True. But great players don't automatically mean you'll be a great coach or general manager in nba. There is place for both players and non players to work in nba
Exactly! All of that feuding and passing the torch stuff was bullshit. Who exactly are those anonymous sources they claim they hear info from? 😂😂😂😂 If I don't hear it from the horse's mouth then it's hard for me to believe anything. I like that Kobe doesn't sugarcoat anything though but there was a time when he did when it came to talking about Shaq because like he said, he didn't know how to handle that at the time.
This is why I laugh when someone calls TMac overrated. Kobe played against a healthy Tmac several times and knows what hes talking about. Like McGrady said though, Kobe wouldve NEVER complimented Mcgrady like he did, its good to hear it from Kobe now though.
@@missile87redefined20 I think that he means that the only banners the Lakers hang are the championship banner bc there're a lot of small teams that hangs their divisions banner and the Lakers aren't like those teams
I love how Kobe specifically mentioned how Vince Carter got out the best in him. Lots of fans tend to forget how good Vince Carter was in his first 12 years in the league as an offensive threat and was very clutch, and not just a super athletic dunker. I really really miss Vince and Kobe going against each other. You are so dearly missed Mamba.

Hi Cow Lebron was drafted back in 2003 and was listed as 6'8". He was just 18 or 19 at that time and there's a possibility that he grew a couple of inches while he's in the league. It's a fact that Lebron is probably 6'10" and Kobe was around 6'7" to 6'8". I know most of us haven't seen them both that's why we can't tell if their height was accurate as it was listed, but I'm pretty sure that Lebron is not only 6'8", he's taller than that. Kobe is around 6'8"(Drafted and listed at 6'6", grew some inches while in the league) and Lebron is probably 6'10". Just look at KD, he was listed at 6'9" when he got drafted and look at him now, he's probably not 6'9" anymore and I think the present KD is probably around 7 feet tall.
And whats crazy he didnt associate his mentality with just basketball he associated it to all the challenges in life which was why he was a living legend and now he is immortal along with our young lost soon to be legend Giana, live on with power kobe ♾
Kobe's mantra was, "Whatever your calling in life or even occupation of a given moment in time; do it to the best of your ability.

