@@MaxGuttsait Kobe > Jordan... & I say that as an old head that grew up watching Jordan. Kobe managed to be the goat while staying humble off the court. Jordan is known for 💩-tting on his fans & admirers & just generally being a bad person on & off the court. for a long time I thought it was Jordan, but Kobe is the real goat.
@@MaxGuttsait i can agree with that. everybody is inspired by somebody. same way we wouldn't have michael jackson without james brown. every goat was inspired by somebody.
A single tear dropped down my face when he said "what's there to be happy about jobs not finished" it's at that moment you understand how much of a badass Kobe was
How come his mindset couldn't put up a single shot in the second half of gm 7 in '06 against the Sun? He go his panites in a bunch cuz the media said he was ball hogging and he cost his team the series. MJ would have put up even more pts and won the gm to prove the media wrong. Kobe sabotaged his team to prove a pt.
I saw that Achilles tear moment live... I was flabbergasted, it was the most inspirational thing I have ever witnessed. People DO NOT WALK after tearing the Achilles. There is no tension on the back part of your leg. It would feel like the back part of your leg is on the ground... for him to put mind over matter... that was something to behold. I mean, a dislocated finger happens. Many people have popped it back in and played on... but a tore Achilles usually calls for a stretcher/ cart to move them... it was like watching Jesus walk on water... almost.
I guess it depends on the person. I walked on it after it happened to me in a football match. It felt really weird , felt like my left foot was pudding all of a sudden. Anyways, it's a really nasty injury , because it takes alot of time to heal.
Kobe rupturing his achilles was always emotional for me. He walked to the freethrow line with ruptured achilles, drained 2 fts, and walked out of the court. Kobe was always the tough guy to beat.
I still like the time he fractured his index finger, put a splint on that shit, and won the Finals MVP shooting on the broken finger the entire playoffs in 2009
I started watching basketball because of Kobe. Just a 13 year old flipping through the channels and seeing him and Shaq going off in the 2000 NBA finals vs the Pacers. It wasn't until 6 months later I saw videos of Jordan and the Bulls win 6 consecutive titles with two 3 peats. Although that was very impressive, I always thought Kobe was my generations Jordan. I was a young chubby teenager before I got on a basketball court and tried to duplicate his moves, lost weight and became "Baby Kobe" by my peers because I played just like him. I even had the mamba mentality when it came down to the clutch along with the "must win attitude. He is the reason I put my playstation controller down, got off my fat ass and laced up a pair of nikes to play basketball. Just developing a passion for the game and being competitive helped me apply that towards my everyday life as an adult. Im 35 now with a wife, 3 daughters and son and they've watched me cheer Kobe on all the way to his very last game. They've even seen me break down when he passed because it felt like I lost a big brother that showed me alot over the years on and off the court. While people til this day debate who is or was the goat between, Jordan, Kobe or Lebron, my goat is the man that impacted my life the most and that will always be Kobe. #mamba4ever
Congrats my man,your example should have been followed by millions of others,i believe society in America would have been much more strong, resilient, masculine,had it applied Kobe's mindset.Instead,today we have tik-tokers spreading degeneracy,and on the other extreme,liars like Andrew Tate
Kobe walking to drain the free throws, and then by himself to the sideline afterwards makes me cry every time. He's my legend, my goat. He's the definition of heart and will.
You see the team living by that right now in the playoffs. I have never seen LeBron so unenthusiastic at a conference title celebration. Dwight is a new form of Dwight, AD is a straight up beast, and that entire team is living by the jobs not finished mentality. Mamba lives on in spirit.
5:06 ruptures his achilles tendon. Walks to the free throw line sinks two free throws, and then walks off the court.. Kobes inspiration will never be forgotten! ❤️ 💯
now that was hard. that is an extremely painful injury. that proves how elite Kobe was. not popping your finger back in I'm sick of seeing that kind of thing in sports.
Mf's now be talking about load management and flopping like its soccer and shit. Kobe gets an Achilles tear and makes 2 ft and walks off on his own power.
