Kobe learning parts of a new language just to trash talk Luka is the most Kobe thing ever
He played with Sasha Vujacic who is from Slovenia.
he learned french just to trash talk tony parker
@@gospaironija2762 Yea people often forget this. It wasn't like Kobe was a total stranger to the language before this.
@@gospaironija2762 in sasha ni nikoli za reprezentanco igrau
@@gospaironija2762 also I think he knew vladi divac
Kobe would actually put in time and effort to show love to people he respected. It was always heartwarming to see.
@@jbthestoner5504 I definitely get what you saying but we are specifically talking about him showing love
That's why I focused on it lol.
@ Idk about that. I think most people look back fondly on Kobe.
Facts. Much respect for Kobe and how he approached his profession and his peers.
fax
and took his hat off to take a pic with Luka.
That’s really rare from MJ himself to do and reaching out to Luka Doncic , that’s unbelievable honestly
He mustve took it personally.
@@ChaddeusPrime i was looking for you thank you
I was thinking the same. Did he ever praise anyone? XD
He heaped loads of praise towards Dirk,Duncan, Kobe etc etc.
@@PikeBishop1 but when you think about it, people he begins to praise turn into hall of famers, and all time greats
I was at the famous game with Kobe in the stands trash talking to Luka. We paid a fortune for those tickets. After the game we decided to go to the Ritz Carlton across from Staples for some drinks and ended meeting all the Mavs players including Luka in the lobby. I will never forget that night.
Money well spent, legendary game.
At least it would've been worth it. R.I.P. Kobe 🙏🏿💜💛
You sure it was the Ritz Carlton across from Staples, and not the one across from Walgreen's?
And then u woke up
@@aseed89 Ok hater. “All this jealousy and envy coming from my enemies”- Tupac
When you receive praise from 2 of the greatest basketball players ever that’s when you know you’ll be a star in this league.
All 3 of his idols love him, he's the next top 10 player
He'll be a star? He already is a bonafide superstar!
It’s rare for Kobe and MJ to show love to current players, that should tell you something about Luka
Luka Doncic will be the future GOAT of the NBA. MJ and Kobe had already glimpsed a great future in that boy.
@@capitanfuturo594 even as a mavs fan i think that’s a bit optimistic. he could get up there for sure tho
@@ARMTOAST If he get 2nd star obviously
@@capitanfuturo594 lol
@@ronm3945
LOL what ?
Does a fool like you know more about basketball than MJ and Kobe Bryant?
This is why the loss of Kobe is even more of a loss now, he could’ve made so many players better being a mentor and a teacher to people like Tatum, Doncic, and of course Gigi.
He also raises the competition ceiling. Some of these guys have zero desire to win
@@oussamaokbi who?
@@peeper4life315 Ben Simmons
I firmly believe the way Kobe challenged Giannis helped him develop as a player largely
@Ice Trae what is wrong with you bro
Man seeing Luka you kinda wish you got to see dirk play with that kind of talent.
Honestly that would be another Hof superstar duo that people will remember like mj and Scottie or Kobe and Shaq
@@belminspahic1449 dirk for alot of his years only had one all star player Josh Howard. Mainly after Nash left.
Dirk played with Nash so yes he did
Kristaps is what we expected to be mentored by dirk he has the tools but he camps at the 3pt line
@@jonnythanful that’s like saying “Lebron played with lonzo” Or “Westbrook played with oladipo
Luka has the full package. He can score, handle the ball, make plays, shoot, drive, kick, and so much more. The 22-year-old superstar does it with some flash too. He is always making the highlight reel and taking his game to another level.
Except he’s white so his body will probably fall apart within the next 6-7 years lol I hope I’m wrong but we’ll see.
@@JmO-ee1bi Balkans are built different. Don’t come with that white body bullshit. There’s a world outside freedom land that you should research. We are one of the tallest and strongest people on earth. Just look up Zlatan Ibrahimovic. 6”4 doing acrobatic stuff never seen before and being one of (if not) the strongest football player ever.
It’s like me saying white people are smarter and have accomplished more in science. Quit that bull.
@@JmO-ee1bi His playstyle is sustainable even at an older age.
