God bless. - กีฬา
Damn I miss Kobe. Every young player in the league today lost that day, they lost a father figure, a grandfather figure, a role model, a man that probably wasn't even halfway into his professional life, we were all robbed of watching what Kobe might've become.
Well said.🐍🕊️
Kobe was assassinated.
@@DakotaScroggins I believe that with every fiber of my being
he bought a helicopter from a sporting goods store
#kobebryant he was from Pennsylvania and he bought a helicopter from a pennsylvanian sporting goods store #nba
Kobe said “we lost” in ‘04 and he wasn’t even on the team. He took USA losing personally
A different type of pride!!
None of that blm, anti American garbage some of his teammates fell into.
LeBron in his own mind. " Who loss? I Didn't lose? Ya'll loss".
@DOLLAMAC190 alright come on bron wouldnt say that this is his 4th olympics for a reason
Hes a American, its we for all Americans.
I love how he said “we lost in 2004” and wasn’t even on the team. Real leader
But it felt out of place
Great example!
Gawd you American's have such a low bar to represent your country. Don't even have to see it as your country apparently. Apparently someone who does that is a 'leader' smdh..
Duncan and Iverson aren't real leaders?
@@wilez3219 when did I say that?
He did this & then went back-to-back in the NBA Finals!! 😤😤😤
Legend🐍🕊️
That's a 3peat lol
When he said " I was having fun" I broke. This was my guy ! Miss you brotha. RIP Kobe+Gi
He was a different breed! The legacy lives on…🐍🕊️
In Loving Memories 🏀💪💛💜 #BlackMamba #BeLegendary #LALakers
Basketball isn’t the same without Kobe.. he really was a gift and inspiration to all hoopers
Agreed!🐍🕊️
I don’t even watch the game on tv anymore, remember when I used to rush home to watch Kobe me n my father loved Kobe I’ll come home to my pops watching the game waiting an knowing it’s me knocking the door,will ask him right away if I’ve missed anything an how’s Kobe doing. 💔 😢 Mann when we lost Kobe I got the news waking up from sleep. Ain’t get off my bed 🛌 that whole day. Miss you Kobe 🙏🤲🙏
💯% agreed with this statement. NBA after Kobe is simply softer and easier to play like high school game.
Realized very soon after he retired that I actually wasn’t a huge nba fun but just a Kobe fan. Doesn’t hit the same
@@twincities60I can relate to this. For real.
It hurts to see Kobe Bryant that he doesn't exist anymore, he had him all his life ahead of him
Kobe’s legacy lives on through the stories we share🐍🕊️
@@TriceOfficialYes but I don't like to see videos about him after his death it hurts me 😢😢
😢
I'm hurting, I feel like Kobe never existed😢😢😢
What hurts more is Gigi. Imagine her being the next Kobe of the wnba. I would actually follow her career.
I still think that Kobe basically created the 2003 class we know today. They found a gear that they didn't know existed. They learned what it took. After 2008, they became professionals. Taking the game seriously and working hard became not only cool, but expected when shooting for the top spot.
Really dope perspective!
He basically showed them what it takes to become winners. Almost everyone in that roster became title contenders and champions (except for a few but that was because of injury ending careers)
I hate it when everyone says Kobe only won the first three because of Shaq, not entirely true because Kobe was scoring 25-30 alongside Shaq.
I like to think of it this way, without either their three peat would never happen.
I agree. LeBron won MVP, Wade was great and first team all NBA, and Melo went to the WCF the very next year.
The very reason why I got into basketball. Miss you Mamba! 🖤🐍
Mamba Forever🐍🕊️
Man, Kobe is one of the greatest players of Team USA of all damn time 🇺🇸
Time has wings. I remember that 2008 summer and how bummed I was after the Lakers lost to the Celtics. It was great that I didn’t have to wait long to watch Kobe play again and experience a victory. 2006-2010 Kobe won 2 scoring titles in a row, MVP, Olympic Gold while being the best player, and back 2 back championships with Finals MVPs. Proud to have witnessed that run.
