      Everybody hates on Lavar Ball but he truly has to be one of the best dads in the entire world. He built all three of his boys into pro basketball players and does nothing but sing their praises relentlessly. You could even argue that Lonzo and Lamelo were drafted as high as they were (and Liangelo is in the summer league) because he wouldn't shut up about them and they got a ton of press as a result. His wife is also in poor health and he has done so much to help take care of her. He gets press for all the wild things he says but I don't think you can say anything bad about him as a husband and father, at least as far as we know. When you look at it that way, he doesn't seem so crazy after all. He seems like a great guy who's just a bit quirky, and probably on purpose.

    Kobe & Michael are my top 2 fav players of all time. They just have too much in common.
    The same unlimited weapons,
    The same skill sets,
    The same height,
    The similar weight,
    The same mentality,
    The same position,
    The same play style,
    The championships,
    The legendary stories,
    The same coach, staff.
    I appreciate Kobe a bit more over Michael cuz it's so hard and lucky to have a player continue MJ's legacy after mj retires. We basically have a carbon copy version of MJ for another 20 years. That's something we miss so much when we don't have him around any more, then u start to appreciate everything Kobe had given to us.

    Love how much he talked about how important the eccentric phase of any exercise is, it increases the length potential of the muscles being worked and its a great way to bulletproof your joints. It's already interesting how they took out all the concentric aspect of his training, but it makes sense considering a typical basketball athlete is already constantly exploding and accelerating due to the general nature of the sport and practice. This is 100% golden information for anyone who wants to take their strength to another level.

      How do you take out a concentric phase of a muscle system? Especially while doing a leg press? Did they just have everyone push up the platform and then have Kobe step in to lower it? He's basically just changing the tempo of the movement. It's not a new concept. The guy just basically made Jordan and Kobe workout and get stronger so their joints could take the punishment.

      I feel like it’s only been recently that athletes have focused on lengthening, mostly because of Tom Brady.

    What I respect the most about kobe is he tried to mentor the young players. He was respectful of them. Very few nba players have the mamba mentality in todays game. Jayson Tatum is probably the best example.

      @zaxx29 4 года назад +8

      Kobe Bryant is my favorite player ever and it's not even close to anybody else. He has sentimental value to me and my family beyond words. But he should not be in the top 4 or 5 if we're actually looking at it closely. MJ, Magic, and Kareem are all undeniably better and should be ranked above him. Tim Duncan had a better resume overall (depends on if think that Popvich is better than Phil Jackson) and Shaq maybe the most dominant player in the 2000's if not ever. Bill Russell has the most titles even if he did play in a weaker era. I'd say about 7th is where he should be ranked.

    • @JohnDoe-ld7op
      @JohnDoe-ld7op 4 года назад +1

      Because LeBron is the mascot for cheating in NBA 2k, for example in NBA 2k19 in order to unlock the auction house you had to maintain a 30+ lead in the 4th against a Cavs team without LeBron.

    I've bought two of Tim Grover's books; Relentless and Jump Attack I recommend both of these books, both of them have been really helpful to me in many different ways. Jump Attack is like a training guide and it has helped improve my vertical and my athleticism on top of the athleticism I already had prior to the training.
    I hope anyone who is reading this has a great day and stays safe during this pandemic.

What a legend
