The fact that Kobe loved this, and loved Kyrie for his confidence.
I guarantee you Kobe would be disappointed with how he turned out now.
@@TheRealPlanetFaz a ring, multiple finals appearances including now, hit arguably the biggest shot in finals history. You don’t know ball
@@StrawhatThomas You casuals need to stop using that "you don't know ball" excuse everytime you hear something you don't like. His resume is not what I meant, kiddo. What I meant is how he turned out. Kobe was one of the most passionate players of all time and he was known for his killer instinct. Something obviously Kyrie lacks big time. Quits on teams whenever they start doing bad or whenever things don't go the way he wants, he always pulls a Ben Simmons and sits out games whenever he wants and he says dumb stuff all the time. Like imagine sitting out because he didn't want to get some stupid shot or leaving the team because he had a personal issue but then being caught clubbing a few hours later. I guarantee you Kyrie would have sat out or asked out of Dallas if the Mavs weren't a good team and you know that's a fact.
@@TheRealPlanetFazexactly, amazing how these idiots can think any deeper than a kiddie pool lmaoooo
@@TheRealPlanetFaz
I agree with your words.
Kyrie “You acting like you talking to a high school kid!!!”
Kobe “You just left high school kid!!!”
LMAOOO
Classic
Easy 💴
He got locked up like ps5 at Walmart
Barsss...
It went full circle for kyrie, he’s now the vet and Ant the young star challenging him.
And getting fooled
@@MindNMeltwhat was that?
@@MindNMeltjust like Kyrie got… weird how that works
And they killing Ant for the same confidence. It's weird. This is what they do.
@@Gaits825 well yeah, jealous people on their couch because they weren’t good enough to go pro or even college will do that. It’s always been a thing, always will be. Like MindNMelt up there…
“Easy money Easyyymoney”😂😂😂
Lol haha! Took him to school!
I always say that at work, easy money 💪😎💵💵
That Floyd response lmao 🤣
@@erindelesline9883Good attitude to have
Bro that killed me 🤣
I respect Kyrie not backing down, you can’t be elite if you don’t believe you’re good enough to beat anyone
And he did cross him up twice in USA practice
Maturity is realising basketball is not a 1v1 game. It's a team game
There’s a difference between arrogance and not backing down. This was naive arrogance
@@TV-ob1ifoldest glazer on the internet 😂
@@TV-ob1ifExcept that Kyrie’s attitude was classic Kobe.
I still can’t believe he’s gone
Yes! That was absolutely TRAGIC!!! 😢
Man when Kobe died it felt like I lost a family member
On my birthday dude
I know bro
Then believe it
Kobe was like that with Jordan and Jordan took him under his wing. That’s why he returned the favor. Respect!
Kobe nowhere close to MJ
I think theres alot of similarities
@@delmardonte906 closer than you think but not MJ
@namelesssoul8098 you don't know what I think and no it's not close. I checked the numbers and awards idiot. There not close
@@namelesssoul8098 Yeah close, but that only counts with horseshoes and hand grenades! LOL
It was this moment that Kobe saw himself in Kyrie.
Kobe had a similar, bold approach with Mike. No fear. Love it.
“I know your Dad thinks you can’t beat me 1v1” 🥶
sheesh 🔥
That was harsh. And Kyrie stopped to think about it too haha
lmao he hit Kyrie where it hurts 🤣🤣 just he was tryna do with kobe
Kobe is the only guy that Kyrie would take that from.
His God father can beat MJ 1 v 1
He said it was easy money lol and he said I know you Dad don't think you can beat me 😂😂😂 man I miss kobe
They really bet too
Kyrie: "50 grand to a boss is nothing".
Kobe:"I know your daddy doesn't believe you can beat me 1-on-1.
I KNOW THAT! I KNOW. That ". 😄😄
Kobe told Kyrie; But your Dad isnt about to put his money on you kid! So where you gonna get the 🍞? 😂🤣
This dude crossed the whole all star team after he said this 😂
And he was trash talking the highschool kid 😂😂😂
Why waiting months 😅
He cooked him in that practice session😅😅
Kobe, dammm I miss this guy. Legend
His basketball legacy was very important to him because he knew life was short, but his legacy would live forever. It's too bad he didn't have time to see his kids grow up.