“I like flopping. I like flailing my arms in the air like I’ve been shot. I like falling to the floor and hearing the ref blowing the whistle to give me a call I didn’t deserve.” -Lebron
Too bad he never managed to put it all together and take it all the way. That's the real shame in his career. He had the tools to be great, but never could do it.
@@caleblocklear4642 well my knowledge of basketball is far more Superior than yours I've been watching the game since the 60s I don't get excited anymore when I see somebody dunk the basketball I seen it before true the game is different but nevertheless a dunk is a dunk I never used the phrase best player ever seen it doesn't matter whether you or I were around does it matter how many teams were in the league the NBA started in the 40s no other NBA player can do what Wilt Chamberlain can do it's simply not going to happen again there will never be anyone close to Michael Jordan the comparisons are for the media to Hype it up and for people like you to believe in it there will never be anybody compared to LeBron James when he retired did you know the three point shot has not always been in the league and it's not utilize before like it is now LeBron Kobe Garnett those are not the first players that come out of high school no basketball player in the last 10 years has impressed me
@ Wilt Chamberlain is the greatest basketball player of all time doesn't matter how many rings he has when he played or how tall he was Shaquille O'Neal is nowhere close to Wilt Chamberlain Wilt Chamberlain was so good he could have came out at Junior High School and played in the NBA
Listening to Kobe is like listening to 90's rap, Tupac, Biggie, Nas. These guys today are more like migos and these other dudes. They ain't built the same. Not cut from the same cloth. Damn, I miss the 90's and players drafted in that decade!!
Erik Griffith I definitely agree. Kobe explained that MJ did not waste a single dribble, I believe Kobe didn’t waste a single word in this interview. It goes along with your comment as well, there are only a few hand picked players that can express themselves in such a way that is genuine and shows excellence, humbleness, and that has a fine essence
For them to win it they add to sacrifice both of them I am sure kobe refused when they asked for his daughter that is pretty clear to me now and I am now scared about mj with that sorcerer lebron doing space jam.
@@ChiTownWarrior1 you pass judgment and don’t even know how the world really works. If you had a clue, you’d realize that the type of sacrifices that person spoke about actually happen. Wake up already.
@@kylianmbappe1208 When Kobe died, I told a friend that the lakers would win it all. Up until that point, really had no clue but once Kobe was gone, I was absolutely sure of it.
Kobe really respect T-mac, 7-all star, 2 scoring champ, 13 pts in 35 seconds, etc. I would say Tracy McGrady is one of the most underrated player in NBA history.
Leon Hong not really. He was huge back in the day but everyone and himself agreed he slacked on defense and he also would just try to get scoring titles and not win when he believed his team lacked the personal to compete for a championship. He didn’t have the drive of Kobe or Lebron to carry a bunch of bums deep into the playoffs.
Just nothing special about Tracy McGrady he's just an NBA player that can put up a lot of points he was never going to win a ring and you can make all the excuses you want same thing with Dominique Wilkins but Dominique was more exciting but unfortunately people need to realize everybody is not going to win an NBA ring Carmelo Anthony is not going to win a ring we can go further back if it wasn't for Moses Malone dr. J would not have won a ring and he's my favorite basketball player of all time but that's the truth no Moses no rain
1990758 You can't say he would never win a championship, he wasn't healthy and had a shorter career because of it. Also, if he got a healthy grant hill and Tim Duncan, they probably would've have one at least one championship.
Means nothing,it doesn't mean he couldn't get the nba title lmbo@this clueless guy,Kobe the true king of basketball can tell you all kinds of thing's but can that oerson orove it to him tho !
Those are just excuses the simple fact is everybody is not going to win a championship what about players that weren't injured how come they didn't want to championship you making excuses
@@KKOOLSKOOL I think he would've made women's basketball even bigger!!! We lost a great one there. But my prayers to everyone and their families that were involved in such a tragedy.
I think what makes Kobe the greatest is literally that mindset and mentality. Many nba player has similar athleticism, better or worse. But what makes Kobe stands out is really his mamba mentality and intensity of doing whatever it takes to win the game and becoming the greatest attitude.
