Kobe understood, it was a privilege to get paid to play basketball. Not an essential thing for life. Not an option for everyone. But he played it like a real job. A career, a passion. I try to stove to be like Kobe work wise. We are all blessed to be in the position we are in. Let's do something with it. Mamba mentality brothers
@@khalidtaylor98no it is that serious. The harder you work the more you get back in the NBA. Most players get that check and become lazy or their work ethic declines. Kobe never was that person which is why the Lakers gave him so much money especially on his last contract where he was just injury ridden but they kept him the highest paid NBA player because of his body of work he put into the game and for the franchise. You don’t get that by being average. You have to do the extra work.
Once you ask someone why they do something they can logically tell you or lie Kobe made sense he literally said im here practicing non stop an they go home and Kobe also said in another comment that when we lose the don’t go at a you guys they go at me what Kobe said is right cause fans will complain about him not passing an then critize him if they lose because he’s the leader
If Kobe would’ve passed more & tried to make his team better he would’ve had better. Stats & accolades & more assists he could’ve potentially won more mvps &took his team to the finals again but instead he let his ego get in the way of everything which is why he has the most missed shots in Nba History.
@@user-fj9wj4tm9ui get what you're saying but that most missed shot doesn't mean anything. He just took a lot of shots. LeBron has the most turnovers but no one cares about that.
@alexedsell8138 so you telling me Shaq was the best player on the Lakers the last 3 years in LA lol no how was he the best player when he wasn't the best player in Miami the year after the trade D Wade was long story short if Shaq let kobe do his Thang like he did with wade he would have alot more rings
@@alexedsell8138Shaq was the best player in his prime because he was gifted physically in a way that made him literally unstoppable. His game in terms of skills had nothing special compared to other bigs of his generation or generations prior, he was just playing bullyball most of the time. Which is why as soon as he exited his prime he fell off very quick. On the other hand superstars like Kobe and Bron who spent the most of their time working on their game (working out, being in the lab, studying the game etc) kept dominating the league even in their latest years because they didn’t rely on their gift, instead they abused it by combining it with skill and iq. Hell Kobe casually put up 60 on his last game like it was an everyday thing to do for a dude on his 20th season. But it only is because he never stopped working. That’s why he said if Shaq had a work ethic he would’ve been the greatest player ever. He had the potential to be but got complacent.
If you go by how Kobe always does badly in final appearances, at least Shaq was always better than him in the finals. He had 1 good run in 2002 but besides that, mediocre for a star that people think he is. Thats why he always gets removed from top 5, cos he actually did badly when it mattered.@@user-mo7cg1vu7f

In my mind they are the two very best players to ever do it. Guys like Magic Bird Hakeem and Kareem all a very close second.
@@AuburnFanSince2010 There’s lots of elite players at any given time, Jordan was hands down the best player in the league every year he played. And yes, you can over train.

He needed to relax a little more, he needed to bond and build trust with his teammates a little more too. Encourage & motivate instead of just intimidate. Still wouldn’t have had to go out clubs and party to do that either. It would’ve helped his performance, stats and most likely another ring or two.

Winning games is hard work 😂😂😂😂😂okay. Working 10 hours a day living by paycheck by paycheck just to survive that is hard work that's some real Warriors. not basketball players that make millions of dollars just because they win games
This is why i loved watching kobe and lebron, both knew the damn solution, difference is kobe kept to himself and focused on improving himself, where lebron told mfs “ur staying here and doing extra if you want to win otherwise get the fuck out” both have the same mindset but if kobe ever told his team and be more of a leader he would have dominated the nba even more than he did, it’s one thing to be talented but another to also work hard and be talented at the same time, then you become something nobody could stop

on all my previous work, i work same as kobe.. everybody smoking,going at work sober and lack of sleep... and me im working hard, becuz if i stop working hard i will be sleeping under the bridge without shelter w/out food.. my mom and dad already in heaven... thats why i became a kobe fan bcuz i was thankful that there is someone like me that has the same mentality and determination... but kobe is of course more greater than me im just telling that im thankfull... bcuz this world is becoming worst so be careful, and Godbless you all with knowledge.
