- Pau Gasol talks about whether or not he ever saw Kobe Bryant take an off day as a member of The Los Angeles Lakers.
Subscribe to The Old Man and The Three podcast w/ JJ Redick (ESPN) and Tommy Alter TH-cam channel today.
I can see Pau still doesn't want to talk about Kobe Bryant. It looks like it hurts him.
We stan Uncle Pau
I was already heartbroken when he dropped the mic in 2016 and said Mamba out. But man, that 2020 accident was the final nail. I'm just glad his legendary character is still being talked about.
Shut up
Your heart is broken just like a helicopter breaks during a high speed collision
Yeah dude I’m still fucked up about his passing. Such a legendary human being
@@traycannon5793 he isn't dead. It's a hoax
@@DarthBane-zf8wv 🙄😂😂😂😂 what a comparison!
No lie because of Kobe we seen the best version of pau gasol
Thanks Pau, can’t wait till they retire your jersey @ “Staples” continue spreading Kobe legacy 🙏🏿
While it's impressive Kobe can behave like that... it's also important to note that most people are not like that and people shouldn't force themselves to be like Kobe. You can try to be like him, but if it leads to constant burnout and is not producing good results... You need to stop imitating Kobe. While you can test out other people's approach, eventually it's you choosing what actually works for you through trial and error, instead of choosing what works for you by pure-thinking while ignoring results.
Nah.... Be like Kobe.
Sounds like something a quitter would say
@@dangerzone9747 Easy to say it like you, but you def don't work half as hard as Kobe so loll
@@dangerzone9747 absolutely wrong. There is a famous story about Phil Jackson saying specifically this to Kobe, and his lowering of standards for his teammates helped them to get to the 3 Finals.
But maybe I'm a quitter. Would you be prepared to do 10 odd hours of basketball every day, year after year? Almost certainly not.
@@kb5509 And tens of millions of dollars doing what I love and your only goal is to be the best? Certainly would. Some people do that for free. That story is also complete nonsense. That had nothing to do with 3 finals, a bunch of bs used to create a story. Go look at what the best players workout routine is.
I remember that one game vs Atlanta, I think he was 3/19, but he still ended up hitting a game winning 3 and they won lol.
Kobe wins ball games & championships no matter how.
I remember that too!
He also did this against the Hornets back in 2012, he was 3/21 for the whole agame, one of which was a game winning three. Made his first field goal in the middle of the fourth quarter. Goes to show his ability to take over games despite struggling to convert his shots throughout the game.
and why did he have to hit a game winner? because he was shooting the lakers out of the gym.
let's also remember all the ones he shot 30% from the field and bricked the game winning shot.
@@lancetan2280 that's literally not what "taking over a game" means
@@SuckOnYakuzA Curry is best 3pt ever but he bricked few shots made circus shots all year Love stop him for Finals win put him MJ & Kobe realm. Some players live for moment Kobe gets foul or does a play to win.
Thanks JJ, this interview is very important, a lot of key history about Kobe is in Pau Gasol.
Pau is a Laker legend to me, always a class act and one of Kobe’s favorite teammates. Gracias por todo Pau!
When he imitated the look kobe would give him to see if hes ready gave me hella flashbacks of them in the finals. Thats the exact look hed always give 😂😂 RIP MAMBA
Time stamp?
@Gibran Camus thank you!! I definitely see it now
Pau nailed it 🤣
Pau and Kobe complemented each other so well.
I never admired anyone more than Kobe Bryant, I still don't understand how he held his body together with minimal rest, no sleep and at least 10 hours of training everyday. How is that possible? I truly can't imagine the amount of will power this man has, I always went 110% every workout I did and I was truly done after it, how can you go 110% all day every day with no rest?
His unbelievable will power and dedication to the sport is what him the GOAT for me
Man those play by plays kobe did on ESPN where everything. RIP GOAT🙏🙏
What did that Helicopter ever do wrong 😢
It would've been amazing to have Kobe on this podcast...
The Lakers should be retiring Pau's jersey ASAP as Kobe has said. I don't know what is taking them so long.
Not surprising that is taking so long with one of the dumbest management in the NBA. Without speaking how unrespectful they are for the Lakers history.
