Steve G bruh that’s like pure foresight. I’ve heard crazy stories of MJ trying to get a competitive edge but for Kobe to memorize his specific movements on both sides of the ball and then to use that knowledge against him months later down the road to beat him is crazy. Reggie Miller will never live that down. I bet he felt he was robbed after hearing that lol.
@@BlackRoyalty_ one of the first things Michael brings up in the 1992 Dream Team documentary, being around all his main competition in the early and mid 90's, he would learn about those stars and gain an advantage. Talk about hyper-competitive lol. The thing that enticed him was not to win another gold medal, for the powerhouse USA basketball, but to gain an advantage. That's why he's seen as the GOAT to most and to me aswell.
As a Celtic fan I always respected Kobe during his career. Post career I have a whole new respect for him. Hes very open and personable. So much better than MJ in that regard. Dare I say, I am a fan of current Kobe.
Ned Orton, I can't stand how impersonal MJ is!!! He seems selfish in compliments toward others who aren't named Magic, Bird, Kareem etc. But Kobe is sooooo hated on!! Magic will always be number 1 player in my book appreciating any & every teammate who contributed to the success of the teams he was on!!!
The difference is MJ wants to murder life itself. He views everything as a competition, no matter how mundane. Kobe i think only was that way about basketball. You also have to wonder if MJ is irritated that he left so many prime years on the table with 2 premature retirements, so now he has to hear people debate his legacy. Kobe got injured badly so he knows he gave it his all. That changes how you look back on things.
dash4800 not even a competition, Jordan just thinks he’s God because everybody painted him as such in the 90’s. They called him the Goat after his first three peat for Christ’s sake, they gave him a high horse and he’ll never come down. Kobe gives credit where credit is due as a real man should
Al Chapo I don’t agree that Kobe gives credit where it’s due. I believe Kobe picks and chooses who he wants to give his credit to. When it comes to the Pistons, he’s always been a hater and it shows. Like how in this video he said “on the pistons thing...” he’s trying to downplay their place in NBA history. They weren’t a “thing”, they were the greatest defensive team of all time, even more so than the bad boy pistons who are right behind them at 2nd. And they ran the eastern conference for years. And if you remember when he lost to the Celtics I believe in the finals, he said in a post game conference “this isn’t the pistons when the bulls beat them and they disappear forever.” Yet 13 years later they re-emerge and beat YOU and your Laker super team in the finals? And you just completely disregard that in ‘08 like it never happened. Please. He’s not a real man about that. He’s just gonna keep jerking off the lakers organization and anything MJ or Shaq-related. That being said I’m still a huge Kobe fan
shaq demanded the trade and kobe brung him to the point of leaving after the snitching and the 2004 finals when he shot 38 from the field and 15% from 3 they was beefing alot and sold the bag
26:05 is the reason you probably clicked on this video...But before you skip to that point in the video i recommend you watch the whole video its that good.
RIP Kobe. First celebrity death where it shook me up. He is such a big part of the culture. One of the few people in history to be known by his first name alone. Peace KING!
Not a broken bone. A splinter of bone in his ankle. With a broken bone you can't play at all. I mean is not that I want to make it seem like a minor problem, because it wasn't. The fact is that most players in his condition would've signed off for the series. He didn't...with that bone splinter on his ankle. And a broken casted index finger in his shooting hand. And recurring knee problems that forced him to go through surgery in the summer of that year. And probably a half dozen of other health issues we never got to know about. Best part of it is we didn't know anything about any of that other than the finger (the cast was impossible to not notice) during the series. He didn't make any excuses. He didn't complain about not being in top condition. He didn't sit down in the bench on the (Valid) grounds he was barely able to walk without infiltrations. He instead stepped on the court and won, and let noone out of the organization know in exactly how much of an atrocious phisical condition he was. I always roll my eyes when I read the many comments and criticism about his awful shooting in that series particularily in game 7. People still comment that Gasol should've been Finals MVP in that series. Shit, I'm spanish, I love Pau to the bone, best player we've ever had by far and one of the most talented big men who've ever played the game...and Pau indeed had a MONSTER series in an all out war against KG, Rasheed, etc. He did merits for a finals MVP, no question... But Kobe WAS the MVP of that series. The legit one. Dude was literally a walking wreck and he still managed to push his team to win against an absolute MONSTER of a team as Boston after coming back from being down 2-3 in the series. That's beyond stunning, that's unbelievable, and that's something that will put him up there with MJ in the all greats for me no matter what anyone says.
