Never get enough of the Kobe stories 😄 ... Kobe probably scared off some free agents because not everyone is basketball at all times 😆😆😆 RIP my GOAT Mamba 🙏🏽
Haha for real. I’ve seen other interviews with him talking about Kobe before he died and it seemed like he didn’t really mess with Kob. So I could tell that was hard for him to admit Kobe cooked him.
KG definitely is for sure! He was heartbroken when Kob passed. He couldn’t be found. Didnt do any interviews, wouldn’t speak about it til way later, wouldn’t even touch on the topic until he was ready. He had mad love and respect for the Bean.
@@WhatIsaysGoes it’s not that he was before his time but MJ was so dominant that his time never came, same for many other greats. I do think the game has evolved to the point where everyone can showcase their unique style now a day, which is good because we can appreciate and give them their flowers during their Primes.
@@randyho8315 Basically Jordan,Pippen and Coach Jackson was unstoppable. It wasn't fair back then at all. Had alot of 90's dudes forgettable. I agree with you
rider was really a unique payer in the 90s! big guard and his 3 was aways there and it stayed consistent year in year out! to play all of them years in the 90s and to shoot like he was at his size is crazy!
By the time Rider went to the Lakers though, he was already basically done. Petty sure he'd had 3 straight years shooting under 42% from the field, and two out of 3 seasons at only 32% or lower from 3. He was over. Kobe wasn't measuring himself. He already knew Rider was no longer a premier 2. He was sending a message to make sure Rider knew it, too. Delusions of grandeur are a b*tch.
I’m sure the average guy would not be able to decipher what JR was saying, but those who know, we know. Bean is and will always be my guy. Keep these stories coming, they give me the goosebumps.
Prior to this interview Smokin joe isiah rider has a lot of smoke weed on his head going, rider would never and had never beaten Eddie Jones. Eddie Jones got the best of him in the playoffs
Bro, just tell the truth you got embarrassed the whole time in LA by Kobe. You could’ve saved everybody all of this 10 minutes of you talking just straight out say he embarrassed you.❤
Hey J.R. I was a big fan of you. Even when you was with Portland. Learned to play at the low post cuz of you cuz you were hard to stop there. I really loved it when you joined the Lakers. That year we went to stacked. Much love!
JR hit 1 of the craziest shots I have seen till this day. Anyone remember when he went to save the ball from going out and threw it behind his back and made it. I must of been 10yrs old watching that lol
Horace Grant, Devean George, Brian Shaw, Ron Harper & John Salley all told the story of how Kobe absolutely *DEMOLISHED* JR in practice & essentially ended his career.
Man Kobe, KG, and Jermaine O’Neal in particular were all older than me but were still kids getting the spotlight! Wasn’t like anything I’d seen at that point! Was still the days of 2-4 years of college before jumping to the league… that one and done and the straight from HS train was fully rolling after 97’
I agree after Kobe retired I knew the golden Era of bball was coming to an end... not too long after Kobe retired the rest felt they can too I feel like cause duncan,kg,dirk,and wade all retired the next year ...now the hba is a cupcake 3 point league were they r afraid to even touch eachother let alone actually guard
I want somebody else that was there to describe this situation. I want to hear how the flame broiling went. Who got dunked on & hit with the most moves.
@@draya.7441 🤣🤣That's what I'm saying. I can tell when somebody ain't telling the whole story. Boy starts but ain't going into no type of detail. KG looking like 👀
Soon as he said he was "old school, jet skiing, surf boarding, and chilling" I already knew Kobe destroyed him 😂. Bro had a whole bunch of excuses, and the story took forever 😂.
Dude straight up lied and said Kobe didn't pass alot....but he led the Lakers in assist during the entire 3peat. And wouldn't admit cleanly that Kobe busted his ass 1 on 1. Smh the disrespect....

JR a little delusional about where he was as a player when he joined the Lakers. Kobe had already was elite, ironically JR was a diff version of the guys he mentiond. Eddie Jones & Bonzi.