U and others need to re train your brain and thinking being a person whos gonna take a force shot aka low percentage bad shot to win a game is the Right MINDSET AMD MENTALITY. LEBRON has just as much desire and dedication to the game he puts everything into being great. Theres no one fuckin way to approach a competitive sport . Thats such a ridiculous claim. MAGIC smiled, kobe snarled, Duncan showed no emotion. U trying to tell me kobe wanted it more? Stop it
The term Mamba Mentality is overrated to me because there were many highly competitive players before him that lived, slept and breathed basketball. He got that mentality from MJ who got it from David Thompson.
@@bw0716 Kobe was proved innocent by the law, and the bitch who invented the fake allegation raped a song about the incident in a nightclub, which proves she only wanted Kobe's money: ruclips.net/video/zPqFmyqHHqU/видео.html
kobe was great at hogging the ball and taking a million shots. volume shooter is what he was. jordan did everything better and didn't have the most dominant big man of the last 25 years to help him. i can't understand the fan boys of kobe jerking it to his mere presence. "omg he is amazing. he scored 60 in his last game." on 50 shots.
me too, I think it was at a preseason game his rookie season I first saw Kobe, vs the hawks, he did a 360 layup, I'd never seen anything like that before, that was one of those moments that got me hooked on the NBA.
I love how he talks about his greatest rivals and have nothing but positive words and just utter respect for them. You’d think with how the media portrays him that he would talk trash about these players just like he does on court but no. His ego is as big as it can get on court but of court he is just humble.
kingsmeadow Lmao you got triggered when you saw "5 time champ" LeBum fan. He won't even get the Lakers to the playoffs this year, no more cakewalks to the Finals
Rest in Peace Mamba and Gigi. We are still in shock as basketball fans and as just human beings, we hope that you are all fine up there and you both keep your family safe. We all love you
One of those think I love about Kobe , he is real . He would talk great about other player which is respect but he didn’t have to say it but he does .. love Kobe 🪬❤️🏀
He's right about MJ. No wasted dribbles, no wasted space. It's like everything is calculated. No unnecessary dribbles, no nonsense. Not even a celebration after dunking on someone. He's all business. That's why he's the GOAT.
@@josepica7426 i was thinking the same thing! Even their built is the same, just the right amount of muscles. Both are superb lockdown perimeter defenders, both are beasts mid-range.
hassan haulcy basically he’s saying lebron is great actually very great but he’s not better than me and Jordan taught me a lot so much that I took his spot 🤷🏽♂️
I’ve always been a die hard MJ fan, but Kobe’s basketball IQ is also off the charts. He is such a student of the game. So impressive. Much respect. I will miss him greatly!!
He seems to be the only one that gives McGrady to publicly the respect he deserves. He was Kobes biggest competiton as far as scoring guards went for some years.
Look at Kobes trying to explain T-Macs capabilities, its funny how one of the goats who actually played against McGrady speaks so highly of him yet internet warriors call him overrated 😂 For a while Kobe and TMac were dominating the 2 guard.
Tracy McGrady was at one point maybe the best player in the NBA. He is overshadowed because of lack of team success and longevity, but his prime was absolutely dominance.
That's why team success should be separate from a player's success. 2 different things! One man doesn't win alone, no matter how much they do on the floor. It's a team game!
I still can't believe Kobe is gone. The more videos you watch of him outside of basketball it hurts even more. I'm from NYC but I rooted for this kid from Philly. May you, your daughter and the others who were lost on that fateful day rest peacefully.
The Time Michael Jordan talk trash to Kobe Bryant and instantly regretted it, Google and see what Kobe did the Michael, when Michael talked trash to Kobe, Kobe dropped 55 on Michael, and Michael had like 23, Michael learn not to talk trash to Kobe, the documentary could say many things, but when it came to the game Kobe knew he was better than Michael,
@@HamoodiClash JORDAN QUIT AND ALSO PLAYED WITH A BIG 3. KOBE NEVER QUIT NOR EVER HAD A BIG 3. JORDAN PLAYED IN A WEAK WING ERA. KOBE PLAYER IN TOUGHEST. STATS MEAN NUFFN IN 90’s UNLESS A BIG MAN IN THE BIG MAN ERA GENIUS
Kobe Bryant was such a humble and awesome man. He was more than a phenomenal basketball player, but just to look at the type of father and husband he was just highlights his character. I really like seeing how close he was to his daughters and to his wife. The pics of him and his daughter, Gianna, speak volumes of a dad and his daughter's relationship.Just a beautiful picture of love between them. Praying for the entire family.
It goes to show that during his playing years he was full throttle & that energy carried on into his post-retirement endeavors. I am forever inspired! Rest well Mamba & Mambacita

