I can't believe I'm watching this for free
Dejenny Pilipovic thats what i said when i was there live 😂 the energy of the crowd live doesnt do justice in video
Pay for it then bud! Loolll
Oh its not for free, target ads pamper ads Sketcher ads! Nothing relevant to you lol
same
Probably because Europe is a shithole that doesn't have freedom like America 🇱🇷
"I refuse to change what I am. A lion has to eat. Run with me or run from me." - Kobe Bryant
This quote is fire!!!!!!! Goodness!
🐐 talk !
@@bpresleyc the guys competitive nature is like none other
You already know those Instagram quote pages are putting this quote over a black and white picture of some dude walking away from an exotic car.
Killer quote!
It's 2024 and I'm still in denial about Kobe's death. He left a legacy as great as any athlete ever has.
" When I retire, I don't wanna say I wish I had done more." What a legend.
Felt pain in my chest when he said “I will do more in the next 20 years.” We didn’t just lose a super basketball athlete.....we lost so much more. I finally got Kobe’s autographed jersey for my kids, remind them what hard work is!
WSL bro he said in a interview he wanted to die young and his eyes was like when ima go look at his sad eyes
I felt that too 💔
That was when he had no family man, people change once you have kids, specially the way he loved them
And that’s just one person man... I mean think of all the kids who got aborted or never had the proper situation to grow and cultivate their talents. Think of the impact they could have had on the world. Now realize that you are and have a life as well, and that you can accomplish anything you put your mind to
Man Kobe was a great thinker and a great motivational speaker that was really down to earth. I'm going to miss him.....
Kobe just raised everybody in the world's overall by 4.
Everybody just got equip with the legendary work ethic badge
Mine by 7 bruh now I’m 99
Everybody in the worlds passing dropped by 15 tho
Osman 😂😂😂
@@osman4945 That's cool I'd rather keep it to myself anyways. Unless I find my Shaq and Gasol 😉
“Ima do something in the next 20 years that is better than these last 20” My heart broke all over again…Gentlemen, this man right here is a role model like no other. This interview is an invaluable archive in history. “Mamba out”…
That got to me big time 😢 just shows how unpredictable life can be..
awwwww😢
I almost cried
Waaaaa!😭......man up
He might not be here, but I think he’ll still be responsible and influence something great over the next 20 years
1:01:37 man it’s impossible not to shed a tear when I hear you ask him “What will we see from you the next 20 years?” and hear him lay out his plan.. may he rest in peace and God bless his family
Gone way too soon😞
He's in hell
@@SuperSikarlo That's really not for you to say or judge. Grow up
@@Jacob-hz6jw actually you're DEAD wrong. You cant realize something like that until you DO grow up. He wasn't a Christian, he was a prideful/arrogant know it all who didnt care about anyone else. Pride comes before a fall, a fall of a helicopter. There is no way he went to heaven.
@@SuperSikarlo There was literally no point in your comment, AT ALL. And you have no idea where Kobe's heart was or about his relationship with God. Leave the judging to God.
The world will miss him but FOREVER remember him. Our heart is with you, your daughter and your family Kobe. RIP - Valuetainment team.
He will forever be remembered. Legends never die.
R.I.P The Goat
I am so glad you got this interview before he left us, I had not watched it yet but I will now!
He will forever be remembered
RIP to him and Gigi.....!!!
Kobe is such an intelligent man I could listen to him talk basketball and about life all day
True. Can't say that for most of the rest of NBA players. Their average IQ might hit 85.
I literally just said this lmao this is all facts
@@200mphz06 what's your IQ
@trey Loc And LeBron
he cheated on his wife multiple times
What a beautiful honor to have been able to interview Kobe. RIP to him and his daughter.
I cry everytime I replay this. He was truly one of the greatest of all time. RIP KOBE.
Same 😢
-“I’m gonna do something the next 20 years that’s better than my last 20” 56:52 We miss you Kobe
He is in heaven 😓
Unfortunately at this point its inspiring a new generation RIP
instead of being warrens buffet..
