@@willie8707 maybe he did take his own advice though but just didn’t have the skill level of those guys. Everybody’s potential is different in specific areas.

Baffles me that players in the NBA (the most competitive and difficult level of basketball to achieve) would be capable of hating on another player striving for greatness. It takes so much dedication just to get there and yet people are still able to try and bring another person down. Shine on Kobe ⭐️ you will be remembered forever. Your haters will be forgotten 🪦
And that's why like Jordan Kobe been 7 finals and only lost two as to some been 7 8 or 9... And lost more then what you won ..and like Mike it's about the win... Mamba! 5 Ring monster !

Why would you not try to pick up keys from the best so you then could become the best? Kobe was smart and worked his ass off and became one of the GOATs. Even MJ appreciated how hard Kobe worked at his craft as we found at his memorial. RIP
Y'all keep saying Dr J. He watched Dr J like we all did, but David "Sky Walker" Thompson was his idol. MJ brought Thompson on stage at his HOF induction ceremony. Not Dr J😮
@@RodneyPillows Yep Yep!!!! Thompson was from Carolina and was National Player of the Year at 6'4 (after Kareem and Walton) and National Champion for NC State in 1974.
MJ didn't get involved in a rape trial/case tho,just big-DUMMY-Kobe. LOL. On that fateful day in Colorado Kobe should've been watching game film or doing a 2 hr practice instead of inviting an 18 yrs old kid into his hotel room for a private one-on-one sessions ( if you know what I mean ) this teen girl was a couple years older than his oldest daughter.What a shame. I wonder what his young daughters really thought about their dad cheating on their mother with a young teen. I bet his wife was devastated,shocked and disappointed of this betrayal with a young teen.
That dedication is needed for success in anything. Kobe knew and did took pride in beating everyone to the gym and at the gym. The dude loved to know that he will be better than all those players sleeping at 5am while he is working out at the gym.
Kobe was the difference between WANT and DESIRE! Wants are temporary, you either get satisfied or you just quit. Desires require relentless effort and commitment!
Kobe wasn't wrong for that.. like mike is the way to go..

Who are they? Names please. So we can laugh at them. 2 Statues. 5 Rings. Thank you Kobe. The greatest shooting guard I've ever laid eyes on next to Michael Jordan. Not a lakers fan. But Kobe is forever my guy
Thank you for Saying the Truth Rest in Heaven 🙏🏽
Baffles me that players in the NBA (the most competitive and difficult level of basketball to achieve) would be capable of hating on another player striving for greatness. It takes so much dedication just to get there and yet people are still able to try and bring another person down. Shine on Kobe ⭐️ you will be remembered forever. Your haters will be forgotten 🪦
He was the epitome of hard work & excellence ❤
And that's why like Jordan Kobe been 7 finals and only lost two as to some been 7 8 or 9... And lost more then what you won ..and like Mike it's about the win... Mamba! 5 Ring monster
!
The most Accurate Imitation of a human being ever....
And Kobe was successful at it!!!!! May He Forever Rest in Heavenly Peace 🙏🏾🏀🙏🏾🏀
If you want to be like the best, you might as well act like the best. Well said Sam
Amen!!! Kobe had the right idea and mindset.
And the rest is history. Mamba for life!
What documentary is this from?
It's A Kobe Bryant Documentary On The Tubi App I Believe Its 81 after Kobe 81 Point Performance The Guy Talking Is Sam Mitchell He Played For The Minnesota Timberwolves.
@damienmarquisarcher2 also Coached the Timberwolves
MJ was a rookie on 84,kobe got to the league in 96 and still pass him on points,and kobe show us hard work pay off,you need inspiration kobe had enough of it,,RIP MAMBA
You're absolutely right big fella. That's what we have to do to be the best version of ourselves. Kobe Bean Bryant understood it, he wanted to be like the GOAT, and at the end of the journey he became Kobe Bryant "The Black Mamba". ❤❤❤
RIP Kobe.
#mamba_mentality
Kobe put the work it to be great.
A "ranDu"m thawt 🤔... if Kobe was a martial arts practitioner, he'd emulate Bruce Lee if he lived back then, with the way he worked at his craft... 👍
The Black Mamba was one of a kind Rest In Power Kobe Bryant 🙏
I. Agree!!
Why would you not try to pick up keys from the best so you then could become the best? Kobe was smart and worked his ass off and became one of the GOATs. Even MJ appreciated how hard Kobe worked at his craft as we found at his memorial. RIP
Finally someone speaking facts! Miss you Kobe!
He did
And who did MJ copy???? Dr J greatness passes to greatness
@@vincesample3136 yeap
Y'all keep saying Dr J. He watched Dr J like we all did, but David "Sky Walker" Thompson was his idol. MJ brought Thompson on stage at his HOF induction ceremony. Not Dr J😮
@@RodneyPillows Yep Yep!!!! Thompson was from Carolina and was National Player of the Year at 6'4 (after Kareem and Walton) and National Champion for NC State in 1974.
You said it, Sam. Kobe was working to be better than Jordan.
MJ didn't get involved in a rape trial/case tho,just big-DUMMY-Kobe. LOL. On that fateful day in Colorado Kobe should've been watching game film or doing a 2 hr practice instead of inviting an 18 yrs old kid into his hotel room for a private one-on-one sessions ( if you know what I mean ) this teen girl was a couple years older than his oldest daughter.What a shame. I wonder what his young daughters really thought about their dad cheating on their mother with a young teen. I bet his wife was devastated,shocked and disappointed of this betrayal with a young teen.
That dedication is needed for success in anything. Kobe knew and did took pride in beating everyone to the gym and at the gym. The dude loved to know that he will be better than all those players sleeping at 5am while he is working out at the gym.
Look at him he won rings like mike too he will always be my number 2 only behind mj.
Kobe was the difference between WANT and DESIRE! Wants are temporary, you either get satisfied or you just quit. Desires require relentless effort and commitment!
They doing it now with Tatum
Sam Was right they clowned Kobe for wanting to be just like Mike but it’s worked
Kobe Bryant was the only one not afraid to match Michael Jordan's talent.
Not sure he could quite match MJ from 84-92 Air Game! Still incredible though!
@@sew9068 HE TRIED! NOBODY DIDN'T DARE DO THAT! THAT'S WHAT COUNTS!
That one thing that kobe didn't have to copy from Mike was that fcking drive and hunger that edge that killer instinct
Too much like right🤦🏾♂️! Miss Kobe!!! And Gigi & sincere condolences to ALL the families impacted😔!

In order to be like Mike , you gotta give all your heart , blood and sweat !! Nothing but some respect to my GOAT Kobe ❤️❤️
Very true. Everyone wanted to be like Jordan. However, Kobe took it to the highest level of play to be like Jordan. Look at his career now. AMAZING!!!