They couldn't have done it without the Mamba, he saved his country and USA proud, Another reason why he goes down as one the greatest players of all Time. RIP Kobe.
Kobe “Bean” Bryant will forever be my GOAT 🏆🐍

What a beautiful documentary! We all miss Kobe
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed! 🐍🕊️
Thank god kobe joined the 08 team they needed a leader on that team he was the best in the world at the time 🤌💪
Kobe hit the big shots but Bron was the clear leader on that team. Kobe was pretty much silent for the entire fortnight.
@@uncletony6210 bron a leader lmfao ok 😂👌
@@nickl4326 watch the documentary...
@@nickl4326 they really try to force LeBron as a leader when he can’t even Lead you in clutch opportunities
@@uncletony6210 LeBron was the leader the first two attempts at gold and what happened? You're delusional if you truly believe he was even co captain. Kobe was the clear cut leader. He was the factor to get them back on track. Not LeBronze.
Watched this video with tears till the end.
As a Malaysian who grew up watching Kobe, I can never forget watching him played celtics in the finals while teacher was teaching in the classroom.
Still couldn't believe he's now gone.
I love Kobe for one reason and one reason only. And it’s the same for Michael Jordan. It’s because they hated to lose more than they like to win. there’s way too many people playing professional sports that don’t think that way. And even more than only care about the money.
You obviously know nothing about Kobe nor MJ because both are/were selfish, greedy and arrogant
España vs USA 2008 Olympic Final was the best basketball game ever outside NBA!!!
That’s a fact!
I just remember Kobe going: 🤫
Fact
I'm spanish and I remember It as the best match ever.
Agreed.
Another banger Trice. RIP Mamba.
@@generaldiscernment Thank you! Mamba Forever🐍🕊️
I still can’t believe he’s gone. I grew up watching him. Imagine how fucked up I was the day he died, his last game I kept tearing up because I knew this was the last time I’d ever watch him play
For real Kobe Bean Bryant will never die! His legacy lives on #BLACKMAMBA
hope so,,, you know how bron stans trying to kill his legacy
Mamba Forever🐍🕊️
@@bekimcachero4683it'll never happen bro no matter how much the media and their kult followers say Kobe Bryant's legacy will always be intact
Mamba mentality not only in sports, but also in all aspect in LIFE.
Facts!
Thank you for your interpretation of this "operation".
I've just realised that this was right after the finals against Boston.
Remember watching the olympic final live. This one was intense, a great moment of ball. And the mamba was here when needed.
Glad you enjoyed!
Kobe > LeBron EASILY. Kobe taught Bron, Wade, Melo etc how to really work. His work ethic was contagious.
Why even make it about that ...just appreciate both talents
I’ve always said that
Yeah obviously despite Lebron's alienlike talent, Kobe's mindset is what separates him a little bit. Some people like Lebron are JUST NOT natural leaders. Kobe is a natural monster and the only player in the league that reminds of Kobe is Luka.
@@blicleak1101literal delusion
@@blicleak1101 "Lebron are JUST NOT natural leaders"
the fuck are you talking about? Lebron literally lead the cavs, not just in points but in leadership ability, over the 72-9 GSW after being down 3-1
He also Led the big 3 Miami team, and don't say that was dwayne's team he stated him self that he gave the leadership role to lebron after the 2011 loss.
Never was 2 alphas on that team. Kobe is the one true alpha. It showed in the gold medal game
bron beat kobe 16-6... kobe was the least of brons problems.. one alpha named LeBron James b*tch.. didnt need tim donaghy to rig our games
Great point
LMAO OUT OF ALL THEM GAMES YALL PICKED GOLD MEDAL GAME .....BUT FAILED TO FACT CHECK LEBRON 15.5 KOBE 15.0 SMH KOBE SHOOTING ALPHA LEBRON A PASSING ALPHA TWO ALPHA
Facts forreal
The game that won Gold, the toughest game, Kobe … period
"I wanna guard the best perimeter players on every team we ever played" Man, that was sick. Kobe was born to be a champion.
