I like Grahams interviewing style, he does his homework & lets his guests talk without interrupting them, plus he seem genuinely interested in them too!
ratso69ful one of the better interviewers!
Amen
It's still hard to believe that Kobe Bryant is gone! And in such a tragic way. RIP.
Kobe was so mature for his age
kobe was really honest in this..
I think he and Mike thought the same. That is why they played similar. Rip Kobe
To be Honest that because they did Michael Jordan had the Killer Mentality and Kobe Bryant took that killer Mentality and called the Mamba Mentality 💯
Mike: Be who you are...
Turns into Michael Jordan 2.0/GOAT
The advice Jordan gave Kobe resonates in many aspects of life
RIP Kobe 😭😭😭
The ending about the glasses and being a teenager, Kobes smile made me smile so big 😌
People say that Kobe copied MJ. And yeah he did copy a lot of his moves and stuff but can you blame him? I would copy MJ. He's the GOAT
and people say it as if its so easy to copy Mj lol, theres not any other player that has been capable of utilizing Mj's moves in his game the way kobe has to reach that level of greatness. Hats off to Kobe on that one!
When Kobe came into the league he didn't know Michael Jordan he grew up in France he was a Laker fan he watched the Lakers you didn't watch the Bulls
Zachary NC couldn’t copy the goat he wasn’t playing yet LeBron James
@@kirbyolsen5941 facts
@@coryburns1905 Kobe spent his summers as a child in Philadelphia. He went to High School in Philadelphia. His father was a pro player. Of course Kobe knew of Jordan. After the dream team, every basketball player in the world knew Jordan.
I think kobe misunderstood mj advice "to be me" and actually became mike😂
Arian Hamidizadeh hahahaj
MJ talking TO Kobe...he said "be you"..
Not really www.landofbasketball.com/player_comparison/kobe_bryant_vs_michael_jordan.htm
Arian Hamidizadeh Kobe was great but he was never mike
Arian Hamidizadeh
Hahahaha nooooice! 😂
Damn... hearing Kobe say that about losing in '08 is crazy to me. I had no idea his thought process was like that.
Rest in peace Kobe and GiGi 💔🙏
imagine if the lakers won in 2008 lol.. two 3 peats just like jordan. MANNNNNNNN
As long as Michael Jordan and His Bulls Team is around, there's no way any team could stole a Championship from them. They could have owned the whole 90s(starting 1991) Decade for goodness if not for His 2 retirement. A Real Dynasty would that be!
+itssandrew They had that 24 point lead in G4 to tie the series at 2-2....
thsu8 :(
Bynum would have helped pau got mauled by Perkins he needed Bynum and they probably take it to 7 maybe even win
they would lose to hakeem and the rockets in 95 in 7
sorry
dear god, a real interview for once :D
+BrotherO4 Thanks!
+Graham Bensinger good interview Kobe seems in a good mood
Graham Bensinger Your my favorite reporter! Pls respond back!
@@GrahamBensinger Hey, I used bits of your interview in this Kobe documentary I created czcams.com/video/oMP6lo-0vgo/video.html Would you consider sharing it with your channel? I worked an unbelievable amount of hours on it, but my channel is too small for the algorithm to recommend it. I’m also open to any suggestions for my next documentary.
All his interviews are the best. That's how an interview should be done.
Man... He gives some of the best interviews I've ever seen. I wonder why isn't he more famous...
Jordan speaking on Kobe’s memorial is saddening but validates their respect and love for one another like brothers.
"Maybe you'll go down one day, but today's not going to be that day" ... damn
Kobe legit seems like a nice guy. Almost every interview I've seen, he never acts like he doesn't want to be there. Always seems happy to sit down and chat. And I doubt the few thousand they're probably paying him for the interview is the incentive to stay interested, when he's most likely got $100m sitting in the bank.
