If you dont have anything nice to say....

@@theartofcompetition5965 It's a simple question. I'm not trying to villify you. I have a stammer as well.

why did you mention pistol pete? was this talked about in the podcast i dont remember

nah i dont fanboy anyone. but clearly you do.

thats the thing. we need to put that same pressure on our selves outside of the game in practice. to work hard and prepare. It seems im super competitive during the game but not before or after.

That made my day. I just started getting back into it. I had an interview yesterday with a mountain climber. Post it tonight

thanks man , its comments like this recently that have motivated me to get back to it.

@@theartofcompetition5965 hey do it!! Videos like this motivate me to get back to it also. Iron sharpens iron

who is bo derek

@@theartofcompetition5965 from the movie 10 he said it in the video and I googled her she’s a baddie from 1979 lmfao

thanks bud you kinda motivate me to get back to it lol.

Even if that was an exaggeration it was pretty accurate. His ultimate goal was to win championships however he often had other motivations distracting him from that goal..... Ego

so recently (after this video was made) i heard kobe define exactly what the mamba mentality is and its not the "killer instinct" as the public perception of the mamba mentality is. its actually hard work and sacrifice is how he defined it. which that i can get on board with. but this killer instinct thing is overrated imo for the reasons discussed in my video.

you should subscribe help a poor youtuber out :)

it wasn't parker it was ariza and in the original video kobe said that passing to ariza was the right play but kobe said "i didn't see him open" so my video was analyzing that statement.

@@theartofcompetition5965 Ok. still... Smush should always be your last option.

lol ok. I mean the dudes name is smush how did he make it to the nba. @@jbwuzhere6819

Yeah for sure dont let the clickbaity title fool you i dont want to oversell what im preaching here. wilt is probably the greatest athlete the world has ever seen. And bill won 11 championships.(what does that guy have to do to get some respect on his name?) But facts are facts I just wanted to share them because a lot of people get the facts wrong and dont understand the context behind 100 point games and 50 point seasons. as a result they have raging hard ons for wilt and people love a good story.

yes he does contradict himself a lot. Especially when it comes to mindset. He preaches stoicism. but then you see him become super emotional on the court. The mamba mentality is overrated imo. I have a video on it on my channel.

do you think relying on breaking their spirit is a better decision than going for the "optimal" play?

@@theartofcompetition5965 yes, but not everytime. He was hot when he took that shot. As a scorer you have to stay agreessive when you have the hot hand. Now if he misses I guarantee he dishes it to his open teammate next time down the court.

thats a good point @@andiakpan8502

I mean right off the bat youre using "total assists" to make a point is faulty logic and Poor interpretation of stats. That stat needs a denominator if you want it to have any relevance. He won chips playing this way yes but i think he could have won more had he plugged this small leak of his. ( Particularly against the spurs). Anyway I think i did a poor job in the second half of this video explaining myself and went on a tangent and caused a lot of people missed the point. ( I also think this is because kobe fans are the worst fans in sports , completely bias fanboys) In sports psychology there is the ego driven player and the purpose driven player. Studies have shown the purpose driven player to experience more success. I believe kobe was often distracted by egotistical motivations and wanted the glory for himself and didnt trust teamates when there were many times that mathmatically an open shot from his teammate is a better shot than him double teamed. This is a mistake he often made. He overestimated his ability because of his ego. And he was overly optimistic about his ability because hes seen himself make crazy shots. Guess what... over optimism is the most powerful of all the cognitive bias. This is an obvious mistake by kobe. And one of his only flaws. But kobe fans have such raging hard ons for kobe they wont even admit the obvious ones.

lol jesus. kobe fans are the worst.

what contract incentives are you referring to? I think hes a ball hog because hes a glory hog.

@@theartofcompetition5965 how many shots their allowed to take bro I don’t know the details but I use think like that till hear o yeah it’s incentive in his contract. Come on bro you lebron got one too he just a pass first guy

I agree other motives deter the main objective

My pleasure thanks for your comment.

theres more where that came from if you help a struggling youtuber out with a like and subscribe lol

hehe i guess you didnt watch the video. So ill give you the cliff notes. In the video kobe says himself he should have passed it to ariza but "didnt see him open" thats kinda what im evaluating in this video. The title of my video just tends to trigger kobe fans :p

thats true and something i didnt really consider. If someone knows they have advantages it can motivate them to work harder. Like "I actually got a shot at this! " While someone at a disadvantage to dedicate their life to something that has a lower chance of success is a bigger risk and takes a lot of self confidence and self belief.

