What a f'n Legend! Sonny Vaccaro created the modern Association. Too humble, himself, to say it.
Sonny’s story’s are always consistent. I’ve listened and watched him for probably 20 some years. SoCal radio and TV. I’m always riveted. He’s a good person.
Don't forget if Adidas had listened to Sonny they would have signed Lebron. Let that sink in for a moment.
Sonny V is a legend by every stretch of the imagination. His eye for identifying high-level talent at the grassroots level was second to none! Love to hear him share his story. Nike dropped the ball by letting his go....
The should of finished Air with Sonny meeting Kobe..
Sonny V the Goat 🐐 Finder! What a Class Act of A Man... MJ & KB Goats
That's 1 hell of a story 🔥
Sonny baby. if u know u know
2:26 Chubby Cox lmfao
Chubby Cox is Kobe's Uncle. It's his Mother's Older Brother who was a Great High School Player in Philly. He had a Son John who played at University of San Francisco
@@rayglenn i read that with an authoritve head voice... so i believe you.
Mamba
Where is the full interview?
Does Sonny use the Spanish slang word 'cojones' (ie. testicles) at 5:27 ? He seems to pronounce it in an interesting way...
"Sonny go find an athlete who could replace Jordan" 😅🥵
fore sure sonny have some stocks investment at jordan brand, nike, adidas etc. he is smart
Proverbs 13:5
A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.
As much money as helped Nike make with that one belief to sign Michael Jordan they should have him a small percent of the company and made him a life time job for saving Nike
💯💯💯
Sonny was a pimp
I think having a father that played pro, growing up playing practicing and learning from a pro may have something to do with it. If you have genetics for height and more than 10 years of training Id consider you a loser if you don't at least ride the bench in the NBA.
Kobe was a legend. This guy seems to be pretty interesting as well. Love the interviews😊
Sonny is a legend.
Sonny deserves his 💐. Man is an innovator for each level of basketball and made a lot of people A LOT of money.
facts
Facts!!
I also appreciate the fact that you are the amongst the very few who knows that alot is spelled as a lot.
That's a stretch but ok. WWWes
Give me a Kobe documentary/movie 💯
You got to have an underdog story, at a world role model, an icon..like babe Ruth, Ali, Jordan..is more interesting to watch. Kobe is great basketball player but at I see he have nothing interesting, kobe is not a role model, underdog story no, an icon ok yes.
@@blueland9770 Don’t necessarily have to be an underdog story. Looking at Kobe’s career and off court. This is coming from a Kobe fan not all stars and glitter.
Off the Court ! is he ever donated a big money to the poor, a hotel raped story, not even a college attended.
@Liyfa_Unpay . I don't fu..cking hate the guy, kobe a top 5 all time great, yes. Is kobe deserves to win more than 1 league MVP, yes atleast 3 league MVP. Is Kobe the best Lakers of alltime, yes. Is kobe better than LeBron, to me yes.
@@blueland9770 I agree with you all the way there. I was just trying to remind you of his entire career/story I think it’s more ups and downs with Kobe compared to Jordan “that we know of” a lot more drama playing with Shaq and post Shaq. The Allstar squad that lost to the Pistons.
Off court issues. Being compared to MJ and then playing with a new generation being led by Lebron
Some of things I’ve mention perhaps prevented Kobe from winning more than 1 MVP 🤔 The media played a big part.
Kobe should have had at least 2 MVPs the 2 years he won the title without Shaq (3 straight appearances) he was clearly the best player at that time . He beaten the Celtics & Magic which led to the Great Miami Migration 😂 and the rest is history.
This guy reminds me of Hyman Roth from The Godfather 2.
Great video and interview Rich! Would love to sit with Sonny and pick his brain for his knowledge. And for him to recognize the gift that God placed within him and to not be boastful says alot!
The movie “Air” made me appreciate this man so much. He changed the game. Big ups to him for spearheading the NCAA NIL movement
Great story. Choked me up. Anybody speaking about Kobe in an Insightful way always gets me.
Same here
Most of us from LA feel the same way
You aint lyin
Nike should owe him at least a share for signing the biggest person who bring them billions of dollar.
big ups to Jerry west also for finding a way to draft Kobe to the lakers !!
man! didnt know him until AIR! hes like the 'Michael Jordon' of finding Michael Jordans 😅 what a legend! 👍
Kobe!
Sonny should have just been his agent at that point lol
Goat Kobe 2nd greatest Basketball player of all time behind the Goat MJ
I know someone who was very happy the day Kobe passed away
His name is Nick Wright
I used to search for Kobe stories.
But aint a kobe fan, I like his mindset & obsession for greatness.
Dont rest at the middle ❤️🐍
After his last game, Thanking the fans for the down years was a very unique speech.
damn what a story
Dapper Dan the head of LV?? He had his hand in hoops before fashion
Bean ❤
legend defined
Some people are born different. For whatever reason God makes EXTRA ordinary. Kobe and MJ were some of those people. RIP Kobe and Gianna.
“That’s what I loved about the kid. Absolutely loved about the kid.” MJ doesn’t speak that way about a lot of people. If the goat of your profession eulogizes you like that, you did it right.
great interview.
Sonny is an effing legend
Underrated interview here.
Sonny ❤
the italian thing and connections. kobe sonny 😊 mf
or mafia of these two greats 😂
It’s a mentality thing he right you can’t teach that it’s just in them.
Kobe✝️GiGi= ❤ 🙏 😇 🏝️🏀 🎶
Arod said 😊
Kobe was getting hyped early so he didn’t find him out of the blue
To be fair, this was an All American camp he was speaking about. No one present was exactly an unknown. The objective was to find the next Megastar.
Good lord, did this dude go to school with moses
Pretty close. True facts, the basketball sneaker game today is nowhere near what it is without Sonny. For better or for worse... oh and also the initial lawsuit that created the opening for NIL money. Crazy 🙃
Who cares!
Everyone who clicked the video including you
@@silewis9396Exactly smh what a idiotic statement
Michael Jordan and Phil Knight became billionaires by ripping off people especially the African American population for charging over a $100 for a pair of sneakers. Shameful.
Cry me a river
Yep. Not to mention all the cows slaughtered .
So... your saying that MJ and PK carried handguns with them for years and put them to the temple of unfortunate people and demanded they buy their shoes? Where's the video?
So it's his fault that the mass of morons willingly handed over the money? Strange thought i know, but if they don't buy them, they become cheaper: you keep demonstrating that you're dumb enough to pay $100 for rubber; you deserve to be known as the fool who just parted with his money.
Peoe bought the shoes right? How did they rip them off if people gladly bought 100 dollar shoes
