1:01:37 man it’s impossible not to shed a tear when I hear you ask him “What will we see from you the next 20 years?” and hear him lay out his plan.. may he rest in peace and God bless his family
@@Jacob-hz6jw actually you're DEAD wrong. You cant realize something like that until you DO grow up. He wasn't a Christian, he was a prideful/arrogant know it all who didnt care about anyone else. Pride comes before a fall, a fall of a helicopter. There is no way he went to heaven.
@@SuperSikarlo There was literally no point in your comment, AT ALL. And you have no idea where Kobe's heart was or about his relationship with God. Leave the judging to God.
Felt pain in my chest when he said “I will do more in the next 20 years.” We didn’t just lose a super basketball athlete.....we lost so much more. I finally got Kobe’s autographed jersey for my kids, remind them what hard work is!
And that’s just one person man... I mean think of all the kids who got aborted or never had the proper situation to grow and cultivate their talents. Think of the impact they could have had on the world. Now realize that you are and have a life as well, and that you can accomplish anything you put your mind to
@@richieadams1502 Odd question to ask here. You could Google it, but those numbers aren't accurate. You don't have to worry about Vanessa and the kids though if that's why you're asking. I'd guess she's worth at least $200 mil.
The more I listen to Kobe talking, the more frustrating it gets. He was so sharp and had so much wisdom and experience. With his mindset and principles, he would have been just as successful in the second phase of his life. He reminds me a bit of Arnold Schwarzenegger and the journey he had. They were both perfectionists in their craft. Kobe seemed to have been an amazing teacher as well, with so much knowledge to share with not only basketball players but to people from all walks of life. As fans of basketball, we lost an irreplaceable link between the era of Jordan, Magic and Bird and today's generation. I hope players of today continue to apply what he was able to pass on, and continue studying him, his obsessive attention to detail, will to win and his will to be the very best he could become. This is something applicable to us all, regardless of what our craft or passion might be. A great man, who had so much more left to show and inspire us with, and who left us far too soon. RIP to those who lost their lives in the crash.
This interview was the first thing that came to mind when I heard of Kobe's passing. Kobe is so open and shares his mindset with us here. I don't play or follow basketball, (57 white female engineer) but I understand work ethic, following a passion, and giving it your all. That's what I relate to. Thank you so much for this video. I'm going to rewatch it...as soon as I stop crying.
Exactly! I mean, I watched it 5 months ago but it was so impactful that I remember the things he spoke about, which made me feel like "But he just did that interview the other day. How could this be?"
That is exactly what he is leaving behind he is a prime example for many that perseverance, hard work, and dedication are all you need to succeed in life.
Right? I cried the second I heard the news and I hardly knew the guy besides that he's an amazing NBA legend. I still can't believe he's really gone. So strange.
Steve Tari same. I used to hate basketball, but after Kobe’s death man everything changed, I’m obsessed with basketball now and I’m watching all his interviews, all his plays, his games, reading quotes, everything he says just connects with me and touches me deeply
"Everything was done to be a better basketball player, and when you have that point of view, the world becomes your library to help you become better at your craft" - wow
Same. Just an amazing person as well as athlete. It’s especially hard for me as an instrument rated helicopter pilot, just makes me sick every time I think about what happened.
@S Wavey no. It looks like they only look at numbers. They don't even bother to look up highlights. These kids need to look at the older players because the stat padding and flopping needs to stop.
@S Wavey dude he wasn't shooting well so he was facilitating and grabbing rebounds. To be truly great, you have to get the job done no matter what. His 5 rings reflect that
@S Wavey bro I'm a Celtics fan so I saw that. It was painful at first but I loved the way he played. Kobe missed the most shots ever. But he was arguably the most skilled player as well as the best difficult shot maker. These media critics can't stop his legacy of greatness.
I've watched this interview from front to back like 4 times. I go out to run & just listen to this, he was so inspiring. Mind you I never actually watched any of his games. I'm a big soccer fan, but just to listen to this man is so addicting. Amazing human being. He's not dead, he's more alive than ever. One Love
I love how he always mentioned Natalia. People always talked about the bond he has with Gigi, but kobe is also very close to his oldest. And I cant imagine the pain she's going through right now.
