8 was a young bull who went out to prove a point and took the reigns of the league by storm. 24 was a well calculated seasoned cerebral assassin.
@Aldijan3rI’m gonna pray for you brother Your worshiping a false god
24 would not have won without PJ and Fish coming back…he could be too cerebral foe the wrong reasons … (when it comes to winning wars instead of little battles)
Well F***en said !!!
the glaze of another grown man
world is a scary place and these two @ayeitsjay883 and @malikmoore8062 is proof of that
i could listen to these kobe stories forever.
frl
U and me both brother
Kobe IS forever 🫡
Swear it seems so insane like how bo Jackson story’s are
I am definitely naming my kids ... after him ... I am glad and blessed to see him play ... #24
Kobe already said the biggest difference between 8 and 24 was that 8 could grow hair. 😂
@@Aldijan3r That is a lie. Yah is the way. The word hallelujah literally means Hail Yah. Stop spreading false religions
@@traedajokerthey cousins
The same angel that came to Mary is the same angel that came to Muhammad.
Yah says lean not on your own understanding, and all three religions that follow the God of Abraham and also believe Christ fulfilled the gospel, are fighting because of their own understanding.
When in reality, they worship the same God and are arguing over the prophets smh
@dereckallen1856 yep Muhammad read the bible and his visions were meant to confirm christian stories from the bible. And a lot of stories used in the bible came from thousands of years before Egyptian times etc. Just an evolution of fairy tails
U😂
For the most part we all got to see Kobe in our life.. but they talk about him now almost as like a mythical being.. thats how special he was.
He was just a volume shooter. A less gay dwade
And yes him and dwade have almost identical stats
We're a joe CULTure in 2024 tbh what doesn't have a comment under it saying it's one of the greatest things ever or underrated
Imagine if Mj passed away a few years after he retired, we never even got a hof speech its a tragedy
@@anthonyassante1928Kobe > D Wade stop the cap
K Mart woulda been a great Kobe teammate
He doesn’t like Kobe if you listen to his past interviews
@@Boston_CremePie im sure anyone who competed against kob didnt like him cause he was a killer but i guarantee you they respected him
I agree 💯
@@Boston_CremePie mostly because he always bounced em in the playoffs 😂

Gil a solid dude! Always holding Kobe in the regard that he rightfully deserves! Salute 🫡

Like what u did there
Dedication was better lol

Facts
Gil got the best kobe stories/takes no cap
Gil breaks down the mindset of Kobe like no other. He's spot on.
Jesus is King and he loves you, receive the gospel and repent 🙏
He understands the thought process
8 was clearly the better player. He had everything. And that was pre injury Kobe. The numbers speak for themselves but the way in which he got those numbers was incredible to watch. The 2001 playoffs was probably his best run. Averaged 35 against Sacramento in four games. Averaged 33 7 and 7 against San Antonio in the western finals. Scored 81, scored 62 in three quarters against Dallas, number 8 may possibly the best player in league history in terms of offensive output. His nine straight games of 40 plus was also as number 8. 24 was well polished and somewhat of the final product but number 8 was an assassin.
I get teary eyed thinking of Kobe.. he is truly the Goat!! Maybe numerically it doesn't reflect that but skill for skill one on one he's unmatched
Jesus is King and he loves you, receive the gospel and repent of your sins🙏
Kobe getting 2 status with each number 😊 and a 3rd statue with him n his lovely daughter. Best choice the lakers organization has made in prolly over 15 years.
24 Kobe was just different! 24 wasn’t about no games at all
Real kobe story: when he faced and guarded splash brothers, steph and klay were raining 3’s on him. Kobe said “ these mf’s different”.
yeah kobe was 36 they was in their early 20s@@markwatson3766
That’s a double negative, sir.
Life long Kobe hater 24 made me realize I love Kobe even when I was hating he was dominating
Facts 24 didn't play around at all.
I respect gil for always bringing up Kobe and respecting him and giving him his flowers
Jesus is King and he loves you, receive the gospel and repent of your sins🙏
Gil be acting jealous of Kobe
8 was an athletic phenom and was much more aggressive. Similar to a young Westbrook. 24 more refined, skilled and calculated aggression. Like a wildfire vs a finely focused cutting laser. Both deadly.
Gill a true student of KOBE….Nobody speaks about KOBE like him for me(sounds like me talking to my homies)
Wrong
First of all, someone tell Gil that both numbers are already retired.
Second of all, the statue has the number 8 on it. And allegedly it’s the one that Kobe wanted.
3rd of all, 8 is when he went through all the legal stuff. He changed his number AFTERWARD to “turn the page” so to speak.
@CedRockStarr I think he knows both numbers are retired. He's reflecting on the significance of those numbers, trying to guess which one will be on the statue. Keep in mind that this video was recorded prior to the unveiling of Kobe statue.😮
I could listen to kobe stories all day, I'm just thankful I got to watch him play.
Kobe was gangsta. I love that dude and I NEVER EVEN MET HIM IN REAL LIFE. Crazy what kind of impact this dude had on the world
Gil said it PERFECTLY word for word!👌🏾
There's obviously a lot more to it but 8 had a 'who does he think he is' swagger. 24 was 'he's Him, that's who tf he is'.
that story from AD, now we realize KOBE was just DIFFERENT!!!
Jesus is King and he loves you, receive the gospel and repent of your sins🙏
It was funnny to hear Anthony Davis in leopard pants talking about how inspired he was with Kobe playing with dislocated labarum
love when they spend whole segments just telling Kob stories 🖤💜💛🐍
To hear the way actual players talk about Kobe… I don’t understand how Bron is better
Way I see it Bron has all the tools, and definitely some of that killer instinct. Kobe didn't have all the physicals (small hands, smaller frame etc) but he was a controlled psychopath. If Bron had that real Kobe mentality combined with his physicals and playmaking ability there'd be no doubt he'd be better than MJ.
Because born still playing he ain’t retire or 🪦 yet so won’t hear players give him his flowers until he’s gone or retired. Nobody talked like this about Kobe until he passed and that’s facts go back before his death you won’t see nothing besides he was a great player
Just wait til Bron retires

