School doesn't proove anything. Its just a pack of stuff people think you need to know when in reality you don't need to know at all. Well maybe you do but not all that stuff... When you are in 7-9 grade I think you already know things that are important and in 10-12 grades you basicaly learn bunch of stuff that doesn't even matter - atleast to me at all... Maybe some things do deppends what you want in life but for me I just don't care at all.
Children at the age of 12, 13,14,15 etc they are well spoke, they are smart into literature, math, science, etc it all depends of the environment where they live and their intelecto.
He left school at 18 and he was very smart he is the author of some books, maybe he continued his studies though distance education, and I found out that he was able to speak in Italian Spanish,and other languages. He was a Very smart man.
He died early but he lived a full life because he found his passion as a child. It's just unfortunate he didnt get to see his three girls grow up but he lives in spirit in the true love life with his baby girl Gigi. I pray for his wife, daughters and the other families left behind 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
7:00 "You're okay looking in the mirror at your own physical mortality?" "Yeah. It's great...it's great...it's...I think there's beauty in that. It's completely fine." God Bless you. Rest in peace Kobe and Gigi.
He’s very calm and collected, well spoken. Everything he said had a deap meaning.. never bragged about his achievements. Very humble.. Love he had for his kids. I see a perfect human being than a great athlete. what a loss.
If Kobe is OK with his physical morality than there's peace for us all during this grief. His spirit lives on & he is resting with his beloved Gigi. May God keep his family & all lost in this tragedy. 🙏
I used to be a HUGE Kobe hater. As of lately I have developed a new found respect for Kobe. I started reading and watching about his work ethic, his mental attitude, his professional mentality, and his competitive nature to win. Even his arrogance is an almost inspiration to me, if you don't like him or what he does he does not care at all. I've taken on his mindset that he does not deal with lazy people at all
Divine StyL Same here! I was a Kobe hater from 97-2002. When I saw footage of him working as hard as he did after winning 3 championships, he won me over for life. I was caught up in Vinsanity, but Kobe became my top guy. I hate the fact I was a hater, though.
That final look in Kobe's face, a battered, tired and worn down man by some of the great competitive players through out his career. I was never a Kobe fan just like many others, but I have huge respect for his game and everything that he has brought in the NBA. Weather he become a champion again or not, most likely not, his name will be in the same sentence of MJ, Magic, Isiah, kareem, and all the other greats..
Roland Tecson I am a huge Kobe fan! I started watching basketball at such a young age. Watched all the greats play. When he stepped into the game I knew he had much talent at such a young age too. He became one of my favs.
What’s even more eerie is that the interviewer mentioned his arm falling off. Well in the autopsy report it said that Kobe did lose his arm. I think they knew what they were going to do to him. Even the cartoon that showed him in a helicopter crash. They knew. I think Kobe knew when his contract was going to be up.
at1212 b the same curse all of humanity has...we all get old physically...but our mind doesn’t forget how we used to move when we were young. I’m 25, I may not be there yet, but I see it through my parents. When I was a lil kid, they didn’t complain about body aches the way they do nowadays. The older you get, the more you appreciate youth. Because you realize it isn’t permanent.
Even though Kobe is not quite the greatness of MJ -- who just simply stands above everyone in his basketball prowess -- I think I respect Kobe more as a human being. I remember when Kobe won his second title in 2001 (LA only had one loss all playoffs) and I hated him because I thought he was cocky and lucky to be on that team. When he finally won his second title in 2010, I could definitely say I had become a fan of him as a player, but not a fan of him as a person (I remember saying those exact words multiple times). Now... I can 100% say I'm a fan of him as an all-around human. This guy has been in some dark, tough (even self-inflicted) places... and learned through them and became a real man. Few people can suffer the hatred of so many, suffer the failure as a husband and father, the glaring eyes around the world at every mistake, his own weakness as a man, and still overcome, change, and find beauty in the end. He is REAL. He inspires me to learn from my own darkness and failures, and to use it all to become something great for myself. Not too many people can do that for me. I'm lucky I lived to see it. And on top of ALL that he's still a top 10 player (just a tiny afterthought).
eskimo289 Watch Shaq when he won in 2000. He was crying. He felt the criticism, the doubt. He Earned it. Just like MJ cried at his first championship. Kobe during the first 3 peat was like a little punk. But when you saw him in the 2nd run (repeat), he was much more emotional, and humble because he knew how tough it was. Those ones, he earned it. (although Gasol is incredibly underrated in those victories).
