@@NikosKobe24 when you go look for a job, they're not going to say " let's see how you did in your exam" then look and say "it says here you failed your exam so we can't hire you ". those exams don't really show how smart you are.
Chris Hansen I agree but still the effort that you make or don’t make matter .. because it defines who you are in reality and whether you pass or not the s a matter of personal accomplishment!
Anytime I feel sad, depressed or pissed off - I watch this video. I think of how well Kobe and the Lakers performed, but unfortunately came short. Despite that, he took the loss to come back stronger and better than ever and win back to back in 2009 and 2010. This video, is what makes Kobe, Kobe.
Kobe handled that like a true educated professional. No attitude with the reporter, no aggressive crazy comeback comments or nothing like that. Kobe was great in many other ways other than just playing on the basketball court. And you can compare today's player/reaction to the press and compare their average game interview to an interview like this. After getting blown out by almost 40 pts to lose the NBA finals. You the goat Kobe!
"There's a lot of guys who make it here and never come back..." We know Kobe made it back, repeated, and even got his revenge against the Celtics. But when we look at this quote in its context, without the knowledge of his two other rings, it's heavy. After 3-peating, then going through a Finals Drought (missed the playoffs, back-to-back first round exits by PHO - including blowing a 3-1 lead), then winning an MVP while finally making it back and getting a chance to say he did it without Shaq, just to fall short to the Celtics in a 39 pt. loss. Kobe knew he missed a chance at a ring and it burns him. The little doubt that Kobe may never make it back existed somewhere. I'm sure he wanted to be back and needed to be back, but he had to overcome that.
No blaming the refs, or replay center, just accountability and work. Went straight into the Olympics and 4am workouts. Even ran over his own teammate to remind him to be tougher for the championship battles to come. Came back and won again in 2009 and got revenge in 2010 while some others made The Decision to run to greener pastures. My GOAT.
After this the first loser, got a Gold Medal, Two Rings, Finals MVP, 60pt farewell, Oscar, two jerseys retired, and two more beautiful daughters. #RIPKOBE
At this time all folks talked about was he can’t win without shaq. Imagine going to the first finals in 4 years without Shaq and losing. But he took all that hate and pushed himself to not only win 1 more but back to back. Being a champion is a mentality first and foremost.
Retired Lakers fan here. I may come out of retirement when LeBron leaves the team, but you can see the reason I stopped watching right here. Watching LeBron’s presser and Kobe’s presser and it’s night and day. Kobe does what we all wish LeBron would do: Take accountability, give credit to the other team, admit that you failed, and vow to rededicate yourself to your craft to become and better and accomplish your goal. It’s so refreshing watching this post game interview and watch what a real leader looks like.
I remember after that Game Kobe was absolutely livid. I don't think I've ever seen him this mad after a loss. He handled the interview professionally though. Unlike James did in 2011. Also why didn't any of the Celtics players do a post game presser after Game 7 in 2010?
After that loss to the Celtics, you saw the hurt in Kobe's face but he a complete professional in this press conference. But looking at Kobe's face you knew he had revenge in his mind and he was gonna all about business in the 08- 09 season!
Can't even imagine how he felt at that point in time. 2007-08 was a roller coaster of a year to put it mildly. It went from Kobe demanding to be traded near the start of the season, being BOOED by the Laker crowd in the home opener, to the Lakers overachieving in the 1st part of the season, to the all-time trade steal of Pau Gasol, to Kobe winning his 1st MVP and leading the Lakers through the far superior WC...to losing in the finals against the Lakers most bitter historical rival and Kobe losing his then greatest opportunity to prove he could win a title w/out Shaq. I'm sure he was no less than devastated. What followed was a gold medal that summer and 2 straight titles including defeating the team that had just eliminated him before this press conference.
Forreal, well said. And everyone was excited about Bynum as well. Young, agile, long center. Then he gets injured. Now, we're screwed. Everyone has that sick to the stomach feeling. Then bam, we get Paul mofo Gasol. Crazy.
These guys get paid millions of dollars to play basketball, if they cant take a couple minutes after a game to answer some questions then they are fucking babys
@@risottonero4501 what happened in game 6 when the lakers were stomping on them then? Better yet game 4 of this very series where the Lakers were clowning this team and Paul Pierce went to the line any time someone breathed on him? I can't stand people and their lame excuses lol hold the L
This is how you handle a post game interview. Kobe, despite being so distraught over a Finals loss, he still showed up and respectfully answered the questions. And I get it, for players like Westbrook, Paul, etc., you're high on emotion cause you lost the game, but these reporters have a job to do, and yeah perhaps at times they ask dumb questions, but still you gotta handle them as professionally as they can.
it depends, some reporters want some controversial statement for their own interest, which quite irritating when u need to deal with the game loss and these bullshits
His face says it all - I love watching him walk off the court with the confetti falling when boston won because it was just the beginning. He then goes on to win a gold medal at the 08 olympics then on to his 4th ring with no time off. The next year boston brings it back and well we know what happens ring NUMBER 5 - back to back!! Then up until now -1 series down, Mavs, Thunder, east champ you are next!!! & then #6!!!!! GREAT JOB KOBE!!!!! Keep it up!!! Go Lakers in 2011!!!!