The problem is that they’re one of the few franchises that risks having too many numbers retired, if you extrapolate forward to factor in all the great players they’ll have in the next 100+ years. Do you think they should retire LeBron’s or Derek Fisher’s numbers?
He speaks good English and understands the colloquialisms.
there are like a million of these clips where the co-host just nods and scratches his beard and says nothing lol
It speaks to the shadow of Kobe's legend. Here is one of the all-time great players (Pau), who was coached by the greatest coach of all time, and what do people want to know about? ... A teammate of his. RIP Kobe.
RIP KOBE 🙏🙏🙏
For a player who was known to be a borderline competitor psycho I never saw him disrespecting Pau and he even considered him a friend, yet, LA always called Pau soft and to a certain level a scapegoat sometimes
That's cause Pau delivers when it matters despite being a bit soft.
The media called pau soft not la. La loves pau
Even in death Kobe is still the biggest star on the brightest stage. Respect.
Pau's mentality was actually the better mentality - rest before the start of the season to avoid burnout. I mean him and Kobe just played in the Olympics.
@@user-zi1rd2tu9m I agree. Great point. I guess Pau's mentality is the common approach. Kobe is just different.
The big difference between Pau and Shaq is that Pau had the right personality to mesh with Kobe. Shaq and Kobe were too different, each one offering something great to the Lakers, but ultimately personalities at odds. Kobe and Pau were true brothers.
Kobe pushed people to be the best they can be! He didn't always have this until he was on his own but somewhere around 06/07 u really saw it and moving forward!
Kobe would do anything to Win! Get to practice before anybody,would be the last one to leave and always worked on his game in the off season... I remember when the Lakers got Dwight, he was still in his Prime. Kobe called him so they can work on building a Championship team. But Dwight said no and that he’s on vacation. He wouldn’t even practice unless it was team mandatory. That’s why Kobe hates him when he was on the team. It’s about Championships! But not everybody is a Winner. That was the “Mamba” mentality. R.I.P. Black Mamba. 🙏
Pau was a great player! Not only in the NBA but also internationally. Those Spanish teams were whipping team USA 😂 but his only flaw, as Kobe said... he’s SOFT!
He had that mj mindset. You gave 100% at every practice and every game
Cuz he's a copycat
@@scarykurapika100yago2 nothing wring with modeling his game after the best to play
@@scarykurapika100yago2 you think Jordan created hard work?
Kobe had a off shooting night in 2010 game 7 against Boston and still found a way to Win that game 🔥🔥🔥🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
But Pau and the Lakers defense had something to do w/ that too. Pau took 8 less shots but only scored 4 less points. He also got 18 rebounds. The Celtics only shot 40.8% from the field also which isn't bc of Kobe.
I never said it was his fault
I think you meant to say "Gasol carried" instead of "found a way"
Not at all
@@kawaiiafangirl Kobe was also playing great defense so he’s part of the reason they was shooting bad. And yes Pau showed up game 7 but that entire series Kobe was carrying them and that game 7 he contributed every other way including 15 rebounds.
I’m watching the beginning ads but I already know the answer
NO! NEVER!
I would expect nothing less from all the players on my team that are making millions and I also them to expect it outta of me and all the staff I employ , and I hold the highest paid to instill this while giving them the leeway to get rid of those who do not.
Wow crazy
Ill take prime pau over prime ad anytime if I want to win a championship.
Kobe is easily top 5-7 most influential athletes who ever lived. 🙏🙏🙏
Did Kobe’s mindset of always being on and never taking breaks eventually lead to the tear of his Achilles
Injuries in Kobe's team led the lakers to be almost out of the playoffs towards the end of the 2012/13 season.
He decided to carry all the load in the final span of the season and he averages 28.9 points, 8.4 assists, 7.3 rebounds, 2.1 steals and a block in 45.6 minutes in the final 8 games before getting injured.
The Lakers reached the playoffs.
Kobe > Lebron
Kobe wasn’t perfect but he left helluva an example.
