eduar ed bro. First of all, is his opinion just like people LeBron the GOAT when that’s false, is MJ. Second, for me this post game interview is a top 5 ever in basketball, why? Because of the situation he was, how calm and focus he was and didn’t give a damn about been up 2-0, he wanted the job DONE! Third, tell me a player with this mentality in the modern era. Bye
I'm goin to miss kobe he was a bad man alot of young people that never get to see him play in his prime please go back and just look at all his old highlights and games please regular season or playoffs he the greatest in my book
Kobe is hungry for that 4th title (1st without Shaq) He may deny it, but he knows he wants to win a title without Shaq so he can silence the critics and I hope he does you may not like him but you have to respect his talents Kobe will go down as one of the greatest to ever play the game.
Kobe: What's there to be happy about? Reporter: You're up 2-0... Kobe:Job's not finished... Job finish?? I don't think so... Hahahahaha... Gotta love Kobe... He is about business...
6:47 is another great moment in this interview. Not only can you see Kobe's game-face during this interview, he exudes that winning/mamba mentality, energy. When the interviewer brings up how he hasn't seen him smile... ... They really don't make them, like they used to. Rest in peace, Legend Mamba 💜💛.
Howard has no rings? why? Is he playing the BEST he can play? Does he have the same DESIRE to get that ring? Right now it doesn't seem like it... Kobe may seem like a jerk right now.. but that shows the determination. It shows how bad he wants to win. He's not being a baby.. he's in the NBA cause it's his passion. TO WIN. There's videos on youtube with Dwight "impersonating" Van Gundy. havin fun, joking around... his focus should be these games and what he and his team can do to get the victory!
what do you mean by arrogant? that word is often misused ..and I think what you meant to say was he is confident. He is extremeley focused and if you ever watched basketball back then you would know that great players like michael jordan and larry bird had that same attitude and thats why they are NBA legends..if the younger nba players could adopt this attitude then NBA would be back to being as competitve and entertaining as it was bck then.
I would so hate having to answer these same lame/stupid questions every single game. Gee kobe "whats it going to take to win?" Uhhhhhh, scoring more points than them.
He just wants it really bad lol He wants to shut up all the critics on how he cant win w/o shaq. But i agree he needs to have a lil cheer. HEs just amazing.
And he did. Wins 2 without him going back to back. Achieving 5 rings. 3rd all time scoring passing Jordan. And ends up being one of the greatest NBA players ever. And also being one of the greatest fathers ever. His daughter GiGi ends up following in his footsteps but cannot leave without him. RiP to the GOAT.
i just realised something...this is kobe's 6th finals appearance all in this decade. Now i dono about you but if kobe had won all his finals appearances..that wud mean 5 rings with a 6th on the way. Now who else has 6 rings..no.23. Im sure the lebron kobe comparisons wud mean nothing if he had 5 rings right now. asdadasd
its so funny to read some of the comments on here. last yr finals every one was critcizing kobe for his carefree attitude and lack of effort and now that his got all this energy and determination this final, some of you are now calling him a cry baby. wtf lol
damn bass finally a person who said exactly what ive been trying to say all along...they say lakers were soft...kinda but the celtics were a tough team Man! and that kobe choked..shit i say everone else didnt step up so all the blame got placed on Kobe. kinda hard to play 1 on 5 and expect to win it all.
disrespectful to the fans? by this time all the LA fans are out partying and celebrating! kobe was talking to media members that ask the same cliche open-ended questions and after so many years in the league it's tiring. he just got done playing his ass off for a few hours. any clue how tired these players really are after a game? they ice for hours afterwards in a hotel room (when on the road). it's not fun. neither is answering lame questions lol.
WERE ABOUT TO KICK IT UP! YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!! WERE CLOSE YOU KNOW WHAT IM SAYIN?! THIS IS THE FINALS!! WERE READY TO GO !! he didn't even smile one f*ckin time he gonna make it 4 - 0 :P
is it jus me or is dis the most active adam morrison has been on da bench since he's been in LA? is like a switch jus turned on in his head and he realized oh shit im bout to win a championship instead of bein on a sub par charlotte team where i cudda been at home watchin da game
LOLS rapstorfan get used to lakers dominance. if we pull this out .... your gonna cryin for a long time. oh by the way shaq couldnt win one by himself either and neither could jordan. a new player for cavs wont help with Bynum in rythym. hes gonna be the next dominant center buddy, sorry for the info
Wow... I stopped watching the NBA about 3 years ago. Watching the uneven play of the Magic last game, I see why. They look as bad as the Cavs v Spurs Will someone PLEASE name me the championship series that was this WEIRD LOOKING between 1983-2000? Thought so. I will "try" to watch the NBA for the first 30 game next season. If it looks all weird and sucky like this, I'll probably turn it off for another three years. NBA, PLEASE go to college first. Play the game the "right way". -Larry Brown
Dwight and his team are also tired and they are down 2-0 but they are not sitting at press conferences like someone killed their dog. Kobe 's just a cry baby.