@@youflaw3285 I think that's a bit ambitious, but who knows what she would've been. She was special though, gone way too soon. I'm sad as everyone else about Kobe, I wouldn't have guessed I'd be so emotional cause I wasn't THAT big a fan, but I'm 41 and can honestly say this has been the saddest week of my life. Cried for 3 days straight, and I never even met the man (I coach in his old high school gym, so maybe I relate the two) ... Gigi is what crushed me though. I mean, at least Kobe lived his life. Dude accomplished more in 41 years than most people could even dream of. Still devastating, but at least he lived a good life, albeit one tragically cut short. Gigi though, and the other kids. Amazing how cruel life could be. You look at her pictures, her smile, her energy ... The whole world in front of her and it's gone in a second. 💜💛💔

When kobe passed I thought about how much my dad and I bonded over watching him play. Lost my dad in 2015. I was 27. Feels like I lost another part of my dad when kobe died. It was surprising how sad I was loosing Kobe. Thank you Kobe for your game and for your spirit. It brought a lot of people together. Shaq might have been unstoppable but We always looked at it as Kobe's team.
Be careful its eithèr u are in his Basement or he is in ur contract coming to demand Christmas results for no good reason in ur Bedroom while u sleep..tread with care, the Starlit floor 🥶😭😭 anywho he not hunting Jesus, Bro is effing Moses parting the Red sea💀 this is me rn 🐣🦭🐣🐢✈🫂 fèling like the hidden village guys watching the mountain come down after saying " planetary divastation" with chest 🤣🤣🤣 bruh😅 and the life contract 😶
Still in disbelief I got to see this in-person in 2019. This is my FIRST time I am able to watch this. I am ready to make 2024 the greatest year of my LIFE! Thank you PBD for putting that event together!🙏🏼#KobeYear 🐐
He’s so eloquent, he talks amazing, it’s a pleasure to hear him. I would really like just one opportunity to talk with him and ask him some stuff about life. He’s 41, but he talks like he witnessed everything in life.
"THE WORLD IS YOUR LIBRARY SO YOU CAN PERFECT YOUR CRAFT"...powerfully inspirational quote!! R.I.P. to ALL the lives lost in this horrific tragedy...💔😢💝😇
Yup, a lot of that is probably because he grew up in Italy when he was younger with a whole different culture. Good on him for not falling into the stereotypical American raised Black Basketball player.
This young man is truly going to be missed he is very intelligent and articulate and has one of the great minds that most of us will ever see in our lifetime.
I’m not going to lie, I cried when I heard the terrible news. Other than a basketball legend, Kobe seemed like a humble, down to earth person that you can easily know or relate to. This is more than just another high-profile death. As a father, seeing his daughter pass with him makes it even more heartbreaking. My prayers and condolences to everyone involved in this unspeakable tragedy.
@@Executor009 he’s humble and down to earth. It’s just that when he sets his mind on getting something he has a killer instinct and he has a lot confidence that’s all
@@Executor009he’s the most down to earth you could be. Rethink the definition if you don’t think so. He lives in reality and lifts others and asks for help, especially post retirement. Rest in peace
RIP mamba,love you from India. I still remember in 2009 as a cricket fan I woke up early to catch the action between India and New Zealand series, but deu to bad weather match was delayed,. So I just switched the channel and saw celtics vs lakers finals series was live . From that day onwards ...I don't have any words. This stings!
The amazing part about this interview is I can see his competitiveness coming off in the interview. He is determined to answer each question precisely. When he is done with an question I see that Mamba look like he just scored 50.
@@frightfactoryYT Well obviously hes not the first 'legend' who passed away, stop wining bout that it'll not get him back to life lol. Hes dead, deal with that. period
A very intelligent gentleman. No wonder he earned our respect and admiration. To think that Kobe skipped college for NBA, but when he opens his mouth and starts talking his talking with a lot of sense and ingenuity. He is cocky, but little did everyone know that he had s lot of things he is proud of. He accomplished alot of things because of his great mental toughness, sheer determination and passion for what he does. The world will be missing you Kobe. You will be returning to the place where you should be - Heaven. I know that God Almighty will be happy to see you back.
