People have the nerve to call Kobe selfish. He gave his life to the game of basketball. Literally. He had every right to demand the best from his peers and to take matters into his own hands because no one worked harder than him.
Exactly right! And people like to ignore the fact that he had 6,306 career assists as a 2 guard. But they don’t hear me tho.. KB- 8-24
Amen!!

It's not selfish if you study harder than anyone else.
I understand now why Kobe took so many shots during games. He looked around and saw that his teammates were not putting in the same level of effort as he was, so he bet on himself and took the shots. I'm not saying it was the right decision, but I can understand why he did it, even if it would have been smarter to make the pass.

Thing is Kobe practiced 100 moves 10,000 times for each move.
@Clutch7 I know, I was just saying that Kobe worked very hard on his craft.
jj , redick video that vidd
@@dstreet4599 smh u didnt understand the quote
That is wisdom.
Wade got it right. A young Kobe had so much swagger it was unbelievable. Have never seen a young player fresh in the league with that much confidence.
A 3 time back to back to back champion nonetheless and at 24 when other superstars are barely even getting their legacy off the ground
To think Kobe at such a young age was on the biggest stage of them all, dominating and even outshining Shaq sometimes is so special
Young Penny Hardaway had a ton of swag too. Kobe always had that grown man discipline and toughness on top of the swag
Afro Kobe #8
@@terryfellows5492 Frobe
Lebron has and had swag! So did D-wade.
This is way better than ESPN, FoxSports, etc. Real sports content.
Shut Down Sync real athletes talking about what they know bc they played it and lived through it real recognizes real
czcams.com/video/xyAwMuSzYas/video.html
Players give best contents. They were actually there, competed against, and felt it first hand. No analysis can provide those inside stories.
There was/is a conspiracy against Kobe's legacy @ ESPN, FoxSports..etc.... ESPN even skews stats to eliminate Kobe at times in comparison to great feats by other players
@@pfunk42 if you have any videos or articles, please share at journalismisalive@gmail.com I been saying this for years. A lot of mainstream media disrespected his legacy
Kobe has no drop of insecurity in him. He knows he's great but he knows he doesn't know all..
@bee boo Haha.. Bbbooo ya beeboo..
bee boo imagine if the personal lives of all historical figures were there for you to pass judgement on. There’d be nobody left. Including MLK
@bee boo The dude above you used MLK as an example because MLK is known to have cheated on his wife before as well, the same as Kobe. But you said Kobe only has "3 legitimate championships" so that says enough about the credibility of your opinions
He worked hard to beat insecurity
This is the most underrated part of kobe's character imo. Theres this OG wnba player who has a kobe story where he went to her for advice on taking care of his body as he ages and stuff. Gary peyton has a story about kobe asking him for advice on his post moves. Everyone has a story about kobe asking them for help or advice. And for a guy as confident as he is, that's unheard of.
I would never have picked up a basketball if it wasnt for Kobe. I remember in Bosnia during the war, basketball was my scapegoat
...that's DEEP, Man.
Respect.
That’s real
It’s insane that Kobe was the best player in the league but also worked the hardest out of everyone. You would think once you reach the top you can take your foot off the gas a little but he never stopped. Legend.
Maybe he kept working so hard cos he never accepted he was the best.
Getting on top is the easy part, staying on top is the hard part.
I think you got it wrong : he was the best player in the league because he worked the hardest...
Matija van der Hoeven that’s a very true statement
Theres a reason he was drafted at 13
Great’s talking about greats is the greatest of all time
GOATS are great.
kobe and dwade were cut from the same cloth...no nonsense...their battles were some of my faves...
Asmosis Jones Man their battles were insane..😭
You a goat for that
@Rye Bread Jordan is not goat. Hey let's all get that fact
I remember watching that one game where Kobe hit that game winning 3 over DWade near the top of the key 😭
Facts was watching that live too lol
Kobe said that was the luckiest shot of his career
remember wade breaking kobe's nose in the all star game or their 3 christmas day battles
I was there... that was surreal
That was Epic. You go like "no no no, yeeeeeaaaah"
Wade, you didn’t have Kobe to chase after he retired because it was your turn to be chased. RIP Kobe🙌🙏. Wade you the best
Ummm..huh
Dee Brown just as Kobe chased after Jordan and Wade chased after Kobe, it was Wades turn to be the inspiration for the younger generation, it was his turn to be chased.
Bobby G , yeah. Better wording then what I put together
@@bobbyg1288
The thing is when jordan retired he kept on going striving to be the best no matter what happened to his body. Whether winning rings with broken bones or being hated by millions he kept going he kept trying to chase after jordan until his body finally succumbed to an achillies injury which he still tried to play in until gary vitty and his wife convinced him he was done.. Wade on the other hand he took his gas off the peddle and left with so much game in him.