Seeing Kobe like this, one can’t help but think of Devin Booker, Ja Morant and Dillon Brooks skipping their press conference with the media after losing in the playoffs this year. It takes a very strong person to face the tough questions after getting blown out in a series clinching game, but especially in the Finals against your team’s biggest rival.
Also Ja knew he was gonna face tough questions after the fine in the west comments he made but at least he showed up after getting eliminated unlike that clown Brooks.
I remember watching Kobe walk back to the tunnel/lockeroom with confetti falling over him while the Celtics were celebrating! Made me feel for him but I know and everyone knows it just lit a HUGE Fire inside kobe. It’s never pretty.

@@thelokster0420 and like I said, go watch the postgame interviews of him him losing in his prime, you’ll see his frustration and determination to win the next year, which he did after Dallas in 2011 when he choked then won back to back in 2012 and 2013, beating two great teams.

Second, the question of basketball was referring to pressure, he was asked if certain players on the lakers were succumbing to pressure and his response was, “I’m not the one you should ask that, to me it’s just basketball, at the end of the day it’s just basketball”, and to him he would be correct.

Naw. That Celtic defense was ridiculously good. There was no way lost Angeles was winning this one. Go look at the tape on Boston's defense. You'll see.
We woulda won in 08 if Pau Gasol was ready. He was getting bullied the whole series by KG, big baby Davis, Kendrick Perkins and others. Kobe had to toughen that team up. Pau was SOFT before that 08 finals. Let KG and them push him around
He often mentioned learning to appreciate the downtime’s as much as the wins. I guess it drove him even harder. I think the L’s hurt more then the W’s felt good.
+Carlos Cotman I don't know for sure but you could make that argument being that he would have 7 but other people would make the argument that Jordan has 6 finals MVP's
This all Kobe needed to be better than mj 2001 REG Season MVP 28 ppg 2002 NBA/Finals MVP 2004 Finals MVP 2006 MVP 2008 Finals MVP/ Ring 2012 MVP All this added on what he has done Goat

