idek if Kobe did anything wrong, or if Phil even acknowledged that it was a mistake. Sometimes, your team falls behind, and you need to find a way back into the game faster to keep yourselves within striking distance.
@@gregorylu they both acknowledged that he did "screw up" the offense by trying to crank up the offense... or he deviated from the offense trying to give them a spark because they were behind but in 4th when Kobe normally closes out or wins the game he was outta gas so there was nothing to fall bacc on...
Which is what a coach should be doing. Praising a star player even if he made an error will not help the team. People learn from mistakes. Only a bad coach would not acknowledge the errors of their main player while knowing it.
@@umlbp The un-deviated offense they were running in the first half wasn't working because they were down by 20 points in the 3rd quarter. Kobe breaking the offense to have a chance at creating a spark in his teams offense was their strategy at maybe creating a chance to turn the game around. It just doesn't always work out but it's the game plan. Problem is they fell behind quicker than usual so they had to resort to more energy intensive measures with their best player at an earlier point than usual to have a chance at some of it rubbing off on the other Lakers during the game. Morale is a huge factor and the only way to raise it when your down by 20 in the 3rd is to make something spicy happen. We all know how spicy Kobe could get. RIP Mamba

One of the most accurate words I'll ever find to describe Kobe is pensive. Always finding a deeper meaning, always providing greater insight. Such an understated quality about him as a person, not just a player. Miss you forever, Kob'
Overall I think Kobe gave a great response to that.. It bothers me sometimes how reporters try to stir up problems with players and teams asking questions like that.
Yes and his first qudstion was "did u hear what phil said" and if kobe said no reporters question would be something like "u heard phil said u sold the game"

