It is such a joy to simply listen to him. This was a man who perfected himself through adventures and adversities. He would've achieved so much more. And the part he talked about Gigi carrying his legacy..omg..Rest in peace my dear dear Kobe bean
Mr Guy so it surprises you that they gave him a max contract??? Bruh it’s fucking KOBE of course they gonna give him max contract. And look at them now cuz KOBE retired. Duhhhhh
Kobe is like the most hardworking and intelligent engineering student in the college but at the same time speaks as smooth as a literature class student.
Miss watching him play. Either you love or hate him gotta respect someone Who gives everything thèy have to be greatest version of his self mentally, physically, and emotionally. Greatest athelete.
AOCLIVE Kobe had some of the worst moon man shoes I’ve ever seen, he also played poorly in the finals before. Plus James’ 11 soldier shoe is solid. Oh ya and KOBE is my all time favorite, but I still respect Bron.
Kobe Bryant has been the biggest influence in my life. I had the chance to watch him play in his final season, but didn't do so. Most certainly regret that. I wish I was able to tell him how much I've looked to him for advice, especially from his interviews. Rest In Peace Kobe
Kobe is so articulate and so intelligent but what he’s saying he’s saying it so casual like it’s common sense and breaking it down very simple. It’s brilliant
I love 💘 when he talk about his princess 👸 and Vanessa his eyes lights up ☝ he has such a beautiful expression you can't help but wonder what you and your family 👪 were doing. I love 💘 when he talk about basketball game and the Lakers they are all special to me.
This is a great interview with Kobe, very informative. Kobe such an easy person to talk, he put a lot of thought into what he is saying. Thanks again ESPN for presenting this interview of Kobe.
That was amazing and enlightening! I love when Kobe and Jay-Z talks. I love it when we get to become one instead of always fighting each other and being tough guys. Isnt that what sports are for? Afterwards lets talk love and business and helping the next generation. Thank you so much
Her interview was kinda lame to be honest. got a little better in the end. no back and forth. same question in different ways. Kobe just provided really good transparent answers because he's naturally a story teller
My dear Kobe you r gone but I will always and for ever watch your interviews and motivation. You are always on my mind every night before I go to bed. You are my eternal motivation. I love so much and will miss you forever. I’ve watched you since your early days in la. May your soul Rest In Peace with your daughter and the rest of the passengers. Peace mamba.
This is the first interview of him I've watched since.. Stepping away from his influence since, now I'm beginning to appreciate his articulate thoughts from different leaders I've been listening to. We need to appreciate them in times of searching for clarity.
I love how Kobe addressed the not having a boy to carry on his legacy, with one of his daughters saying, "I got this"!😂 East vs. West is so classic, but just making it an open pick-up game, is a pretty cool idea.
Thanks for sharing this story of being a real man and person great father husband handle his family life parents sister love pay attention to what is happening around you Linda j peace 💯💯💯
🐐 fucking sponge when it comes to learning I can listen to this man talk all day so eloquent and fluid with his word choice keep in mind he didn’t go to college
Man, I'm soooooo upset that his life was ripped 😤 away when he was just getting started on his next half of life. How can the stories be the same if it's not Kobi? They can't! My heart is broken 💔for Kobi. I'm so sorry and infuriated at that ignorant, arrogant pilot.
This is a mix of leadership and understanding who YOU are in terms of aging and growth. I appreciate the line of questions because it allowed him to reflect on who he is NOW and with the answers he always reflects to his younger mentality.
Why do people always hate man...ESPN just trynna do something in honor of Black History Month; a way to incorporate their platform(sports) with a topic that seems more relevant than ever. If you read the description, it says exactly what the series of interviews is supposed to be about. Yall wouldnt waste 20 mins of ur life if you read for about 30 seconds
Magic Johnson = 3 Mvps, 3 finals MVPs, 5 NBA titles, 9 West conf. titles. Kobe = 1 mvp, 2 finals MVPs, 5 NBA titles, 7 conf. titles. And Magic did his in much less time playing.
Eddie Bowles to be honest , Magic’s great and I know a lot about him due to research and film, but Kobes the greatest .. it’s due to Tenure, overall stats. Bro have you seen Playoff Kobe ? The man that dropped 81 points while bringing a team back for the W. And last but not least ... he holds almost all of the lakers Records for their franchise. Off that alone he’s the greatest laker.
No matter what people say or do respect yourself and respect others 💯🌈 his father is love kobe is his father thing change Kobe is giving his father what they blocked by time God bless Kobe 💯🙏 changes everything and people Linda j peace ❤️❤️💯💯
Kobe was very optimistic about how Kaepernick would do in his comeback attempt. Maybe he was thinking Kaep was more like Kobe himself, still working out like a maniac & staying sharp (or even getting better).
ESPN please do a interview with Westbrook, I looked all over internet and he don't give a shit about media. I am a real fan of his, he inspires me to be relentless
if you are gonna interview one of the all time greatest, a complex thinker and a very meticulous person then the interviewer needs to be on par with them. get it right ESPN
When it comes to interviews how good/bad it was is largely dependent on if you care for the interviewee/interviewer and if you agree w/ the answers. Good and bad questions are more often than not driven by what we would've asked or are curious about. Kobe has a gang of interviews throughout his career. No need to rehash them. The questions are appropriate for where he is now.
Mad respect for one of my fav players. On the real tho he kinda weird af. Leader on the court but passive off the court? Hard to wrap my head around such a fluid character.
Ive been watching the NBA since 1975. My top 5 players of all time are: Julius Erving, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson and Steph Curry. Kobe has to be one of the most interesting person. He was an intellectual. He could talk life and sports. His interviews are better than him playing. Because you learn so much about him. Its still unbelievable that he is gone
So what he's saying is, he missed shot after shot after shot in Game 7 so that he could make Pau Gasol look that much more important and so that he could allow Artest to look like a hero with an unlikely but timely putback to save him from what could have been one hell of a scrutiny. Got it.
Bring out Kobe's Passion & Opinions on the court of the players today. We wanna hear the intricate details that he sees. And opinions of other players c'maaaaan @ESPN. FX1 would have made this more exciting and tuned. #luckykobeagreedtothisinterview
of course it's MJ for Kobe ... you can hear it and see it in the way he walks and talks. I dont think he deliberately meant to copy Jordan but when you idolize someone tough for it not to impact your game/mannerisms.
I'm not surprise at the dislike percentage, I have been a Kobe freak since his teenage years but what a waste of 20 minutes of my time, obviously he doesn't get the blame for it.
King Glo, had the African American Nation given to the world only the black mamba it would've still been sufficient for such a nation to be praised, not to mention all the legends in every field,,, Helloooo I understand the purpose for the interview, I know it's about Black History Month but most of the questions were meaningless and sounded unprofessional, unfortunately the interview was very boring and that's why it has too many dislikes.
King Glo, I'm not sure if your stats are accurate but I can assure you that this has nothing to do with the race, simply is because most of the interviewer's questions are meaningless and unprofessional, to me it sounds like a 4 year old girl asking her father whatever comes on her mind.

