Killers respect killers is the most hood analogy ever.
Man I really felt that shit tho 😂
I immediately pressed the like button the moment he said "Killers respect Killers" That was a straight up O.G. statement.
100%
Kobe was uh Killer something like OJ...
Facts, Kobe has ALWAYS respected Allen Iverson and regards to him in the highest level. That’s real love and admiration.
I think allen Iverson is a class act..Man he's the realest player ever yo
Yup. He cannot lie, fake, bs. He is honest like a child. Pure.
AI IS THE MFN TRUTH
Yep, never was a fan as a player as I was Kobe all day and AI was a fucking threat, however, AI is one of my faves and most respected now...real as it gets man. The guy you would want as a friend.
@@Methadone4Life Yea A.l. is the truth...
Same here man these brothers got my eyes watering real shit fellas peace and blessing
Never gonna get over Kobe and his child just makes it extra unreal
True but god gives us extra motivation to show us these lives on earth are temporary and souls are forever my brother 💯🐍💛.
Especially seeing the imprint he not only put on GG but also her teammates. The look of ferocious intensity she had sometimes was SO Kobe!
We wasnt worthy ! He did what he was set out to do and it was his time , #LegendsNeverDie !!!!
I feel you man. I can’t get over it because personally I haven’t even accepted it yet. It’s a tough one
Never
I’ll never be over Kobe being gone
neither will i
Me too and I was never a huge fan
Remember the day he passed away i was at work and somebody came in and said kobe was killed in a helicopter crash could not believe it
John Mayes my mother told me and I immediately went on my phone to find out and I cried my heart out.....he was my hero since I was a kid
@@012gage i feel you i grew up in the jordan era im 39 and jordan is the greatest but i will take kobe over lebron anyday kobe was a killer like jordan
What sucks is that the younger generation never got to see Kobe and Iverson they were so important to our childhood
I used to shoot free throws alone at my house as a kid. I'd shoot sets of 10, keeping track of my makes. 7/10, 8/10, etc. The first 10, I was Kobe. The 2nd 10, I was AI. Then Marbury, Gary Payton, Grant Hill, and so on. I'd repeat this for hours. I always tried a little bit harder when I was Kobe or Iverson. Maybe because even then, I knew that they competed the hardest and I wanted to emulate that. They were my heroes. That was a big part of my childhood. I can only imagine some kid out there is doing the same thing rn but with Curry, KD, Bron, Dame, Book, Ja, or whoever else they look up to.
96 was the best draft class of all-time, they shaped the whole NBA of today
Straight up
Klutch sports erasing history while not realizing none of these kids will even know Bron either, it's just creepy foul $hit going on. Literally zero sum game. NBA needs a reset. No Bron. No Klutch.
Literally the reason I’m alive i wanted to play ball because of them i watched no one else and i would have been outside up to no good if I didn’t have the pleasure of watching them
I think it's kinda cool that Kobe and AI never had a casual relationship.
The fact that they were only really able to relate to eachother on the hardwood is actually profound in a way.
Sometimes you can relate better on the court than anywhere else.
2 very different dudes except for the fire and killer instinct on the wood
Wow! That’s really accurate!
Real fighters talk through their fists, they were like that. Outside basketball they were completely different, but when the ball goes up everybody knows there's nobody around who wants to win more than those two. That's why they're legends now
💯💯💯 yup I said da same thing too!!!
Yeah but at some point, when you look back, the relationships are what matter. It’s lonely in this world and those relationships do matter. So I feel AI on wishing he had a closer relationship with Kobe. And I’m willing to bet Kobe kinda wished he had some closer relationships with people too when it was all said and done.
As a laker fan, watching any Kobe videos reels u in. This shit is still sad man 😔😔
As a fan of the game, period, this stuff reels you in. Legends never die!!!
@Keenan Powell Same, I left Laker Nation once James hijacked the ship.
