I could listen to Kobe talk basketball all day
RATED R Just the way he answers questions is straight up truth. No doubt in his words just tells what he sees in a split second and never says ummm lmao
3:46 is proof Kobe could come back to the game in his own words.
Oldschoolhiphop yes sir
He can come back but even he said he don't want to be putting up less than 20ppg, I still think he can put 20ppg but that's all on him though.
Fact!!!
Love the respect between Vince Carter and Kobe Bryant.
The friendship between Kobe and T-Mac is better.
great basketball players respect geat players. they know the work thats required to be great
U right my favorite player is Carter
Kobe mad respect for Vince 👍👏
Vince is arguably greatest dunker of all time. Gotta respect
Mike1 TC he always did. They was gonna box. But he respect real players. Vince best dunker all time.
Thats because vince is greatest dunker of all time.. the GOAT
@@jamiekelly552 jordan
@@Rambo20244 nope its vince
Saddest part of losing kobe is all his knowledge is gone....
Certainly not, so many people emanate Kobe to the point of where they will carry on his game and you will get to see different future variations of Kobe, that Kobe himself might like. What we lost is knowing what he thinks about everything in basket ball after his death. Part of why we love the game is because long after you die, your play means somthing (baseball is my sport so lots of greats have been lost... some during their career) but as for the person, i could never place a value on our loss with Kobe the human. I know him as Kobe the artist. My heart goes out to all hurting from his absence.
You act like we don't have MJ, Dr. J, Magic, and Bird anymore either.
Remember, everything Kobe knows was stolen from the greats.
@@FOT2010 Wouldn’t say stolen. More like inspired by.
"Knowledge" seriously? That's the saddest thing? Imagine how his family feels.
@@theorignalmartian1261 Jordan disagrees with you.
At 4:05, Vince STILL has the SMOOTHEST windmill in the NBA. Effin insane.. Kobe keepin it real; he knows who the greatest dunker is..
Gerald Green has a better windmill...just sayin.
It'sme Josh Stop it
@@electricjoshaloo dude...u need to get off the crystal meth
It'sme Josh has gerald green ever done a windmill after jumping from a standstill, in the paint, after grabbing the offensive board, in traffic, though?
Gabriel Angelo Sanchez i saw that, that was fuckn nutz. Vince is the Goat for sure
Kobe Bryant, Shaq ,Allen Iverson, Kevin Garnett, Tracy Mcrady, Vince Carter, Ray Allan, Richard Hamilton. Rasheed Wallace, Ben Wallace, Etc man those was the golden Era after Micheal Jordan. Mad respect for Kobe showing love to Vince. 🙏👌
I miss that era
Abdikarim Ali I mean I know he was a year late but is it okay to put Jamal Crawford in that era or no
Yea the early to mid 2000's were crazy
Yeeeeessss
Chris Webber, Peja, mike Bobby, primr pau gasol, Yao Ming, jermaine O'Neal, amare stoudemire, steve nash, marbury, Michael redd, billups, ginobili and so so much more
0:55 tmac and kobe simultaneously say "it's easy to guard/defend". Great minds think alike
So sad that the era of such great persons and players such as T-Mac, Kobe Tim is over! We are missing you guys! For me NBA without Kobe is so incomplete!
Post Jordan era was the best. We got to see guys like Kobe, Vince, Tracy, Duncan, Nash, Wade, Bosh etc come in and dominate in the 2000s era.
@@FromUpNorth9345 besides kobe, and vince there are players today that are arguably better than the ones you listed lol.
Kobes dead now
@@ICeyCeR3Al Strongly Disagree
@@ICeyCeR3Al well aint nobody better than T-Mac in his prime. If it wasnt for the back injuries he coulda actually got out the first rd.
when Kobe says one player is not enough, it's not enough. He knows the best.
Tell that to Hakeem and Dirk.
He so Yammy and they both have 3 rings in total. Kobe has 5. He knows what he’s talking about
He so Yammy lol they both had help tho
@@hesoyammy9438 Hakeem had future HOF star Clyde “The Glyde” Drexler, future star Sam Cassel, “Big Shot Bob” Robert Horry, one of the best playoff clutch shooters ever, and Vernon Maxwell.