He responded the way MJ would have. There's no passive aggressiveness nor any malice in his words. Just telling it like it is, without disrespect his coach nor his teammates. He may be hard on his teammates, but he's speaking so responsibly as well.
He answered like MJ because he modeled himself after MJ, from the way he played to the way he walked. And why the hell wouldn't he have, right? I grew up an MJ fan and I never appreciated Kobe until he was gone. I was blind to not see his greatness, but great he sure as hell was.
@@albertomontano1225 Alright you gotta chill out with that. I understand Kobe studied MJ's GAME but to say he "modeled himself after MJ" is too far. I doubt Kobe crafted his ENTIRE personality after MJ. Kobe was Kobe. Mike was Mike. That's it.
Kobe was just taking accountability for the loss which is what leaders do. Lol this doesn't have nothing to do with MJ. I understand they have similarities but the constant comparison isn't needed. Kobe was his own person.
and he spoke chinese (not sure which dialect) and would do interviews in that language. Rare, rare, rare talent. It doesnt' make him the best, but he sure as hell is special
I love this video, and I still come back to it every now and then. Kobe was a pro of the highest caliber possible. When he was winning, he gave his teammates their flowers, and when the Lakers lost, Kobe took responsibility, even if it wasn’t on him. When his teammates fell short, Kobe would say that he had to lead them better. That’s a true champion and competitor. The Lakers for 2 decades were a reflection of Kobe and I am glad that I witnessed his career from the very start to its conclusion. Retirement should have been the beginning of something beautiful, but it wasn’t meant to last unfortunately. We all have our own expiration date, and most of us don’t have the curse or privilege of knowing when it will come. It still hurts to think about the day we lost such a legend, and family man.
Dude, I'm still wrecked from Kobe's death! Every time I see stuff like this, it reminds me of how special he was. His work ethic was UNRIVALED, his will to win is right there with Jordan and Bird. The more I learn about Kobe, the more I miss him... 🥺
Gilbert Arenas worked so hard and had no recovery that it ended his career. Isaiah Thomas was FORCED not to shoot any more in the off season because of he did the doctors said his wrist would break. Grant Hill came back after every doctor told him he'd never play professionally again. He worked like crazy to get back into the league. Yes, Kobe dedicated himself to basketball but to say unrivaled or unmatched is not true when I can continue to name people.
@@ChucksterOLove the same guy who scored 60 on Kobe? The same guy who Kobe called multiple times and said he should go into coaching? You're right. Laughable. My apologies.
@@HornPlayer02 Yup, that guy who NEVER WON A TITLE is much better than the guy who won 5 titles, all because he scored alot in ONE game against Kobe?? That's really sound logic... 😄🤪
but i think it more knowing phil, he did like to coach by saying something to media, so kobe knows him and doesn't take offense to it because he expects that
@@evanurbin8673 do you have dead relatives? for certain fans, losing someone like kobe bryant is as strong as losing a family member or close friend, let people grieve for as long as they wish.
@@evanurbin8673 We'll never get over Kobe's death! He meant so much to the world. Kobe Bryant was an icon and a legend. His death is like losing one of your family members
its so frustrating to watch your team losing when you posibly can do something about it, i understand why kobe did it. and he was so brave to admit what he does
Such a stark comparison to today's top stars who push the blame. People often blame Kobe for not being a great leader. However, in this instance, he tried to push and get his guys going at the cost of his energy, hoping and believing it would get them going. Although it ended in a loss, Kobe owned it. Unless players adopt his perspective and attitude on the game, the NBA will never be as great as it once was.
Lebron- “wow he said that? I just wanted him to be coach of the year. I wished nothing but the best for him”. Next day “phill Jackson has been traded to the Mad Antz”
@@RandySavagxe Well Lebron tried to trade Kyrie a couple times in the front office while saying the opposite to the media. How can you give him the keys when you are actively trying to trade him? Then he makes himself look like the victim to the media by making false statements about how much Kyrie meant to the team lol. Please...
I really really miss you dude... So many great memories Kobe. I’ll never forget the 9 autographs you signed for Christine and I for all of our closest friends. Thank you for forgiving her too, for rooting around in your Hallmark bag. I’m sure Vanessa loved that killer Valentines Day card you got for her in 07. RIP brother.... The NBA, just isn’t the same.
My mans always had the best response for every question, always spoke facts! Never wanted to take the L, wanted to win, win, and win! No matter what! RIP KOBE! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Idk man. Kobe received soo much hate back in the day. Watching his interviews and highlights now he really is looking more like the GOAT all the way around.
For real its something not talked about often but Kobe seemed to really be disliked by media and most fans outside of LA until the last couple years of his career. People look back like Kobe was always loved and adored by fans......
Dammit I miss him. It's been two losses in my lifetime that I'm still not over. Aaliyah and Kobe. You know people can't live forever but I still thought these two would. Such a huge part of my childhood. Growing up a Lakers fan and all those great moments. He was the reason I basically studied basketball as a kid when most were watching cartoons. I don't even watch basketball the same anymore. Just feels like an energy is missing.
Anyone could have done his job with that roster. Society is giving too much credit to do nothings who build their entire careers off of amazingly talented athletes. Without the athletes, he’d have nothing.
Man, we took for granted just how much of a leader and NBA legend Kobe was and just how much of a mentor and excellent coach Phil was. Legends. R.I.P. Mamba