Agreed!🐍🕊️
He Learned That From Jordan
I miss you kobe 😢

I was a kid when I watched the original Dream Team, but I was too little to really realize what was going on. The 2008 Redeem Team was “my” Dream Team. Mamba Forever ❤ Great documentary, thanks for sharing man
Glad you enjoyed!
First off props for this video Trice, brilliant! Man I remember The Redeem Team 2008 watching Kobe "Bean" Bryant he came with vengeance on his mind, he was DETERMINED to bring back the Gold Medal 🥇 to the USA, he was so locked in, his defense was tremendous!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
The moment Kobe ran through Gasol and put him on his ass followed by Kobe putting the gold medal in Gasol's Lakers locker to send him a message it felt like there was no stopping them that year.
Dam never thought we would lose him its crazy to this day 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸 almost shed a tear
That's my DAWG... i always saw MJ in him on how he love basketball, and the feeling of their teamm8s we had kobe/mj, making them to love the basketball in right way,
MAMBA MENTALITY to pass the master
BLACK CAT to be the best basketball player that i could be...
Their team mates hated both
Beautifully made as always. You're great at what you do.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
@@TriceOfficial yea I'm watching it again now as I eat. I just saw you responded. That's cool. I first saw your book of Kobe Bryant. Your voice is cool and that soundtrack you use is the bomb bro it's trippi of an effect. I just saw the Caitlin Clark video a week or so ago. Watched it twice and play listed. I watched the Farewell tour Bean Bryant a few times and recently saw it again a few times. You have some of the best Kobe documentaries I've seen. It's hard to describe but with the introspective music and how talk about it like you were there it's a real personal feeling documentary. you do a great job man and I'm glad it works out. Your videos for me are pretty much on sight. I clicked this video bc I saw Kobe and Olympics which I haven't watched too much of then I saw it was made by you and I said ok yea this is "finna b good" keep making Clark videos and you'll have recorded her whole career. Anything Kobe and Caitlin I'm watching bro. I'll check your other videos out as I get more time. But your videos are now dinner fodder now.
A foolish man once said "At the end of the day, it's just basketball".
That man cramped out the finals, and since then he traveled more miles than Turkish Airlines. Kobe shot 2 free throws with a torn Achilles and walked off the court.
@@soloistdeve bron beat kobe 16-6... kobe was the least of brons problems lmfaoooooo
@@thetricky5569When guarding each other on iso plays, Kobe scored 20 points on 27 plays while lebron scored 7 points on 13 plays. Kobe had.74 points per play when lebron guarded him and lebron had .54 points per play when Kobe guarded him. When guarding each other, Kobe had fg% of 54% while lebron had a fg% of 27%. Be a a little specific next time since yal lwbein fans love to use "context"
That man knew damn well Kobe was a problem that y he ducked that man twice in the Finals losing to that sorry Orlando Magic team knowing he was gon get dog walked by Kobe.
@@SilentMovements305 16-6 tho bud Kobe literally won only 6 times 🤣🤣🤣 and they didn’t guard eachother when they would switch onto one another it would be mid play from screens… you don’t know ball and just made up those numbers 🤣😭 Kobe’s dead shorty
@@SilentMovements305 Tim Donaghy gave him all his rings gtfo even Kobe admitted it🤣🤣
I remember Kobe going and eventually most of the team going to support the other American athletes. The Dream Teams had never shown this kind of enthusiasm and support for the swimmers and the track stars and the volleyball players, etc. Kobe did that and I think it made the games and the win that much more special for everyone. God dang I miss Kobe!!!
From 2008 to 2010 KOBE played 11 out of 12 teams with over 50 wins... It's considered the hardest 3 year Playoff run in NBA history!
Mamba Forever🐍🕊️
The Mamba Leadership 🔥❤️❤️
🐍🕊️
Kobe saved LeBronze James!
Imagine if the coach trusted his young guys like Melo, Wade, and Bron.
