I have a ton of respect for kg admitting everyone was hurting in the 2010 finals.
Facts Kobe had broken fingers with arthritis
@@mjalex I’m sure his knees were hurting and he had a bone spur in his foot/ankle. But like he said they were all hurting
Everybody was hurt. Kobe had bone spur and broken fingers
@@mjalex kobe was a soldier
KG a real one. Winners don't make excuses.
2008 lakers were missing 2 starters and all the bos fans didn't care. 2010 kobe won with 2 broken fingers on shooting hands with 2 bad knees.
He also had a bone spur in one of his ankles.
🐐 🐐 🐐 🐐 🐐 s#!+!!!!!
Kobe king of L.A.
Mr81.

Mr.M.V.P
Excuses....do you mention everyone's words injuries
And a shitload of fts for kb in gm 7, screw job.
Lakers got blown out by 30 points in 2008. Doesn’t matter who they were missing. They weren’t beating the Celtics that year
When KG said "you think the Lakers were 100%" is a real champs answer. Winners don't make excuses.
The respect man it’s amazing .. gotta love KGs realness
It’s hard not to get emotional whenever talking about Kobe. 🤦🏾♂️😭
Gets me every damn time I watch something about him. Especially given how emotional the greats are discussing him. 😢
They both started in the 1998 NBA All Star game. They were the two players that led the transition from the 90s to the 2000s NBA. Along with Tim Duncan of course.
i agree also cant forget to mention shaq allen iverson and vince carter as well they led that 2000’s nba transition as well
FACTS! They came in under the old guard.
Allen Iverson?Steve Nash,Dirk Nowitski,Jason Kidd?Chris Webber?Jason Williams aka white chocolate?Vince Carter?Tracy Macgrady?Ray Allen?Damon Stoudamire?
@@incogneto2834 Those players were a part of the transition. Kobe and KG led the transition. They started in the 98 all star game. Not those other players. Their time would come in the 2000s.
@@terrellbaker1660Facts KG third year Kobe second year off the bench for his own team !
Damn I hate being reminded Kobe and his daughter are gone forever. I know I don’t personally know the man but I’ll never forget that feeling when the news came out. RIP Mamba and Mambacita 😢
What about the other victims??
@@Shahiem-sk3npDon't be obtuse. The convo was about Kobe. R.I.P. to the other victims, but this is a sports show. So as he said, R.I.P. Kobe & Gigi.
@@Shahiem-sk3npfuck the other victims. Never saw any of them guys shoot a game winner over 2 defenders
@@melvinhhcp3615 fuk them
@@Shahiem-sk3npalways someone like you in a comment section 🤡
Kobe and KG were ultimate competitors both played the game with all their heart and respected each other. Those Lakers vs Celtics was some great games and series! Rest in paradise Kobe Bryant!!
I just wish the lakers had better wing players
Better point guard better small forward we was domination on the inside but tht nigha Kobe could have won way more rings with an im proved roster only at them 2 spots
I miss the old day basketball
Kg is the first superstar i saw admitting defeat and dont make excuses why they lost
Props to kg
Real shit I fucks with it
Yeah, I remember when he lost to the Lakers in 2003 First Round Playoffs, he sat on the dias by himself stating that he could have done more. KG led his team in: POINTS, REBOUNDS, ASSISTS, BLOCKS, & STEALS! He didn't throw anyone under the bus, he took it on the chin!
I really don't know what more could my 2nd favorite player of all-time could have done!
Was just thinking that
@@remingtonporter1734I just WISH that Kobe had picked up the DAMN phone when KG was calling him in the Summer of 2007!
KG and Kobe on the SAME TEAM???
The League wasn’t ready for that : the two most intense, dedicated players together???
I would’ve watched that film for the Defense ALONE.
That is called respect and honor for a fellow warrior
KG eyes were insane for like 2 minutes lol he still that killer he was on the court
Guys doing all this team up shi today, Imagine Kobe and kg on the same team in their primes
They were so close to doing that too. Before KG became a Celtic, he talks about how he called Kobe's people and didn't hear back
Look at their 1998 and 2001 NBA All Star game highlights. You will see a glimpse of what could have been.