Kobe has had plenty of off days
Have shai on the podcast
in NBA kobe is a rarity, you go to European football, this is not as rare, Cristiano is even more extreme, his diet is plain chicken and water. you look at Kobe's body, he doesn't put in the same amount of depravity and restriction, I dont want to hear about lebron or Jordan either, American athletes openly drink wine, alcohol, eating fast foods as part of their weekly diet, football stopped doing that since 2000s, if you have a night out people will crucify you. NBA is very lax in professionalism and standard. dont come at me that Kobe is the most driven, he's factually not.
Black Man is God
Have pokusevski on the podcsst
We all saw the 2004 finals he was way off.
Pau is being politically correct…give it to me raw 😑…i miss Kobe
Pau saved Kobe in both of their Finals wins. Kobe was shooting them out of the game playing selfish basketball trying to win MVP.
How he saved him ? Kobe was playing way better than pau and he never saved Kobe and who got a better final performance is Kobe in both final pau play great but he ain’t no superstar if anything Kobe saved pau he was two broken finger in the 2010 final average the most points and he grabbed 15 rebounds and playing the best defense if Kobe didn’t play that final because of his fingers the lakers would’ve been swept
@@dbz4735 ah, you think because someone scored more points that determines if they played better? In both finals they won Pau had the higher shooting percentage, higher true shooting percentage, higher +/- and generally speaking all advance metrics point to Pau being the best player in those finals. Pau in 2009 alone was shooting 60% from the floor in those finals, way more efficient than Kobe. Either your eyes don’t work, or your just a Stan. No matter how you slice it Pau saved Kobe in 09 & 10.
kobe had LOTS of off days.
“The extra pass or the right play may not be necessary all the time” take notes Lebron…
Aw poor JJ got bullied so bad he almost quit baskeball. Lmao! What sissy.
He was garbage his last few seasons. Below replacement level.
Quick reminder that Kobe was just copying and imitating MJ.
Quick reminder if you think that you are a casual who only watches highlights of games and uses “game knowledge” only disc used on Undisputed
@@TheEPICOSITY143 that sentence doesn't make any sense, but OK
greats learn from greats and take it further...he added a crossover and a 3 point shot...plus he elevated the footwork even more
@@TheEPICOSITY143 let's see your top 5 and we'll see who's the casual here.
@@lopsii902 sure, I agree. But it's much more difficult to come up with something than to copy it.
Also, crossover would have been palming the basketball by 90s rules. So it wasn't even possible to do these exegerated moves. Basketball has been dumbed down a lot since MJ.
Most misses in NBA History, i would say he had plenty of off days lmaao
Better playoff record than your boy LeBron
These Kobe stories are great. Really shows you the mindset Kobe was in at all times!
Like his mindset of taking advantage of females and paying out settlements?
"He helped me get better and get my game to another level."-Pau Gasol. Proof Kobe made his teammates better and wasn't just a leader, but a leader that lifted teammates' game (without compliments and being friends).
Eventually.
Kobe has very similar mentality compared to MJ. He expected everyone to be at their best because he's giving his all.
@@LarvaS-hj1eq damn son 😂
@@LarvaS-hj1eq whoooooooooa dude
"He expects you to do you best, he expects you to take it seriously as it takes."
Damn, how we missed him so much.
@Kota Lz you had barely any to begin with. English isnt everyones first language🤡🤡🤡
@@LarvaS-hj1eq Oh look we got a little hater here.
Say what you want but this turned out to be the perfect game displaying his leadership because In game 7 of that 2010 finals, that was one of the more physical games Ive seen. You had to be physically and mentally strong and ironically it was his teammates that came through for him.
Kobe tried so hard to win the series he saved them in game six with that blowout win but he was tired he was worn out and although he was great a rebounding in defending in that game seven I won’t admit he was bad.
Yes somehow everybody elevated the plate for him that was really heartwarming
Ppl forget Kobe was hurt and played hurt through it all
@@randomperson2540 yeah and since he instilled that heart and toughness in them as a leader it was nice to see them lift him up at the end. It was like the ultimate payoff since that was the kind of game he prepared them for
No one mentions how hard he worked on the boards, defending and doing the little things that game since he couldn't get buckets like how he wanted to, pre sure he was either the leader in rebounds on the Lakers or only behind Pau.
