Hope you enjoy, Kobe is one of the athletes I connected most with as a kid. He grew up in front of our eyes, and so making this newer version was a must for me. This (like the MJ doc I released last month) is a new version of one of my older, most successful videos. It uses some clips from the previous one, but is mostly new, new sounds, new music, new commentary ( I didn't even do VO on the previous one), and more. Thanks for watching!

I was at that game when Kobe dunked on Steve Nash. I grew up in Phoenix and still live here. My brother and I have had season tickets since 2005 and we have been to a lot of games. It was always the Lakers and the Spurs that always beat us in the playoffs. It was always “BEAT LA” or “Beat the Spurs”. During the mid 2000’s it was either the Lakers and the Spurs who ended up winning the championship. I was also at 2 of the 1993 NBA finals when the Bulls beat us and I got to see MJ play live. Those were incredible games and it’s a great memory that I will never forget. I lived in LA from 1997-2005 and I got to see the Lakers 3-Peat and went to a few of those finals as well. MJ and Kobe are my GOATS. MJ will always be my number one but Kobe is right behind him. We all miss Kobe and he will never be forgotten. RIP TO ALL THAT DIED THAT TRAGIC DAY IN CALABASAS.