@@blakelewis5204yeah, I remember that
Kg teamed up with Pierce before things and won a championship so with kobe could be more
That was REALLY close to happening back in 2007 before KG went to Boston. He called Kobe, but one didn’t return his call because he was on vacation😂😂😂😂
Why KG looking like he's addressing the City of Gotham 😭😭😭
KG was a real one for his 2010 “what if” answer. That was the last box office finals. All the finals since have been predictable and guys give up once things got real hard. Lebron controlled media really ruined the NBA culture.
Thank you.
💯
huh lmao
Bruh kgs answer when SAS brought up injuries bring the reason they didn't win sums up EVERYTHING!!! He made no excuse. Said both teams were hurting. Recently that's all we do, always talking about who was injured making excuses for players
That was probably my fav answer that I’ve heard up-to-date! I can’t stand the what ifs. Who cares it is what is is!
Stephen a smith a hater for saying that too smh
Huge respect to kg for keeping it real about injuries in the 2010 finals huge respect cuz he's right and in 08 the lakers were down Andrew bynum & trevor ariza and kobe and the lakers never made no excuses unlike some self proclaimed goats chosen ones and kings that we all know props to kg for keeping it a buck
Steven A and KG together is something we need on the everyday basic.
No tf it's not maybe KG
Agreed, hopefully he’ll appear a few more times. We already know SAS will be on KG podcast soon lol
@@Shahiem-sk3np 😂 I feel you
Cause KG gonna keep him honest. He too 💯 for bro
@@Shahiem-sk3np generic youtube hater. complaining on every comment.
No one more REAL than this dude.
Word💯
Always respect for K. This from a LA fan
Kobe had a broken finger on his shooting hand!!2010 was most intense finals i ever saw!!Also boston got lucky 2008 with injured bynum!!
Fakers were blown off the court in gm 6 08
@@leodrosia4369and we won in game 7 in ‘10 come get your get back
@@lavarball1237 thx to a shitload of fts, rigged
@@leodrosia4369 are you serious you guys were up 1st, 2nd, AND 3rd quarter plus playing against an injured kobe I don’t want to hear it 😂
Lakers got favored in game 7 to make it a close game.
But in 08, the Celtics were favored all throughout the series.
When KG speaks, you really feel him. Go look at games played by season by player. KG NEVER sat out. TRUE LEGEND. Salute to KG man. His era and his contribution to basketball lore is special. 💪🙌
best defender NBA has ever seen, you can argue otherwise but you are wrong.
RIP Mamba! and no lie, KG has been on FIRE the past few weeks. The way he is talking the game and life is exactly who I thought he was. Maybe on those other shows with 5 guys sitting on the couches didn't really work for him but glad to see it all unfold like this. Last note, his humbleness is admiring because he didn't show that much while playing haha
“That’s when home court advantage, was really home court advantage” - y’all remember those times?
“Ima dedicate a son to kobe” thats deep KG. Much respect.
You can’t even rap 😢
That's a nice sentiment bad also mad weird. Imagine you being born and your existence was for someone else. No individuality.
@@outphase78it’s not that deep your cornball
I like KG take on the “what if” on that Laker championship. Everyone was injured or going through something. He kept it 💯
"yall win the chip if you all fully healthy?" .... sorry but the most banged up guy in that series was kobe. he had a broken index finger with a giant splint cast on his shooting hand and a knee with zero cartilage that was about to make him play the lowest minutes as a starter of his career the very next season by skipping surgery to try and three peat again. his body was wrecked. so don't give me that crap
Is this factual
Kobe is my goat 🐐!💜💛
💯
Mine too 💶 💯
Mine as well 🐐
Kobe and KG kicked off a small but great era of straight from high school players. From them, to T Mac, to Lebron, to Dwight
KOBE IS THE GREATEST OF ALLLLL FUCKING TIME!!!!
Not even the goat laker
@@leodrosia4369 that’s true. He is The GREATEST OF ALL TIME
Kobe is in a league outside this planet!!!
I could listen to KG talk about paint drying and it'd be entertaining. Thank you for this interview, Stephen A. This is great!
You'll never forget where you were when you heard the passing of Kobe
Facts
I’ll never forget… First thing in the morning at work I got a text from a friend asking me if I heard what happened to Kobe. Baffled by the question I quickly googled him and saw “Kobe Bryant dies in helicopter crash”… Man I isolated myself in my office the entire day and said nothing. I just couldn’t believe it. The only other celebrity I felt that way about was 2Pac.
