Exactly. That's what I think about when I see athletes year to year only get marginally better. Most athletes work out, but Kobe was maniacal about it. If an athlete says he wants to be great and doesn't have that mindset he's fooling himself. I wish and hope Lamar Jackson will get that mentality. I was just thinking about Kobe's mindset with Lamar after the Bill's loss. He's got a chance to be special but average commitment isn't going to cut it.
@@royalmcmorris1211 Kobe said TMac was better than him too. Physically he had the gifts to be. I had a debate with someone about TMac's game never evolving, and relying more on his athletic ability. He wasn't a relentless studier or trainer like Kobe.
Theyre all just exaggerated. Tbh dude was a legend but the training stories are over the top. Your body needs recovefy as well. Working hard 24/7 would just destroy anyone.
Fab Five is the best thing (basketball wise) that ever happened to him. He also founded a charter school in Detroit. His career was respectable. For a 6 season stretch he was all star caliber, just never named to an all star team.
After Kobe died, I was stunned like most people. Such a gut punch. I didn't believe it at first. I thought it was one of those celebrity death hoaxes. Time moved very slow that Sunday.
5:50 Jalen’s perspective is always so good: “I could hear what Phil and the bench were saying...that shot, that championship started validating his greatness.”
People saw the fame with Kobe, I kept looking at the human element. I don't really look at celebs as superheroes. Even Jordan. Sad knowing a father had to die just being a great dad. A girldad.
That's what gets me too. The loss of the man. Basketball is like a side effect of what he was as a man. This guy becomes a great father and a basketball coach, a philanthropist, an Oscar award winning story teller, and on top of that he learned how to play Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata just from listening to it over and over and then mimicking it note by note. I learned how to play the guitar that way. But I had to start out easy. It would be like picking up the guitar and the first thing you learn is Jimi Hendrix. Nobody starts out with Beethoven. This man could have done anything he set his mind to.
Fr I got three girls and my oldest was hurt so bad she made cards chalk drawings on the sidewalk. Sharpied up her basketball.. made me appreciate being able to go to the gym with my kids and tell em I love em..
Nah thats a cap. If he wasnt good at ball nobody would have cared tbh. Like if it was smush parker or Anthony bennett it would have only been a small headline on the bottom of espn.
@@loverofhumanity Outside recognition (or lack there of) doesn't diminish a persons accomplishments. Life is full of people who are praised to varying degrees for their accomplishments or lack of accomplishments. I didn't know about Kobe coaching his daughter's team or playing Beethoven until after he died. You could make the case that, had he not died, we would have never seen that side of him. Nevertheless, knowing these things about him still gains my respect.
It hurts people in the NBA even more because you have to remember, Kobe talked to LeBron just hours before the crash. He texted Shaq's son. So it hurts them even more. Life is precious.

@@CeeWorld69 yeah that’s great. I’m sure that’s what Kobe would’ve wanted. Just wild that Kobe foresaw that situation. Definitely think his time with Kobe helped him evolve.
@@CeeWorld69 yeah he turned into a champion when he was no longer a star in the league and bounced over to every organization and ultimately won as a bench role player.

Like for example TMac never won a ring but he could have ended with a ring if the Spurs had one the championship in 2013. TMac would have a ring to show for it but he didn’t even play, he was a bench player. Winning that ring wouldn’t have meant half of what it would if he had won it while he was in his prime and was one of the best players in the league with his own team.

One of the best Kobe tribute interviews by a long shot. The questions asked were in this one have never been asked in an interview before. Yes, Jalen has spoken about Kobe not talking trash during his 81 point game before but that is it! Bravo Jorge, Jalen, and ESPN.

