If you ever played ball seriously, you'd know how insane and great Kobe was. A 6'6 shooting guard who dominated the NBA for a decade during the golden era of wings, bigs and physical tough basketball. There were so many legends during his era of dominance whom also became my favorite players and their teams as well. NBA was so much fun and exciting during the 2000s. During this time, Kobe was the best player and shared success with Shaq and Duncan. These 3 are three of my top 5 players, outside of MJ and Lebron. To have this level of competition and come out on top, going to 7 finals and winning 5. Doing it without Shaq to shut everyone up, and beat the first legit 4 superstar super team in 2010 against Celtics, Kobe did it all as a player and as a general sportsman period. He put on a show every night with creative buckets as if he is creating new moves on the spot due to his mastery of the game. His game inspired millions to learn to swish the ball and do acrobatic reverse layups. Or doing his pump fake fade away jumpers. Kobe showed his love for basketball to the world and many were inspired by his dedication and his complex story. When it comes to his story, Kobe was an inspiration and a symbol of determination. Overcoming his odds, Kobe had standard physical attributes but elevated his game to his utmost potential. He practiced the same shot at the exact same spot for hours and hours, adding to his repertoire everyday, to a point where he can impose his will on the flow of the game. If you played basketball as a sport, watching Kobe score and dominate the way that he does, intrigued me. KG described him best, facing Kobe is like facing a grizzly bear. What do we know about grizz? Well they will jump on you, eat you while you are alive, there is nothing you can do about it. Kobe is like this in the basketball sense when he is in his flow state. He becomes a madman shooting whatever the defense gives him, and would do it in a successful fashion at the highest level. His game is so complete that he can use the 4th quarter to win games. Kobe's average efficiency is due to his extreme self confidence, believing that he is the god slayer and he must continue to swing. He is just unrelenting. His winning story, his adversity, his style, his swagger, his confidence, his assassin like mentality of kill or be killed, his nerve to take shots that no one else would dare to take but does it anyway, his showing of love/care for the fans, his showing of deepest respect to the legends of the game, made many of us his biggest fan.
Hey Draymond can you make a video, giving advice to the indiana fever, a young team with no playoff experience looking to go for it all. Advice on mindset of being a superstar in your role, what sacrifice means, and just overall what they can expect in their first playoffs especially with a young superstar coming into their own.
all throughout my grade school years, every time you threw a piece a paper in the trash, you'd crunch it to a ball and yell "KOBE!" i'm not sure if that still a thing or if kids say another players name while shooting it
Ron Artest and Matt Barnes used to battle against, fight against and hate Kobe. Once they joined lakers, they became one of his biggest fans. Why? Definitely affected by his work ethnic. Actions speak louder than anybody always claiming himself as the goat
PG- Coach Generals/System Creators SG- #1 Option, PinDowny, MJ SF- #2 Option 1-5 PF- Dennis/Dirk, Shoots the left over shots gets the hardest rebounds. Tim Duncan C- Center of attention/ Gravitational Pull unless your 5-0ut Curry.
👀 Shane said it best, there’s only one KOBE B BRYANT 🧐 “ The killer, basketball GENIUS “ his mindset was different “ He’s the only one who could play against MJ on a 1 on 1 & actually beat him🧐🥴 & MJ knew it & admitted it🧐🥴 “ Like KOBE said it “ YOU CANNOT GUARD “🥴 Missing him in every way 🥰 🙏🏾Ms.Fredi ☮️🌻
Kareem is #33 in a 3-2 set he’s Attention and was just as good shooter as SF. Just like Bird #33 a SF playing in a 2-3 shooting 3s like Danny Angie & Left over shots like Mchale. i think Jersey #’s matters in the heart
Nurkic and Poole own real estate in your head. As successful as you are, most fans would think you would be more composed, in those pressure situations. You are not coaching or reffing material.
Shag says he is not a great free throw shooter......come on...he is not close to good....actually i believe he might be the only professional basketball player whose free throw is worse than me......yes He is the most dominant one....but the way he tells his story is sth .....he praise others to praise himself all the time
Lebron as a PF could have been Lamar Odom 2.0 he’s really James Worthy #42, Just like Kobe #24’ 07-10 he was playing SF taking notes from how Slow Bird Kobe knew the 5-out wasn’t good for the health. so he copied 86’ Celtics and started flipping the 🔺 2-3.🔥 Bron didn’t respect the system he didn’t mind the game he’s not Magic he needs a Magic SF who likes to stand where the 2G is. Dray you played a 1 for the guys you was really a #41. KD #35 he a 3 or a 5. the system Curry and y’all PG coaches built. is a 3-2 🔺 that turns 5 out when Curry gets trapped. 3-2 Motion Bulls, with Mike 1-4 option The 3-2/4-1 02 lakers with Kobe 1-4 stacked option, are comp And Spurs hidden 3-2/4-1 inspired yall . You made a 3-2 / 5 out. Steph Curry is a SG built like a one Klay made SF’s look like 2Gs and Bron & KD couldn’t play there position 4 & 5. “Denver” is who everyone wants to copy 4-1 5-0ut. ⬅️ This comment is a good one.
MJ was the soul collector. There's the bone collector, the slim reaper,... but MJ beat you and took your soul. That's why most people think that Kobe is so good because people were afraid of seeing what MJ could do to grown men. No one was scared of Kobe. Kobe probably won a few because people felt bad for him. No one was feeling bad for MJ and letting him win because they were competing for the big paydays and being compared to MJ or they wouldn't get paid and couldn't hide behind the race card. Players back then also had pride as a top motivator and weren't becoming basketball players as a smart financial investment just because they are tall. Which was popularized by seeing Tim Duncan become a champion carried by a system. Which is also the fun part about The Triangle and Phil Jackson. The players carried the system. Kobe was playing a bunch of Tim Duncan's and undersized guards trying to prove they could beat science a few times. Until he had to face The Celtics Paul Pierce, KG, Ray Allen, Eddie House... ie basketball players. Kobe also needed star studded lineups. MJ went grassroots where it was a Big 2: MJ and Pippen.
@@HoopReactor and what exactly is your point after you made the most nonsensical argument ever? Kobe won a few chips because players felt sorry for him? Nobody feared Kobe? You’re saying Duncan is a scrub? You realize Kobe beat the most 50 win playoff teams in NBA history. He played against the toughest defensive era ever. Played through injuries.
he is relentless in scoring over his defenders, and forgetting he has teammates, cost the lakers and shaq a chip in 2004, but because he died so he’s appreciated now
He’s appreciated for being a 5 time champion. 12 time all defensive team. The most of any guard in nba history. The last player to win a championship being the best offensive and defensive player
@@marksines1246 you just know facts huh ? If you did youd say Shaq could also be the reason they lost that chip. They both led the team in scoring twice they just weren’t doing good at the same time. Bad communication but for you to try to diminish his legacy like that is just ridiculous. Nice try tho
Long Live the Legend Kobe Bean Bryant🙏🏾💜💛

