I watched almost every game Kobe ever played. He was misunderstood. Once you realize he loved and respected the game of basketball above all else, a lot of his demeanor begins to make sense. If you had a passion for the game and was willing to put in work to reach your full potential, you were his tribe. To Kobe, not playing hard was disrespectful to the game. Teammate or opponent, if you gave it your all he respected you as a competitor. If you were lazy he didn't have time for you. Laser focus. Either give your best or gtfo. No in between.

Steph could have played in any era of the NBA and done just as well as is does now, his speed and outside shooting ability are second to no one who has played the game. His game isnt a muscular physical game but his speed and ability to score outside anywhere on the court is unmatched at any era.

The Black Mamba had enough and was clearly out of position but decided on court he was going to test this kid, and he continued to do it until Curry was rested for the night. Love it!

[@laivilla6143]

Oh my amazing steph😍👏👏👏

[@OnlyDuckSauce]

Curry with the push off tho lol

[@brianbanks8570]

Physical play bruh!!!!!

[@brianbanks8570]

That’s what happens when you try to play that style with him!

[@ramen6175]

Um most good players do that😂when the game gets aggressive. If that was the case hed still be doin it now .

I was never a Kobe fan but I did respect him. He was all business.

[@AssociateMinisterReserveDeacon]

Stephen Curry is so cold he makes The Continent of Antarctica feel🔥!!!

[@kathleenhawkins7918]

❄🌬🌌😅...Good one....👍🏽

[@scoot8792]

He didn't try to bully him. He was testing him and found out curry is real. He respects that (kobe fan here)

[@AGHathaway]

Steph will average over 30 points a game in 2023. He will win another finals MVP and another regular season MVP and the Warriors will win another championship. He is the GOAT.

[@idekanymore0721]

A bit ahead of yourself there. I doubt he’ll do any of that, but he will certainly still be pretty good. Little bit outlandish of you to say that he is the goat though, since he definitely is not. He’s a HoF for sure, but nowhere close to the GOAT. One of the most talented shooters but not a GOAT.

[@uptowndunk4416]

Kobe’s defense is so underrated

[@TypingTerror]

Thank you for that game play so I appreciate it because i love basketball

[@djmrphantastikmusic]

Baby faced Steph was a straight up assassin. Kobe was like aight young fella, you got that. Lol RIP KOBE BEAN🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@drewski103]

Fake ass smile from Kobe, he got humbled quick!!

[@ramen6175]

Yeh no .

[@nekeshajoseph8794]

Cant believe Kobe played alongside Curry.

[@DeshawnJahbril]

like when Jordan "played alongside" Iverson.

[@cursin]

The sound is so satisfying when it goes in

[@cubasbeatproducer2374]

There's a certain zone that you can get into every once in awhile whenever being creative or exercising your talent. I know the feeling from me playing ball or making beats sometimes . That's the zone Kobe was talking about and nsteph is in it a lot