He prepare them right for this moment by being Tuff on them and keep them accountable
man I miss watching Kobe play and later on seeing him pop up all over the world.. legend
Im more of a bron fan and i really agree misses him play and also watching him do some interview especially after his retirement, his insight not only in basketball but also in life was indpiring .
No. Kobe wasn't good enough..
@@airkuna good cry for attention
@@MrLetsgetmad he's been trolling around the comment section. the way he's trolling around his mommy's basement
@@Rorschach771 indeed
Pau Gasol is the greatest Llama in basketball history, hands down.
I miss the duels between kg and pau during that 2007-2011 years
What happened in 2012
@@sorinn7894 nothing happened it.
@@John-jm4nv nah i mean, didn’t the play against each other
Kg bullied him a lot and ima laker fan.. Kobe really helped pau alot
@@davidruffin1823 k
Kobe is the type of man to lead his army into battle from the front. When a team sees a strong leader that is willing to give everything for them, it sets a wonderful example for everyone else. You don't win 5 championships being "selfish"
Kobe knows from a young age that there are no days off. Days off means someone else is catching up!
but also, remember the seventh day to keep it holy
@@nmarbletoe8210 Yeah keep it holy and still put your work in you can pray and go right back to work
@@I.Need.Everything 🤡
@@DarthBane-zf8wv What did I say that makes me a clown? Because I said you can pray and still work🤣
POTENT Kobe lol
Pau needs FAR more credit for those 2 chips.
That was the peak PF era tho. I always loved Pau's game
We didn’t lose a basketball player when Kobe died, we lost a role model, a great dad, an overall great human being and the picture perfect image of effort equals success. I’m an truly disappointed my daughter has to grow up in a post Kobe world.
When is paus jersey retirement?
He's still playing!!
@@airkuna nah I think he retired last year from the Euro League too.
@@XxLeoRiversxX he played in the euro league last year?
@@airkuna no he isnt lol
@@K-Dot94 but did he play last year in Europe?
The Mamba's one weakness: the ability to shut it down and recoup. We he went down, it was like pieces of him just broke down one after the other. Some anime analogy: Kobe's last real season, where he tore his Achilles, he had Kaioken activated for the entire season. And like king kai said it would, his body ripped itself apart. A person just can't be on like that all the time.
But maaaaaaaaaaan that season was AWESOME! I've never seen a player just will a squad into the playoffs like that.
He was in kaio Ken his whole career haha
But that weakness was the reason he was the best
0:40 Is Why Kobe is a Better Leader than Lebron.. Kobe did Empower his Teammates that’s why he told Lebron “ Leadership is more than just passing the ball” I Know this Not about Kobe but Pau proved my Point
Facts
LeBron doesnt even pass the ball really. He monopolizes it until the he passes it specifically to take credit for the assist. He doesn't allow his teammates to play angles, to get touches, to be involved in playmaking, etc. Makes guys less involved, less effective, and also less likely to remain able to make high pressure shots at the end of games. Swing passes is what made GSW and SAS great. Really allowed for the open man to get the best shot and also created opportunities. And also got guys touches while tiring out the defense.
Lebron plays like NBA2K. Very one-dimensional and talented, but not winning basketball at the highest level.
Were you on any of Lebron’s teams? Were you in the locker rooms or at practice? Stop it lol…
@@nothingtoseehere96 you'l can't criticise him for both not passing and not letting others playmake. Pick one.
Not "winning basketball"? He's won how many, and got to how many finals?
And in a video about Kobe, no less. Who was famous for loving to give his teammates touches, and not widely held to be the most ball hog, hero ball of his era, and up there with the highest of all time.
@@nothingtoseehere96 You just described Russell Westbrook, not the guy who won the 2016 championship or led his team to the finals 10 times. This is why y’all are shocked Lebron’s game is still elite and Westbrook’s already isn’t.
Kobe was a great legend. But I feel as though there wouldn't be a Kobe Bryant if there was no Michael Jordan. He showed what it takes to win & become a competitive athlete. In and outside the court
Kobe literally had one of the top work ethics in the entire world. Unbelievable energy that never stopped. Truly an inspiring dude
I always saw Kobe Bryant be on it every game and that's the reason he was my favorite player as a kid.