Stephen sounded like he wanted kg to say they're not 100 percent and the lakers are at near 100 percent, tryna discredit kobe's 5th ring.
He a big hater I don't like his soul
KG gave one of the best Kobe farewell I’ve ever heard. What he said came from his heart; respect.
Almost cried listening to this. I miss you Kobe
GAY
Andrew Bynum was hurt the year when Boston beat the Lakers but no one ever talks about that. Shame on you Stephen A!!!!
Agree. And so was Trevor Ariza
@@Junzstylemadapaka Ariza came 09
@@funhunting2751 wrong, Ariza came in 2007-2008 season with the Lakers, he played only half of the season due to injury, returned playoff and finals but not 100% healthy.
Bynum was super young . Boston would’ve won anyway .
Y’all killing me with the fake Kobe love. When y’all
Mention people yall
Act like Kobe ain’t number 2 to Jordan the blasphemy yall try and say Lebron better or rank him higher than Kobe should be ashamed of yourselves
I wonder why everyone just seems to forget that the lakers was playing without Bynum in that 08 championship but like to bring up the Celtics playing without Perkins. Cause I think the lakers would’ve won in 08 when they were the favourites before the final’s started
Man imagine Kobe threepeating twice holy shit
Not only that Bynum was a menace that year arguably the best center in the league
You can see him think about the memories after he answered the Kobe question…….. I still can’t watch his highlights and I never met him.
Kobe is the 🐐...
The media h8ts on Kobe..
But its Jordan#1 kobe#2 bird#3 magic#4 kareem#5 Shaq#6 Bill#7 West#8 wilt#9 Duncan/Hakeem #10
Garnett may not have been one of the most personal with Kobe but he comes from a different angle than usual testimonies. It’s competitive. That’s refreshing.
Kobe and Pau plus role players had to go against the big 3 of KG, Peirce and Allen... plus Rondo and role players. The next time Kobe had to add Artest and still it was a battle!
On paper that Celtics team should have won 3 chips, but the Mamba wasn't having it. Heck they should have gone to all 3 finals against the Lakers.
I don’t understand why the goat topic (it’s not a debate, there is only 1) doesn’t bring up Kobe more often. It’s always Lebron. Yet when you listen to their peers talk, the majority of them say Kobe was better than Lebron. What better way to be measured than the respect and reverence of your peers? What could the public possibly know that the people who played against them and understand every single small nuance wouldn’t know?
Kobe is the only athete to change my.life to become better everyday and to deal with pressure no disrepected kevin garnett love you too man. ❤❤❤
Kobe above LeFlop!!
In my opinion Stephen a..be fake repoing kobe...he doesn't even think kobe is the greatest laker of all time...and his argument is because he had shaq even though he won 2 without him..but dies t hold that standard to kareem and magic who had each other...and if memory serves me he barely has kobe in his top 10....so where's all that love at...🤔🤔
I like how KG ain't making no excuses for that finals loss they were all soldiers at war only one team will be left standing in the end and that year it was the Lakers
bro just watchin kg hold back tears and get through the segment was so fuckin tough. I started sheddin tears soon as he started talkin about kobe and how they grew in this league n life. KG will forever be a legend and an inspiratin to me. Salute! RIP KB. MAMBA Mentality (8)Days a Week,(24)Hours a Day, Stay hungry for your dreams no matter where youre at in life. It's never to late to pick up the pieces, and build a kingdom, that far outlasts your life.
Kobe wasnt done dreamin, or building his kingdom, but i swear we see it today and forever more . That Man was bigger than basketball, n he knew it.
Had KG went to LA and played with Kobe, they win 3 or 4 rings in a row. See, all Kobe needed was 1 good player to assist him, look what he did with Gasol?
KG be talking that real i love it 🔥 rip mamba 🐍
KG didn’t take the bite on the question of Perkins not been available on game 7.
don't forget Kg and Kobe almost became teammates..Cann you imagine the fire 🔥
I mean it’s great to hear respect for Kobe because it seems only on RUclips you could find the respect because every channel o turned on you’d hear some people in media take shots and jabs about basketball at Kobe.