Look , I told you I think he is a great player but his attitude on and off the court is just childish. Jordan did his shit talking on the court and he kept it there. I have watched this game from the days of magic and bird, and I've seen it go sour. i think that Dwight Howard's gives a good example of how you should talk to the press or anyone else for that matter. And last but not least: you shouldn't be discussing class anyway because judging from your comments you have none. peace
Big Yawn... (replies). They've played 2 games (but I'm the idiot). Listen, this 21st century brand of basketball IS NOT exciting to me. You like that shit? then watch it! I don't like it. Who's a Kobe Hater? Dwight Howard can't play with his back to the basket. Shit looked like Kwame "Mad Cow Disease" Brown. Maad apple pie turnovers (boring). Go develop in college, maybe I'll watch.
I miss him so much😭😭
Miss what? He stopped playing. Showed up on social media every now and then??
I miss him so much too 😢
Easily the greatest post game interview ever! Mamba
@eduar ed ?? I think "little kids coming here" to see what you say and think would be a horrible thing.
@eduar ed I'm sorry, do we know each other? Butttt again.. Kids: Don't listen to this dude, hating for no good reason bc I liked Kobe's interview
eduar ed bro. First of all, is his opinion just like people LeBron the GOAT when that’s false, is MJ. Second, for me this post game interview is a top 5 ever in basketball, why?

This and Iversons practice one 😅
I'm goin to miss kobe he was a bad man alot of young people that never get to see him play in his prime please go back and just look at all his old highlights and games please regular season or playoffs he the greatest in my book
My favourite Kobe moment. "whats there to be happy about? jobs not finished, job finished? i dont think so" 😭😭😭
I had to come back to this again after hearing Lebron say “it’s just basketball”
I miss old ESPNNEWS :(
We had it so good
Kobe is hungry for that 4th title (1st without Shaq) He may deny it, but he knows he wants to win a title without Shaq so he can silence the critics and I hope he does you may not like him but you have to respect his talents Kobe will go down as one of the greatest to ever play the game.
Almost a decade later but this is right on point lol
Man, I didn't become a Laker fan until 2012 but it must've felt so good for you to watch the 2009 and 2010 title runs
You're speaking facts brotha
I’m jealous you got to see this man in his prime
An 11 year old comment...I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before
They called 29 and 8 from bean an off night this mans attention to detail and dedication to the game was unmatched rest in peace mamba
Kobe: What's there to be happy about?
Reporter: You're up 2-0...
Kobe:Job's not finished... Job finish?? I don't think so...
Hahahahaha... Gotta love Kobe... He is about business...
timestamp?
@@shaydenw18954:30
He dgaf about coming for shortage. He wanna come out swinging.
thats a cold blooded killer right there

Mamba mentality
I'm looking at these playoffs and seeing the mamba mentality it still breaks my heart that he's not here and Gigi I miss his smart words truly a GOAT
6:47 is another great moment in this interview. Not only can you see Kobe's game-face during this interview, he exudes that winning/mamba mentality, energy. When the interviewer brings up how he hasn't seen him smile...
... They really don't make them, like they used to. Rest in peace, Legend Mamba 💜💛.
The media is smiling and he's not, Kobe means business!!!
Watching this because Lebron and the Lakers just won the WCF in the bubble. Man I miss Kobe in the Finals. And it's Sept. 2020
The interview at 4:28 really showed what mamba mentality is. Love you Kobe!
CLASSIC
An absolute Warrior true winner always executing and striving to be better
4:22.. i love kobe here, hes not a self proclaimed like lebron.. kobe respect his opponent..
4:20 is what everybody is here for,RIP Kobe
How did Kobe not laugh while looking at the guy who asked the second to last question? Jesus.
lol more recent comment
Stay curious. RIP Kobe
Still here in 2024 💜💛 Mamba Forever ♾
Legendary Moment
"Job's Not Finished"
damn kobe. We miss you so much. i bet you would agree to trade kuzma next season if you were still alive 😔
Watching this after bron didn’t celebrate the win against the nuggets. Kobe’s a straight up assasin
Bi lingual from overseas Kobe’s great man
Howard has no rings? why? Is he playing the BEST he can play? Does he have the same DESIRE to get that ring? Right now it doesn't seem like it...
Kobe may seem like a jerk right now.. but that shows the determination. It shows how bad he wants to win. He's not being a baby.. he's in the NBA cause it's his passion. TO WIN.