@@nangoloangula8548 wtf😂
He def did.
This guy did a brilliant job interviewing Kobe.
I’m roughly ten mins in and I was just thinking the same thing.
Kobe Tribute video I made guys! What do you think! kzhead.info/sun/f7iJhpuyqailko0/bejne.html
Except naming those pointless ass accolades at the beginning
@@ajjackson6902 not pointless you goof
Kobe shits on lebron in every aspect
"I had a purpose I wanted to be one of the best basketball players to ever play and anything else outside of that lane I didn't have time for" -kobe bryant
Man, Kobe is brilliant and well spoken! This is probably the best interview I have witnessed!
Yup, a lot of that is probably because he grew up in Italy when he was younger with a whole different culture. Good on him for not falling into the stereotypical American raised Black Basketball player.
@@sonnycusa his dad was a professional basketball player in Italy
@@MrZZsharka Yup!
Most of the men today should study more the mindset of the greatest athletes instead of listening to Tate
@@OfficialSantaClaus what’s wrong with Tate (just asking)
R.I.P Kobe Bryant. Can not believe he is dead... Legends never die, he will still be remembered.
He changed my life. I will forever thank him for that.
CodingCoffee I loved this interview. I found a real appreciation for him after seeing this. He truly overcame so much. This is just sad
"I'm gonna do something better in the next 20 years than I did in the last 20." 56:50
How rich was Kobe Bryant
@@richieadams1502 Odd question to ask here. You could Google it, but those numbers aren't accurate. You don't have to worry about Vanessa and the kids though if that's why you're asking. I'd guess she's worth at least $200 mil.
The more I listen to Kobe talking, the more frustrating it gets. He was so sharp and had so much wisdom and experience. With his mindset and principles, he would have been just as successful in the second phase of his life. He reminds me a bit of Arnold Schwarzenegger and the journey he had. They were both perfectionists in their craft. Kobe seemed to have been an amazing teacher as well, with so much knowledge to share with not only basketball players but to people from all walks of life. As fans of basketball, we lost an irreplaceable link between the era of Jordan, Magic and Bird and today's generation. I hope players of today continue to apply what he was able to pass on, and continue studying him, his obsessive attention to detail, will to win and his will to be the very best he could become. This is something applicable to us all, regardless of what our craft or passion might be. A great man, who had so much more left to show and inspire us with, and who left us far too soon. RIP to those who lost their lives in the crash.
Dutch van der Linde indeed it is
Daniel Dahl kzhead.info/sun/ebKbcbV6b3SPp4U/bejne.html this is another insightful interview
Would like the comment but 81 is perfect
ONE OF A KIND PERIOD.
Well stated🙌🏾💯
Still in disbelief I got to see this in-person in 2019. This is my FIRST time I am able to watch this. I am ready to make 2024 the greatest year of my LIFE! Thank you PBD for putting that event together!🙏🏼#KobeYear 🐐
Side note: Patrick handled this interview and the audience so well. He was able to handle the environment and everyone’s excitement. Control the crowd…. Fantastic
Pay attention, most of those people were his employees.
Don't know why Kobe's death touched me so deeply and personally. He'll forever be remembered
kobe touch you / i don't believe you ok
Right? I cried the second I heard the news and I hardly knew the guy besides that he's an amazing NBA legend. I still can't believe he's really gone. So strange.
@@hedikomoon bullshit
Steve Tari same. I used to hate basketball, but after Kobe’s death man everything changed, I’m obsessed with basketball now and I’m watching all his interviews, all his plays, his games, reading quotes, everything he says just connects with me and touches me deeply
@L C Well done best replay To this douchebag
“Get it off the rebound if I miss bro” 🤣🤣🤣 WOW
"Fuck dat"
ANTONIO chambers only 3 rings... only?!
He is a savage 😂😂😂😂
@@suhdood8289 Yes only. They should have won at least 2x that.
