Man Melo and Kobe going at each other during the 09 WCF was one of my favourite matchups ever. Coldest bucket getters ever.
Facts , Nuggets almost got that too
Kobe was eating JR Smith up
We talked about this the other day that matchup was crazy but LA was just to much
Im that too
Top 5 series all time
You know for a fact Kobe KNEW Melo was bigger and stronger than him. You think he cared? Yeah, he cared. He cared so much he wanted to guard Melo. I recommend people go watch the clip of them fighting in the post or even the whole series. You don't see that nowadays which is sickening. Thanks Melo and Kobe for the good memories!
Yep and Kobe said during the postgame interview "I'm a bit outta my weight class but ..." ooops I'm gettin old I forgot the rest lol
Basketball might never be that exciting again. The western conference from 05-10 was crazy
Thats Melo and Kobe showing respect to each other. and we dont see that anymore today. today is like YO WE ALL FRIENDS, WE HERE TO CHILL
Kobe was the one guy I think Melo used to actually try to defend. They brought the best out eachother type shi
Facts!
Yeah those battles every time they played... Melo was not interested with the other stars lol😅 really miss Kobe that man and Gigi deserves to be here 😢
Facts, Melo guarded Kobe with some serious pride & effort
He only tried to defend Kobe to make Kobe think he was a complete player.
As a Kobe fan Melo I feel like Melo was Kobe toughest guard…..especially on the block Melo was a bully!
Kobe bean i went to my local bar when he passed the first time i ever seen grown men crying. Kobe was different.
Irony is Kobe wouldn’t have cried.
@@theonewhoisbetterthanyou3570 never thought about that interesting
Naw you just wouldn't have seen him do it in public lol bro was still human. Goat tho @@theonewhoisbetterthanyou3570
@@theonewhoisbetterthanyou3570u don’t know that
Those grown men were kids during Kobe's greatest basketball moments , he was like a superhero to many of us😅
Melo brought out the physical aspect of Kobe game… Melo was a monster in the post. That was a challenge to Kobe
Kobe actually said Melo was one of toughest players he had to guard. He was physically so strong that you couldn’t move him off his spot.
Homeboi was tryna crack jokes the whole time but you can just feel the seriousness in Melo when speaking about Kobe
Kobe will always be the best to me. I’m aware of Jordan bron etc but as someone who played his whole life his mentality is what I admired so much and how much he went through and kept going. The game is what mattered the most. He was basketball to me.
You could say the same thing about Jordan we just don`t call it Mamba mentality. Only difference is Jordan still liked to party and gamble. Kobe was all about the grind.
Well said - I feel the same way Boss
23 year old Jordan would beat 23 year old Kobe 10-0 if they played 1v1. It wasn’t even close
@@Charmander009And i bet your Dad used to beat your Mom one on one. Good times.
LeBron is still only on Kobe level. LeBrons legacy is very fluffy so to speak. Kobe had to play go through some historically competitive playoff runs, he beat and played the most 50+ teams in playoff history. LeBron always had to get him a other star to make up for his shortcomings.
Kobe respected Melo more than anyone in the league. That shows how dominant Melo was.
Did Kobe tell you this?
Yeah right.. Melo didn’t even wanna train hard like that. He even said he wasn’t waking up early like Kobe.
@@miguelrendon739lol
No he didn’t y’all swear y’all know who Kobe respected and didn’t he respected melo he didn’t respect him the most
Kobe respect Tmac the most imo
Kobe said Melo was his toughest to guard. RIP MAMBA 🥷🏾🐍
He said TMac was the hardest for him to guard
Huh ?? Kobe said the two guys that gave him the most issues in his career was Tmac and Durant.
He verbatim said Tmac caused problems cause he could do everything he could do but was just taller. And he said he never played long enough to figure out Kevin Durant’s weaknesses so KD gave him a lot of problems too.
Kobe said after 2 mins of guarding Melo he’s tired. He said Melo a bull. Melo is a 6’8 240 wing. Serious work
@mossimotiberi5741 Very aggressive and no he did mention Melo, along with KD and T-mac. I've watched every single interview he ever did.
He meant 2 say lebron
I Will Always Have Respect For Melo, He Was One Those Guys I Grew Up Watching In The League.💪🏾💪🏾💯💯
kobe didnt say it but he had a greater respect for Dwayne Wade. and Carmelo because they was not scared of him. like some other player😏...with those 2 it was elbows and insults all game but hugs after the game and most of all RESPECT by the Mamba.🐍🙏🏀
Kobe respected anyone that put in the work and didn’t back down from him.
Love how he chose his words respectively 🏆🏆
Hearing Melo speak of how the team was and how out of place Kobe was at times, this is why I feel the Dream Team is the greatest team assembled because all of them had that serious attitude Kobe had fr
Even though nuggets lost. Melo was giving Kobe Buckets.