The epitome of Kobe, j Rose painted that picture perfectly. We wish you were here with us Mamba, 1 year is just around the corner, I’m not ready
Shaq and Kobe had their feud. But it shows how much it was squashed when Kobe was thinking about Shareef that morning. Shows what a great person Kobe was to think about Shaq's son.
Man o man I’m proud of Jalen, Detroit born and raised. Came a long way and now he is doing his thing broadcasting and with his own show. Crazy to think about but I remember a young Jalen, Voshon, C-Webb, Jessie Drain, E-Bibb, T-Burgess and the also many great Detroit Highschool hoopers!
@@oscarsox8612 no doubt! I played against him in high school for 2 years (including the summers at the SAINT) and that boy could go! In my opinion he was the most talented guard I had ever played against in high school (and that’s including J-Rose).
@Yellow Flash yes, but you know what I mean. It's not just about the rings but the Mentality as a dominant force to get to his level. It takes a killer to know one and kobe knew Dwight doesn't have any of it. Look at his career bouncing from team to team every season. He didn't live to his potential and Kobe knew it.
@@ngelwings Yeah Dwight knew he had a opportunity to be greater . He needed that weight taken of his shoulders. I'm glad he got him a ring with my Lakers. ✔ Laker4life)8/24
@Yellow Flash - He got a chip after bouncing from team to team, then (a) realizing he was one step out of the league but needed a check coming in to cover his child support requirements, and (b) Lebron pulled strings and got him on the team. Dwight was a talented basketball player who got lazy, and it's owners, GM's, and coaches who have granted him chances at 6-11, that someone who was 6-5, and deserving, could not have gotten.
The 81 point game is the greatest thing that ever happen to Jalen's basketball career. Because when people will talk about it not just in this generation but to all the generations to come, as long as basketball is still been played by humans. Jalen's name will always be mention on that 81 point game.
I really, really miss kobe, there's never going to be another player like him, he was just different, one of a kind, LA was very fortunate to have him for 20 plus years, not to many players stay and live in the same city they played in, he did and made an impact
Jalen, it was actually game 2 when you pulled that punk move lol. At least he's owned up to it unlike others. PS, that Jalen/Kobe sketch is one of the greatest Sport sketches of all time. Big ups to Jalen for not taking it so personally.
@@timoeltoro3991 I’m not surprised, but goes to my point. He understands that at the end of the day, history was made. He’s comfortable in his skin and in his career to not take it personally.
3:05 You can see just by watching shaq on tnt that his ego can get out of control sometimes. Imagine a 17 year old kid having to deal with a millionaire over 300lbs with an ego like that.
The craziest part of that game is Kobe had a slow start. He didn’t really get it going until the third quarter when he scored 27, and then he kept it going in the fourth when he scored 28 points. Jalen and the Raptors didn’t stop Kobe or slow him down in anyway. And most importantly, he got the W. *Rest in Power Kobe* 🐐
Its unbelievable that it has been a year on Tuesday, there will be No other like him..EVER!! There are greats that respect him, and those players have made love for Kobe, regardless if they hated him or loved him.
Fellow Detroiter, Jalen... Proud of you.... I went To Ford back in the day... we went through a beat down at the hands of the Judge... I have been a fan of yours since Southwestern High School and U of M... Had family on Blaine And Carter streets off Dexter. Keep doing you... I am now a Writer and Motivational Speaker... Take care, and Be safe...
Everybody has the exact same story about Kobe in his young years. He basically turned away “flash and fun nights” to go practice, all the time. That’s a different level of discipline and wanting to be great.
That phone call story with Dwight, Kobe already knew it wasn't gonna work even before they both stepped into the hardwood together. Still, happy for Dwight, matured over the years and got his ring. Wished he matured much earlier tho. That '13 Lakers team could have done it if they were all healthy and all their heads were in the right place.
That team was screwed the year before, as Donald Stern nixed the chris paul trade for no reason, except for not wanting the lakers to get better. NOP has gotten a worse deal from the clippers, than the lakers were able to get them.
Great video Jaylin I miss Kobe I’m just a fan but I’ve been watching them grow up for a long time and he’s done so much for me made me a better father a husband a person a friend and I’m a big fan of you to Jaylin do you have a great sense of humor and you seem like a really really true good person God bless you brother

2 things: 1) I gotta give Jalen credit for even admitting he did that on purpose 2) Nick Van Exel was the first to do that opposite “raise the roof”. Google it

Kobe really earned it. Started from the bottom, made his way up and became a champion. He did not come on a team that was rebuilding so that everything is freely given unlike other superstars. He earned his minutes. He earned his spot. He earned those rings! KOBE 🐐
Man respect to jallen that brand of basketball was competitive but very few would admit that . He’s so good u had to hurt him . Man I miss that man 🙏🏾🙏🏾💯💯
Jalen is just simply a good dude. His energy gives you energy doesn't suck energy from you listening to him. After Steven A Smith espn is Jalens World.
Jalen actually is remembered more for being apart of the fab 5 but the most memorable moment of his pro career is guarding Kobe on his Greatest statistical night
@@denzelbimpey9156 hes not lying. pau gasol best player kobe got to play with post shaq. and he averaged like 17 ppg with the lakers during that time lol
You just made LeBron’s point. Everytime Kobe got a star he won. When he was playing with Smush Parker and them, he was ready to up and join the Bulls. Then management made one of the ultimate one sided trades and trade Kwame Brown and a draft pick for multiple time all star Pau Gasol.
@@2Tall2ActSmall he wanted to join the bulls when he was in his prime because all those players were bums . Look at lebron he made the big 3 because he couldn’t do it by himself in Cleveland. Stop making it seem like lebuum does it himself

Honestly, Jalen is one of the realest dudes. Always objective. Right or wrong- he’s not in the goofy business. We need it lol. I get tired of the wack hot takes of the day 😂.

