Kobe Bryant's Come Up with Darius Miles and QRich | Knuckleheads S2: Ep 1 | The Players' Tribune
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 чер 2024
- Season 2 is finally here! Knuckleheads with Quentin Richardson and Darius Miles returns in a huge way, with Kobe Bryant, aka “the Mamba,” joining the fellas. The three get right down to business, with Kobe talking about being the first guard to jump to the NBA straight out of high school, as well as about draft night -- specifically how the Hornets pissed him off before trading him to the Lakers. He then describes what it was like to be a teenager in a “grown man’s” league and how, in the long run, that was crucial to his success. The guys then ask him about his first All-Star Game, when he went up against MJ, and when Western Conference coach George Karl benched him for the entire fourth quarter. Kobe would go on to use Karl’s snub for years as a motivator whenever L.A. faced the Nuggets in the playoffs. “The Black Bruce Wayne” also explains how he developed his arsenal of basketball weapons, and how he matured into “the baddest man on the planet.” Kobe then discusses why he switched from wearing number 8 to number 24 - and why it was so important to him. And remember the time Kobe had 61 at the Garden? Well, it didn’t just happen. He says there was a reason he needed to go off like that, and divulges how that performance was crucial to the Lakers’ success the rest of that season. He then talks about teaching his daughter the game, and how cool it has been for him to coach her team. Finally, Kobe touches on battling through injuries and gives advice to anyone going through physical rehab. You won’t hear a more unfiltered version of Kobe anywhere! Season 2. Live now!

Who else is here just binge watching Kobe stuff
:'(
Me
I always watch Laker playoff highlights from when Kobe played. 💯👍🐍
I can't stop watching...
I am but it's hard for me still, I'm just frustrated and incredibly sad when I think of flashes about him on a random day it'll fkup my next few hours everytime I think about it.
I still say "Kobe" after I shoot a paper towel in the trash can.
Dave Chappelle made that a saying after throwing the condom in the trash can in his skit..
Do it everyday at wrk 😂💯
Me too
What other name can you say if your want it go in?
I still say MJ when I shoot...he is the GOAT. Kobe is the GOAT remix
Kobe was on the verge of something bigger than anyone’s imagination
Hyperbole?
@@Boston_CremePieNot really. Dude won an award for a short story and was going to completely disrupt the shoe industry.
@@123Mathzakand dude was already writing before his career ended
@@123Mathzak He was going to make his own brand
@@Boston_CremePie He was really big on producing stories and books to inspire children to be great, and alot more along those lines. He was planning something special, inspiring..
It’s actually unbelievable how big of a loss this man’s life was. He had so much to offer the world. RIP Kobe and best wishes to his family.
Literally felt like the world stopped !! And yes he had so much life ahead of him.
Kobe didnt even go to college and hes one of the most intelligent people I've ever heard speak
Just thinking tht , very tru
because school doesn't = intelligence. Kobe made the world his classroom.
Michael Khatib facts
College is overrated.
I didn't go to college and I have my own business and make really good money. Best thing I ever did was not go to college and get in debt.Schools overrated
D.MILES really asks great questions.
Q-Rich asks the questions the hood hoopers wanna hear.
PERFECT COMBO!
Rodney Williams exactly
Word
Facts!! Shit is dope
Rodney Williams I was kind of hesitant on the interview early on but they really did a great job. These two have a great dynamic because like you said Miles asked the great questions and Rich asked the hooper questions like how you score so many points. I will have to subscribe and go back and listen to other interviews.
I don’t want to say he is smarter they just attacked the interview differently asking questions we all want to know.
Still binging Kobe almost 4 years later 😢
Same lol
I'm a doctor studying for a board exam & Kobe interviews are what get me through
Good luck fam hope all is well
Hope the exam went well Brotha!
I know you Aced it!
Mamba Mentality knows no profession i see
I hope you become a great doctor.
Every time Kobe speaks, I learn something new & valuable about life.
Facts SnewJ.
U aint lying
SnewJ factssssss
That was the most educational and educative interview they've done. Unsurprinsigly, he had to be Kobe.
So SnewJ, how's Dree from the dirty D? I miss your VLogs 😆
He always sounds smarter than anyone that has ever interviewed him.
Ronnie Brown haven’t thought about that but
I would have to agree
billyracercar I totally agree with you as well. Dude is super articulate. I wonder what his IQ was?
So true. He sounds like a scientist, a coach or a practitioner of the highest order!
@@anthonycfletcher1232 he was a practitioner of the highest order
His interviews at 17 he sounded like a scholar that was way ahead of his time
24:03: discussion about double-teaming in pick-up games. Kobe’s response at 24:45: “you gotta send another one.” Cold-blooded, Straight Mamba.
not all heroes wear capes
devin booker waving at you xD
Lol that’s why these players on the same there isn’t two way players that are superstars it’s all offense look at Sac Vs Clippers Feb/2023
The crazy part was he didn't even mean that as a joke, he was dead ass serious lol
Your welcome kanye west
Kobe is always in my heart ❤
Both Quentin and Darius looking at Kobe like dang we can't believe we got the Black Mamba to do our podcast lol
Rikochet States the black Bruce Wayne
Anything to get out of the house.
Derek Jeter owns the Players Tribune, Kobe and Jeter are good friends. Only makes sense Kobe help out Jeters company
Kobe didn't change his diction for this interview.
Rikochet States lmfao. That’s goat 2000 shit right there. I just can’t believe Miles lost his Skinny, that shit is crazy
Hard to even watch this now. You'll be missed Kobe.
Came back too this. Hard too believe hes gone but this and all the smoke were nice interviews
Same bro I just came back to this
Its very tough Carl. Still just cant believe it.
RIP Moba
Agreed.
“Nothing to be done except repetition.” At this point, I watch Kobe interviews just to pass the time and soak in his knowledge. Love this guy.
Running past this interview now hits me in a tender place. This man lived and died for basketball
I must say I'm impressed with Darius Miles' interviewing skills.
Much agreed
Nore of the Drink Champs Podcast could learn a lot from this guy.