this was one of the two moments that came to mind after kobe's passing. the other? kobe jumping into shaq's arms after winning his first championship.
Failed my driving test today, had to watch this to know everything will be okay next time
Here after the game 5 lose even the mamba lost , all that matters is redemption and getting back to work! mamba💛
So comparing this interview with Lebron's this past Saturday was like night and day miss Kobe for his humbleness as was big loss he did not blame refs or said it's just basketball
Lebron is 39 on the way out with 4 rings already, Kobe was sitting on 3 still hungry to win without Shaq. You guys just love to twist things to fit your narrative. Go watch Bron in Cleveland after 2015, or 2011, like….
@@Mjjjjjjjjjjjj it wasn't about championships it wasn't about how many times has he won I'm just tired of the fact that LeBron James is a diva in Los Angeles since we talked about championships how many championships have been won with Los Angeles which is one with covid ball but that is it if he cared he would've reply with just basketball here we have Kobe losing a game 6 against the Celtics a very hard game and this was his response to the matter. Like I said it's day and nite with LeBron crybaby ass
@@thelokster0420 and like I said, go watch the postgame interviews of him him losing in his prime, you’ll see his frustration and determination to win the next year, which he did after Dallas in 2011 when he choked then won back to back in 2012 and 2013, beating two great teams. Then in 2015 when returning to Cleveland and promising a championship, his first year he lost against golden state when kyrie and love were out, go watch that postgame interview, frustrated and determined was his demeanor, and the next year he came back down 3-1 to beat a 73-9 team. Like I said, you only focus on certain things to suit your narrative, Lebron is 39, in year 22, has made the finals 10 out of 22 seasons, I think it’s understandable that an older player would be a little dramatic knowing his time is running out and he know what’s it likes to be at mountain top and he just got booted in the first round. Second, the question of basketball was referring to pressure, he was asked if certain players on the lakers were succumbing to pressure and his response was, “I’m not the one you should ask that, to me it’s just basketball, at the end of the day it’s just basketball”, and to him he would be correct. All time leading scorer, first to ever reach 40,000 points, 4 time champion, 4 time finals mvp, 4 mvp, 10 finals appearances, 8 straight finals appearances. What are we talking about here?

@@Mjjjjjjjjjjjj
I remember LeBron having a pep rally saying they were going to win 8 chips in 2010.
I also remember him saying that his haters have shitty lives, and he is going to wake up as LeBron James tomorrow after losing to the Mavs.
it should have been 3-peat tho
Mark MM If Bynum was there man in 2008
Naw. That Celtic defense was ridiculously good. There was no way lost Angeles was winning this one. Go look at the tape on Boston's defense. You'll see.
We woulda won in 08 if Pau Gasol was ready. He was getting bullied the whole series by KG, big baby Davis, Kendrick Perkins and others. Kobe had to toughen that team up. Pau was SOFT before that 08 finals. Let KG and them push him around
@@dwyanewade8645 man stop if Bynum and Ariza would of played lakers would of won.
R.I.P
he looks so pissed lol
Compared to curry lol
this guy is a legend because of his mentality. Curry is not even in the same class, much less from the same world, from kobe. #mambamentality
Lots of Celtics fan saying they could have won the 2010 Finals if Perkins never got injured yet Andrew Bynum was also injured in these series.
This defeat made Kobe even worked harder than everyone. #RIP
24 was my favorite Kobe cause that’s when he was the man of the team.
What in the world....30 is young........everyone knows he's the single best in the NBA right now.
bro he was so pissed
Rip Kobe!!!!
Kobe has the best postgame pressers
He was so pissed
He often mentioned learning to appreciate the downtime’s as much as the wins. I guess it drove him even harder. I think the L’s hurt more then the W’s felt good.
if kobe would won in 04 and 08 he would be better than jordan
+Carlos Cotman I don't know for sure but you could make that argument being that he would have 7 but other people would make the argument that Jordan has 6 finals MVP's
This all Kobe needed to be better than mj
2001 REG Season MVP 28 ppg
2002 NBA/Finals MVP
2004 Finals MVP
2006 MVP
2008 Finals MVP/ Ring
2012 MVP
All this added on what he has done Goat
+Swaggy Jee shoulda coulda woulda bro
+Darwin Walker sooo what's your point
+Swaggy Jee my point is that's fantasy reality is reality and the reality of the matter is Kobe never surpassed Jordan nor will he ever
Rip much love
Love you KOBE REST EASY CHAMP
kobe said that this wasn't his worst finals defeat in his career. fast forward to now he said it was.
Because the moment you lost another you just in a process trying to figure it out it takes time to realize it