JetPlane Valentine you must not be a Kobe fan then. Cuz Lebron just brought the Lakers to the finals. You don’t think Kobe would appreciate that? You Lebron haters look and sound more stupid every time I see one of y’all.
sure thing crybaby queens, get these fehgs some tissues
I think the lakers sold out to lebron, btw im a dip shit loser and you already know that from what i said huh
Iverson: Im going to the club
Kobe : Im going to the gym
Kobe & Iverson : both greatness
Iverson: We talkin abou practice?
@@kevinjohnduerme8963 we talk bout game and he talkin bout practice
Yeah just that A.I had a short "Greatness" vs Bean's GREATNESS!
Massive difference!
Fuck 6 8 just think if he “PRACTICE “ like dem he was all raw rip Kobe
Both took different paths and both ELEVATED THE GAME #LegendShit
A.i's such a G.O.A.T we never gonna see his eyes again
U just made me smile
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
As a diehard Lakers fan, Iversone is one of the few non-Laker players I have mad love & respect for. Him & Jordan. I was literally in tears watching this. Much respect, AI 🤜🏾🤛🏾
Someone give A.I. a hug man. You can tell he’s still devastated.
Mike and Kobe are Iverson favorites
And shaq he love shaq
WOAH, the best two players are his favorite?!??!? Sooooooooo cool, you da best, how did you ever figure this out?
He be like Lebron too. GUYS I KNOW WHO IVERSON BE LIKING
Do yall know how he feel about steph curry?????? I do
I cheat and just combine them into one, when doing my top five..
Cutting too quick from one camera to another. Cmon man, we don't need all that. They're not even moving, so why are they switching angles so much
Fuck couple seconds in I’m like it’s a headache
Just listen, don’t watch
It's a edit. A vicious choppy one.
Editor trying to earn a check 🤣
AI is a tough interview in part because he talks really slow. I'm sure they edited this for flow.
Love how real AI is. He shows all the love to the current players unlike some other retired players who seem bitter.
That's how you know he actually loves the game.
I always respected Iverson.. he always gave Kobe his respect and vice versa. If Iverson had a team he would of won more
true. if philly had denver mutombo that might have sealed it. mutombo was great in 01 but lots of mileage already at that point in his frame to be a problem for shaq. denver mutombo had pogo stick legs.
EXACTLY 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Iverson was actually better than kobe at some point. And kobe knew that. It bothered him
Kobe and Iverson!!!! One of the best rivalries. Game recognize Game.
Allen Iverson - greatest pound for pound basketball player of all time. If you guys know basketball, y’all know he was the most unstoppable player ever. Nobody ever stopped this man from scoring the ball.
Kobe said in an interview "People come to me saying Yo Kob you know you can take Mike on a 1 on 1right! And I said hold on, what you got from me is from him"
This guy was so humble and respectful towards Mike, that's why you don't hear no ridiculous GOAT debate between him and Mike because he made it clear from the get go who was the GOAT. And Mike have so much respect for him too.
Love kobe. Will forever be my favourite hooper. Pisses me off when people have to question themselves to even put him top 5. Of course he's top 5! The media agenda against him over the years has no doubt played a part in infiltrating people's minds with BS subconsciously. He played in a stacked West for 20 years and changed pau gasol into the player he ended up being (as Paul pierce said). Not many top players would've won 2 rings with that lakers side. The man was different. As Roy Jones said "Y'ALL MUST'VE FORGOT". Or as Kevin Durant Said "MJ is 1A and Kobe is 1B" then its the rest. Rest in peace Kob. You're missed down here.
No he aint
Mj bron Kareem bill wilt magic/bird
Bron is not on top of Kobe. Gtfoh.
@@RemyDelaCruz why not?
Hassan Khan Facts! 💯
Rip mamba. These players stood up an respected his legacy well before he passed. To bad the media waited to till afterwards.
Allen iverson is a true to life brother all the way through!!💯💪🏾
I know both Allen and Kobe wish they could’ve had that relationship with each other. They had so much respect for each other, it’s surprising that they never got to that point. We think we have all the time in the world, man.
Iverson and Kobe are my favorite players.
