I don't think arenas is under rated.. he only had 1 good season thats about it. 1 season where u can say, yea hes a superstar... his other seasons he played like an allstar... but nothing special, but hes not garbage.
Same bro never him or GiGi or the other 7 but every time I see those two in particular or highlights I can’t help it…still unreal to me…I was gonna start watching the WNBA and NCAA Women’s again when GiGi was gonna play
It's hard not to get sad hearing these Kobe stories knowing he's not here anymore and the manner in which he passed away. But if you're a die hard Kobe fan, it hurts you to the core. He never truly got his flowers when he was alive either, which makes it hurt that much more.
Mamba smiling down on the NBA and his die hard fan like us bro. No doubt it hurts he not hear no more and worse not getting to raise his daughter's be a girl Dad &get old with his wife LL Bean🐐🏀🙏🏽😢💯
Ehhh, he’s always got his flowers from the fans and the players. Only people that disrespect him are the media, and I highly doubt he gave af about their opinion.
Miss kobe I just loved how invincible he seemed when he was on the court. Always confident and unshakable and you felt that other players felt the same. R.I P. Kobe
@aj nap40 you have no possible way to concur either of our levels of intelligence from the youtube comment section, however it does not matter, you've bored me. Bye now
At his peak, Gilbert was a killer himself. Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady, Gilbert Arenas, Vince Carter, Allen Iverson were all cut from a different cloth during back then. My fav players to watch growing up.
Honestly I always hear these same things about jordan but never hear any stories about it like someone saying he did this or that but never a story just he did this or that
Damn, I love watching players'/former players' podcasts man. I feel like they're more comfortable when it comes to these. No pressure to fake themselves in front of mass or mainstream media. Hoping for more! PS: Gil is one of the realest! Somebody hire him as a scout of Assistant coach.
In other words his oldskool mindset never left him ✅🐍 Oldskool nba ran things real time I was told they'd actually practice dunks before the dunk contest but actually go hard 😤
Gilbert was one of my favorites growing up. That was a very special era of basketball for my generation and I to see Gil drop these gems on his podcast is gold
I remember the 2010 wcf and kobe iced the series in game 6 with the three in grant hill's face. He was all over him and kobe still drained it like he was open. Cold af
@@deezghogh2552 it’s a unwritten rule in pick up games to not double team. Joachim Noah and another player I can’t remember was doubling booker and booker expressed his dislike for it. Gil seen the video and basically told devin to accept it and actually asked for the double cus it’ll help his game in a real situation.
@@Jstacksxxx It wasn't Noah. It was Tony Snell and another player. But Noah did basically tell Booker to stop cryin because doublin is apart of basketball and the game went on.
gilbert arenas is really a beast in basketball mindset and play! I hope young players coming up have someone that can mentor them with what is going to happen and how to prepare for real game moments. I appreciate him just sharing it so that people that may not have played can see the parts of the game that aren't in the highlights. thanks Mr. Arenas
Now I see why kobe was so clutch no matter how good your defense was if your not going to alter his shot at least by fouling him its going in, just fearless
"That's how I use to approach it" noticed the pause, Gilbert had to bring it back. Stuff like that happens all the time in life, people are blinded to these life moments. I'm going to go out on a limb here, ether the other two didn't believe that Gilbert understood the Kobe mindset or the skills are to far apart to even compare or these two can keep attention, which is sad to live with that handicap in life. Regardless I'm happy conversation are being had, remember folks it's US not I, it's love not hate. Peace!
The everlasting power of the Black Mamba shows itself clearly in this video. These gentleman began the basketball conversation talking and thinking about Kobe and transitioned to talking and thinking LIKE Kobe.
I LOVED Phoenix back then! Barbosa Amare Steve my goodness. Thats when Sean Marks was a player still I believe. Rip Kobe man smh...that aint never gone sit right with me 💔
Oh shit you know your baskeball. I still can't get over that shot that tim thomas hit on the lakers in the 06 playoffs. The suns had a fun team those years kurt thomas,eddie jones, eddie house, jim jackson, barbosa, bell, brian grant, nash, amare, and marion great team.