@@Footagepro363
@@Footagepro363absolutely false. There were stories from Antonio Daniels, Jim Jackson, Iverson. There is even an CZcams video that is like 40 minutes long by golden hoops I believe with great players talking about Kobe a lot of it is before his death
Gil break downs are brilliant..this Cat is a hit no matter what he does..much respect
Early 24 was perhaps the most skilled player of all time
Absolutely not. He was great mostly because of his will and mindset.
@@jonb2756 I didn’t say greatest player but the most skilled. Who else can make turnaround 3s with their left hand. He had an endless bag back in the day, you must be young
@@johnathanmonday I didn't say you said anything about the word "great", bozo. What I said is what made him great was his will and work ethic, and not his skills. You should learn how to read. He is undeniably not the most skilled. There are plenty of players with more actual skill. Steve Nash is a way better shooter, way better ball handler, way better passer. Imagine being such a child that if someone doesn't agree with you on the Internet you call them young LOL. How embarrassing for you.
@@johnathanmondayyou must be young as well you CLEARLY never seen any Jordan from 88-93 lmao Kobe was cold my second favorite player but Jordan was more skilled..
@@WADESGOATED Jordan was just more athletic and stronger. YOU must not know the difference between skill and talent buddy.
Kobe 8 was like Me Against the World n 24 was like All Eyez on Me etc...
Is it embarrassing for you that you 100% stole this comment from a response on the top comment that was two hours before you?

Love this. I stop watching basketball since Kobe Bryant pass away. The game isn't fun anymore without him and the game hasn't been the same since.
As a Lifelong Laker Fan…. Denver Nuggets Kenyon Martin guarding Kobe was must see tv. No 2 guard has faced a tougher defender
You know your a different type of SG when you got bigs guarding you