America used to live by these words. Now it's "when does the government send me another stimulus check", "when does the government send my food stamps", "When will the government increase minimum wage while I maintain my minimal effort" etc We used to be the nation of entrepreneurs, now we're the nation of government slaves.
In just one hour, with Patrick's excellent line of questioning and great level of articulation by Kobe, he told us alot about 1) How the world becomes a library when you know what you're looking for. 2) How to handle extreme levels of pressure on the big days. 3) How an insane work ethic beats God gifted talent. 4) How to be a good Parent and husband by setting the example ourselves. 5) How to choose people we should collaborate with. Kobe is more than an athlete. His mindset is his most valuable asset. Mamba mentality 💯 I will always come back to this interview, for it contains valuable life lessons.
My plan was to watch this in 20 min segments over 3 nights. Ended up watching the whole thing first night. Best interview I've ever heard. The host transitioned into different life timelines perfectly.
I hate that I didn’t really see his “Mamba Mentality” until he was gone. Unreal the way he played, how he used that same mentality as a father and husband. Such an unreal human being and athlete!! Super intelligent! Gone too soon!!
Same my kid cried when he died i just didnt get it u dnt know this man and today i just realize what my son lost and i just want him to have that again that Mamba mentality
RIP man I had to come back and watch this today. This is probably the last real heart to heart interview he had. Smh we lost someone so strong in our time. We gotta live strong and in an example he would lead. Thanks Kobe.
It's very heart breaking when at the end of the interview you ask him, " what should we expect from you in the next 20 yrs. " and he tells you at length what his plans are, and we are here now. May he rest in peace. Great role model.
I am watching this for the second time and towards the end, I just pictured David having Kobe come back today for a sit down, and I don't see Kobe saying anything different, the energy is the same and the obsession still there. RIP Kobe you are the greatest of all time
The intelligence of a person is known by the Questions they ask... Patrick asked really wise questions - Family, Career, High school, and Post retirement... That's the reason we are able to hear this GEM from Bryant... RESPECT...
It’s 50/50 and u haven’t heard Kobe speak before and ur comment wreaks of hate by feeling need to reach by saying only reason Kobe sounded so intellectual and what not is cuz the interviewer is great at his job. SMH guess this interviewer must have spent everty sec or every day w Kobe cuz he was great at everything he did and even better at eloquently explaining his thinking behind all of it and believe it or not…he did ALL of that without this “greatest interviewer ever” 😂😂😂
I’ve watched the interview multiple times and it never gets old. Can’t believe it’s been 4 years. Keep resting peacefully Kobe, Gigi, and everyone else on board.
This man is so passionate, so obsessive and so workaholic that even in heaven if it exists, he'll not be Rest in Peace, he probably would be grinding behind something and gonna leave his mark of greatness in heaven too!! Love you, Kobe!
TO CUT SHORT ALL OF THE IMPORTANT AND FABULOUS THINGS THIS MAN WAS ABOUT TO BRING TO HUMANITY IS A TRAGEDY OF THE HIGHEST MAGNITUDE. WHAT HE BROUGHT TO THE GAME OF BASKETBALL WAS ONLY THE BEGINNING!! MAMBA FOREVER!!
Had to come back to this just to drop a R.I.P never watched basketball in my life but this guy has the energy of greatness! Never take a moment for granted
One of the most poignant and relevant quotes that’s always resonated with me in trying to understand what life is all about is... “ DEATH IS NOT THE GREATEST LOSS IN LIFE. THE GREATEST LOSS IN LIFE IS WHAT DIES INSIDE US WHILE WERE ALIVE...” R.I.P Kobe Bryant , GG and all the others who lost their lives. May god give you a safe passage to heaven 🙏🏾🤲🏾✌🏾 Life is truly short and this tragedy should teach us before its forgotten how to be better human beings to each other....
There are few things which "make you move" and there are few things that "move you" .... And every single time when I listens Kobe, he moves me. No other forces needed, not even of myself.
Credit To Vanessa she held The Family down while Kobe did his Job. Kobe came home after Retirement and said I've got the girls in the morning getting them to school and to activities 💚
"I had a purpose I wanted to be one of the best basketball players to ever play and anything else outside of that lane I didn't have time for" -kobe bryant
God how I miss Kobe. There is no other like him. He handled everything so classy and was so humble. He makes players today look weak. He is so right that you are getting good money to perform…..PERFORM. THE GOAT ❤️
So much life wisdom in this video, a gem for everyone who wants to become someone better. RIP Kobe Bryant , thank you for becoming you. ✝️🏀 Thank you Valeutainment for bringing us such incredible content.