@@dogabutila I understand how you feel and the situation does represent Kobe’s toughness but this is not a situation to use in favor of canceling load management. Matter of fact maybe if kobe had load managed he wouldn’t have had that career altering injury. In the players shoes I would take a couple games on the bench over getting hurt out there just so strangers on TH-cam can flex my “legacy”
The real Mamba mentality is his relentlessness and not refusing to lose. I've watch a lot of Laker games that i almost want to throw our tv because they are losing. But with Kobe's tenacity, he will take over games that we already think that is a losing game and still overturn it to a W. That's the real Mamba mentality.
"job's not finished"... "job finished?"... "I don't think so" 😂😂 Thats one of the greatest responses I ever heard!! Like Allen Iverson's "practice" rant!!!
This man is inspiring me to go beyond myself. To try and become stronger, both mentally and physically. To have the champion's mindset. The Mamba mindset. RIP you legend, inspiring people beyond the grave.
What made Kobe's mindset so special is because he's determine to get the job done even if its a W or L. Cuz if you win, on to the next one, and if you lose, then win the next one, simple as that...
The quote that motivates me till this day is when he said,”Don’t rest in the middle rest in the end.” Literally every time I feel like stopping at the gym I think about that. Rip king
This man taught me sm. these past few years especially. Growing up, I’m 20 now but just watching videos and hearing him talking about certain things helped me develop a great mindset. He brought out a competitive side of me I didn’t know I had. & he armored my mind. All while being dead too. Big inspiration to others as well. Thank you kobe rest easy.
“Growing up, I’m 20 now but…” -every one of us when we were young, unaware kids. (This isn’t a knock on you, just a comment on a very relatable experience that we all have at one time or another).
@@salatalar8343 nah that team played with no sense of pride. Celebrating on court just bc your in LA but getting mopped all season. Kobe carried a standard for over a decade and some NBA misfits wanted to walk in there be trash and be clowns at the same time.

I heard a story about Kobe at six yo in Italy He entered the game and scored 6 straight points in a few minutes He literally stopped everyone from touching the ball Score the point full court press on the point guard steal and score again Literally everyone from both team couldn't play because he was already winning without needing any help 1 vs 5 The coach was forced by the angry parents of both team to bench Kobe for the rest of the game And Lil mamba cried on the bench the rest of the game In an Italian interview he spoke To be not good but to be the greatest you need to sacrifice Friends asked me let's go to this party nope gotta have shooting practice Let's hangout after school nope there's practice He was like this since he learned to speak
The greatest KOBE quote I ever heard and inspired me and what I live my life by is when the media asked kobe after all the playoffs all the training when he gets to a finals and he's fatigued and hits "the wall" what do you do? Kobe: Run through it. Rip kobe
This shows what a great player he was. His mindset is very admirable. He is one of the best who ever played this game, on and beside the court. R.I.P Legend❤
unsure if people truly know how much pain it is to have that injury and still knock down those free throws, his thirst for the game was literally not human.
Razeeq623 That’s literally the way I would have thought it happened on the court with those 2. Kobe being too competitive and LeBron as a good leader calming him down. Too bad we we never saw them play together in the NBA, or against each other in the finals. Would have been dope to see
Reserving your happiness and excitement for achievements that actually matter is one of the biggest signs of mental growth for anyone. Too many people feel overly satisfied with small wins, and although those certainly can be celebrated, it's best to wait until all is set and done.
Chills from start to finish. This man's mentality was unmatched. I strive to have that same mindset in being unstoppable. I think everyone watching this video and reading these comments wants that for themselves. I pray we all put in the work to manifest the mamba mentality in our lives. #Mamba4ever
@@Jay-om8gr no I just said that cause everyone knows Kobe's a Polyglot (a person who speaks several languages) and it doesn't matter what team he plays against he would trash talk anyone of any nation in their language Like what he said to Luka in his native tone
Wow, came across this video. Seeing Kobe walk off the court with a torn Achilles… goosebumps man. Honestly, as crazy as it sounds… he’s soo underrated!!
@@keithjoseph128 I'll trade that for five rings any day. Plenty of players who play this same exact way and can't come close to getting their fans even one ring
@@mariomartins2694 that would be cool if he didn't lose four times as the favorite, especially considering he didn't even make the finals two of those years
Kobe’s the reason I started playing basketball and having that mentality. I’ve been playing and watching basketball since I was 6. Thank you 🙏 Kobe for everything you’ve done for me not only in basketball, but in life. You made me become the person I am today.