If AI mentions you
You doing something right
“Dame Dolla”
Dame Dolla Dame 50 cent it dont matter Lebron sent em packin
You can tell this really hurts Iverson deeply. They both competed and gave their max against each other, and that alone created this bond that it will always stay with him. That the impact Kobe’s legacy had with so many, it got to the deepest core and root of so many of them, and that goes way beyond all the talent, an achievement so few get to achieve.
Funny how the media continues to leave Kobe out of any and all goat conversations, however, when the players and fans speak it tells the opposite.
THIS
Factz who we gonna listen to former players or non athletic never playing sports media???
Kobe might just be the most skilled nba basketball player ever even more skilled then MJ. Now I didn’t say better I said skill wise if he not then it’s MJ 1A Kobe 1B . Everyone wanted to be trained by Kobe : kyrie , Tatum , kawhi , etc... everyone wanted to pick his brain wanted his training abs work ethic. MJ created air Jordan Kobe Manama a mentality. He was the only nba player if not sport figure ever to touch so many different sports worldwide ppl had no idea how powerful and influential this guy was across all sports no other athletes from any sports was like that. I would say no other actor even when Mike Jackson died it didn’t have that impact. ppl always thought Kobe was never going to die like he was immortal it wasn’t even a question. This guy was doing trust fund not just for nba player but all athletes across sports to help. This guy literally was the mouth piece for WNBA when ppl ridiculed it. Brother spoke more language then Harvard students. he want just a master but also a student of the game. He wasn’t given nothing he wasn’t handed a team at 18 he had to work from the bench to where he wanted to go. Ppl like then hated then liked him. He didn’t give a flying fuck. He went through his fair share of trouble and rises above. Great father great man. No other nba player will have close of that impact. MJ Kobe Kareem magic bird Duncan wilt shaq Russell are at the top of Mount Rushmore
Bob Anderson 💯
The one Above all Lebron better than all of them
Damn shit got awkward af when Staks called out SAS 😂😂😂
"That other guy"
When he said yo homeboy I was like DAMN
🤣🤣🤣
*😁I'm HiP!*#💯❗!*
Wasn’t he just on all the smoke podcast lasts season ? What happened
The respect and brotherhood amongst current and former NBA players is a joy to watch.
Rip Kobe & Gigi and to the other families who died in the plane crash
I man miss Kobe so much. I love seeing ppl talk great about him . Rest in Peace to him & GiGi and the others 🙏
I Grew up in Serbia, the other fucking side od the world and after everyone wanted to be like Mike we all wanted to be AI. This dude is the most stylish and graceful basketball player that I’ve seen. We call braids amd cornrows the Iverson over here, that’s how influential this dude was. Gotta love AI.
A. I. Definitely deserves to be mentioned with the greats. The man was a legend on the hardwood.
He do but in the "legend" category like Gervin or Dr. J or Frazier where they are talked about in stories not the MJ or Bird or Magic or Lebron "GOAT" convo where they're talked about in highlights and stats and rings
This is dope right here! To hear grown men revert to child like admiration is a beautiful thing. God bless the Bryant family!
So much respect, gave me chills listening to how much Iverson respects the GREATS
rest in peace Kobe I’ll never be able to except it...😫
#GuruBasketballKieroSays Kobe's death is and always will be unexplainable
Kobe was so real man for real people don't understand cuz its so many haters and fake people nowadays but if u is real and a real just basketball fan u would love kobe whether you were with him or against him u would still just love him for him and what he was real talk
Being a lifelong Philly fan I’ve always loved AI. And although Kobe was a Laker us Philly fans like to consider him as one of ours. It was always a good game and a packed stadium when the Lakers and Kobe came to town. Kobe will always be missed.
Rest In Peace Kobe.
But y’all boo’d him and pissed him off in those finals
@@osmanshah5046 we did but I really think he thrived on it and it made him play even better! Kobe knew how it is in Philly and what the fans are like he used to be one of them growing up. Most Philly fans would boo their Own Mother🤣
No denying Kobe's greatness, but for a number of years (while in his prime), I said A.I. was pound-for-pound the best player in the association.