Kobe was like MJ, wanted to be the single best player to have ever lived. No friends no hype nothing. Decimate everyone first, get the fame and money next. Rare breed what a goat
Im not a laker fan.. but im a kobe fan. HE IS REALLY DIFFERENT.. Specially his number 24 years its more wiser than the number 8, though number 8 is more explosive kobe.. Gilbert Arenas commenting seriously about Kobe is something special.. a great player gilbert, knows very well..👍👍 RIP Kobe..
It's important people know that the Black Mamba nickname, came from the Kill Bill movies. Inspired by Uma Thurman's character, the relentless assassin. That's how Kobe approached his craft.
Gil but !!! John can slow him down you know when he puts his effort in on defense he ha size over Gil but nah Gil would tire him out it’s a wrap after that watched em both
Kobe was the real life Vegeta lmaoooo man wanted all the smoke...before the smoke got there 😂 it made him resilient and is the reason why he could score before/during/after contact smh. RIP Bean
@aj nap40 Funny...I was talking about his mindset...but you're a classic hater who backs this soft ass league of weak minded players, I understand. Be very lucky prime Kobe wasn't in this era of players....everyone would get destroyed and you know it.
@aj nap40 ...but very few have it in basketball..... him and MJ tops that list....which is why he will always be missed. And on top of that, he's the most skilled player to ever touch a basketball.
Rajah Bell Tracy McGrady Shane Battier Ron Artest Tony Allen These are just some of the guys that guarded Kobe and got some good complements from him. That's rare.
I hope to be as passionate about something as Kobe was about basketball. Wow
@RShCovers wholesome comment🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
If you have to hope it, you already failing. You be it.
Try as many things out as possible man ! U will find it!
Start now.
get passionate about politics. change the world
John Wall looking like “Good for Kobe. I aint doin that bruh”
Kobe was special.
Hahahaha
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What for so he can get hurt? 💀
😭😭😭😭😭 I swear I caught them vibes
😂😂😂😂
gilbert was under rated and underappreciated. was so beastly on the court
Agent Zero: HIBACHI!
Underrated what?
From the way he talks, I thought he won like 5 championships.
@@trippedtom1409 yeah and allen iverson prolly the best bb player ever but he aint won any championships
I don't think arenas is under rated.. he only had 1 good season thats about it. 1 season where u can say, yea hes a superstar... his other seasons he played like an allstar... but nothing special, but hes not garbage.
That's how Kobe could shoot with Battier's hand all in his face
“HE CAN’T GUARD ME”
Shane was the only guy I ever seen that would put his arm in the middle of Kobe's form and it still wouldn't effect Kobe .
@@Maxjuliann Not really true. Kobe's shooting percentages were noticeably lower than his season averages whenever he played the Rockets.
Lmao it bother battier more... doing everything you can and it's not working... that shakes your spirit.
@@spiidey1 maybe because of the 7'6 Center backing up Battier and Mutombo whenever Yao got tired.
I love these Kobe stories 🙏💯💯💯
Man these stories get me through the day.🐍
Too many of them.
Kobe so deep! GOAT#2
They gonna be telling these for the next 30 years like Tupac stories
Kobe passion for the game was so crazy it made him seem like a weirdo… I cried 3 times when he passed and never met him he was my childhood
Same bro never him or GiGi or the other 7 but every time I see those two in particular or highlights I can’t help it…still unreal to me…I was gonna start watching the WNBA and NCAA Women’s again when GiGi was gonna play
Miss Kobe 😥 Gilbert your doing an amazing job with this podcast. Best basketball podcast out by far
RIP Kobe
All smoke
It's hard not to get sad hearing these Kobe stories knowing he's not here anymore and the manner in which he passed away. But if you're a die hard Kobe fan, it hurts you to the core. He never truly got his flowers when he was alive either, which makes it hurt that much more.
He didn't need them. His ranking is top 5
Agreed! They still are attempting to discredit his legacy now.