His parents taught him this👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🥰💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛
"doing the right things in life, it sounds easy... but sometimes the easiest things are the hardest things to do" Kobe Bryant
Dropped on head as a child? Kobe had nothing handed to him just hard work and grind. If anyone gets something handed to him its Lebron.
Mr Guy Salty much... ???....gift wrapped is sitting on the bench and winning Rings... mr conspiracy... gtfoh
Dude... Who's Kobe you were watching?
Mr Guy still can’t accept it huh? After all these years 😂😂😂

A Legend has fallen.

NBA feels so empty without kobe
+Mr Guy he still lit up your favorite team only time slowed the black mamba and he stayed on one team more than what these current feminine players do
Mr Guy but DID he? fucking dumbass LMAO 😂
Mr Guy so it surprises you that they gave him a max contract??? Bruh it’s fucking KOBE of course they gonna give him max contract. And look at them now cuz KOBE retired. Duhhhhh
Mr Guy hmm well kobe brought 5 chips to lakers which is historic.. so you could be sad all you want 😂
Mr Guy worry about your own bank account hahahahaha 🤪
Kobe is like the most hardworking and intelligent engineering student in the college but at the same time speaks as smooth as a literature class student.
Makes me smile seeing his face. Rest in peace Kobe. 💜💛🏀🙏

in my opinion.. I agree..