@@SWard-oe8oj Well I was literally referencing the Simmons 76ers situation when I wrote this Brett Brown tried to get Simmons to shoot and he didn’t want to. 76ers used Brett Brown as the scapegoat and fired him Now everyone sees it’s Simmons fault but his coach still paid for it. But please get salty about a truthful comment I made
@@realmencry981 You used a blanket statement then backed it up with one example from the modern game, I bet the exact same situation happened in the past too. A star doesn’t play well, the coach takes the heat when he shouldn’t and everybody sees that it wasn’t the coaches fault but you had to talk about the NBA like with an old head attitude towards it.
@@ohaiOki lol why you getting so pressed? Is my statement still not true for a lot of players? Of course there a plenty of players today that would still take criticism positively, same way some players in the 90s, 00s would have been divas about it The difference is objectively we are in the social media age, everything gets taken out of context and reiterated everyday on tv shows, people’s achievements are constantly minimised etc You can have mentally tough players succumbing because of false rumours, edited soundbites and narratives Here’s another example, Kerr said he had more fun coaching the 2020 Warrriors than the 19 Warriors because of the outside pressure (injuries, expectations, etc) The media spun it acting like Kerr didn’t like coaching KD and KD got annoyed because of something taken out of context So my point is because of the era, coaches literally have to watch what they say about their players. And more players are being criticised since they’re teenagers (Bronny, Mikey, Emoni) they’re obviously gonna be more sensitive on average than someone from MJs era 90s, 00s players literally barely get criticism from anyone, imagine Shaqs sensitive ass in 2020 and what the media would say about him So stop getting offended acting like I’m calling older players “tougher”. They didn’t have to deal with the bs of today’s game, which leads you players being more defensive/sensitive If you disagree that’s cool, but hop off my dick when I wasn’t even addressing you, thanks man 👌
I don't know if the Lakers lost this game but... If Kobe wouldn't have takent he game "in his hands" in the 4th - everyone would be giving him a hard time saying: "Well... where was Kobe? He's meant to be our leader. He's the highest paid player on the team. He's the face of the franchise and he only took 2 shots when we're down 20 in the 4th?" People always find reason to give people shxt... if Kobe takes over in the 4th and he hits the game winning shot bringing them back from 20 or 15 or whatever - everyone riding his dxck... when he tries it and it fails... they say he should've passed. Make up your damn minds.
Christian Schaefer But you're talking about the difference between the perspective of a professional coach, and a casual fan that knows next to nothing about the game. He should be doing what's best to put his team in a position to win, regardless of the fan reaction, if that means following the game plan that his coach put out, that's what he should do. Unless you're saying Kobe knows better than pjax of course...?
I love how he basically takes a negative and owns it and pretty much turns it into a positive. He didn’t get offended and snippy, he took it and respected his coach verbally. We could all take lessons from Kobe.
To all my MS, HS, and College kids watching this. Learn how to take criticism like this and let your coach do their job. Don’t run to another school. Run to the gym to tighten up. We still you miss Kobe. 🙏🏼 #Mamba
His response was perfect, he took the blame and gave his reasons for why he didn't go with the game plan. Most players will get sensitive and start crying and start blaming others even though they were the main problem. That game Kobe knew he was the main problem and he acknowledged that.
@@awakentotruthmichaelsmith4698 Kobe laughed at the supposed rivalry between these close friends. When asked if he was better than MJ, he once said, "When you see me play, you see MJ. I got everything from him." Not necessarily true, but it shows some of the profound mutual respect they shared.
By “crank it up” he means put up shots whether they’re there or not, Kobe didn’t care about making good shots, he would attempt to but take the shot anyways, there’s a reason he’s got the missed misssed shots in NBA history and is only 4th in points
Great example of a player/coach dynamic. Phil criticizes his best player without disrespecting him. Kobe responds to his coach by educating the media and his newer teammates on the coach's coaching style. He responds to his coach by explaining to the media his reasoning for his actions in the game. He communicates with his teammates and coach by accepting responsibility for his actions not leading to success. Great communication on all sides.
Kobe’s insider description of how Phil “likes coaching publicly” is very insightful for us outsiders. Phil definitely uses the media and press conferences to send messages to his players. You gotta be both good and well-respected by your players to do that with the success Phil has.
as if they wanted what happened in CHI to repeat.......SMDH as if it was good for anyone or fans, Yet those same fans stan MJ and watch the 30 for 30 while acting like there werent under and overlying issues with "chemistry" or MGMT. As reality or documentation has proven. Leading to him not being a franchise player for CHI let alone pippen....worst part of it all. As if the MEDIA played no role in that equation Be it MJ/Pippen/kukoc/PHIL/rodman tbh. Yet want to reap in the affirmation bias
I love how Phil and Kobe were on the same page even if the reporter couldn’t comprehend it.
Reporter was trying to get a hot mike interview.... He thought kobe would go off..... Sucks to be him on that day....
Have you seen the woke “journalism” that’s been going on the last few years. No one in the media comprehends shit.