Mamba smiling down on the NBA and his die hard fan like us bro. No doubt it hurts he not hear no more and worse not getting to raise his daughter's be a girl Dad &get old with his wife LL Bean🐐🏀🙏🏽😢💯
Ehhh, he’s always got his flowers from the fans and the players. Only people that disrespect him are the media, and I highly doubt he gave af about their opinion.
Miss kobe I just loved how invincible he seemed when he was on the court. Always confident and unshakable and you felt that other players felt the same. R.I P. Kobe
His only worst enemy was himeself.
I see Kobe , I auto click
The most disrespected goat of all time !!!
I wonder what Booker thinks of this Kobe story "Let's work on our games" 😂
Heck he’s scared of a mascot dinosaur. He can’t be the next kobe. 😅
Kobe out there yelling "y'all need to double me" during practice while Booker said "yo no double teaming in open gym bro."
Gilbert sounds so down to earth and well spoken. 👌🏽
Love seeing this 2nd act for Gil. Smart funny and knowledgeable knows the game too obviously🏀💯
This is what separates Kobe from the other Basketball legends
@aj nap40 ok bronsexual stat nerd. Go play with your 2k now.
@aj nap40 Yeah sure, where in your xbox?
You wouldn't know any facts about this world little boy.
@aj nap40 bhahaha! What a dimwit!
@aj nap40 bro I get your point, but you seem kinda triggered.😳
Plus those bars were poo cheese 🙃
@aj nap40 you have no possible way to concur either of our levels of intelligence from the youtube comment section, however it does not matter, you've bored me.
Bye now
John wall didn’t even know what agent 0 was talking about or respecting. That’s how advanced kobe was.
Why are these lil clips of Gilbert Arenas stories so addicting
“The more you sweat during training, the less you bleed in combat” -Richard Marcinko
I just click because of I see KOBE. 🐍
At his peak, Gilbert was a killer himself. Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady, Gilbert Arenas, Vince Carter, Allen Iverson were all cut from a different cloth during back then. My fav players to watch growing up.
Kobe gotta be Jordans son. They are so identical from their mannerisms, skill and mental approach to the game
Honestly I always hear these same things about jordan but never hear any stories about it like someone saying he did this or that but never a story just he did this or that
@@qualiswilliams4129 tons of Jordan stories lol
Why can’t Kobe be his own person he’s not Jordan son he had his own percents
Had the same trainer, coach, coaching staff, film, and the mindset of the same coach who coached Jordan. All Kobe had to do was study and mimic
@@qualiswilliams4129 where the hell you been? You’re on TH-cam, use it 😂 in all seriousness watch The Last Dance
This is why Kobe was so good at taking contact and still hitting crazy shots.
Damn, I love watching players'/former players' podcasts man. I feel like they're more comfortable when it comes to these. No pressure to fake themselves in front of mass or mainstream media. Hoping for more!
PS: Gil is one of the realest! Somebody hire him as a scout of Assistant coach.

Oldskool nba ran things real time I was told they'd actually practice dunks before the dunk contest but actually go hard 😤
Did you just say they practiced dunks before the dunk contest? How is that anything out of the ordinary
Man these stories get me through the day.🐍
Kobe was a damn genius, gone way too soon he had so much more to offer man
Gilbert was one of my favorites growing up. That was a very special era of basketball for my generation and I to see Gil drop these gems on his podcast is gold
I been on Kobe since his #8 days. I'm telling you STRAIGHT BEAST!
WHAT AN INCREDIBLE STORY. KOBE WAS SO DIFFERENT & UNIQUE
"Big guys in the post don't know how to get out of a trap and find a white guy," lol love it.
Something tells me he said wide but either or makes sense
😂😂😂😂😂😂 we need somebody to hit that 3
I think he said "find the
the right guy...they (just) don't know (what to do)
Gilbert Arenas is a basketball mind. I would love to see him coach or be involved in teaching the game to others.
I remember the 2010 wcf and kobe iced the series in game 6 with the three in grant hill's face. He was all over him and kobe still drained it like he was open. Cold af
I’m glad the Devin Booker comment was quick. We knew but they don’t wanna disrespect him
What's the backstory?