Kobe is not a Nice guy sorry
RockSteady what an Internet gangster you are. I can bet my last penny u won't say this to my face. Bye
Wow, that qualified me as an internet gangster? Go to bed sweetheart, I don't think you're cut out for a CZcams comment section.
People don't get paid for interviews
That's NOT fair tho, he was pretty much calling Kobe an asshole.
Damn, you need to interview MJ..
MJ would probably demand a million dollars just for Graham to walk through his house, and then another 800K for Graham to interview him lmfaooo
People wanted to crown Lebron by 09' but Kobe was by far the best player in the league still at that point. 2010-11 you can argue the pendelum began to swing but you will never convince me Kobe wasn' the best player in the leage from 2003--2009 and on one of the best tears in human history pertaining to basketball.
Big Kobe fan but he was the best in the nba from 05-10 not 03-09
Hands down the greatest Interviewer.
"drove around for two hours"
lol in L.A. that just means traveling half a mile
@Jason Woah! Relax. Traffic sucks here, it's notorious.
And he got a helicopter to beat the traffic and...
You did very good job Graham.. Jealous that you and my idol look like best buddies
+mary rose Thanks, Mary!
1:31 MJ gave the same advice to Kemba Walker. Simple but powerful at the right moment.
Look at Kobe now..
An amazing interview! Getting inside Kobe's head like that, you really allowed him to let his guard down and be candid. And you let him do most of the talking. Loved it, thanks!
+snowmanwilly thanks for watching!
Kobe Bryant was asking Michael Jordan for tips on how to improve in the
middle of their game against each other, which shows exactly the amount
of respect he had and still has for Jordan and the fact that Jordan
actually gave him tips showed what kind of a player he is, and what type
of greatness he was passing on to the younger generation of players who
grew up watching and idolizing him. Two of the greatest to have ever
played, alongside Magic, and I'm grateful for what they have given to
this sport.
Lebron who??
You need to interview A.I. man. Its a great time to interview now because he'll be inducted this year.
Kobes a really smart guy, a good black athlete role model in my opinion. Just focused on himself and basketball.. I can respect that.
How come these interviews barely surfaced?
+PresidentGuevara We're just starting to put a lot of clips on my channel so hopefully it grows.... Thanks for watching!
@@GrahamBensinger THANK YOU!!!
@@Wyndamn no thank you for being a loyal fan
So many invaluable lessons throughout this interview. Graham you killed this!
+Michael Cortel Thanks, Michael!
This is amazing
Kobe’s win against Boston is so undervalued. He only had Pau Gasol and he faced 4 HoF in Paul, KG, Rondo and Ray Allen.
I've been watching these interviews the past few days or so, i'm impressed, nice work.
+ShadowLinkX thanks!
R.I.P Kobe 🙏🏽😢😔
I enjoy your interviews, they answer my questions.
Living legend!
We miss and love Kobe.
God bless his family, fans and friends..
Rest in paradise Kobe your truly missed 🙏🤎
great moment- R.I.P Kobe
You've got the best interviews out there! Keep it up!
I love you kobe and you will be forever in my heart and soul 💯🐐rip kobe bean bryant 💐
What a great piece of advice, GOAT to GOAT. Any rational person will question themself at some point, but to emerge from that questioning more confident than before, makes that same person very potent.
2020? Rip 🖤🐍
The Nikes he is wearing are the coolest things I have ever seen.
Great interview. RIP Kobe and Gigi
I was such a Kobe hater but after he retired and started open up about his career. I saw him in a new light.
I really enjoy these interviews, keep it up Graham you gotta big future 👍
+Albert Kayseryan thanks, Albert!
Perfect interview ! Great job !!!
great interviews!
Kobe Kicks🔥🔥🔥
preciate the uploads bro!!
