I could listen to Kobe speak all day! He is so knowledgeable about the game. Tbh, had be a great head coach! or at least an NBA analyst! I want more kobe
I think he wouldnt work as a coach he is honestly to great and would expect the best from his team. Maybe the perfect team/roster maybe but i doubt any team out there is that with the new age players
the greats cant coach. thats why you have never seen 1 mega successful athlete become a successful coach. when you have an innate ability to just understand things you cant teach that to other people.
I agree Kd is hard af to guard watching how he handle the ball and shoot like a pg haven’t really seen any players lock him up and the fact Kobe said he was the hardest to guard that speaks volume to kds game
Antonio- not really, have you ever played anyone way taller than you like 5-6 inches taller? Of course he's harder to guard. He's 6 foot 10 to 7ft tall! This isn't rocket science. You are not going to block their shots.
Nakita Williams shut up, let people feel and deal, obviously teenager and older knows that everyone dies, it doesn’t need to stated. Btw, Another idiotic obvious statement, ice is cold.
@@jeffsamuels2539 We've watched him grow up here in LA and the biggest sign of change is when Kobe is asked a difficult or a somewhat challenging question, he would always do this mouth thing which I'm sure somebody brought to his attention cause he hardly does it anymore. He seems to be a little more open which Ive heard having kids will do.

@ChattyPablo Awesome response! I appreciate it. I honestly feel like you have to consider where ARod / Big Cat come from as far as their backgrounds when thinking about their questions. ARod's questions just seemed like he was pigeonholing Kobe into a box whereas Big Cat will just ask a question, like you said, to somewhat lighten the mood but also get the viewers to see Kobe Bryant in a different light.
I was 9 years old when Kobe made me fall in love with the game and being a killer hard worker, all while playing basketball . 10 years down the line I’m 19 years old, Kobe is long retired, and that fire that Kobe had bestowed upon me still burns whenever this man speaks GOAT
My goodness listen to Kobe talk about practice, attention to detail when defending KD, and the assassin mentality when playing Rueban...he was simply different. Give this man respect‼️ Top 2 next to MJ, and he’s a close 2
Smush Parker is a study in why you shouldn't give your kids ridiculous names (I know it's a nick name), because no matter the heights they achieve, there will always be someone above them who will remember their failures because of their name. Kobe isn't going to have a feud with Henry Parker.
Having a contingency plan means that you think you might fail. Kobes doesnt think that, he knows hes gonna succeed no matter what, because he works his ass off for whatever he does!
So glad to see Kobe doing interviews. I watched him for his entire career. BTW, I also watched Magic Johnson's and Michael Jordan's entire careers. I still think Kobe had skills that are simply the best in the league. His offensive and defensive arsenal was simply incredible, but his mind set on strategy and dissecting opponent skill sets is a whole other world above most players, not to mention his work ethic.
Yea, I agree that Jordan is the best. I truly do believe that. I remember watching Jordon pre-Pippen score 60+ points and still lose the game, but he was incredible to watch. I'm really just saying that Kobe had an execution of skills that I really enjoyed watching, and I don't see Kobe as a lesser Jordan just because they had a similar style. I see Kobe as a great player.
Kobe was more skilled than Jordan, that is just how humanity works, surpassing the next generation, passing the torch. I can't understand why people can't accept that.
@Curly Que - It's more than just "fog". The morning of the accident there were 2 typed of fog the pilot experienced. The first was radiation fog which allowed a 5 mile visibility out of Van Nuys Airport. The second was the sea fog also known as Marine Layer that occurred within the Calabasas Gap. As the residence who lived inside of the gap, while interviewed stated it was the worse Marine Layer fog they've witnessed, and these where people who had residence there for 10-20 years. It was a combination of not so great things happening within a particular window that this time around led to the death of multiple people riding in a helicopter. Nothing could have been changed or avoided that day.
Tony Allen was an Elite defender as Per Kobe n KD is by far the best defender they have encountered💯that must be a good feeling as a basketball player🙌🏻
03 Kobe was the best Kobe, he would've been better than 06 Kobe if Shaq wasn't on the team, Kobe had to hold back because he had to share the ball with Shaq
I always said he was by far the most mentally sound athlete, i've ever witness. Him & tom brady have a feel for the game i've never heard players speak on their respective sports so detailed. Blessings to the bryant family. 🙏🏿😔
My favorite Kobe, Smush Parker quote is... Reporter: About the 81 point game, How do you respond to your critics that said you took too many shots? Kobe: Pffft, What was I supposed to do? Pass it to....SMUSH PARKER? Cold Blooded!
@12:19 You can see the sense of urgency and alarm on Kobe's face as he realizes the interview is almost over and he hadn't gotten a Smush Parker diss in yet.
