Kobe always gives the best interviews, he's a deep thinker and his basketball IQ is one of the highest ever.
Nathan Wiggins my opinion of him doubled after seeing this. Wow.
@@Regalman why tf you gotta bring race into this man
@@yungalter8765 Look at Eric's comment.
He would've made a really good coach in the NBA.
Matt, typical fuckwit
Still can't believe he is gone. RIP GOAT
@Dionysus in Los Angeles, you’d have to be from Mars to be considered “foreign”.
who's here again because of Kobe's death. 😢 He's my idol
Jesus is my idol
I dont believe u for one second. I bet u dont know who he is and u havent even seen one game with him. U saw his rip meme on internet and now u claim to be a kobe fan.
@@ElMakz You'er right, that shjit pisses me off, they just looking for clout. All because people are commenting the rubbish he also commented it too. RUBBISH.
Stop changing clout. Jesus christ, you guys are everywhere. RIP Kobe, ig, but seriously, he’s in the ground. Chill out. No one screams RIP PRINCE in the comment sections of his music vids.
@@abenson6862 Wait?What!??😂😂
Kobe: When they cut it to 2 points with 3 minutes to go, I was like, "This is so much fun."
RIP to the one of the most intense competitors out there. You'll be missed, but not forgotten.
Lol fr what a thing to say and he meant it too.
I feel bad for those younger generations that never got to see Kobe play
Connor Clifton facts
well now the younger generation gets to see kobes mind, which is probably even greater than his basketball plays
@@TheRealBruceLouis i agree heavily... im so spoilt rotten to be a Lakers fan
Yeah they missed out on a lot of bricks and tantrums...
Sandernista 🌽
Kobe literally said dont celebrate yet. The game isnt over until the final buzzer.. its epic a true warrior..
The difference between 04 & 08 was 1 word.. Kobe
*name not word.
@1 Garoto 2 Mundos
Dirk
Shaq
AI
KD
all 1 MVP HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
No its two words,
Kobe Bryant
1 Garoto 2 Mundos 5 rings hahahahaha
Melo was a good reason why they lost.
Who else is still Kobe die hard fan in 2019
Markiv S Me, the nba is nothing without Kobe
I'm the uncle who won't shut up about kobe cuz my nephews think steph, harden and westbrook are the best basketball player lol
TILL THIS DAY
Me
💯👈
kobe saying 'we' and not 'they' when talking about the 04 US Olympic squad really shows his character as he wasnt even a part of the team that lost 🙏
Everyone on the Spain team ran over to shake Kobe’s hand when the game ended. They wanted them Mamba Powers 😂
To be fair Kobe was the one who initiated to shake hands
Who wouldn't bro... It's just a game but still got respect...❤
RIP my king Kobe such a shame you left this world so soon 💔
I like how all the players from Spain went to Kobe and shook hands with the GOAT!
Love Kobe
E' SomeONE' Such a great guy, a true Olympian!
+E' SomeONE' Yes, it's a beautiful city. :-)
+E' SomeONE' NO ONE ELSE LIKE THIS. IT'S AT 81 LIKES
And you've never made any mistakes in your life? Look at what he did after the fact, he's done his best to make up for his mistakes. Shove off.
To me Kobe is the definition of an athlete in all the extent of the word, a true professional, well articulated and a true machine! Bravo Kobe!!
I’m still here 2020 who’s with me. RIP KOBE💛💜🙏🏿
I bet Kobe was legend. R. I. P.
The dream team of the Olympics 1992 was also awesome.
I watched this video a long time ago but I’m coming back to say Rest In Peace to Kobe Bryant. Not only one of the best basketball players of all time but a profoundly honest, positive, and kind man. My words don’t do his life justice, and the world will truly miss you Kobe. Thank you for all that you’ve done, on and off the court.
Kobe is a killer! I remember right before the 3min mark, Spain went on a 10-2 run, trying desperately to catch up. Rudy Fernandez postered Dwight and hit a 3 next possession. The Spanish fans were going crazy in the stands and trying to hype up the team. But the next play, Kobe hit the three for a And1 4 point play. When he made that shot and put his finger to his mouth to give everyone in the stands the “Shhh” gesture, That gave me chills. It was like he was telling everyone “Stop all the creaming, they are not winning this game!” Crowd went dead silent
Kobe🐍😭
We miss u
RIP💛💜
mamba's mentality reclaiming the gold in olympic his leadership in 2008-2012 was awesome.