Facts
Don’t listen to Nick Wright and the NBA media.... they’ll convince you Kobe isn’t even a top 10 players smh disrespectful. The Greats know he’s great and that’s all that matters
Preach even some CZcamsrs are falling for the media hype
czcams.com/video/xyAwMuSzYas/video.html
Nick Wright is one of the funniest ever, as well as Shannon. They both always go for the stats. 1v1 kobe allday against any1
globalicon2012 stop using drugs!
Nick Wright is a joke dude
Glad D-Wade did this. He's 100% right about all he said. He was the only player on Kobe's level in that era.
I humbly disagree.
@@erictolbert4769 I didn't say he was as good as Kobe, just he mentally and physically could have a conversation with Kobe and relate probably on most (not all) levels. This is even what D-Wade's saying in this intvw, and that's why I agree, but humbly you are entitled to disagree
Second best SG in the league at the time.
@@hennylo68 and 3rd best sg ever
@@erictolbert4769 dwade was unstoppable in his prime just as kobe he won a chip with noo1 than and ol shaq get good son
I have no idea why Kobe isn’t considered in the goat conversation .
ThePismokook I think kobe has the skill set and drive to be the best. Especially hearing his peers respect him, that means a lot about his game. I think Kobe would have a higher level of respect if he had 3 or 4 final MVPs.
because michael jordan
With all due respect to the late Black Mamba, he’s not in the GOAT conversation because Jordan beats him in nearly every category.
@@mapthemultiverse what about points
Because he was a copy cat, which there isn’t anything wrong with that. He’s great but also. He wasn’t always the best player on his team hence(2000,2001,2002)
8 minutes 24 seconds
He said he couldnt breath before he even hit the ground. He was resisting, uncontrollable and on drugs. Od
Mario luvian bruh no one talking about that. 8/24 kobe bean
25
@@marioluvian4682 It was 8:46 if that's what you're referring to.
very astute !
For me, I used to argue with my dude and my cousin about Kobe vs. Wade. It was like Ali vs. Frazier. To hear Wade credit Kobe and pay respect is refreshing. Wish Kobe was still here.
He is in heaven now trying to win a chip for God alongside with gigi. God needed a closer so he took kobe.
@@ohhhyeahhh1174 No doubt!
MJ, Kobe, Wade. Top 3 SG of all time imo
Kobe is the goat man! My favorite player ever! #RIP
Cameron Isam that doesn't even make sense 🤦🏽♂️
No he isn't the goat
Dwade speaking on Kobe is always refreshing thanks Wade 4 sharing
Kobe always set the standard no matter what going on he always on another level. Kobe the Legend he is Legendary.
Kobe didn't just mimic Mike, he took pieces from many players. Apparently even d-wade. He was a student of the game. Stop disrespecting the man because you think all he did was copy someone
Who you talking to lol
Facts Kobe took from MJ and expanded on it💯
Kobe watched mj, Iverson, Nick van excel, Hakeem, Jerry west, big o, Elgin Baylor, Gary Payton, d wade, etc. He used everything to his advantage and learned from everyone.
EVERYBODY copied somebody idk why ppl think u can walk into a gym and just pick up the game easily 🤣 like who are yall hooping with irl???
Thats what smart people do. Learn to keep getting better in all aspects
Kobe was so inspirational man..
Im 37...i caught the End of Magic and Bird...In my Years its Mike,Kobe then whoever anybody else got
The most amazing moment in sports EVER was the Kobe Farewell Tour!! For him to see and feel the LOVE FROM EVERYONE before he passed
i love seeing D. Wade speaking so respectfully of Kobe as well of the mutual respect between the two. D. Wade is one of the best 2 guards i have ever seen come into the league and make noise right away.. I've been watching the NBA since 1986. love what he said as well as much respect to the raw talent and skill D. Wade possessed. R.I.P. Black Mamba & GiGi.
This is why D Wade is one of my favs he’s so real and well spoken
Kobe impacted my life so much even though i’ve never met him, obviously. it’s crazy how he’s gone. i can’t believe it still. basketball isn’t the same for me and never will be
i seen him in Ralph’s at El Segundo said something to him
My second favorite player of all time talking about my first favorite player of all time is my greatest moment of all time!!!!
Kobe cold as ice just respect it 💯
Kobe was different, man. Rest In Peace to the Mamba.
Jj Reddick ur podcasts are awesome man
true man
Yes sir czcams.com/video/uQIICgmn4eo/video.html
Kobe Bryant and dwayne wade and MJ best basketball player ever. Legends for LIFE.
