How do I get to heaven? Will my good deeds be measured against my bad deeds? Do I need to be a good person to go to heaven? How do I know if I'm good enough? Well the bible says no man is good, for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. So how do we get to heaven? Answer: By believing on Jesus Christ who took the punishment for our sin on the cross. There are no amount of good works we can do to achieve salvation because salvation is a free gift of God. We need to humble ourselves, realize we are sinners and that we need a savior. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave his only son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
I could hear the Kobe stories from fellow players all day. I'd be crying but I'd manage. I fell off of basketball when Kobe retired because all the guys I idolized or despised had retired. Really brings back memories seeing these guys again and hearing their treasured memories.
💯 2016 was the end of the best basketball I will ever witness from 1993-2016 I had a epic run of the basketball I witness and shout out to college basketball as well during those times also the best basketball one can witness.
Bro much love to the guy Shane Battier. I remember like yesterday when he won it all his senior year at Duke and my parents saying how great it was that he stayed all 4 years in school as an example of what to do.
Yeah kobe still gave him multiple 50 point game, 40 pt games, 30 pt games but I ain't never seen no one else make kobe work for every bucket like Shane did.
Shane Battier is the kind of defend who forces you to play well. Kobe probably looked forward to those games because any game he busted Shane was one of his highlight games.
I love hearing these endless new stories about Kobe by different people. I’ve been adding to my “Kobe Stories” playlist (this video included) since his passing. Great story and respect for Shane. Mamba Forever
He guarded Kobe and Lebron and he said that NO ONE but Kobe had the mentality that required him to prepare mentally before a game to guard Kobe. This is not a fanboy looking at stats and videos people. This is someone who guarded them both in their prime. Everyone has their pic when it comes to who's their favorite player and I respect each person's decision. But one thing is being a fan and another thing is having played against Lebron and Kobe. There will never be another Kobe. Hardest working player in NBA history.
Idk why people here asking why they hate that I mean coming from a die hard Laker and Kobe fan you just want them to do their best without being bothered like that
Same! 🤣 Oh man, that hand in the face defense during the playoffs drove me INSANE but it was so beautifully done. Yao Ming getting that career ending fracture in his foot saved us that series, I really believe that.
Thanks, Shane for the memories. We love hearing all of you guys talking about Kobe, we never get tired of hearing the stories. Thank you, it helps to keep him alive in our minds. Thank you. Talking about Kobe to Shane is pure joy, you can see it in his face. he's so happy. That makes all of us happy too.
The truth is the truth and humbleness this is truly heartfelt Kobe made everybody feel a certain kind of way this I love hearing stories about Kobe.. thanks for sharing. Kobe/Gigi 💔❤❤
Not just “one of the greats.” Former players will tell you KB was second only to MJ in mental toughness, mindset, and skill. Players know. When you watch someone, you think you know. When you guard them, you know.
Such a great guy. How i wish the late great Kobe would have heard this and these 2 personalities can have that post playing conversation. Man, i miss Kobe.
@@jomybaby22-sports Aaron Books was balling that series tho, and Ron Artest was a problem too. I remember those days I hated Ron, then he joined us the next year lol
@Bear WithMe yea I did stupid he didn’t make up the hand in the face defense , I think you needa re watch the video and tell me where he said he made it up
@Bear WithMe and you stupid my guy I know making something popular doesn’t mean you invented it tell me where you see me say that the dude said pioneered it do you know what pioneered mean ? It’s means you was like the first to do it so stfu Shane wasn’t the first so yeah stop talking to me guy
I used to smack people online with Miami heats using Shane as my primary scoring option in NBA 2k online . People will try to stop LeBron and Wade all game, not noticing I was just scoring with Shane then running back down and locking them down on defence lol.
Same here but I used Mike Miller literally the most broken player ever in 2k in my opinion. I always had 50+ points with him all 3s unless the other guy quit.. only way to stop him was to block the shot lol
Being that smart to think that defending this specific way is forcing the opponent to get his worst shot is the only way to try to stop someone like Kobe or MJ. Even the best defenders know that they can still put up 30 even taking their worst shot,the thought process and detication to keep legends of scoring low,is just out of this world... Amazing.
I always respected Shane; mature, smart, did his job well and was never cocky. Just a great competitor. Like he said, some nights he forced Kobe to take a lot of shots, other games Kobe drops 40 or 50 on your head. He's such a long defender. I copy Kobe's game but I also use Shane's hand-in-the-face technique on defense often.
Miami Heat wasn't LeBron's team it was Dwyane Wade's LeBron just crawled to the Wayne cuz he knew he was going to win championships with a better player and that was Dwyane Wade otherwise LeBron he, sucks, if LeBron was a great player he would have stayed in Cleveland and showed his greatness instead of crawling to Greater players
@@Q_itupTV Tim Duncan was the better player in the 2000s. People who look at things outside of terrible off balanced fadeaway jump shots understand that. Bill Russell is better than Kobe and Larry Bird is better than Kobe period point blank
Kobe forever! I love it when people reflect on his greatness. He said it best. "he was different" Unfortunate the pundits never gave him the respect he deserved.
The statless allstar. Battier a standup dude and the epitome of a 5 position defender. Elite all around defender, rebounder and shooter. He was outstanding in his time and would be even better in today's game
Shane Battier was such an underrated defender. I HATED that hand in the face technique, but I LOVED it so much that I started using it as a defender. I was an excellent on ball defender and rim protector in high school and in college. However, I had always instinctively went for the block. Watching Battier changed my approach on defense and made me a better defender.
He was definitely a class act for that program. I can’t be mad at you for saying he’s your favorite Duke player. But let’s be real if it’s not Jason Williams then you might be fooling yourself.
@@erandle247 he definitely did but if he’s talking strictly about their college careers it’s not that far fetched. JJ actually might’ve had the best individual career at duke, he was the ACC all time leading scorer until Hansborough passed him... still #2

Too bad he s not on Tv.. I am not sure why. The last time I saw him doing media works he looked timid
Kobe Bryant no longer being here makes me extremely humble and grateful. We miss you Mamba🥺
Tore a hole in the universe when that luminous soul departed. Top shelf human being. So loved and missed. He would be so proud of the Lakers.

One of the best interviews I've seen on ESPN. Learned so much about the mental game at the highest levels of competition.

It’s insane how so many former players say Kobe was the toughest to play against yet espn ranks him 9th best player ever