I don't care what people say about you guys but you guys were the best people in our life of era thank you for the wonderful basketball bless you and your families
He was chasing Mike but notice how he never compares himself to others. He wants to be one of the goats and he is. And it's about sharing the knowledge and experiences among the legends and passing it on to the upcoming current players. The top all time players all bring their own thing to the table. Meanwhile fans and media turn blue in the face from arguing who ranks where. Respect all of them!
Kobe wasn't chasing Mike he was chasing the scoring title. When he signed that 2 year contract extension in 2013. All he needed was to average 19 ppg but couldnt shake constant injury. So his career could've ended a year or 2 sooner but 6 wasn't the number he was chasing
I loved the fact that most people hated on Kobe because I was a Kobe fanatic as a kid growing up watching him. I had so many moments where I could shit talk people in the name of Kobe Bryant lol
I can see him in a nice suit, coaching along their sideline though 😁 I think he would be a great coach to a young team consisting of Levine, Markanen & co.
he could not hack it as a coach. although that's not to be rude. magic couldn't handle it either. kobe on current lakers as coach would be like 5 games also haha.
bb oliver Magic was only coach for 2 games in 94 as an interim coach, not like it really counts and plus he doesn’t have the mindset for success as a coach like Kobe, Kobe is an absolute psychopath perfectionist, I really do feel as though Kobe would be a great coach if he does decide to become one.
He actually wasn’t raised military just shaq was Kobe’s dad was a professional player who played in the NBA and Italy but I still agree with your comment
SuperAchillesheel Please, Everyone, always treat Everyone and Everything with kindness, love and respect. Please always remember, Jesus is always there for you no matter what. Please open your hearts to love and please find Jesus!!!!!!!
Kobe never rested. I mean hes probably bugging guys like Plato, Micharl Jackson, MLK, DiVinci, Prince, Napoleon and JFK just because they would intrigue him
This is amazing, the two coming together on a documentary for the whole world to see and reflect on everything. I bet they regret splitting up, they could have won so many more. This makes me feel nostalgic
Kobe and Shaq....two of the greatest legends in the NBA!!! Its amazing how we don't see that competitive spirit anymore, that individual drive to what to out grind everyone on the court. You have players now wanting to jump teams to create "superteams" when things don't the way they planned.
OleDirtyBZA & with age comes maturity & wisdom, than u realize we're all human, we all make mistakes & life is to short to be mad over foolishness, it's just a game & we're grateful to have a chance to be bless to play this game
Dude.. kobe is literally a god of basketball.. almost everytime he talks about games he says the most left-field strategy type of stuff that I would never think about from my shoes.
The word iconic doesn't do this sit down justice.. An entire generation and cultural was in this interview... Loved every fuckin second of it! Thx uploader
When i was a kid n watchn these 2 do there thing n win championships i didnt realize what i was witnessing one of the best Duos to ever to do it. Kobe and Shaq 2 of my favorite players. Thank u for letting me see greatness they had LA crackin so much so we were even doin math problems using the lakers players stats in school lol great great times!!
Being a Pistons fan it’s kind of cool to hear Kobe reflect on the 2004 NBA Finals. I wouldn’t blame it on Kobe though the Pistons had a hard working Defense and good talent all around
Dude Ben wallace was a fucken beast that year. But i really thought lakers was gonna win tho. Thats when we had the super team it was a huge disappointment.
Kobe played horrible basketball. They let Ben Wallace defend 1 v 1 with Shaq, Shaq kept scoring on Wallace so the team kept feeding him which left Kobe frustrated and made him turn to hero ball which ruined the Lakers offence. Kobe was garbage that series.
