The wages of sin is death (hell) but Jesus paid our debt on the cross, for our salvation! We must turn to God and away from our sinful ways, Confess Jesus is Lord and believe with our hearts that he was risen from the dead by God, and we must be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and The Holy Spirit and live by His word and Commandments! Trust that God will help with the rest!
Seek God today before it's too late! Today could be your last day on earth!
Have a blessed day!

The fact that we won't have more interviews like this from this man is beyond tragic
Legend Has It, This Music Played In Real Time Whenever Kobe Spoke.
Love Kobe cuz his game was always more than just team strats, he literally analyzes every players habits and looks for weaknesses. Honestly the best 1 on 1 player to pick up the ball
Thats MJs title as a 1 on 1 player hate to break it to you and Kobe is my 2nd fave player all-time.
Kobe is definitely the best 1 on 1 he even took mjs moves and made them better.
@@kishanelam4778 wrong lmao just plain wrong
@@Maddenlegend4ever Jordan himself said in an interview the only player in the NBA he might not be able to beat 1 on 1 in his prime is Kobe Bryant “because he steals all my moves”.

@@AirmatiJin that's great but that's like Mike Tyson saying in his prime he wasn't gonna beat Ali when everybody and their mother knows that man would have destroyed Ali pre-prison and before his trainer died. And duh dude I've been watching basketball since you were in diapers it's wildly obvious Kobe stole all his moves lmao. That doesn't mean he will be Jordan 1 on 1 Jordan also loves Kobe so of course he would say that to give him praise it is just being respectful. Jordan vs Kobe 1 on 1 Jordan wins PERIOD.
Kobe was a true student of the GAME FR! Rip the Mamba🐍
"so I retired, before I could FIGURE him out" still mamba even tho he was out of the league he was still in the game

Bron better
You probably a wierdo goofy
How you know that when you have never talked to either of them
Could watch Kobe break down the game for hours
Bro this gave me mad chills, looking at what hard works looks like, and it paid off. RIP black mamba.
Kobe was so anaylitical amazing how he broke opponents games down, also shows how hard Durant worked on his game he's much more than just size and talent, he put in the work too
if he was still alive i would love to have a conversation with kobe like this one it’s so fascinating to listen to
Kobe, the all seeing, the all hearing, pretty sure he's guarding the Bifrost atm with Heimdall. This dude was an intelligent predator, learn weaknesses, only the win really matters... watching this legend will still hurt, rip Kobe, along your little girl 😞, we'll miss you forever.
Well said bro!!!
i love how the music loops perfectly
Bro I was looking for a comment taking about this lol
The name of the song is Mcgregor from Anuel AA 🔥🔥
Yes. They just need to turn it down a tad.
@@zsadpeepTV actually it's "polozhenie guitar" erenity/ mertmis remix ,but AA did make a song on top of the beat.
It’s gotta be the biggest compliment/highest praise for an NBA player to have Kobe Bryant, the man who can defend anybody, essentially say you were hard to defend
Ai cooked his butt anytime he wanted, he figured Ai will always bust his butt !
R.I.P Kobe
Why was Kobe just the realist person to ever exist.
Technically he did figure him out KD was just always learning is all
Well he said he didn’t….
Men, you said it all, figuring him out meant finding that weakness, even if it was just a weakness, one weakness.
And you saying KD kept developing says it all.
Nice man.
But ain't that what Kobe just said?
@@Steve0verton no, kobe thinks he couldnt figure him out. But kobe did figure him out, multiple times, but durant kept evolving and getting better. Kobe is essentially saying durant kept improving and eventually he couldnt handle him so easily anymore.
@@Boberto385 no he was saying by the time he retired he couldn’t figure him out 😂 n he told u when he first came into the league he was easy then he developed n he can’t stop him now as in he’s hard to guard now cuz he don’t have weaknesses he can exploit
Kobe probably could’ve broke down everything about every player he played against and defended. RIP Black Mamba
Just crazy he is dead. I dont even watch basketball but it just doesnt make any sense. Almost feels like he faked his death to me.
The essence of a true & one of a kind player.. being able to study every superstars weaknesses..so eventually if he didn't retire & father time didn't catch up on him.he would able to figure him out.
Damn still unreal that dude ain't here with us anymore. People expect their idols to live forever... Better appreciate them while they are around..✌️🙏
He had it down to a science literally 😭
These were Kobe’s words on Tracy Mcgrady, “He could do everything I could, but he was 6'10. He had no weaknesses in his game, he could score from anywhere and defend. He's the hardest player I have ever had to guard."
Damn straight Mcgrady was Considered one of Kobe’s greatest rivals nothing but respect between the two
That interview was before he played with KD.
I saw that too when he said McGrady was the hardest to defend
And they were friends as teens
Post Jordan Era, T-Mac was my favorite player. It was T-Mac that actually turned me into a Pistons fan. Watching that early 2000’s Pistons team use perfect teamwork and chemistry to defeat him in the playoffs led me to root for them from there on out. Sill a Pistons fan to this day.
The real meaning of learning your opponent
Notice how Kobe used the same Move since he was 7. Forcing them to use the left.
I’m not even a huge basketball fan, but his super clear and precise analysis was so satisfying to listen to.
Rip Kobe. He will always be loved ❤️
Hella overrated
That is some fucking great praise right there. If I was Kevin Durant I’d have this on repeat in my house every day
Thing that sucks the most is that you forget he's gone RIP Legend
Well Boston figured him out now
How when he still getting point on a double team so tonight they triple team him. And he still finishing with 29.
Yeah they figured him out. Throw every guy you have at him at all times because the rest of teammates are hot garbage
It’s not the same Durant since the Achilles injury
@@Fat_Vegan we know Houston figure him out first, get a little physical, break him up bad boys style, too bad for Houston didn't broke him in time for them to win those series,
How many yrs has kd been in the league casual?
Kobe Bryant was a one of a kind player, heroes come and go but legends are forever
Prime KD on the dubs was sick
The technical assessment or simply technicality of this man is out of this world.
Its official my man's a damn robot 🤖 with all the analytics gotta love em black mamba squad forever
Not a LeNron fan. But if we talk about Basketball IQ, analysis and remembering almost every gameplay in a particular game including the time and who passed and shoot the ball, no one can actually do what LeBron is thinking if we talk about basketball.

