Eh, I'm not a LeBron fan. Celtics. But Kobe was given a better opportunity, with a better coach/team. You can't just win championships by yourself man, you need a supporting cast.
@@greyk610 How come you say Kobe was given a better opportunity than Lebron? So having wade/bosh/allen is not a good opportunity? Kobe never left a team, if hes given bad players he struggled with them. Lebron always forced someone to be traded and asked the management to mold the team member based on how he plays right? Hes a kickpasser so theyve always given him guys who can shoot threes. I can agree that Lebron is a good, way way better passer than Kobe. But its easy to pass man, but its not easy to lead. And that is how Kobe became mature when shaq left. He became a true leader.
mrky boy Lebron got drafted to the fucking Cleveland cavaliers stop your bullshit it took him 7 years until he was put into a good situation kobe came in with Shaq and Phil jackson?
Its true that lebron's a better player but when it comes to being iconic and influencing kobe bryant is the goat you dont see people saying mj when shooting anything but kobe has managed to do that just throwing things makes you say kobe
Man godamn how is lebron even better, this man right here is in tier 1 a true goat. Love you and rest in peace Kobe, I am living in this weak league and after you retired it’s like everything is changed. You and tmac inspired me and I look up to you guys. Damn hurts so damn much
You CAN'T teach that. A personality like this is so rare in basketball - it wins championships. I don't know any other player in the world that I could compare to Kobe. He maybe hasn't the highest shot percentage, but his coaching ability while being on the court is AMAZING. You can't see it while watching games on TV or live but you can see it in videos like this.
I think Kobe said it best: I've taken advantage of the great talent I've had around me. Just like MJ and Magic did. For those people out there that say Kobe has always had great talent around him, sure he has. But not everyone can figure out the right combination in order to win. Kobe has does this year after year with his leadership and commitment to excellence.
KOBE has never changed, he is the greatest warrior on the court ever. The only thing he does, is just becoming much more patient with his teammates, coz he finally find out that his level is just above everybody else today, after 14 years.
This is the perfect example of a team leader, he tells you what you did wrong, and tell you how to correct it. And ofc he'll give you some credit time too time
I admit, i'm a Lakers fan, but over the years he's developed into a team player, and a leader (what this video is about) but can also still get it done scoring, as well as making his team good. Greatest player in the NBA in my opinion.
What I think makes Kobe such an effective leader is that he demands a lot out of his teammates, but he also demands even more out of himself. He sets the example and leads from the front, and the other guys follow.
Intellific, educated, speaking several languages, good-looking, beautiful wife, daughters. Despite not being in Hollywood, it was Kobe who was and is the star of LA. If Jordan didn't exist, no one would ever insult Kobe. In my opinion, Kobe was the most talented basketball player ever. Those who watched it in its best years know what I'm talking about. Today's basketball players are good, but they don't measure up to Brayant's heels. MY GOUT for sure.
Quincy, I agree!!! Kobe IS the BEST!!! Forget all other "copy cats" who try to be like him and can't and because they can't be like him, they hate him! Love you KOB-ra!!!
MJ is number 1 in my all time greatest list and KOBE is 2nd and this is coming from a LAKER FAN i watch all 82 season games and playoff games and he's just amazing every game doesnt skip a beat im glad to be alive and watching such a great player one day i will tell my children that this man was a fucken beast not in that language but you get me LOL
@hemelekkoff you cant blame kobe. he's taken 6 game winners last year, that's a big boost for his ego. he wants to make a name for himself in the 4th quarter. at the end of the day, he's still human. he misses.
Got to admit, Kobe's the player in the league still playing that reminds me the most of MJ. And MJ got hated all the time in his career, but when he retired all of a sudden everyone is his fan? Not saying that Kobe is as good as Jordan or better, just that the two of them are in the same position. They dominate the game and rip your favorite team apart you wish they were on your team but they're not. And all you can do is hate that. Love 'em or hate 'em.
at 1:39 kobe talks about the beginning of his second phase of his career, playing with guys who couldn't handle his aggressive play/ leadership that they later got rid of--they show Sasha as Kobe says it, but I know he is referring to Smush Parker.
How can we move forward from this tragedy??? we miss you our hero 💔😭 I won't get over this easily for sure 💔😭 I'm still hurting and crying 😭💔
Legends will never be forgotten. Kobe, you are a true master legend. RIP.
REST IN PEACE KOBE ❤️🕊
Kobe Bean Legend is the man. i miss him already lol basketball is kinda boring without him
RIP KOBE
Now world is boring without him
So true , I could watch Kobe play all the time. He was the GOAT 🐐
I agree👍
I agree
i love kobe so much
Same.
Me too #RIPGOAT
Kobe bryant we always remember u at all and we love you so much more
Still can't believe he's gone, it's feels like he's just there somewhere....Kobe body maybe gone.. But he's presence is immortal.
Miss the old Lakers.
Kobe was my idol in basketball his a great player no one else compared to him.jejeje...
Alot of people say Lebrons a better player....... Ok that's cool but Kobes a better winner. 5x champion baby
Eh, I'm not a LeBron fan. Celtics. But Kobe was given a better opportunity, with a better coach/team. You can't just win championships by yourself man, you need a supporting cast.

