That interview with him and Kobe was hilarious. “Who wasn’t keeping score?”-Kobe
😂😂 facts
Kobe was hella serious I'm Mac fan but Kobe gottem smh😂
im sure they played 1v1 and kobe won, tmac just doesn't want to admit it out of pride and im a huge tmac fan, tmac was my favorite player in the early 2001-03s when he and kobe would compete for the scoring titles
That’s the question.
Kobe passing at such a young age will never sit right with me. I feel like we were cut short with so many fascinating stories during his time playing.
It’s not fair at all. We just was. Getting to see him after basketball he didn’t even get the chance to talk about his past really..
You right, he's really missed in the basketball world
We were robbed of his HOF Speech too
Bro KG getting emotional so quickly to T-Mac’s story just shows how much of an impact Mamba had to those around him 🥲
nope KG was entire life like that its not an impact its called BORN DIFFERENT WITH HUGE HEART THATS WHY HE NEVER CHEAT FANS GIVE 110% EVERY GAME UNLIKE MANYPLAYERS. I RESPECT IVERSON GARNETT AND WESTBROOK CAUSE THEY PLAY EVERY GAME LIKE ITS LAST. KOBE TOO WAS LIKE THAT
@@PIP...33 Oh damn, my fault big bro. Learn something new every day. Preach 🙏
Seriously man. I’m a Lakers fan so I couldn’t stand those 08-12 Celtics teams but damn I love KG here. Seeing him get emotional when he was such a warrior on the court hits deep.
@@PIP...33 Yeah, they're highly emotional businessmen and filthy rich bitches now. Only great players with a backbone are not from the US anymore.
KG is a very emotional guy. He's like on a permanent MDMA trip
"kobe was not here to tell it but"... maaaannn got me choked up
I miss Kobe man, I would’ve loved hearing him on this new era of podcasting. Would’ve shared soo many stories and just gems to pass on. RIP Jellybean
It sucks because he was just starting to do that before he died. He went on Matt Barnes pod and Alex Rodriguez pod too. The war stories him and KG would’ve shared would have been amazing.
This is why looking at career stats doesn’t tell the full story. Sometimes unless you loved the era you can’t appreciate the player. This guy had a 5 year peak that scared the whole league
I got to see him destroy the bucks in 01. They lost but mcgrady nearly won by himself
I'd say T-Mac's 5 year peak is appropriately rated by the basketball community. It's essentially the only reason he's in the hall of fame as he never went deep in the playoffs.
10 year peak
Agreed, T Mac was the real deal
Injury was the ONLY thing that could stop this man!
These two plus Kobe is why I love basketball.
People forget how good T-Mac’s 5 year peak was. He was arguably Kobe/Jordan level at his 5 year peak, or at least almost Jordan level.
T-Mac was the prototype man. As a Raptors fan I'm sad we never got to see him and Vince grow together as teammates.
I randomly clicked on this video to hear the story about the trip with Kobe. Now, I’m crying realizing how much I miss him. I didn’t even get to watch him play (I’m recently getting into watching the game). However, hearing of the devastating news of his untimely death like millions of others I started seeing interviews, hearing stories, of him. He seemed like such a great man. To see what Gigi would have become ……😢😢😢. RIP Kobe and Gigi.
It’s okay we all are still heart broken over Kobe still..we have to keep him in our memories! He would want us to keep going with the Mamba Mentality
When Tmac thought he's just working out while Kobe was dead serious thinking it's a 1on1 😂
This man never gets his credit. Just an incredible player. Wish he would’ve came to the Lakers.
He get his recognition, but he was never the same after the injury. He was a shadow of his former self after the injury, yet prime T-Mac could have competed with any player. He was a sublime talent. If only he played today with the better treatment available for injuries, especially ones that used to be pretty much career ending ones.
Facts 💯
He gets his credit. Everybody loves T Mac just like D Rose, Penny, Melo, Iverson……..
@@Woofreestyle well he didn’t make it to the top 75… I’d say because of injuries
@@giants2k8 💯
Awesome interview, but it breaks my heart that Kobe couldn't be there to join in on the fun. RIP Mamba and Mambacita
damn my two favorite players growin up. I would always pair these two together with whatever team i started a franchise with.