@@Hotobu if shaq was there longer they would have more. But the chemistry wasn't there yet. But once they got a good coach and good role players the got 3 in a roll.
His dedication and the maturity of his mind and level of thinking at 13 is galaxies ahead of most people at their peak. Incredible! We miss you Kobe!
Yessir, your right bro
Lmao don’t be ridiculous
Except when paying attention while his helicopter pilot is obviously having trouble flying him he shoud have said put this thing down now.
@@user-uy5yi4do5g And how TF do you have ANY idea on what the hell happened up there? You must’ve had a hidden camera and a microphone, huh? Asshole.
@@user-uy5yi4do5gwell he wasn't a 13yo when his helicopter crashed and killed him and the other 8 souls on board.
This men is surely brilliant, fearless, cocky but humble asf at the same time! An amazing brother!! He will be missed dearly!!❤
You learn how humble someone is when they are with you one on one , not internet, this Internet is a consistent commercial ad.
"Everything was done to be a better basketball player, and when you have that point of view, the world becomes your library to help you become better at your craft" - wow
that was deep
@@YouAreOneOfUs I'm not a Lakers fan but it sounds like you've never risked for anything in your life and you are also salty as hell
@@YouAreOneOfUs Bot
I get that’s deep , but who tf is wow ? 🧐
YouAreOneOfUs yes you are correct the lakers were ruined by your point of view that includes nothing but ignorance...so sad.
Kobe was ruthless. What a true G
props to the interviewer with the razor-sharp questions that get the best answer from an interviewee like a Kobe Bryant!
Man Kobe will go down as a generational icon for centuries thank you!
We can only hope! This new generation is weird!
@S Wavey no. It looks like they only look at numbers. They don't even bother to look up highlights. These kids need to look at the older players because the stat padding and flopping needs to stop.
@S Wavey dude he wasn't shooting well so he was facilitating and grabbing rebounds. To be truly great, you have to get the job done no matter what. His 5 rings reflect that
@S Wavey bro I'm a Celtics fan so I saw that. It was painful at first but I loved the way he played. Kobe missed the most shots ever. But he was arguably the most skilled player as well as the best difficult shot maker. These media critics can't stop his legacy of greatness.
@@erikmerced6329 all facts
This interview was the first thing that came to mind when I heard of Kobe's passing. Kobe is so open and shares his mindset with us here. I don't play or follow basketball, (57 white female engineer) but I understand work ethic, following a passion, and giving it your all. That's what I relate to. Thank you so much for this video. I'm going to rewatch it...as soon as I stop crying.
Christine Snitkin ....make a plan to be the best and do it now.
Exactly! I mean, I watched it 5 months ago but it was so impactful that I remember the things he spoke about, which made me feel like "But he just did that interview the other day. How could this be?"
The one with A Rod and Big Cat came to mind for me.
Christine I haven't stopped crying because he is EVERYWHERE~
Why say white? Bizarre.
Finally after two years, I have the courage to rewatch this. Man Kobe thank you for inspiring millions 🖤🔥🙏
I know exactly what you mean. I saw this interview for the first time literally the night before the crash. Didn’t have time to finish it that night, but couldn’t wait to finish it the next day. Wasn’t able to finally finish it until about 6 months ago.

Bullshit!

This comment has not aged well......
"I'm gonna do something better in the next 20 years, than I did in the last 20." 56:50 RIP Legend.
