One of the greatest traits Kobe had that often gets overlooked is his absolute loyalty. It became popular in professional sports for great players to abandon their team and join forces with other great players to give them a much better chance at winning a championship... But Kobe (like Jordan and many others) he'd rather build his team and BEAT the other great players, not join them. And the fact that he only wore a Lakers jersey in his whole NBA career truly does speak volumes about him consistently being in the top 2 names of the "greatest ever" players. He was one of a kind.
@@zionnewkirk4838 I honestly believe, and I heard speculation on this at the time, that he did that to get the best possible contract with L. A. but I still see it as he WAS with the same team his whole career, that's what truly matters in the end. 👍
TOO bad Kobe didn't show that loyalty to his wife huh ??? When he let that young 18 yrs old teen girl into his hotel room that fateful ( or should i say unfaithful day,get it ??? ) I'm pretty sure his very pretty wife could've cheated on Kobe ( she had guys hitting on her all day long ) but,chose her marriage and family over quick pleasure. TOO bad Kobe couldn't keep his zipper closed-LOL. Then,you chose low hanging fruit to mess with,not a model,a doctor or a lawyer. Just some female teen-LOL. You can't make this stuff up.For someone supposed to be so smart and intelligent Kobe did the dumbest thing in his life.Maybe he should've been working out for 2 hrs ( oh,he was working out tho-LOL ) just not in the gym. That's the black mamba mentality think with the other head.
People kill me when they question Kobe's influence on the game. 08 Olympics all them players got to see how he work absorb the aura following yr everyone has one of their best seasons
Long live the real goat yall idolize the wrong person (MJ) he was given god gifted talent that he worked to tune Kobe worked for every gift he had in the court and that’s what you should strive for. For anything you wanna achieve in life
Yet Kobe's father was a 6'9 NBA player and Michael's father James was nowhere near that skilled in basketball, let alone 6 ft tall. Which player had NBA genes again?
@@ryleerichter804while downplaying Michael's work ethic. Michael was only 5'10 as a Freshman at Laney and only 6'3 as a Freshman at UNC. Again, Kobe had the genes, the heighth early especially. Acting as if he had to work harder to achieve his success is actually pretty laughable.
Kobe Bryant’s legacy is defined by his relentless work ethic, resilience, and the inspiring "Mamba Mentality," which continues to motivate generations to strive for greatness.
Why is it that so many great sportsmen like Kareem, Bird, Jordan, Muhammad Ali, and Kobe are very polarizing? Why are they loved and hated with almost the same intensity? These people elicit strong emotions (good or bad) even from casual fans. The simple answer would be because these people are just wired differently from the rest of us. Humans tend to hate and/or ridicule things and people we do not understand (we all remember our weird classmate back in the day who was academically second to none?) We laugh at them to cover up our feelings of ineptitude. We ignore them because deep down inside, we fear them. We hate them because we know we will never be as good as they are. To appreciate great people for what they have accomplished, we must first need to accept our mediocrity.
really thanks to this video i pray for bless all you who you who made you man this kind of video is faithful for the man who was one of the best in the league in. this world great👏🏻
I love the video but why you jump from 2000 all the way to 2005 that’s a huge jump you didn’t document nun of those historic moments still an amazing video tho just saying if it’s a full career documentary it should be the full career
Glad you enjoyed! The goal of the documentary was to focus on Kobe’s growth as a player, and do so in a way that fit a realistic time window, so it made sense to focus more on his rise to dominance with Shaq, then transition to his growth as an individual player before the second set of rings. The second and third championships with Shaq in the early 2000’s are obviously big moments, but we felt the first championship run covered the dynamics of Kobe himself we wanted to touch on before moving on. Thanks for watching!
I cant think of ever crying so hard over someone i didnt know when kobe passed...RIP

exactly, its easy if you have all the tools ready to use. but kobe had to work to get those tools. it was not God given
Like the great Jerry West(rip) said, I don’t think I’ll ever get over Kobe’s death.

His death was tragic, but that coupled with playing for the Lakers makes him one of the most overrated players in the history of the NBA.
@@montrellspunk8923 Very unique take! Want to explain more why you feel that way?
@montrellspunk8923 a lebron jock sniffer who never watched Kobe play, would say something like this
@TriceOfficial he won't respond. He'll just regurgitate someone else's ridiculous take
Magic Johnson promise that he was going to do the real kobe Bryant documentary but he didn't do it