There's videos on youtube with Dwight "impersonating" Van Gundy. havin fun, joking around... his focus should be these games and what he and his team can do to get the victory!
Cinthya Cardoza crazy how the NBA has changed since your comment 9 years ago lol
And now Dwights about to win a ring on his second time with the Lakers
@@mambaforever24. ong
Two games away
These 11 year old comments are so interesting...spot on lol
DUDDDEE back when Chone Figgins was on the Angels... Good times man
Anyone who hustles and competes in anything knows to not rest or be happy about having an advantage
This will always be my favorite interview from Kobe. That mamba mentality will never die!💛💜
such a pro also notice how he is not dressed like a teenager or a young man he is dressed like a grown man very professional.
He was right though, the lakers did lose game 3. Which is exactly why you never celebrate early
what do you mean by arrogant? that word is often misused ..and I think what you meant to say was he is confident. He is extremeley focused and if you ever watched basketball back then you would know that great players like michael jordan and larry bird had that same attitude and thats why they are NBA legends..if the younger nba players could adopt this attitude then NBA would be back to being as competitve and entertaining as it was bck then.
amazing mindset
Other players say it. Kobe lived it. That's the difference
I would so hate having to answer these same lame/stupid questions every single game.
Gee kobe "whats it going to take to win?" Uhhhhhh, scoring more points than them.
The moment u came for 4:25
nah we came for it all
love seeing the 09 baseball stats on the side :)
whatever it takes to get a ring
He just wants it really bad lol He wants to shut up all the critics on how he cant win w/o shaq. But i agree he needs to have a lil cheer. HEs just amazing.
And he did. Wins 2 without him going back to back. Achieving 5 rings. 3rd all time scoring passing Jordan. And ends up being one of the greatest NBA players ever. And also being one of the greatest fathers ever. His daughter GiGi ends up following in his footsteps but cannot leave without him. RiP to the GOAT.
If the warriors applied that being up 3-1 in 2016 they probably would have won the job wasnt finished
Take notes Lakers. You should feel the exact same way up 2-0 or down 0-2. The job is never finished
And today we heard it again, from Kyrie, "Job's not finished"
FEAR L.A. FEAR L.A.
LAKERS CHAMPS 09
This is that “I have to at the very least match Shaq with rings” type Kobe. Scary mode.
Legend
i just realised something...this is kobe's 6th finals appearance all in this decade. Now i dono about you but if kobe had won all his finals appearances..that wud mean 5 rings with a 6th on the way. Now who else has 6 rings..no.23.
Im sure the lebron kobe comparisons wud mean nothing if he had 5 rings right now. asdadasd
4:22
You’re welcome
🎒🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
MAMBA FOREVER
We all came here for 4:22
its so funny to read some of the comments on here. last yr finals every one was critcizing kobe for his carefree attitude and lack of effort and now that his got all this energy and determination this final, some of you are now calling him a cry baby. wtf lol
LMAO
4:30-4:44
RIP BEAN !
RIP BLACK MAMBA
Damn I miss Kob
LOL 0:53; at least he tells it like it is and doesn't hold anything back. hope no kids were watchin
"Lebron is doing well taking a nap"
ROFL!!!
Kobe was pissed the game was so close he knew it could have went either way
only three teams have came back down 0-2 to win the finals...idk about you, but the magic are running out of magic.
Make it 4 or 5 if you included the 2016 Cavaliers won their first Championship after came back down 3-1
Bucks also during 2021 finals
damn bass finally a person who said exactly what ive been trying to say all along...they say lakers were soft...kinda but the celtics were a tough team Man! and that kobe choked..shit i say everone else didnt step up so all the blame got placed on Kobe. kinda hard to play 1 on 5 and expect to win it all.

"Shit" - mamba
Job' not finish
LOLS rapstorfan get used to lakers dominance. if we pull this out .... your gonna cryin for a long time. oh by the way shaq couldnt win one by himself either and neither could jordan. a new player for cavs wont help with Bynum in rythym. hes gonna be the next dominant center buddy, sorry for the info
rapin them boyz on the court.!
Job is finished
Nice fail man
Wow... I stopped watching the NBA about 3 years ago. Watching the uneven play of the Magic last game, I see why. They look as bad as the Cavs v Spurs
Will someone PLEASE name me the championship series that was this WEIRD LOOKING between 1983-2000? Thought so.

Big Yawn... (replies). They've played 2 games (but I'm the idiot).
Listen, this 21st century brand of basketball IS NOT exciting to me. You like that shit? then watch it! I don't like it. Who's a Kobe Hater? Dwight Howard can't play with his back to the basket. Shit looked like Kwame "Mad Cow Disease" Brown. Maad apple pie turnovers (boring).
Go develop in college, maybe I'll watch.