The way he explains the Triangle, Game Plans and Strategies in such an intellectual way just makes me feel that the whole Basketball world (including fans and the future players of the game) was robbed from the knowledge that this man can give. There are so many things that Mamba can STILL do and STILL contribute in this game.
We miss you Kobe!
Kobe was a true definition of excellence, articulate, humble , relentless , curious, god fearing man , great dad , great husband and fucking rich. RIP my brother until we meet again 🙏🏾🙏🏾
24:47 most Kobe answer ever! "What you say when they double team you Kobe?"
Kobe: "They shoulda sent another one."

D Miles is surprisingly good at interviewing and his voice tone and trajectory while changing subjects asking questions transitionally lol 👌 or am I buggin
You are spot on! Is it ME or does Kobe look like he really enjoyed this interview over others? Even Matt Barnes All the Smoke, Kobe enjoyed but not like this one.
He would have killed this podcast era especially talking about things we haven't heard before from him
Man Kobe is the MOST PROFESSIONAL athlete ever in my eyes. He was serious about the game. He definitely put his 10,000 hours in mentally and physically to the game. A true outlier
Beyond 10,000, I'm sure
@J calling his teammates soft should be counted as motivation
people dont realize how bad kobe was when he came into the nba and how long he must of worked to get respect from a team with jones shaq and exel on it..they never were going to give it to him he had to take it...like seriously he was the kid ...and he took it so seriously...wish more people cared like he did from 1999-2010...he gave it his all...
@@razkable "people dont realize how bad Kobe was when he came into the nba" Kobe was ranked number 1 in highschool he definitely wasn't bad his coach just didn't like him and the team was pretty good. But what I was say about Kobe (being his biggest fan) is that his work ethic out way his talent. Kobe didn't had Lebron or MJ level talent but he had the drive even at a young age to reach that level. Also say you wish more people care no one cared as much as Kobe no one worked harder so you can't compare players to Kobe but people do care some names like Giannis, Jimmy and so on and they work hard.
There’s only a few people I can think of that dedicated everything to their sport, didn’t drink smoke or party and worked 24/7. Kobe, Mayweather Jr and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Bruh I love how petty Kobe is "I would never let the Nuggets win a playoff series because George Karl wouldn't play me in the 4th Quarter of the 1998 all star game" lmao
Nothing new. Plenty of that during his career. Kobe wasn't a player to forgive, much less forget, anything he perceived as disrespect. If you did something to him he'd make sure he'd come back at you and make you bleed for it.
The best instance wasn't the nuggets nor George Karl. He destroyed the Nuggets in the playoffs he matched up against them. Had Karl not been the coach, he'd been out on a mission to destroy them anyway - it's playoffs mentality after all, right?. Of course that little extra motivation being there would spice things up but I don't think he'd played with any less focus had it been any other coach.
