I told him to stop messing with me so then I googled it and found out it was true. I was just frozen. Then I went and told my dad and he smiled thinking I was joking and then I showed him the search results on google and he was shocked too. Then I ran downstairs and told my brother, mom, and cousin and they all couldn’t believe it too and had the same sadness I had despite not even watching basketball.

    I cant find where Kobe said this but Kobe taught me one of the most valuable lessons with a KD vs Lebron example.
    He said something along the lines of "If Kevin Durant simply wants to slow down lebron, chances are he won't be to successful at it. But if he sets his goal to absolutely shutting down Lebron James, he'll probably be more successful." This completely opened my perspective on life. You have to set your goals higher if you want to be more successful.
    I didn't watch the NBA until Kobe retired, I didn't keep up with him and his lessons at that point. But one of the few lessons I heard from him completely changed my life, you know he was a man of wisdom when such a small occasion from him just so happened to change my life for the better.

He said he didnt get to talk to him much but during the team meeting before the game, the coaches asked the team if there were any comments that the players had. Kobe stood up and said, 'Listen, I know this is just an all star game, but I dont care. I came here to win." Its one of the coolest stories I ever heard in my life.

    This is incredible work, Rusty! Thank you for this! Kobe wasn't ever my personal favorite player, but I grew to respect the hell out of him, and he was part of my life since I was about 5 years old, back in 1997 when I first heard about him. I wasn't an avid NBA fan until years later, despite playing basketball, but I would often hear about Kobe, in one way or another, pretty much every year of my life since way back when.
    Even though he was an incredible scorer, I will never forget him snatching all of those rebounds in Gm 7 of the 2010 Finals. It's not often that a player will completely change their responsibilities like that for the betterment of the team, but Kobe was seemingly EVERYWHERE when he didn't have the ball for scoring, especially during the second half. Long live the Mamba!

    I was coming home from the gym listening to him talk about him being a rookie and about he always had a chip on his shoulder. When i laid down to rest for a bit, i saw a notification saying what happened. I got goosebumps. Then it came out that his daughter was with him. I’ve never felt something like i did that day. I still, to this day, can not believe that happened a year ago. Rest easy mamba, gigi, and everyone else that lost their lives that day.

You are my favorite RUclipsr rn and my favorite video from you used to be when you said, “What the fuck” several times when you were reacting to the Clippers losing to the Nuggets. But now, this is by far my favorite. Keep grinding dude

    I'm 43 so I grew up watching Kobe. Never thought much of him tbh. Respected his talent, fully grasped how great of a player he was, he just wasn't my guy. Having said that I remember exactly what I was doing and how I found out when he died. It floored me. I was even surprised how hard it hit me when he passed. He definitely was taken too soon. RIP Mamba.

    This is one of the best videos u have ever made man. Grew up as a Kobe fan and this video made me so emotional, seeing his highs and some of his lows. Not to forget that u absolutly nailed his legacy. He was one of the all time greats but as u pointed out. What really made him stand out was his work and effort. Just wanna say thanks to u for making this video man, this made my day.

      Was at my little brothers birthday party visiting my folks and my mom told me he passed, I had to go sit in my truck and cry for about 20 minutes. I grew up just thinking he was a great basketball player but when I got older I realized he was an amazing dad, teacher and just all around inspirational person and possibly the most driven person I've ever heard speak.

    I was in Barnes and Noble when I found out….I’ve been a diehard NBA fan since I was 9 and my stepdad got me into basketball. Kobe went into the league a couple of years after I started watching, and I spent all my childhood and adult years watching him grow and evolve into the different eras depicted here. We’re lucky to have people like him to guide us and show us the way. His philosophy and wisdom apply far outside of his chosen sport. RIP Mamba!

    I've watched your vids for 8-9 months now Rusty and this is by far your best work. I can tell how much you've applied the mamba mentality to your youtube channel, not just with what you talked about today but with the improvement you have made in the quality of your videos. I'm a lifelong Jazz fan who despised Kobe for a long time because he killed us every single time but that all changed in his last game. Even though I was watching him drop 60 on my Jazz who were still in playoff contention at that point, I couldn't help but put my bias aside and be amazed at what I was watching. Even though it was the night before my birthday and Kobe singlehandedly eliminated my Jazz from the playoffs, I just couldn't be upset. I was in awe. And that night I switched from a Kobe hater to a Kobe fan. I still haven't come to peace with his death, but celebrating his life and watching others do the same brought me a lot of peace over the past year, which has been without a doubt the toughest of my life. Thank you Rusty for this incredible video. Rest in peace Kobe Bryant

But I grew up knowing who Kobe was, he was on the knews, on people's mouth that didn't knew much about basketball. The admiration begins there for a kid falling in love with a new sport. Thank you for this amazing video, it was very emotional and a bet it was really hard for you to make.

    I became a fan of the NBA when I saw the Suns. Nash, Marion, Amare, running around the court with extreme speed and precision, it was fun to watch. Then, I saw one man. One man. Almost singlehandedly destroy an entire team. He wanted it so bad and it can be seen the way he plays. And I loved that man ever since that day and he became my hero. It's true, Kobe was so much more than basketball. His legacy is his personality. It wasn't an exaggeration to call him a hero, because that will, that focus, that tenacity, to never give up against all odds, that's what heroes in films, shows, and comics do. But we saw it on the court this time. Kobe gave us that. Kobe gave us everything. From the day we first saw him, til the day he left.
    He was, and will forever be, a hero to us.