I DO TO
You didn't know him
@@MAG327it's "too" not "to"
@@delmardonte906 THEN IF YOU WANT TO CORRECT SOME ONE IN ENGLISH, IT'S SHOULD OF BEEN WITH A CAPITAL It's.
IM LUCKY ENOUGH TO SHARE MY BIRTHDAY WITH SUCH A AWSOME HUMAN BEING😊KOBE FOREVER. AUGUST 23RD.
When Kobe shaking his head saying easy money…. You know you fucked up.
You know!! You fucked up!
Period 😂😂🤦
This is how Uncle Drew was made. Teaching young ballers to always respect their seniors.
Thus the line: "Don't reach young blood".
"you reach, I teach"
Rest In Power Kobe
You’re truly missed
One can only imagine this video has to be tough for Kyrie to watch!.
I’m sure that Soul is proud of Kyrie right now.. 🕊️☁️
He said it makes him the saddest person in the flat world. 😅
Based on how the finals went so far, I don’t think so 😂
@@stevenyeh3799 .. Based on the Finals??
Besides the FACT that Kyrie is already a Champion. We’re gonna believe that a lifetimes worth of work would be narrowed down to 4 games and Kobe soul and spirit dismisses one’s whole resume but even more so Kobe discredits the insanely amazing talent but even more so the most skilled we’ve all ever seen because of “These Finals!”.
You got it bro
👍🏽
Kobe Bryant overshadowed his own elite defense with his legendary overall performances.
Always refreshing to see.
Wild part is this is “old” Kobe locking him up.
True but this is young kyrie. While he was greta he clearly lacked something because kyrie now would have pulled up a shot with the space kobe gave him at the start
@@Christopher._M yeah younger kyrie was extremely raw and just pure talent he was good but he didnt know how to utilize his gifted handles to the fullest he sometimes overdribbled and did too much, but now he takes the best shot by creating it with the handle and not rejecting the oppurtunity
Yeah, Kobe was still a beast as he got older though. This was also before Kyrie's prime. I would add that Kobe was a lot bigger physically, but Kyrie challenged him so that's on him for barking up the wrong tree. lol
@@Christopher._M young Kryie would ha w pulled up as well, that was the point he said you have to guard. He wanted to show he could score on him. Bro do you play basketball
Dont debate on "old" kobe and "young" kyrie. Kobe beat him that time period, it just show experience is better than skill/talent.
Rest easy Kobe Bryant 🙏🏾, 803
Kobe man glad I got to see his whole career
My boy 8-24 was the last of a dying breed
Fax
Mj's protege 😢
We got Edwards
@@tbagspecialist8497literally came to comment the same thing on this year old post lmao
@@tbagspecialist8497 Glad we got Ant.
“Your dad don’t think you can beat me” 🥶🥶
Brought his Daddy into the conversation lol! 😂
i love the way kobe played defense, he was just always on his toes and seems like he never bit on fakes
Kobe will always be that player loved worldwide. A Laker legend and NBA icon! The best of the best!
No, he won't. Stop.
He made the Lakers relevant for a while just like LeBron is doing now 🔥
Not everyone was a Kobe fan. He wanted to be Italian so bad.
@@Katafro-Boricuagreat we have another ledicklick changing the narrative. Who thought you that a deadbeat dad like Umar?
@@Katafro-BoricuaThis is when idiots rear their head in the worst way. He didnt 'want' to be Italian. He literally grew up in Italy. Jus say u a hater cuz he punked your fav player
Kobe was something else. A different level.
I agree and I will tell you those dribbling skills are unreal, but look how low Covid gets and he knows this kid is good, but he still at the end did not lose
nope
Not really
I respect Kyrie for his confidence. Keep in mind his father used to drive him to NYC to get his game up in street ball. Also kept him in Kobe's camps every year
Kobe was a different animal and the same beast.