Excellent interview
He still admire mj man look at the smile in the beginning
Great advice from the goat
rip kobe 😭
A lot of ppl copy ppl( it’s bn lykdat since since) but yu kan look at it az inspiration in ur lyf. Kobe learned a lot from a lot of ppl n it’s nuthn wrong with passing somn uno on to anothr. That’s what Kobe waz tryna do with the world. He really waz tryn to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN n it’s happening, ( hiz books, legacy, lyf, talk, heart, mynd, drive, waz positiv) it takes tym.Prayn a lot of ppl think bettr n not think erbody hating on yu jus bkuz yu disagree or dnt lyk. Supporting one anothr seems so hard for a lot of ppl to do, a lot of ppl wantyu to do gud sumtymz but not bettr than them. Kobe wantd to b the BEST ( it’s dun) he dnt brag etc., he’s soooo much inspiration to the world, we still hav Kobe bkuz hiz smart wrk will kontinue to help othrz all ovr the world. He did so much while he waz here & I thank god, hiz Mom n Dad for Blessn us with him. I appreciate Kobe and the Blessnz he left us🥰

This man is a great interviewer!
This dude the best interviewer
RIP Kobe 😢
MJ: Just be you.
KB: Just like you?
MJ: Yeah, I mean you, be KB.
KB: ...but, I wonna be you.
MJ: I know but you can't.
KB: I can always try.
MJ: Whatever...
L
not funny bitch
I know, rather, sad and true.
Since when was being like the greatest to do it a bad thing
Just remember ur life is shit and will never be anything like kobes hahaha there's some advice for u
oh those SHOES of kobe!!!
This crazy thing Kobe did was to oust Shaq under all kinds of criticism (I didn’t like him at all and liked Shaq) and I never heard him making excuses or acting like a punk about it, and he endured a bad season or two then gathered his pieces and went on to get his titles and such. Totally won me over especially after hearing his reasoning years later (which he didn’t bother explaining at the time).
He’s in that “greatest” conversation for sure.
rip kobe
best advise ever:
MJ: just be me
THAT EXPLAIN ALOT
❤️
Rip kob man
3:43, funny but true words🤣🤣
GOAT
great interview questions
Dammmnnn I bet he has the greatest story
People here are criticizing that Kobe copied Jordan. Jordan approved of it later on. That's why Jordan always said: He's like my little brother. And everytime they lean down to talk to each other, Michael gives tips on how to improve his game.
JayR Beterbo it’s funny how us hoopers copy alot as well, but tbh there are slight differences between kobe and jordans game
MJ was one of his mentors...
Kobe always ready to hoop
See too be great at what your do, a void will be created too other things, like family & friends.
But its lonely on the top amen!! it helps to grow to be 6'6 but no matter your size. its all about what you're willing to do too your body to be great and pray it holds up. It's a lot too this sport my body didn't survive it but i pass the knowledge to others. it scares people away but that what it takes too be great ask this guy in this video.
So every ball player I ask ( WILL YOU SET SCREENS FOR THE STAR, OR WILL THEY BE SETTING SCREENS FOR YOU!)
Its a real question, so only real people can answer that! THINK ON IT BEFORE YOU PLAY THIS GAME WORD TO THE MOTHER!!
Have fun but respect what ever you put your heart too, God Bless and always keep Jesus first in all you do!!!
R.I.P Kobe the GOAT 🐐🐐🐐 #laker4ever #8 #24 #hof
Ohhhh just be yourself, ok now it all makes sense. Just be yourself, genius.
Damn what’s with all the questions? More convo
Four HOF's on the '10 Celtics?
Garnett, Pierce, Allen and...... Rondo?!
yeah.. was thinking the same thing
Scalabrine
Rasheed Wallace
Doc
Doc probably
RIP Kobe Bean Bryant
Close your eyes and it's MJ talking
I get your point but what I'm saying is it wasn't his game, if he changed his game who knows if he would've been the same "killer". 5 rings, 81 points, game winners, all-time scoring list...I think we should just appreciate it but I get your point.
MJ doesn't want him to change his excellent the way he is..!
Can anyone tell me what shoes Kobe had on??
