I was confused I'm the biggest Kobe fan and I don't hate LeBron he's a Laker not among the greatest to play for us because he came at the end of his career but he's still an amazing player
I’ll be 30 this year, I basically watched Kobe all my life he was my favorite player. The news of his death hit me as if he was a family member and I know the whole city felt the same. He was our superhero and the fact that he’s gone still doesn’t seem real. Im just glad players like Gil, Kyrie and others are here to tell great stories and speak on his legacy
Kobe fans don’t hate lebron we hate the fact that his fans/media has to step on Kobe’s legacy to uplift brons when I’m reality both careers deserve 0 disrespect because they both made a major impact/influence in the league we know and love today
Yall not fans of the game and yall disrespecting the game when yall try to turn 2 of the 🐐s against each other. LOVE BASKETBALL. With that being said youre delusional becuz everything you said can very well be said about every players fanbase
@@ralphmack8590because the media’s trying to manipulate everyone into thinking Lebron is on their level, but he’s not. 20 years later, and counting, and all he has to show for it is 4 championships. And all the help he has gotten, he quite literally is LeGM. That is extremely underwhelming to be up so high with all time greats like MJ Kareem and Kobe. He should have more
As a bron fan i did hate kobe...but it was Iverson related. He Gained my respect in 07-08 once the finals ended n he lost by 40. But as a bron fan i hate mj cuz of his fans 😂
It seem like Kobe fans always have a problem with LeBron fans but LeBron fans don’t have issues with Kobe fans. Just like in this video. Idk her name, but she felt like that’s a good fandom that LeBron joined the Lakers and Kobe fans didn’t accept him. When LeBron was in Cleveland his first stint, do you think LeBron fans would hate on Kobe if he was coming to help Bron? That’s just insecurity that Kobe fans have
@@Dagame51I’m a Kobe fan I don’t hate lebron my problem with him is that everything is about him and him pushing this goat 🐐 agenda and him throwing teammates under the bus
Vanessa definitely stood by Kobe during Colorado drama. Sat by him during that press conference and always had his back despite the outside noise saying she should divorce him and take half. Salute to VB!!
I'm a die hard Kobe fan, but don't act like they had no problems between them. Kobe even said himself there were a few times their marriage was in turmoil, and almost got divorced a few times.
@@Dipset415 It literally means "if you're not doing well at work, we're getting a divorce". Would be pretty hard not to get motivated by threats like that. Don't get me wrong, I loved that they stayed together through it all, that's the beauty of it. Not all things goes well, but that's exactly why they are a power couple. They fought through the hard times together.
I hated him cause he was a Laker for one, then of all Lakers I didn’t hate guess who got traded to Miami? Eddie Jones…he was better than Kobe to me and I felt he should of been Shaqs running mate instead Kobe, once my hate for him ended, I was like whoa…dude was the closest thing to MJ I ever seen but my hate clouded it, I felt like an inch tall hearing he died with his daughter, man I got daughters and can’t imagine what he felt like knowing it wasn’t nothing he could do to save her bro.
Kobe is the reason i fail in love with basketball kobe at his peak had the prettiest jump shot i've seen, & i spent hours on hours trying to get it down..r.i.p king you are missed
Kobe beat more 50 win teams than anyone in history, Kobe outscored teams and even his team at times, He was never inefficient he shot at and above the NBA average and these are facts.
My Mamba Moment, that lives rent free in my head to this day, happened December 22nd 2012 at Oracle Arena. It was my 17th birthday, as well as the first n only time I saw Kobe play in person. Man dropped 34 on 41 shots, but LA got the W in OT. 😂 The moment though, was seeing him fall after not getting a call he thought he should’ve gotten, after putting up a shot. As LA is running back to play D, he stays on the other side of the court, waiting. Warriors miss a shot, Lakers come the other way. As soon as Nash crosses half court, he throws a lob at the rim for Kobe n he stuffs it. Oracle that night was literally half Warrior fans, half Laker fans. When Kobe stuffed that lob though, the crowd literally exploded. I felt like I was supporting the visiting team it was so damn loud. 🤣 I was too young to process Jordan being born ‘95, but I’m blessed I got to witness Kobe. 💯 Happy Mamba Day everyone. Tell your loved ones u love them. Tell the ppl u care about how u feel. Tomorrow’s never promised. 🫶 R.I.P. Kobe. 💜💐🐍💐💛
Bro I was at that game as well. 2nd time I saw him play. If it was the last game he played in Oracle before his injury. I remember Kobe basically playing the whole game the Lakers were short handed and Kobe just competing playing at the 1-4 that Game. Switching and guarding everyone fighting and Scrapping for boards. 1st Time I saw him play. Was in 2006 we were the next game after he scored 81. He was electric that game as well he finished with 42pts that night. Kobe played all out man. Kobe was putting in work.
