      ScantsRants It’s like this with Matt. When he played for Orlando years ago, I noticed he was fiery as a player on the court. His behavioral stances wasn’t as live in Orlando at the time was it was when he became a full blown journeyman the rest of the way.
      When he played for the Grizzlies, that’s when I really pick up on his behavioral tendencies. Yes he had that fiery temper, but the guy is one of those no non sense guys who will put you on blast. When he did his first interview as a Grizzly, that’s when I noticed this bruh talks with some solid intel. I was astounded because at the time with Matt’s rep, lockdown defense, get in your grill, willing to fight, etc. When you get to see another side of a player, it’s cool to get to see that because it’s like a rare moment you get to see from players.

    As a lifelong Spurs and NBA fan, two takeaways. 1) I could listen to Kobe talk all day long about his personal interactions with MJ. Their connection, similarities, and differences are just so interesting and fun. And 2) to hear Kobe speak about San Antonio with so much reverence just means so much as a Spurs fan watching that rivalry for all those years. He contributed to so many amazing memories for each of those respective team’s franchises. They dominated the NBA for nearly 20 years. Kobe will truly be missed! #RIP

    Nobody will read this I’m sure, but I remember watching this after it came out, and then a few weeks later going on a work trip. My flight landed in Chicago 2 hours after the incident, so I remember walking off the airplane into the hotel lobby and seeing grieving and I didn’t know why. Until I saw a TV, which was showing the news.
    As a lifelong basketball fan (but not even necessarily a Kobe-particular fan compared to others beforehand) beginning to cry in the airport, because regardless of my prior fandom of the athlete (he was always beating my team, so that’s why I didn’t pull for him, because of how good he truly was), I was a big fan of the man, Kobe Bryant.
    This was a tough one. There will never be another like him.

  • @h3artands0uLL
    @h3artands0uLL 2 месяца назад +5

    I love that Kobe didn’t do typical media stuff for Retired players when he stopped playing basketball (podcast on the game, sitting on a panel breaking down every game with current players, etc.).
    He was Kobe.. he had to navigate a new course and set a new path.
    Writing books for kids
    Won an Oscar
    Coaching kids
    And so many more projects he was probably planning that we’ll probably never know about.
    Paulo Coelho had come out and said he was deleting how far they had gotten in a joint venture of a new book because it was senseless without him now (the day of his death). I wonder how much more we would have seen from him.
    RIP Kobe ❤

    RIP to Kobe Bryant and his beautiful daughter. I can say that I was literally in tears. Tragic, unbelieveable and heartbreaking. Kobe was my age, 41. Graduated the same year as I as well. And of course followed him through his whole career. So I felt like I knew him, as funny as that might sound. So I feel like I lost a close friend. Prayers for him and family.

      Just watched again. A month and a half later he passed away 💔. Still hard to believe he didn’t come up rising out of those ashes with Gigi in his arms. He was always the Laker hero we needed in LA, coming through no matter what. Our real life super hero. I really expected him to come out of that later that day.
      In reality… a helicopter crash/a train/a natural disaster is the only thing that could’ve stopped from being there for his family 💔