Haha..exactly..someone always saves his ass..lol.
It seems you just didn't see that team nor the prior team, when Kobe decided get into the team he recruited almost every superstar, that team was not the same as the 2004 or 2006 team.
Not ever, LeBron was still in high school
Whose cutting onions man 😭😭😭. Miss you Kobe💜💛💜💛. This documentary expanded more on the redeem team documentary. Well done. Thank you
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed!🐍🕊️
him runnin thru gasol to set the tone was peak veteran experience and leadership
Don’t forget, Kobe is 31-0 in Olympic play. He’s the reason ‘08 won gold after the two previous Lebron led teams’ bronze finishes.
Didn't know a rookie playing scrap minutes is the definition of "led". Like come on thats a reach
LeBronze
@@anton3306ugh ohh. A fan.. lol LeBron led is correct..
Correction 36-0
Lebron didn’t lead the 2004. He barely played. Yall will make up any narrative to diss Lebron lmao
Mamba Forever❤I miss my hero man! 😢 One of a kind and someone every basketball player, athlete and non-athlete can learn from and be inspired by. He got the most out of himself. Nothing but respect for that man.
Agreed!
Mamba Forever🐍🕊️
I grew up a laker fan and grew up watching Kobe. He’s my Goat 💛
I love that fire in Kobe’s eyes, I’m drawn to people that have that, my youngest son has it. I tell him to have that Mamba mentality in everything you do, he’s only six but he gets it and it shows. Kobe is gone in the physical but when I look into my son’s eyes and every one else’s eyes with that fie, I know Kobe is still here with us and sometimes I shed a few, but I’m smiling regardless.
Beautiful comment!
@@TriceOfficial 💪🏾
@@Becauseimmeyour son is admirable. As Kobe was. Good luck to the kids who have to go against him in competition LOL 😂😊 makes us all stronger to witness it.
Awesome video to watch. Kobe was such a master of his craft, and all surrounding players really vibed with him.
Glad you enjoyed!
Kobe was the greatest none of the other had that mindset thats what made him special that mental
Man! Seeing and hearing Kobe again, man, just miss this guy on the court.
I still can't believe to this day that Kobe doesn't exist anymore. Everytime I'm watching his videos, I constantly get tears. I missed you Kobe, immensely!
His legacy lives on through the stories we tell! 🐍🕊️
I read all the comments and was moved to tears 😭. Kobe Bryant was such a powerful figure, truly an idol for humanity 🙌
Love seeing the impact Kobe left!
Explain exactly what he did for humanity ?????
Team USA needed Kobe Bryant
Kobe is my GOAT. He’s determined and motivated enough to compete in any era against any player. He’s skilled enough to excel in any era. He’s the epitome of a true basketball player! Miss dude and don’t even know him.
🐍🕊️
This video is one of those ones that perfectly encapsulates why I love Kobe and why he will continue to inspire and motivate me for the rest of my life. Great mini doc!
Love to hear it! Glad you enjoyed!
Time to watch the 2008 olympic basketball again
Ikr. Time to listen to some #johnnyx100 vibes 🔥 🔥 🔥
He show the world that he is the true leader of the best of best players in NBA.

Another great Kobe doc! Way to go. Love your Kobe editions and the one you made about dbook.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
Give Michael Redd credit too because they were missing a zone buster in the previous international tournaments in 2004 and 2006 since Reggie Miller retired.
Very underrated!!
It all started at the 2002 Indianapolis World Championship, playing at home but unfortunately in an empty arena, showing that the public didn't support their team much.
Even though it may be forgotten now, there were great players and NBA champions there, like Ben Wallace, Paul Pierce, Reggie Miller, Michael Finley, Jermaine O'Neal, and Andre Miller.
The United States lost no less than three games in the tournament, having previously won all their international matches since '92 with NBA stars.
Great video bro < 3, it takes alot of work makin' these
I appreciate you! Glad you enjoyed!
Kobe was so special, we miss you Kobe. The Bean is forever.