TOPSPOT that one hurt 😞
i believe he was going to get GIGI the 1st Female in the NBA
Sho Lom either that or to be best player in wnba
Sho Lom she was different at young age which is kinda rare she played just like Kobe gone too sooon 😞😞
@@youflaw3285 I think that's a bit ambitious, but who knows what she would've been. She was special though, gone way too soon. I'm sad as everyone else about Kobe, I wouldn't have guessed I'd be so emotional cause I wasn't THAT big a fan, but I'm 41 and can honestly say this has been the saddest week of my life. Cried for 3 days straight, and I never even met the man (I coach in his old high school gym, so maybe I relate the two) ... Gigi is what crushed me though. I mean, at least Kobe lived his life. Dude accomplished more in 41 years than most people could even dream of. Still devastating, but at least he lived a good life, albeit one tragically cut short. Gigi though, and the other kids. Amazing how cruel life could be. You look at her pictures, her smile, her energy ... The whole world in front of her and it's gone in a second. 💜💛💔
Hearing Kobe talk about his next 20 years makes me realize the importance of living for today because none of us, not even the black mamba himself, are guaranteed tomorrow. R.I.P. to the greatest front man the NBA has ever had.
I got the chills watching the introduction and the crowd chanting Kobe 😢 man I miss him
This isn't an interview, this is a legend speaking to another Legend
@Private Privacy such a sad little man I pity you.
Oh well shit happens, he has more money than you, hence more power than you. It’s called Capitalism deal with it. Peace
Luis Perez who's the other guy talking to Kobe?
@Private Privacy I'm guessing that woman was your mom judging by how salty you are
Never heard of the guy
RIP Bryant This interview helped us understand who you were and trying to be
Dude I came straight here when I heard the news
I still can't believe it
He had so much ambition and drive for his upcoming ventures
i was watching this earlier in the afternoon and heard this, it crushed me
Laser Beam what do you mean?
Sitting here watching this video in denial, four years later still going, nope, no way Kobe’s gone forever.
I can say with the utmost confidence that Bet Davis is this generations best interviewer hands down🙇🏽♂️
I know I'm speaking for everyone when I say this, it's so hard to believe he's gone
Believe me , he's helping me and he's close to my heart more than even now.
Not me
not me .. ppl die everyday after years of suffering.. this guy didnt !
@@AntonioVictorSp NV B A am a aaa

And now hes under the ground and covered full with dirt. SO what? Hes one of THOUSAND of people
@@frightfactory1 Well obviously hes not the first 'legend' who passed away, stop wining bout that it'll not get him back to life lol. Hes dead, deal with that. period

I miss u big brother u r the best and ur tuffness was unmatched rip gi gi I never seen no b ball player like u Father like u or a human like u 💯 u were an angel sent from God to teach 🙏 thank u Lord for sending us an angel for 41 yrs
Cara Walker even more than he already has!
Yeah , he's a satanist
Change what? Teach children to use the word "fucking" in every sentence the same way he did in this interview
he was very very intellegent and genious 😭😎😎
I've watched this interview from front to back like 4 times. I go out to run & just listen to this, he was so inspiring. Mind you I never actually watched any of his games. I'm a big soccer fan, but just to listen to this man is so addicting. Amazing human being. He's not dead, he's more alive than ever. One Love
He was smart too a rare combination family and game.
U can tell Kobe motivates the interviewer
When kobe passed I thought about how much my dad and I bonded over watching him play. Lost my dad in 2015. I was 27. Feels like I lost another part of my dad when kobe died. It was surprising how sad I was loosing Kobe. Thank you Kobe for your game and for your spirit. It brought a lot of people together. Shaq might have been unstoppable but We always looked at it as Kobe's team.
Sorry to hear that about your father. Kobe did incredible things.
Oh Russell… keep praying and stay away from alcohol and drugs
I feel you man, lost my Pops last year. Keep ya head up big dawg!
Kobe Tribute video I made guys! Lmk what do you think! kzhead.info/sun/f7iJhpuyqailko0/bejne.html
Be careful its eithèr u are in his Basement or he is in ur contract coming to demand Christmas results for no good reason in ur Bedroom while u sleep..tread with care, the Starlit floor 🥶😭😭 anywho he not hunting Jesus, Bro is effing Moses parting the Red sea💀 this is me rn 🐣🦭🐣🐢✈🫂 fèling like the hidden village guys watching the mountain come down after saying " planetary divastation" with chest 🤣🤣🤣 bruh😅 and the life contract 😶
This interview shows the value Patrick brings to the craft. Not being a journalist and asking the questions one would expect and in the expected ways, he gets different types of responses and uncovers information others won't get. With all the content regarding Kobe that's coming forward since his death, this one stands out. Thanks, Pat.