Was a.i. physically talented? He was quick and had some decent hops. But i think it was more of a skill thing that led to his success. In that era no one could really do what he could do. now every point guard in the league can do what he can do. but to be completely honest I havnt done my research well enough on a.i. to really be convinced one way or the other.

It takes a lot mental strength to wake up at 3 or 4 am and constantly workout, to shoot free throws with your Achilles tendon ruptured, to pop your finger back into place after it dislocated

@@klutchedup9 Try to be open minded and you will see past the click baity stuff and see my point. Its not that kobe is a bad option to emulate. but there are better options. It boils down to this...when you are 6'0 and unathletic you must have a perfect mental game to succeed. Why study anyone else?

we both made a mistake. hes 6'6. Kobe is one of the most athletic sgs of all time. Do you think hes both the most athletic and the perfect mental game as well ? quite the coincidence. anyway the point of that was that he has the ability to explode by defenders, dunk over people, shoot over people etc physical advantages. Where as Nash, curry etc had physical disadvantages. No hes not more gifted than bron,mj, or wilt lol. But whats the point of even mentioning that i dont understand.

@@theartofcompetition5965 I know bryant is listed at 6'6 but you can search it up, when vanessa measure him he was more like 6'4"/6'5"

@@theartofcompetition5965 agree with your point about the difficulty of being 6'0 and how you have to have an elite mental game to succeed

you make a compelling argument. I need to rethink everything now

It’s the truth lmao

@@trey2clean418 he lied lmao kobe ain't 6'7 🤣

clearly you didnt watch the video just triggered by the title lol

@@theartofcompetition5965 we watched it nice try tho , you literally started the video with “ when I was younger I never really liked Kobe “ since you think he didn’t pass when he did more than anyone on his teams? You were a hater back then and you still one .

@@theartofcompetition5965 all you did was call Kobe a liar and tried pretending ball hogging with offensive dominance. The best player on the world shot the ball more than everyone omg

@@eh697 its called speculation. how could kobe not see trevor open? that is so elementary... so regarding the situation hes either a) has terrible court vision, b)a ball hog c)lying about not seeing him open d)delusional. why are you so triggered? fanboy much? lol you dont have to be a douchebag just because i think your favorite player made a mistake. just offer an e) "explenation"

@@eh697 bro i was ten lol and that was the narrative in those days. chill

lol clearly you didnt pay attention to the video.

@@theartofcompetition5965 clearly you don't pay attention to the results..let's not get into basketball knowledge of game contest..you will lose badly. Kobe was playing chess.

@@samuellee2108 a kobe lover triggered again. your bias is showing when you act like a douche because your favorite player is criticized. You really must not have payed attention to the video and just read the title haha

@@theartofcompetition5965 your page won't go far...I was watching and playing basketball and studying the game before you were thought in your parents mind...scrubs like you don't understand Kobe mindset..you have a role player mindset...role players don't win championships. We're done here, chump.

@@samuellee2108 lmao the way you talk man your a real piece of work man.

Thanks man, nobody really watches my content lol. but maybe once im dead ill be famous like van gough haha

look at it this way. if those little guys like nash were placed inside kobes body. I think they would have more success than kobe did. just my speculation.

i think your misinterpreting the purpose of positions on the basketball court and why they exist. its a big conversation im opening up here. but let me ask you this... why do you think the point guard position is the most skilled position on the floor? (this is a very interesting topic to me i hope you can reply to this question)

perhaps i do have a limited definition of skill. but i think my definition of skill is more applicable to the language of competition. rather than a broad spectrum of topics. it seems to me that you are combining (or mistaking) ability with skill. if steve nash had the ABILITY to shoot over the top of people I believe he would have a better shooting fg% than kobe. If steven nash had the ABILITY to Do 360 dunks I believe he would have a better inside scoring % than kobe. etc etc. this is all speculation of course so well never know. but glad we can talk hoops without calling each other clowns lol.

