Being told your not getting minutes in the 4th because your from Duke is insane .
And this is the coach melo was pose to “win a title with” 😂
If you understand, you understand.
George Karl for ya
@@BillCaddell stop that shit is unprofessional
Nah fuck Duke
Kobe was smart AF! He saved his energy and knew when to use it
That's why he's the mamba. Strikes when it's time
Yes bro, he knew when to attack
🤡@@bobbobsin3202
Most intelligent person in the history of the game
If other players does it we will get "Nah that's why the league soft now, Kob would go full throttle WHOLE GAME!".
Fr though
This added such a great context to why he guarded Kobe like that. Great insight.
It really does. It also highlights one of the major differences in the game now as it was WAY more physical then.
Kobe went thru a freaking gauntlet to win those back to back titles,The Big 3 Celtics twice in the Finals,young OKC core, Spurs core, Physical battle with Artest and Battier in Houston, and these Nuggets, Phoenix Suns and their core dude literally had arguably the toughest path not to just winning one but winning multiple ones!!
OKC was easy
@@Kobe8DaGreat24 they won 50 games as and 8th seed and almost went to game 7 if Pau didn't make a game winner?? lol
Kobe beat the most 50 win teams in history. Also why ppl sleep on the fact that Kobe played against the greatest PF ever that had an amazing team, goat coach, beat Bron multiple finals, and was one shot away from tying Jordan at 6-0? Kobe was amazing!
All that without Shaq. My guy was him !!!
Possibly toughest path for back-to-backs. Toughest path for 1 was 2011 Mavs. Roy Trailblazers, Kobe Lakers, KD/Russ/Harden Thunder, and the Heattles.
And Kobe still owned Denver this series
of course, he swore and promised that as long as he's playing, coach karl and denver will never win a series against him. that's for freezing him the whole 4quarter of an all star game
@@bekimcachero4683 Yeah i remembered that, dude put his anger on a whole franchies. If that's not a GOAT level mentality then idk what.
The play he talking about I remember vividly. He pushed Kobe but Kobe couldn't react because he had 6 tech and if he got a 7th he'd be suspended 1 game. A possession or 2 later they ran a set where Kobe yelled at Pau to set a screen on on Jones. When Pau set the screen Kobe caught the lob for an and 1 oop. Jones was pissed because Birdman didn't rotate to cover the lob since his man (Pau) set the screen on Jones. That was also the infamous game 3 where Kobe pulled up over JR Smith and hit the 3 and debuted the Snarl face
Snarl face is the mamba showing its fangs
It was called “The Scowl” but it never stuck 😂
Same my favorite conf finals of all time was locked on Melo heavy with Kobe
When did the consensual rape happened in Denver? 😂
Bro! That was beautiful, you a real Kobe fan, respect
Fuck Dahntay. Dude purposely stepped under Kobe’s legs during that jump shot and ended his season.
We lakers fans didn't forget what you did in that series, duntey. with all that dirty plays, you still couldn't beat us tho...RIP Black Mamba👑
Facts haven’t respected him since & can’t really take him seriously in interviews
Didn’t he do it again on another team I think the hawks?
@@Martwon yep he did
Yeh and your lebich wont win any ring with all the peds he uses😂
He also tripped kob when he beat him off a back door cut, stuck his leg out and kobe went falling...get this dude out of here
I still got beef with Dahntay over him undercutting Kobe a few games before he tore his Achilles. Kobe went up for a jump shot when Dahntay was on the Hawks and he stepped under his foot before Kobe landed and tried to act like it wasn’t on purpose.
too bad Kobe never got his revenge like he said he would
I remember that. that stiff ankle probable caused him to overstretch his achilles, ive always theorized that
Adam Silver signed Dhantay’s check that pay period…..
@@Nephromancer3I believe for sure that Dahntay’s actions prematurely ended Kobe’s career.
Gentleman. I agree 100% and have always believed this. F u c k Jones
I don't believe him, He did the same shit in Atlanta. What was the reason he slid his feet under Kobe's jumpshot... I call 🧢
💯💯
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
💯
Bro, this dude was dirty. He said he wouldn't kick em but he did. He tripped him, pushed him in the back, and stuck his foot out so Kobe can land on it and sprained his ankle when he played with the Hawks. This dude was Kobes John Starks
Kobe sprained his ankle when Dahntay stepped under him in 2013 which indirectly led to the Achillies Tear, among other injury attempts
He played tough and Kobe actually respected him though. That was how the game was played. Now every game is 156-167. Scoring 50 means nothing now
Tbf Kobe also knew how to play dirty. Different times where you try to get an edge every way you can
@@edwardwoojiexactly, everybody acting like Kobe didn’t have his own tricks he would pull especially elbowing to the ribs
The way bro talkin he do seem a lil career-endish 💀💀
Kobe still was busting they ass
Kobe passed alot when Dantay Jones was guardin him cause the dude would always try to injure Kobe when Kobe jumps in the air.