You’re right
The look on his face and the pronounciation, personally, drives me crazy

God bless u brother I only have 1....so I know to say God bless u
I watched this shortly after Kobe passed. Cried. Incredible and motivating. Watch again 2-8-24 cried again. Thank you for this. Huge respect
He's talking about the next 20 years, not knowing he got 5 months left, so disappointing..
It is disappointing!! Kobe would have evolved even more and probably been on a whole new level in 20 years!
That's the exact best way, go with a goal in mind, that's how I want to end my days.
That's thing about life never know when it's your time to go
That's how how this journey is my friend
Its live every moment could be our last, so :)
When I need a motivation boost, I come back and watch this interview again and again. Some words just live on forever. Rest in peace Kobe.
Coming after a breakup....haha...
Kobe was a phenomenal human being. He was truly a motivational person. 👏
I watch it every single day. I’m a father of 3 and 24years old. Best remedy to never settle.
@@reneeblanche3735 yea ok he was accused of rape so sure he is
wrgg, say, can say any nmw s perfx
When he said he's going to be better in his next 20 years, tears streaming down my face. I felt like we lost a bright light in this World, but the truth is, his light will shine bright forever. RIP to Kobe, Gigi, and all the amazing souls on the helicopter that gloomy day. January 26th will never be the same. 💔
We appreciate people like you beautiful‼️God Bless you.
He was a athletically talented man and nothing more. He was no god. Why do people worship public figures?
@@kevinmicheal817 where did I say Kobe was God? Just curious 🤔
@@kevinmicheal817 nothing more ? Lol what have you done? You just sound dumb tbh
@@kevinmicheal817because they’ve made it meaning there is something to learn from them
Kobe is my daily inspiration such a GOOD HUMAN BEING
I love how he always mentioned Natalia. People always talked about the bond he has with Gigi, but kobe is also very close to his oldest. And I cant imagine the pain she's going through right now.
Yea I’ve noticed that too I feel like Natalia just doesn’t wanna be in the spotlight like she doesn’t care
What a great loss! Pinterest always bring me the greatest of her dad in pictures every single day. Even if his gone, he will never be forgotten soon.

Pretty insane I was present at this event and looking back at this few years later I am more grateful than ever to be able to go back and look at the notes I took and realize how much I’ve grown as a person Thank you Patrick for putting this together, Rest In Peace Kobe Bryant 🙏🏼
Brightest..heartfelt ..lovingly skilled genius Ballplayer ..father..& husband..citizen of our world & my heart favorite Laker...of all time. Thank you Lord for Kobe Bryant!
Still with PHP?
The interview is four years ago. Unbelievable how time flies and everything he said is still applicable till this day. Such a tragedy that he passed away so early.
I hate that I didn’t really see his “Mamba Mentality” until he was gone. Unreal the way he played, how he used that same mentality as a father and husband. Such an unreal human being and athlete!! Super intelligent! Gone too soon!!
Uhh shabina o gv mmll ooob I xxx
Same my kid cried when he died i just didnt get it u dnt know this man and today i just realize what my son lost and i just want him to have that again that Mamba mentality
Watching this at 130 am. Was half asleep when I started watching.... Now, I'm ready to run a few dozen miles!
Antonio Villanueva that’s the mamba mentality

Wooooooosh

If Kobe is the goat then MJ is the butcher
Oh my God... Well this is a lesson. That is a man dying with no regrets. Thank you for elevating humanity. That was a life well spend.