He’s my favorite helicopter owner
@@DarthBane-zf8wv This is the season of karma
@@BigBen1994 What happened to Kobe was karma💁♂️
@@DarthBane-zf8wv I really hope you're not referring to the Colorado case
when Pau did an impression of Kobe "You ready? Let's go?", Pau's eye looked like Kobes. Always great to see former teammates share unheard stories of Kobe. Stories like these help us remind who Kobe was and the significant impact he made in/out of NBA
We Need An Andrew Bynum Interview! Haven’t Heard From Dude In A Min & He Held It Down In Shaqs Absence, Hope He’s Doing Good After Kobe’s Passing
Hopefully Andrew Bynum isnt bowling anymore..
Hearing people talk about Kobe’s life in the past tense still hurts me
We stan Uncle Pau
Pau, Kobe, Lamar, Derek, Sasha, Trevor, Luke, DJ, Shannon, Andrew. Man, that team was special
pau, kobe, howard. back to the basket!
Jordan farmar, Ron Artest
Funny thing is when they left to other teams they all face planted.
RIP KOBE!
2010 finals game 7. Didnt really play great in that series in general.
The only thing I will say, is that people really didn’t give him his do when Kobe was here! For example, Kobe in my eyes is the closest thing to MJ, but people always had the narrative to compare LJ to MJ. LJ is still writing his story, Kobe was in the game for 20 years💯💯💯
The greatest players demand a level of commitment that is very difficult for most people to get to and it can easily rub people the wrong way when they keep demanding from you what you simply do not have. That is the price of being the best at what you do.
Respect that gasol played that 1 on 1 even tho he didn't want to
Kobe stories will never get old
Pau was a beast in that boston series especially in game 7 against the Celtics. Kobe pushed the team to 3-3 but Pau finished it for them. No one ever called Pau soft after that game. Dude was playing possessed.
Crazy how the mamba mentality is felt through the mouth of others every time people spoke about Kobe stories! Missing you KOB ! 🤍
In all honestly, I find the less flattering stories about Kobe to be more interesting and it make him more human. Jeremy Lin and Matt Barnes provided some interesting insights.
@@kobedoe3120 what unflattering stories from Matt Barnes? He always goes out of his way to praise Kobe at every opportunity.
I would’ve wanted to see him or at least read in the news how he badmouths this year’s Lakers.
I thought game 7 against the Celtics was pretty poor all round offensively for both teams (Ray Allen, Kobe, etc) but that was because it was the greatest defensive final of all time = it was insane!
JJ we saw the post noti about getting emotional with Embiid as MVP. We wanna see it!
It sure looked like Kobe expected others to be at HIS best based on HIS way and the way HE thought it should be done. That is as much of an unhealthy addiction as any other addiction. It's no wonder he had soooo many injuries since his body was screaming at him energetically! Physical injuries don't just "happen" from obvious physical reasons. The energy and emotions come FIRST that weaken the body energy and then people are susceptible to injury! Phil Jackson tried to teach both Kobe and Michael about energetic balance at some level. That's why he also has 11 rings!!!
Loving the episodes lately JJ!
Everyone knows Kobe is still alive
Bean Man was better than Bron.. And just under Mike... Kobe is a 🐐...

Its time to get right with Jesus. nobody is automatically gonna go to heaven at the end of it, we all have lied or stolen or had sex before marriage and the punishment is hell. Jesus died so you can get a clean slate and forgiveness of future sins if you repent of them if you commit them, so you receive the gift of forgiveness by following him. When you start you have to stop sinning willfully, and follow his word and obey it, strive to do those things. That’s following the Lord Jesus. Read the Bible and find wisdom
I love Kobe as a player and had a tremendous work ethic, but I dont like this Kobe worship, he had great qualities but also some not so good qualities. I can remember he told smush parker you arent even allowed to talk to me because you dont have the credentials, which is the type of narcissism and ego I cant stand.
Certain guys were more in line with ancient warrior monks rather than modern day laborers in the entertainment industry where their reverence for the game and playing it at a high level bordered on religious. Abstaining from certain foods and activities in service of your craft is another level of commitment.
To bad players like Kobe and Jordan were not as smart or had power like Bron. They had to squeeze the best out of what players they had. Easier to bring in a couple of ready made primary scorers from other teams.
