      ScantsRants It’s like this with Matt. When he played for Orlando years ago, I noticed he was fiery as a player on the court. His behavioral stances wasn’t as live in Orlando at the time was it was when he became a full blown journeyman the rest of the way.
      When he played for the Grizzlies, that’s when I really pick up on his behavioral tendencies. Yes he had that fiery temper, but the guy is one of those no non sense guys who will put you on blast. When he did his first interview as a Grizzly, that’s when I noticed this bruh talks with some solid intel. I was astounded because at the time with Matt’s rep, lockdown defense, get in your grill, willing to fight, etc. When you get to see another side of a player, it’s cool to get to see that because it’s like a rare moment you get to see from players.

    As a lifelong Spurs and NBA fan, two takeaways. 1) I could listen to Kobe talk all day long about his personal interactions with MJ. Their connection, similarities, and differences are just so interesting and fun. And 2) to hear Kobe speak about San Antonio with so much reverence just means so much as a Spurs fan watching that rivalry for all those years. He contributed to so many amazing memories for each of those respective team’s franchises. They dominated the NBA for nearly 20 years. Kobe will truly be missed! #RIP

    Nobody will read this I’m sure, but I remember watching this after it came out, and then a few weeks later going on a work trip. My flight landed in Chicago 2 hours after the incident, so I remember walking off the airplane into the hotel lobby and seeing grieving and I didn’t know why. Until I saw a TV, which was showing the news.
    As a lifelong basketball fan (but not even necessarily a Kobe-particular fan compared to others beforehand) beginning to cry in the airport, because regardless of my prior fandom of the athlete (he was always beating my team, so that’s why I didn’t pull for him, because of how good he truly was), I was a big fan of the man, Kobe Bryant.
    This was a tough one. There will never be another like him.

    I love that Kobe didn’t do typical media stuff for Retired players when he stopped playing basketball (podcast on the game, sitting on a panel breaking down every game with current players, etc.).
    He was Kobe.. he had to navigate a new course and set a new path.
    Writing books for kids
    Won an Oscar
    Coaching kids
    And so many more projects he was probably planning that we’ll probably never know about.
    Paulo Coelho had come out and said he was deleting how far they had gotten in a joint venture of a new book because it was senseless without him now (the day of his death). I wonder how much more we would have seen from him.

Then I decided to turn on my phone, and when I read the news, my heart stopped. I never really cared when celebrities died, except for maybe a few, like Robin Williams for example.

    I finally got the chance to watch this today.... 15 minutes later, I learned Kobe Bryant passed away. I couldn’t believe it and I’m still in shock. Sad day. RIP Kobe B. Bryant.

    Rest in peace hero, finding you're CZcams highlights in 2015 introduced me to basketball and taught me about confidence. Words dont describe the level of depression you saved me from. Thank you Kobe.

    The way Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson where talking about Kobe is like, they knew that would be his last interview he would ever do it was a great interview and, I never get tired of watching it. 💯

    Kobe was special man. Transcended beyond basketball. Articulate, intelligent , and cultured.

    Ron artest and Matt Barnes used to be huge rivals of Kobe. Then they play for lakers and they became one of the best friends. That tells you something

      This quote from another player makes me think of Kobe.
      "Don't judge me until you know me. Don't underestimate me until you challenge me. And don't talk about me until you've talked to me."

    • @csklmf86
      @csklmf86 Před 4 lety +1

      The Jones Family I found that Kobe recruited Barnes, not artest. Well, it does not matter and I don’t give two shits. The whole point is they transited from hating Kobe to respecting his game due to his undeniable work ethics.