@@JmO-ee1bi he ain’t playin like D.Rose or Ja. Luka can play this way for his whole career with minimal injury
Just needs to play more defense, i can understand him not playing defense tho coz he's doing everything on offense 😂
That Kobe and Gianna helicopter crash incident still hurts to this day, and will hurt all the basketball fans throughout their lives, still feels unreal :'(
Imagine having an appointment to meet Michael Jordan, it must have been a nerve racking day LOL
Kobe didn’t learn Slovenian to trash talk Luka. He learned Slovenian because one of his teammates (Vujacic) was Slovenian and they would use it during games so that the other team couldn’t understand what they were saying.
Luca broke out on CZcams with that free throw shot and laughed together with his opponent. That made me look him up. I think I am now a fan. He seems like a Tom Brady to me, which I identify with. Luca seems like a great role model. Let's hope he keeps it up. 60 point game puts him with the greats.
Not only do I love the videos about the general careers of players, but he also does these nice little known stories about them too!! Always will appreciate you Andy!!
Couldn’t agree more … I’ve been addicted to this channel .. would love to see a video of Shawn Kemp , Gary Payton , Detlef … something cool about Seattle Sonics rather than losing them to OKC..
So inspiring that they reached out to their idol
Luka also met Kobe in public in Madrid at the Real Madrid training hall. There were several statements that they had a joint workout, or some kind of training exhibition. There are photos of this encounter online and there is a little records of it.
Luka’s idols were huge fans of him, playing with pros since a teen, he’s a prodigy pretty much.
Even Jordan would draft Dončić, so we can't talk he is that bad at the draft picks. We should talk about Sacramento who sucks for a very long time. Halibourton is more lucky pick for them
Man living in a world where people like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant exist I'm happy to be alive. Makes me think how many many great people there are and had been on our dear Earth
to bad kobe was a rapist......so sad
When he brought up Kobe I teared up! I'll never forget where I was when I heard of his passing 😔
I was working at a restaurant when I heard
I seen him on tv in 2017 Real Madrid playoffs and I instantly knew he was gonna be a hall of famer if not a goat. I have 10 witnesses to this. Luka is always fun to watch because he has a such complete game since mj. I couldn’t pick anything negative besides being slow but he more than well makes up for it!! Keep up the great work LUKA!! I believe in you brother 🥰
and did you watch jesus walk on water ?
Good post. The bond between aspiring athletes is unshakable, unbreakable, and lifelong.
Luka Doncic will be the future GOAT of the NBA.
MJ and Kobe had already glimpsed that future in him.
Andy is the only NBA youtuber who has consistently given us great content for years 💯
Maybe he'll meet Jordan too one day.
Andy Hoops doing it on a Saturday LETS GOOOOOOO 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯👏👏👏👏👏
Luka reminds me of bird so much. Really smart players who knows how to use tempo and positioning. Same ball fakes too.
must be a white thing
NGL Luka would've been able to benefit from a Kobe training camp much more than Tatum. Tatum doesn't have the shotmaking ability of Kobe, Luka. Rip kobr
and WTF would kobe be able to train him.......I think it would be the other way around.......luka could put on a demo. like knocking down 73 points while just doing his job......and looking very f*cking cool doing it !
Just a good video after a hard day ❤️
Luka will retire as one of the top 10 greatest of all time. Period
No one has done what he is doing before
Top 3 or even top 1 imo
Super high ceiling. If he doesnt get injured or stop.
He is still super young. He has the game for it. Let's hope.
I love Luka. Definitely has the highest ceiling of anyone since LeBron and that makes me so excited
And the ceiling is the roof.
MJ hugged Luka doncic at the All-Star Game this year. That was pretty cool
Great vid men love ur channel
I really would love to see Andy do Mike Miller as the next “how good was he actually videos”
Imma keep saying it until it happens , and I think he should , one of the great sixth man of the year players in the NBA and he made a 3 pointer with only one sneaker in an NBA finals game
Are you sure you're not Mike Miller himself 🤣
Good stuff!
Kobe and MJ are so picky about who they acknowledge, compliment, trash talk, and mentor… it’s insane.
Who came back after Jordan hugged Luka
Hey Andy can you make a vid about some of the biggest NBA rivals? Like not only players also people part of the team and stuff.
Anyone here after watching MJ embrace Luka at ASW 2022?
Dope video
Andy hoops is underrated
Andy hoops I hope you see my comment because I want you to know you are one of the BEST Basketball CZcams channels ever and many others feel the same way I do!!
i didn’t know until now that luka’s a kobe fan, he’s always saying bron is his fav player and was his biggest influence in basketball
It's easier to connect to idols when they're retired.. Can't afford making those kind of connections when both play (unless on same team ofc.)