Dirk had Jason Kidd, a HOF point guard, Tyson Chandler, a multi-time DPOY, clutch shooter Jason Terry, who averaged 17.5 ppg in the playoffs, lockdown defender Shawn Marion and JJ Barea.
So yeah…they had PLENTY of help.
“That style of play is never gonna win championships” 👏👏👏
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
“With one player dominating the ball”
Finally someone said it. Props to Kobe.
James Harden style of play is like my 69yr old grandfather at the YMCA
Fanntottstic Why Kobe act Like he ain’t do the same tho.
Man I miss watching Kobe play☹
@gus gang die hard lakers fan here. Much respect to dirk. You are right watching kobe and dirk was a privilege
💔
R.i.p
Prime Kobe and Prime TMac would average over 35 ppg in today's NBA.
Maybe 40pts per game since hand check is already removed and MJ can score 50-60+ per game
It would be over 40pts per game.. Prime Kobe did average 35 points a season or 2 back n the day...maybe 35 one year and 33 another but close enough.🤔
Where are lebrons fans saying "IF LEBRON WANTS HE MAKES A QUADRUPLE DOUBLE PER GANE AND WOULD AVERAGE 60 PPG. HE WILL WIN 10 CHAMPIONSHIPS BUT FOR THE COMPETITION HE STILL WAITS FOR.PLAYERS TO PASS THEM THE TOTCH NOT BECAUSE HE'S TRASH RN"
Yup. Even Steph Curry would average 29ppg in today's NBA.
Kobe even did 60 on his last game 35 is a walk in the park
vince. Number one dunker all time!!!
I could hear him talk about anything but, especially basketball. His laughter so infectious, it makes you happy to know that he was very happy after retirement. Love you, Kobe today and always.
I love both kobe n tmac. My favorite players!
Prime Kobe, prime T Mac gotta love the early 2000s era of basketball
Kobe looks 25 wtf.
That's what happens when you eat right and take care of your body.
Baby blood duh(j/k)
....don't crack!
Zait Ovidiu he is black...
Nah, he definitely looks older than 25. Youngest he could pass for is 30 which for a 40 year old man, that's pretty good.
This interview is absolute gold.
Legends, thanks for all the memories on NBA Action
Kobe knows dunk contest right now is trash 🗑 💯💯💯💯
Ronj Riva not the ones with Zach Lavigne and Aaron Gordon won’t. This years I could’ve won it.
Demond Hickman yeah that one is good too aaron gordon’s dunk is creative and also zach lavine great match up for me and the other for me its all the same.. and i agree with kobe about that dunk contest reaction.. vince is the greatest dunker of all time i dunno who’s next 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Ronj Riva oh i definitely think Vince is the best dunker ever
@@Obstakill why the fuck ppl call him lavigne, are u dominicano?
Franklin Mcgrady Tejeda no, he lasagne....
RIP Kobe you will be missed ❤
The wisdom for basketball these two have..wow..
I love this from Italy thanks man 🤝🏽
these two are having so much fun talking bout b ball.. so fun to listen.. RIP .. Kobe!.
RIP Kobe ❤️❤️❤️ seeing this interview really hurt me
Vince Carter is the best dunker of all time . Half Man Half Amazing 🏀
Great interview every time I see it! But this does hurt very unfortunately now. RIP Kobe 🙏
First seconds Kobe speaking knowledge and Tracy saying ahaaa yup yeahhh yeahhh... pure Gold !
Kobe needs to coach. I mean it literally sounds like he remembers every single thing phil jackson said. Crazy skill and knowledge. Plus... Why Kobe look like he in superb shape? I remember he gained some weight. This man looks playoff ready.
@Dr. J stop projecting bitch ass nigga
P. Quinton he does martial arts and when you have that mentality you are always in shape
Kobe couching his kids, goof
💔😢😢😢
These two are legends. Being a huge fan of basketball it was an honor watching these two legends going at it, bringing their A game
Basketball isn’t the same with these legends gone
I love these era of players. Iverson, Garnett, Duncan, Kobe, Ray Allen, Shaq, Pierce, Yao, Payton, Carter, Kidd, Nash, Nowitzki, T-Mac, etc...