In the sissy league we have now, some of these dirty plays are still not called. Baffling.
Bro he knew his fuckin minute structure
smiling at this because man, my guy Kobe was so fucking good do u hear the way they would prepare???? insane.
Mamba never gave up that’s one of the many reasons why he is the goat!
thats why kobe was not bothered by denver defense cause he embraces physicality.
I think this is what makes Kobe different, he had counters to his moves a lot of players don’t when it doesn’t work they don’t have anything else they attack based on who’s on them.
Kobe went thru the toughest path to the finals and in the finals against the celtics then any other superstar
That Denver team was really good, imo that was Melos peak
Billups is the key. His experience and leadership made them Finals worthy.
Melo was always nice, but he ain't that the playoff leader and defender that sets the tone.
Bro they were deep too with young birdman at center 🔥🔥
@@jlui21🔥
His peak was 2012 playing PF on the Knicks
He was good as part of the team but once money became his thing there and they couldn't afford anyone else
@@jlui21that was one of the greatest series I’ve ever seen. Big shot Billups was in rare form, hitting big shots back and forth in the fourth with Kobe. Melo never got anywhere close to a Finals after that.
Kobe averaged 27 against him....while in facilitator mode 😂
Foreal lmaoo🔥😂 easy work
I’m not a Kobe fan, but Jones got COOKED in that finals.
I love you my man Paul and your podcast.
Your work ethic, your character to come back from your injuries, fighting now for a championship and with your podcast sharing yours and other NBA stories with all of us.
I always enjoy the perspective from the players that played with and had to guard Kobe. Priceless!
"try to injure him" - Dante
Jones sitting here talking about how he respected Kobe as a competitor and mentor is not true.
He tried to injure Kobe multiple times that series, he stepped under him multiple times, physicality and playing dirty is two different things.
He stepped under him when he played for the hawks as well and injured Kobe.
You couldn’t guard Kobe at all, he averaged 34 6 & 6 in the western conference finals.
The competition back then was 🔥
Man that Denver vs laker series was such a good time. That’s when I used to watch the NBA every single day.
Same here brother. Some of the best battles we saw and 2010 finals still awesome.
@@nayyabmughal1123 melo’s only chance to get a ring and Kobe wasn’t having it lol.
Gem interview. Thank you 🔥
That's fine. Jones did al he can to stop Kobe. And yet, Kobe and Lakers still sent them home. That Nuggets in 08-09 is the real deal. Look at them. They Got Chauncey, Melo, K mart, Camby, Birdman, Nene. Those are not just all stars and formers all stars. Kmart, Chauncey and Camby got NBA finals experienced. That series was just won on who's the alpha who wants it more. Kobe even in tears after game 6 when they won.
And Iverson
@joshuainadagbo4771 how tf did he leave out Iverson?
Iverson wasn't on that nuggets team. He was traded to Detroit for Billups.
George Karl saying he wont play a Duke guy in the 4th quarter is so wild. how do you even become a coach if you have grudges like that
He making that shit up trying to minimize his dirty ass play
@Second2None1911 nah he's making it up because most dudes just can't accept they suck. Its like ppl saying tom>manning even though manning has a winning record vs Tom in the playoffs, even though tom and company were stealing playbooks, recording practices, and stealing signals, or the fact that he had more top 10 defenses than peyton, or Rodgers, or Brees, or Eli, COMBINED😂. Or ppl who swear bron is better than kobe and Mike. They just can't accept truth so they make shit up
that was the old school, he was a great coach but thankfully that mindset is disappearing. thibodeau and rivers need to go too
@@GFelix-jm4jjyou’re the only guy putting manning over Brady in 2024. See how it autocorrected Brady to be capitalized and manning didn’t get autocorrected? Even google knows.
@@Prince_Luci lol bro is big mad so much he has to look at "auto correct" as if it doesn't adjust to you maaaan Brady fans are the dumbest, manning>brady
Listening to a dirty player try to explain being dirty is crazy
For real! I’m not giving him that much credit! Dude was a dirty ass player
Love you PG I’m a trailblazers fan but I love great players and I love watching other teams play. I love the athleticism it’s fantastic and what a show it is.
I loved bro in 2k his shot was butter water and definitely had the cherry pickems 🔥💯
Wow, this was amazing insight
One of the things many people see now is that Kobe was always one of the smartest players in the league. Some players thought that Bron had a better IQ than Kobe because Bron has more triple doubles, but Kobe's IQ was underrated.