Pound for pound he the best ever
Kobe without a doubt is the most skilled player to ever play - hence he’s “technically” the greatest to ever play
Jordan was just as skilled, more athletic, faster, higher vertical, higher IQ, stronger and more efficient! I have Kobe top 4 tho
@@darrellhardy90 straight fax
@@darrellhardy90 yeah, Kobe always got double team in zone Defense and u still say Mike is most skilled? I understand yall Mike fanboy really want that goat status, but the most skilled is Kobe, if u want argue with me, let's do it
@@fearless5116 yes, Mike was the most skilled. He taught kobe the game. He had all the same moves but Mike didnt go against the grain, he made the game easy for himself ,kobe went against the grain and took tough shots. Jordan made shots easier
Fear less zone was illegal in MJs days, regardless he was always getting diubke and trippled teamed. I kove Kobe, but MJ was better at everything bar long range shooting
I grew up in LA born and raised so I got to Watch pretty much every Kobe game, this was before League Pass so no one understands the way we feel about this man. Kobe IS LA! So when we went up against the Sixers in the Finals I hated AI because I was so much of a Kobe fan, it’s because the dude was his Kryptonite in those years. Luckily we had a squad because that series would’ve been different, the Lakers only lost 1 game in the playoffs that year(NBA Record), and AI handed us that L. Over the years I started to Respect him for everything he did for the culture of Basketball. This man is by far the most influential player to Basketball Culture! If you look around the league right now everybody wear Sleeves and have Tats, AI started that. Like Jack said, let’s give this man his flowers while he’s still here. Respect ✊🏾
Same here. Grew up and saw Kobe since his debut. I feel like I lost a friend/superhero. Still hits me daily
Andy Doufreisn Me too bro, I’ve never felt this way about someone I didn’t know. Can’t even put it into words, Such a Tragedy 😞
Use to watch them laker games on channel 9 then went to FSN then spectrum sports net
Erich Von Manstein It’s still a record bro, they just share the record now 😄
Jabrony Facts! Bro you’re definitely from LA
Love AI. I used to rock his shoes like crazy. Had the white iverson's with the silver shiny fabric on them. Had the same ones in red and black. Had the first iteration for hooping pre 2002. Outgrew them so fast. Dudes so humble. Mad respect to the warrior AI.
It's interesting to hear one of my all time favorite ball players speak on my other favorite all time ball player and that AI wishes he kept up a relationship with Kobe because he could have used that kind of energy around him. The dichotomy also in the story where they're hanging out and AI says "I'm going to the club, where you headed" and Kobe's reply "I'm going to the gym"......if that doesn't show you the starting point of where those two careers eventually took off from...nothing will. AI would and should have been a multiple championship winner with his drive and talent.
To be part of AI's list of greats is a statement how much great those players are... the legendary allen iverson...
It still surprises me how much respect and how close Matt Barnes was with Kobe. Killer respect killers!
Stephen Jackson with that dope Iverson jersey I want one
Always loved the answer, Allen iverson I wanted to be just like him when I played ball. He’s got heart an a lot of passion for the game. 🌹🌹
AI,
MJ... Kobe... LeBron... SHAQ. You cannot get any better than this. I appreciate the real talk of Jack saying your homeboy (Steven A. Smith). It was weird and quiet for a second but that's real. I've got love for these cats. I enjoy the show. They should bring on a regular person to sit in to and ask the random real stuff
We could argue, but Allen Iverson was one if not one of the best point guards all time. Nobody scored more than Iverson.
Kobe (and Gianna) passing away was the first time I had ever cried over someone I had never met. Only time I’ve ever cried before that was when a family member died. But I’ve been such a huge Kobe fan that he DOES feel like family to me. I’ve been following his career since day one. And to this day I still get choked up hearing about him passing away or talking about it. Kobe will always be MY GOAT. Idc what anyone else says. Kobe was the greatest of all time in my eyes. RIP MAMBA ✌🏾🥺💜💛🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🐍🐍🐍🐍 #MambaMentality #GOAT
Man lately I find myself watching this show more and more. Y’all keep it so real at a time like this who could ask for more. It’s dope seeing our icons outside of the game reminiscing. Keep it up fellas ONE LOVE!