He should have more subscribers
+Diondy Roestam Thanks for watching... We've just started putting a lot of interviews up and we're working to grow the channel...
I remember watching those series and rooting against the lakers.. looking back at it I think kobe needed that 5th one against the celtics more than they needed it.. it was redemption and it put him one ahead of diesel lol.. plus I cant imagine p.pierce mouth after winning 2 in 3 years.. he already talk like they were a dynasty after the 1st one 🤣🤣🤣 ...shoutout the truth he was a monster... RIP Kobean
nba was really deprived of a great one- never getting to see lebron vs Kobe in the finals
it could and hsould have happened in 09 with LA vs CLE but ORL beat CLE, and it should and could have happened later with the LA with howard/nash/gasol/kobe- VS MIAMI with BRON/WADE/BOSH- but LA sucked.
having the two best - meet inthe finals- it would have been huge- rarely do we get that matchup. Russ/wilt, bird/magic, mj/magic,mj/clyde, mj/barkley- and each time - its an epic battle.
clyde drexler wasnt an all star that year, and this was the year after the 50 greatest ceremony, so i guess clyde just happened to be in the locker room? or maybe kobe was half sleeping and it wasnt clyde.
Clyde Drexler can do whatever he wants wether he's playing or not.
@@Wyndamn exactly it's fukken Clyde Drexler tf wrong with these little niggas
Wyndamn facts
Wrong picture at the draft day, he was drafted by Charlote Hornest :)
😇🌍😇♥️
2:18 the moment Kobe realized he would never pass the ball again
3 hall of famers
"Be a pass first player" 😂😂😂😂😂
Isaiah Watson lol
What advice did Mike actually give Kobe?
'Stay away from the Gold Diggers! They will ruin you!'
Kobe's covered answer to your question, Graham?
'Be Yourself Kobe. Just be yourself.'
***Every athlete and celebrity always gives the same answer...................'I just try to be myself. Be true to whom I am. Be real.'
His greatest interview was with patrick bet david
how does someone with 8k subscribers get kobe bryant to be interviewed?
+Demon Tail The show airs weekly on tv in national syndication. Check my website for where/when it airs in your region!
Graham Bensinger lol
Top 1 and 2 guards i don't know how to rank
Thanks for nothin Jordan. It wouldn't have hurt Kobe to pass a little more, especially when he had Pau on the team.
Kobe: maybe I SHOULD pass a little more... nah fuck it. Michael Jordan said to be myself. Imma gonna jack up even more shots.
Michael Huang five rings later lol show some respect
Scott M how many more rings could kobe have gotten if he was more of a team player?
Well maybe we should go another route and say how many less rings would he have won if he played different ?
Scott M I say he'd have won more. I've
Watched Kobe for his entire career and am a Lakers fan since 91. We all know he's his own worse enemy and could shot the Lakers out of games. How many free agents didn't want to play with Kobe basically because he's a big hog? We got to see some pretty historic offensive performances and I'm thankful for witnessing that and all the 5 rings but it wouldn't have killed him to have more of a passing game.
Clyde woke him up? Clyde didnt play in 1998 All Star game...
He may just been there ya know
He was a mentor.......
Then he woke up again..
The legend says Clyde was taking a big dump thinking he was alone in the locker room, then he noticed young Kobe on his way out and thanked God that he was sleeping.
vitorbastos123 a lot of players show up for all star weekend even though there not playing in the game.
Michael Jordan's advice to Kobe was to be Himself. But yet Kobe's career has basically been to be MJ
You're a joke, Kobe always wanted to be Kobe, stole moves from every basketball player, became way better than Michael Jordan, don't be jealous
Hash Moncrief jealous of what? I'm no match for him lol He had an amazing career and was an all time great but definitely not better than jordan. That's why ESPN ranked him 9 all time. Rip to a great player.
What kind of watch does Kobe have?? I’ve never seen something like that..