I love kobe stories. they either make me smile or inspire me to be better.
RIP Mamba. Your influence on the younger generation of players is beyond measure. THE LEGACY LIVES ON....
I still cry whenever I hear Kobe stories.
People will never ever understand how Kobe's work was he is the hardest worker in the NBA
I love hearing players insight of the game. Kobe did something unselfish and beneficial to the team so Wade could eat but it don’t show up as an Assist or a stat. This why u can’t just box score these players into a box.
Nah the sheep love to quote their basketball reference stats.
Bro this a underrated comment
Thanks bro, like hearing Rodman describe how he gets all his rebounds smh.. So much of the game we don’t know.
Very underrated comment.
That story of Kobe has been told long before Dwade told it but it’s so amazing seeing it being confirmed by Wade
DWade, I miss you, man. Kobe was my favorite too, but I cried during your retirement game.
Kobe Bryant is 🐐
Man. Kobe Bryant won't ever be missed. For sure. I still can't believe it.
I miss kobe Rest In Peace LEGEND
I miss D Wade and Kobe playing. The good times where you get amazed during each games.
Rest at the end, not in the middle - Kobe's English teacher said. Kobe did exactly that.
We need more Kobe stories like this!!! RIP 🐐
💯 people know kobes work ethic, but you're the first person to describe the resounding impact that it had on an career,
Dwade, you different fam,
the GOAT since MJ, period.
none of that ring chasing and team jumping bs.
True!
@@Bloomsburg14 - imagine if Kobe did that... easily have 7-8 rings
@K Liu
Why would you “ring chase” if a prime Shaq is your teammate and you play for a storied franchise, the Lakers. The Lakers are 1-5 franchise IN ALL OF SPORT.
Why would you ring chase if you had the GREATEST COACH OF ALL TIME, coaching you?
STOP IT!
Kobe is an animal one of the greatest to ever play the game. But he had NO REASON to ring chase. And to be honest he threatened the Lakers to leave and go play for the Bulls if they didn’t trade Shaq.
rip kobe 💜💛🙏🏿
Special stuff right here. R.I.P. KOBE.
Started watching basketball in 2005, im in 4th grade at school. Dwade was the reason i started watching ball.
miss u kobe. shoutout to Dwade, he respects Kobes greatness and Wade #3 SG all time
Kobe was the greatest and craziest worker in the world RIP BEAN
Im gonna watch these kobe stories for the rest of my life if god is willing to allow me to have vision and hearing!! No cap!! RIP Kobe!! 🐍🐍
Any post with Kobe in it will get my attention...my hats off to DWadd and JJ💯💯
Almost every couple of weeks I search to find the latest video discussion, interview, or someone talking about Kobe. I never knew how fond I was of him until he left us.
"We playin sacremento on a wednesday" LMFAOOOOO
Kobe was a beast
In my Era. Kobe is and always will be the GOAT.
It's inspiring listening to guys talk about Kobe like that. ESPN started this narrative of Jordan vs LeBron. It makes them a lot of money. But the players and real fans know that LeBron hasn't leapfrogged Kobe yet
And never will for people that have been true NBA fans for decades
Lebron definitely leapfrogged Kobe!
@@dz.7246 You have no clue about what you speak
@@dz.7246 Kobe is a different beast. Most players and people over 35 would disagree with you.
Lebron boutta have 4 regular season and finals mvps. Love kobe but brons better.
That was awesome. We need more of this.
RIP Black Mamba.
2020 they should dismissed this year.
I could hear these stories all day.
#RIPKOB #VINO #KB8 #824
D Wade is the most humble and kind person
Kobe was a student of the game.Ya’ll should give the guy the credit he deserves,he’s better than bron Tbh.
funny how armchair analysts pull up random stats and numbers to discredit kobe but many of the greatest to ever play the game constantly praise kobe as one of the goats
Months later I still tear up hearing Kobe stories knowing he’s not here with us anymore ☹️☹️☹️🥺
Kobe stories are always inspirational
Love these podcasts by JJ! So much good content and facilitated so well. JJ and Dwade are two of the wisest athletes of this generation. Well done!!
20th person to comment, an this interview is truly monumental!!
D'Wade you are a true Legend.. 🙏💯.. Wade's game is unmatched.. Similar to Kobe's .. Just no one can play like them!
Kobe embraced Jordan's "No one is gonna outwork me" ethic, he was a man of his word.. It goes from mind to body & turns man into machine, programmed to not lose & never satisfied!! We're all watching a different level of motivation from players now thank's to The Last Dance, Kobe read the script a looong time ago and learned from his peers ..