Kobe the GOAT for managing to deliver interesting answers to poor quality questions
Kobe is so articulate and so intelligent but what he’s saying he’s saying it so casual like it’s common sense and breaking it down very simple. It’s brilliant
Kobe Bryant is a Iconic figure
Sean Carter true lol
GOAT BRYANT 🐐🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
I love the story telling aspect he brought in this interview Kobe you are appreciated
She spent the first 10 mins asking the same question in 100 different ways. That's amazing lol
Hard to believe he is gone at only 41. Prayers for his family and the family of others lost.
In an alternate universe, people are able to listen to Kobe's wisdom in these interviews 😔💜💛 One of the smartest athletes I've ever heard talk
My Goat
I love 💘 when he talk about his princess 👸 and Vanessa his eyes lights up ☝ he has such a beautiful expression you can't help but wonder what you and your family 👪 were doing. I love 💘 when he talk about basketball game and the Lakers they are all special to me.
She almost asks the same question in different ways
Who is Bill Russell?
Do you know Bill Russell?
How do you know Bill Russell?
Do you like Bill Russell?
Why do you like Bill Russell?
Jehanzeb Bukhari that’s true and I’m a fan of hers but this is something Doris should’ve held down
Facts
this was terrible, literally reading off a paper, no back n forth. should have just emailed him the questions
She asked a lot about black athletes because it was during black history month
This is a great interview with Kobe, very informative. Kobe such an easy person to talk, he put a lot of thought into what he is saying. Thanks again ESPN for presenting this interview of Kobe.
I fucking love this man! Pause tho..
This is a great interview. She asked great questions and in doing so got fantastic and earnest answers from Kobe. Very nice.
Rest in peace kobe 💔💔
Bill Russel and Kobe, what a great pair. Both geniuses. That mentorship story is beautiful.
@Syz Amen
Jemele is the only person who could have done this interview. I appreciated it so much
Brilliant man!
That’s crazy, I JUST saw a snippet of it on The Jump like 120 seconds ago and thought I had to wait until Sunday to see it
That was amazing and enlightening! I love when Kobe and Jay-Z talks. I love it when we get to become one instead of always fighting each other and being tough guys. Isnt that what sports are for? Afterwards lets talk love and business and helping the next generation. Thank you so much
Kobe your one of the NBA players legend I know with a lot of rings
Lol at the Jemele haters finding anything to say negative about her. Y'all are weak AF.
Derek Bowe, Jr. Thank you
Her interview was kinda lame to be honest. got a little better in the end. no back and forth. same question in different ways. Kobe just provided really good transparent answers because he's naturally a story teller
I always gain knowledge and become smarter after watching a Kobe Bryant interview 💯 RIP KOBE & GIGI 🙏🙏🙏
My dear Kobe you r gone but I will always and for ever watch your interviews and motivation. You are always on my mind every night before I go to bed. You are my eternal motivation. I love so much and will miss you forever. I’ve watched you since your early days in la. May your soul Rest In Peace with your daughter and the rest of the passengers. Peace mamba.
Kobe is addicted to greatness

I absolutely love Kobe I love listening to him mamba forever legends live forever
This is the first interview of him I've watched since.. Stepping away from his influence since, now I'm beginning to appreciate his articulate thoughts from different leaders I've been listening to. We need to appreciate them in times of searching for clarity.
Well said Kobe brotha! Peacefully ✌️ ❤️ ✊
I love my Boy🥰💜💛💜💛💜💛 even in reruns 😘💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛l miss you Kobe 😘💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜 l love you too Jemele🥰
Rest In Peace 💕🐍
💘 but alive....thank u KOBE...
Never heard Kobe speak on social issues. This was a pleasure.
I like our chances to do it again, too, Kobe. Fly, Eagles, Fly!!
Kobe says you should make the right play. (TRANSLATION: Gimme the damn ball and get out the way!)
6,000 + career assist....
If you ever had a Kwame Brown, Smuch Parker, Devean George, etc. as teammates, you'd do say your translation as well.
Geramiah hater
5 rings being the #1 or #2 option so it worked.
I love how Kobe addressed the not having a boy to carry on his legacy, with one of his daughters saying, "I got this"!😂 East vs. West is so classic, but just making it an open pick-up game, is a pretty cool idea.
His oldest daughter has his legs and the little ones have his eyes 😘💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛

