Kobe Bryant - The Vigorous Worker

Kobe Bryant's mental makeup for the game of basketball and life is truly one of a kind. He pushes himself beyond the limits of both physical and mental. He loves the game so much, he would sacrifice his body to the point of exhaustion to win at all costs. My admiration runs deep for this man, for he never stops, he never quits, he never tires. He is the Vigorous Worker.

9 years later im still watching this. RIP kobe bryant. you will forever be in my heart

[@lovetheball7423]

It doesn't matter who you are. What your situation in life is. Doesn't matter if you're an orphan. Doesn't matter if you're white or black. But if you have the work ethic that Kobe has you can LITERALLY accomplish anything you desire.

[@LatinMiracle]

I will cry till I can't cry no more the day Kobe walks off the court for good. In his heart, he wants to keep going and going till he says no more it's time. I will always admire & respect him.

[@amansinghsarna]

It seems soon to his end as he just tore a shoulder ligament.

[@amansinghsarna]

Yorie, he respects him because of his work ethic and he uses that probably in his own job. Your comment makes no sense.

[@amansinghsarna]

He's not actually gonna cry bro. He's just saying that he'll be sad once he leaves.

[@edwardelric9107]

+yorie hatzidakis plenty of betas have a job though look at 99% of nba players

[@ChuckNorris-bj3fk]

I can only imagine how u felt when u got the news of his passing….he will always be in my memories

[@yomomajoke5537]

"Talent is what u have naturaly but skill is developed by hours and hours of beating on your craft" Kobe is the most skilled player and the most hard working player ever. Jordan may have been more talented but Kobe worked harder

[@donfabriziogambino316]

Kobe is more talented

[@PeterJustGames]

Practice, practice, practice, repetition, repetition, repetition = GREATNESS. I don't regret any of the time I have spent watching this man play.

[@utnek69]

"He's cursed just as much as I am." - Michael Jordan on Kobe's competitiveness

[@curiousgeorge7445]

Kobe has the heart of a champion, of a true warrior, he wont let this end his career. So of course he will come back. This injury is only going to give him strength to overcome what others say is impossible and will act. Nothing can stop Kobe except Kobe himself, and even he wont let himself stop till he reaches his goals.

[@willm2799]

Isnt tht something of marvel. A one of one in existence in what it means to live with life. Everyday loaded with mountains of ambition and fearlessness. A story of not letting boundaries capture your imagination but rather the imagination itself be the boundary.

[@SiLintDeath]

Outside of MJ, there hasn't been a player like Kobe. A true warrior who just goes all out.

[@bettyjeanstokes360]

Kobe is my inspiration. He's the perfect example of how you're to train if you want to be the GREATEST. He's the GREATEST! The reason why I get up and excise every morning and talk trash the rest of the day. I'm loving this! You go, Kobe, you're an inspiration to all of us who hear the sound of your voice and see your face. Man, you amazing in all that you do. So, amazing.

[@barrymccociner4105]

This reads like you didn't know Kobe was dead when you made this comment. The GOAT was stolen from us far too soon

[@JessahMaeG]

i love this man!!!!!! idc what people say to him but this man taught me to never give up keep pushin the ball. his desire and will to win is rare i cant see anyone wjo have an eye to get revenge man

[@russell9411]

Work ethic is unmatched , if u been watchin kobe play for a minute u would know cuz kobe wasn't even that good wen he was wit shaq then trains so hard to become the most skilled player in nba history

[@TheseOpenRoads]

What the fuck are you talking about "wasnt that good when he was with shaq". The way you spell words really shows how smart of a person you are but your knowledge of basketball makes you seem even dumber.

[@russell9411]

Man u commenting irrelevant as shit lls

[@russell9411]

Like I said kobe got way better then when he was wit shaq

[@TheseOpenRoads]

Ballin Too No duh. You would HOPE that he would get better playing with one of the top 3 centers of all time...