Mamba gave so much of himself not just on the court but then win an award for the children's book he wrote. His entire body of work is otherworldly.🏀🌹🏆🎯
My favorite Kobe moment is the forgotten moment that nobody talks about, and that is, I think it was in 2013, vs Hornets, he was having bad second half, 0/20fg and 0/10 from 3 point line, he had not scored a fg in second half, Lakers were down by 2 with seconds left in a game, any normal person would pass the ball, heck I've seen Lebron pass the last shot when he was 8/10 in a half, but not Kobe, he shot contested 3 and made a game winner, just audacity to take that 3 in closing seconds with kind of game he was having is ridiculous, and to make it, wow, that's when I knew he was the real goat, no fear what's so ever, make it when it counts, definition of clutch, I saw Trevor Ariza on Hornets bench laughing like did you not think he was gonna go for 3? good times.
I got to dab up Kobe his last game in Denver after the farewell video after the game I was able to get right behind the Lakers bench! Kobe walked back to he bench and dabbed up real quickbest moment ever! Kobe is my idol along with MJ! I witnessed the MAMBA MENTALITY 💛💜💯💜
Kobe will forever be our goat here in Los Angeles no disrespect to MJ but u have to before Los Angeles to understand what Kobe means to LA we grew up with him through good and bad times Kobe 24/8 still and forever will be Kobe’s town mamba out
Kobe WAS the king of LA. He spent 20 years pouring every ounce of his being to become the best player for the best LA sports team. What Gil said is correct, we watched him grow from a kid to a man, then fall. And he rewarded his supporters with giving it his all. No matter what game you watched from Kobe, you knew he was going to do everything he could to win. And he rebounded to became universally respected by his peers. Being at a Dodger game, and seeing Kobe’s copter fly in, to being shown on screen and get the loudest cheer and standing ovation possible. He was him.
She’s absolutely right I love Kobe with all my heart and always have he’s the reason I watch basketball and when LBJ came to LA I was 😡🤬🤬 and didn’t want to see him in a Lakers jersey or mentioned in the same breath as Kobe🕊️🕊️🕊️
Gilbert we had wars at laurel plaza/Valley plaza behind the sears. You were a elite trash talker. You would give me my props for serving you back then. Glad to see you made it big Gil. Big ups my brother.
I’m only speaking for myself as a Kobe fan…I don’t hate Lebron but I am tired of everything always being about him. It’s Mamba day and we ain’t even a minute into the video and they mention Lebron. Hell they got me talking about Lebron 🤬. Man I miss watching Kobe on the court and I miss his post game interviews. Always gonna give you real talk and not sugar coat anything.
Now do yall understand why LeBron wasn't there for Wade? It's always about him, the same way when LeBron accomplishes something, people talk about Jordan. Comparison must have limits,cause people can no longer appreciate someone without comparing Jokic won that means embid is shit. The internet has killed the appreciation of sport. Messi is God CR7 sucks.
