He dropped 40 and had a 25 point win and was still in a zone. He wasn’t grumpy, he was determined to win and not bother with any questions until he has that Finals MVP trophy . That’s why he will forever be the 🐐. Rest easy Bean🖤
The fact that it took for him to mention his kids to actually smile. Shows how much he loved his princesses. Man I hate you gone Kobe. I still can't believe it. Rest up Kobe 🙏🏾😔💔
Words can’t describe the impact he made on the world. The legend of Kobe will forever be respected: Rest In Peace to everyone to died in the crash. A terrible day😔
Yup now it's all scripted and everyone wants to be friends and troll on social media. We living in a soy boy culture. I just seen NBA players rocking man purses lol it's a fucken joke now
@@ZacMac21 nah fam who are these "people"? If you were a real one you could see in 2009 the NBA was destined to make it more about making money instead of letting players play real physical basketball. Nba is soft now I stopped watching it and you should too
15Megaplayboy Kobe was 30 years old there, 10 or more years ago! He young there! The lakers hasn’t won a title since 2010! “What’s taking so long since this championship drought is going to continue! The lakers got swept in the first round of the playoffs vs spurs since 2013 with Dwight Howard. Dwight Howard is back with revenge and redemption today. He needed that ring since 2009. Since Dwight said that ‘he be waiting for 10 years to get his first championship ring in his life depending on LeBron James and Anthony Davis.’” He didn’t know them last decade until 2019. That’s how that happen. Listen up, the Lakers needs to level up in the playoffs until they need to stop this championship drought. 10 year drought is over for now. I’m a true Los Angeles Lakers fan as of 2012-13 season. This is going to be my first time ever to watch the playoffs since 2013 looking at Dwight, how embarrassing is that for a Kobe Bryant Achilles’ tendon rupture? Forget the Kobe and Dwight beef, let’s focus on the next step. Number 1: Do not let that drought make you. Do not let that happen to Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant. I have a dream that the lakers are going to win the finals over Celtics or is it the Milwaukee bucks!? And the bottom line: The Lakers will always be the best California team in the history of this national basketball association league, or you don’t know shit about Kobe and Dwight for y’all kids over 5 and 12 years old. Gtfo! I’m 21 who knows everything what happens in the past of Kobe’s constant injuries in his last years of his basketball career: Ruptured Achilles’ tendon: 2013 vs Warriors. Left knee injury: December 2013 vs grizzlies. And right shoulder injury: January 2015 vs Pelicans. The best I can ever see Kobe play: April 3, 2016 vs jazz. He dropped 60 points when I was 18. #imlegalbitches. When the emotion started in the bacc of my Thicc heart; “Mamba out”. - Kobe Bryant, 04-13-2016. Mamba day. 🙏🏼 for Kobe’s 2020 Naismith memorial basketball hall of fame achievement. He passed Michael Jordan’s points. No. 3 all time in career nba scoring list. Look! 33,643 career nba points! Good at number 3. Let me know in the comments below, LeBron James passed Kobe!? Just recently!? 😩😩😩😫😫🙄🙄😳😳
His work ethic was insane he just acted like he didnt even win. This reminds me of when he quoted one of his teachers saying "rest in the end not the middle"
There will never be another Kobe. Not Michael, LeBron or whom ever your favorite player is. There will never be another player or competitor like himself.
Don't know why this is on my recommended video but can't help but watch it. This video is exactly why Kobe is the best and why he is loved by fans. Kobe shows not only his competitiveness but also his respect to his opponent. He wants it so badly that he didn't want to give the Magic any chance so he still looks so serious. Unlike some of the players today, even if he was guarded by a rookie, he still pays respect to him even tho at the same time wanting to destroy him.
*This man is LEGENDARY even with an impressive win he still isnt pleased nor happy believes in winning the right way not no half ass way* *Now I get why certain NBA superstars still call Kobe for advice on a daily basis*
Kobe was a true professional. My goodness that poise. Players today don’t conduct themselves like this anymore.. hell not even coaches do. That’s how much this game has changed. I miss that level of professionalism in the game.
Kobe needed to keep focus,he remember how the Finals went by without a blink of a eye the year before and how the Celtics were playing "We are the Champions" in Boston two seasons ago.
Grumpy??!!! This man was focused and locked in. He said he wants it so bad so he shows his teammates that keeping that mentality let's them not sleep on Orlando
okay first off, Dallas just ouplayed the Lakers. Kobe was probably the ONLY player who was actually scoring and making an impact in the Dallas series. however, if you are the only player being effective, obviously the defense is going to swarm you and your percentage goes rock bottom (gasol was playing like absolute shit - making even Phil of all people to hit him and yell at him) as for celtics, kobe was a monster for games 1 - 5 but he was dead tired and just didn't perform well in game 7
I forgot how much Kobe dominated the league. Captured all the attention, all the time. LeBron has it too, but Kobe striked fear. He was an opponents nightmare
"The best thing we can do is to forget about it and move on"
Fax
Legendary! 🐐
😢
Now we can't
Different breed.
Kobe ain’t grumpy that man focused and locked in that’s why they won that year. Y’all tweakin 😴
Rashaad Lewis kobes always been like that. He was locked in to win but people say he’s pissed lol!
And the following year pimp shit Kobe is soooooooo underrated it's not even funny. Gotta respect his game.
Kobrick is trash
Troll ass nigga
Rashaad Lewis shitty finals
Kobe has great speaking skills, controls the conversation, perfect pitch, straight to the point.
Indeed, he s a bright dude
He even speaks Spanish.
Kinda like how Russell westbrook speaks after a game huh.
He’s just very intelligent
Love & Success Follows Me he knows 3 languages . Dudes a gem
bruh hard to believe this was a decade ago, time really goes by fast man
Smokey ikr
Facts I was 19 smh
I was 8 telling my bro to change the channel🤣🤣
I was 23yrs old... crazy how time is
Seriously it has fuck I’m old 😂