My favorite power forward of all time
Smart man. Mine too
You can certainly argue it. I hate doing the "what if" games. But if KG was on the Spurs, I say KG has 5 rings too.
@@gifi11 I agree and I don't think Timmy would've had the same success in Minnesota
@@32MattyB I fool with Timmy heavy, but I can't disagree with that statement at all. KG is a better scorer than Timmy. I think KG has the ability to hold more weight of carrying a team than Timmy could.
@@gifi11 preach!
Miss you Kobe, my favorite player & goat.
1997 allnstar game Kobe to KG, for Life!!!
lol so my team are the Lakers and I remember always on my 2k trading Shaq away so that I could pair up Kobe and KG. Loved the both of them. there will never be another like em ❤
I wish KG chose the Lakers instead of Boston.
@@melvinhhcp3615KG Originally Wanted To Go To The Lakers In 2007 But Kobe Didn't Answer The Phone When KG Called.
I like what Kg said about injures from both sides in 2010,that is the truth! No excuses! Respect! 🔝
Can we bounce Shannon Sharpe and get KG to take over on ESPN? Dayamn
As a Lakers fan, I have spent a lifetime hating on KD. Listening to this has made me respect him more than I can ever fully convey. He understood Kobe in a way very few of us ever could.
The way they say they miss Kobe all the time and they’ll love him forever just get me so emotional
Respects to kg humble champ...
KG a dawg man
Hell yeah you tellem KG. Noone was healthy and noone can take that away from Kobe. Kobe won a championship 🏆 with a broken freaken finger in 2010.
I'll never forget the interview kg did with the late great John Thompson when he got emotional and was saying how they broke the team up after a Western Conference Finals and basically getting rid of everybody including flip trying to make kg go into rebuild mode that's the real reason he got traded to Boston he never wanted to leave but he had no choice
Kobe & Lebron will be my forever fav players.
The real what-if that peope forget is the 2009 Celtics who had the juice of being defending champs and running through the league that year before KG injured his knee. The Celtics were up 3-2 but ultimately lost to the Magic in 7 in conference semis.
Much respect saying both teams were hurt. The Lakers didnt have Ariza or bynum in 08, but boston won. It sucks when youre missing key guys, but it is what it is
Rip baby goat 🐐 kobe
Rip to the true goat kobe bean
I really think his Mamba mentality made him great but also cut his carer short. He never let his body completely heal after injuries because he always wanted to play.
Great finals Kevin!!! Always remembered 2008 to 2010, Lakers vs Boston duels, greeting bro
Kg & Kobe would've been unstoppable 💯
Lebron supposedly makes his teamates better kobe made the league better
2:53 we get it SA- u miss him- but u talkn all over KG
K. Garnett always keeping it real!!!
Kobe, kg were my favorite basketball players growing. Both so intense on court
I like y’all chemistry y’all need to work together
Kobe is a warrior,he always showed up.💪
That's love, to name a son after kobe. KG has love for kob.
Imma have a son some day dedicated to kobe I hope he make that happens that's tuff
That surprised tf outta me
Kg and kobe my favorite players from that generation they were too motivated and dedicated
That 2010 game 7 was one of the best ever
Yoooo, can you imagine the intensity of the defense... like you take the ball out, and you got Mamba and KG; staring you down... and you realize YOU AIN'T GETTIN SH!#
Doc is one of the most overrated coaches of all time
Dedicate a son? KG🤦🏾♂️
My biggest issue with today’s Fans and NBA Players is that they act like Basketball is “Just Offense”. They are stupid enough to say that all while say people like Lebron are the best “2 way and/or All Around” player. Lebron plays zero defense and if you put the top 30 players in today’s NBA I guarantee only 5 are great Defenders by the rest are slightly below average.
Kg different man. He didnt give any excuses on why they lost in 2010. If the celtics were hurt, the lakers were hurt also. That was aweome of kg to say.
Thanks KG for schooling these biased folk. The narrative that Cs never lost as a complete team but lakers didn’t have Bynum in 08 and literally got Pau mid season.
In 10, Bean had bad knees and broken index finger on his shooting hand. Imagine a stacked Cs team crying about poor health going against Kobe!
Dang,I miss Koke Bryant!Kevin Garnett was the Ray Lewis of the NBA!!!!
