Just Another Username oh please. He attacks the media as an institution and tries to undermine its importance anytime he isn’t portrayed in a favorable light.

People who weren’t there for the 2012 season don’t realize how special that was for us seeing Kobe at the height of his powers even as his athleticism started to wane.
I mean, it was a cool season, but god damn people way blew it out of proportion. The fact that nobody could shut up about “look how bad Kobe wants it, he’s dragging his team into the playoffs” meanwhile he defense was embarrassingly bad and low effort that year.
@@JAWrightonline ya without Kobe shaq wouldn’t have won shit either they needed each other Kobe was a top 3 player from 2001-2004 in the nba easily and top 10 in the 2000 season
@@JAWrightonline Shaq was getting swept with an all time great in Penny Hardaway. What Shaq do before Kobe? If it wasn’t for Kobe Shaq wouldn’t have those 3 rings they needed each other. Shaq carry Kobe? Lol stop it Kobe was killing Western Conference playoffs.
@@tylercanton3836 Shaq advanced in the playoffs no matter who he played with. Kobe never won a single PLAYOFF SERIES without a HOF center (Shaq/Gasol).
@@tylercanton3836 Shaq took ALL THREE Finals MVP Awards in the Titles he carried Kobe to. "All-time great Penny Hardaway?" What you been smokin'? Must be some powerful shit, too.
@steve grad he spent the whole day mentioning his name. Also I think his speech got cut because he released a video(you can find it on his channel) with essentially an identical speech but then with a few minutes dedicated to his teammates, especially Kobe.
So u mentioned the time where Kobe had to come off the bench when Shaq was starting? Thank you, sir. U just proved my point. Shaq was the catalyst and made Kobe & others better. The mark of a true team leader.
Victor Skywalker - Kobe actually took Shaq to the promised land. Until Kobe emerged, Shaq couldn’t lead a team to the promised land. He couldn’t lead those Lakers to the Finals, until Kobe emerged. What the heck are you talking about?
@@joscaca The reason Shaq didn't take the Lakers to the title earlier wasn't because Kobe hadn't emerged but because of Del Harris' incompetent coaching. With Pat Riley instead of Del guiding that unit, history easily could had been Shaq & Nick (Van Exel) instead of Shaq & Kobe.
Shaq and Kobe got together at one point and decided that it is not in either of their interests to be public enemies. And I think they may have even made up to a degree. But I think neither of them like especially like each other. They both have long memories.
There is actually a video that came out last week where Shaq pretty much said the same thing he said on his ceremony. But in this video he mentioned, Fisher, Horry, and Kobe. For some reason he didn't mention it at the ceremony.
It was Shaq's moment. Let him have it. He & the rest of the world knows his career wouldn't have been the same without his teammates. I don't expect Kobe to thank anyone other than himself and Jack. That's how superstar athletes are. Ain't no thang.
In the end every time Shaq has been to the finals he's had a dominant wing scorer. First Penny Hardaway then Kobe, then wade. Shaq needed those guys to take pressure off of him.
this is true but that was shaqs team bulls was jordans team the best player on the team gets most of the credit thats just how it works kobes 4th and 5th ring he was the best on the team so he gets the most credit thats why people say kobe owes the first three to shaq
Bigkayking24 im not hatin I just don't respect it. 3 Allstars on one team seems the easy way out. And to the dude who made that dumb comment about kobe couldn't lead the Lakers but lebron could. Kobe was in the west and lebron was in the east. Enough said
If I recall, it was SHAQ who came to LA. Kobe was there a few years before SHAQ and LA wasnt shit in the postseason. Yes Kobe contributed, but Shaq was the main catalyst. Be for real.

No being logical is comparing those players productivity, it has nothing to do with reputation. Those Cavs players were head and shoulders better then anyone on the Lakers. Shaq, Z, Jamison, Mo, and Delonte all went on to get signed by other teams, and Varejao was averaging 15 rebounds a game this season for the Cavs until he got injured. What about those Laker players? Mihms, Parker, Medvedenko, Walton and Vujacic or all either unsigned free agents or 3rd string reserves right now.
it would make sense if Bynum was actually factor. too bad he practically contributed nothing those 2 finals so idk why you pointed that out and kobe went on a tear the last 2 finals and the playoff games before that. He definitely deserved the bulk of the credit for winning with Gasol. of course Gasol helped alot though.
I wish i could go to one kobe video without people arguing about shaq being finals mvp claiming he got kobe 3 rings and comparing kobe to jordan at the end of the day there is 5 people on the court for a reason and they all have to perform to win and if you hate on kobe and you are comparing him to jordan you must think highly of him to have no one else but the greatest player of all time to compare him to so clearly he is the real deal..... just quit it....
Man just hearing his voice gives me chills. God bless his family.
And his fans🥰💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜
"i appreciated you guys trying to start some shit" lol!