Editor cuttin extra fast today lmao
U aint lying. Keep checking the time to see if im accidentally speeding it up lol
Getting that rust off.
I think it’s bc AI be draggin lmao otherwise the episode would be 3 hours long
@@sbshrav fr A.I really thinks before he speaks so the pauses alone probably about 45 minutes of the interview😂
That’s why I don’t like it when they get the deals with the big networks because they start chopping and screwing ( no pun) the footage
🐐s I'm Glad I Witnessed those Battles Live On TV & In Person 🏀🏆🔥
So many players had so much respect for Kobe.The stories they all have about him wow.I wonder if some of them told him the respect they for him while he was living.It seems like Kobe was friends with so many players though.
Bean didn't have a large group of friend just a very small circle of a few real ones.
He made these players feel like he was their friend in various ways.
RIP Mamba.
This is Iverson. Top killer missing Kobe. I can hear the pain in his voice.
Can we all say how much we love Ivo now and not when he passes away. We love you Ivo you had my whole Junior High School trying practice having handle like you. We love you bro
I love this show. Thank you for featuring the great A.I.
Bro why is the camera jumping every 2 seconds, we don't need that, it's disorienting and makes you lose focus
I could listen to these great players talking about Kobe all day...I'm not an obsessed fan but Kobe's work ethics inspires me
Age wise I was caught in the middle. I was old enough to watch kobe and Allen play but not old enough to really appreciate how they played. Became a man towards the end of there careers but still blessed I was able to watch as a kid. RIP Kobe and your beautiful daughter...
If Kobe never got hurt he would have 7 rings.
If the league didnt veto the Chris Paul trade
With a better front office making good decisions and hirings He could have.
I cried 😔
Kobe was unreal, and played it so cool. To me that made him the best.
It’s already been 1 year. This is never gonna sink in 😔 RIP Kobe and Gigi. We love you forever
Damn just to get a peak inside AI's head is a treat..💪
he's like a the Marshawn Lynch of the NBA. Very articulate in a thuggish way
There's nothing thuggish about him. He's a black man sitting down talking.
Thuggish way? Fuck does that mean
I’ve thought about Kobe every single day since he died. I never met him but he was my real life super hero.
THIS THE BEST SHOW PERIOD EVERY EPISODE IS ALWAYS ON POINT AND REAL...
“Cut this arm open its bleeding purple and gold”
-Bean
Guessing “the other guy” he doesn’t like is Stephen A Smith 😂
They had SAS on the show though and it seemed cool
Think he meant Skip
Daniel Hammer no he meant SAS. When he says, “your homeboy” he’s referring to the fact AI is homeboys with SAS
Thought he might be talking about Will Cain
its because of some comments SAS made about him a while back
Big bro Mamba is just such an impactful person that only some are just beginning to realize.
Iverson is my favorite player of all time s/o to my guuuuuuy I am a Sixers fan because of him, I cannot get over Kobe and GiGi passing away RIP Kobe and GiGi Bryant 🙏
you was either a KOBE fan or a IVERSON fan
no in between REALTALK IF U KNO U KNO
IVERSON FANS gimmie a LIKE
Facts, I was AI fan for the longest seeing how he was doing it by himself and defying the odds. But when Kobe got out of the shadow of Shaq and kept working. As a ball player I couldn't do anything but embrace what I was seeing. And I became a certified Kobe guy.
Such facts man!! I was an AI fan and my homies rocked with kobe haha
100% I was a Iverson fan over Kobe, but my respect for Kobe grew in the 2nd half of his career.
I was both lol. born in LA. Lakers is my team. Kobe was our leader. but AI was the ultimate warrior of us as a kid growing up in the 2000's.
Always AI all the way.
Heavy.