And don't forget we got to see him and LeBron play
Rip Kobe
The greatest of all Time
Actually Jordan is the GOAT. Kobe is right below him, followed by LeBron.
The 2008 & 2012 teams were my absolute faves! 🖤
I was literally just watching this last night.
RIP Mamba and Gigi
RIP Kobe. Forever in our hearts. Will be holding on to your Mamba mentality.
Spoken like a true Champion! Kobe we love you ❤️
5:52, he's really saying, "Taking over the game when no one else has the courage to was part of my job"
he was also wrong..wade prince had nba rings prince beat kobe and boozer reed and melo had college rings...fail kobe...epic fail....
@@razkable stick to naruto
@Asmosis Jones bruh stfu. Kobe had 5 rings and also helped USA to won 2 consecutive Olympic title in 08-12. Wade, Boozer, Melo did a MASSIVE FAILURE at 2004 Olympic lmao. GTFOWTB
@@razkable stick to cartoons
Rip Kobe Bryant Legend, GOAT
Kobe always can lead people to have champion. G.O.A.T.
Kobe is a class act thank you for bringing the gold back where it belongs the USA the best basketball nation in the world!
if only NBA has the spirit that the players have in the Olympics like constantly, its like fighting for their lives
Yeah like a spirit by Football player who are try hard in FIFA
If you ask me, Kobe is the Goat
Splashus Klay all day everyday but most don’t want to admit it. The problem is Mj comes from an era where they actually respected talent, Kobe didn’t. The other thing is once people have a GOAT in their head they want that person to stay GOAT forever even when someone better comes along. It’s true for Kobe with Michael Jordan and it’s definitely true with Floyd Mayweather and Muhammad Ali.
Um Not close
Good for you, but no. Better than LeBum he is though.
not even close
Haha thats a joke
Memories I’ll never forget watching the Olympics as a kid 2008 and 2012 💔
Lebron and Kobe my idols forever ♾💯
Rip Mamba Rip GiGi🖤♾
Top man. He will be sorely missed, but forever remembered by all.
i really miss these days when players just wanted to play for their home country and we really who was the best of the best
The ultimate competitor, USA doesn't win Gold in '08 without him
Yepp. Look at 04
Cmore Butts They would still win I think if they replace him with even a guy like Joe or Iggy; too much talent and a lot of selfless guys(cp3, dwill, jkidd, lebron, wade).
04 had a lot of young guys or 1st years(lebron, melo, wade, emeka amare) and some selfish guys like marbury and AI; but no excuse to not win because guys like Duncan were in their prime
+Cmore Butts And the FIBA world cup in 2006 when they lost to Greece without him.
+nima zahir lmao no way they would of lost to spain for sure if kobe wasnt there. he hit 4 clutch shots and a couple steals. and a big big 3 and 1 to seal it. lebron would of come short and shrinked.
I love Kobe but USA still wins without Kobe in their lineup. Where they improved was the perimeter shooting. They actually had outside shooters to accompany Lebron and Wade this time...something very much missing in 2004. I respect Spain but they would have still lost to the USA.
I'm here today-26th jan 2020. You'll be missed Kobe.❤️
We miss you Kobe.
I loved watching this video after the 2012 Olympics ended. It was amazing to see Kobe just being so genuine and just so happy about his Olympic experience. Just amazing to see this raw emotion come out and the competitiveness in the Olympics for gold and to be the best. They did the USA so proud and proved that USA basketball is still great. What a leader Kobe was and still is. He is dearly missed and USA could not have done this without him. Kobe was just simply the best there was and ever will be. The loss is immense and will be felt forever. Remember Kobe forever.
You notice at the end who the the spain team went 2 first after losing? Kobe …. this man deserves more respect than he gets now .. how quickly we forget how great he was .. when you go back and see these games with all these guys on this team .. all these 1st ballet hall of famers and he was the best on the court
Here Here you are correct and those same guys changed there approach and practice habits after being on that team with him. From eating to working out to watching film. Kobe has a profound impact on those guys.
absolute legend he won USA gold in 08
This video shows how much an amazing athlete and person Kobe was... R.I.P you legend 😭💔
I missed Kobe, his glory days in LA and the Olympics.