Great job on the podcasts JJ! I love them
I know I’m being petty but I noticed he said he was friends with one of them for sure and he meant Kobe lol . he was signed to Jordan brand 😂
Kobe bean Bryant 🖤💯♾
All these stories of Kobe's obsession with greatness literally drives future generations to become the best version of themselves
that’s a fact, hearing these stories does something different to me..
Wowww!! Huge respect guys..thank you for dropping the gem about the Mamba...really miss you Bean
Real ones know
Miss that dude.
RIP
kB.
Blows my mind people say harden is better then wade, because that’s basically saying he’s kobe level and it’s just so inaccurate. Rip Bean & Gigi
Lol. Harden played with lebron he might have 3 rings.
You acting like harden isn’t better offensively
@@Bigdaddy-nh7mb D Wade won his first ring way before Lebron joined the Heat. And that playoff run was legendary. No disrespect to Harden but wade has more championship pedigree than him
Young DWade would lock up Harden. Young DWade was a monster and a champion
@@Bigdaddy-nh7mb Harden isn't better offensively. Go watch Wade win his first finals. Go watch what he did to the Mavs on the NBA's biggest stage. Now go watch how Harden has failed time and again in the finals.
This man has my eternal respect. Loved Kobe..and you see what my screen name is :)
Hearing these stories about Kobe still makes me wanna tear up so much man 🥺
Sacramento on a Wednesday....damn d wade no cap!
Wade was just naturally instinctive and moved like a cat. I’ve never seen a player who can get to the rim in any scenario like him in his prime.
This one of my
Favorite stories
Can’t get enough of hearing about the Kobe stories / moments ... & relationships / bonds
Kobe is top 3 of ALL TIME Vince Carter just said he belongs in that conversation if you don’t realize that you’re simply a casual
What the hell has Vince Carter ever proven to know? 😂
SSA INVINCIBLEx idk it’s not like he played in the nba or anything 😂💀 “half man half amazing” you were too young for his time I understand
@@chromium113 I'm pusting 30 dummy lol my point is that the dude never won a damn thing
SSA INVINCIBLEx uhh it’s a future hof talking about an all time great I think his opinion actually matters unlike these sports “analysts” that have never touched a basketball in their life
Nobody cares what vince carter said. He was great and kobe’s a legend but carter’s words don’t matter. Paul pierce said Lebron ain’t top 5 which was idiotic. These are all opinions. Not facts.
kobe is best player hands down
If you never saw MJ, Magic and Bird, sure, he maybe is.
Great interview, from this I've gain a whole different level of respect for D Wade.. much love to you as player and person
I love this story - thanks for uploading!
Top 3 player of all time
@Andre Leite da Silva Bill Russel isn't even close to the same caliber as Kobe slap yourself.
@Andre Leite da Silva Magic said that Kobe is the greatest Lakers ever. slap yourself.
My top 3 are MJ, lebron and kobe
Andre Leite da Silva Lebum??? ahahahaha
Wow, I mean is that just super coincidental or intentional that the vid length is 8:24?
Rip to the GOAT
@@DemonLoso jordan died?
@@MrE_ Jordan couldn't beat kobe in one on one if Phil Jackson told him to 🤣 stop it
Its 8:25 lol but close enough.

This was amazing, thanks JJ
Thank you for sharing
If you dont think Kobe is in the GOAT question wiz jordan , u dont know the game ....period
Kobe was the NBAs Kakashi wtf
Oms
I love these podcasts, keep it up JJ! Much love
jj s voice is heaven
Wade basically said he didn’t have a relationship with Jordan, even though he was once a Jordan brand ambassador...
Guess why he left 😂
Michael Jordan never really embraced the new generation of players like Kobe did. The only one he ever really had a relationship with WAS Kobe. Michael decided he’d rather be more private and to himself
Jamaal dagreatest that’s his personality. You Can’t hold it against him. There are a lot of greats that just want to live a normal life after a long prolific career.
HighRoller23 Oh believe me nah I’m not I was just giving my analysis on the two’s personality towards helping the league evolve. You’re absolutely right MJ doesn’t owe anybody anything
HighRoller23 even tho his life is anything far from normal 😭😂😂
Damn DWade came in as a rookie at 21yrs old and Kobe already had 3 rings, 6 yrs in the league...and was only 24/25...😐
Kobe true legend and legends never dies
One love Kobe
CHANGE THE BACKGROUND
Kobe bailed them out in '08...
Bigtime. Spain was coming from behind like a freight train, had all the momentum in the world and Kobe single handedly stopped them cold when the rest of the guys were on the verge of choking.
Kobe and Wade saved them. Lebron looked like he was in the sunken place.
Kobe my favorite player but wade was a beast when he was a young guy in the league. 2 of my favs
Aye man that Sacramento game during DWade last season was emotional for me