I still don't wanna believe he's gone, still cry from time to time. Thank you for everything KOBE. You're a true champion. Basketball wasn't the same after he retired. We love and we miss you KOBE!!!!!
Kobe bean bryant, what can I say man, so many memories. Even if u don't like kobe you have to respect his work ethic and dedication to the game. Much respect man.
+GhostSpectre Actually, even Magic puts Kobe ahead of himself. Magic said that Kobe was the greatest and will be the greatest Laker to ever play the game, although everyone might not agree on that. :D
Looking back, Kobe is the greatest Laker to ever play. The things he's done to the organization is amazing and I will be forever grateful to witness his greatness.
Basketball will really suffer a great loss when Kobe Bryant retires. Kobe is an all-around amazing player. & will always be remembered for it! Thanks Kobe for all the great seasons (& the bad ones)
kobe ... wow .. you are awesome! i really miss the old kobe....but glad we got to experience kobe after MJ... lebron just doesnt have the same fire as those two
+Eric Yi no one got that fire anymore. the nba is plagued by money only and controlled by the league when it comes to stripes. although the game is awesome internationally. no one knows the game from back then. what the game really is missing is physical defenders. Curry is damn amazing. but in the 80s and 90s someone would of knocked him out by now. I know Bruce Bowen will definitely stick his foot near CUrry feet hoping that he twist his ankle. Dirty ass play. But in the NBA today there's no such thing as do what you got to do to survive and win. WHen Lebron's draft class all retire. The NBA is done.
You were my favorite player…….over Mike, over Iverson. Jordan was your idol, but you tried to assassinate him too anytime you got the opportunity. So glad to see the perfectionism that you embodied. You were an absolutely amazing piece of work, my man. I used to argue up and down against ANYBODY that tried to detract from what you brought to the game and how you performed. I’m thankful for what you brought us Bro!! RIP to you and everyone with you on 1/26/20
Well done.. Kobe the basketball legend vs Kobe the man. Equally powerful. His innate insight of understanding the transition of his life's journey is genius, from 17- 41 he grew and learned from mistakes. He moved onward. Peacefully resting dear heart. ❤
Kobe understood that the life he was given was precious and not to be taken for granted and he lived it as such. He ran his race the best way he knew how. It just sucks that he is not here anymore but at least we got to witness true greatness on and off the court. Thank you for everything Kobe. We love you
Rest In Peace Kobe. Thank you for being such an inspiration to us all and teaching us to live each day to the fullest. We will miss you forever. We love you. 💜
I remember watching this interview when it came out and someone said “why are we acting like Kobe is dead or dying” something like that. years later he was actually gone..
Kobe played professional basketball for 20 years all out and still wasn't tire of it. That's real love and passion right there!!! He inspires me so much!
I never really watch interviews of players but When I started watching Kobe's interviews, there so much one can learn listening to what he says. Brilliant on and off the Court. Great at giving leadership, motivational speeches and get paid like US Presidents do after serving their terms.

@@certifiedpoptartenthusiast558 LeBron James it's not only less physical than both of them he is worse in every way. LeBron James should never even be mentioned in the same sentence with the greats like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant LeBron isn't fitting to step on the same courts that Michael Jordan and Kobe played on
Austin Giguere it’s not time for debate anymore after Kobe’s death bro. A tragedy like this should teach you to embrace a different sort of greatness that LeBron brings instead of just comparing him to someone who in your opinion is better. LeBron MJ and Kobe are the best 3 players to ever set foot on a basketball court and lets be honest, it really doesn’t matter who’s better than who, it’s really down to personal preference
We take so many things for granted. NBA will not be the same. Just like when Magic and Michael retired.. Kobe will be missed regardless of what people think of him.