[@russell9411]

Shaq didn't make kobe the player he is now. Kobe made kobe by work ethic , u dumb fucks think Shaq made kobe, wen kobe was the 1 went to finals 3 straight times , Shaq out their chasing rings going wit kobe to d.wade to steve nash to lebron to celtics like smh lls

[@prohamburgers]

kobes work ethic is just out standing he works harder than anyone in the league major respect man.

[@JessahMaeG]

my motivation to play basketball and my desire to win came from him. He gave his all heart in everygame

[@seb598]

Something unfortunate happened to me recently & I’m using this video as motivation to bounce back. Rip Kobe

[@Lakersfield24]

He's got the heart more than anyone in the game

[@kbtitan2464]

My inspiration to greatness, I won't stop or let emotions get in the way I got next 25 (:

[@TheGrzechu16]

He is amazing. True warrior Never gives up ! Come back and win a championship next year .

[@SpeedySmr18]

Wow thanks for posting... This is sooooo inspirational... Not only as a Lake Show fan (Laker girl for life), But as a baller myself... Kobe has always been and will always be the best in my opinion!! I feel for KOBES.. . BUT!! THE BLACK MAMBA will come back more fierce than ever... We have witnessed the best of the best.... And will continue once he returns... It's ridiculous how THE BLACK MAMBA only has 1 NBA MVP... He should have 4-5 by now.... Maybe more!!! ❤❤✨✨

[@clairem.5006]

My man!!! He is truely amazing to watch and listening to him makes me appreciate him more!!! Wow! Say what you wanna say but Kobe is the Man behind Jordan!

[@robertlesuer2755]

Kobe Bryant, real deep dude, RIP 😭💔, respect.

[@kbtitan2464]

***** My favorite Kobe video ever.

[@fd3s17]

kobe will be back and have an mvp season. he will start off where her left off just before his achillies went. kb24 beast

[@abesha171]

How quickly people forget ... Kobe is great. But Michael, he revolutionized the game. Truly the greatest of all time.

[@BCZAR1]

One of the greatest videos I have ever watched..thanks..

[@GMilanov23]

That's just who HE IS ... That's Kobe Bryant ... The G.O.A.T ... Great Video

[@stephenjefferson6111]

Kobe Bryant#bestofageneration. KB24 This man will play til he's 40 if he has to, just to shatter the record books and win titles. There is honeslty NO ONE BETTER than Kobe other than MJ. How can ppl even say Bron is better if you truly are a fan of the game. Kobe has reached that status and you can only place him next to MJ. Thats it!!

[@karlflanagan8376]

Glad I grew up watching a living legend, thank you Kobe. in my book you are the greatest to ever set foot on the court. Respect

[@theofficialdjsyk]

nobody in the nba has ever came close to jordan than kobe. The hardest working athlete on the planet. No one can come back from this injury except this man. The reason why he will come back because his desire and drive his dedication his love for the game his heart is basketball He knows nothing else more better than basketball. The ultimate player to get you a championship Your right he will never be the same. He'll be better than he ever was He will be the only nba player to go beyond his peak

[@teonieddy]

Made me cry.Can't lie man since Jr.high school to now and I'm 27..Greatest overall basketball player ever.Your last years will be your greatest years kobe..Vino mamba

[@filahohi]

The best offensive player of all time along with the hardest worker. If Kobe gets 7 rings and scores 40K points then he'll be the greatest

[@cesarg4819]

u cant stop the unstopable mentallity of a TRUE CHAMPION AND LIVINGLEGEND of the GREAT KOBE BRYANT!!!!!!!!!!WORK HARD 24/8

[@christiansanchez5565]

Kobe Bryant is the best basketball player to ever live. simple as that. his work ethic, his strive to win, his toughness. he loves the game of basketball and he will be back! #COUNTONKOBE

[@joshuawinter7779]

I use this as fuel to keep me going when i feel like i dont have anything in the tank. I dig deeper- thank you kobe bean Bryant. I love you.

[@constantine3music]

my favorite player of all time

[@pg1]

This really motivates me. Kobe is inspiring.

[@franksters08]

When Kobe comes back and if he wins one more championship, with out a doubt, he will become the greatest!

