Kobe was the first person I ever idolized. Out of all musicians, skaters, wrestlers, and other pop icons that could've taken space on my wall, he was the first person whose poster i ever bought and proudly hung on my room. When my room got filled up with pages from The Source, Thrasher, and NBA posters... i moved his posters to the ceiling. The first and last thing id see when I was a kid. It molded me to be who I am today. Thank you for posting this because 1998 was the year this all happened. I was a young kid finding his way and his passion in life and Kobe's ethos and who he was at the time was very relatable to kids then. He was like my big brother I never had. The GOAT.
@@Kjbanks1204 rip, yeah nothing wrong with that…. But goat? There’s only ONE of those. That is what “greatest” MEANS bud. Yes, there IS something wrong with anyone calling anyone NOT named Michael Jordan “the goat”.. Nice try.
Thanks for dropping these vintage Kobe Videos. 🐐 Should‘ve been sixth man of the year imo. Imagine if he would’ve started since the beginning. His highlight reel would’ve been probably even crazier 🔥 R.I.P. Kobe. Never forgotten
9:51 when Clyde saw that spin to fade away he got PTSD knowing the boy got the Gene. Mike hit em with the same shit not too long before that and he recognised it immediately hahaha.
Lakers could’ve won in the late 90’s if not for the identity crisis on the team. You can sense the resistance and resentment from the veterans that Kobe was so good at only 19. Can win it all when there’s friction on the team.
Me too. I live in a small community and there’s not too many sport facilities so I decided I am going to try to do something about it there’s a lot of kids out here that love basketball and they’re just learning about Kobe. And they’re like wow it’s pretty cool to see
Damn Kobe still don’t feel real RIP Kobe man we grew up with u we will never forget the championships with Shaq the the back 2 back Kobe is Los Angeles lakers forever through the good and bad times we was with u Kobe damn can’t believe u gone and you baby Gigi as well as the others that past that Sunday we forever will love you Kobe showed everybody what was to wear the lakes jersey with no disrespect to MJ but you is our goat here in the LAnd Kobe 24/8 forever
Listen! This man looks like a friend I went to school with in elementary school; though I could just be all in my head. 98’ was some year for me at the age of 8 😩
To be honest, yeah kinda. I hate the current Lakers. Ever since Kobe retired and especially after Brandon Ingram got traded I wasn’t a fan anymore. Still no disrespect to Bron tho. He‘s certainly one of the Goats of this sport.
@@inexpugnabilis loll especially when they got Bron. I mean props to him, gonna end up being the GOAT or at least top 2 all time but i rooted against him my whole childhood, especially during the Kobe vs Bron days
I Can't Believe The Lakers Got This Mfkr Yo.. Ain't No Other Uniform, ( Except Maybe A Carolina Uniform) He Woulda Looked Better In. If Philly Was Smart And Had Drafted Him 1. That Woulda Been OK. But I'm Glad He Went Straight To L.A. 💜 💛 824.
Oooohhh you mean the guy that averaged 7 points a game? Oh, my bad, that was the year before: 15.. Either way, NOT at all “something to behold”…. He didn’t even average 20 a game until he’d been in the league for 4 years. Jordan averaged over 28 a game his ROOKIE year. Came in and took OVER. Kobe’s rookie year he averaged 7…. 7. Lmfao. Do NOT compare them.
@@devvv4616 doesn’t matter if he “came in younger” when they were the same age, when he was 21, he STILL didn’t average over 20 a game, just under 20: 19.9, so yeah pretty much 20, but still, it took him 4 years to actually break 20+ a game. He averaged 22.5 their first title year when they cheated the Pacers out in 2000.
@dazdavis7896 His coach didn't believe in him. The Lakers had Jones at the 2 and even though Kobe was much better than Jones as an rookie according to Nick, West, and etc his coach was not letting him play. IF Kobe came in starting at 17 he wouldn't have averaged 28 like MJ lol but with 20 shots, he'd average 20+. MJ athleticism coming in was ahead of anyone in the 80s except for Dr. J and peak Wilkins? Kobe in the 80s with playing time could replicate rookie MJ stats tbh. Kobe came in more skilled and polished but MJ benefitted from playing 3 years in college under one of the greatest college coaches and in an system. West said Kobe is the most skilled 17 year old he's ever seen. Even when Kobe worked out for the Celtics, they all said his skills were COMPLETE, NO WEAKNESSES
Bro stop it. You got to be miserable to try and diminish this man. Kobe is a basketball legend and a Academy Award winner and here you are hating. Knock it off.
You're only looking at stats... you can still be effective without it showing on the statsheet. Besides, Kobe came off the bench his first 2 years in the league, and he barely got any playing time. You are foolish to make fun of him averaging 7 points a game, when in that season he only played 15 minutes a game... that isn't enough time to do anything. Jordan on the other hand, got almost 40 minutes a game his first season and started every game. Jordan attempted nearly 20 shots a game his rookie season... where as kobe only averaged just under 6 a game his first year. That is not comparable. I guarantee you if kobe had the opportunity that Jordan had in his rookie season, he would have scored a lot more.