I couldn't understand what he was saying. All I heard was "baaaaaaa baaaaa" 🐐🐐
John Asante I don’t understand 🐐 talk either #mambamentality
BAAAAAA
CHAMPIONS MENTALITY
I miss u so much Kobe life won't be the same without you black mamba.
Marco Carrillo I feel this
did your predict the future dude?
This didn’t age well at all
Yo what the
Marco Carrillo Wow
The fact that it took for him to mention his kids to actually smile. Shows how much he loved his princesses. Man I hate you gone Kobe. I still can't believe it. Rest up Kobe 🙏🏾😔💔
Bro they beat them by 25 and he still wasn't satisfied with the game
This is why I love kobe more than lebron
Iron guts Kobe assassin Bryant
Getting beat by 39 points in game 6 against the Celtics in the Finals will do that to you. He was on a mission all season this year
+Tony Montana. Now that’s a real justification right there!
Who cares who u love
Who cares
First time he smiled in a week, was when he mentioned his kids 💔
😔
Words can’t describe the impact he made on the world. The legend of Kobe will forever be respected: Rest In Peace to everyone to died in the crash. A terrible day😔
Being locked in and focused doesn't mean hes grumpy or mad lol Look how Kobe responds to each question intellectually. MAMBA MENTALITY!
@Mac 26.2 ok 👍
no next questions
This is when basketball was pure

I love Kobe. Past 2 days have been hard man.
Kobe the 🐐 25 point win, 40 points..forget about it and move on🐍🐍🐍🐍
Sept. 28, 2020 and I'm still watching this.
RIP my childhood hero. #KB24
Still watch this .
His answer on a rookie Courtney Lee was class personified
Not Grumpy. Just a dedicated person - LEGENDS NEVER DIE
Dude used to wear a suit to and from the game. The last real “professional”.
today's players wearing "like fashionistas" but dress garbage.
Bacardi M3 Damian Lillard actually following suit lol.
They were forced to
They were forced. Guess you never saw Kobe in all white mink in the shaq era
Love you Kobe, the best to ever do it in my opinion. KB24 for life.
Fucking miss Kobe, a god damn killer, even in interviews.
This is why Kobe is my number 2 favorite player of all time
Fine Supplements Jordan 1 I guess
Hi Kobe....... Silence. . . . .
Ultra focus, crazy
holy shit this was 2009 lol
When life made more sense, and basketball was amazing to watch.
ohhh yeahhh when people didn’t care how many shots u took as long as u had at least 25
Dave T Kobe literally has the most misses of all time he’s had 12/35 nights before