People talking about “Tatum clamped him up now” Tatum could not hold a TORCH to how good KD was before that Achilles tear‼️
Well they did double team him most of the time but kobe is talking about one on one so Jayson tatum is not clamping kd one on one that's why udoka and the Celtics double teamed him throughhout the whole series
@@vikrantkaira3036 exactly idk why people don’t get that
But still Boston Celtics did a hell of a job and they were the better team with better player in this series..
I think next year we'll see kd being as great as he was and coming up with an answer for Boston's defense
@@vikrantkaira3036 yeah Boston the better team without a doubt. If Boston LOST this series that would be insane considering how long Brown and Tatum have been playing with each other. One of them would be traded if they lost this one to Brooklyn.

@@robertgray1214 and that's your opinion.
@@robertgray1214 Kobe's personality is COMPLETELY different than literally everyone you named other than Jordan lol. All rare, but as a hooper and a human, Kobe was more humble and less cocky than any of those legends other than Grant Hill
What’s so scary is that he’s able to legit descriptively remember this and he was probably 2 or 3 years into retirement… this dude was on a different planet
I love the chess aspect of the game and how great Kobe breaks everything down it’s really a science
Imagine how he would be coaching, rip kobe❤🕊
That was a professional and an extremely educated assessment.
Boston Celtics really said hold my beer
You do realize that the officiating is just terrible in that series. it’s not the Nets fault he gets punched and doesn’t get fouled. Then when he slightly taps Tatum he gets a foul. Just showing every sport is rigged and there is nothing you can do if a league has a favorite team. The perfect comeback story that everyone will be talking about. From fighting to be above .500 to World Series(talking about Celtics).

He had a science to defending! That's dedication to studying the game & your opponents.
Imagine the discipline and commitment to learn each of his competitors' weaknesses over the years, and having to remember who was who...... dude was just different
Kobe breaks things down so good when explaining things to anyone n not just winging to talk to look smart cause he was smart from the get-go ...he truly was an amazing thinker and talker... one can only imagine how much film he studied and watched over n over on an opposing player or team. Legend on the court and off.
I think the coolest part of this whole thing is that he’s a player known for his offensive ability, yet he’s so focused and dialed into defensive strategies

I like how Kobe was honest and said "Kevin Durant" of the top of his head without thinking. Other players would go "uhmm..." and try to make themselves look good while answering.
he was humble even at his top level class and was not afraid to be honest. aall true traits of a master at his sskill