I met Kobe at a signing event in Paris with Addidas as a rookie or even before the season started, I can't recall but one thing is sure, we had no idea this small kid would become one of the best players all time. Miss the dude, still affected by his sudden death. He was such an inspiration for many
I think only him and MJ had that mentality. The will to win at all costs, to be obsessed with winning, can't teach it, it's something you build up yourself
@@leoh6742 parents? That has nothing to do with it. Kobe's parents practically disowned him even after winning a championship. The work ethics and the mindset of Kobe can be taught. But within yourself, nobody else can teach other about that. Obviously this went way over your head.
@@TrillMatic187 Your post says his mindset is literally something nobody can ever teach. And then your comment says his mindset and work ethics can be taught. I think there's a few things going over your head too.
This is one of the reasons I respect Kobe so much. He was destroying his teammates in 1v1 up to 100 (like keeping his opponents to single digits) but he still had the drive to outwork everyone.
I love how he and Timmy are looking at each other. That's a bond man, these two are basically friends after playing against each other for almost 2 decades, in the same conference. These two and KG was the perfect selection for a class in HOF.
That's probably why an exception was made to induct Kobe with Tim and Kevin in the 2020 class. Otherwise, he would not have eligible til the 2021 version.
Someday my grand kids are gonna ask me “why do we say Kobe when we shoot” then I’m gonna say “Lemme tell you the story of the mamba” R.I.P KOBE, GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN. It’s crazy it’s been over a year, I remember the first day I saw him play. I was at this restaurant and the Lakers Vs OKC round 1 matchup and I saw Kobe go insane, and from that day on I started playing Basketball. Kobe is my favourite player of all-time and he’s the reason I started play basketball
@@jakirohiro1960 cry myself to sleep? no no you have it all wrong. Well, technically you do. You see you think I'm crying because I'm upset. When really those are happy tears and tears of LAUGHING SO MUCH AT KOBE DYING. Hehehe you're right I can't stop thinking about him. How he would've been a quivering little b*tch in that helicopter. How he was soooo tough not flinching at Matt Barnes, but would've flinched when that mountain didn't fake him out. hehehehe
Kobe is the Gold Standard of what being both a Laker and a professional basketball player is all about! Kobe thank you for inspiring me to love the game of basketball and give it my all in each game because every game makes you better/ thank you for always making us get to our feet even when all odds were against you, for never giving up and for being my idol 🥺❤️🙏🏻 I watched all of these highlights and it feels like it was just yesterday. Remember Kobe once said that if anyone that is crazy enough to go head to head with me, is welcome to be my teammate and next thing you know, Matt Barnes and Kobe were Laker teammates 👌🏻
Maybe you missed the part where he raped a 19 year old girl and told police about his numerous affairs or his allocution to said girl....most fans only remember the 4 million dollar rock he bought the wife not his admission of guilt
I was always a lebron guy growing up, but I always come back to this video from time to time, we have seen guys that are better, greater, and guys that mean more to me than Kobe, but Kobe was just different, I will never think of someone the way I think of this man, he was just different, its hard to describe it
Jordan Clarkson learning lessons early in his career. Now, as a sixth man of the year, this reveals “You work in the dark to shine in the light.” A concept Kobe enlightened many to. Taught by the #GOAT. #RestOnKobe
That popping back the finger was savage! and Tim smiling at it was priceless....plus that ballfake by Barnes and the reaction of Mark Jackson on barnes not getting into kobe's head was one of my favorite savage moment of him....miss the Mamba playing!
"You are up 2-0 does that make you feel happy?" Kobe - "Job is not done." the humbleness of this man was legendary. its now been 3 years since this legend passed. You are sure missed Kobe RIP brother
@@WADEPH33R3 Have you watched the Last Dance, Micheal was the same way. Yet his OWN teammates said they needed that ferocity. Not to make them angry, but to make them animals.