Lmao
But...what does that MEAN @carlosq1177 LOL
KOBE WAS THE TRUTH AND ALWAYS WILL C ON EVERYTHING STRAIGHT UP NOT DOWN 💪🏿 R.I.P KOBE BRYANT.
Kobe’s favorite mentee ! He’d be proud of Ky especially with his growth in the Game
True. But Kyrie underperformed in the Finals. After he played so well against Minnesota.
Wow all time classic two of my goats
Kobe 💔
Rest In Peace!!!!!!!🕊👏🙏😥
This probably how the Ja vs Jordan thing would end lol Love Kyrie’s heart tho 😂
Jordan would just get ja kicked off the team. he takes it very personal
michael jordan will hold him under 10 points
You mean his grandeurs of delusion?
Ky was still super yung it wouldn't be the same in an actual 1v1. Not a easy Dub for Kobe by any means. Could go either way.
Ja would yam on MJ if given the opportunity
Keep in mind that Kyrie was a young guy at age 20 and Kobe Bryant was 34
Yeah you don't know 1/4 of what you THINK you know at 20...we've all been there, lol.
Man I miss him.. 😪
I love how everyone just let them have that battle that’s respect. Playing with honor ✊🏽
Kyrie was excited he had the opportunity to challenge the only person he looked up to in the league . Keep Pushing Kyrie you always got my Support brotha ✊🏿
Mamba forever 💪🏿🙏🏿❤️
glaze
I miss this man so much
The confidence and fearless mentality that Kyrie has is what makes him one of the best today. No fear of challenging the best 💪🏾
Kobe locked that up
Kobe wasn't the best
@jamesmacias2001 so who was better than Kobe at that time him and Kyrie played each other? I know you want to say MJ but he was already long retired, I'm saying Kobe was the top dog at that time, so who was better than him at that time then ?
@@gener875Kobe wasn't the best. Even in his time.
@@gener875 where is Kobe now and where's Kyrie
I mean Kobe is easily one of the best defenders of his generation
Of his generation?
One of the best EVER the man has 9 first team defensive selections the most ever with MJ and GP.
Great help defender, ball on defender.
Like u talking crazy 😄
Ever
He's one of the superstars who actually took pride in it nightly. Last of a dying generation.
Whoops very polarizing hes had the heart and will to do it but I'm sorry even as a guard you got 60 dropped you in two games. I know Gil is tough but bro really and duh yes kobe wasn't his main defender but when kobe had enough Gil still gave him st least a good ten points straight just saying. Very polarizing cause he'll do that 1 night then the next a guy like Gil or even Ray Allen would have a good 20 25 cause kobe got lazy or guarded the when they already cooking. Ijs lobe kobe but facts are facts his d was polarizing
@@donnyjones6717 that was a prime gil he was a tough match up for anybody
Classic Kobe. Gotta love The Mamba.
Anthony Edward's dad challenging Kobe Bryant is crazy!
Kobe had to teach the young fella
Imagine saying "You have to guard!" to one of the best defensive guards of all time.
His point was that Kobe couldn’t take it easy against him…
Fax. 😂😂😂
@@TRoberti023He also said that he wouldn’t be able to take him 1 on 1 and we all saw the result
@@amilcarsafeca7629bro we seen the result on 1 play n its the same play on multiple channels lol like we all hoop u can't use 1 play as evidence not even 1 game yet alone 1 single play? 😂gtfoh
@@thuglife2ea424 I've been waiting for that for years 😂😂
Man I miss Kobe
This is what Ant is doing to Kyrie right now. Time flies.
Ant will be the best two way player we have seen since prime Spurs Kawhi Leonard. I can't put him on Jordan's or Kobe's level, but Kawhi is definitely up there with the best of them for a short time period.
Kobe defenses is so underrated
Pretty sure Kobe liked it when younger guys challenges him. Guy never backs down!