I remember watching so many regular season games as a kid. Basketball was so much fun to watch back then.
I loved this latest Raptors playoff run cause it gave me that old school vibe of a solid, rounded team beating the odds. Hopefully, next season will be great now that the league has a bit more parity.
The way they said "That's easy to guard/defend" at the same time shows how elite defenders these two players are.
T-Mac was never a good defender
Kobe, VC and Tmac are from the same generation. Respect.
Forever gonna miss this guy 😢😢😢😢
Kobe was spot on. Crazy.
4:15 "You're trying to take his achillies now" Damn T Mac is a fuckin savage lmao
Kobe is still in a good shape!!
Love listening to Kobe and TMac talk basketball
I was never crazy about Kobe when he was playing, but I love to hear him talk about basketball. He's really smart and would make a great broadcaster.
Kobe's eloquent AF!
That wasn't eloquent. It was normal conversation.
You're just shocked you didn't hear " Vince be like fire even though he be old, know what I'm saying?"
@@Tyrannosaurus_STFU_III in this day and age, I feel that they had perfect conversation, yap
@@FredericoRoberto I can't argue with you. I actually enjoyed listening which I can't do with 99% of athletes these days.
Speaks 7 different languages, so I'd be disappointed if he was terrible while speaking in English.
@@Tyrannosaurus_STFU_III weirdo.
Kobe and Tmac on the same team would have been Jordan and Pippen all over again.
Not even close. Neither play like Pippen and both shoot way to much at a low FG%. Two guys that love to shoot as much as they do would not work together
Nah Jordan could beat those 2 by himself
Never neither player has the defense of Pippen
Actually that not true cause tmac has stated before he would have focused more on Defense and sacrificed his offense for Kobe and Shaq. So I would have worked. Ppl sleep on the fact that tmac was a great defender. Kobe and Shaq we're also great defenders. I cant say how many chips they would have won. But I think 5 in the first run would not have been out the pix. Why cause tmac has also stated that he would have been the mediator in the fued that started between Shaq and Kobe and he believes it would have never happened if he was there on that Lakers squad. Jerry West almost pulled it off. Lakers would have had a tremendous dynasty
Naaa
RIP Kobe!!!
*Back in 2001, I got to watch Vince Carter show off during pre-game warmups. He did a bunch ov dunks n tricks, n he even came right over to the group I was with on the sideline, looked at us n smiled n no look hooked a 3 from baseline!!!! He put his "shush finger" to his lips laughed n danced around. It was such an awesome thing. Glad he was a Sacramento King fer a season. Lotz ov respect fer Vince!!!!*
Kobe and Tracy on the same squad wouldve been nasty af! #nutty
RIP to a legend
3:50 This "the love is gone" from T-Mac makes me so sad and in the same moment I can understand him so much.
This was nice thanks
Kobe Bryant.....my man...one of the greatest to ever done it
2 Legends of NBA, Not some self proclaimed Goat like Bron..
You know you are a loser when you bring Lebron up in a video that has nothing to do with Lebron
Regardless what people think Lebron is the goat of his era
@@jeremiahbenisrael7505 of this era but not of all time..
@@jeremiahbenisrael7505 "goat of his era" is completely illogical. GOAT = Greatest of "all time" means all eras. lebron is no goat regardless of your opinion
Lol you gonna respect lebron. Lebron is like the second best behind MJ
This made me smile.. 🥺
i miss kobe, giving advices to players and to the future of the nba..
It’s crazy because they said easy to Guard at the same time lol
2001-2008 Kobe and T-Mac would win 7 straight together.
Lakers wanted to draft tmac
Stylistically they would play terrible together
That's what you probably said when they had Karl Malone Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant
Are you forgetting about the San Antonio Spurs team in that era?
Karl Malone was 40 years old then. He missed most of the season when he came to LA
never heard kobe talk till just now man this guy would make a great analyst .
I love them both!