8 was college dropout, 24 was my beautiful dark twisted fantasy 🐐

Kobe my 🐐 look how they speak about this man he top 3 all time
Jesus is King and he loves you, receive the gospel and repent of your sins🙏
I love this game! Kobe was one of my favorites to watch.
With his mindset, a prime Kobe would score 100 in a game in this era.
I’m not even talking about his skill level.
Just his mentality.
I’ve never been a fanboy, I’ve had my favorites over the past generations, not all were all time greats.
It was more how they played the game, the will to win, out working everyone else and always working to improve their craft. Kobe from that regard ranks in my top 3.
MJ
Bird
Kobe
simply ranked their mentality and love and respect for the game.
You like Westbrook like i do?
The difference between Kobe and Mike is natural talent vs hard work. Jordan had the highest vertical in nba history. Kobe’s vertical is mid. Kobe got where he is based on confidence and hard work. Jordan shot dice until 5 am and was just the best.
naa you can't discount Mike's crazy addiction to competition, and used his ability to do so, kobe wanted the same thing but to get there he had to work 10x harder and the fact that he took that challenge on let alone succeeded at it, crazy...
Kobe was just better than Mike...
@@ezekwuat what? lol
Seriously🤦🏿♂️
The only difference between Jordan and Kobe. Is Jordan was more talented. They are the most competitive players that ever played. They had every move in the book.
That Great 8 was ruthless
8 was nasty as a kid I remember he was always yamming that ho on everybody
Ruthless in Colorado hotel rooms
80 ain’t lying. It’s footage of Kobe with his arm broken right in front of him, Kobe hits like a 15 foot one arm shot and AD was really looking like he saw a ghost
Jesus is King and he loves you, receive the gospel and repent of your sins🙏
Ephesians 2:1-10
"As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh[a] and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. 4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions-it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."@@user-eo7df6mg9x

Jesus is fake . It’s a stolen African story
I always wish Kmart played for the lakers. One of my favorite players ever
Used to hate the Lakers in the early 2000's when Shaq was still in L.A on the team. Wanted the Kings to beat them so bad in (2002 West Finals). Never became a Lakers fan, not one till this day. I became a Kobe Fan after two things though. When Kobe went through his court case in (2003 - Colorado) and won the case and they found him not guilty. When Shaq was traded to Miami Heat in (2004). Kobe started to go on his road to redemption after Shaq left and he became the leader as (#24) that he never was as (#8). Read articles in magazines and online about Kobe's upbringing and how he was isolated as kid and didn't fit in with the crowd at school as a kid. I started to relate to Kobe's story and that's what made me a Kobe Fan 20 years ago "04".
After all that, that’s why you’re a KOBE FAN😬
Bro gill be killing me 😂😂

@@user-eo7df6mg9x amen my brother Jesus is King
@Aldijan3r no thank you brother I have already been baptized in the name of yeshua AKA Jesus.
When I was much younger we all came up with the idea that he was 24 because MJ was 23 and he was the Next one up. Therefore 24 comes after 23

Hey Gil, you're the best sports commentator ever. Always accurate and unbiased in your analysis. Love you man
BJ was right about that night @ MSG Kobe did score 61 pts & it was the same game he did that ridiculous spin move ! I remember it like it was yesterday, the entire New York crowd gave him a standing ovation & no Gil your wrong they won that game
8 was that wild pitbull off the leash and 24 was the polished experienced German shepherd
Yeah 24 was so militant
8 in Colorado was DIFFERENT

@@Aldijan3rnobody cares. Stop commenting this BS on this video
Apparently ppl do care, you too. You just don’t like the comment lol.
Gil was fun to watch man. Work ethic was off the charts.
Jesus is King and he loves you, receive the gospel and repent of your sins🙏
The Lakers vs Knicks game Gil was referring to was the 2005 season. Kobe had hit a game-tying 3 to force overtime. And then at the end of overtime, the Lakers were down two and Kobe passed it to Luke Walton who then immediately passed it right back to Kobe in traffic under the basket and they didn't even get a shot off. And Kobe bounced the ball hard on the floor in anger since the clock had expired. It was 2005. Kobe with 30 points.
Kobe stories are the best
I love how Gil and these guys are keeping Kobe's legacy alive. People want to downplay Kobe, but when you actually have real basketball players that played against him tell you that he is different just like how Jordan was that's a more credible source of the information then the casual fans
February 09. I remember that game.
KG had the best analysis on 8 and 24
💜Kobe💛 8/24
8 was the student with all the athletic prowess, 24 was the teacher with all the basketball skills
This goes beyond respect into reverence. When your peers speak on your name like you’re not flesh and blood like they are, that’s when you know you’ve made it. Only two men in the NBA in our lives gained this reverence. MJ and Kobe. Kobe > lebron
for me 8 was more fun to watch with shaq. I miss those late 90’s early 00’s. Hell time flies
I gave my best man speech at my brothers wedding reception and I used one of kobe greatest quotes that I love SAME ANIMAL DIFFERENT BEAST I love that RIP KOBE BEAN BRYANT aka BLACK MAMBA
@jamaalMills. This the Realist Shit Right Here!…Ur Words are Accurate Like Kobe’s Jumper!…U Spittin’ Homes!…🙌🏼🗽🙌🏼
24 Kobe was my favorite one
Kobe was the last of the warriors of the NBA, we won’t see it again in our lifetime…not with the current state and direction of the NBA. Dudes want to be gifted greatness instead of working for it.
I didn’t know Matt Barnes had a “back yard” podcast. Am I reaching or does that mean what I think? 😂 😂