One thing I respected about Kobe is that he played his heart out to the very end of his career. There’s not too many NBA legends I can say that’s done the same. Long Live The Mamba
You could end this video after 14 seconds. Sums up all you need to know about this legends mentality. A true icon of not only sport but how to approach life. RIP Kobe
Whenever I need the inspiration to give life my all I come back to this video. It's crazy how he continues to be a source of inspiration even after his passing.

He literally stopped everyone from touching the ball
Score the point full court press on the point guard steal and score again
Literally everyone from both team couldn't play because he was already winning without needing any help 1 vs 5
The coach was forced by the angry parents of both team to bench Kobe for the rest of the game
And Lil mamba cried on the bench the rest of the game

unsure if people truly know how much pain it is to have that injury and still knock down those free throws, his thirst for the game was literally not human.
Kobe never forgave Lin for sinking a game winner in his grill.
I mean he dead now so why does that matter
It doesn't, just a joke. RIP Kobe even though he made me cry when he eliminated AI and Portland back in the day.
@@andrewcook1246 how is a man death a joke
@@slumps3218 What does Lin sinking a jumper in his face have to do with his death?
this conversation is a maze.
*LeBron had to tell him to chill with the trash talk cause Kobe was about to get a tech lol*
LMAO
Too much alpha and testosterone for him to handle. Lmfao
Oh yeah you can’t trash talk in international play huh?
Razeeq623 That’s literally the way I would have thought it happened on the court with those 2. Kobe being too competitive and LeBron as a good leader calming him down. Too bad we we never saw them play together in the NBA, or against each other in the finals. Would have been dope to see
They was gon toss Kobe ass all that shit he was talking 😂.
Reserving your happiness and excitement for achievements that actually matter is one of the biggest signs of mental growth for anyone. Too many people feel overly satisfied with small wins, and although those certainly can be celebrated, it's best to wait until all is set and done.
Chills from start to finish. This man's mentality was unmatched. I strive to have that same mindset in being unstoppable. I think everyone watching this video and reading these comments wants that for themselves. I pray we all put in the work to manifest the mamba mentality in our lives. #Mamba4ever
Scola: Speak English, you do it better
Kobe: *Cusses Scola out in 4 other languages*
He did?
Jay Yeah in English Spanish only I think
@@m2s745 don't forget in offense and defense 😂😭
@@Jay-om8gr no I just said that cause everyone knows Kobe's a Polyglot (a person who speaks several languages) and it doesn't matter what team he plays against he would trash talk anyone of any nation in their language
Like what he said to Luka in his native tone
He should've learned how to fly a helicopter instead of learn how to speak that useless language 🤣😂
What an outstanding example of a man who made no excuses. Focus was amazing. Will and desire to win was always there.
Funny. I seem to recall a fair few excuses when he r*ped an innocent young girl.
People miss the point of that but thanks for pointing that out 💯💯
Kobe was truly special .. Thankyou to the Bryant family for blessing us with Kobe
Kobe really came practice, walked up to his teammates and said “IT SMELL LIKE BITCH IN HERE 👃🗣️”
😭😭😭
The real victim here is Jeremy Linn. 😂😂😂 both of his childhood heroes Melo and Kobe aint like him.
LMFAO
Only melo
Kobe likes him he’s just doing tough love that’s all
So what, he still was ballin
Kobe was mentoring him when he was in the team. Just gave him the mamba mentality
You left out the best part of the soft like Charmin practice when Kobe told Nick Young he was too worried about child support to get better.
Cold blooded.
I would've just left after he said that.
"Trade me, now, Coach".
LoL
Hahahahaha
Lmfaooo damn
@@solascripturaPR1517 because your a weak spineless little man!
JxBanksDaDripGod True! Dude Probably pisses sitting down.
Kobe is so competitive and i love it thats how it is in every sport
Not ashamed to say I had to hold back the tears on that last clip. LONG LIVE KOBE!
Most skilled. most hardworking. most inspiring. most determined. Most loved. Most heart. Give this guy the goat title already.
💫🐐💫
Marcus- XXL thats fax! He got every move in the book even without all the physical gifts!
I'm sorry but he's not the goat
Lmao relax buddy
I agree he was the greatest person I’ve got to see while my years on earth .. he achieved everything . True inspiration ..

Had to watch this again after watching Game 5 of the finals. RIP Kobe....a lot of people miss you....