Pat's expression when Kobe says "when i finish my career, i dont want to look back and say, i wish i would have done more" - that was a dart in the bulls eye! RiP Kobe
Literally watched this last night. Left saying thanks for the memories Kobe. Go enjoy your family. Then wake up to this.Very sad. RIP Kobe. I am heart broken for his wife and girls.
I watched this when it first came out. Enjoyed it for sure. Now I’m re-watching in August of 2021. This is the sentence that got me into tears when Kobe said“No! I’ma gonna do something the next 20 years that is better than this last 20!” R.I.P. MAMBA
GUYS, I can't even IMAGINE 00:56:50 what 20 years of incredible perfomance of this extraordinary individual we've lost a year ago. Probably nobody's going to read this, but my heart felt broken when Kobe told about next 20 years of his life were going to be greater than his career. Rest in Peace with a ball in your hands, Kobe
When he said he's going to be better in his next 20 years, tears streaming down my face. I felt like we lost a bright light in this World, but the truth is, his light will shine bright forever. RIP to Kobe, Gigi, and all the amazing souls on the helicopter that gloomy day. January 26th will never be the same. 💔
The world will miss him but FOREVER remember him. Our heart is with you, your daughter and your family Kobe. RIP - Valuetainment team.
He will forever be remembered.
Legends never die.

Oh my God... Well this is a lesson. That is a man dying with no regrets. Thank you for elevating humanity. That was a life well spend.
Dimitris Telis exactly, you read my mind
So true
Facts 💯
Still in disbelief I got to see this in-person in 2019. This is my FIRST time I am able to watch this.
I am ready to make 2024 the greatest year of my LIFE! Thank you PBD for putting that event together!🙏🏼#KobeYear 🐐
He’s so eloquent, he talks amazing, it’s a pleasure to hear him. I would really like just one opportunity to talk with him and ask him some stuff about life. He’s 41, but he talks like he witnessed everything in life.
Kobe is one smart philosopher and will never get bored picking up his brains
I love the lakers and Kobe's my all time favorite. But what I love more is the mindset, that's why I love Kobe.
"THE WORLD IS YOUR LIBRARY SO YOU CAN PERFECT YOUR CRAFT"...powerfully inspirational quote!! R.I.P. to ALL the lives lost in this horrific tragedy...💔😢💝😇
Very powerful indeed...
It's sad 😣😭😢
Very true.
Man, Kobe is brilliant and well spoken! This is probably the best interview I have witnessed!
Yup, a lot of that is probably because he grew up in Italy when he was younger with a whole different culture. Good on him for not falling into the stereotypical American raised Black Basketball player.
@@sonnycusa his dad was a professional basketball player in Italy
@@MrZZsharka Yup!
Most of the men today should study more the mindset of the greatest athletes instead of listening to Tate
@@OfficialSantaClaus what’s wrong with Tate (just asking)
This young man is truly going to be missed he is very intelligent and articulate and has one of the great minds that most of us will ever see in our lifetime.
Watching this at 130 am.
Was half asleep when I started watching....
Now, I'm ready to run a few dozen miles!
Antonio Villanueva that’s the mamba mentality
Antonio Villanueva watching at 4:30
I’m not going to lie, I cried when I heard the terrible news. Other than a basketball legend, Kobe seemed like a humble, down to earth person that you can easily know or relate to. This is more than just another high-profile death. As a father, seeing his daughter pass with him makes it even more heartbreaking. My prayers and condolences to everyone involved in this unspeakable tragedy.
Based on this interview only, Kobe was not at all humble or down to earth, and that's not a bad thing in the slightest.
@@Executor009 he’s humble and down to earth. It’s just that when he sets his mind on getting something he has a killer instinct and he has a lot confidence that’s all
@@Executor009he’s the most down to earth you could be. Rethink the definition if you don’t think so. He lives in reality and lifts others and asks for help, especially post retirement. Rest in peace
RIP mamba,love you from India. I still remember in 2009 as a cricket fan I woke up early to catch the action between India and New Zealand series, but deu to bad weather match was delayed,. So I just switched the channel and saw celtics vs lakers finals series was live . From that day onwards ...I don't have any words. This stings!