Kobe kept it so real about not being able to beat Vince Carter even in kob prime in dunking off course Kobe was the better player but Carter was the better dunker....
what is the sentence Kobe exactly say when Tracy asked him about him and Vince in the dunk contest (before Kobe said he will not let Vince beat him)
@@autumnwind999 at 4:40- 4:45 he said to tmac I enter into things l know I can win.... cmon now we know who was the greater player Kobe all day but dunker Vince was better than Kobe & mj at dunking that's just facts I've said it all my life from watching it & trying those dunks in lower goal like 9 ft just the fact Kobe ego wasn't too big to admit he didn't want to see Carter in a dunk contest was real humble but it also is a fact still doesn't change that Kobe & mj were greater players overall tho....
Thank you bro. I can’t agree more with you , Vince is the best dunker of history of mankind . Period.
@@autumnwind999 I don't know about mankind but as far the NBA go yea he a top 3 dunker of all time if not the best #1 of all time as far as the nba go jason richardson with gsw in his prime, or zach lavine are probably the only ones I a say would give him a run for his money far nba... but the professional dunking world/ street ballers is a whole another beast those guys are really doing NBA street dunks in real life jordan kilganon, j clark the jumper, jus fly, kenny dobbs are just a few...
@@souljamakinbread08 Dunking is more then just freestyle dunking. Vince was also the GOAT IN GAME dunker too. J-Rich and Lavine are not even top 50 in game dunkers. Also Pro dunker record all their best dunks. Vince would have an insane dunk reel if he was always recording his practice dunks
Considering the pathetic contest last night yeah, vince would have won even at his age now.
No he wouldn’t have
It was petty fun tbh
it was good
Love Vince but that dunk over Shaq with arm in the rim was sick and a good tribute to Carter
@@TheAnonapersons Well, Vince Carter jumped over weis, who was 7.2 tall, and weis was standing more away from rim than Shaq. And this was inside game. And Vince can still jump high, he was doing jump test at 2018. He just jump less inside game nowadays, cause he wants to keep his knees allright. Cause like he said, it´s not hard to jump high, it´s the landing that´s bad.
This interview makes me miss Kobe 😢 even more so. He enjoyed the game and knew when to hang it up not because he had to but because he chose to on his terms.
#MAMBAMENTALITY
Kobe loved seeing T-Mac show emotion !!!
R.I.P. K&G 🙏🏿🦋🐐💜💛😞
Vince Carter Contest will still be number one even after 100 years
Hanging off the rim at his elbow..I'll never forget that
Kobe speaks, I listen
Loved to watch these two check each other!
Great interview, KB was a great player his last game was ridiculous
Kobe is right about Harden & The Rockets. They will not be championship contenders with Harden's style of play. He doesn't involve anyone.
CoWizzle Facts Isolation type of play isn’t enough
I mean they can make it far in the playoffs but the finals is where they would get their heads knocked off
Yh because he knows that himself after what happened in 2004
Gotta Keep It Movin' it’s so funny tho cause he did the same thing💀
My favorite basketball player T-Mac
Love this !!
Love the ending. They 110% have a chemistry!!
Thank You Kobe!! Ive been saying the same thing get Vince in the contest!! He will school of those kids💯
“You know great players don’t make good GM’s.” Kobe would have been one of the exceptions. RIP Great One.
Hence the popping of his collar, yeah he would of ruled hard.. all that resources gone.. bless gone round
Kobe ,Mac , and VC ! My fav always
Great conversation!
Kobe MJ Vince Carter would dominate the nba ic they were in the same team
And Lonzo. 😁
u need 6 balls
Eson Chow 😂so true
Yeah....no. You don't put 3 shooting guards together and expect them to dominate. Vince would turn Passive and turn into a spot up shooter, Kobe would be despite to show he is better then Jordan and be shot jacking stupid shots and Jordan would lose his mind over Kobe's chucking and Carters passive play. Stylistically they don't work. Something well balanced like Jordan, Duncan and Klay would be much better
kobe said u wont went championship with one man dominating the ball 🤔🤔
DB GoodGreen he wasn’t a ball hog look at them stats
Legends talking about a legend. Awesome!
Rest in peace Kobe. Vince was my favourite player growing up. I hope your heavon with your daughter by you're side. ♥️
Kobe speaking on some truth about James Harden's game. Really accurate with James missing from the Warriors game and Chris Paul took control and came away with the W. #legendsspeakingfacts
I had a dream that Vince Carter would grace us with his long awaited return to the dunk contest for a final hurrah in his retirement year... sigh -_-
It's gonna happen
Goosebumps.