It’s soo weird watching his interview, it’s like he never died🤦🏾♂️
Right
Do u not understand how a video works or what is so weird about it
Legends don't die
He didn't to Jehovah he just sleep for a bit no worries.

Homosexuality is rampant in the NBA believe or not?!
@@09NXN06 Why are you guys posting up as if Kobe was on the DL?.
You know he meant basketball.
“I like flopping. I like flailing my arms in the air like I’ve been shot. I like falling to the floor and hearing the ref blowing the whistle to give me a call I didn’t deserve.” -Lebron
I am in so much shock that he is really gone I can’t believe what happened we love you Kobe and your family!!!❤️😭
Tmac, people still sleep on how good he was. Kobe saying that, is proof enough. Real recognizes real.
Yup nobody whose thrash wins back to back scoring titles
Nobody who is*.
Too bad he never managed to put it all together and take it all the way. That's the real shame in his career. He had the tools to be great, but never could do it.
Michael Hwang yea because of injuries dumb ass
@@taylor860gang If him and Yao never got injured and their careers cut short and actually played stayed healthy, they could've taken it all the way.
I was watching this yesterday, and today I just can't believe what happened.
T Mac is the most underrated player ever!! He was absolutely amazing
There is one thing that all the 6'8 cannot compare with him. He is so fucking smooth of all the move.
Most underrated player ever how long you been watching the game for 20 years
@@1990758 yes 20 years since i was 3. But trust me ik my history in basketball lol
@@caleblocklear4642 well my knowledge of basketball is far more Superior than yours I've been watching the game since the 60s I don't get excited anymore when I see somebody dunk the basketball I seen it before true the game is different but nevertheless a dunk is a dunk I never used the phrase best player ever seen it doesn't matter whether you or I were around does it matter how many teams were in the league the NBA started in the 40s no other NBA player can do what Wilt Chamberlain can do it's simply not going to happen again there will never be anyone close to Michael Jordan the comparisons are for the media to Hype it up and for people like you to believe in it there will never be anybody compared to LeBron James when he retired did you know the three point shot has not always been in the league and it's not utilize before like it is now LeBron Kobe Garnett those are not the first players that come out of high school no basketball player in the last 10 years has impressed me
@ Wilt Chamberlain is the greatest basketball player of all time doesn't matter how many rings he has when he played or how tall he was Shaquille O'Neal is nowhere close to Wilt Chamberlain Wilt Chamberlain was so good he could have came out at Junior High School and played in the NBA
Listening to Kobe is like listening to 90's rap, Tupac, Biggie, Nas. These guys today are more like migos and these other dudes. They ain't built the same. Not cut from the same cloth. Damn, I miss the 90's and players drafted in that decade!!
Erik Griffith same here bro these new kids are just weridos to ne
Facts different mentality and Talent
Erik Griffith kobe is like Lil Wayne James harden is like quavo
Erik Griffith I definitely agree. Kobe explained that MJ did not waste a single dribble, I believe Kobe didn’t waste a single word in this interview. It goes along with your comment as well, there are only a few hand picked players that can express themselves in such a way that is genuine and shows excellence, humbleness, and that has a fine essence
Erik Griffith Amen to that
Kobe's combo of talent, drive, intelligence and creativity was a rare combo. There will never be another.
Who’s here after the Lakers won the 2020 championship? This was for you and Gianna!
For them to win it they add to sacrifice both of them I am sure kobe refused when they asked for his daughter that is pretty clear to me now and I am now scared about mj with that sorcerer lebron doing space jam.
@@kylianmbappe1208 You sound incredibly and astronomically stupid.
@@ChiTownWarrior1 you pass judgment and don’t even know how the world really works. If you had a clue, you’d realize that the type of sacrifices that person spoke about actually happen. Wake up already.
@@kylianmbappe1208 When Kobe died, I told a friend that the lakers would win it all. Up until that point, really had no clue but once Kobe was gone, I was absolutely sure of it.
Love Bean 💪🏾
Kobe really respect T-mac, 7-all star, 2 scoring champ, 13 pts in 35 seconds, etc. I would say Tracy McGrady is one of the most underrated player in NBA history.
Leon Hong not really. He was huge back in the day but everyone and himself agreed he slacked on defense and he also would just try to get scoring titles and not win when he believed his team lacked the personal to compete for a championship. He didn’t have the drive of Kobe or Lebron to carry a bunch of bums deep into the playoffs.
@@nonyobussiness3440 yea..in terms of raw talent and pure scoring ability, hed be the 2nd only losing out to durant
Tracy McGrady was one of his good friends
Leon Hong FACTS❗️
No he was overrated and had a very short prime. He was done by 2009
Man i could listen to him talk ball all day....
Dre M pause
6:20 when Kobe talks about TMac.. and yall motherfckers thought Mac wasn't good enough for the HOF???
Just nothing special about Tracy McGrady he's just an NBA player that can put up a lot of points he was never going to win a ring and you can make all the excuses you want same thing with Dominique Wilkins but Dominique was more exciting but unfortunately people need to realize everybody is not going to win an NBA ring Carmelo Anthony is not going to win a ring we can go further back if it wasn't for Moses Malone dr. J would not have won a ring and he's my favorite basketball player of all time but that's the truth no Moses no rain
1990758
You can't say he would never win a championship, he wasn't healthy and had a shorter career because of it. Also, if he got a healthy grant hill and Tim Duncan, they probably would've have one at least one championship.
Means nothing,it doesn't mean he couldn't get the nba title lmbo@this clueless guy,Kobe the true king of basketball can tell you all kinds of thing's but can that oerson orove it to him tho !
Those are just excuses the simple fact is everybody is not going to win a championship what about players that weren't injured how come they didn't want to championship you making excuses
WHO IN THE FUCK SAID THAT!!??? They need their heads blown the hell off and then ran over by a got damn mac truck!
Watching stuff like this is just literally heartbreaking.
@Dewan Foster Soooooo true!!!! I'm like everyone else am so over 2020!!!!💯💯💯💯
JOHN KIRBY all he did was help everybody bro smh🤦🏿
@@KKOOLSKOOL I think he would've made women's basketball even bigger!!! We lost a great one there. But my prayers to everyone and their families that were involved in such a tragedy.
I think what makes Kobe the greatest is literally that mindset and mentality. Many nba player has similar athleticism, better or worse. But what makes Kobe stands out is really his mamba mentality and intensity of doing whatever it takes to win the game and becoming the greatest attitude.
U and others need to re train your brain and thinking being a person whos gonna take a force shot aka low percentage bad shot to win a game is the Right MINDSET AMD MENTALITY. LEBRON has just as much desire and dedication to the game he puts everything into being great. Theres no one fuckin way to approach a competitive sport . Thats such a ridiculous claim. MAGIC smiled, kobe snarled, Duncan showed no emotion. U trying to tell me kobe wanted it more? Stop it
The term Mamba Mentality is overrated to me because there were many highly competitive players before him that lived, slept and breathed basketball. He got that mentality from MJ who got it from David Thompson.
@@jonathanmarable4258 hey hey calm down bro. I agree Lebron is one of the greatest and he is my favorite of this era. No need to be triggered lol.
@@jonathanmarable4258 Bro like your idol. You Loose!
Exactly. "Every Game, Every Practice, Is Game 7. When you train like that..." The jewels he dropped... Edit: That is the MAMBA MENTALITY.
Kobe was a good brother, a shame we didn't get to see this side of him more.
Yeah
He talked well in 03 or it may have been 04 the SAS show he was interviewed
T Mac was like another KOBE not saying he was better but he damn sure could do everything KOBE could do
domonique drummer defense always ends that discussion. Can’t be Kobe if you don’t play defense, you’re just T-Mac
Except play defense
Rest in Peace to one of the GOATs.
There can only be one GOAT.