[@Serching4JerryGarcia]

The fact that modern medicine and physical therapy have advanced over the years and that this is Kobe Bryant we're talking about...there's a good chance he'll come back pretty much the same and will be ready when the season starts.

[@RegSmith16]

People fail to realize that kobe won 2 rings by pure leadership. He doesn't have another go 2 guy like mj did..that's greatness at its purest form. With hard work, trust, patience and belief, a 6th ring is possible.

[@Aleduc2828]

Watching the finals you see the difference between players like Kobe and Michael versus LeBron. He had to be carried out with leg cramps. Michael played through the flu, and Kobe hit two clutch free-throws on a torn Achilles. Michael and Kobe are the type of players willing to put everything aside, they tell their bodies not now, they play through. LeBron is a great talent but he lacks this. Then again, in the 4th game of the 2014 finals, LeBron didn't show. His performance was lacking in all the quarters with the exception of the 3rd, he didn't play with desperation. Michael and Kobe try to win at all costs. LeBron lacks the things that would take him to Michael's and Kobe's level. Kobe has so much more heart, determination, skill and will. Come back Kobe, one more!

[@cgallo23]

i agree with everything except for the cramp part. He couldnt walk. he tried to go back out but spo wouldnt let him. but i agree with the rest, i was shocked to see him so passive in game 4 and most of 5

[@ikeacaha4460]

If you knew anything about sports u would know that the flu doesn't affect your muscles and body movement. You can walk and run with the flu. But u feel like shit. With a torn Achilles u can still force yourself. A cramp is when the muscle itself tightens. The muscle itself. That makes it almost impossible to move. Ive had cramps. And really bad ones. I had to yell for my parents to come and carry me. There is a difference between the flu and a cramp. Yes Jordan felt like shit but the flu didn't affect his mobility. Cramps completely shut your body down.

[@cgallo23]

ike acaha exactly, people think of cramps as just a small pain, but cramps can be really bad, which is what lebron witnessed. finally someone understands

[@blackbookish8068]

ike acaha watch scottie pippen nba finals 1998. he was close to play in a wheelchair. still showed up. beside, the big question is : as a professional... how to you get cramps...? aren't you suppose to.... prepare... hydrate...

[@gabrialblast2007]

Shit like this and all those injuries is why I praise this man.

[@nightarrow6153]

Kobe is the greatest!!! RIP

[@NorthStar21]

Been watching this video on a regular basis for now... 10 years. Damn.

[@ie5killaz]

I've been watching this man my whole life, and to think that he isn't coming back is pure fiction. The reality is he is gaining momentum. And isn't slowing down. Form is temporary, class is permanent.

[@DominicSuper93]

This is the best video on KZbin

[@alfredom919]

Kobe Bryant! As Dedicated a human being as there can be! He WILL be back!!

[@YanWeezy19]

This video is truly inspirational...this makes me appreciate the mental aspect of hard work and dedication so much more. I'd rather have a mentally strong athlete over a physically superior athlete any day of the weak. The human mind is the most important and lethal tool human beings have. It can turn a normal person into something extremely special. Kobe is evidence.

[@FliesMakeMeMad]

Hate him or love, the man commands respect. Anyone that doesn't respect his game, simply isn't a true basketball fan.

[@jimmmy465]

Agreed dude, MVP is an individual award. It's all about the multiple rings which means yourself and the team have succeed multiple times in the finals. That's what defines a career, a legacy! KOBE > LEBRON

[@reconstructione-dub7802]

Kobe is The G.O.A.T.💪🏽🙏🏽🏀

[@rydominguez9977]

Peaceful Warrior of Basketball a miracle comeback man.

[@TheCuddlyKnife]

the intensity of his spirit to know he was done, and take those two free throws. and make those two free throws.

[@EyyShawn]

I don't know why people bag on Kobe. The guy works so hard and never gives up. I don't see any other player who has the same passion as him. People should learn to respect one another

[@kobebryant9783]

COME BACK KOBE PLEASE

[@Koolnamesaretaken]

You can hate kobe all you want but you have to admit that his work ethic is unparalleled and is one of the all time greats, plus he has some pretty good sound bites

[@puunjabirockstar]

the best kobe bryant video of all times hands down

[@ThePinoyMamba]

Kobe Is the closest thing to Jordan. Those two are the most competitive Player of all time! The true heart of a Champion ! Professionalism ! Talent showcase and for the love of the game! The inner Spirit is unparalleled! Just simply Amazing!