Rest in peace I still love him to this day. Life is what it is but man I wish he was alive.
I love Kobe
That Nike x Majin Buu sweater is fuego!
I cant find that anywhere
@@skeptical__x, Kobe exclusive
😂😂😂 is Vince Carter a human being? Or extraterrestrial? Full amazing, no half man.
Half man half extraterrestrial
2000's Legends Respect!!!
Word. I'm not a ball head at all but the way Kobe speaks, I could cross reference with video games, fighting etc.
Can’t disagree honestly he still does crazy dunks in my he pregame last year he did 360 under leg in warmups but I would like to see a 40 year old man whooping suckas
Holy smokes, Tmac and Kobe on the same squad would have been match up nightmare for anyone who went against them
Stylistically they would play terrible together
Except Mike and Scotty... No issues there. Kobes "D" was always suspect. Mike's never. Kobe isn't stopping Mike, Mike can stop Kobe.
T-Mac couldn't handle Scottie or his D. That's historically proven..
@@Tyrannosaurus_STFU_III Except Kobe actually did stop mike before. T-mac in his prime most definitely could handle any D unless it's Kareem and Shaq both double-teaming him at the same time. Remember, 13 points in 35 seconds....and 81 points a game. Not saying they would wipe Mike and Scotty, but it sure as hell won't be an easy one for Mike and Scotty.
@@andycarollsuarez no, not easy. But having watched each one of them from day one and understanding their games. Mike/Pip are the superior duo in this scenario.
Yeah, 81 can't take that away. But I'll put Mike's 63 on the Hall of Fame laden Celtics in the playoffs over that. Kobe would never drop 81 on Mike. Never.
Tmacs 11 in 30 was amazing. But he didn't play like that all the time. Never made it out of the first round.
@@Tyrannosaurus_STFU_III Not taking anything away from Mike and his 63 points, but Kobe had the 3 point game that Mike never really had, and that will be a big advantage for Kobe. Also, kobe most definitely can stop Mike, not all the time but to a certain extend, and it would be the same same for Mike against Kobe as Mike has better defense but Kobe has a wider and better range of offense as well. As for T-Mac, yes he never really played like that all the time, but maybe with kobe around spreading his mamba mentality, T-mac would have been more consistent. Who knows. One thing's for sure, a team with Kobe, T-mac and Shaq together would be fcking ridiculous.
20+ years and people are still reflecting back on VCarters dunk contest, in it’s full splendour, his grandeur performance was God like! even that commercial he made literally was a butterfly 🦋 in motion.
I was blessed, and honored, to have been born at the right year, to experience Larry, Magic, Isaiah, MJ, and Kobe win championships. To see T-Mac, Vince, Allen Iverson play…We really took this stuff for granted. 😥 #RIPKobe

TMAC LMAOOOOO 😂😂😂😂 “now you trynna take his Achilles”
If you take all the best dunkers from the past till today Vince Carter will beat them all.
Prob so..but remember how viscous Shawn Kemps dunks were...
R.I.P Kobe
Love Kobe, hope one day he will be the Lakers coach. Can you imagine having him on the bench?
KOBE AND TMAC WOULDVE BEEN A GREAT COACHING STAFF😇
Kobe has the greatest mindset of all time
That would be because his father gave him so e insight speaking of Jordan
@@Daftchild89 duh that's why it happened
@@Daftchild89 didnt wanna see kobe as the G.O.A.T
To see these two greats dissect the game is something else
Was in LA on Friday...couldn’t believe the atmosphere. If you don’t live in SoCal you don’t even get it...the hit laker nation took is crazy....every where around the city, even cranes at job sites in the city have jersey of #8 and #24 on it. Rip to my goat he will never be forgotten
LeBron's groin pain to kobe's Achilles tear.. 🤦♂️
Kobe and TMac on the same team! Smh
Could you imagine!
Basketball is ok now, to me. Miss these guys playing!
Two shot jackers on the same team? That would be terrible stylistically. Their ego's would clash too. T-Mac left Toronto to get away from Vince having all the offensive attention, but you think he would play good with Kobe haha?
Kobe is a legend
Kobe🥺