33,643 career nba points!
Good at number 3.
Let me know in the comments below, LeBron James passed Kobe!? Just recently!? 😩😩😩😫😫🙄🙄😳😳
Kobe is not grumpy. He’s just serious about his love for basketball 🏀
"We haven't found anything"
Kobe probably was mad, that he couldn't meet the celtics in this particular finals.
Honestly I’m glad he redeem himself the next year 💯😭🙏🏼
So Kobe won back to back 09-10
Yep and some how no one remembers it
What kind of side kick averages 29 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and almost 2 steals on 47% shooting throughout the playoffs?
Brandon Reed My thoughts exactly
Michael Jordan lol
Brandon Reed I honestly don’t know 😭 to me it sounds like if he averaged either the same amount of rebounds as Shaq. Kobe would’ve been finals mvp
30 and 15 on 56%
Right??? These haters are stupid shaq was fortunate too have Kobe
RIP Kobe Bryant in 2020
Who here in 2020 🤕😭
This is how a press conference is done by a Payed athlete . Not done well at all by Russell westbrook. Straight joke
Payed?? 😂😂
Trying to drop knowledge but can’t spell.

R.I.P. Kobe Bryant bka Mamba. One of the Greatest to Play the Game!!!
REST IN PEACE TO THIS LEGEND
There was never a better time to show that chart at 1:50 lol. You could tell that those 7 years of not having a ring was getting to him
Rest In Peace to the LEGEND
There will never be another Kobe. Not Michael, LeBron or whom ever your favorite player is. There will never be another player or competitor like himself.
Amen
Nobody:
Like literally nobody at all:
RUclips Wanna see a old Kobe Bryant interview from 9 years ago?

He was laser focused. 💔💔💔

Get real......racist kid. Mr. Bryant is lightyears smarter than most of the world.....

*Now I get why certain NBA superstars still call Kobe for advice on a daily basis*
I miss you goat
Soon as the reporter said "thank you KOBE" he didn't waste anytime leaving 😂. I Would hate to go to practice with a mad Kobe.
Kobe was a true professional. My goodness that poise. Players today don’t conduct themselves like this anymore.. hell not even coaches do. That’s how much this game has changed. I miss that level of professionalism in the game.
Sad part it 10 years later he died😢 😭 I miss you KOBE!!!
What’s with RUclips the last couple months with these recommendations? 😂
Kobe's so focused on championship. That's the kind of player i want
Class at the podium. Now all we have are clowns on the podium.
Facts, but take Dame outta that list; Lillard has class
Legendary 🙏
RIP Kobe
The closest year we got to seeing Kobe vs Lebron in the Finals
I think they would’ve smoked the Cavs
Yea but Hedo Turkoglu ended up smoking LeBron lol
Also in 2011, at that time Kobe was gonna three peat again... nobody saw the Mavs doin what they did🤦🏾😂 hats off to them still
Kb24 would have eaten lequeen
Rest in peace god.
RIP KOBE
Dudes got a straight killer, winning mentality
"Yeah I feel outstanding😑"
Rest in paradise Kobe Bryant
👇🏼Like for Kobe Bryant
Rest in Paradise Mamba
Man on a mission
When I saw this interview I knew the series was over
me too lmmfao they had no chance
And Russel Westbrook can't answer a single question in the first round 😑
Couldnt answer one in 3 years
He doesnt even LOOK like a human, he has has some animal type traits as weird as it may sound
Like what exactly??
+Zombie his eyes in particular . you can see it especially when you see him live how intense his eyes look. not very human-like
It's the mamba mentality. That killer instinct of his is so strong. Unlike LeBron who passes in clutch situations.
stfu
Armando Kozomara He's more human than you I bet...
it really dont get more locked in than this mamba forever
This is why Kobe is top 5 all-time.
They don’t make em like this no more 🐐
2019 still watching
THE GREATEST TO EVER LACE THEM Up!!!!!!
Miss him dearly. Will always be my 🐐
I love how he smiled for only the women. And was stoic asf with the men
This energy is wild. And they were up
Thank you Kobe for the memories... A fucking beast ...
Miss when the game had greats and zero propaganda.
Kobe G.O.A.T Bryant
Damn he's gone😣 but his competitiveness😡 definitely won't be forgotten, atleast by me it won't be
THE GREATEST !!!
Mamba mamba ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
"My kids call me Grumpy from the seven dwarfs"
LOL... Kobe was so dedicated to winning the championship... I love him!!!
He dead
1:46 “I just want it so bad, that’s all, just want it really bad” .. this the heart you can’t coach. Not every player has it.