Pretty damn good when u had players the likes of smush for seasons or playing with vets at a young age that was scared to take them shots. Kobe fans ride and die with that 44.7% we gone walk out with the win more times then a loss big dog. Kobe da goat foh with whatever stays YALL wanna push. Just give Kobe a high iq big he proved he don’t need a SHAQ or a top 75 player and I don’t wanna hear about PAU trust I know how good PAU is that a laker for life but he isn’t in the top 75 and funny how a man got carried putting up the same damn stats as SHAQ 🤣 I recall SHAQ saying Kobe is nobody side kick I’m super man he is Batman foh with that narrative bs. Name a player Kobe faced he hasn’t just locked em but he dropped big points and buzzer beaters on ur fav players and goats. Idc about TEAM WINS AND LOSES. We talking the match up when guarded. 🫳🏾🎤
@kobeibryant4356 for Mr. 40% in the Finals? Who had to get carried by Shaq for his first 3? Who was an *awful* teammate and leader on almost every level? He barely cracks 10. MJ/Lebron Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Shaq Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem, hell Steph Curry *Then* maybe Kobe.
It's not that Kobe didn't like passing to teammates, it just depended on who those teammates were. Kobe had no problem passing the ball to Shaq, Gasol, Fisher, Odom, and many others. In fact, Kobe loved passing the ball to good teammates that he could rely on to finish the play.
It's been a few years now since Kobe transitioned and it's like it still hasn't hit home yet,it's sorta like not allowing yourself to believe the shit,even though you know,you still entertain disbelief 😢 rest easy Mamba.....
@@Jacob_Spanghow about go get your ass job. Stop worrying about these basketball players they don't care nothing about you. He was working hard for him not for you
This is why je did the second half of the game and only passed the ball. He knew his team couldnt carry themselves. Kobe is one of the top 3 of all time RIP
R.I.H Kobe! He was definitely built different! Loved his mindset when it came to basketball he worked so hard to be who he was! You truly are missed Kobe! ❤
There is this narrative that Kobe didn't pass the ball. Unless you had access to Lakers games, you'd know he did pass. He just had some trash teammates who couldn't hit their shots. To get an assist, the teammate has to convert. Not his fault.
He'd pass when they were heavily guarded then demanded them to shoot the shot anyway. He humiliated them all because they didn't even expect to pass the ball anymore and he would talk trash to them on court. He ruined team chemistry and even had certain players not even able to join another team. His teammates looked like they had fun when he sat on the bench but looked bitter when he got back on the court.
Yup exactly why he was the closest we ever got to MJ cause the mentally was the same you work hard and your hard work will show itself in your game, him an mj took stuff from everyone they played against made it their own an even put a lil twist on it
It doesn't make sense how do Kobe know they not working when he not around Kobe was just selfish and didn't wanna share the spotlight or the ball also them dudes made it to the NBA you had to put some type of work in to make it to that level
Some make it there and then just coast. Kobe kept tabs. The organization kept tabs. You think these pros just show up to your local gym to workout and shoot around? They have a dedicated team facility lol.
... huh. Just realized he is only one of the Greatest in the game of basketball, but he is a Genius just like Messi and Ali at being a man of Character in Being as well as in their craft when Being and the craft... Salute.
10mins before practice Barkley didn't show up to practice an entire season.. Shaq wasn't big on practice kobe was just kobe, being an asshole walking pass your entire team and not speaking aint cool
Kobe’s one weakness was being close minded to the fact that other people don’t only care about basketball, and that’s unfair to ask them to be someone other than who they are
@@henryzhao4622horrible comparison they don't work at home depot these guys are paid millions to have the privilege and honor to be in the nba where you leave your legacy if that isn't enough motivation to get the very best out of yourself and work your ass off to be the best then i wouldn't trust you either

Lol I respect Kobe. But yall gotta chill about how other ppl do stuff. Just cause you stay longer after practice doesn't mean a damn thing sorry but not sorry
And that’s why they or you won’t be a leader
This is why Kobe was Great!!!
Man, I swear, I watched this kid his whole career and if there’s one thing Kobe always had trouble with, it was PASSING.
So? Atleast he would score and win the game for lakers
RIP black mamba legend mamba mentality right there we miss you brother mamba for ever Lakers legend
My GOAT R.I.P.😢
Yall just be saying anything just say he your favorite player 1 mvp and 2 finals mvps in 20 yrs is laughable for the Goat
@@lamart3857 i dont care about your opinion and nothing will change my mind ok
@@anelvanaarde619 you dont care about my opinion but you responding back you a whole 🤡
@@lamart3857 well kobe have alot career point and if you see his work ethic,hard work,good mentally, a winner , practice all day, 1 mvp, 2 finals mvps, 5 time champion is a goat there is 3 goats kobe is one of the. 1. michael jordan 2. lebron james 3. kobe bryant
@@anelvanaarde619 curry not the goat but he fit the descrption everyone has opinion you should respect it because it inspirational
on all my previous work, i work same as kobe.. everybody smoking,going at work sober and lack of sleep... and me im working hard, becuz if i stop working hard i will be sleeping under the bridge without shelter w/out food.. my mom and dad already in heaven... thats why i became a kobe fan bcuz i was thankful that there is someone like me that has the same mentality and determination... but kobe is of course more greater than me im just telling that im thankfull... bcuz this world is becoming worst so be careful, and Godbless you all with knowledge.
