college too. Mamba mentality. Anyone that challenges it can get fucked.

[@juan-lz7fq]

I love how he and Timmy are looking at each other. That's a bond man, these two are basically friends after playing against each other for almost 2 decades, in the same conference. These two and KG was the perfect selection for a class in HOF.

[@dhinton1]

That's probably why an exception was made to induct Kobe with Tim and Kevin in the 2020 class. Otherwise, he would not have eligible til the 2021 version.

[@davidking360]

idk when Tim duncan was asked about Kobe when he was about to retire he seemed salty asf. He basically said idc about him.

[@BasketBall-NewsCast]

I met Kobe at a signing event in Paris with Addidas as a rookie or even before the season started, I can't recall but one thing is sure, we had no idea this small kid would become one of the best players all time. Miss the dude, still affected by his sudden death. He was such an inspiration for many

Someday my grand kids are gonna ask me “why do we say Kobe when we shoot” then I’m gonna say “Lemme tell you the story of the mamba” R.I.P KOBE, GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN. It’s crazy it’s been over a year, I remember the first day I saw him play. I was at this restaurant and the Lakers Vs OKC round 1 matchup and I saw Kobe go insane, and from that day on I started playing Basketball. Kobe is my favourite player of all-time and he’s the reason I started play basketball

The mindset of Kobe is literally something nobody can teach. Ever.

[@filiptomic3044]

Only jordan came there

[@aamirrazak3467]

I think only him and MJ had that mentality. The will to win at all costs, to be obsessed with winning, can't teach it, it's something you build up yourself

[@leoh6742]

BS. People that think those work ethics can't be taught end up being parents who let their kids do whatever or have whatever they want.

[@TrillMatic187]

@@leoh6742 parents? That has nothing to do with it. Kobe's parents practically disowned him even after winning a championship. The work ethics and the mindset of Kobe can be taught. But within yourself, nobody else can teach other about that. Obviously this went way over your head.

Kobe is the Gold Standard of what being both a Laker and a professional basketball player is all about! Kobe thank you for inspiring me to love the game of basketball and give it my all in each game because every game makes you better/ thank you for always making us get to our feet even when all odds were against you, for never giving up and for being my idol 🥺❤️🙏🏻 I watched all of these highlights and it feels like it was just yesterday. Remember Kobe once said that if anyone that is crazy enough to go head to head with me, is welcome to be my teammate and next thing you know, Matt Barnes and Kobe were Laker teammates 👌🏻

Maybe you missed the part where he raped a 19 year old girl and told police about his numerous affairs or his allocution to said girl....most fans only remember the 4 million dollar rock he bought the wife not his admission of guilt