kobe was beefing with other laker teammates and punching teammates in practice, it takes 2 to tangle
the shaq kobe beef and the shaq dwight beef are all 2 sided
@@cz7221what about penny Hardaway, Mahmoud abdul rauf, david Robinson, yao ming, dame lillard and now Rudy Gobert, shaq is the most dominant but also the most fragile and sensitive big man in nba history.
@@cz7221 and dwight howard never did anything to shaq, shaq was jealous cus of the whole superman thing
@@jimmiewatts8820 i said there beefs are two sided mean shaq is also a problem, but kobe and dwight are problems too i said dont act like they are saints
Jalen was one of the best big Point guards. In the conversation with Penny & Steve Smith. 🏀
Kobe the 🐐
Still cant believe he's gone.... fck this hurts....
I remember when he got injured and shared on Twitter the first time he actually watched that Toronto game.
And one of the things he said was like... Wow, I could do much better!
Haha gotta love that mamba mentality. Miss him
Kobe really earned it. Started from the bottom, made his way up and became a champion. He did not come on a team that was rebuilding so that everything is freely given unlike other superstars. He earned his minutes. He earned his spot. He earned those rings! KOBE 🐐
This story is so awesome! Thanks Jalen! Facts
Jalen Rose on Kobe's 81 is like Mariah Carey when Christmas is coming.
Love Jalen.
I love the way Jalen honors the 81.
Jalen couldn’t have said it any better ❤
Super humble and mad respect!
I love Jalen even more for knowing he told Kobe to do that commercial !!!
Jalen Rose. Great story teller
Great interview! I enjoyed listening to J's memories of Kobe. Respect. 🤜🏾
I love this interview...awesome job Jalen❣️❣️❣️
Miss my boyyyy 😭
J is actually such as great storyteller!
It's been 15 years man
I love that animated story jalen rose tells
Great interview
Van Exel & Eddie Jones= beasts
my man
My heart hurts just thinking he’s really gone so young 😔
Legit. Love jalen. Miss Kobe
I love my guy Jalen energy 💯💯💯
Man respect to jallen that brand of basketball was competitive but very few would admit that . He’s so good u had to hurt him . Man I miss that man 🙏🏾🙏🏾💯💯
Brutally honest? Of all the people I admire and get inspiration from, Kobe's death hits different. I still remember that day, I cannot sleep AT ALL
When jallen rose... GUILTY of what he did to kobe.. 🤣😆
Jallen : "out of respect, he did 81 on us" 🤣😆
Jalen is just simply a good dude. His energy gives you energy doesn't suck energy from you listening to him. After Steven A Smith espn is Jalens World.
Much love to Jalen for this
thanks jalen for sharing those wonderful stories ✌✌✌
"HE WASN'T DOING AIRPLANE WINGS AROUND THE COURT"🤣🤣🤣
Breaks my heart
Miss u Kobe.
💛💛💜💜 I miss Kobe 😢
Jalen actually is remembered more for being apart of the fab 5 but the most memorable moment of his pro career is guarding Kobe on his Greatest statistical night
If Kobe played nowadays he have like 9 rings. His whole career he played with bums. Every time he got a star he won. Lebuum take notes
😐😐😐😐
@@denzelbimpey9156 hes not lying. pau gasol best player kobe got to play with post shaq. and he averaged like 17 ppg with the lakers during that time lol
You just made LeBron’s point. Everytime Kobe got a star he won. When he was playing with Smush Parker and them, he was ready to up and join the Bulls. Then management made one of the ultimate one sided trades and trade Kwame Brown and a draft pick for multiple time all star Pau Gasol.
@@2Tall2ActSmall he wanted to join the bulls when he was in his prime because all those players were bums . Look at lebron he made the big 3 because he couldn’t do it by himself in Cleveland. Stop making it seem like lebuum does it himself
lol Lebron using his burner account the tube?
That scene from Jalen's sitcom is classic.
Kobe was our modern day MJ!!! Kobe is the GOAT behind MJ. If you go back and watch his 81 point game, he could of easily Dropped 100 points and Kobe even confirmed that before he died. Miss you kobe & Gigi. Your spirit lives on. Rest in Heaven! 💜💛💔😭
Respect to Kobe Bean Bryant for the Hardwork Ethic and Template of Success and Human Frailty Salute for Just Being✨🔥💥👌✊
The game against the mavs whwn kobe scored 62 in 3 quarters he would have definitely had more than 81 if he played the 4th. I miss kobe sm!! 💯💜💛
I remember that game because Kobe had 62 after 3 quarters and the Mavs had 61 as a team 😂😂😂
Honestly, Jalen is one of the realest dudes. Always objective. Right or wrong- he’s not in the goofy business. We need it lol. I get tired of the wack hot takes of the day 😂.
That Dwight part was a gem. He knew from day one