He responded the way MJ would have. There's no passive aggressiveness nor any malice in his words. Just telling it like it is, without disrespect his coach nor his teammates. He may be hard on his teammates, but he's speaking so responsibly as well.
He answered like MJ because he modeled himself after MJ, from the way he played to the way he walked. And why the hell wouldn't he have, right? I grew up an MJ fan and I never appreciated Kobe until he was gone. I was blind to not see his greatness, but great he sure as hell was.
His teammates hated him until he died kid.
@@albertomontano1225 lmao shut up. People like u are fake as hell
@@albertomontano1225 Alright you gotta chill out with that. I understand Kobe studied MJ's GAME but to say he "modeled himself after MJ" is too far. I doubt Kobe crafted his ENTIRE personality after MJ. Kobe was Kobe. Mike was Mike. That's it.
Kobe was just taking accountability for the loss which is what leaders do. Lol this doesn't have nothing to do with MJ. I understand they have similarities but the constant comparison isn't needed. Kobe was his own person.
He was always such a phenomenal interviewee. Knew how to answer intelligently but also not give more than he needs to
Kobe intelligence is so underrated
Looking back at all his interviews he’s given out so much free game
and he spoke chinese (not sure which dialect) and would do interviews in that language. Rare, rare, rare talent. It doesnt' make him the best, but he sure as hell is special
I love this video, and I still come back to it every now and then. Kobe was a pro of the highest caliber possible. When he was winning, he gave his teammates their flowers, and when the Lakers lost, Kobe took responsibility, even if it wasn’t on him. When his teammates fell short, Kobe would say that he had to lead them better. That’s a true champion and competitor. The Lakers for 2 decades were a reflection of Kobe and I am glad that I witnessed his career from the very start to its conclusion. Retirement should have been the beginning of something beautiful, but it wasn’t meant to last unfortunately. We all have our own expiration date, and most of us don’t have the curse or privilege of knowing when it will come. It still hurts to think about the day we lost such a legend, and family man.
RIP KOBE BRYANT I LOVE YOU MAN AND MISS YOU DEARLY NOW, THE WORLD IS HURTING!

Kobe heard what Phil said himself first. Even if he didn’t and the Media twisted the words as they did, He still would’ve had a similar response.
Dude, I'm still wrecked from Kobe's death! Every time I see stuff like this, it reminds me of how special he was. His work ethic was UNRIVALED, his will to win is right there with Jordan and Bird. The more I learn about Kobe, the more I miss him... 🥺
Gilbert Arenas worked so hard and had no recovery that it ended his career. Isaiah Thomas was FORCED not to shoot any more in the off season because of he did the doctors said his wrist would break. Grant Hill came back after every doctor told him he'd never play professionally again. He worked like crazy to get back into the league. Yes, Kobe dedicated himself to basketball but to say unrivaled or unmatched is not true when I can continue to name people.
@@HornPlayer02 Even saying "Gilbert Arenas" in the same sentence as "Kobe Bryant" is laughable in and of itself... 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
@@ChucksterOLove the same guy who scored 60 on Kobe? The same guy who Kobe called multiple times and said he should go into coaching? You're right. Laughable. My apologies.
@@HornPlayer02 Yup, that guy who NEVER WON A TITLE is much better than the guy who won 5 titles, all because he scored alot in ONE game against Kobe?? That's really sound logic... 😄🤪
@@ChucksterOLove Please point out where I ever said he or anyone I named was BETTER than Kobe. Please. I have time and I'll wait.
Kobe’s response is not only the mark of a true leader but one of a true champion. Anyone else would’ve taken it to a place it didn’t need to go.
but i think it more knowing phil, he did like to coach by saying something to media, so kobe knows him and doesn't take offense to it because he expects that
Kobe was always a great speaker....such a strong voice.
Emotional intelligence. Self-awareness. Perspective. This was a Master Class in all of those things!