PURE GREATNESS
Kobe worked and tested himself by far more than every one else so he trusted himself more as a result
All that work ethic and still only shot 44.7 percent smh
Pretty damn good when u had players the likes of smush for seasons or playing with vets at a young age that was scared to take them shots. Kobe fans ride and die with that 44.7% we gone walk out with the win more times then a loss big dog. Kobe da goat foh with whatever stays YALL wanna push. Just give Kobe a high iq big he proved he don’t need a SHAQ or a top 75 player and I don’t wanna hear about PAU trust I know how good PAU is that a laker for life but he isn’t in the top 75 and funny how a man got carried putting up the same damn stats as SHAQ 🤣 I recall SHAQ saying Kobe is nobody side kick I’m super man he is Batman foh with that narrative bs. Name a player Kobe faced he hasn’t just locked em but he dropped big points and buzzer beaters on ur fav players and goats. Idc about TEAM WINS AND LOSES. We talking the match up when guarded. 🫳🏾🎤
A diff breed indeed🥶🥷🏼.
Kobe is a true legend!!! 💜💛💜💛✌🏾 💯
He said it too Shaq, people don't think he wouldn't feel the same way to other players
He didn’t pass SHAQ the ball either 🤣 kobe da goat
Kobe’s top 10 at best.
He have problem with everyone. Nobody liked him and he didn't like anyone.
@@praetorian9823 u mean top 2
@kobeibryant4356 for Mr. 40% in the Finals? Who had to get carried by Shaq for his first 3? Who was an *awful* teammate and leader on almost every level?
He barely cracks 10.
MJ/Lebron
Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Shaq
Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem, hell Steph Curry
*Then* maybe Kobe.
Love that mentality that and him are dearly MISSED 😔
Do you miss your dead family members are only strangers that don't care nothing about you
Thats why metta was so happy when kobe pass the basketball to him
"You really wanna know?" Not, "I'm not an a**hole."
Is it possible that Kobe was just a bit of a sociopath?
Yep.
So what is Lebron? Lol
He was just a spoiled brat with Talent. He pretended that he work hard
I’m a life long Celtics fan, but Kobe was and will always be my favorite player
It's not that Kobe didn't like passing to teammates, it just depended on who those teammates were. Kobe had no problem passing the ball to Shaq, Gasol, Fisher, Odom, and many others. In fact, Kobe loved passing the ball to good teammates that he could rely on to finish the play.
It's been a few years now since Kobe transitioned and it's like it still hasn't hit home yet,it's sorta like not allowing yourself to believe the shit,even though you know,you still entertain disbelief 😢 rest easy Mamba.....
Yooo! To play alongside with greatness, you SHOULD want to be great as well
RIP KBB8/24
Some of the team mates didn't care if they won or not.
They just fine / signing the contract.
They didn't like playing with him and his attitude. There's a big difference.
@@coresofty winners attitude sure does piss off the losers aye
@@Jacob_Spanghow about go get your ass job. Stop worrying about these basketball players they don't care nothing about you. He was working hard for him not for you
01/26/2020. Ill never forget that day ever. Rip to the Goat and i wish i coulda met him.
This is why je did the second half of the game and only passed the ball. He knew his team couldnt carry themselves.
Kobe is one of the top 3 of all time RIP
R.I.H Kobe! He was definitely built different! Loved his mindset when it came to basketball he worked so hard to be who he was! You truly are missed Kobe! ❤
There is this narrative that Kobe didn't pass the ball. Unless you had access to Lakers games, you'd know he did pass. He just had some trash teammates who couldn't hit their shots. To get an assist, the teammate has to convert. Not his fault.