Literally up past my bedtime and watched this whole interview. I absolutely LOVE Kobe! Love his game, love his wisdom, love his work ethic! He will forever live in all our hearts 🥲🥲 Rest in GREATNESS King Kobe (and Princess Gigi)
I needed to see this, as a huge LA fan, especially of this Shaq & Kobe era. This vid for some reason took a huge load off of me. I don't know why, but, this is what I wanted to see from them. Don't know when this came out, I might be late but, it definitely healed something within me. Guess it's seeing them one on one, and just talking & airing out all of their thoughts & feelings about each other, like brothers. And, it's humbling to hear Kobe say, that 1st championship together was for Shaq. So dope, best 1, 2 punch in NBA history, I even put them over MJ & Pippen, soley because of the "beef" that was there. Wish they stuck together longer, they definitely wouldve had at least 7 or 8 Championships, easily. Best part of this vid, was when Shaq said he tore his whole house up when Kobe won his 5th, lol! That was so humbling & dope to hear him admit, even though us fans already knew what it was, lmao! #LakersNation
In reality both regret their immaturity. They could have won easily 6 at least... Man should be hard to know that has a duo you destroyed what could have been the greatest dynasty in NBA.
This duo was/is everything too me, I’ve learned so much from both of them. From Shaq I learned too just abuse everyone in the low post. From Kobe I learned too be the hardest worker in the gym. These guys are Legends. R.I.P mamba
Wow so much insight it gave a new perspective on they dynamics between those two. That’s the best interview I’ve seen in a long time to have Shaq interview Koby and you can see the love, respect, and adoration they have for each other. Great memories! Thanks for sharing!
It really pisses me off how MJ fans and media under play Kobe... he won 2 without Shaq. 36:00 always with a broken finger seems like a decade in one of a finger. Media talking about a flu game... for "superhuman" please Kobe rolled his ankle during first finals and comes back and with the Celtics has broken finger and bone spurs and all the fans is cherry pick game 7 cause he shot poorly but had a sick amount of rebounds.
As the leader more important he believed in his team and they believed in him and he would lead them to win the Chip. Not that BS I AVERAGED A TRIPLE DOUBLE, WE NEED MORE HELP. MAKING YOUR TEAMMATES FEEL AS IF THEY ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH AND THEIR LEADER ISNT GOOD ENOUGH TO LEAD US TO VICTORY SMH REAL TALK!!!
So here's Kobe winning game 4 with 48 pts after a recent career playoff high Shaq fouls out with 2 min or so to go 1 pt game. Kings Series (Lose that likely no Finals) ua-cam.com/video/m7QZaZJu2yM/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/eNFvYFjeyLM/v-deo.html Kobe with a hurt ankle playing OT after Shaq fouled out. Many Kobe haters are MJ or LBJ fans good so no cramps or flu... a rolled ankle in OT crushing it.
not even close. anfernee hardaway as a rookie put up better numbers playing with shaq than kobe did for his first 5 years. they also went to finals their second year together and beat the jordan bulls. much harder when phil was coaching the other team. no, no, no, no, no. both hardaway and wade were better statistically with shaq than kobe was.
I embrace Kobe Bryant greatness grew up admiring his hard work and started applying it to my life thumbs up rip kobe gg and the others god blessed yall families
Kobe has one of the greatest mindsets a person can have & it's hard to not like the guy when you think about it. Expecting greatness from yourself & those around you is possibly one of the greatest traits a person can have yet people claim he's toxic for it.
Helluva GREAT clip... two of the realest, chopping it up like old friends should be able to do, because real friendships almost always have to endure rough, bumpy rides.
Kyrie wants to be like kobe .what I mean about that is how kobe wanted to leave the lakers because he didn’t want people to say that kobe won’t win rings without shaq. Kyrie doesn’t want people to say that he only won rings because of lebron . That’s why kyrie moved . #mambamentality

feelin froggy don’t forget they had Cedric Ceballos 😂
Better love story than Twilight
Shaq and Kobe remind me of biggie an Tupac but the basketball version of them
Nelsoe the Workoutaholic No.
BIG FACTS
I like that
Kobe look like Pac too lmao
Shaq never tried to have Kobe killed.
Being a Pistons fan it’s kind of cool to hear Kobe reflect on the 2004 NBA Finals. I wouldn’t blame it on Kobe though the Pistons had a hard working Defense and good talent all around
Freddy ..I live in Michigan. I’m a die hard lakers fan. I was so mad when The Pistons beat us.
Dude Ben wallace was a fucken beast that year. But i really thought lakers was gonna win tho. Thats when we had the super team it was a huge disappointment.
I still feel bad for the mailman.
Freddy that defense was great
Kobe played horrible basketball. They let Ben Wallace defend 1 v 1 with Shaq, Shaq kept scoring on Wallace so the team kept feeding him which left Kobe frustrated and made him turn to hero ball which ruined the Lakers offence. Kobe was garbage that series.