I grew up watching Kobe I always wanted to be like him I remember playing vs the cross town rivals in High school for the league championship down 1 last play of the game I had the ball in my hand the other team seemed to be confused about their defensive assignments which resulted in 3 defenders all going to the ball leaving our teams best shooter open in the corner and our big man open in the paint with 3 defenders around me I had to act quick I thought about passing it up to one of my open guys but something in my head kept telling me “mamba mentality mamba mentality” so I ignored my teammates and pulled up from 40 feet fading away and the rest was history.... I have never seen anyone brick a shot so hard in my life I cost our team the game and proceeded to get cut from the team and I have not played basketball since
It's all about paying attention to every detail, no matter how small or unimportant the average player think it is. Players these days can barely spell defense
04:36 this part of the interview is the saddest. His determination to the best and to have time for everything is what made him get on that damn chopper all the time. Slow down, pace yourself, breathe. Is like that old saying "Better late than never" Rest In Peace Kobe! MVP!
There's a lot of people who have the money files in California. There are a number of people who fly in Alaska, but since the accidents and even deaths don't involve a very popular NBA star, it's just everyday stuff.
I love how he breaks down the process he went through to prepare himself for certain matchups/teams. He practiced any time he could, but what he practiced and how he was able to know certain important key things about his matchups (back to the basket shots vs Tony Allen, short corner shots vs the Spurs/mentions Tim Duncan, etc.); that alone shows how great he was and how much he loved the game.
When you hear and see interviews like this you really get to see how obsessed and methodical kobe was. Counting down seconds and footsteps to when an athlete does a certain move shows his relentless of being great on both ends of the floor
Michael Schorle kir Kobe won 2 without Shaq and Shaq only won 1 without Kobe. Kobe was cheated of like 2 Regular season MVPs. Le’Veon doesn’t have 3 rings without Ray Allen and Kyrie. If Kobe was on the Lakers rn they would be in the playoffs

The one thing that he thought was gonna give him more time with his family was the thing that took all of his time away from his family forever... Tragic Irony
Little did y’all know Kobe forced front office to trade Shaq, the best player in the league, cause Kobe’s ego was too big, then forced them to fire Phil Jackson, so they even
Buddy The Elf If Shaq was the best player in the league, they would’ve traded Kobe instead. Kobe was the best player in the league, they couldn’t afford both and Kobe was on the rise while Shaq was on the decline. Simple.
Actually Shaq wanted a max deal, he was already aging past his prime and he wasn't going to take less. They didn't have the cap to sign both him n Kobe, so therefore him getting shipped to MIA.
So glad to hear this. I remember people bashing Jimmy for what he did but he was doing what any true leader should’ve been doin. His team couldn’t get motivated so he left. He deserves better.
7:33 This man has practice down to a science. Custom routines based on team defensive schemes. Effing legendary. Definitely one of the most if not the most cerebral players of all time.
Abraham Lincoln It all depends on the scope of intelligence and expression of the interviewer. It’s a different age now, it all depends on whose filming you now! 😉
I kno Kobe has a bad reputation for being cocky and arrogant but everytime i hear him speak i realize how smart he is and none of us can deny his work ethic! The man is for sure one of the top 10 to ever play!
Hearing this for the second Time since it came back hurt my heart .. this man didn’t wanna miss family time and sacrificed his whole being for them ! What a man , a father , husband ! Kobe was my hero growing up and when I die he will still be my hero! Mamba Forever
@j t sleep is relative to the individual and their circadian rhythm. Some people can get all the REM they need in four hours, some need twelve. I'm tired of people thinking their intelligent just because they know old adages like "you need 8 hours of sleep a night." Sleep science is far more nuanced than public opinion
Great Ball Player,Great Family Man, Great Father! An all around Great Guy. Legend! We lost a good one! #8/#24 lives on. RIP Black Mamba! Muxh Love Kobe. 👍💯
Most cerebral basketball player I’ve ever heard speak. I don’t even recall MJ explaining in detail this much preparation. He should call games. His insight would do for the NBA what Romo is doing for the NFL
He is the goat, dude. He won't deminish his icon by becoming a commentator. These accomplished men have the same ego going on. All they know and care for is the ultimate position. Nothing less.
i don't think Jordan needed as much preparation tbh. Recall that Jordan dropped 63 against the Celtics in the playoffs after being out almost an entire season and playing on a minutes restriction in the regular season. Then he dropped 55 on the Knicks after coming back from retirement and not playing ball for 1.5 years! Jordan was naturally gifted at basketball, just like some kids are naturally gifted in certain subjects in school. Others have to work harder to attain a similar level of excellence. Kobe worked harder than everyone and attained great success.
