For all we know, Sam Mitchell reached his full potential in basketball. I mean, the dude made it to the NBA from Mercer University…🤷🏾♂️
He was a kid. I don't condone bullying. Kobe was a hard worker. If I had the pleasure to have a teammate that worked like that I would have worked out with him everyday. Making that type money would have motivated me.
And because of this, Kobe was the only one Mike recognized as having the greatest potential for surpassing him, "because he copied all my moves" and best believe when he played his last game against Kobe, Kobe gave wizards Michael a send off that solidified surpassing him as the greatest! All those 3pters from deep!!!
talk that talk i still don't see why ppl say that like its a bad thing mj mimicked his favorite players like any other kid and it worked and folks act like Kobe didn't have his own style of play as well he blended it very well and Became The Mamba MY GOAT

Who are they? Names please. So we can laugh at them. 2 Statues. 5 Rings. Thank you Kobe. The greatest shooting guard I've ever laid eyes on next to Michael Jordan. Not a lakers fan. But Kobe is forever my guy
He's 100% right and they are just jealous. I skated with the best skaters in my city and because of that I quickly became way better than people that been skating for 6yrs+. They couldn't even believe it and made excuses. The bar is higher when you are working with the best every day.
And that's why like Jordan Kobe been 7 finals and only lost two as to some been 7 8 or 9... And lost more then what you won ..and like Mike it's about the win... Mamba! 5 Ring monster !
It's male nature for us to criticize and even ridicule/look down on a man who wants to be and act like someone else. But in Kobe case it's ok..cuz he one of the greatest.
No it's not lol. It's more of a females nature if anything. Especially if the person you're emulating is great! All boys want to be like their dad, especially if their dad was a strong, competent and resourceful man. Kobe was a two guard around the same height, wingspan and frame of Jordan, why wouldn't he emulate him? Kobe was also a young teenager when he came into the NBA, so for NBA veterans to be laughing at and ridiculing him just shows their jealousy and insecurity.
@nostalgicbliss5547 that's true.. Men do look up to other men. But we respect originality more! We had one in a lifetime talents like Bruce Lee, Both Mjs, Tupac etc. So when people copy these guys we can understand. Where do think these yns came with a new word for dick riding called glazing. Yeah they over using the word but men across the world don't respect swag jacking. They said Kobe was crazy wit it..trying to talk like him and everything..walk like MJ. I modeled my game after Drose so much growing up niggas was calling me Rose in the hood but I wasn't trying talk like him and walk like him etc.
Baffles me that players in the NBA (the most competitive and difficult level of basketball to achieve) would be capable of hating on another player striving for greatness. It takes so much dedication just to get there and yet people are still able to try and bring another person down. Shine on Kobe ⭐️ you will be remembered forever. Your haters will be forgotten 🪦
You're absolutely right big fella. That's what we have to do to be the best version of ourselves. Kobe Bean Bryant understood it, he wanted to be like the GOAT, and at the end of the journey he became Kobe Bryant "The Black Mamba". ❤❤❤ RIP Kobe. #mamba_mentality

I wonder what his young daughters really thought about their dad cheating on their mother with a young teen. I bet his wife was devastated,shocked and disappointed of this betrayal with a young teen.

RIP KOBE, greetings to al who helped put this 'vid together.