@@jodyjody9561 I agree with most of what you said. Except for the reason Lebron wasn’t there for Wade. Dude knows it’s gonna get a lot of attention whether he goes or doesn’t go. So might as well support your boy
@@HoTSh0t24LeBron wasn't there, Dwyane Wade and Miami were actually shocked when LeBron went back to Cleveland there's a video of Dwayne talking about it, and Dwayne was mad, and it took him a long time to get over it, LeBron can't be true to a city or a teammate
I know lifelong Laker fans that stopped watching basketball altogether when Kobe retired - & LeBron came aboard… Admittedly, I was skeptical at first… I fought it… I shrugged and threw my hands up in the air… But at the end of the day, the Lakers are the gold standard and have always been about winning above all else… so I got on board with it, much like I did when we signed GP and Malone 15 years prior…but at the end of the day, it was Kobe‘s embrace of LeBron that made it all OK…When Kobe opened up his arms to LeBron, it felt like it was OK for the city of Los Angeles to open up their arms to LeBron… and though it never fully felt quite right, it all seemed OK until Kobe’s passing…& though it was great to win the 2020 chip (* or not) in his honor, and have something to smile about when the world was on fire, it’s quickly turned sour shortly there after… Now the Lakers brass doesn’t feel like the family I grew up knowing… Jeannie & company seem to be in disarray… held hostage by an aging LeBron with virtually the same outcome looming every season… It feels like a marriage gone wrong… A divorce that should’ve happened years ago… Dear LeBron… It’s been real, and it’s been nice… But it hasn’t been real nice. 🎤✌️
I am a Suns fan. I hated Kobe. No one has ever changed my attitude towards them the way Kobe did. Killed us every postseason. After a while, seeing the consistency and relentlessness to never lose, my admiration and respect was not an option. He converted me. Lebron has and never will do that.
Watch that nike commercial where they screaming at him, every h8ter that Kobe killed dreams an hopes h8ted him but loved him an respected him at thee end of his career.
The Lakers didn't have to put Kobe in a bubble he was locked in and focus from the jump and his passion was locked into Basketball and dedicate into being better daily ...
1974, I became a Laker fan, watching Pat Riley, Kermit Washington, and the great Jerry West, coached by Bill Sherman, through the years there were great players, 1979 Magic Johnson got drafted to Los Angeles, Magic changed the way of basketball and how Magic made it more exciting to watch the Lakers, and then Kobe carried the torch for years, helping Shaq win his first championship , given his blood and sweat for the purple and gold 8/24, can't wait for the next Superstar , that will love the purple and gold just as much as they did, and hopefully they never beg for respect like LeBron did, in the Los Angeles Lakers jersey, the great Jerry Buss would be embarrassed. 1- Magic Johnson 2 - Kobe Bryant :Rest in peace 😢
I'm a huge kobe fan. Plus, I'm a virgo, so kobe means a lot to fans like me. I personally love what LeBron has been doing. His career was soooo wild and I enjoyed every moment of LeBron. From 2003 until 2023.
I’ve been a Lakers fan since I was a little kid, but my reason I can’t put lebron to the level of Kobe, is the work ethics of Kobe where like a workaholics type, the ice in his vein like MJ, Magic and bird style, while lebron has been pampered, Kobe was even hated by the refs and never gave up so much against him he still worked on his craft to win not cry over it he worked extra hard a way better player then lebron
10:46 i became a fan of kobe that very season kenyon is talking about when kobe went thru that incident..i didnt like bean before that..i couldnt deny him after that season
Kobe was my idol growing up. I'm a Lakers fan because of Kobe. I can say I 100 percent hated Lebron for the first 10 years of his NBA career. I hated that people thought he was better than Kobe but as I got older I realized that's literally the definition of hating on somebody and I never wanted to be a hater. Now Lebron is my favorite current athlete and I've accepted that he's a better overall player than Kobe was. Kobe is still my favorite player ever but I don't think there's an argument for anyone being better than Lebron at playing basketball.
Man I was wanting to watch this video bad af but when shorty just starts off her statement on Kobe Day talking about Lebron… that blows me lol. Lebron fans literally cannot have a basketball conversation without bringing him in it lol
Thank God that Vanessa sued everybody associated with leaking those crash photos and getting them fired. Her family deserved compassion and only got horrors from those who were supposed to protect her.
We don’t hate bron we just don’t wanna be involved in the way he destroys franchises when he leaves. Also after he won a bubble ring ppl wanna say he a top 5 laker🥴 TF
@@kb24shortoreo21 besides these last moves they made to get the guys we went on the late season run with is the only exception. Guys like Rui, DLO, Vandy are pieces you can keep moving with.