I came to the video just to hear why Kobe almost left the Lakers and watch the whole thing. Mamba and Diesel greatest 1-2 punch # Laker4life
Seeing the respect and love that comes from wisdom of old wounds with these two is something that is too beautiful for words to even describe.
Best interview EVER 2 GOATS reminiscing on their glory days doing wat they loved. Pure Gold
12pm 11/30/19
40 minutes of me smiling
"You remember playing against the Queens?" That's savage disrespect to Sacramento lol
What makes it worse is that Shaq is a part-owner of the Kings 😂
@@IntermitenciaMental shaq coined the nickname lol
Kobe Tribute video I made guys! Lmk what do you think!
ua-cam.com/video/LTPV7zrvo_U/v-deo.html
Greatest 1,2 punch, Big Little combo in NBA History
King Savage you a stupid dumbass
King Savage your a dumbass
King Savage I’m sorry if thats your opinion or not, but you are braindead
It's good to see this interview.
It really is.
Go Lakers....
Literally up past my bedtime and watched this whole interview. I absolutely LOVE Kobe! Love his game, love his wisdom, love his work ethic! He will forever live in all our hearts 🥲🥲 Rest in GREATNESS King Kobe (and Princess Gigi)
Nothing but love for these guys.❤️. Kobe won 5 babyyy😂😂❤️
I needed to see this, as a huge LA fan, especially of this Shaq & Kobe era. This vid for some reason took a huge load off of me. I don't know why, but, this is what I wanted to see from them. Don't know when this came out, I might be late but, it definitely healed something within me. Guess it's seeing them one on one, and just talking & airing out all of their thoughts & feelings about each other, like brothers. And, it's humbling to hear Kobe say, that 1st championship together was for Shaq. So dope, best 1, 2 punch in NBA history, I even put them over MJ & Pippen, soley because of the "beef" that was there. Wish they stuck together longer, they definitely wouldve had at least 7 or 8 Championships, easily. Best part of this vid, was when Shaq said he tore his whole house up when Kobe won his 5th, lol! That was so humbling & dope to hear him admit, even though us fans already knew what it was, lmao! #LakersNation
Loved every minute of this interview
In reality both regret their immaturity. They could have won easily 6 at least... Man should be hard to know that has a duo you destroyed what could have been the greatest dynasty in NBA.
the mamba was an asshole..he was consumed of his jealousy to Shaq.
Cain Marco did you even watch the vid
6 is a stretch. Maybe 4 or 5...but with the emergence of the Spurs, Mavs, and Suns...I highly doubt they would’ve had more.
@@lablueguy2000 xxxxxxc
@@BooBooDaFoo330 they would have kobe played in 3 straight without him and won 2..So easily they woulda got 6 still together
This dude kobe will scout players in summer just so he can be prepared
We woulda loved Kobe in Chicago… RIP to one of the greatest.
This duo was/is everything too me, I’ve learned so much from both of them. From Shaq I learned too just abuse everyone in the low post. From Kobe I learned too be the hardest worker in the gym. These guys are Legends. R.I.P mamba
Wow so much insight it gave a new perspective on they dynamics between those two. That’s the best interview I’ve seen in a long time to have Shaq interview Koby and you can see the love, respect, and adoration they have for each other. Great memories! Thanks for sharing!
It really pisses me off how MJ fans and media under play Kobe... he won 2 without Shaq. 36:00 always with a broken finger seems like a decade in one of a finger. Media talking about a flu game... for "superhuman" please Kobe rolled his ankle during first finals and comes back and with the Celtics has broken finger and bone spurs and all the fans is cherry pick game 7 cause he shot poorly but had a sick amount of rebounds.
Edward Brito And he made CLUTCH shots when the game was on the line. ALSO, HE was double a d tripped team!
As the leader more important he believed in his team and they believed in him and he would lead them to win the Chip. Not that BS I AVERAGED A TRIPLE DOUBLE, WE NEED MORE HELP. MAKING YOUR TEAMMATES FEEL AS IF THEY ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH AND THEIR LEADER ISNT GOOD ENOUGH TO LEAD US TO VICTORY SMH REAL TALK!!!
Edward Brito well put
Yea those first three championships were shaqs. He dominated, and most of the team liked him better than kobe.