@@theartofcompetition5965 That is definitely speculation. People can only work with what they have. A guy with a 6'6" frame can only work to improve his 6'6" frame. A guy with a 5'10" frame can only focus on how to improve his frame. Once you start saying 'If you move Nash into Kobe's body" without considering the myriad and complex ways changing a person's body type, experience, and abilities would affect that person then you're playing video games. It's possible Steve Nash worked on his "skills" because he had to. It's entirely possible that if you move Steve Nash to Kobe's body he could have been more lazy and got by on his improved athleticism like so many super athletic wing guards. This scenario is one of the reasons many people are so impressed with Kobe's skill level. He could have relied on his athletics but clearly didn't. Again, to see the difference between the same two body types, compare Vince Carter to Kobe.

@@theartofcompetition5965 I don't necessarily believe smaller guards are the most skilled. I think they are skilled but I also think the biggest centers can be just as skilled if not more skilled. I believe Hakeem Olajuwon is one of the best skilled basketball players to ever play. I need to catch my breath when I watch him play. I also believe Larry Bird is also one of the best skilled players to ever play and he's 6'9. I don't believe small guards have a monopoly on skills. They are also skilled in different ways. Some stand out. Some don't.

why not induce a switch and do this over billups? This would be a much higher percentage shot. a long two with an athletic defender like melo within arms reach of you seems like a pretty poor selection (how could he know melo wouldnt jump or raise his hand before he took the shot) perhaps its not the best example anyway thats not really the point i was trying to drive home anyway ( i think you realize that) . it was more about what kobe said. "im trying to break his spirit" meh not optimal imo. its a bit of a crutch to hope for that to happen. if that happens you would have beat your opponent anyway i think. I think thats my main point im trying to drive home here. That is a crutch. "break his spirit" just beat him with optimal plays over and over and over again and you will create a massive lead. rather than hope your opponents will is broken.

yah which fact did i get wrong?

@@theartofcompetition5965 Uhhh Walt Bellamy, Bill Russell, Nate Thurmond, Willis Reed, Wes Unseld, Walter Dukes were not “scrawny white guys”

@@TheGOAT-dr1sq ok i could throw out 150 other names that were lol

@@TheGOAT-dr1sq so which fact did i get wrong?

@@theartofcompetition5965 There were only 8 teams in the league😂

people say hoplas form wouldnt work in the game. is just people being contrarians. his form is super standard.

Saying he spent 3 hours in the gym and not missing doesn't prove he's better. There was a high school All-American where I lived, the first all-American from my area btw, that would wake up and go the gym at 530 am at the local YMCA where my brother worked.. anyhow he said this kid would shoot 200-300 shots before school with his dad rebounding for him but one day he asked my brother to rebound for him until his dad got there he said the kid made over 110 3s before his missed his first shot... he got drafted didn't play much but he was drafted. He is now working in the NBA.

heres my new video on the same subject ruclips.net/video/uNYYGO34MXs/видео.html

If someone like nash kyrie or curry was 6'7 and could do 360 dunks. I believe they would have been quite a bit better than kobe. If they can accomplish what they did at a disadvantage. Imagine what they could accomplish at an advantage.

oh and about james harden... check out my other video called "mental stamina" but to answer your question. hes pretty skilled. hes defintely the most skilled sg of all time. no one even comes close. but could he do that at 6'3 175 pounds? To be successfull at that kind of disadvantage. your discipline needs to be air tight! no leaks at all. you cant lose points to techs, you cant gas out at the end of games, thats not really a skill (debatable) its discipline but in order to develop the skill you have to have the discipline first. I think the big thing that people underestimate is the advantage that comes with being larger and athletic. giannis has no skills (relatively) yet is the best player in the league. lebron has no skill (relatively) and dominated the league for 20 years lol. shaq had no skill. So when you see someone like curry dominate the league the only explanation is skill. I give the crown to curry.

heres my new video on the same subject ruclips.net/video/uNYYGO34MXs/видео.html

i dont really agree with that. mathematically a wide open 3 from ariza is a better shot than a contested long two. which kobe alluded to himself in the original video. then he followed up with a half hearted excuse and says " i didnt see trevor ariza open" this is more what the video is addressing. How could kobe miss something so elementary? I think he did see trevor open but decided to keep the ball for himself. Why did he do that. why did he lie. (if my analysis is in fact correct) the conclusion i came to was a leak in his discipline.

its not even a 3 dude its a long 2. and a 6'9 all star was within arms reach. kobes just trying to own melo as he said in the original video. which is not optimal game theory.