Man i am not a fan of kobe..but i like the way he speaks..his motivation and work ethic..spending time with his kids and wife..how he takes the practice seriously..wow
His attention to detail was amazing. Listening to him describe how and why it was so difficult to guard KD was phenomenal. RIP to one of the GOATS 🐐 You are truly missed 🙏🏾
It almost looked like Kobe wanted to cry when he was talking about taking a helicopter and wanting to spend time with his kids and take them to school and stuff.
TH-cam algorithm sent me back here again. Oh man, still cannot believe he is gone. This is literally a year ago, feels unreal. Ever since I see him on the screen after his passing, it just reminds me to be a good person and value the time we have now. Miss u, KOBE.
mad respect for kobe... but interesting in previous interviews he said T-mac was his toughest opponent to guard ... which was accurate since in his prime mcgrady could do everything at 6'9
Imran Ahmed tmac is his toughest overall, he’s said it like 3 times, but he said KD is toughest to “guard” because he retired once KD started to hit his prime
He couldn't guard KD but no one can really. KD is better than Mcgrady so ..it's hard to gaurd someone that tall and efficient. Tony Allen did the best I ever seen on KD tho
HIS WIFE SAID SHE COULD PICK UP THE KIDS FROM SCHOOL, HE SAID "NAH THAT 20 MINS IN THE CAR WITH THEM I NEED THAT!" Brought tears to my eyes because real dads know why!
Hearing Kobe talk about kd and the spurs and how’s he’s able to dissect their games is remarkable truly was a student to the game now he’s a master 😭😭😭🤧 RIP KOBE
Hearing him talk about helicopters gives me chills. What a father he was. RIP MAMBA
Yea that shit crazy 🤦🏼♂️ this how it started you kno
Why?
Max A cuz that’s how he died ... and hearing the reason is because he wanted to spend more time with his daughters is heartbreaking
Me too he was taking about the same thing that killed him

So glad to hear this. I remember people bashing Jimmy for what he did but he was doing what any true leader should’ve been doin. His team couldn’t get motivated so he left. He deserves better.
What he says about the importance of spending times with his kids inspires me.
I see a Kobe interview, i stop Everything im doing and watch & listen.
7:33 This man has practice down to a science. Custom routines based on team defensive schemes. Effing legendary. Definitely one of the most if not the most cerebral players of all time.
This man conversation is alone lights a fire in me
Kobe speaks as if the cameras weren't there.
Well if you think man you gotta understand hes been under the microscope for decades so an interview is nothing to him like it would be me and you
Abraham Lincoln It all depends on the scope of intelligence and expression of the interviewer. It’s a different age now, it all depends on whose filming you now! 😉
It was a privilege to have you Kobe Bryant!
Always remember that Jay Williams video talking about Kobe
Al Pizzle which one?
@@unablezhy youtube it homie it's only one

Bring that to your Details Segment Kobe! Man, this guy is out of this world!
Kobe would be a great coach, one a the best
Kobe. I miss you. Havent been able to really watch nba since the achilles
I love this guy man!! Everything that comes out of his mouth u have to soak it up.. by far one of the smartest hard working man
I kno Kobe has a bad reputation for being cocky and arrogant but everytime i hear him speak i realize how smart he is and none of us can deny his work ethic! The man is for sure one of the top 10 to ever play!
i cld watch this all day, Kobe is sharp.
Interviewer: Would you ever bully your teammates in practice the way Jimmy Butler did?
Kobe: I call that Monday :)
The GOAT
😂that part
🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌🙌
WOW IT'S STILL UNBELIEVABLE! HIS VOICE STILL UNFORGETABLE! WOW! I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU KOBE!
He's become such a cool, wise guy.. we're lucky to have got to see the Kobe Bryant
Remember, Kobe"s dad played in the NBA & coached his son from the first time Kobe could walk. But his love of the game came from inside
Kobe is the GOAT!!!!even in interviews he is awesome!!!
Kobe's mentality is CRAZY. #KobeDaGod
Hearing this for the second Time since it came back hurt my heart .. this man didn’t wanna miss family time and sacrificed his whole being for them ! What a man , a father , husband ! Kobe was my hero growing up and when I die he will still be my hero! Mamba Forever
my favorite NBA player of all time. great interview, kudos
He had to “Smush” the remaining life out of smush parker lol.😂 Love Kobe
It's really sad that some of Kobe's best years were wasted on teams anchored by the likes of Smush Parker, Kwame Brown, and Luke Walton.
@@SFK360 🤣🤣I'll give you Parker & Kwame "lil hands" brown but Luke was smart and almost always played the right way. True statement none the less tho.