Wow, came across this video.
Seeing Kobe walk off the court with a torn Achilles… goosebumps man.
Honestly, as crazy as it sounds… he’s soo underrated!!
"Grandfather, tell us about the time you popped Kobe's finger back into place during a game"
Sure! He came back and took pathetic shots with open teammates everywhere.
@@keithjoseph128 still prbly made them
@@leommmm7650 unfortunately for his team, no.
@@keithjoseph128 I'll trade that for five rings any day. Plenty of players who play this same exact way and can't come close to getting their fans even one ring
@@mariomartins2694 that would be cool if he didn't lose four times as the favorite, especially considering he didn't even make the finals two of those years
Kobe’s the reason I started playing basketball and having that mentality. I’ve been playing and watching basketball since I was 6.
Thank you 🙏 Kobe for everything you’ve done for me not only in basketball, but in life. You made me become the person I am today.
th-cam.com/video/elEvxpP8P9w/w-d-xo.html
I'm going to carry that mentality in college too. Mamba mentality. Anyone that challenges it can get fucked.
I met Kobe at a signing event in Paris with Addidas as a rookie or even before the season started, I can't recall but one thing is sure, we had no idea this small kid would become one of the best players all time.
Miss the dude, still affected by his sudden death. He was such an inspiration for many
Most inspirational freethrows ever 🥺💔 Love u Kobe, Rest In Peace 🙏🏾🕊
3:07 “Imma show you what language imma speak” DAMNNNN 🏀
The mindset of Kobe is literally something nobody can teach. Ever.
Only jordan came there
I think only him and MJ had that mentality. The will to win at all costs, to be obsessed with winning, can't teach it, it's something you build up yourself
BS. People that think those work ethics can't be taught end up being parents who let their kids do whatever or have whatever they want.
@@leoh6742 parents? That has nothing to do with it. Kobe's parents practically disowned him even after winning a championship. The work ethics and the mindset of Kobe can be taught. But within yourself, nobody else can teach other about that. Obviously this went way over your head.
@@TrillMatic187 Your post says his mindset is literally something nobody can ever teach. And then your comment says his mindset and work ethics can be taught. I think there's a few things going over your head too.
This is one of the reasons I respect Kobe so much. He was destroying his teammates in 1v1 up to 100 (like keeping his opponents to single digits) but he still had the drive to outwork everyone.
Yo watching this man😭 Kobe was the best so many memorable moments man
I love how he and Timmy are looking at each other. That's a bond man, these two are basically friends after playing against each other for almost 2 decades, in the same conference. These two and KG was the perfect selection for a class in HOF.
That's probably why an exception was made to induct Kobe with Tim and Kevin in the 2020 class. Otherwise, he would not have eligible til the 2021 version.
idk when Tim duncan was asked about Kobe when he was about to retire he seemed salty asf. He basically said idc about him.
I’ve thought about Kobe so much since his passing. He was one of a kind.

Had some tears watching this... Kobe what a legend
Pure dedication and hard work!!! Mamba Mentality!!! 💜💛💜💛🏀
LeBron tried to save as Scola from Kobe
“That’s it Kobe, I got him” lol

No hi gridiron g TC u ic hi just u ó NC
The only person i know that can trash talk this much and actually able to back it up! The F*cking goat no doubt about it.
Thank you KOBE for amazing moments! RIP LEGEND
Wow Kobe.. The commitment, the dedication, the inspiration.. Thank you Kobe!
The helicopter.
th-cam.com/video/9wwlwUNGWk4/w-d-xo.html 🙏
🐐💯🙏🏽
Aye you helped change my mindset for the better
Get right! 💪🏾
The best ever, I wish we could of seen him in his prime during this era. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
The way the crowd got up when Kobe felt the pain severely in his finger ❤ respect
Someday my grand kids are gonna ask me “why do we say Kobe when we shoot” then I’m gonna say “Lemme tell you the story of the mamba”
R.I.P KOBE, GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN. It’s crazy it’s been over a year, I remember the first day I saw him play. I was at this restaurant and the Lakers Vs OKC round 1 matchup and I saw Kobe go insane, and from that day on I started playing Basketball. Kobe is my favourite player of all-time and he’s the reason I started play basketball
Are you going to tell them how he was so stupid he went up in a helicopter in terrible weather? You gonna tell them a mountain clowned him?