His IQ shows in how he studied the greats from his high school days all the way through his NBA career. Studied all their moves, would ask them directly why they did something a certain way just to absorb their knowledge, trained with some of them to add to his bag, etc. There are multiple videos of Kobe breaking down NBA plays, teaching how to read offenses and defenses, etc. It's no wonder so many of today's stars went to Kobe to improve their game.
@@jordanjenkins1671 You're right
As a Laker fan, he's right, I DID hate Dahntay Jones after watching those playoff games. But hearing this reminds me that there's always two sides to every story and this interview really shows that. Thank you, Dahntay for telling your side and further fleshing out a memorable moment from the past.
Probably one of Kobe’s best series he’s ever had in the playoffs Lmaoo
Lol four eyes throwing subtle shots so smoothly.
It’s cool for PP to have role players like this on the show and hear a different side of the game !!
My guy Dahnt 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Kobes the 🐐
We're just the fans at the game-watching on TV,when ya hear the full stories it makes a whole lot of sense😎🍻🍺
I was a neutral observer of that series (LeBron fan) so i wasnt too invested at first. But each game of that series was so close i had to watch. Whenever i expected one team to win because they were up most of the game, the other team would tie it send it to ot or win with some last minute clutch baskets. It was super intense a bunch of tough shot making, talking contested shots with contact still going in, tough layups, poster dunks. Jr and kobe trading buckets, melo hitting fades and slashing to the rim with that quick first step. Then the ecf had cavs vs magic every game also coming down to the wire. Great time for the nba
Paul, could you please set the option to switch the English subtitles to Polish on the channel because I am Polish and I would really like to listen to podcasts but I am not very good at English and there is no option for me to give myself Polish subtitles yet
Thank you very much in advance
You are a great basketball player
Have a nice day and I hope you win your first NBA championship
Not that easy. Auto translation from youtube is usually inaccurate and misleading so its almost pointless
What dude said, it’s always wrong
you wrote English just fine lol
@@erickiyoshiphillips2323😂
You just wrote English better than most Americans
kobe dominated without go left hand…
back down,spin move
man knew how too play the game!
it was basically Jordan rule used by Piston but a 2000s version
0:35 timeout I gotta stop you right there Dahntay… the film is available for the public to go and see…. You were getting that work too!!!
These are the best stories. Kobe stories
gooood old fucking times
"Just like an elephant" Jackie funny man 😂😂😂
I really liked this Denver team too. Lots potential
These players podcast are great
He didn't play you because you played in duke!
That's a sad man.
How you tell a grown man that they’re not gonna play any 4th quarters cause they went to a college you don’t like. That’s crazy. I would’ve swung on old head
everyone hates george carl 😂😂😂😂
only heard The Rain-man say a decent thing about him. The Glove had a few nice words but that was it.
I read his book and dislike him more than before.😂
@@donaldmoore6333 I have his book-TOO-just haven't read it yet.
@@user-be7tc2bd6e I watched him play in the A B.A. as well.He was hard nosed and kind of physical.
@@user-be7tc2bd6e I also have Ray Allen's book and he talks about George Karl. Kenyon Martin is definitely not a fan of George Karl.Lol.
D Jones and Jalen Rose became a verb. “He Jalen Rosed me”- Kobe.
They were definitely amazing at home
@ 5:40 bro sound like Tom off the Boondocks with that “NOO!” 💀💀
I’m weak 😂😂😂
I think one of the craziest things people always say about Kobe is that he was silent in games.
That Denver team was really good.
Homie hat is 🔥🔥
1 MJ
2 KOBE
ALL TIME ALL TIME
Sometimes actually
1 KOBE
2 MJ
The two best to ever do it. Period.
I meant this dude when he played for the grizzlies he came to the gym I went too he cool in person too
🔥🔥🔥🔥
this is wild
If players are literally fined to step in landing zones to prevent a missed assignment that converts to points, I’m not sure I’d be saying that publicly right?
That nuggets team thought they were Richmond from coach Carter
“RICH-Whaaa?”
@@t.j.uchiha8699 richMEN!!!! LOL
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jersey!!! Love dahntay jones
dantay jones had a huge moment in 2016 love him
Who is this player they are interviewing???
Kobe dying still hurts. He had so much knowledge of the game and he was willing to pass it on to the young guys in the league if they wanted it.
Raja Bell, Ron Artest, Danthay Jones these players carved out a reputation defending Kobe which prolonged their career. (Artest was a Stud but still benefit from prolonging his career).
Dillion Brooks trying to do that too while simultaneously hoping to be a tiny part in a documentary. Hate them or love them, they know what they're doing.
-----
Also I'm guessing Kobe passed more when Jones was guarding is because he know Jones is more than NBA standards of dirty, Karl probably told him to injure Kobe if the opportunity presents itself.
& The "smart AF" "IQ" comments on Kobe going easy on the 12 minutes Jones was on the floor always makes me laugh
If any current day player were to say/do that, they're the same players that will type "That's why this era/league is soft AF! The late great Mamba would go hard whenever he's on the court!"