Also you can adopt a playstyle from one player but respect others, or even like them for their character
Luka always made 1 thing straight
His favorite player was lebron and also the one who influenced his game the most
Also said MJ is the greatest, people can like one more and aknowledge the other without disrespecting or downgrading
He later, still in his rookie season said kobe was his 2nd fav player to watch and part of his mentality comes from watching kobe for a long time
@@iBeStrong1038 it make sense actually. Luka grow watching LeBron and second is Kobe because Kobe at that time is getting older so he probably watch more if LeBron games. I love the his not just a fanboy bias but also acknowledge my is the greatest. And to sum it up if Luka really like LeBron he would sign with Nike and LeBron shoes and all that sponsors.
Luka actually has a chance to contend for being the GOAT, he already is the best 22-year-old we've ever seen and if Dallas can build a competent team around him he might actually be the GOAT or at least top 5 all-time also I make videos as well
Kareem lebron mj kobe magic and bird were better than him at 22
Derrick rose? Lebron? Idk can’t think of modern day right now
Never will touch mj. Mj had skill with athletic ability like no other also Kobe is the closet to mj them two are a tier everyone else can try. I believe Zion gonna be that dude.
Really?? Lebron lead a team full of BUMS to the finals at 22 yo. And he had to go thru a really good team all by himself to gt there
@@ryomensukuna457 Bird wasn't even in NBA at 22 ....
I feel like crying everytime i see Kobe. Miss him.
Damn, dude, this videos got MJ, Kobe(2 of my top 3), talking about one of my top present-day players. If Larry Legend(my other top 3) had somehow found his way into this, my head would've exploded. Luka's way of dictating the pace of the game is phemonal and that smooth-ass shot of his is something else. He and Curry, would be interesting to see on a team together the amount of handles and shot combinations resulting from coordinated efforts, between those two high-IQ-having monsters, would be insane. F**k it, make Bird their coach, with that much brains in the game they would inadvertantly cure cancer by the half while they were cooking the oppposition.
This has got to be the most underrated comment of the year
No one cares about your top 3 😂😂😂😂 dork
@Lc Infantry Sr Pro tip: If you want to illustrate that you don't care then don't comment. I can't believe you typed that unironically, rofl.
@@jaded9234 bruh I read the first sentence and I didn’t finish reading what you said either
@Lc Infantry Sr LOL, whatever you say junior. Now, be a good little boy and waddle off. You shouldn't still be commenting if you want to make it seem like you don't care.
Kobe and Shaq both new those words back in the Divac/Stojakovic days when they would go head to head
Most underrated nba youtuber
Let’s go Andy
Stop reminding me of how much of a respectful guy Kobe is...😔😔😭
Luka is very lucky to have been able to share a moment with Kobe before his death. MJ probably saw Bird like tendencies with Luka.
Always find the Kobe story cool between them
His all time favorite player in Vasilis Spanoulis, and the reason he is wearing 7s in his jersey.
Exactly, but very few people know this. And us media doesn't put the effort to do a proper research.
You just had to make a dig at Jordan's drafting choices lol. I saw it coming, but I was wondering if you were going to actually do it. You did.
Kobe is so great that he learned several languages like Italian, french , Spanish etc... Just to say "you can't guard me"
That just shows you how much kobe thought of him. Dude is on track to be an all time great player. The best euro player ever maybe apart from giannis. Mark my words.
As a mavs fan, at this point in time, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobli are all time euro greats over giannis. If Jokic wins a ring this next year or 2, he'll be over Giannis. Luka is so young into his career though he has more than enough time to pass all of them.
Oh man I'm so disrespectful. Dirk is also over Giannis right now.
2 of the greatest players ever impressed. That's enough said about that.
Kobe was a fucking Legend, there s no other player like him. RIP Kobe and the Rest who lost their lifes. ❤
Andy can you make a vid about when KD was just joining the league and everybody was doubting him.
Who’s here after MJ ran and hugged Luka in all star game ? Damn what a moment 😍
Literally the first time watching luka shoot n layup I was like he’s gonna be one of the tops you can just see it in him lmao
Can you do a video on Chris Mullin
Kobe learned Slovenian words years before from teammate Sasha Vujacic, also a player from Slovenia.
Vooch forever a Laker
Truly this is a great video tho , how Luka Doncic met The late Kobe Bryant and the 🐐 MJ 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
7:30 Jordan was always a believer in Luka.. top of his class..