But the best instance... see. He DESTROYED the Mavericks in 05/06 scoring 62 in three quarters. In a freakin' game played in DECEMBER, not in playoff contetion, not in the off season...but when it wasn't even the middle of the regular season. Dude scored more points in three quarters than the whole other team collectively. He dropped **62 points in 32 minutes** He was everywhere. He was making fools out of everyone in the Mavs. They tried everything to stop him. Double teams, triple teams, shoving, pushing, EVERYTHING, he didn't care, he went on dropping points. And he was playing for an awful Lakers team against the eventual finalists of the NBA - it wasn't like playing a group of tanking morons taking it easy.
It was savagery on a scale rarely seen before or after. People talk all the time about Toronto and the 81pts game. I saw that game live. I swear he'd gone for 90 had he played the fourth quarter, but instead he chose to sit down and rest for the remainder of the game. For me it was his best scoring performance ever. Dirk Nowitzki rates it as the best individual performance he's ever witnessed on a basketball court.
The reason?. The Mavs was coached by Avery Johnson, but one of his assistants was Del Harris. Del Harris was Kobe's coach in LA for his two first pro seasons, the guy who was benching him most of the time on the first one, and didn't play him as much as he should have on the 2nd one.
And Bryant dropped 62 effing points in three effin' quarters of a regular season game (not playoffs - regular season) on them because of his beef with an **ASSISTANT COACH** on the other team who had not put him as a starter on his two first pro years in LA. Something that had happened **8 years before**.
I'm not sure if it was pettyness. I'd rather say that Kobe would settle his scores against you no matter what, no matter how, and not matter how long it'd take him to do it - but he'd see them settled. That's something I actually admire on that cat. But come on...tearing up your team, outscoring it in three quarters, because you are it's ASSISTANT COACH who didn't start him 8 YEARS EARLIER?... that's revenge taken to some ludicrous levels XD
ramjb oh it’s competition and etc but there is a level of pettiness that has to be taken into consideration
George Parker Facts bro. Compete
Latrell Hassell nah. Petty is for excuse makers. Every head knows when they do somebody dirty. There is no momentary blindness. Reap what you sow
Latrell Hassell cant be petty if basketball was his job/career/life..
23:09 The NBA granted your wish Mamba! Revamped the All Star game and made it more competitive. Even named the MVP trophy after you! We miss you everyday. RIP Bean!
Guess they didn’t listen to him this year!
Kobe’s last willing testament
Listening to Kobe…..Kobe makes u feel like he was everybody’s fam bam 💯💯💯
The black Bruce Wayne 😂
He really is too ahaha
You can see Darius Mile and Q Rich listening to Kobe thinking what they could’ve done differently.
Facts bro. They didn't have the mindset to be good
lolol facts
FACTS 💯 they are night and day
I think they both tried hard, but they have admiration for just how hard he went
I am sure most of us watch this and wish we had dedicated ourselves to a craft like Kobe did instead of only giving 70% and wasting time doing bull shit with our friends.
How does this gold not have 10M views?
can’t believe he’s gone.
he would be HUGE in attacking the weak nba of today.
he was the last of the old guard. the true masters
Wade? Carter? wtf you talking about.
Man Kobe is working 24/7! publishing books, giving interviews, helping out kids in his mamba camp, on top of that taking care of his family and still motivating the next generation. This man is truly a goat on and off the court.
👏🏾🐐
$harpshooter24 let’s not act like lebron doesn’t have a whole school...