I love how Kobe doesn't give a fuck and curses in his interviews LOL
We all joke about everyone on that list but I honestly believe they all are innocent of the crime they were accused of
& This is many many manyyyyy reasons why i love kobe & that hes the real Goat ‼️‼️‼️
#ripkobebryant
Yep. That's media. Always tryna start some shyt. I like how Kobe handles the media... lpl
Word
Yea he learned not to take the media too easily like he did when he was younger, when Shaq was with the Lakers
He does handle them well....* did * 😥
Kobe was so smooth. Man. Miss you killa!!

Ego is not your friend
Greatest centers of time and Kobe didn’t show up???
It was 2013
2008 - 2012 Kobe was something special to watch and experience.

well he said when he was talking about coach Phill : "thank you to talking us to the next level"

Kobe said "I' was preparing for the second half" and then he shot 2 for 7 in the second half.

yes shaq did mention his teamates in a video shaq made.. its in nba.com... he mentioned, derek, robert, and finally kobe. it was cool!

Real dude
Lol
Glad him and Shaq squashed the beef before passed.
Kobe you're cool.
Kobe love shaq to death u can hear it in his voice 😞😢R.I.P #8#24
Kobe always shuttin the media up lol they were being messy so I don't blame him for saying what he said..
The best!
If you're going to insult someone try spelling correctly next time.
Him not being there for Shaq was so pett they should have never parted both great players should have appreciated more both great love black athletes.
Rip😢😢😢
Kobe team before any,body,thing,thats kobe.
MJ , Kobe vengeance defined them
That was just in the Thank you video, not in the actual presentation. He didn't even mention Dr. Buss.
thanks dude
Shaq tweeted a video of his jersey retirement and said he wanted to thank everyone, especially Kobe.
In the end every time Shaq has been to the finals he's had a dominant wing scorer. First Penny Hardaway then Kobe, then wade. Shaq needed those guys to take pressure off of him.
And whenever Shaq left them, their teams immediately went into the toilet. Are you telling me that's a coincidence?
this is true but that was shaqs team bulls was jordans team the best player on the team gets most of the credit thats just how it works kobes 4th and 5th ring he was the best on the team so he gets the most credit thats why people say kobe owes the first three to shaq

he made a video msg though
Could've backed the camera off of Kobe's face. Disrespectful.
at the end of the day kobe has a game to play that night. he brought the lakers back in the playoffs. shame it didnt last long
check out shaqs twitter, he mentioned several players including KOBE on a video he had intended to use for his ceremony.
Rip
If I recall, it was SHAQ who came to LA. Kobe was there a few years before SHAQ and LA wasnt shit in the postseason. Yes Kobe contributed, but Shaq was the main catalyst. Be for real.
Kobe and shaq came to the lakers the same year. I use to think kobe was there first too
Telling the truth about what makes Kobe who he is I have a job to do no shade live my brother he understands love wins Linda j peace ❤️💯🌈
Lord, is he still an a hole up there?.....good🙏 Rest in power king
he mentioned teammates in his press conference beforehand.
He doesn't curse during live interviews. During the press interviews he is unfiltered because he knows it can be edited. Please he likes tweaking them when they do things like this and try to stir things up.
Jordan had a few losing seasons with Pippen as well...87,88,89,90, and 95 when they got swept by the Orlando Magic.
Shaq said the same speech he said in a video in NBAtv. He actually thanked kobe in that video but i guess he didnt want to say it infront of everyone in staples center lol.
Mamba mentality
why was the copyright still 2011??
he did, but in a video also its in nba.com
No being logical is comparing those players productivity, it has nothing to do with reputation. Those Cavs players were head and shoulders better then anyone on the Lakers. Shaq, Z, Jamison, Mo, and Delonte all went on to get signed by other teams, and Varejao was averaging 15 rebounds a game this season for the Cavs until he got injured. What about those Laker players? Mihms, Parker, Medvedenko, Walton and Vujacic or all either unsigned free agents or 3rd string reserves right now.
wait are you talking about the 2006-7 laker roster when they were crap or the 2009-10 champions roster
He did not have to be 🥰💛💜💜💛💜💛💜💛💜
it would make sense if Bynum was actually factor. too bad he practically contributed nothing those 2 finals so idk why you pointed that out and kobe went on a tear the last 2 finals and the playoff games before that.

hes right it was a uge uge uge game for the lakers.
When shaq is on the hall of fame i pretty sure he will mention kobe
Focused