Great Interview!!! ✊🏾✊🏾
🐐 fucking sponge when it comes to learning I can listen to this man talk all day so eloquent and fluid with his word choice keep in mind he didn’t go to college
R.I.P. KOBE. MISS YOU SO MUCH😥😥😥😥😥
This interviewer asking the same questions all over in disguise lmao
Man, I'm soooooo upset that his life was ripped 😤 away when he was just getting started on his next half of life. How can the stories be the same if it's not Kobi? They can't! My heart is broken 💔for Kobi. I'm so sorry and infuriated at that ignorant, arrogant pilot.
Spell his name right?
His spirit lives forever 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾that doesn't die 😘💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛
5 years since his death tomorrow. Lost such a dedicated, hard working, intelligent father. Sad. RIP Kobe.
I'm hurt knowing that you are not here heartbroken 💔
This is a mix of leadership and understanding who YOU are in terms of aging and growth. I appreciate the line of questions because it allowed him to reflect on who he is NOW and with the answers he always reflects to his younger mentality.
I just wish she asked more about family and basketball instead of “black politics” and lead him to speak for every black athlete/celeb.
The NBA lost a real ambassador when it lost Kobe.
Replace NBA with world in 2020
The definition of class.
OMG.KOBE G.O.A.T,
Why y’all hating on jemele 🤦🏼♂️ at the end of the day she making bank for interviewing a legend like Kobe
Why do people always hate man...ESPN just trynna do something in honor of Black History Month; a way to incorporate their platform(sports) with a topic that seems more relevant than ever. If you read the description, it says exactly what the series of interviews is supposed to be about. Yall wouldnt waste 20 mins of ur life if you read for about 30 seconds
Great interview. #BlackMamba #NBA
Kobe was hilarious when talking about the Eagles..if I shift to the right...pretty cute to see him lighten up!
GOAT Laker
Magic Johnson = 3 Mvps, 3 finals MVPs, 5 NBA titles, 9 West conf. titles.
Kobe = 1 mvp, 2 finals MVPs, 5 NBA titles, 7 conf. titles.
And Magic did his in much less time playing.
Eddie Bowles Magic played in a joke Conference during a far weaker era than what Kobe played in. The modern game is leagues better.
Eddie Bowles kobe played wayyyy harder comp.
Eddie Bowles to be honest , Magic’s great and I know a lot about him due to research and film, but Kobes the greatest .. it’s due to Tenure, overall stats. Bro have you seen Playoff Kobe ? The man that dropped 81 points while bringing a team back for the W. And last but not least ... he holds almost all of the lakers Records for their franchise. Off that alone he’s the greatest laker.
+sorry, idgaf. Sorry young fellow Kareem the greatest Laker , the greatest scorer in the history of the league he truly was unguardable
No matter what people say or do respect yourself and respect others 💯🌈 his father is love kobe is his father thing change Kobe is giving his father what they blocked by time God bless Kobe 💯🙏 changes everything and people Linda j peace ❤️❤️💯💯
Shame on you BSPN,his whole career you belittled him and now he gives you an interview.
Kobe was very optimistic about how Kaepernick would do in his comeback attempt. Maybe he was thinking Kaep was more like Kobe himself, still working out like a maniac & staying sharp (or even getting better).
ESPN please do a interview with Westbrook, I looked all over internet and he don't give a shit about media. I am a real fan of his, he inspires me to be relentless
Should of asked who's the best player in the world right now
and who would he draft first, KD or Lebron
but as usual, asking the easy questions
The WallStar why she gotta be all that. She asked a legit question referring to Shaq and Kobes beef 😕
The real Goat
🐐🐐🐐🐐
I wish she had asked more questions about the current teams and players...
A scientist on the court and a scientist off. Miss you bro!
if you are gonna interview one of the all time greatest, a complex thinker and a very meticulous person then the interviewer needs to be on par with them. get it right ESPN
I love seeing those that hated the interview. I wonder why? Lmao...
Jemele Hill is a great interviewer
Hello my friend kobe😊
If I make it to the league im looking to Kobe and lebron for advice
When it comes to interviews how good/bad it was is largely dependent on if you care for the interviewee/interviewer and if you agree w/ the answers. Good and bad questions are more often than not driven by what we would've asked or are curious about. Kobe has a gang of interviews throughout his career. No need to rehash them. The questions are appropriate for where he is now.
Jemele Hill should go to CNN
lol
Mad respect for one of my fav players. On the real tho he kinda weird af. Leader on the court but passive off the court? Hard to wrap my head around such a fluid character.
Kobe is my God
It's disappointing to hear how Kobe had to reach out to others for the next transition of his life. So sad Kobe refused to reach out to his dad!
@Norma Scott ,well ,you really don't know that he refused to reach out.Maybe he did or did not.We only know what's put out on social media.
GOD BLESS THE MAMBA #KB24EVER #ko8e24
Beautifully Stylized 🏀🙏🏽
10:42, great line
Jemele Hill just gives me the feel of a trouble maker.

5 ad breaks on a 20 minute vídeo? smh
I know, I know... it was a very well produced interview and all, but damn, you guys are going nuts with the ads
UA-cam gotta get paid bruh
What shoes does Kobe have on ?
there's one reason i want to die and that's because i could finally meet kobe.
I'm not surprise at the dislike percentage, I have been a Kobe freak since his teenage years but what a waste of 20 minutes of my time, obviously he doesn't get the blame for it.
Marc Samro Wonder why it was a waste of time? Because he’s reminding you he’s black?