[@LiveLifeProgress]

Seen plenty of videos like this but this one brings tears.

[@TheHoopassassin]

Kobe's greatest season ever, definately deserved MVP...

[@LakeShowBarber]

kobe, the greatest, no questions asked?

[@LifeOfTLeyy]

The day Kobe retires, I think is the day I may not be able to watch the NBA the same way it is anymore. Don't take him for granted, be glad that you live in a generation to see such a great hardworking player pour his heart out for this game. LeBron is a great player no doubt about it. He can have however many MVP's he wants, but at the end of the day his dedication and mindset will never match Kobe's.

[@ascend2me]

whatever your fight is, whatever obstacle is in your path, whatever burden you carry...remember the mamba and FIGHT BACK.

[@TwoThreeForever]

~sigh~ exactly what you said man. Except the fact that Kobe is actually a top 15 player of all time. I have him at #12 as of today (May 20, 2013)

[@barretryan]

Man every time I see this these kobe mixes I get so inspired

[@ie03933]

KOBE IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!

What a sensational feeling I have right now......he's really a LEGEND...DAYUM....

[@vikasthangam]

U have always been 1 of the persons who have inspired me!!!!! The best sports person in the world! Wish you come back strong for the 6th !

[@vodka4680]

And people say lebron is better than this man.... Come on man lebron needs to be carried off with cramps, Kobe walks off after hitting two clutch free throws on a torn Achilles, Nuff said

[@ikeacaha4460]

Nuff said nothing idiot. Cramps completely shut your body down. You can't walk with cramps because the muscle has tightened. Like u literally cannot walk AT ALL. I've had these cramps. I needed my parents to carry me. These cramps are no fucking joke. These are not the same cramps u get when u run after u eat. They hurt so fucking much. Remember Jordan left a game with cramps once too

[@icekaguya8389]

ike acaha Kobe could probably walk with cramps

[@kj286]

lebron will never be kobe lebron looks up to kobe like a big brother put kobe with the cavs or with the heat so what kobe do

[@ikeacaha4460]

Mihcael Moreno michael jordan had to leave a game with cramps. Kobe is not superhuman. A cramp shuts down the muscle. Multiple athletes came to LeBrons defense, saying that anyone who thinks playing with cramps is something to be done, has clearly never played sports. You can't compare it with the Achilles injury, or the flu game. The flu game had nothing to do with mjs muscles. He was just feeling like total shit. LeBrons injury wad THE MUSCLE ITSELF, which regardless of what he tried to do, he couldn't play even if he tried to because it's simply not possible. So to say that kobe can play with cramps is totally idiotic. I cramped up in a game once and I was thinking, "People shat on lebron for not playing through this??" Come on man. These aren't the cramps you get when you run right after you eat.

[@rabu99]

ike acaha Kobe is still better than lebrawn

[@rjl91788]

Wow, one of the best videos I've ever seen on Kobe. Gave me chills multiple times. Great fucking work.

[@zerepkobe6817]

2 decades, and still the best

watching this just makes u want to work harder and give more respect to this man for how much he sacrafices over something he loves that much

[@tysonakamrsmooth]

I usually just hit the like button before a Kobe video because they are always awesome... but I waited til the end of this one because I couldn't look away, get well soon Kobe and give them hell.

[@muharremaydin8681]

JUST BECAUSE NOBODY DONE IT KOBE WILL COME BACK BETTER. this injury will be a great rest for kobe and when the Achilles cleared he will go hard and will be better than ever. it is gonna be managements job to put some pieces around him and give him at least one more chance at the title. i miss watching him already.

[@TehValor]

its sad that people wont realize the greatness of the mamba until he is gone

we will missing u when u retired kobe for life and the best n greatest player after MJ