Lebron is almost 7ft..
Kobe is the better player period
Man godamn how is lebron even better, this man right here is in tier 1 a true goat. Love you and rest in peace Kobe, I am living in this weak league and after you retired it’s like everything is changed. You and tmac inspired me and I look up to you guys. Damn hurts so damn much

The moment you realize the lakers is the only team in the NBA to have won 3 straight and 2 straight chanpionships in rhe last 2 decades. Wow
I think Kobe said it best: I've taken advantage of the great talent I've had around me. Just like MJ and Magic did. For those people out there that say Kobe has always had great talent around him, sure he has. But not everyone can figure out the right combination in order to win. Kobe has does this year after year with his leadership and commitment to excellence.
He was really born to play basketball. He lived and died for the game. Legend.
KOBE has never changed, he is the greatest warrior on the court ever. The only thing he does, is just becoming much more patient with his teammates, coz he finally find out that his level is just above everybody else today, after 14 years.
Kobe...man, Kobe.. He is everything that you want to see in a a basketball player...
GOAT behind MJ
The a he's not the GOAT
Jordan Scott mj Kobe lebron
man i know mj is a legend but thats like not respectful
2:20 Haha The game is over and the man is still giving pointers to gasol.. That's why he's a winner
He most definitely was..
Yh rip
This made me cry 😢😢
He was a great player R.I.P Kobe and GiGi
💗💗💗
This is the perfect example of a team leader, he tells you what you did wrong, and tell you how to correct it. And ofc he'll give you some credit time too time
Legends don't die. They live on in the heart of the fans.
i am a huge celtics fan when the lakers broke our heart last year i was sad. Though i was sad i have alot of respect for kobe
I cant believe thay your gone.. we miss you so much!! RIP Legend
I admit, i'm a Lakers fan, but over the years he's developed into a team player, and a leader (what this video is about) but can also still get it done scoring, as well as making his team good. Greatest player in the NBA in my opinion.
God give me 1 hour to turn back time to save kobe and his daughter.. If i could.. im still disbelief until now
Kobe is really a LIVING LEGEND.
Now he's just a LEGEND..
I
Lol 10 years ago
kobe is the face of the nba. if he retires, the nba will not be the same anymore. the people dont realize it yet.
What I think makes Kobe such an effective leader is that he demands a lot out of his teammates, but he also demands even more out of himself. He sets the example and leads from the front, and the other guys follow.
10 years! #MambaForever
The closest anyone has ever come to the "real" 23. Been a pleasure watching you Mr. Bryant
Intellific, educated, speaking several languages, good-looking, beautiful wife, daughters. Despite not being in Hollywood, it was Kobe who was and is the star of LA.

MY GOUT for sure.
G.O.A.T
kobe is amazing and haters gonna hateeee
Kobe does what he has to to win, it is that simple!
kobe's leadership has really shown in his teammates, mainly imo shannon brown's performance.
You the best basketball player..... true.......RiP brother
RIP Kobe , there is no Lakers without you. I miss you 😢
Quincy, I agree!!! Kobe IS the BEST!!! Forget all other "copy cats" who try to be like him and can't and because they can't be like him, they hate him!
Love you KOB-ra!!!
im not a big kobe fan but i have so much respect for him as a leader
2:05 Pau looking at Odom like where's the coke bro 😂😂😂😂 i know that look
I like how he instructs his teammates on what to do.
MJ is number 1 in my all time greatest list and KOBE is 2nd and this is coming from a LAKER FAN i watch all 82 season games and playoff games and he's just amazing every game doesnt skip a beat im glad to be alive and watching such a great player one day i will tell my children that this man was a fucken beast not in that language but you get me LOL
I miss Kobe so bad
BRILLIANT JOB KOBE
I'm not a Lakers fan, but I've got to admit - he is fantastic.
Kobeeeee Bryant. Mamba Forever.
winking at the coach 1:42 "you know i gotta work on my elbow coach!"
Man they got to step there game man up they know they can win this there.
kobe is a leader no doubt.... Kobe FTW!
That's a player everyone should look up to
Don't hate, just admire. And respect.
kobes been a leader
You don't HAVE to like the man, but he deserves respect. If your a NBA fan, then you should respect a player that has won 5 rings.
MAMBA OUT! 🐍 ♥
rest in peace kobe 8/24
I'm not a kobe fan but I gotta give him credit he's a very talented and smart player,the best comparing to mj of course :)
Hate him all you want, you can't deny his greatness and his will, his killer instinct to win it all.
Kobe and Pau, a bromance for the ages.
@hemelekkoff you cant blame kobe. he's taken 6 game winners last year, that's a big boost for his ego. he wants to make a name for himself in the 4th quarter. at the end of the day, he's still human. he misses.
Kobe. The best player
RIP Kobe and Gigi!
there was jordan, then there was kobe. i think both of them are the true definition of basketball.
I love Kobe!!!
no doubt one of the best of all-time
Matures into a leader, he had already matured into one 2 years ago!!
Got to admit, Kobe's the player in the league still playing that reminds me the most of MJ. And MJ got hated all the time in his career, but when he retired all of a sudden everyone is his fan? Not saying that Kobe is as good as Jordan or better, just that the two of them are in the same position. They dominate the game and rip your favorite team apart you wish they were on your team but they're not. And all you can do is hate that. Love 'em or hate 'em.
Get better soon Kobe!
Man Kobe don't GAF. "And We got rid of them."
My hero...
NBA, Please make more videos and montage like this one! It's always great to see these kind of videos