Yea talk about how Kobe dropped 40 on them game 1 say it all
Kobe was dropping everybody off in those playoffs. They played hard and he turnt it up even more
@@rawdogtv4878and Melo dropped 39 on Kobe
Melo was giving. Anybody who guarded him buckets but the same can be said for Kobe brotha
They was both dropping buckets fasho who won it all tho
Kobe the 🐐
I will never forget the 09 WCF‼️CLASSIC 🔥🔥🔥💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🙏🏽RIP KOBE👌🏽
Lakers vs Denver was crazy some of the best I seen we miss you Kobe
What’s crazy is everything he saying is 100% true seen it with my own eyes
I love the respect melo got for Kobe
Melo broke down mamba mentality perfectly salute 🫡 melo RIP KOBE you truly MISS
Hearing one of my favorite players talk about my favorite player is heartwarming. The bit where he talks about the creation of the black mamba is staggering.
Its cool to know that he and Melo had such a dynamic despite one being in the league several years before the other. Its almost like Bron and KD or Bron and Steph. The dynamic that you'd usually only expect from guys of the same year or closer in rookie entrances.
Epic battle for sure..Melo was on one..Mamba stayed level up..shout out Melo for earning that respect! Mamba we miss you! Love this pod.
Dear Melo, Denver is wrong for giving yo number out bro bro. No top 75 players number should be worn period. Forever 1 of the best too do it plus swag on fleet. RIP Kobe Bean.
Kobe had to earn respect and was hated even to this day. That's why you had to earn his respect the same way he had too.
This is how I know I always been right about Carmelo and how great he been…the players just speak on him in a different light he just never had a great roster for even a 2-3 year stretch
@@IGcantstopfactsbreh Tim Duncan had: Tony Parker/Davidson Robinson Manu and deeper rosters…Kobe Had Gasol Bynum Odom DEEP rosters! Melo had Iverson but that’s not enough to win in the west and don’t get me started with The Knicks
@@IGcantstopfactsbrehno after the wcf in 09 what did Denver do to improve that team?? They should have built off of that
@@JustinGill-cl5yo Ty Lawson…Aaron Affalo…he just gave up way too premature
We'll always miss you Black Mamba.
People been at Melo's neck lately for the Jokic shit but this proves why Melo will always tell real stories from his perspective. I know what he meant around the 14:00 mark when talking about Kobe going thru his personal troubles but hitting the game winner. And for that to happen AGAINST the team representing Colorado when his case was in Colorado is just a whole nother level of focus and drive.
There's a couple things that I think Melo needs to address more, but there's one thing that ain't debatable. He genuinely had love for Kobe. That's a rare group of people in and of itself but I ain't gonna go there.
Mamba Forever.
Which other NBA group/player else was hating kobe? I know there are a few but who are the main ones? (celtics and kings??)
Rip Kobe
Kobe approached the game the way an artist or philosopher would. Everything had an intention to it. 24 had symbolic meaning. He studied hunting cheetah's tail movements to improve his fadeaway. The guy was obsessed
Respect is key in my life blessings rest in paradise Kobe
Damn this was epic I know mero was really feeling it you could tell. Melo broke that down in a whole new way .y’all killing it on a other level
Melo is “da sheeeet”, we miss him in NY
RIP Mamba...That mentality is definitely missed.
Bro...... what.... do you know how long we been waiting to hear from melo.... one of the realest.... im watching everything with his name on it.... pause. lol
Kobe had his headphones 🎧 on with no music 🎶 playing
Listening 👂🏾 to what everyone was saying
This was a great segment. Appreciate Melos insight. Appreciate not going into details about the trial but we all know. Much respect. Great battle against each other in the western conference. One of my favorites 🫶❤️🙌
Carmelo should of signed with the lakers
If Melo joined SuperTeams he would have a Ring too 🏆
Thank you melo
Fr I needed this
SOOO THANKFUL FOR THIS POD MY BROTHERS !!!!! 🫡
Kobe respected MJ, AI, Melo, KD, LeBron, TMac, and Vince.
I feel like if you’re were a super star and your work ethic was minimum on his level u got his respect tbh
Don’t forget Curry
He respected Tim
@@LLBWill I agree 👍🏿
& Wade
Carmelo definitely a Gemini the way he was saying how he able to vibe with everyone
Me too 6/3
@California-king 6/3 you probably never stop talking 😂😂
All love though hahaaa
@@HipHopAn0n man off that alcohol…. I’ll have everybody taking a knee and listening up
I would’ve loved to see Melo and Kobe on the Lakers together.
“Dwight howard..chris bosh”😂 yall DIDNT CATCH THAT GROUP😂😂
😂😂😂😂
"Yes, that's a special crew right there "
Men only club
😂
It’s funny how we have never heard any scary trippy lebron stories especially from any of the greats yet he’s the goat. No one fears or respects him like they did Kobe. Black mamba forever!