@@CHAZZ08 Ha, yeah I don't disagree with that. They were just way better off once the FO added better players around Kobe and Luke's role was reduced.
if only the white mamba was there to help kobe. 7rings for sure!
@@SFK360 sounds like bron in Cleveland 1st 7yrs except bron made it to the finals with scrubs what kobe do??
How many NBA players are up at 4 AM? This guy is doing more work before 8 AM than most players do a day.
Oliver Miller, Kwame Brown, Anthony Bennett.
@j t sleep is relative to the individual and their circadian rhythm. Some people can get all the REM they need in four hours, some need twelve. I'm tired of people thinking their intelligent just because they know old adages like "you need 8 hours of sleep a night." Sleep science is far more nuanced than public opinion
Damn. The details. 🙌🏿 Legend
I love the sports questions by A-Rod... The answers it evokes really gives you insight about the sport.
Great Ball Player,Great Family Man, Great Father! An all around Great Guy. Legend! We lost a good one! #8/#24 lives on. RIP Black Mamba! Muxh Love Kobe. 👍💯
Most cerebral basketball player I’ve ever heard speak. I don’t even recall MJ explaining in detail this much preparation. He should call games. His insight would do for the NBA what Romo is doing for the NFL
He is the goat, dude. He won't deminish his icon by becoming a commentator. These accomplished men have the same ego going on. All they know and care for is the ultimate position. Nothing less.
i don't think Jordan needed as much preparation tbh. Recall that Jordan dropped 63 against the Celtics in the playoffs after being out almost an entire season and playing on a minutes restriction in the regular season. Then he dropped 55 on the Knicks after coming back from retirement and not playing ball for 1.5 years! Jordan was naturally gifted at basketball, just like some kids are naturally gifted in certain subjects in school. Others have to work harder to attain a similar level of excellence. Kobe worked harder than everyone and attained great success.
Please do more of interviews like this Kob
Goddamn kobe giving life lessons all day
Real talk. Kobe is a great dude. Met him a few times In Newport. Nice articulate polite family man.
Still can't believe he's gone. #RIP
Dang never knew Kobe and A-Rod were friends
I’m studying the #KOBESYSTEM Level 1
The nba didn’t want Kobe to get 6!!😳😞
Exactly why they vetoed the Chris Paul trade
Even though they just talked about how it was rigged in 02?
He would've deffo got 6 with a healthy chris paul easy
AJ RA No doubt... would’ve bettered both their careers and legacies.
AJ RA probably more than 6
Man i am not a fan of kobe..but i like the way he speaks..his motivation and work ethic..spending time with his kids and wife..how he takes the practice seriously..wow
His attention to detail was amazing. Listening to him describe how and why it was so difficult to guard KD was phenomenal. RIP to one of the GOATS 🐐 You are truly missed 🙏🏾
Tony Allen got me saying "1st team" every time I touch the court.
Sad to hear kobe talk about him buying a helicopter!!!!
I know, I just want to scream and say no Kobe, don't buy a helicopter. Just hurts...So sad. 😔
It almost looked like Kobe wanted to cry when he was talking about taking a helicopter and wanting to spend time with his kids and take them to school and stuff.
Well I cry now thinking about that fucking helicopter
TH-cam algorithm sent me back here again. Oh man, still cannot believe he is gone. This is literally a year ago, feels unreal.
Ever since I see him on the screen after his passing, it just reminds me to be a good person and value the time we have now.
Miss u, KOBE.
its insane how much film he watched making sure he gets every freaking detail for game day, dude was awesome 💪🏾💪🏾
mad respect for kobe... but interesting in previous interviews he said T-mac was his toughest opponent to guard ... which was accurate since in his prime mcgrady could do everything at 6'9
Imran Ahmed tmac is his toughest overall, he’s said it like 3 times, but he said KD is toughest to “guard” because he retired once KD started to hit his prime
He couldn't guard KD but no one can really. KD is better than Mcgrady so ..it's hard to gaurd someone that tall and efficient. Tony Allen did the best I ever seen on KD tho
LMAO Kobe's solution to LA traffic "Traffic started getting really bad and....that's when I started looking into helicopters " haha next level 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It was so cool then, but when he died from it , it is so devastating until now😭😭😭😭 those precious souls taken instantly😭😭😭
HIS WIFE SAID SHE COULD PICK UP THE KIDS FROM SCHOOL, HE SAID "NAH THAT 20 MINS IN THE CAR WITH THEM I NEED THAT!" Brought tears to my eyes because real dads know why!
The goat!!!!! This guy mentality is on another level there will never be another Kobe physically or mentally
Hearing Kobe talk about kd and the spurs and how’s he’s able to dissect their games is remarkable truly was a student to the game now he’s a master 😭😭😭🤧 RIP KOBE