Ps Much Gratitude
Never gonna be another player like Kobe. Rip. Ill pray for you, Gianna and the other people who perished in that flight.
To hear A. I., and Michael Jordan give kobe props and respect... Is enough for kobe fan to salute both of those guy's.... Off the court.... ✌️
My favorites are kobe and kd. Ive never seen Jordan or magic or bird play, I didnt see much of AI, I see lebron and steph and those boys but kobe n kd are my favorites. All time 5 and again im not including players ive never seen play, steph at point, kobe, bron, kd, and shaq. Thats my 5. My goat is kobe
I respect that my guy. Only going off who you have seen
dumb
How’d you not see AI play when he was drafted with Bean in 1996? 1st - 13th? Arguably the greatest draft class ever outside of ‘03.
@@TeezyfolKKz ai didnt stay as long as kobe
Kashad Hall I mean he could’ve saw Kobe last 2 rings and not his number 8 days
I've always said that Kobe is the closest thing to Jordan and Jordan is the 🐐. . .RIP🖤🐍💜💛😇🙏🏾💯
Real talk. Nobody tell it right like y'all. Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing y'all. 👊👊
I can only watch quick increments about Kobe cuz it's just heartbreaking what happened to him and the other people in that helicopter. I googled his stats and closed out the page after a few seconds because it's so sad. That's my favorite player ever
Best shooting guards all time
1.Mj
2.Kobe
3.A.I.
Damn this editing giving me motion sickness😅
I remember that Final. RIP Kobe, I guess to much of something great cannot last forever. In the words of one of our modern poets, 50 cents, The Good Die Young,
One of the best that ever pick up a 🏀 …FOR REAL!!!💪🏽✨🏀✌🏽👊🏽
Man looking at that side angle of Stephen Jackson, it’s no lie. He does look like George Floyd (RIP)
I had no idea Captain Jack and Stephen A head beef
Did not Stephen go to this show already???
@@diegoraphael1976 yep they had a falling out shortly after
@@bangaamen501 Do you know the reason or a link to share with us? For a moment, I thought that he was talking about Perkins.
Diego Raphael yeah cause Stephen a smith disagreed with what stack did when that football player quoted hitler and he aired his disagreement on ESPN

Chills in my spine. 💔💔💔
Glad y’all chopped it up I be having shit to do I still ain’t finish watching the full session with AI
Wasn’t SAS on the show?
I think it was skip bayless before max.
Stephen said "not my homeboy" so it should be skip bayless
He said “I like Max. I don’t like your homeboy, the other guy” The other guy is SAS
@@rashadscott5609 This is what I heard.
That's what I was thinking. Stephen a smith was on all the smoke. And now Stephen jackson saying he dont like him is weird. Im guessing something happened
Max was talking about Kobe + AI = Russell Westbrook! AI a legend foreal
Kobe + AI / 2 = Russell
Hbk 007 agreed lol too much turnovers especially in the playoffs. Efficiency dips in his 3% & FG % too often. Hasnt had the coach nor teammate to tell him to “slow the fuck down bro”.
@@hbk0073 Word people don't understand how deadly Ai and Kobe were especially at the midrange
Fuckin real niggas ........really appreciate 🙏 the real ness of these 3
Totally agree with this video's ending!
Man did they clip this together ?!
..Riiiite 🕵️♂️
Ray Jameson i can’t believe this vid at all you can clearly tell the words are cut to fit lol
If Iverson was on better teams he would have just as many rings as kobe or anyone else for that matter.
That team he took to the championship I don't think most could've done that.
A.I and Kobe had nothing but respect for each other, it was competition, never personal...
Unbelievable that we are talking about Kobe in past tense💔💔💔💔💔🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Stephen A always talking about how close he is with Iverson and Iverson just said he likes max more 🤣
No he didn't he said he "fucks with max"
Stephen Jackson talking about Skip Bayless and Iverson talking about Jason Whitlock
Iverson homeboy is stephen a,that's who jackson was referring to.
A.I. and Kobe two of my most favorite players ever no debate
dude that was a legit episode. i enjoy this very much.