Happy birthday Kobe. Definitely miss you. 😔
Such a stark comparison to today's top stars who push the blame. People often blame Kobe for not being a great leader. However, in this instance, he tried to push and get his guys going at the cost of his energy, hoping and believing it would get them going. Although it ended in a loss, Kobe owned it. Unless players adopt his perspective and attitude on the game, the NBA will never be as great as it once was.
Kobe always talking with such class and grace, I miss him dearly

Everytime I see his face my hearts breaks a little more, miss you GOAT you were a beacon of light and empowerment!
Jordan is not dead.
I really really miss you dude... So many great memories Kobe. I’ll never forget the 9 autographs you signed for Christine and I for all of our closest friends. Thank you for forgiving her too, for rooting around in your Hallmark bag. I’m sure Vanessa loved that killer Valentines Day card you got for her in 07. RIP brother.... The NBA, just isn’t the same.

My mans always had the best response for every question, always spoke facts! Never wanted to take the L, wanted to win, win, and win! No matter what! RIP KOBE! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Professionalism just oozing from these two. Kobe was my inspiration and will always be.
Idk man. Kobe received soo much hate back in the day. Watching his interviews and highlights now he really is looking more like the GOAT all the way around.
People won’t acknowledge someone truly until there gone.
🧢
For real its something not talked about often but Kobe seemed to really be disliked by media and most fans outside of LA until the last couple years of his career. People look back like Kobe was always loved and adored by fans......
🧢
@Al he a whole cry baby. I hate the fact he now a Laker
I like that he doesn’t overreact he just tells him this is how he coaches and it’s ok
Dammit I miss him. It's been two losses in my lifetime that I'm still not over. Aaliyah and Kobe. You know people can't live forever but I still thought these two would. Such a huge part of my childhood. Growing up a Lakers fan and all those great moments. He was the reason I basically studied basketball as a kid when most were watching cartoons. I don't even watch basketball the same anymore. Just feels like an energy is missing.
Phil Jackson was on another level. I’m glad MJ and Kobe were coached by him.
Yup - the GOAT whisperer...he even tamed Rodman pretty effectively
There are many coaches that would have e one with Shaq and Kobe. And MJ and Scottie.
Anyone could have done his job with that roster. Society is giving too much credit to do nothings who build their entire careers off of amazingly talented athletes. Without the athletes, he’d have nothing.
@@rosshewage6893 NO JORDAN TAMED RODMAN U DUMMY

Brett Brown tried to get Simmons to shoot and he didn’t want to. 76ers used Brett Brown as the scapegoat and fired him
Now everyone sees it’s Simmons fault but his coach still paid for it. But please get salty about a truthful comment I made
@@realmencry981 You used a blanket statement then backed it up with one example from the modern game, I bet the exact same situation happened in the past too. A star doesn’t play well, the coach takes the heat when he shouldn’t and everybody sees that it wasn’t the coaches fault but you had to talk about the NBA like with an old head attitude towards it.
@@ohaiOki lol why you getting so pressed? Is my statement still not true for a lot of players?
Of course there a plenty of players today that would still take criticism positively, same way some players in the 90s, 00s would have been divas about it
The difference is objectively we are in the social media age, everything gets taken out of context and reiterated everyday on tv shows, people’s achievements are constantly minimised etc
You can have mentally tough players succumbing because of false rumours, edited soundbites and narratives
Here’s another example, Kerr said he had more fun coaching the 2020 Warrriors than the 19 Warriors because of the outside pressure (injuries, expectations, etc)
The media spun it acting like Kerr didn’t like coaching KD and KD got annoyed because of something taken out of context
So my point is because of the era, coaches literally have to watch what they say about their players.
And more players are being criticised since they’re teenagers (Bronny, Mikey, Emoni) they’re obviously gonna be more sensitive on average than someone from MJs era
90s, 00s players literally barely get criticism from anyone, imagine Shaqs sensitive ass in 2020 and what the media would say about him
So stop getting offended acting like I’m calling older players “tougher”.
They didn’t have to deal with the bs of today’s game, which leads you players being more defensive/sensitive
If you disagree that’s cool, but hop off my dick when I wasn’t even addressing you, thanks man 👌
5 time world champion game high 81 greatest competitor ever