@@JQUE94 Whoah… say what?
Jesus is King and he loves you, receive the gospel and repent of your sins🙏
I love Kenyon's point about doing the work. I once worked in a clinic run by a former Military police officer. Could his verbal delivery be nicer, sure. But he wasn't wrong. Every critique, every thing he said you fell short, he was dead on. So you either stepped up your game and took care of the patient or get the f@#% out of his clinic.
I was there 3+ years till we had to move for family reasons. I still strive for that standard daily
People tend to look at accomplishments and accolades and measure the success on that platform. But people have gravitated Kobe immensely because he also failed, struggled and went through adversity as a player. It’s the human element that has attracted so many players. Even the younger generation who have never seen Kobe play is resonating. Kobe is the true success story
24 is a fully realized avatar
That turn around lefty from Kobe was GOD level, only greats would understand...
I just wish we new the recipe BEFORE… it’s so much easier to become great when you UNDERSTAND HOW and UNDERSTAND THAT YOU CAN.
I was a child of immigrant academics and we really didn’t know anything about sports until 1-2 years after
My peers who went to the league KNEW the Hows, Whens, Wheres, and Whys, and despite all that… KOBE OUTCLASSED EVERYONE FROM BIRTH WITH THAT INNATE MAMBA Mindset
We can duplicate it to the best of our ability, and/or work better because of its inspiration… but to Be Michael Jordan/Kobe Bryant without having their Killer Instinct as an Inspiration is what makes them LEGENDARY
That’s because you didn’t live in America. So why punish yourself for not knowing anything boss🤷🏿
81 he did it With the Number 8 Point BLANK PERIOD
8 & 24 was both Great
I think all us NBA fans love d rose just because MVP rose was DIFFERENT & ima Heat fan injures suck man glad my boy still hooping
He had gasol too as a great second option
At the same time, those that don't think about how they impact others feelings when they are still alive. Those are the people who aren't remembered by others when they pass away.
Kobe ALWAYS up'd the ANTE🧏🏾♂️🎯
Best gils podcast right here. I agrees fully. 1st time for everything cuz gil usually trippin lol
8 was 50 get rich or die trying. 24 was the mogul.
@Aldijan3r love you brother, but I am a follower of Jesus. Nothing but respect

I was thinking the same thing Gil said on the person who said the story
Lmaoooo
Referring to Anthony Davis
💯💯🙄🙄🤡😂😂😂
S/O to Gil for his takes #Mamba4Ever
Kobe Bryant forever ♾️🐍

8 was Kobe 24 was Black Mamba
That Luke Walton story crazy 😂 one of the only Kobe related stories I haven’t heard
I’m glad Gil said it cuz I was thinking the same thing about AD 😒
24 could never happen without 8. Both were truly an art form. 8 super athlethic and learning- 24 was straight methodical and cold-blooded.
8 was better as a player, 24 was better as a leader.
@Aldijan3r I've never seen a spam Muslim account before lol
Yeshua Is King on this side. Respect to the Muslim community though
Saw norris cole and Gordon hayward live going to YSU dudes wrte beast. Horizon league gets slept on
Give me number 8 he was hungry and he became the Black Mamba as number 8 he hit 12 3pointers in one game 62 in 3 quarters outscored the whole team by himself 81
I would have loved to see Kenyon Martin with my man Kobe, I hate you can’t rewind time!😢
8 was lil Wayne from the hot boyz when he switched to number 24 that when was Wayne dropped the Carter 2
I was hoping this video would just be the camera zooming into his face saying "16" and then cutting out and ending 1 sec in lol.
Gils is not lying about that Luke Walton situation.. I was watching that game.. Kobe was oissed Luke passed that ball back to him..
It ended up being 8, which was a surprise to me as well. However, it made sense when I thought about it.
Shots fired at AD 💥💥💥
And AD is more accomplished than all them combined.
Paul Pierce with his super team beat kobe once an he felt like he won 6 rings , thats how great kobe was !!!
I would put one number on front and the other one on the back of the statue
❤❤❤
Number 8 kobe was that beast