• I honestly think he thought that of *Kwame Brown* too, if only he didn't heckle -the kid- the man. But I guess MJ and KB made peace already in Charlotte and it's all good afterwards.
I’m the biggest Mj fanboy there is but I actually think with the current day NBA (no defence) Luka actually has a chance to be in the goat conversation

Kobe saying a Slovenian word was possibly the first time I heard anyone of his skin complexion speak that language!
Never judge a book by it's cover.
@Da 🐐! no they can't lol it's a tiny country unknown to most people, especially americans, and there are hardly any black people in slovenia
@Da 🐐! wtf
@Da 🐐! This is what it looks like when u arguin wit fools
@Da 🐐! what a weirdo you are lol are you actually arguing it's normal to see a black man speaking slovenian? 🤣
EVEN IN LANGUAGE KOBE STILL GOT A MAMBA MENTALITY
Lamelo was a great pick. Just saying Andy 🤷🏻♂️
That was before choising Lamelo
Luka and LaMelo have different year of Draft. Just saying🤷♂
@@belfastbelchan4039 You missed my point. Jordan wasn’t just part of drafting on time. It’s been years and multiple teams and his drafting on both teams has not been good….which Andy acknowledged. I just pointed out he finally made a great pick in LaMelo.
Edwards was d greater pick. Anthony edwards is like mj
@@lukamazing I want to see ant on the winning team
Who knew it was Kobe who was trash talking him .. ahh 😂😂😂😂😂 man that’s just unreal and the last time he would see him in person :(
Kobe had a Slovenian teammate at the Lakers, he didn't learn just for Luka
Kobe was friends with Sasa Vujacic while they both played in LA, and this is where he knew Slovenian trash talk from, he didn't learn it because of Luka.
I think that Kobe learned the Slovenian words from Saša Vujačić, who was a Slovenian player he played with around 2009 I think.
Excited to see Luka play again, hope he improve his defense.
His defense really isn't even that bad. I'd say he's slightly above average. He's just a bit slow laterally
swear to god. 3:08 I got an ad which only had helicopter sounds. Had another tab open. I really thought it was in the original video and that guy was f up
Me & him got the same top 3 🐐
Kobe actually spent a good part of his childhood in northern Italy, which is bordering Slovenia, so he probably learned his Slovenian trash talk there.
😂
No fucking one in North Italy speaks Slovenian
@@blackpocket4282 In the north Italy a lot of people speak German however in the north east Italy approximately 100.000 people speak Slovenian.
@@altergreenhorn my comment was a bit off 😅 I know, sorry you right.
Surely Kobe didn't learned anything in Slovenian when he was only a child in Italy, approaching Italian, already a whole new language for him. That was the meaning of my Comment above 👆🙂
Kobe Lived in Emilia-Romagna, that's not north east.
Might have been a Slovenian teammate in his team ahaha I highly doubt that
@@blackpocket4282 he played with sasha vujacic who was slovenian
Here after the all star game
Luka Doncic es un genio del basquet.
Luka will be too big for Air Jordan. He needs his own line.
🔥🔥
The two draft picks Jordan made that are good in my mind are Miles Bridges and LaMelo Ball
More of luka doncic
Real recognizes Real.
Jaylen Brown next video Andy Hoops 🙏🙏🙏
I could've sworn Kobe spoke Slovenian because he lived in Europe for a number of years as a kid.
mj the goat knows who really have a potential
Hey Andy, you are doing an amazing work but when you talk about European teams or players that used to play in Europe, make an effort and learn a thing or two about the European team you are going to talk in your videos. Just a few words . It will level up your videos especially in and for people from Europe like me. Keep up the good work
Please make a CZcams - What would happen if Luka & Jason Tatum traded teams?
3:28 Luka reviled that after Kobe’s death they would text each other very frequently 🤔
3:26 they text frequently “after” his death? 😳
If Kobe is still alive, I think he and Luka will develop a much better relationship. I can see Luka being mentioned in the same breath as Kobe and MJ which is the GOAT without question of course.
Haha thats sick.
Bro I never really heard that man luka talk 🤣
The fact Kobe was learning Slovenian just to trash talk Luca ... shows how good of a player Luca is ....
If MJ and Kobe endorse Luka then he is now the future of the NBA.
Waiting for king James brand kicks soon !!!
You didn't show Jordan hugging Luka at this year's all-star game , greatness acknowledge greatness. Jordan, Kobe,and LeBron all know who gots next , LUKA THE DON.
they just met publicly tonight 😂
💛