Thats POWERFUL BRO ! #Respect
The amazing part about this interview is I can see his competitiveness coming off in the interview. He is determined to answer each question precisely. When he is done with an question I see that Mamba look like he just scored 50.
This men is surely brilliant, fearless, cocky but humble asf at the same time! An amazing brother!! He will be missed dearly!!❤
You learn how humble someone is when they are with you one on one , not internet, this Internet is a consistent commercial ad.
I don't think he's very humble
Dude is just wired different. Absolute one of one.
differently*
you must enter a name Insane work ethic. Much different than good.
And now hes under the ground and covered full with dirt. SO what? Hes one of THOUSAND of people
@@frightfactoryYT Well obviously hes not the first 'legend' who passed away, stop wining bout that it'll not get him back to life lol. Hes dead, deal with that. period
@@frightfactoryYT Only weak human beings are wired to mourn about a lost. Work on that and surpass your limit, now be silent.
I’m actually going to cry just Hearing his voice
A very intelligent gentleman. No wonder he earned our respect and admiration. To think that Kobe skipped college for NBA, but when he opens his mouth and starts talking his talking with a lot of sense and ingenuity. He is cocky, but little did everyone know that he had s lot of things he is proud of. He accomplished alot of things because of his great mental toughness, sheer determination and passion for what he does.
The world will be missing you Kobe. You will be returning to the place where you should be - Heaven. I know that God Almighty will be happy to see you back.
The Part Kobe says, 'Am gonna do something in the next 20 years that is better than these last 20' ...that part got me, R.I.P Kobe🙏
RIP TO THE GOAT ... In honor of this man, DON’T BE LAZY & GO GET IT! 🙏🏻
After watching this, my respect grew exponentially for Kobe. Truly a great person.
MVP! MVP! MVP! Kobe would get these chants on road games. Amazing! Best hooper on this side of heaven!
As if you knew hey
I got the chills watching the introduction and the crowd chanting Kobe 😢 man I miss him
"As a competitor, I'm not ducking shit." Words to live by. God Bless the Bryants.
America used to live by these words. Now it's "when does the government send me another stimulus check", "when does the government send my food stamps", "When will the government increase minimum wage while I maintain my minimal effort" etc
We used to be the nation of entrepreneurs, now we're the nation of government slaves.
@@joebenson528 earth is flat people mind are a spinning ball
Kobe is talking basketball but I can apply all of this to my career today.
RIP Kobe, true legend
Best interview ever. You can tell that Kobe was relaxed and opening up to Patrick like I've never seen him do with anyone else.
You ever seen Graham Bensinger?
Sergio You’re weird as fuck
Eric Worku Kobe respects his grind
You obviously haven’t seen many Kobe interviews. Every time he speaks it’s all honesty and openness.
@@drevm7991 u didn't got the point man
Kobe was ruthless. What a true G
In just one hour, with Patrick's excellent line of questioning and great level of articulation by Kobe, he told us alot about
1) How the world becomes a library when you know what you're looking for.
2) How to handle extreme levels of pressure on the big days.
3) How an insane work ethic beats God gifted talent.
4) How to be a good Parent and husband by setting the example ourselves.
5) How to choose people we should collaborate with.
Kobe is more than an athlete. His mindset is his most valuable asset. Mamba mentality 💯
I will always come back to this interview, for it contains valuable life lessons.
Can't believe he is gone, I've watched this interview a couple of weeks ago and found it the most inspiring I've seen recently...RIP legend
Kobe's motivation, energy, consistency, hard work...... exceptional.
My plan was to watch this in 20 min segments over 3 nights. Ended up watching the whole thing first night. Best interview I've ever heard. The host transitioned into different life timelines perfectly.
The black mamba himself! Not afraid of no one and kept going, RIP legend
I hate that I didn’t really see his “Mamba Mentality” until he was gone. Unreal the way he played, how he used that same mentality as a father and husband. Such an unreal human being and athlete!! Super intelligent! Gone too soon!!