R.I.P kobe fly high 🕊🕊🕊
Who is watching this 2021 we miss you kobe :(
DWade KOBE. most clutch of this millenium.
LuuG F not the most clutch
I'm now bored to watch the NBA now that Kobe is gone. He's my idol since i was a kid
I'm going to miss Kobe too. however I won't be bored watching the NBA because I love the game and sport, not just one player.
TJ D same here kobe is nba for me
I mean I don't know about these players being idols but as far as great basketball goes we still have Lebron, KD, Greek Freak, Demarcus Cousins, Anthony Davis, James Harden, Russel Westbrook, Kyrie Irving, Stephen Curry, Kristaps Porzingis, Paul George, etc.. I know what you mean though. Dirk Nowitzki is my basketball idol. And while he isn't really doing much these days(at least like what he used to), the league and the Mavericks for me just wont be the same either once he retires. Its just gonna feel a little bit like things have a little soul in them I guess.
Watch Lonzo Ball he will be better than Kobe
I’m with you, I never knew an NBA without kobe, started watching the year he got drafted, I was 8 years old!!! I’m 24 now
One of the greatest to ever pick up a bball, been watching him since I was 11!
Jo
One thing i like most in kobe he don’t celebrate in between game. He completely focus on the game. After wining he celebrates
I was just young enough to witness a bit of the Jordan era, but Kobe was the first superstar I got to witness a full career. And what a great career it was, took the torch and elevated the game further. Such greatness 🙏🙏
also thanks to coach K to bring them together and control their superstars ego and molded them as one. that's the biggest problem for them before
curious pug coach k loves kobe . They had a great relationship
after losing the 98 02 06 fibas and 04 olympics usa basketball was a joke at the time..imagine if we had lost the 00 Olympics?..
6:05 this sums up what a competitor he was. He lives for the competition
When you play for your country all those line will go away
--KOBE 😭❤️🙏
I miss seeing and hearing him :(
Trxppy Edits21 same:(
kobe you are the man
Indeed he is brother.
Kobe is a good story teller
Kobe is cool.
when lebald led the usa team he led them to lebronze . So American called Captain American "KOBE" aka the black mamba & led the US to gold... Thank you Kobe :)
I dont want to see kobe retiring :(
it's about to happen
+Good Man it just happened
+Armando Kozomara NOOOO! Kobe don't do this to me
he gone man he gone..... :'(
I shed a tear, i wont lie...
I miss Kobe so much! 😣 RIP brother
2004 Olympic = No KOBE = NO GOLD
2008 Olympic = YES KOBE = YES GOLD
2012 to
96
Paul Singh yeah you’re logic doesn’t make any sense, USA still dominates in the Olympics even without Kobe, like 92, 00, 02, 16 like they still get gold
I AGREE paul that statement is true
Max he didn't say USA doesn't dominate bruh .. He said 2004 Kobe passed on the Olympics and they lost. 2008 Kobe took the challenge and got the gold
Rest is peace Kobe! 💔We will never forget you!
Kobe was the main catalyst to Team USA reclaiming the gold, he set the tone and they followed his lead. If he was not a part of that team, Spain wins the gold... it's that simple.
R.I.P. GOAT
Kobe 😢
He was and always will be a legend in sports he really embodied being called a G.O.A.T fly high a real legend in sports 💕
This Team are it's like the Dream Team 🏀
My god Kobe was so.....alive in this video what a beautiful and accomplished man he was I almost forget about the tragedy on what happened to him..Kobe u did what u born to do on this earth you lived your life to fullest and now your resting with your baby girl and the angels. You will never be forgotten
ever....Rip Kobe Bean Bryant aka Black Mamba 1978-2020💜💛💝
This really does put his achievements into perspective...even if only a small one. We lost the goat today :(
Rip Kobe
I am the quintessential Kobe hater, but man did he save our ass in that game. It would've been the biggest loss in sports history if we had lost that game.