Kobe Bryant should have won 6th man of the year award in 1998.
Lakers could’ve won in the late 90’s if not for the identity crisis on the team. You can sense the resistance and resentment from the veterans that Kobe was so good at only 19. Can win it all when there’s friction on the team.
Bigg Facts‼️ The Coach Del Harris was A Hater also!!

Thanks for posting this! It seems Kobe in the 90’s is a forgotten player but I appreciate the upload.
Damn, Kobe after his 2nd year! Lakers still had Eddie Jones and Nick Van Exel who were just All-Stars as well, but they knew Kobe was the future

Am I the only one who’s a Kobe fan but hate the lakers
To be honest, yeah kinda. I hate the current Lakers. Ever since Kobe retired and especially after Brandon Ingram got traded I wasn’t a fan anymore. Still no disrespect to Bron tho. He‘s certainly one of the Goats of this sport.
I’m 100% there with you on that.
This is how I feel about Larry bird.
Kobe is my favorite player and Larry bird is my 2nd favorite and I hate the Celtics
me 2 i love kobe but i hate lakers

No cap, they shouldve kept these jerseys instead of the ones in the 2000s.
Wow you guys c kobes mom❤️🔥 RIP KOBE🤎🖤
I miss afro kobe
Teams Coulda Just Played Hack-A-Shaq. And He Wasn't Making But 25% Of His Free Throws. KOBE Was The Unstoppable Force Yo.
I Can't Believe The Lakers Got This Mfkr Yo.. Ain't No Other Uniform, ( Except Maybe A Carolina Uniform) He Woulda Looked Better In. If Philly Was Smart And Had Drafted Him 1. That Woulda Been OK. But I'm Glad He Went Straight To L.A. 💜 💛 824.
please do MAX STRUS highlights
CAVS video.
Seeing that Adidas commercial with Kobe felt so unnatural for some reason
Chances are Kobe is your favorite player’s favorite player ! 😊
Make a video on 2020-2021 curry
I want to see Tim Duncan 2013-14 season
I Wanna Give a Shout Out To Maxa Million 711

Before he met the succubus that separated him from his family.
Why you have to die on us tho bruh 😢
MaxaMillion711 Robert Williams III offense & defense highlights your next video 💪💪💪
😂 Yo I Seen Somebody Say Shaq Carried KOBE To 3 Rings. 😂😂😂. Fools Yo. They Were Both Great. But If Anybody Carried Anybody... KOBE Carried Shaq.
Comparison to Tiger didn’t age well, lol.
Take away All championship between KB and MJ Kobe way better player

Kobe also came in younger. But anyway, just because Jordan is better doesn't mean people can't celebrate Kobe's greatness