Ol girl is wrong !! There has NEVER been a beef between lebron fans and people who fuck with kb24. The beef was with jordan fans,kobe haters,media outlets etc. Who wanted so desperately to overlook kb24s greatness and impact on the game that they were ready to crown Lebron as the king of the L before he won a chip or a playoff game. For yrs kb24 was shitted on by media only to ultimately be given his flowers after he passed. They hated him so much that the man and nike went as far as making a we hate kobe commercial. So LBJ expecting to be embraced by Laker fans/lovers as the games ultimate winner/champion based on his previous results of 4-10 before ever winning a ring in LA is absurd. When the organization itself is a institution of excellence with 17 rings. Kobe getting 5 of those.
Nahh Miko it aint that folks hate Bron, its all the drama and spectacle that comes along with the man. Plus every team he leavees the cupboard is left bare and in shambles
Miko's favorite Kobe moment is when LeBron signed to the Lakers and when Vanessa gave a speech. Just say you didn't care much for him 😂😂😂. Gil's favorite moment is when he got slapped. Kenyon's favorite moment is playing against Shaq in the finals.....this segment was pretty bad 😂😂😂
I got to that part of the video and had to pause it. Kobe and Shaq had their moments, but when KD went to the warriors, most complained because it was so unfair. If they stayed together, outside of injury to Steph, KD or Klay, I didn't see them losing to anyone.
We Kobe fans don’t hate LeBron. We just don’t like the media trying to disrespect the legacy Kobe built.
@vintagedaz Exactly.
True and some of the lebron haters are just trolls but try to hide behind being a kobe fan to troll harder

LA still Kobe’s city 🤷🏾♂️. RIP Kobe & respect to the Bryant family, K-Mart perfectly said it. 🙌🏾
I’ll double down: the Eastbay flex with BRANDY I. The crowd going wild. Lmao
Gil tryna throw shade he keep going back to him being protected
Great point by K mart giving Vanessa her 💐
0:47 she is exactly on it !!! I love LeBron now though but when kobe was in the league not so much because it was kobe's league
It’s hard to tell whether Gilbert is fabricating or telling the truth. He’s known for saying wild shit
he's lying. look up cedric ceballos and kobe rookie hazing
Kobe was my idol growing up. I'm a Lakers fan because of Kobe. I can say I 100 percent hated Lebron for the first 10 years of his NBA career. I hated that people thought he was better than Kobe but as I got older I realized that's literally the definition of hating on somebody and I never wanted to be a hater. Now Lebron is my favorite current athlete and I've accepted that he's a better overall player than Kobe was. Kobe is still my favorite player ever but I don't think there's an argument for anyone being better than Lebron at playing basketball.
Lies
Man I was wanting to watch this video bad af but when shorty just starts off her statement on Kobe Day talking about Lebron… that blows me lol. Lebron fans literally cannot have a basketball conversation without bringing him in it lol
As soon as he asked that first question, my first word was same as Gil's. Everything
I’m going to give a shout out to Kobe parents. This NBA industry seems to want to write them out of Kobe’s HISTORY/LEGACY.
Kobe and Shaq all day!
When Trevor sent Kobe a picture of him shooting over 3 ppl,
Kobe: means somebody should have an easy put back if I miss
💀Goated
Thank God that Vanessa sued everybody associated with leaking those crash photos and getting them fired. Her family deserved compassion and only got horrors from those who were supposed to protect her.
Lakers fans need players to earn their respect. You can't just come to LA and expect respect. Kobe earned his respect.
Wtf just talk about Kobe without mentioning Lebron for once..Kobe is LA, just give him one day just one fucking day just for him..Happy Bday Mamba🐍
Mamba forever!!
This is my first time here, idk who she is, but I love her takes
Rip kobe bro…
Kobe is the greatest laker of all time.