Dimitris Telis exactly, you read my mind
So true
Facts 💯
God how I miss Kobe. There is no other like him. He handled everything so classy and was so humble. He makes players today look weak. He is so right that you are getting good money to perform…..PERFORM. THE GOAT ❤️
My plan was to watch this in 20 min segments over 3 nights. Ended up watching the whole thing first night. Best interview I've ever heard. The host transitioned into different life timelines perfectly.
RIP TO THE GOAT ... In honor of this man, DON’T BE LAZY & GO GET IT! 🙏🏻
I’m not going to lie, I cried when I heard the terrible news. Other than a basketball legend, Kobe seemed like a humble, down to earth person that you can easily know or relate to. This is more than just another high-profile death. As a father, seeing his daughter pass with him makes it even more heartbreaking. My prayers and condolences to everyone involved in this unspeakable tragedy.
Based on this interview only, Kobe was not at all humble or down to earth, and that's not a bad thing in the slightest.
@@Executor009 he’s humble and down to earth. It’s just that when he sets his mind on getting something he has a killer instinct and he has a lot confidence that’s all
@@Executor009he’s the most down to earth you could be. Rethink the definition if you don’t think so. He lives in reality and lifts others and asks for help, especially post retirement. Rest in peace
Wow Kobe is very intelligent and well-articulated
Kobe was to real for his time
No basketball games will ever be as exciting as when Kobe was playing. He put on a show every damn game. The greatest of all time!

Am not big NBA fan but kobe motivation and dedication to working to being best have to respect.Mamba mentality🐐🐐❤
Damn legend. Favorite athlete of all time. RIP Kobe 🙏🏻
Credit To Vanessa she held The Family down while Kobe did his Job. Kobe came home after Retirement and said I've got the girls in the morning getting them to school and to activities 💚
Oh, you mean the stuff a Mom SHOULD do?
Johnny Ancich yes but a lot don’t cuz they’re spoiled
I agree Even though kobe cheated on her Its okay
"As a competitor, I'm not ducking shit." Words to live by. God Bless the Bryants.
America used to live by these words. Now it's "when does the government send me another stimulus check", "when does the government send my food stamps", "When will the government increase minimum wage while I maintain my minimal effort" etc We used to be the nation of entrepreneurs, now we're the nation of government slaves.

Missing you so much Kobe.
I am watching this for the second time and towards the end, I just pictured David having Kobe come back today for a sit down, and I don't see Kobe saying anything different, the energy is the same and the obsession still there. RIP Kobe you are the greatest of all time
This man totally destroys ANY stereotype of the black athlete. And he’s authentic. Nuff respect BLACK MAMBA.
are you trying to imply that the black athlete is not authentic? in my opinion Kobe is complete fraud.
No Salim. I’m not trying to imply the black athlete is not authentic. Kobe is just being himself up there. That’s what I mean. A lot of public figures don’t show their true selves.
@@DYLTHEVYL your prob right. he def says whats on his mind. I just don't like the dude.
I hear ya. Ain’t nuttin wrong with not liking him, if that’s how you feel.
Salim Douglas curious to know why don’t you like him? What has he done to you ...personally ?
Celtics fan here. Used to hate him. Now I love him. Mamba mentality is real. The young bucks now days seem soft. He’s gained my respect forever 💯
#respect bruh 💯💯
P
Respect!
You get my respect for that💯💯💯
Wait for young bucks to get some war experience.
Watching this every year. For me this in the number one interview you can listen.
Just for the record, they did make the playoffs the year Kobe tore his achellis.
Antonio Magadan facts he definitely messed up there I was waiting for Kobe to correct him
Antonio Magadan yeah and who knows, if Kobe doesn’t make those two free throws, they don’t make the playoffs
Eren Doguoglu it ain’t who knows ! He made them and they made playoffs
John Long true
John Long and the rest is history :)
As great an athlete Kobe was, his mind was his strongest asset. Truly amazing man. Rest well, Mamba

You a real MVP for this
Thank you 🙏🏾🏆
TO CUT SHORT ALL OF THE IMPORTANT AND FABULOUS THINGS THIS MAN WAS ABOUT TO BRING TO HUMANITY IS A TRAGEDY OF THE HIGHEST MAGNITUDE. WHAT HE BROUGHT TO THE GAME OF BASKETBALL WAS ONLY THE BEGINNING!! MAMBA FOREVER!!