Possibly the most well spoken athlete ever.

@@bw0716 Kobe was proved innocent by the law, and the bitch who invented the fake allegation raped a song about the incident in a nightclub, which proves she only wanted Kobe's money: ruclips.net/video/zPqFmyqHHqU/видео.html
exactly all these people in nba talk so gangsta and shit. kobe is just a fucking god
kobe was great at hogging the ball and taking a million shots. volume shooter is what he was. jordan did everything better and didn't have the most dominant big man of the last 25 years to help him. i can't understand the fan boys of kobe jerking it to his mere presence. "omg he is amazing. he scored 60 in his last game." on 50 shots.
i remember watching his very first game live, boy time flies.
Zony Metaphorz same bro.
That’s why we have to enjoy every moment brother.
me too, I think it was at a preseason game his rookie season I first saw Kobe, vs the hawks, he did a 360 layup, I'd never seen anything like that before, that was one of those moments that got me hooked on the NBA.
Zony Metaphorz yes it does i love the man
Zony Metaphorz I would’ve hit like but it was 81 likes for Kobe
Man I miss you already.
Kobe was so articulate and well spoken . Lost a legend but lives forever in our hearts 🙌
Papa Kobe sharing with the younger NBA generation about the greatness of years past. This is how you honor history.
Kids today do not understand how good TMAC really was. Like REALLY WAS
Facts💯
RJ Ahlberg injuries is what happened. Kobe and Lebron James is why he isn’t talked about . Listen to Kobe talk about him (TMac). Ballers know.
@Clark Kent He's not talked about because he never led a team past the first round. Even Vince Carter was able to do that.
@@iamking7134 you might as well say the same thing about Grant Hill then
Freddy your point and what does he have to do with this video?
I love how he talks about his greatest rivals and have nothing but positive words and just utter respect for them. You’d think with how the media portrays him that he would talk trash about these players just like he does on court but no. His ego is as big as it can get on court but of court he is just humble.
Rest in peace Kobe Bryant and your daughter Gigi. Y'all will be missed along with the passengers aboard the helicopter
I cant stop watching these
“We don’t hang división banners”...the drive the mentality of this guy is juz in a another level!!
Rest In Peace Kobe Bryant. You gon always mean the World to us. 💜💛

"We don't hang division banners"
I peeped that too!