What is he up to these days?

Kobe was such a legend. Hard to believe this inspiring man is no longer with us. Rest In Peace.
This interview hits way different in 2021 in many different ways.
Agreed man. So sad
Good too see brothers socializing off the court. The human side.
And without any drama
Ueno Ocean this is the best thing to watch wish more would do this
Lol what!!!!

Wish this could be longer. I can listen to kobe talk basketball forever.
Get off hiz planterz

you sound suspect
Real student of tge game
CheckOut MyPlaylist you have to be a CNJ follow
19:08 At this point he talks about how he had to get stronger to compete. I told my dad years ago that I noticed how much stronger Kobe looked after the air balls that he was shooting. This statement confirmed what I already knew. RIP Kobe!
He’s ambition to win,to compete and to master his craft is out of this world. Definitely a legend of our generation. We miss you.

Saddest day in history period. His death changed something. The world doesnt feel the same now

23:10 Kobe wishes the all star game would be revamped....he got his wish 😔
For sure he would've enjoyed playing with that kind of intensity in the 4th quarter of the all-star game. I know I would have loved seeing him in that format! 24/8 and 2 forever
Odds case we xx ž
Fuck ;(
I thought the same thing! To bad it took his death to make the game competitive! I hope it's like that every year until the end of time. #PlayHardForKobe
That would be a could 10sec clip to play on the jumbo tron before the all star game
My favorite Basketball player of all time. I mean I really love Kobe. Kobe is 1 year older than me. I feel like I grew with him. I have been a Laker fan since I was 5. And when we traded for him I felt like he was my family. This dude is my Goat. Kobe has bought me so much happiness as a Laker fan. I no nobody cares how I feel about him. But watching him it made me begin to cry because he was a big part of my life. Thank you Kobe for all the years you gave me. I use to talk so much trash because I had you. It will never be another Kobe. 🐐
Sigh eerie situation...That morning as his helicopter crashed, I was listening to this interview while traveling on the way to see my daughter.
Hit me hard
Kobe might not be here in the physical but he’s still here with us. His energy has spread over all of us

It frustrates me to see Kobe get skipped over in GOAT conversations. The amount of energy and focus this man put into the game of basketball to be the best is unmatched by anyone. To this day I’m still inspired to do anything in my life hearing Kobe speak about anything. Solidified GOAT after this video hands down. Two way killer who was going to give you 40 that night and still hold you under 5 points on the other end. No one can match the level Kobe is at for me ever.
I mean, over MJ? A man who was consistently the scoring leader AND defensive player candidate each year, in a league where defenders could be far more physical? Kobe is phenomenal. But MJ is the still the standard.
He can be your GOAT, he's not the GOAT of basketball though
Kobe is basically the Michael Jordan of the 2000s. Lets just agree they were both top level players

“Accidental Basketball” - I knew there was something fundamental that I disliked about today’s basketball, but I didn’t have a succinct term to describe it. Thanks, Kobe B. Bryant!!
soaky1 exactly
Lol Kobe is one of the best to ever do it, but kick and penetration isn't accidental at all
Jae Choi accidental as is you don't plan who is there to receive the kick out. Someone is just there
@@saxking101 ? That's by design, which is why spacing/shooting is the most important aspect of the game today. The Triangle takes advantage of bigger men being able to operate the post and passing across while giving the guards space to make a move or shoot, but a modern four out also does this except it is more oriented to shoot threes and layups.
Jae Choi by design? You can’t anticipate if the receiver is a high or low 3pt shooter. You just hope they’ll have a good enough look to knock it down. That’s not planning that’s just pick up basketball