I miss Kobe bruh was a killer man new generation just don’t know
RIP KOBE💔💔💔
Love seein the T-Mac content, keep it coming
You can tell they had love and respect for Kobe the way they smiling 😂 rip mamba
No wonder Kobe had a hard time guarding him
One dribble pull up takes insane athleticism. Your momentum is forwards then boom you come to a stop then push yourself backwards for a fadeaway. That stuff might not look explosive athletic but most ppl don’t realize how hard it is. That’s why you don’t see a lot of ppl doing it
Yup
Don't really need athleticism for a pull up dribble..more of ballhandling creating separation..more skill than athleticism
@Late Notice list players doing this besides superstars like Kawhi or PG? Lebron doesn’t even do this
@@vip53 you have never played bball
He worked on that eye too
Beautiful story.
So many times a vet is asked about a certain event and they aren't open with the fans.
This was different. Thank u.
And thanks for all the great memories and HOF plays. ❤
Man two of the greats man I love these sit downs
💯💯💯
How are you a great if you lost in the first round every year of your career?
@@thomascrowniii1693shut up THOMAS 🤣
@@thomascrowniii1693 oh idk it could be the multiple scoring titles, plethora of all star games, or the fact that he’s a first ballot hall of famer🤷♂️ but other than that idk why he would be considered “great”
Another badass episode 🔥
Kobe Tmac n kg made the nba fun after Mj retired . 3 of the best ever to play
And iverson too
@@stevencoardvenice Vince
@@simsingh8492 yeah the 2001 all star game was cool. Probably some of the most talent on one court ever. KG, Dirk, Duncan, shaq....
The talent in the early 2000s was unmatched it overshadowed some other great star players that were forgotten like Antoine Walker, Jamal Mashburn, C Webb, Baron Davis, Steve Francis, Marbury, and many more
@@Boe3 ray allen
Best interview KG’s done by far
T-Mac was pretty descriptive on his moves.
T Mac jumpshot on NBA 2k9 was lethal
2k7 to 9
i miss their era 😢😢😢
oh yeah im lookin forward to this one !
such a huge fan of both these guys, legends
some gems in this clip
T mac you were a truest raptor ... most skilled... I love your game as it was so unorthodox... shot out to kg!!! You were my favorite big man!!! You guys with kobe wouldve been one great dream team...
TMAC probably don't even know his card in 2k has been the GOAT card for years...
T-Mac one of them ones but my dawg don got hair implant 😂😂
Man shoutout one of my favorite players him and Brandon Roy UNSTOPPABLE
Theres a lot of gems here
RIP Kobe
2 of my favorites of All-Time!
I wish I know why T- Mac stopped working at ESPN he was so good there.
I think because of Rachel, they must be good friends
@@acpliego NOPE, TMAC WORKED ON ESPN TO ENTER HOF. HE NEEDED THOSE XTRA THINGS LIKE GRANT HILL BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAD ACHIEVEMENT IN NBA (BECAUSE OF INJURIES THEY DID NOT QUALIFY FOR HOF SO THEY KEEP WORK OFF COURT ESPECIALLY GRANT HILL)
@@PIP...33 chill with the caps lock bro you don’t need that to get your point across
@@PIP...33 interesting theory
@@himynameiscorey DERANGED CHILL WITHOUT FACTS LEARN FIRST BEFORE U TALK
Lmao at Kobe keeping score when it’s not a real one on one!!! 😂😂😅😂😅😂😅😂
Kobe's like "idk the score, I just know I won and it wasn't close." lol
I remember hearing the same thing about Kobe from Tatum, in that Kobe would say, "I never play pick up, not enough reps."
Thank you guys 100
I named my son Kobe not because I want him to play basketball I want him to be great in life
Three of my favorite players kg,🐍, t-Mac
T Mac was so ill
Kobe won that’s OUR story and we sticking to it 🤣🤣🤣🐍🐍🐍🐐🐐🐐
KG and showtime team, please get Vince Carter on one of these!
Wish he stayed in his prime longer. T-Mac was something special when I was in Jr High.
Injuries robbed us of some great players
Forever mama and kobe❤❤❤
White Tmac the best nickname/compliment I ever got when it comes to hoopin. This guy needs to share even more of his knowledge of the game. Even today with all these tall ass guys being able to do everything tmac would still stand out with his agility, skill, athleticism, and just smoothness. I never get why people say "underrated" and all that cause if you know you know when it comes to Tmac. Dwade my all time favorite but McGrady right there.
They only call you that because you cant go right.