Uhh shabina o gv mmll ooob I xxx
Same my kid cried when he died i just didnt get it u dnt know this man and today i just realize what my son lost and i just want him to have that again that Mamba mentality
His last greatest Interview and endless value given to the world was here in this video Pat... I'm so shook and shocked right now...
I stared to tearing up just hearing the audience shouting his name! It’s been a year. Wish he’s resting in heaven peacefully!
@Batman shut up you negative person and look at your own life..you must feel sad ,,hope you are ok
he's not in heaven ,kobe bryant is taking a rest

RIP man I had to come back and watch this today. This is probably the last real heart to heart interview he had. Smh we lost someone so strong in our time. We gotta live strong and in an example he would lead. Thanks Kobe.
Kobe is my daily inspiration such a GOOD HUMAN BEING
R.I.P Kobe bryant 🥺truly one of the greatest ever not just in basketball but in life too
it still looks so weird seeing “RIP Kobe Bryant” 😭😭😭
This isn't an interview, this is a legend speaking to another Legend
@Private Privacy such a sad little man I pity you.
Oh well shit happens, he has more money than you, hence more power than you. It’s called Capitalism deal with it. Peace
Luis Perez who's the other guy talking to Kobe?
@Private Privacy I'm guessing that woman was your mom judging by how salty you are
Never heard of the guy
It's very heart breaking when at the end of the interview you ask him, " what should we expect from you in the next 20 yrs. " and he tells you at length what his plans are, and we are here now. May he rest in peace. Great role model.
Well..
I ll tell you one thing..
Kobe will never see his girls growing up in these next 20 years..
And for me..
Thats heartbreaking
@@jonbonesmahomes7472 he'd probably give away his whole career to spend it with his fam again if he had a choice
@@sebbymannella he'd give anything..
That career wouldnt even be possible without his supportive family
@@sebbymannella He died doing what he loved which is spend Time with family taking his daughter to her game. He was always there for his family.
I am watching this for the second time and towards the end, I just pictured David having Kobe come back today for a sit down, and I don't see Kobe saying anything different, the energy is the same and the obsession still there. RIP Kobe you are the greatest of all time
Kobe got mad love when he was here. Thats the beauty of this interview. So many dont get the love till they die and thats a shame. R I.H Kobe
RIP KOBE!
It’s a shame and I can relate.
Well said
Rest in heaven?
@@pablodetimofeev6450, I hope he means heaven.
RIP. What a player, what a legend and more importantly what a MAN.
Everything he says is pure gold. What a true legend and model of how we can choose to live life.
Kobe is my all time favorite player. Patrick is a master at what he does. Great questions.
🏀 Kobe Bryant gives the best interviews. The man is a genius 🏀
The intelligence of a person is known by the Questions they ask...
Patrick asked really wise questions - Family, Career, High school, and Post retirement...
That's the reason we are able to hear this GEM from Bryant...
RESPECT...
Watching for the 100th time ...❤️❤️
Consummate professional

It’s 50/50 and u haven’t heard Kobe speak before and ur comment wreaks of hate by feeling need to reach by saying only reason Kobe sounded so intellectual and what not is cuz the interviewer is great at his job. SMH guess this interviewer must have spent everty sec or every day w Kobe cuz he was great at everything he did and even better at eloquently explaining his thinking behind all of it and believe it or not…he did ALL of that without this “greatest interviewer ever” 😂😂😂
I’ve watched the interview multiple times and it never gets old. Can’t believe it’s been 4 years. Keep resting peacefully Kobe, Gigi, and everyone else on board.
I know I'm speaking for everyone when I say this, it's so hard to believe he's gone
Believe me , he's helping me and he's close to my heart more than even now.
Not me
not me .. ppl die everyday after years of suffering.. this guy didnt !
@@AntonioVictorSpada NV

A
am a aaa
still miss that guy
This man is so passionate, so obsessive and so workaholic that even in heaven if it exists, he'll not be Rest in Peace, he probably would be grinding behind something and gonna leave his mark of greatness in heaven too!! Love you, Kobe!
