Kobe Bryant vs NYC Gangster, Balling At Rucker Park, Guarding Allen Iverson & Watching Jordan Tape

Kobe Bryant refused to back down from a gangster, balled out at Rucker Park, guarded 10 shifty New York City guards at once to prepare for Allen Iverson & only watched Michael Jordan videos while staying at Steve Stoute’s house at 18 years old:
“Kobe comes outside and sees the gun. I’m like, ‘Go back in.’ He goes, ‘I’m not going nowhere.’ He did this on 23rd and 9th Avenue, he did that at 18.”

Kobe graduated from the highest income zip code in PA but still was humble and avoided the pitfalls that often times come with fame.

[@reginaldroundtree1325]

Having a strong father helped tremendously

[@99alfailiwaqain51]

Peace To The Gods!!! Yes I used to live in Philly for a short while. That zip is Montgomery County. However, West Philly is literally only 2 blocks away. That’s it. West Philly is notorious for street shenanigans. North Philly is the worst and most vicious though. So even though Kobe lived in Lower Merion, all he had to do is walk like 2-3 blocks over to West Philly.

What are you talking about he had a family and was doing other big things after retirement that's why they had to assassinate him

[@sickamorestylz]

@@Daniel-we2jjI’m reading his comment and thinking the same thing but wondering should I say it. First time I’ve come across someone that think “they” killed him too. The pilot couldn’t have been that incompetent!!

[@andrewanderson7912]

@Daniel-we2jj Yes he did have a family and no conspiracy theory here. Never have and still don't believe "they killed him" that's a bit ridiculous. I was simply saying he had a level of focus, discipline and desire that was extremely rare for anyone, world class athlete or not. That allowed him to accomplish so much that most will not ever be able to do in such a short time. It's not up to us how long we are above ground despite family, projects, accomplishments ect. He passed supporting his daughter and while supporting his sports academy.

[@ojames1983]

Kobe did NOT accomplish everything he was put on earth to do. That’s a backwards coping mechanism thing to say because dude had another 30-40 years to raise his children, be with his wife and loved ones, as well as keep leaving his mark on the world.

That last piece about athletes from single family households and dual family households needs its own conversation. I would like to hear more on that.

[@pjetrs]

Hearing stories like this confirm why I love Kobe so much. Don't get me wrong, he was extremely talented physically and as a basketball player, but somehow I got the feeling that he is one of the very few athletes that truly got 100% out of their potential. And that will always impress me more than someone who is just naturally gifted and coasts on their talent.

That last part was WOW about 2 parent household vs single parent household.. RIP KOBE

[@QuestionEverything562]

For Kobe at that age to be thinking about that.... that's unique and very accelerated thinking. Growing up in a two parent household gives one an advantage over a single mother household child. The calming masculinity that a solid father brings into a house creates order and logic. That cannot be duplicated by a single mother. And we see that in LeBron James.