johnfinfin we also don’t touch the Western Conference trophy. The NBA awards it for going to the finals and it just sits there.
Yea I liked that too!! 🏆
tell that to the celtics
This man said "you could of told me you wanted me to help you get another contract, but he didn't tell me so I had to torch em" That's GOAT TALK !!!!
Bruh... Thats GOAT talk for real... Lol... Ruben Patterson is forever "Lil man" in Kobes eyes..
Yes
Mamba Mentality
No, he said “You could’ve (which is short of “could have”)
He's right about MJ. No wasted dribbles, no wasted space. It's like everything is calculated. No unnecessary dribbles, no nonsense. Not even a celebration after dunking on someone. He's all business. That's why he's the GOAT.
Check out kawhi Leonard he might be the next jordan
@@josepica7426 i was thinking the same thing! Even their built is the same, just the right amount of muscles. Both are superb lockdown perimeter defenders, both are beasts mid-range.
@@josepica7426 . Except Kawhai can't jaw like Jordan
Jordan is way mor e flexible athletic and acrobatic
MJ did celebrate after dunking on someone not always but he did do it
Crazy. Thought it was gonna be bittersweet watching this, but I still feel this dude’s presence as he’s speaking about the game. The Mamba lives on.

I must be a GOAT then since i can understand
hassan haulcy basically he’s saying lebron is great actually very great but he’s not better than me and Jordan taught me a lot so much that I took his spot 🤷🏽♂️
Kobe, Shaq, KG, Allen Iverson, T-Mac, J kid, Ect.. I miss watching them play 😩
"we don't hang divison banners!" - OG !!!
Yes. It will br more OG if they take down another city's banner. Minneapolis does not count.
Setting the bar high that's how kobe is old school.
What an assassin
I’ve always been a die hard MJ fan, but Kobe’s basketball IQ is also off the charts. He is such a student of the game. So impressive. Much respect. I will miss him greatly!!
Props for kobe to Give tmac his prop
He seems to be the only one that gives McGrady to publicly the respect he deserves. He was Kobes biggest competiton as far as scoring guards went for some years.
he should give it up he has a lot to do with ending his career a Lil earlier by giving a elbow to the spine Tmac wasn't the same since
Robert Woodard injuries don’t define the player unless the player allows it
Jordan, Kobe, Tmac, Bron, Durant. Most versatile top talents ever. And Best athletes as well.
Look at Kobes trying to explain T-Macs capabilities, its funny how one of the goats who actually played against McGrady speaks so highly of him yet internet warriors call him overrated 😂 For a while Kobe and TMac were dominating the 2 guard.
Tracy McGrady was at one point maybe the best player in the NBA. He is overshadowed because of lack of team success and longevity, but his prime was absolutely dominance.
That's why team success should be separate from a player's success. 2 different things! One man doesn't win alone, no matter how much they do on the floor. It's a team game!
Thats why I believe McGrady deserved his HOF ring. He said himself, that ring was his championship 😟
Kobe was still the better player.
He could just score a lot of points he can score a lot of points just like Pistol Pete Maverick
I think what he did better than Kobe was shoot from the outside and block shots. He also was more versatile.
Approach every practice and game like it was game seven. Love that mamba mentality.
I still can't believe Kobe is gone. The more videos you watch of him outside of basketball it hurts even more. I'm from NYC but I rooted for this kid from Philly. May you, your daughter and the others who were lost on that fateful day rest peacefully.
Kobe classy for mentioning shaq and pau
Can't believe he forgot Bynum.. Boy was a beast
elliot bizness Bynum was ok. He didn’t come into his own until the Lakers stopped winning as much
right over your head.
@@brandonreed3670 I remember different, but no biggie

Agreed

In that order
yes
Thats just because you dont know better.lol.
I really appreciate Kobe and his mentality. Thx for changing the game Kobe! Your legacy will never die.
Kobe has Jordan mentality. Jordan’s mindset was always that the score was zero-zero.
Or their down by 10 points
FOESHOW
Tried talking like Jordan as well
"I don't get five championships here without him." - Kobe comment on MJ in the last dance documentary 🐐

Kobe Bryant was such a humble and awesome man. He was more than a phenomenal basketball player, but just to look at the type of father and husband he was just highlights his character.
I really like seeing how close he was to his daughters and to his wife. The pics of him and his daughter, Gianna, speak volumes of a dad and his daughter's relationship.Just a beautiful picture of love between them. Praying for the entire family.
Could listen 2 him all day long
Fly hight kobe and gianna
Wish prayers among your family❤
Kobe a real one. He was man enough to give everyone the props that they deserve. Specially T-Mac !
It goes to show that during his playing years he was full throttle & that energy carried on into his post-retirement endeavors. I am forever inspired! Rest well Mamba & Mambacita
Kobe's NEVER been my favorite player but I love his Warrior mentality and his approach to the game bar none.