So here's Kobe winning game 4 with 48 pts after a recent career playoff high Shaq fouls out with 2 min or so to go 1 pt game. Kings Series (Lose that likely no Finals)

Kobe with a hurt ankle playing OT after Shaq fouled out. Many Kobe haters are MJ or LBJ fans good so no cramps or flu... a rolled ankle in OT crushing it.
They both carry the L.A back then !! greatest Dou ever and the best 12punch combo of all time
#DieselMamba834
Kobe is like my little sister. Always got the one up on me. The way he looks at shaq. Thats the love you have for a brother. Best duo.
This was beautiful to watch
Shaq and Kobe had me crying in the end (co allstar MVP throphy) GOATS
And Shareef has the iconic Lob Pass Kobe to Shaq Tattoo.../ Shareef was like a nephew to Kobe...Man I missed Kobe.
This makes my soul happy. Damn I miss Kobe
you might say MJ is better than Kobe, but you can't say Shaq and Kobe aren't the best big/little combo the NBA has ever seen
not even close. anfernee hardaway as a rookie put up better numbers playing with shaq than kobe did for his first 5 years. they also went to finals their second year together and beat the jordan bulls. much harder when phil was coaching the other team. no, no, no, no, no. both hardaway and wade were better statistically with shaq than kobe was.
Lebron is way better than kobe as well,
@@bboliver725 I agree, but unfortunately Penny didn't stay healthy or that would've been a dynasty for sure...
@@Enoughsenoughnomas Lebron isn't considered a little.....
@@adriangarcia5908 he has run the point far more than kobe ever did
I embrace Kobe Bryant greatness grew up admiring his hard work and started applying it to my life thumbs up rip kobe gg and the others god blessed yall families
Great conversation. Wish it was longer.
When he was talking about reggie miller that is the definition of mamba mentality . Amazing to look back in 2018
2019 i miss kobe
This is beautiful man. Good stuff.
This just brought tears. RIP mamba
Kobe has one of the greatest mindsets a person can have & it's hard to not like the guy when you think about it. Expecting greatness from yourself & those around you is possibly one of the greatest traits a person can have yet people claim he's toxic for it.
Kobe...you're not an outsider anymore! Respect
It's nice to hear the "behind the scenes" from themselves
This man is great. I respect him more and more over the years. I am a big fan. Let's not forget this man. 8 and 24 retired.
Kobe is the greatest to ever do it. Period.
“That’s bbq chicken” Shaq 🤣
Bbq chicken is the best food on earth tho...
😂😂😂😂 I was so dead
This comment has 34............just like shaqs laker number
True sincerity, teammates, and overachievers!!! Love those Guys!!!!
Not gonna lie Horry was clutch asf
CJ2K- Daily Videos I remember watching that game I liked both teams at that tyme they both had good squads and horry hit that shot Woooooooooah
7 rings
Regardless of how many teams he's played for, Big Shot Bob will always be a Laker to me... #HorryForTheWin #YES #MarvAlbertVoice #TheGoodOlDays
such as Derek
CJ2K- TSTO and more! And / or wide open due to the whole defense doubling Shaq and kobe
Greatest. Sports. Interview. Ever. Thanks for the memories you two!
Helluva GREAT clip... two of the realest, chopping it up like old friends should be able to do, because real friendships almost always have to endure rough, bumpy rides.
glad they squashed their beef
A Izzy me too kobe and shaq is best friends they did lot together so is good that they are freinds again like old days
they did not lol. you need to read between the lines.
A Izzy lol Kobe lowkey ruined Shaq marriage
Ain’t no squashing beef at that point this was for the money
bb oliver exactly.
damn....these two could've changed HISTORY FOREVER had they got their shit together
I’m so incredibly Happy they did this ❤️ We’ll always it to come back to 🤗🤗
Kyrie wants to be like kobe .what I mean about that is how kobe wanted to leave the lakers because he didn’t want people to say that kobe won’t win rings without shaq. Kyrie doesn’t want people to say that he only won rings because of lebron . That’s why kyrie moved . #mambamentality
he could have waited a year until lebron joined us
ULTIMATESPRINGTRAP248 nobody with sense should want to play in that org with that terrible owner.
My nigga could have waited until his contract was up though. Shit he can come back now
nah, kyrie will never ever ever win another ring tf. can't count on two hands the number of players that can carry a team better than him
He not winning shit else bro