Love this conversation💜💛🐐💜💛🐐🙏💯✅👑
Kobe my 🐐, appreciate the message. Stay M3700💫
Kobe RIP
🔥 🔥 🔥 And knowledgeable podcast 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽.
Melo salute brother Kobe rest in paradise legend🏀🙏
Kobe was a kid in the league wen there wasn't many kids who could ball wit grown men. Melo was a grown man kid.
I’m a Celtic fan but Melo was always my favorite player growing up and still is… dude always keeps it 💯💯
Such raw insight. Sick conversation.
🐍
Melo the real 2003-04 rookie of the year. 4th 824
I wish Melo would've just signed with LA and joined Kobe now, and I'm a Knicks fan
Being from Baltimore or ny helped a lot 💪🏾💪🏾 Iknow first hand
Kobe , Melo two of my top three best players! 💯💪🏼
Basically Kobe was Batman & Melo is Green Arrow. They have a lot in common. One is just more social lol
“Only two people you can’t talk basketball with…”
That went over some folks head
@@joshuainadagbo4771, the fact he says it like that pretty much tells you who the two GOATs are
NBA LEGEND SPEAKING FACTS
Tbh was not expecting the podcast to be this good, but i mainly listen to this and nightcap and gil arena, gald i subscribed and you can tell Melo was deeply affected when Kobe passed away, he can even bring himself to say his name refers to him as him
Melo got to be one of the realist dudes to this day his vibe and energy is just fucking real.
Kobe and Melo was the nicest nicest we all know this
Melo is literally the best Individual Player in NBA History.
Everyone has their right to their own opinion. Melo was nice af. But c'mon fam.
@@useyourthirdeye9083 Who was a better scorer of the basketball ? pure jumpshot from 3 point … dont let me get started on midrange. and was a brusier in the paint/post. not to mention he was a rebound machine. he definitely didnt get love from the refs like lebron… who’s a better basketball player ?
@@DaLocalNeighborhoodPlaya Lebron is easily the better overall player.
@@xaviervega468 na he nowhere near as tough… melo was a bull. lebron just looks bullish.. the objective is to put the ball in the basket.. melo did that on every part of the court. at the same clip if not better. Lebron scores better?
@@DaLocalNeighborhoodPlaya Lebron is #1 all-time in scoring. Carmelo is #9. They both were drafted in 03. Debate over.
I love them both🥰💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛and as a Laker fan wanted Melo to get a ring as a Laker😘
Killers Respect killers 💯
Melo Cool💯
Wish we could’ve gotten a bron kobe series
Miss those battles
Good content!
Putting chris bosh and dwight howard in a group is crazy 😂😂😂😂 freaky bois
The sad part is Bosh is straight & just has the fruitiest body language🤣
Yea I caught that too
People call Melo Overrated, I would say Underrated.
My two favorite players
Socks tucked Melo gives he ready to give a bucket at any moment. Even in that pleather rockstar drip
🔥
Melo a real one
Their 09 WCF battle is one of the reasons why im not hearing any Melo slander! Melo was like that. Dont let the mainstream media deceive you.
there wives was best friends so i think that helped there relationship grow
Melo best of the best they know
Roger Mayweather RIP Was Also Called The Black Mamba And Kobe RIP And Roger Passed Away Within A Few Months Of Each Other.
Melo on nuggets WAS WAYYYYY DIFFERENT THAN New York but i love both playstyles
Melo to me is the greatest offensive player ever he do things Jordan couldn’t do and Steph will never post up
Kobe just knew he was better basketball player then everyone on that team come on were talking about kobe he was the mamba
Oh yeah especially some of those matchup like when JR Smith was guarding him and Kobe was like He can’t fking guard me!!
A lot of people talk about stats and rings, but few people talk actual basketball, to me Melo as a basketball player has always been superior to "mr selfproclaimed" they also robbed you from the roty. Respect.
That shit was legendary
I'm going to be there when they unveil the statue, traveling across the country
Melo kick game is elite
Nah for real!
That glow is because of kobe's exclusivity. That wall he had up. The discretion and audacity
😊
He chose the Mamba because they are so ruthless they will eat there own young to survive. If you look at the official logos the snake is always swallowing it's own tail. That signifies willing to eat your own young to survive, or in Kobe's case doing what ever he needed to do to be successful.
Kobe said Melo was his little brother
Only a few players had that aura when they walked into a room, or a locker room, or an event. It was MJ, Kobe & back in day, wilt.
Magic too
💯
💜💛🐐🙏🏾
Melo buzzed out
“Two people you can’t talk to”. Aight Mike Aight Kobe… lololololol classic!!
✊🏾💪🏾❤️✌🏾
🙏🏿 💜💛
They diden have toughness without kobie they lost everytime without him until he came
This is one of the reason media never liked kobe because he was abit loner and they didnt get alot of interviews etc.