Next level glaze🍬
Also this Denver is playing that "80s/90s hard nosed defense" credit to Karl AKA we got 0 defensive skills so we rough you out. We don't got the talent to match you so we gonna play dirty.
That's a great point about Kobe being less aggressive against Jones. If it was stars today doing that they probably would be called soft and never smart
"Raja Bell, Ron Artest, Danthay Jones these players carved out a reputation defending Kobe which prolonged their career."
Ironically, Dahntay Jones shortened Kobe's career, by causing injuries to him.
Lmfao Artest Came to the West for 3 and half years in his PRIME. Other then that he was in the East where he really didn’t see Kobe Much . wtf you talking about?
@@milosanchez7194 That four seasons years is enough to earn Kobe's respect to want HIM on his team. Wtf you talking about? 🤣🤣
Kobe vs Raja Bell = 28 games
Kobe vs Ron Artest = 20 games
@@noyce. prolonging his career tho? 😂😂 ain’t no way. While avg 17-20 points but guarding Kobe prolonged Ron’s career? 😂😂😂 lmfao Man U gotta be stopped. Ron shot 40% from 4 and avg 17 a night the year before Kobe wanted him in the Lakers. Looking at them numbers who didn’t want that on there team? You given Kob too much credit with that one .
The “like an elephant” reference lost me … off base af 🤣
If you play with any detroit piston or even on the street of detroit. Don't let anyone get an easy layup.
That boy was a dirty ass player, Kobe shut the series down because this man was tryna injure em so bad
Pg is using 'like' or 'right' in every sentence
Yea bro needs to read more
On god if a coach tell me he don’t wanna play me in the fourth quarter just because of the school I went to??Oh yeah he’s gonna have a problem on his hands fasho. Plus I’m letting all the league media know damn near every game🤷🏾♂️😮💨
It wasn't just because of the school. It was because the player was a complete turd overall.
He low-key speaks in the same cadence as Kobe.
Agreed. Good catch.
Pretty common
I love how Denver guys do still act liek they ever had a prayer against Kobe's Lakers. Yall remember, this man said George karl was NEVER going to win a playoff series against him for what he did to him as a young player, and Kobe stood on that business.
I remember Kobe kicking his ass in that series BAD
Those Nuggets teams were tough. They brought the best out of Kobe.
5:53 *Somewhere, Corey Maggette lifts his head from his Popeyes chicken*
The second reason you cannot use because Magic did come in his rookie season and played center in the NBA finals and scored 42 points to win his first Finals against Dr J.
Bruh lowkey sounds like kobe in moments
This dude is a clooooooowwwwwwnnnn
“Tell me what’s the most thing you remember about Kobe”
I still remember when he closed lined kobe and he stepped underneath his shot lmao.
So George not playing Duke guys in the 4th lol He been the one that benched Kobe in the 4th of the 1998 All star too
Aye why I see Kobe when I look at him
😂
Him and Kobe used have battles ⚖️great moments
Well, not really. They played different sports. Kobe played basketball, and Dahntay was doing MMA.
@@penkima4923 elite defense back then you had to be willing to lay a scorer down
Watching the game on tv, you would think he was a dirty player when he’s not. It’s so crazy to see how detailed a team gameplan is for certain players. This proves why we shouldn’t jump to conclusions on why a player is doing certain things. A lot of times, it’s a reason.
Hey buddy, if one 7 minute clip changes your opinion about a player who's demonstrated dirty tactics over his entire career, you might be a little easy to manipulate! Have a nice day 😀
he is a dirty players though
He undercut Kobe multiple times. He defends it saying “Dey made me do it!” Screw him. He injured Kobe a few games prior to Achilles tear
what coach predetermines hes not gonna play you in 4th haha.....sounds like something Doc would do
"Why did you go beyond the rules of the game to endanger your competitor's health and safety?"
"I was just following orders."
Oh, that's fine then. Following orders makes everything okay.
Kobe said Denver will never win a playoff round vs him because Karl didn't play him in the 4th quarter of the all-star game when him and Jordan was going back and fourth
Grab all of these "kobe stoppers" it's him, Ruben Patterson, raja bell, Bruce bowen, Doug Christie, Matt Barnes lowkey......
💯💯💯💯👊🏼
Kobe is the real GOAT alongside Jordan. No bias.
Openly admitting AND OWNING UP TO IT for putting bounties on players and intentionally getting paid to injure them is CRAZY. Dirty asf, no respect to them for that bs idc. "Different physicality back then" after everything he had just said smh 🤦♀
Specific rules from this guy was play dirty, go under him while he’s in the air, and push him while he’s dunking or going for a lay up
Low key it reminds me of the Jordan rules.