I always liked him I remember all star game 1998 great game he was young skilled won 3 rings in a row I thought to me he was a the greatest I stuck with the lAkers even after he retired...
the best thing about him retiring is the respect he will receive forever. God made him a living legend, and he'll be an inspiration. At least he can run camps and give back to the community to make a bigger impact then basketball ever could!
"You're okay with looking in the mirror at your own physical mortality?" "It's great. There's beauty in that".. That was hauntingly beautiful. RIP Kobe 🕊

@@certifiedpoptartenthusiast558 LeBron James it's not only less physical than both of them he is worse in every way. LeBron James should never even be mentioned in the same sentence with the greats like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant LeBron isn't fitting to step on the same courts that Michael Jordan and Kobe played on
Austin Giguere it’s not time for debate anymore after Kobe’s death bro. A tragedy like this should teach you to embrace a different sort of greatness that LeBron brings instead of just comparing him to someone who in your opinion is better. LeBron MJ and Kobe are the best 3 players to ever set foot on a basketball court and lets be honest, it really doesn’t matter who’s better than who, it’s really down to personal preference
When the end comes, I'm fine with that... What a mindset Kobe had. Rip to a 🐐
RIP Kobe. May he and his daughter Rest In Peace🙏🏻
“That final image”....😭😭😭😭😭 I think he knew he was great and loved.
I understand why he was soooo damn good....mannnn mad respect for this man
the best. rlly changed my childhood and how I grew up watching basketball
💔💔💔🏀thank you Kobe for making me love basketball. Loved him so much....may you and Gigi rest in peace. Go with God🙏😢
If you're touched by Kobe's life, God is communicating with you. Take time to listen.
Best.. Winner... EVER...
What about Bill Russell
@@browmaster2197 Highest number of wins ever is not the same as greatest.
Rip Kobe and Gigi Bryant 💛💜🐍🏀🕊🙏🏽
I can't believe the news today.. RIP Mamba 😢
"When then end comes... I'm fine with it..." Has a different meaning now... RIP Black Mamba.
Kobe's heart is what will set him apart from the rest. You can't teach #HEART
Rest in Power Mamba and your Queen. Such a blessing and an intelligent young man.
Amazing!!!! Amazing!!! Amazing!!! Legends are forever💜💛💜💛
Man this hurt💔😭 Rip Kobe and Gigi
I was watching all of kobe games, i especially love the ones with Allen Iverson. Tears in my eyes, rest in peace to everyone on that flight.
I can't still believe he's dead like WTF
We take so many things for granted. NBA will not be the same. Just like when Magic and Michael retired.. Kobe will be missed regardless of what people think of him.
Looking back at many of the highlight plays... Kobe really knew this sport. He will always be remembered as a brilliant athelete. R.I.P 😢😢😢
Heart touching..... that last look is priceless. Rest Easy Mamba
He saw beauty in his own physical mortality!!! What an evolved soul!
He will live on forever tbh
Rip role model! I feel that the man I’m today, part of that mentality do different from my friends is because of you, thankyou legend!!
Amazing interview ! so revealing!
Miss this man! He will always be the 🐐!!
I always liked him I remember all star game 1998 great game he was young skilled won 3 rings in a row I thought to me he was a the greatest I stuck with the lAkers even after he retired...
Once he goes, that's an end of an Era. He is one of the Last alphas in the league today. He's had a great career.
the best thing about him retiring is the respect he will receive forever. God made him a living legend, and he'll be an inspiration. At least he can run camps and give back to the community to make a bigger impact then basketball ever could!
"You're okay with looking in the mirror at your own physical mortality?"
"It's great. There's beauty in that".. That was hauntingly beautiful. RIP Kobe 🕊
Music is so beautiful yet sad