FACTS!!
MVP! MVP! MVP! Kobe would get these chants on road games. Amazing! Best hooper on this side of heaven!
As if you knew hey
Basketball to Kobe was like Martial Arts to Bruce Lee.
Dex Star yes sir been saying that!
I can't agree more 👍
This interview was a gem. Thanks Kobe ❤
It’s still crazy that he’s not with us anymore. A lot of celebrity deaths are news, but Kobe is one that shook the world. He and MJ are my favorite players because of what I have learned from their mindsets.
🏀 Kobe Bryant gives the best interviews. The man is a genius 🏀
RIP mamba,love you from India. I still remember in 2009 as a cricket fan I woke up early to catch the action between India and New Zealand series, but deu to bad weather match was delayed,. So I just switched the channel and saw celtics vs lakers finals series was live . From that day onwards ...I don't have any words. This stings!
Thats POWERFUL BRO ! #Respect
Cried at the intro when the crowd was chanting kobe... I went thru denial, anger.. but grief didnt hit me til that moment. He meant so much to his fans, myself included 😢 RIP Kobe. The lessons he tauvht us with his actions and words will never be forgotten. LEGEND
The Vince Carter story is just so inspiring. Rest in peace Kobe! ❤
I didn't know how intelligent Kobe was. He still had a solid 50 years of life left to live and watch his daughters grow up to be women with families of their own. Such a tragic and heartbreaking loss. R.I.P. KOBE BRYANT. mM{
That 1 Dude this dude was the jack of alllllll trades!! I know his wife is glad she hung in there with him through the rough times to see the great in him. I'm amazed on how intelligent he was because I wasn't a BB fan. God needed those 9ppl for something else. RIP to them😔😢😢😢
He wasn’t living 50 years lmao he was 41
@@gloryq9232 I said he had 50 years left meaning he probably would have lived to 91 which is only speculation. Re read it lol
ikr died way too young
Dude...he was highly intelligent when he came into the league. He spoke 3 languages at 19. He lived more life in his first 40 years than most 80 yr olds. He is an incredible role model....for anyone.
The reason I picked up a basketball. Miss you Legend❤
“When I was thirteen I had a kill list”😂😂😂
@Abemamba Buckets like why tf you care u people always have something to say stfu clown smh.
I'm telling the FBI.
Abemamba Buckets what do you want an analysis of the whole video? It’s a KZhead comment....
he copied from arya stark
@@nwriyah1219 while I don't agree with the comment youre responding too, youre doing the exact same thing he is. chiming in on something that doesn't need to be chimed in on, because it annoys you. same with the original comment. difference here is youre a prick.
So hard to watch this knowing he is gone. What a legend
This is the best Kobe interview, EVER. You learn SO much about him here. He might come off cocky, but it’s just true confidence. I’ve watched this probably 5 times and I’m sure I’ll watch it more. What a human he was. I genuinely think every parent should show this to their child. Not bc of basketball, just about life. Great questions were asked here. ❤️
Kobe got mad love when he was here. Thats the beauty of this interview. So many dont get the love till they die and thats a shame. R I.H Kobe
RIP KOBE!
It’s a shame and I can relate.
Well said
Rest in heaven?
@@pablodetimofeev6450, I hope he means heaven.
"THE WORLD IS YOUR LIBRARY SO YOU CAN PERFECT YOUR CRAFT"...powerfully inspirational quote!! R.I.P. to ALL the lives lost in this horrific tragedy...💔😢💝😇
Very powerful indeed...
It's sad 😣😭😢
Very true.
RIP Kobe. You are the reason why many people have got the discipline to even get out of bed and work. To start thinking about their life and taking action. And I am one of them. Rest In Peace Legend
