@@hardwoodthought1213Yes. He only respected those who were willing to commit as much as he was, or at the very least *try* to. It's also the reason he "never passes" even though he has the most assists for his position.
@@lordsafro Why would dudes he get paid 10x less and get 100x less recognition work as hard as Kobe? BYW, Kobe himself admitted his late career struggles (where LA had their worst period in their history) came as a result of said work ethic. His constant injuries were a result of needing to train 12 hours a day, just to achieve less than at least 7 other players all time. Also, he does not. James Harden has more assists.
He was like Ronaldinho is in football: even his rivals respected him, loved him and cared for him. He transcended world wide sports. I'm sure everyone in all sports and the "civilians" miss him very much. 😢❤💪🏿
Kobe Bryant’s legacy is a testament to his unparalleled dedication, skill, and impact on the game of basketball. His influence transcends mere statistics and accolades, reaching into the hearts of fans and players alike. • Advanced Statistics and Efficiency: While it’s true that Kobe may not top the charts in advanced metrics, his game was about more than numbers. His ability to take over games, especially in clutch moments, is something that stats can’t fully capture. • Career Accolades: Kobe’s resume is impressive, with five NBA championships, two Finals MVPs, and an MVP award. His place among the greats like LeBron James and Tim Duncan is well-deserved, even if it’s a topic of debate. • Pure Ability and Killer Instinct: Kobe’s skill set and mentality were second to none. His footwork, shooting, and defensive prowess made him a complete player. The respect he garnered from peers and legends speaks volumes about his place in the game’s history. His leadership during the 2008 Olympics and his role as the go-to player in crucial moments highlight his unique impact. • Influence on Young Stars: Kobe’s work ethic and approach to the game have inspired a new generation of players. Studying his game offers invaluable lessons in scoring, defense, and the mental aspects of basketball. Kobe’s passing still feels surreal, and his absence is deeply felt in the basketball community. The emotional tributes, like the one involving Bill Russell, remind us of the profound impact he had on and off the court. Rest in peace, Kobe Bean Bryant and Bill Russell. Your legacies will forever be cherished. 🕊🐐
You can tell how much of a leader he became in his older years, really trying to encourage and improve his teamates, kind of letting go of his scoring impact and trying to impact the people around him.
Wil always be my GOAT. Idc how much they try to downplay him I watched him live multiple times on TV and in person, nobody ever made me fall in love with basketball like Kobe did glad I was there to witness it all.
I couldn't even explain to the people around me at the time how devastated I was when Kobe and his daughter had passed, they looked at me like I was insane. If you grew up with him then you knew I guess 😢
Still can’t believe he’s gone of all the bad folks in the world Kobe is gone , why I don’t get it he did everything right and it’s so many doing wrong that are still here being a menace to society breaking in our cars houses shooting just yuck smh I cried for 4 days straight when he passed ❤️❤️🙏🏽💋🏀 r.i.p Kobe and Gigi
That Bill Russell moment at the end got me in tears. RIP MAMBA and Mambacita

I went from smiling and reminiscing to tearing up near the end seeing the fam and Bill
The way he smiled after getting the ultimate compliment from Bill Russel.... Real recognize real
He's a hell of a teammate once you gained his respect
So what, 10 teammates his whole career gained his respect?
Just like one of MJ’s teammates said in the last dance.