@@deezghogh2552 it’s a unwritten rule in pick up games to not double team. Joachim Noah and another player I can’t remember was doubling booker and booker expressed his dislike for it.

Most overreacted thing I’ve seen in a while when it was trending
@@T-H-E-WORLD you right I didn’t feel like looking it up at the time lol
not gonna lie anytime Kobe is mentioned in a story I tear up a little.. rip
That's a fact. I do, too. I can't help it. I miss that guy, like he was a blood related relative. 💯✌🏾
@@trizzmatic413 I feel sad when I hear about Kobe but, if I see a pic of Gigi then I start to cry.
Likewise brother. Let’s rejoice in the fact that we were able to witness his skill, dedication, and love for the game.

I hope young players coming up have someone that can mentor them with what is going to happen and how to prepare for real game moments.

I love these Kobe stories.
“HE’S playing US! Talking bout raja bell...”
Got that too lol gil got lost maybe?
@@sunnysideup5826 the point was Kobe was crazy. Raja was one of the best defenders so kobe wanted to be guarded like raja guarded him for practice
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Gilbert Arenas! Rememeber seeing you play at my first NBA game back in mid 2000s love that you have a show now! Much love
1:22 - air ball in the background
Wow ice cold RIP Mamba
That’s what we loved and misse about Kobe- how hard he worked and how intensely . And never complaining . No one like it since
Credit to Gil, he has all these stories to tell cuz he was in the gym right there with the Kobe's and the Ray Allen's
Glad to see John looking healthy mentally and physically 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🤞🏾🔥
It’s cool to see two DC pgs Choppin it up
Now I see why kobe was so clutch no matter how good your defense was if your not going to alter his shot at least by fouling him its going in, just fearless
Kobe was a basketball Ambassador, like a 007 who was highly versed in several languages, could play the piano, advanced communication, etc.
Gil was the OG Steph Curry mixed with An Lil A.i 💯
John wall never had that killer attitude, he just accepts it lol
@Clutch7 funny never saw him in a playoff game that mattered.
Very cool not just because Kobe was smart enough to prepare but because this is life advice. This can easily be beyond basketball.
Man its good to see john wall next to gilbert arenas. No love lost between a grown man and his younger teammate.
Even in retirement, you know your legacy in the game is cemented when people in the league past & present highly admired his work ethic and skill set.
Bruh Gilbert has sooo much game and knowledge to pass on its unreallllll. And when I mean game I’m not jus talkin bout basketball
"That's how I use to approach it" noticed the pause, Gilbert had to bring it back. Stuff like that happens all the time in life, people are blinded to these life moments. I'm going to go out on a limb here, ether the other two didn't believe that Gilbert understood the Kobe mindset or the skills are to far apart to even compare or these two can keep attention, which is sad to live with that handicap in life.

My guy Kobe. #No.2 of all time.
Gilbert should be a assistant coach somewhere
Fr
I have a feeling no one can tell him nothin tho. That's why he aint a coach
@@michaelangelo1546 nah man. that aint it
Rest in Peace Kobe Bryant and Gigi
#MAMBAFOREVER
Part of the reason he is in my top 5; Work ethic💪🏿#ForeverMamba🙏🏾
Did anyone see at 0:50 the kid in the back left bounce the ball with his head
The everlasting power of the Black Mamba shows itself clearly in this video. These gentleman began the basketball conversation talking and thinking about Kobe and transitioned to talking and thinking LIKE Kobe.
I miss kobe, I miss you bro
Im telling you players feared Kobe
Players feared Lebron too.
If you're not helping him, you're gonna get traded and get your carrer out the trash.
Ask IT.
@@theinnocentturtle1236 IT was cause of injuries not LeBron
I LOVED Phoenix back then! Barbosa Amare Steve my goodness. Thats when Sean Marks was a player still I believe. Rip Kobe man smh...that aint never gone sit right with me 💔
Oh shit you know your baskeball. I still can't get over that shot that tim thomas hit on the lakers in the 06 playoffs. The suns had a fun team those years kurt thomas,eddie jones, eddie house, jim jackson, barbosa, bell, brian grant, nash, amare, and marion great team.