"you just got out of highschool KID!!!!!" Don Demarco Shiii like dat dat dat 🔥🔥🔥
No matter how good you think you are there is always someone better
When Kobe pulled his shorts up I knew the block was coming 😂😂
Kyrie not getting vaccinated not playing games:
“Easy money”
Nah he actually lost money...
@@josephschmizzo1595 technically gained money bc u cant lose money u never had
Smartest thing he's ever done
Kyrie smart tho
Y’all Vaccinators are mad slow have fun with the blood clots
KOBE!🟡🟣
You know Kobe didn’t take this for granted. He studied tapes of Kyrie for months prior to the Cavs/Lakers meeting. He was prepared.
Rest in paradise Kobe classic moment 🙏💎
i bet kyrie has rewatched this so many times n at least had a tear
EASY MONEY BLACK MAMBA!!!💯💯💯💐💐💐
Kobe off the court is very motivational.
Kobe simply gave us every aspect 🌎🏆
Kyrie hasn't been the same since Kobe died
His path was definitely a crazy one, but he's made his name all the same.
Yea he has 😂😂
@@nindentoswitchusefulgaming184no he not
He has grown now.
@@nindentoswitchusefulgaming184nah bro, he's been depressed for a looong time
I think Kyrie forgot that he “needs to guard” as nasty as he is on offence, his defence is sus at best
This is why Kobe is one of my favorite players ever❤ R.I.P
We all miss Kobe so much, my friend and I just last week talked about him and the terrible loss his family must still be going through daily. We all loved Kobe.
Lmfao wypipo stay in yo lane. Kobe our idol
like the confidence kyrie but kobe got that 1
Lol "easy money...eeasy money...eeeazzyy money" - kobe
This makes me so happy and sad at the same time❤
One thing i love about these callout outs the players did and do is how funny they are and of corse they alwase will show respect to one another but of corse with competitiveness
Yep, easy Money. The Mamba 4ever!
glaze
Easy money but he was afraid to play. 😂
Kobe had a 42 piece that game but Kyrie had 28 and 11 and the win
And what when he wanted the smoke he wasn’t up to that particular challenge. He got the win but still didn’t get the praise he wanted
And Kyrie never scored on Kobe. While Kobe scored on Kyrie every time Kyrie guarded him
@@blackie6050He is one head shorter than Kobe and his arms are half size of Kobes, most of the people who is 6 foot will never touch the NBA. Kyrie was a legend and never backed down even facing Kobe
@@ogposer 3 inches isn't as much as you made it out to be. Also, the point is that Kyrie was cocky and thought Kobe wasn't able to guard him, but he wasn't up to the task.
@@warr1or705he was also sooo young at the time. Kobe might have been old but had so much more experience than Kyrie
MJ and Kobe 1 and 2, they were straight dawgs, that killer mentality aint found in manyone these days
There will NEVER be another like Kob... there isn't anybody even close that's in the league right now. Not even close!
Kobe lettin him know it wasn't bout to be what Iverson did to MJ when he was a rookie🏀💯🤷🤣...
Kyrie effed up he should have never reset. He should went stright up. He crossed kobe up and made him dance came back and had enof time and space to get a quality shot off. Kobe saw and opening on the other end on that post up and took it. I think kyrie current kyrie and that kobe would be a better match up. Cuz kai iq has gotten better.
@@daijourcalloway998 Ky could have pulled up but he didn't, I think he wanted to finish over Kobe at the rim. As you see in the video Kobe was leaving quite a bit of space
@@warr1or705 that's a Fact. Like I said that kobe and current kyrie would have been a better match. 1st Kai knows how to get ware he wants and still get the shot off on anybody now. And also he takes what the defense gives. So I'm sure this version would of pulled.
Yep@@daijourcalloway998
And this is why they had such a great relationship years later. That self belief is how Kobe was able to get MJ to mentor him.
When did MJ mentor him?
@@akkoismydaughter3573crazy thing is 27 dummies gave it a thumbs up
@@akkoismydaughter3573 throughout his career he said he'd always text mj & he'd give him advice whenever he'd asked. They had a very well known big lil brother type relationship. They are very similar mentally.
So "self belief" is why Mamba and MJ became so close?!