+KOforLiddell everybody that fan of basketball should love kobe bryant game, he will be surely miss in the game of basketball
after losing in 2002 2004 and 2006 usa basketball globally was seen as a joke...we had been surpassed it seemed by spain and argetina and greece
The biggest loss in sports history was when the first Kobe hater came out of the cave.
So you're a casual basketball fan, that's cool too.
No it wont people outside us rarely ever watch it
The world is missing you Mamba! We Lost one of the illest 💪🏿💯
i already miss kobe
R.I.P. Legend
Missing you so much Kobe. Your a Legend
Thanks for those beautiful moments Kobe, thanks for also beeing such a beautiful person, RIP champion.
I am Chinese. In 2008 I was in arena. I watched the first game, which is China vs United states. You know NBA is very popular in China. A lot of Chinese fans wears Lakers，Heat，Cavaliers jersey to the court. Because people love the NBA people loves the culture connection between China and the USA. We support both team. People choose a smart way, Because they were not wear China or USA jersey. That's the highest respect for other countries team. NBA probably the most important US culture in China. Also, In the opening ceremony. When the picture moved to Kobe's face，The whole nest Sports center were crazy！ and everyone was super exciting and pay their respect to Kobe. Time passed so fast. I still can't believe kobe passed away. It's such a great loss Not only for American people, but also for Chinese people. Sports can always inspire people to move on. I hope all the kobe's fans can Learn the mamba mentality And keep moving. Inspire the people around you. We shouldn't lose this connection.
RIP Kobe.
You are always the best player in my heart.
Kobe, come back to us, please😭💔😭💔😭💔😭💔
I do missed you Kobe RIP you in house of God now
best to ever show us how its done
Aobakwe Podile kwame brown?
To show us how hard work can beat talent
I miss Kobe playing ball. Full class competitor.
Kobe "Alpha Leader"...
Rest Easy Kobe 😔
Kobe was brought to the olympics to shut down the other teams best scorer and that's exactly what he did.....simply great
By far the best thing about team USA is how they actually play team basketball. A lot of other national teams have problems with their superstar players. But not USA. Coach K was able to get all of them on the same page. Incredible work from coaches and players.
That smile of kobe after the hardwork is satisfying
The Black Mamba!!!!
When Kobe and his team was really try to win by heart for their country's team. Its more than caring about NBA team
Kobe finally let his guard down around other NBA players and felt a happiness you can see he hadn’t felt in a while.. sharing glory with his comrades
Faxx he was so happy with life at that point
We miss you, Kobe!
I love Kobe
My Idol, My inspiration
RIP Kobe 🙏
Kobe Bryant is a top 5 basketball player of all time and this interview was so legendary
The rumor was Coach K and Kobe were needed cuz Lebron made the practices too relaxed and not professional....so they recruited Kobe to show everyone how to practice and work hard.
Note all the players praised Kobe for his work ethic after those Olympics.
In 2004 it was Lebrons fault even though he was just drafted the year before?
MrCaribKaraoke Stop
MrCaribKaraoke
"Rumor"...possibly created by Kobe's people to heighten his "greatness" even further? Similar to how, from 2009-2011, he'd start each season shooting 50+% from the field, but once his shooting percentage fell, his people leaked "injuries" that apparently caused the plummet. lol
Twokings13 2006 Fiba World Championship team...where they won a Bronze Medal....that's where his LeBronze nickname became popular. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_FIBA_World_Championship
+Twokings13 I agree, I think that's a bit unfair dropping all the blame on him. I think the reason the USA lost in 2004 was their preparation was almost non-existent, throwing a team of inexperienced players together at the last minute and putting them against teams who've been playing together for years was a recipe for disaster, the signs were there in 2000 when they almost lost on three occasions that their dominance was under serious threat.
Rip Kobe and Gianna ❤️
My God I admire Kobe’s thinking. RIP Mamba. ❤️🙏🏾
Rest In Peace Kobe. Your legacy will never be forgotten. Long live MAMBA 🟡🟣
one and only, black mamba
6:17 was a killer instinct
I won't forget that.
The G.O.A.T Kobe. Never forget the greatness
strategic Kobe bean Bryant yessir