Exactly, how many open shots Kobe got Smush, Walton, Cook, Vucecic. Shit Kwame couldn't even catch the ball and if he did it was fumbled out of bounds
He'd pass when they were heavily guarded then demanded them to shoot the shot anyway. He humiliated them all because they didn't even expect to pass the ball anymore and he would talk trash to them on court. He ruined team chemistry and even had certain players not even able to join another team. His teammates looked like they had fun when he sat on the bench but looked bitter when he got back on the court.
@@coresofty facts
@@coresoftynotice how he didn’t reply to your comment because it’s nothing but fax
If I was in a team with Kobe I'd work out with them either way as we will never get better if we don't work harder then what we are doing regularly.
Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant will forever be my legends 💯💯💯✨✨✨
timmy duncan fit's into my thoughts as well
@@Jacob_Spang Not even in the same universe
@@zvonkosolin8627 lolol 5 rings with a roster change-up mid career. He seemed to have ushered in the euro dominance.
@@Jacob_Spang Kob is a whole new ball game to Timmy
Nope MJ didn't practice that hard. MJ was out gambling all night. Then still was able to put up 50. It's not the same
Still can’t believe he is gone.
R.I.P Mamba. TOP 10 ALL TIME.
God bless Kobe's mom, dad, children and wife.
I'm so hurt for you and Gigi to be gone too soon! I miss yall!
"My teammates got problems cause they don't practice 4 times a day and don't sleep 3 hours a night for decades"-Kobe
Yup exactly why he was the closest we ever got to MJ cause the mentally was the same you work hard and your hard work will show itself in your game, him an mj took stuff from everyone they played against made it their own an even put a lil twist on it
Kobe was HIM!!! R.I.PARADISE G.O.A.T.
If u had a life outside basketball, u dont deserve the ball. Is that about right?
It doesn't make sense how do Kobe know they not working when he not around
Kobe was just selfish and didn't wanna share the spotlight or the ball also them dudes made it to the NBA you had to put some type of work in to make it to that level
see ? the world is exactly this.....some of us want to be like Kobe , other dudes want to be like the others
Some make it there and then just coast. Kobe kept tabs. The organization kept tabs. You think these pros just show up to your local gym to workout and shoot around? They have a dedicated team facility lol.
It’s crazy how serious we take sports.
... huh. Just realized he is only one of the Greatest in the game of basketball, but he is a Genius just like Messi and Ali at being a man of Character in Being as well as in their craft when Being and the craft... Salute.
Lets break it down even more - I’m sure SHAQ showed this kinda work ethic. And it stuck with Kobe as the standard for what he wanted in a teammate.
That's probably accurate
@@robmontana7451 💯🙏🏾
10mins before practice Barkley didn't show up to practice an entire season.. Shaq wasn't big on practice kobe was just kobe, being an asshole walking pass your entire team and not speaking aint cool
When your doing all the heavy lifting and your team mates aren't prepared to do the same
Kobe has more rings than both of them no room for anything but perfection with him
Exactly why Barkley doesn’t have a ring and Shaq only has 4
RIP,KOBE ONE OF THE GREATEST BASKETBALL PLAYERS EVER 😃👍
I used to dislike Kobe for that, now I understand and I respect his actions! RIP
busted his ass to shoot less than 45% could ever match jordan or lebrons 50%
Lebron can’t match his rings or the fact that kobe didn’t have to ring chase with different teams cause it was too hard to do it on one team
I can watch this forever Kobe in a nutshell ❤😢
Kobe was the greatest. He is with the Angels.
Kobe’s one weakness was being close minded to the fact that other people don’t only care about basketball, and that’s unfair to ask them to be someone other than who they are
To me it's like if your coworkers are lazy. I trust the hardworking coworkers more than the lazy ones
@@DarkMarkison I think it’s more like a workaholic manager that roasts people for not working weekends
@@henryzhao4622horrible comparison they don't work at home depot these guys are paid millions to have the privilege and honor to be in the nba where you leave your legacy if that isn't enough motivation to get the very best out of yourself and work your ass off to be the best then i wouldn't trust you either
@@eddiegarcia8040 showing up on time and leaving on time is plenty isn’t it
@@henryzhao4622no the fuck it's not. You're not learning enough to be prepared for the pressure of the game by just showing up for a few hours. Players like Ben Simmons and John Wall are PERFECT examples of that.
That's why we loved him...
This why he DAGOAT. That fela mental was built different.
@@kobeibryant4356 💯💯💯
Do you have the same love for your dead family members only to strangers that didn't care nothing about you
@@jacktheripper-gj1hx 🤡🤡🤡 be quiet man
Wish Kobe was here RIP to one of the greatest