@@ohhhyeahhh1174 fr we was one defensive rebound away
Kobe was just a different beast! R.I.P Kobe. We lost a legend.
Kobe was like MJ, wanted to be the single best player to have ever lived. No friends no hype nothing. Decimate everyone first, get the fame and money next. Rare breed what a goat
Kobe is gone and still has these dudes second guessing his theatrics and in awe of his work ethic.
MISS KOBE!!! RIP
THE BEST! Love You KOBE!
That was that perfection trait of being a Virgo ♍ 💯
FACTS
Damn if it don't 🤣, get tuned in guy, and im not even the same sign as him. Simply an observation
Last of a dying breed
its still sad he gone
Anyone else remember that T-Mac Vs. Agent Zero game. T-Mac dropped 62 on him. Absolutely crazy as f in real time.
Kobe is the real GOAT 😥❤️🙏
What surprises me is that this seems like just fundamental practice to Kobe and everyone else is shocked by how crazy it is
Im not a laker fan.. but im a kobe fan. HE IS REALLY DIFFERENT.. Specially his number 24 years its more wiser than the number 8, though number 8 is more explosive kobe.. Gilbert Arenas commenting seriously about Kobe is something special.. a great player gilbert, knows very well..👍👍 RIP Kobe..
It's important people know that the Black Mamba nickname, came from the Kill Bill movies. Inspired by Uma Thurman's character, the relentless assassin. That's how Kobe approached his craft.
This is so deep
I miss Kobe 🥺
1:23 background kid bricked so hard you can hear it
Kobe the goat of baseball his skills his mindset and his work ethic nobody is even close to him besides Michael J
Gilbert “Gotta memba” Arenas 😂😂
Wall sitting there like where is my blunt and Henny
Who would win prime arenas or John Wall.
Agent Zero easy
Prime John Wall lost to IT. Gil would eat him up but Wall would put up a hell of a fight
Gil easy
Gil but !!! John can slow him down you know when he puts his effort in on defense he ha size over Gil but nah Gil would tire him out it’s a wrap after that watched em both
The man that dropped 60 on kobe in his prime.
Nobody like that anymore kobe one of a kind
Gilbert is an outspoken individual
John is, as always, in a great shape
kobe learned from Michael....Jordan's teammate mentioned that the Bulls' practices were game-like intensity.
Nice vid❗️💯🔥
Great insight information from nba great. Arenas
Kobe was the real life Vegeta lmaoooo man wanted all the smoke...before the smoke got there 😂 it made him resilient and is the reason why he could score before/during/after contact smh. RIP Bean
I always got that feeling about kobe as being vegeta, and jordan being goku.
There will never be another Kobe Bryant....the game will never be the same.
@aj nap40 Funny...I was talking about his mindset...but you're a classic hater who backs this soft ass league of weak minded players, I understand. Be very lucky prime Kobe wasn't in this era of players....everyone would get destroyed and you know it.
@aj nap40 Again, I am talking about the mindset..... along with what the video was talking about, which is not about stats. Pay attention!
@aj nap40 ...but very few have it in basketball..... him and MJ tops that list....which is why he will always be missed. And on top of that, he's the most skilled player to ever touch a basketball.
@aj nap40 again, read what I said. I said very few have it....and him and MJ tops the LIST!!!
@aj nap40 This convo has gone from bad to complete ignorance.....have a blessed day!
John Wall: Damn that's crazy
Its pretty rare to see those kinda mindsets ppl put into. Its like they were born to conquer.
Love ❤️ you so much, miss you !
They’re talking about embiid down low in the post once the double comes.
1:28 buddy air balled 😂
Agent Zero was pretty unstoppable in his day very underrated
The music is perfect as it transitions
Rajah Bell
Tracy McGrady
Shane Battier
Ron Artest
Tony Allen
These are just some of the guys that guarded Kobe and got some good complements from him. That's rare.
GOATTT🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐 #LLKOBE💜💛
Love was different
RIP
arenas story about kobe is good
Gil had that in him. He was A BEAST super clutch. Wish he never got injured, that really turned his career for the worse