kobeee 🫡
As a lifelong Laker and Kobe fan, 24. It was special to see him turn into the teammate that he became. The leader he became. He was great.
R.I.P. 8/24
respect for dropping this
💯🫡
Nah that cast was gone be legendary fr
RIP to one of the GOATS
The most underrated ever
I don't think Kobe was underrated. He was one of the greatest of all time.
@@user-ji4bl4xs3r he’s easily top 3 but people tend to discredit him
Respect dray 🫡

Still Kobe mostly but a lil Curry in there sometimes
I shout ben simmons
I have a 11 year old sister. She said kids are still saying Kobe 💯 sometimes Curry too 😅
SALUTE DRAYMOND FOR THIS ONE BRUH
I wanna hoop with Draymond🤘
Finally not holding the mic like a rapper, good shizzy
Awesome

#8 Frobe was different.
PG- Coach Generals/System Creators
SG- #1 Option, PinDowny, MJ
SF- #2 Option 1-5
PF- Dennis/Dirk, Shoots the left over shots gets the hardest rebounds. Tim Duncan
C- Center of attention/ Gravitational Pull unless your 5-0ut Curry.
4💍’s in a 5-0ut he became #30
4💍’s in a 5-0ut he became #30
Bro we gotta talk about it! No need to say what 😂😂

It makes me sad that Shane and Kobe never got to have proper closure
Kobe bean Bryant

Hey @draymondshow is 30 gunna carry you your whole career?
Kareem is #33 in a 3-2 set he’s Attention and was just as good shooter as SF. Just like Bird #33 a SF playing in a 2-3 shooting 3s like Danny Angie & Left over shots like Mchale. i think Jersey #’s matters in the heart
Magic was built like a 3 played like a PF and They let him make a system as 1 every one else ran like 2Gs except Kareem. including Magic #32
I keep coming back Dray you remember Jordan played PG had like 38-10-12 and wore #12 he was the 1 and the 2G it was no lies told before 2000s
Nurkic and Poole own real estate in your head. As successful as you are, most fans would think you would be more composed, in those pressure situations. You are not coaching or reffing material.
Lisa a G lol 😤
Is BD telling a Kobe story or A Jeremy Lin story ? Sounds like the latter
DRAYMOND GREEN you were in a p diddy party
I feel like Man Man was the closest to Jordan besides kobe in my eye experience which Is Day Day brother...
Shag says he is not a great free throw shooter......come on...he is not close to good....actually i believe he might be the only professional basketball player whose free throw is worse than me......yes He is the most dominant one....but the way he tells his story is sth .....he praise others to praise himself all the time

Dray you played a 1 for the guys you was really a #41.
KD #35 he a 3 or a 5. the system Curry and y’all PG coaches built. is a 3-2 🔺 that turns 5 out when Curry gets trapped.
3-2 Motion Bulls, with Mike 1-4 option
The 3-2/4-1 02 lakers with Kobe 1-4 stacked option, are comp
And Spurs hidden 3-2/4-1 inspired yall . You made a 3-2 / 5 out.
Steph Curry is a SG built like a one Klay made SF’s look like 2Gs and Bron & KD couldn’t play there position 4 & 5. “Denver” is who everyone wants to copy 4-1 5-0ut. ⬅️ This comment is a good one.
I love his dirty play
I love Shaq but the way he takes credit for Kobe rubs me the wrong way and I’m not even a Kobe fan like that.