@@badabing8152 I'm gonna tell them how a youtube user named bada bing cried himself to sleep because he can't stop thinking about kobe
@@jakirohiro1960 cry myself to sleep? no no you have it all wrong. Well, technically you do. You see you think I'm crying because I'm upset. When really those are happy tears and tears of LAUGHING SO MUCH AT KOBE DYING. Hehehe you're right I can't stop thinking about him. How he would've been a quivering little b*tch in that helicopter. How he was soooo tough not flinching at Matt Barnes, but would've flinched when that mountain didn't fake him out. hehehehe
@@badabing8152 atleast i got it right bro. Don't know what it's like to be obsessed with someone but you do you lol
I wouldn’t do that
Kobe is the Gold Standard of what being both a Laker and a professional basketball player is all about! Kobe thank you for inspiring me to love the game of basketball and give it my all in each game because every game makes you better/ thank you for always making us get to our feet even when all odds were against you, for never giving up and for being my idol 🥺❤️🙏🏻 I watched all of these highlights and it feels like it was just yesterday. Remember Kobe once said that if anyone that is crazy enough to go head to head with me, is welcome to be my teammate and next thing you know, Matt Barnes and Kobe were Laker teammates 👌🏻
Maybe you missed the part where he raped a 19 year old girl and told police about his numerous affairs or his allocution to said girl....most fans only remember the 4 million dollar rock he bought the wife not his admission of guilt
I was always a lebron guy growing up, but I always come back to this video from time to time, we have seen guys that are better, greater, and guys that mean more to me than Kobe, but Kobe was just different, I will never think of someone the way I think of this man, he was just different, its hard to describe it
Jordan Clarkson learning lessons early in his career. Now, as a sixth man of the year, this reveals “You work in the dark to shine in the light.” A concept Kobe enlightened many to. Taught by the #GOAT. #RestOnKobe
That popping back the finger was savage! and Tim smiling at it was priceless....plus that ballfake by Barnes and the reaction of Mark Jackson on barnes not getting into kobe's head was one of my favorite savage moment of him....miss the Mamba playing!
He made a torn Achilles look like a sore foot. Insane mental strength . R.I.P.
He made a helicopter look like a grave

Well spoken
This man was built different! I still miss him 😢
When my son grows up, I will tell him about a basketball legend Kobe Bryant.
1:40 Lin was scared to even join the huddle 🤣
Hahhahahaa dudes were patting his back like its ok bruh
idc what anyone says kobe was a shit teammate
Casey Gonzalez Lmaooo even if he was a bogus teammate that’s what got MJ 6 rings and Kobe 5 it’s the killer mentality
@@NicoBear2020 so treating someone like trash is worth it just to play a game and win jewelry?
@@WADEPH33R3 Have you watched the Last Dance, Micheal was the same way. Yet his OWN teammates said they needed that ferocity. Not to make them angry, but to make them animals.
Kobe mentality is insane wish every players or athlete like that
“Job’s not finished. Job finished? I don’t think so” will forever be a statement i live by.
Damn the world still isn't the same without Kobe. We miss you so much
My world’s the same. No offense.
They killed him. He was to put up his own brand.

@@sidedude1641 really? you really believe that???
*The saddest part of life is when that*
*person that gave you the best memories* *becomes a memory!*
One thing I respected about Kobe is that he played his heart out to the very end of his career. There’s not too many NBA legends I can say that’s done the same. Long Live The Mamba
Such a legend. My favorite and best platter of all time
You could end this video after 14 seconds. Sums up all you need to know about this legends mentality. A true icon of not only sport but how to approach life. RIP Kobe
So to summarize he was an asshole? Got it
th-cam.com/video/9wwlwUNGWk4/w-d-xo.html
Still absolutely stunning he's no longer here. I have such admiration for how competitive and determined he was.
I miss this man 😭🥹

Kobe Bryant: 🗣”Imma show you what language I’m gonna speak” Man Kobe Bryant was such a savage lol 😂