I meant game high for kobe and wilt scored 100, 52 years ago when people hardley knew how to play basketball
I don't know if the Lakers lost this game but...
If Kobe wouldn't have takent he game "in his hands" in the 4th - everyone would be giving him a hard time saying: "Well... where was Kobe? He's meant to be our leader. He's the highest paid player on the team. He's the face of the franchise and he only took 2 shots when we're down 20 in the 4th?"
People always find reason to give people shxt... if Kobe takes over in the 4th and he hits the game winning shot bringing them back from 20 or 15 or whatever - everyone riding his dxck... when he tries it and it fails... they say he should've passed. Make up your damn minds.
True as FUCK
+Christian Schaefer If you win no one cares how many shots you took in the game, if you lose of course tehy will bring it up.
Subutai Formula 1 KB24MJ23Ovi8 how's the LA traffic lol
Christian Schaefer
But you're talking about the difference between the perspective of a professional coach, and a casual fan that knows next to nothing about the game.
He should be doing what's best to put his team in a position to win, regardless of the fan reaction, if that means following the game plan that his coach put out, that's what he should do.
Unless you're saying Kobe knows better than pjax of course...?
For all the young players of today this is how you respond if you feel like your coach is singling you out true professional RIPKOBE 🙏🏿💯👑✅
I love how he basically takes a negative and owns it and pretty much turns it into a positive. He didn’t get offended and snippy, he took it and respected his coach verbally. We could all take lessons from Kobe.
I watched this whole video forgetting the dude passed, then at the end I realized. Shit is still unreal to me. RIP Mamba
To all my MS, HS, and College kids watching this. Learn how to take criticism like this and let your coach do their job. Don’t run to another school. Run to the gym to tighten up. We still you miss Kobe. 🙏🏼 #Mamba
Kobe takes accountability in failure what a champion
That is one “classy” response! RIP Kobe-you left an indelible mark on the game and we still love you…and miss you.
This type of bond, humility, dedication, understanding and mental fortitude does not exist anymore. The man is a dragon
Kobe had the best, most mature response to that. Always a class act.
His response was perfect, he took the blame and gave his reasons for why he didn't go with the game plan. Most players will get sensitive and start crying and start blaming others even though they were the main problem. That game Kobe knew he was the main problem and he acknowledged that.
Damn I miss this man. Not even an LA fan. What a genuine person he was.
The NBA will never have a Jordan/Kobe that is truly sad in today's NBA.
Yup yup true that ..

It was matched, in fact he matched the intensity of a guy named MJ
@@awakentotruthmichaelsmith4698 Kobe laughed at the supposed rivalry between these close friends. When asked if he was better than MJ, he once said, "When you see me play, you see MJ. I got everything from him."

By “crank it up” he means put up shots whether they’re there or not, Kobe didn’t care about making good shots, he would attempt to but take the shot anyways, there’s a reason he’s got the missed misssed shots in NBA history and is only 4th in points

“Crank it up” not “screw it up.”
This is why I loved Kobe. He was always going to do everything in his power to try to win the game. Even if the lead was huge he always gave me hope.
Greatest Laker ever
I swear Kobe was something else 1:18 this guy looking to kill his own teammates
Great example of a player/coach dynamic.
Phil criticizes his best player without disrespecting him.
Kobe responds to his coach by educating the media and his newer teammates on the coach's coaching style. He responds to his coach by explaining to the media his reasoning for his actions in the game. He communicates with his teammates and coach by accepting responsibility for his actions not leading to success. Great communication on all sides.
Translation: “Phil’s approach was working, I went to plan B”.
Lechoke James should take some speaking lessons from the Goat Kobe Bryant and Phil Jackson
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Kobe’s insider description of how Phil “likes coaching publicly” is very insightful for us outsiders. Phil definitely uses the media and press conferences to send messages to his players. You gotta be both good and well-respected by your players to do that with the success Phil has.
When a reporter is trying to set a franchise player and his coach against each other but God's like nah, not today satan