Kobe & KG were my fave 2 players I wanted them as a tandem, can you imagine him instead of pau , love pau but KG was different best PF all time I count Timmy as a center since more than half his career he played center
Pretty much every Lakers fan wanted KG teaming up with KB
Tim was definitely a PF, but I understand whatchu saying about KG.
Would of been a dynamic duo

U mean the kobe celebration?? Dnt think the funeral was broadcast!!! But u should check it out!!!
@@lakersn1nation459I don’t look at like a celebration….But yeah…
I love KD for not making no excuses and understanding that everybody was dealing with something. I love him for that.
I can watch KG talk all day
I love seeing Stephen A Smith get his flowers and seeing NBA players invite him on the show to be himself and not the sports analyst. I’ve learned a lot about STEPHEN A this year

Kobe took his 1star Lakers team 3 finals and 2peat Kobe 1star beat super team Celtics 3stars GarnettPierceAllen with 4 5th player Portland star Rasheed and upcoming Rondo their 4 5th player as good as Kobes 2 3rd player Gasol Fisher only as good as Rasheed and Rondo… Lebron with Wade and Bosh beat by a 1star team Mavs Dirk 🤣 Lebron with AD and allstar DLo swept by a 1star Jokic Nuggets 😂 all 3final this mofo had 3stars in his team… Kobe carried Shaq hackshaq fat injured to 3peat at age 20-23. Not even MJ took his own 1star team to a single finals swept twice by Bird and beat by Isiah 7years before winning with Pippen in all his finals appearance. Kobe as teen allstar outscored the whole gorwon assmen of NBA including Shaq until his rival Utah Jazz coach in allstar benched him 2nd half of allstar Karl crying Kobe was outscoring the allstars as a teen! Youngest allstar and scored 63 in 5on5 as an 8yr old kid! Kobe is #1GOAT!
I’ll always remember a glimpse of what could’ve have been with Kobe and Garnett when they played their 1st All Star Game together and Garnett threw that lob up to Kobe from what was almost the free throw line and Kobe flying through the air with a two handed dunk 🔥
I wanna say to all the players that played with kobe. You guys are not accounting for your greatness in the game. I say Kobe is the GOAT (not only bc of his left) because of the level of competition. Give me KG or Timmy over any PF in history. Give me prime Shaq. There wasn't just a Clyde and Dominique. VC, TMAC, PAUL PIERCE, B ROY, DWADE, LBJ, STEVE FRANCIS , BD, Rasheed, j kidd, and more. Cmon man. That era blew the game open with skill.
I need kobe's peers to admit that none of them are better than the players in the 80s and 90s, then I will make Joradn my GOAT again😉
Kobe is the 🐐. Period
Kobe vs MJ Debate:
MJ- I have 10 scoring titles
Kobe- I have more points than you
MJ-Hand checking was hard to play against
Kobe- the zone was harder and I still dominated
MJ- Me and pipp 3peated twice, what about you and shaq?
Kobe- At least I proved I could win without shaq, how many did you win without Scottie?
MJ- I’m arguably a better shooter than you
Kobe- it’s arguable but I would never score 5 points in a 3pt contest
MJ- I had to match up against Clyde, Reggie and hornacek every night
Kobe- I had to face iverson, mcgrady, Wade… not to mention bron Melo And kd, your List is laughable
MJ- you only have 1 mvp
Kobe- I’d have 10 if I came in 84
MJ- I won more rings than you in a shorter span
Kobe “I played better competition, my road was tougher and I didn’t quit when Phil or shaq left. I went back to the drawing board and put in work. You quit because you didn’t want to repeat the grind. I scored 55points on you. you was scared to even guard me. I’ll always be better than you”🤷♂
MJ - I beat Magic, Barkley and Stockton in 3 different Finals
Kobe - I beat Pierce, Rondo, Garnett and Ray Allen in their Primes in THE SAME Finals …..
MJ - ..........
So sick of hearing Perkins missed game 7 in 2010. Lakers smoked Boston in game 6 WITH Perkins.
Lakers didn't have Bynum (All Star) and Trevor Ariza in 2008. They had two starters out and lost in 6. Boston had KG, Peirce, Allen, Rondo in 2010. Quit crying about losing their 5th best player.
At the end of the day Celtics deserved the win in 2008 and Lakers deserved to win in 2010.
