@@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

@@invincible0463 agreed, but for anyone who actually watched Kobe and Mike know just how great of playmakers they were. They both sacrificed a ton of their games for the betterment of the team. Both could score every point if they wanted. Just take over the whole game, but both are winners and did everything they could to achieve team success. 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.
Kobe was just that guy who just went out there and did what he had to do he worked harder than anyone and it showed every single time when he was on the court that's what I liked about the guy and always have mad respect for him 👍👌💯
Bro tht was so deep!! That's just in life general pple want it but dnt want to do what it takes to get it & once they do they relax and dnt want to do what it takes to keep it 💯
I remember the book called “Ain’t no tomorrow” that explained the difference between most players and Kobe.

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
And that's a life lesson: if the people you're associated with don't put in the effort in day to day life, they shouldn't expect you to be there for them when life gets heavy.
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

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
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. 🫳🏾🎤
Miss you Mamba. Thank you for giving us real Lakers fans everything you had. Greatest Laker ever. Nothing was a joke, no time for laughter, only thing that mattered was winning, or giving everything you had to try and win. The game isn't like that anymore
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.
@@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
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.....
All of you saying that this doesnt make sense have clearly never found something worth dedicating your life and being to. Kobe did not treat playing basketball as a 9-5 job like how we treat our 9-5 jobs. We work 9-5 to keep lights on, pay the bills, put food on the table, pay rent. Kobe played basketball out of love and passion. He has even said that his practice and workouts never felt like "work", and that is because of his pure love and drive to get better every minute of every day. It's this love and drive that he NEEDS to see in his teammates for him to trust them, and if he doesn't see the love, drive, and passion then he can't. Is it a bit insane? Yes, but no one that is as successful as kobe is in his sport is sane. Ordinary work achieves ordinary results. Legendary work achieves legendary results, and that's why he's a legend and why he tried to push his teammates all the time. It may have not been the "right" way, but it was a method that helped him with 3 chips with shaq and another 2 without shaq.
Imagine you’re Kobe’s teammate and you hear that and he passes you the ball during a game. Must be the best feeling ever.
Until you drop the pass because you’re so damn surprised

Fake Love and fake people they don't care nothing about this dude called Kobe
I used to dislike Kobe for that, now I understand and I respect his actions! RIP
Exactly why Kobe and Jordan were so great
Still can’t believe he is gone.
Yooo! To play alongside with greatness, you SHOULD want to be great as well
RIP KBB8/24
Kobe was a no nonsense brotha
It’s crazy how serious we take sports.
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
I can watch this forever Kobe in a nutshell ❤😢
Kobe is right.100% . He did put in all the hard work. That's y he's always gonna be the G.O.A.T.
My GOAT R.I.P.😢

No work no ball...respect you mamba...
Miss your fadeaway rest well 👑 black mamba
Do you miss your dead family members are only strangers that don't care nothing about you
That's why we loved him...
This why he DAGOAT. That fela mental was built different.

@@jacktheripper-gj1hx 🤡🤡🤡 be quiet man
"My teammates got problems cause they don't practice 4 times a day and don't sleep 3 hours a night for decades"-Kobe
All his life is hard work and when it was the time to rest death came. RIP K. Bryant
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
And that's a life lesson: if the people you're associated with don't put in the effort in day to day life, they shouldn't expect you to be there for them when life gets heavy.
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.
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.
This is why the game will never be the same again
Thats why you were the best kobi because your work ethic Rip you left too soon i wish you were still here
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
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. 🫳🏾🎤
Miss you Mamba. Thank you for giving us real Lakers fans everything you had. Greatest Laker ever. Nothing was a joke, no time for laughter, only thing that mattered was winning, or giving everything you had to try and win. The game isn't like that anymore
Between him n Jordan. It’s like. a tie both in there game n there attitude
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
People wouldn’t understand Kobe logic 💯💯💪🏽
Thats a life lesson as well
R.I.P Mamba. TOP 10 ALL TIME.
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
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 💯🙏🏾
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
01/26/2020. Ill never forget that day ever. Rip to the Goat and i wish i coulda met him.
Imagine your coworker getting mad at you for working your shift then going home and taking care of your family
Working a 9-5 isn't really comparable to being a professional athlete lmfao
Exactly!!!!
@oldschoolpk you've definitely never seen my spreadsheets
@@pretzelday51my guy you acting like these niggas was good to be just coming and leaving
& when you do the bare minimum in your job, you don't get rewarded
"You really wanna know?" Not, "I'm not an a**hole."
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.....
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.
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
Really he wanted all the credit, He was a ball hog. Even when Shaq was the leader of the team he didn't want to pass the 🏀
He asked Michael EVERYTHING. I’ve seen him doing it mid game. 🐐
That makes sense to me. R.I.P Kobe respect
The king of the jungle in its truest form. Even tho he the mamba but man. No better detail of an alpha
All of you saying that this doesnt make sense have clearly never found something worth dedicating your life and being to.
Kobe did not treat playing basketball as a 9-5 job like how we treat our 9-5 jobs. We work 9-5 to keep lights on, pay the bills, put food on the table, pay rent. Kobe played basketball out of love and passion. He has even said that his practice and workouts never felt like "work", and that is because of his pure love and drive to get better every minute of every day. It's this love and drive that he NEEDS to see in his teammates for him to trust them, and if he doesn't see the love, drive, and passion then he can't. Is it a bit insane? Yes, but no one that is as successful as kobe is in his sport is sane. Ordinary work achieves ordinary results. Legendary work achieves legendary results, and that's why he's a legend and why he tried to push his teammates all the time. It may have not been the "right" way, but it was a method that helped him with 3 chips with shaq and another 2 without shaq.
Well said 👏