Was Kobe trying to prove his dominance, test himself against a proven vet, or just help get JR in shape, by only wanting him to guard him. Or maybe all of the above.
People do not give JR his respect. Saw him play in some crazy environments in college where he shut the crowd down to the point that everyone just left asking questions about their whole life choices. He was something else.
The difference between past players talking about mj and kobe, versus talking about LeBron. I can imagine when the dust is settled...a player like Paul George coming out " LeBron, was a nice dude. He pass the ball a lot, he wasn't the dude to take the last shot. He cared out stats and records, but he a nice dude with a smile, he tried to recruit me. I mean LeBron just a nice dude" 😆
Lol that’s what I’ve been thinking about as well. LeBron doesn’t seem as mythical as Kobe. Even before his death players were saying all these crazy stories about Kobe. I don’t think they’re gonna say much about LeBron after he leaves other than his crazy numbers
Eddie Jones brought me to the Lakers as a fan. Kobe had me stay a Lakers fan forever.
Eddie will always be lakers royalty to me 🙌🏾
Eddie Jones was the original Black Mamba you can see a lot of Eddie in Kobe's games
He was really good

I jus said lol he beating around the bush wit this story 😂
Kg holding the ball, while interview going on, is a unique touch. On point, pure ball talk 👍
Heard so many great Kobe stories through the years... Wow this was painful 🤦🏿♂️
LMAO, right?! I fukin thought it was going to go somewhere. This was a 5 second story, FUK
I’m happy players are keeping Kobe’s legacy alive.

Bruh EXACTLY 😂😂😂😂😂
Have some respect. JR was a dawg and could drop 20-23 pts on your head every night
@@poloregal wtf that gotta do with the comment 😂 nobody said he sucked
I think he was just telling the story in his way
LMAO...I was thinking the same thing...and in Shaq's book it was a lot more detailed about that 1v1 game.
the longest way taken to just say Kobe bust my ass. you wasn’t in the games so you had all that energy to guard him in practice. 😂😂
“When I get in shape we gon run that back”, that’s the difference with Kobe, ain’t no getting ready
He lying it happened after
🤷🏽♂️Bruh answered this question like a politician. Its ok bruh...we know that 00-01 Kobe was already 🔥.
JR gave the league the business, his post game was Elite. Great story

Jr was a monster in his prime Kobe definitely respected JR,s game
Respected it enough to want to put his name of ass whooping on his resume 😂
You guys have been two of my favorite basketball players of all time I appreciate this
To me the story wasn't about Kobe cooking him at 1-1 or not.. It was about this young dude was ALWAYS about basketball. That was his life!
That's how you become the master of any art.
Kobe took basketball as his gift from God he studied the game he wanted to be better than the best
Miss you Kobe, my 🐐
Just admire Kobe hated losing ,was obsessed with winning,driven, determination and passion my goodness awesome impressive.
What an amazing conversation 🥲... conversations that wouldn't came to light if podcast didn't exist

So Kobe has been kicking ass... 🏀

Isaiah ended his own career by being a headcase wherever he was.
Ron Harper not Derek Harper
Kevin Garnett is still one of my favorite players and i miss the old celtic roster Paul Ray and Kevin Perkins and Rondo
I forgot J.R had a ring
But this interview was dope frfr
That's because he was standing there like this the whole playoff run: 🤵🏿♂️ lol
I think he got kicked off the team before the playoffs. If he got out it was varajao type. Even less
@@ends15 He was in street clothes the whole playoffs and Finsls
@@koreypaul6698 I meant they had him off the playoff roster. My bad

Get Eddie Jones on lets here what he has to say
Absolutely! We definitely need Eddie Jones
This!!! All of this!!!
Eddie was an all star and absolutely I great player. Kobe was just Mamba mentality
“I was getting the better of Eddie those years” 😂 hella shade on here
No not really. Considering the career he had w/ all those teams over the yrs

Stop romanticizing bro. JR used to cook Kobe and he got fat. Let him tell his story.
He was one of the better guards before Kobe emerged, though.

JR WRAP IT UP!!!
The look on kg face like he wants to jump in a play now hearing the story 😂
Loved that story. And I also was J.R Rider fan, low how he used post other shooting guards and how physical he was.
JR the first player to do the dunk between the legs 🦵