Goat comment
Yea obsessive with certain woman
This is heart breaking. He had so much more to give the world
TO CUT SHORT ALL OF THE IMPORTANT AND FABULOUS THINGS THIS MAN WAS ABOUT TO BRING TO HUMANITY IS A TRAGEDY OF THE HIGHEST MAGNITUDE. WHAT HE BROUGHT TO THE GAME OF BASKETBALL WAS ONLY THE BEGINNING!! MAMBA FOREVER!!
FACTS!!
Had to come back to this just to drop a R.I.P never watched basketball in my life but this guy has the energy of greatness! Never take a moment for granted
One of the most poignant and relevant
quotes that’s always resonated with me in trying to understand what life is all about is...
“ DEATH IS NOT THE GREATEST LOSS IN LIFE.
THE GREATEST LOSS IN LIFE IS WHAT DIES INSIDE US WHILE WERE ALIVE...”
R.I.P Kobe Bryant , GG and all the others who lost their lives. May god give you a safe passage to heaven 🙏🏾🤲🏾✌🏾
Life is truly short and this tragedy should teach us before its forgotten how to be better human beings to each other....
"If you want to be an example for your kids you got to show them not just talk" so real.. 🙏🍻
There are few things which "make you move" and there are few things that "move you" .... And every single time when I listens Kobe, he moves me. No other forces needed, not even of myself.
I watched this interview more than I have watched any interview. The POWER of this man's voice is incredibly contagious. Gone to soon!
Credit To Vanessa she held The Family down while Kobe did his Job. Kobe came home after Retirement and said I've got the girls in the morning getting them to school and to activities 💚
Oh, you mean the stuff a Mom SHOULD do?
Johnny Ancich yes but a lot don’t cuz they’re spoiled
I agree
Even though kobe cheated on her
Its okay
Pat, I have to confess. After watching this interview, I finally understood why I am 2nd in my industry, for many years.
I'am in tears now!
Ya I would like to know your key takeaway
"I had a purpose I wanted to be one of the best basketball players to ever play and anything else outside of that lane I didn't have time for"
-kobe bryant
I actually got pissed when he said we only have 15 minutes left to Kobe. Amazing Interview!!
Kobe my man is an alpha, a boss, an icon for generations to come.
Such a brilliant mind. He was going to accomplish so much more outside of basketball.
God how I miss Kobe. There is no other like him. He handled everything so classy and was so humble. He makes players today look weak. He is so right that you are getting good money to perform…..PERFORM. THE GOAT ❤️
So much life wisdom in this video, a gem for everyone who wants to become someone better. RIP Kobe Bryant , thank you for becoming you. ✝️🏀
Thank you Valeutainment for bringing us such incredible content.
Thank you for becoming you...Becoming You ! That s a profound ststement
Pat's expression when Kobe says "when i finish my career, i dont want to look back and say, i wish i would have done more" - that was a dart in the bulls eye! RiP Kobe
Literally watched this last night. Left saying thanks for the memories Kobe. Go enjoy your family. Then wake up to this.Very sad. RIP Kobe. I am heart broken for his wife and girls.
Watching this every year. For me this in the number one interview you can listen.
Legendary interview. The hour seriously flew by..
I watched this when it first came out. Enjoyed it for sure. Now I’m re-watching in August of 2021. This is the sentence that got me into tears when Kobe said“No! I’ma gonna do something the next 20 years that is better than this last 20!” R.I.P. MAMBA
GUYS, I can't even IMAGINE 00:56:50 what 20 years of incredible perfomance of this extraordinary individual we've lost a year ago. Probably nobody's going to read this, but my heart felt broken when Kobe told about next 20 years of his life were going to be greater than his career. Rest in Peace with a ball in your hands, Kobe

People will see this.
True
When he said he's going to be better in his next 20 years, tears streaming down my face. I felt like we lost a bright light in this World, but the truth is, his light will shine bright forever. RIP to Kobe, Gigi, and all the amazing souls on the helicopter that gloomy day. January 26th will never be the same. 💔
We appreciate people like you beautiful‼️God Bless you.
He was a athletically talented man and nothing more. He was no god. Why do people worship public figures?
@@kevinmicheal817 where did I say Kobe was God? Just curious 🤔
@@kevinmicheal817 nothing more ? Lol what have you done?
You just sound dumb tbh
@@kevinmicheal817because they’ve made it meaning there is something to learn from them
I can’t believe he’s gone, hearing his words mean so much now