We don’t hate bron we just don’t wanna be involved in the way he destroys franchises when he leaves. Also after he won a bubble ring ppl wanna say he a top 5 laker🥴 TF
Man thank you, I just posted the same thing. He leaves and the cupboard is left bare and roster in shambles
@@JQUE94 with no future picks until ww3 I never wanted him or that ring if it was gonna turn us into the Timberwolves
@@kb24shortoreo21 yea he forced the front office to mortgage the whole future for AD
@@JQUE94 shit ridiculous especially when you look at the roster without bron
@@kb24shortoreo21 besides these last moves they made to get the guys we went on the late season run with is the only exception. Guys like Rui, DLO, Vandy are pieces you can keep moving with.
Kobe the real King of L.A.
Kobe rocked with bron why wouldn’t we
"I gave him 41." TALK YOU SHIT, Gil!
Adidas keeps Gil fitted💯
Lmao i love that Kenyan can’t say a sentence without “nah I’m saying”
Ol girl is wrong !! There has NEVER been a beef between lebron fans and people who fuck with kb24. The beef was with jordan fans,kobe haters,media outlets etc. Who wanted so desperately to overlook kb24s greatness and impact on the game that they were ready to crown Lebron as the king of the L before he won a chip or a playoff game. For yrs kb24 was shitted on by media only to ultimately be given his flowers after he passed. They hated him so much that the man and nike went as far as making a we hate kobe commercial. So LBJ expecting to be embraced by Laker fans/lovers as the games ultimate winner/champion based on his previous results of 4-10 before ever winning a ring in LA is absurd. When the organization itself is a institution of excellence with 17 rings. Kobe getting 5 of those.
There it is! Straight facts!
As a big time Lebron fan I love Kobe
Anyone has any more info on AC Green and that Story about Kobe getting hit during practice and the Buss Family coming out??? Sounded so interesting
Kobe kept receipts for a fact 💪🏾most players duck that competition…no days off, on n off the court!
Its funny that they’re saying lebron was the greatest LA lakers, they all forgot who KOBE BRYANT is
I called it “everything”.
They ask her about Kobe and she immediately start making it about lebron. Said his name more than Kobe’s
Because she's a Bron fan
@@DarrelWashingtonJr9002 Then she shouldn't be on the episode.
All she did was use the hate he got from LA to explain the love LA has for kobe, yall reaching lol
Tell me yall ain't serious...its not that deep
@@zamorant6826 but this isn't bout LeBron James it's about Kobe
Thats gangster as hell
Kenyon “Namsayin” Martin 😂😂
Pip n jordan 6 for 6 best duo ever
❤2💜💛8/24❤
Nahh Miko it aint that folks hate Bron, its all the drama and spectacle that comes along with the man. Plus every team he leavees the cupboard is left bare and in shambles
Ol girl blew that last joke😭
Glad they cut it there ! That shit was stupid
@@Xxiblack0utxX lmaooo rs that’s what made it funny
THANK YOU for not HAVING the CLOWN in the CROWN on this show! HE RUINS THE VIBE with him just being there!
Miko's favorite Kobe moment is when LeBron signed to the Lakers and when Vanessa gave a speech. Just say you didn't care much for him 😂😂😂. Gil's favorite moment is when he got slapped. Kenyon's favorite moment is playing against Shaq in the finals.....this segment was pretty bad 😂😂😂
KD & Steph easily the best combo out of the options HANDS DOWN… and dats coming from a Bron fan
I got to that part of the video and had to pause it. Kobe and Shaq had their moments, but when KD went to the warriors, most complained because it was so unfair. If they stayed together, outside of injury to Steph, KD or Klay, I didn't see them losing to anyone.
#MambaForever 🙏
Lebron is stat man..BUT KOBE IS LAKER MAN!!!! R.I.P.. MAMBA!
💪🏾YADIGGG🔥🔥🔥🔥
LA is KobeVille like a mf .
As a Kobe fan, I don’t hate Lebron, just his fans.
Respect to Kobe. As long as no one comments on delusion I will leave it at that
Real Lakers fans appreciate Lebron .. been a Laker fan since the 90s bih .. Downtown LA .. 🟪🟨. We love KOBE tho .
8/24 ❤
We want Miko and Rashad back on the show