@@bdww4072 I see what you did there lol but nah don't matter to me. To quote Mac "how do you want it"
Salute to you OG's Kevin Garnett and t-mac Tracy Mcgrady was a beast off the leash salute
Get VC on next!!! Talk about the dunk that happened in 00
I want KG to reenact his reaction after the dunk 😂😂😂
@@tylermitchell4883 nah he need to do that gp impression BOYYY YOU WHIPED YO WHOLE ASS WITH THAT ONE BOY 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Def had a t Mac Nike swingman (is what we called them in Philly, quality was between champion iron on mesh and Mitchell & Ness sown on thick fabric) back 2000.
Yeah, both Kobe and Michael loved playing mind games, and they definitely did that shit to opponents on the court.
My first favorite player 💙
Long Live The Mamba 🙏❤️
Rest Easy Mamba
ayyy I met both of them
Could listen to Kobe stories from these guys all day
Bean 🙏🏾💜💛🐐
where can i watch the full interview?
Full episode will drop today!
@@AllTheSmokeProductions dope
Kobe and MJ are the same. It's hilarious. Only those two would keep score on literally everything. Who got to the gym first, who made the most shots in practice, who came out victorious in scrimmage, etc. I love it though. Retired Kobe was such a father figure and something different was brewing out of that. It's just so sad we didn't get to see more of it because literally everyone started to respect his competitive nature.
both player play against with Kobe in their career , unbelievable
Man god bless the Bean. Would’ve loved to him and ticket chop it up on here 🙏🏾🐍🎟️
God bless? Dude was a satan worshipper bro lmfao
Alot of yall need to stfu and appreciate 2 OGs speaking 💯
The late great Kobe was wild 😂😂😂
Adidas legends
Brotherhood!
Seen that hair transplant is looking amazing
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Rip kobe🙏🏽😓still doesn’t feel right
T-Mac could put buckets on anybody. Orlando T-Mac is the best offensive scorer I’ve ever seen
T-Mac: "I never played pickup"
KG:"….......ever?"
This dude, man....
I saw them walking through Disneyland Paris back in 1998
Tmac hasn’t aged
T-Mac my guy✊🏾
This Duo works 💯 bye ✌🏾 Paul 😅
Tmac had that weed eye and lean eye 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂 nah I loved you in houston he was giving people the blues with no knees 🤣🤣😂😂 Yao ming too big time what ifs
Thats interesting. My right hand is like 3x stronger than my left growing up bc i broke my hand when i was 4.
So right hand dominant.
I forced myself to dribble only w left hand/ shoot w left hand.
It flip flopped my strength and my left hand became ball dominant
I wonder if T-Mac would have put that much effort into skill training if Toronto had pushed him into a starring role early.
I would say yes but unfortunately he was still over shadowed. Same with Chauncey. He played in Toronto too with Mac but it wasn’t the Chauncey in Detroit.
Kobe Kobe kobe
Tmac my favorite player fr
PG: LeBron SG: Kobe SF: TMac PF: KG C: Moses.. all time starting 5 straight outta high school. Pretty tough team to beat right there.
Would've been even better to have Kobe chime in too. RIP Bean🙏🏿💯
Top5 most talented player to ever pick up a ball
T-Mac and Kobe would average 50 a night against these bums in the NBA today!
Kob was a SICKO🤪🧏🏾♂️🎯😂🤣😂
How I wish they faced off in the finals
interview TIM DUNCAN.
Kobe dying is forever the glitch in the matrix 😢
how’s everything going?-you shared cool picture!goodbye~mate, 📢
Damn never played pickup in his prime wow
You look up smooth in the dictionary you gon see a pic of the big homie T-mac
this homie is so underrated. mac and ming coulda win
I like Tmac but dude never won a playoff series. That just seems impossible. People get on Dominique Wilkins for empty stats so what about TMac?
Legend has it on the same trip Dwayne wade realized he was a flaming f word
WOW what did was ever do to you lad?
@@raymondsims7042 he violated his own son. Wich makes him b word made. I don’t respect the agenda
@@Tacodip420 ahh ok I don’t really care about what he does with his family but I understand people who do
T Mac was the one guy that gave Kobe problems
Tmac remind me of will smith the way he speaks
TMac is much more chill & real than Will Smth has ever been imo.
Imagine him and Kobe on the same team
Never heard Kobe tell a lie. He even said his cousin has better skills athletics.
R u sure he wasn't emulating Jordan with that comment?
(Jordan has numerously praised his brother's game :)).