@@akkoismydaughter3573 when they met in 98 allstar game mj said kobe started to call him a lot after that and he gave him a lot of advice, also MJ worked in the lakers organization with phil in 2000 and he specifically trained Kobe
When kobe pulled on them shorts, he was so locked into kyrie i bet he could feel and hear kyrie heartbeat
Kobe Bryant is definitely the Bruce Lee of professional basketball. 🏀 💜💛💜💔😔💯 🕊 🕊 🕊 RIH brother.
MambaForever🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
Kobe was the best ever
That was real entertainment watching Kobe put ppl on a island with 3 broken fingers and 2 fractured lol
Literally won to championships by himself
Not really.
@@TheGr8-1 There hasn't been a player on Earth more skilled than Kobe Bryant. Jordan had more athleticism and that was it. It always amazes me how some of you fools don't like Kobe Bryant.
@@omar-uu8qo nobody like the guy who's coming right after and 4 the beloved Michael Jordan.
Kobe said he knew his dad u not gonna be able to beat me one on one he was such inspirational to us making us better and stronger all for one and one for all!!!!!!!❤
When kyrie and Kobe were in the iso 1on1 and the crowd was cheering plus the music 🥺
EASY MONEY!
Kyrie Irving wasn't ready for that for real like Mamba Mentality is legendary.
Actually, he was because the Cavs beat them in that game. Kobe had 40 but Irving had a double double and won the game.
glaze
I think people forget how great of a defender Kobe was . Shut down defender at that
I like how Kobe was joking with it. Jordan gave new players cold faces and broke their spirits whenever they challenged him.
What Kyrie think he was gonna do posting up Kobe?😂
Bruh I’m pretty sure he could’ve shot it but wtv
NOW THATS DEFENSE. PUT SOME RESPECT ON KOBES NAME 😤
Yeah that was fundamental defense. Kobe had the perfect defense stance, sliding his feet, keeping up with the waist(not the head and feet), and he kept his hands ready.
That's " Respeck" on Kobe's name
@@rodneyjones5274 my bad lol
Kobe is the idol of kyrie
They became great friends and Ky was extremely devastated on the loss of his big brother. We all wanted to beat our older sibling.
We all know Kobe was studying Kyries every moves and counter moves. I remember watching Kobe breakdown Stephs game and how to guard Steph. It was great to see the length details Kobe had on Stephs game.
Kyrie wanted all the smoke......and got all the smoke 🤣
Oh those 2 plays during the regular season months later? 🤣
It was more than 2 plays, genius. If you watched the game during that time, you’d know 🤫
@@albertmorales3233 wym kyrie scored 20+ that game
@@rammawia1149 i mean kobe had 42 also. Great players are gonna get their buckets. It’s about hard you make them work to get those points and efficiency.
@@rammawia1149 they didn’t guard one another exclusively the whole game don’t be ridiculous. Kobe would have dropped 60 if Kyrie was defending him exclusively
Forget about it... 💪🏾
The level of mastery Kob had of the game is crazy.
People forget Kobe was also a 9 time defensive first team selection during his career.
Kobe was ripping him up in practice a lot didn’t have to wait months
Classic!!!
Thats the spirit of competition. Fun bantering for good competition
I need the pictures of them on the court especially after Kyrie backs up and Kobe is at the 3pt line guarding him. I need that poster!
Sorry Kyrie their are these things called levels and this guy…..you aren’t on THAT guys level😂
Dude had 28 points, 11 assists with a broken finger while having the highest +/- and he won the game, you should see their scrims in 2014 with team USA, he disrespected Kobe
@@ceronibalsamar5352 kyrie is great for sure he’s not Kobe though 👍🏾 I’m not diminishing 1 guy to raise another kyrie is spectacular! But he’s not Kobe and he’s not beating Kobe sorry 😂
Classic moment
The way Kobe anticipates Kyries final spin back inside..doesn’t bite on the pump..that’s crazy attention to detail man you know he watched that on film. Wow.
Al time great clip. Both remaining true to their natural character
