10 NBA Players Sharing This RUTHLESS Kobe Bryant Story. 

😂

Proves how soft he really was. Btw where is he right now?? Oh yeah, out of the NBA. Kobe was right for saying he only had 1 good year. The rest he was a journeyman 😅

dude had a good year and was ass the rest of his career, who cares what he thinks

@@michaelmejorada12 people are different and respond differently to certain situations, not everyone is built to talk shit and get talked down into the dirt by a teammate and an idol, tim duncan ain't talking shit and he is one of the best ever, maybe approaching different individuals by assessing their personality is better than being a douchebag to a sensitive guy, just saying.

@@michaelmejorada12Kobe was just mad cause he got cooked by Lin in that NY game lol.

​@@Myhaayexactlt maybe im not soft just don't want a grown man who he looked up to doing him like that

coldest wittiest comeback of all-time

😂😂😂😂 kobe 💯

Ronnie Price too. And I read that he also took Wesley Johnson under his wing.

Ronnie Price too.

Jordan Clarkson as well he developed well too

I remember when they were trying to compare Lin to Kobe during that linsanity hype 😂

@@doranroberts4895absolutely disrespectful

@@marcedmonson I’m telling you man I was like y’all bugging 😂

@@doranroberts4895 bro I forgot he was even on the Lakers. Him and Carlos Boozer. I just remembered them being on the Knicks and Bulls

I think he was just salty about that game he gave him 30😂

True that. But man that was a tough year 😔

​@@Terrorsinsin2 REPLIES

To add to that, it was also fun seeing us tearing down Golden State annually even for just one game per season. Steve Kerr even acknowledged the fact that the post-achilles injury Kobe/pre-LeBron Lakers would just bust the reigning champs ass every year lol. And even better, the pre-LeBron Lakers were trending upwards-like in increments of 10 wins per season. This was the JC, Randle, Nance, young DLo, BI Lakers

Shannon brown was fun to watch too and before that Caron butler and so on so on Laker fan for life

​@@NewSunGambit Shannon Brown is responsible for my favorite Kobe gif of all time.

nope

@@user-nv1gm2zj7y Yep

@@user-nv1gm2zj7yshut up

Would honestly love for this to happen

Given that Kobe was always trying to be Jordan, him getting something similar after Jordan is kinda funny

That’s a tough one because that documentary was knowingly filmed and then they vaulted the footage for 20 years. There will never be another Last Dance

⁠@@stalwartzero7001it wasn’t much that was vaulted. Because I seen most of the videos and heard majority of stories from the Last Dance before it came out… it wasn’t that fresh to me when it came out 😂

@@atrax58 O, definitely.. it’s not like 80 percent of the documentary was A. literally in climate controlled storage and B. the interviews were filmed recently. So explain to me again how to saw footage that Micheal Jordan never even saw and now you saw interviews in the 90s that weren’t filmed until 2019? So sad, bro is out here lying on RU-vid, for what? I can only imagine how “real” you are to people around you… clown.

Lin apparently thought it just required asking nicely

@@shama-llamading-dong5370Lakers fan here. I have to tell you that I obviously hated your teams guts. I couldn’t stand them from Webber to Funderburke. Having said that, the only one I hated for the right reasons was Bibby. I hated that he was on your team because he was that good. He was a leader and he was a killer. Is that the way you hated Kobe, or was it just blind hate that you shared for the Lakers team in general?

Kobe a Philly guy

I'm not as old as you but old enough to say I got to watch MJ Kobe and LeBron play. Sorry you missed it

My guess is 28 5 5

Being ruthless,I understand,no,it doesn't make everyone happy.But,Kobe and Jordan wanted to win-CHIPS. Not be good friends with their team-mates.Both wanted to be their-BEST-versions of themselves and succeeded.

Kobe came from the previous generation of players. All these other guys are from the current generation. Like he said soft compared to the previous.

That wasn't just any player, it was Pau Gasol, his brother and championship teammate. Pau is like Kobe's freaking family, and mentor to his daughters in his passing. That's how tight they are, and he still did that to him to set the tone that winning was everything.

nah its just cause hes not like that. people are different

Thing is, I understand BOTH sides. But JL could have benefitted SO MUCH, had he so chosen. Kobe was giving NY & JL the opportunity to show him that they were really on his team, REALLY going to be right there with him side by side. Instead he took it all personally. I played 3 yrs of college ball, for an ex-NBA player--John Block, 1-time All-Star. Coach Block intimidated everyone on that team. I was a new transfer, but he just reminded me of boot camp. That was where I learned to separate the instructions from the tone of voice. Guys would shrink up when Coach yelled at them. All I did was just take him literally, do EXACTLY what he said. It worked: One game, we were losing & shooting poorly. So he calls time out & tells us to pass the ball 5 times before taking a shot-- especially a three. Very next possession I got it on the 2nd pass, so I passed up a shot in favor of pass #3. Coach immediately called another T.O. As everyone was headed to the bench, all of us really confused, Coach pulled me aside. "Paul, I wasn't talking about you. If you get a good look at a three, you'd better take it, you understand? I appreciate that you want to do exactly what I told all of you, but you're specifically out there because I want you shooting threes." Honestly, it made me feel pretty good...but that was when I realized that he rode guys and yelled out in his CRAZY DEEP VOICE at guys not putting in max effort...and those guys would just CRUMBLE. Me, i just absorbed the instructions, not the tone, volume, or pitch. I also outworked everyone. I wasn't supposed to be that good...was supposed to come off the bench, but I was on 100% hustle/energy, never wore out, and destroyed everyone they put in front of me. So I won the starting SG spit, and once I got healthy that year, I averaged 22 a game for the last 13 games of the year, shooting over 60% from three, & WE won 12 straight before losing the last. I feel like Kobe was the same, like Coach Block. Just wanted guys willing to hit the floor with him, put in extra work, and work hard TOGETHER to create something that was greater than the sum of the parts. Sort of like Kobe's whole career, and the performance of the team. Even with Shaq there... they only had a talent surplus in Kobe's first 4 years, till they let Glen Rice go. Then it was Kobe, Shaq, and the over-the-hill gang. Ron Harper used used to be really good... Shaw was decent but never spectacular, just a good shooter & decent defender. DFisher was a good defender & a pretty clutch shooter. Horry same, but neither would ever be mistaken for anyone's stars, EVER. It was Shaq's deal to patrol the inside, Kobe's to be on the perimeter, & guys like Fish, Horry, Shaw etc. jobs to play solid D & hit a shot from time to time. They were never able to CREATE shots (for themselves or others), but all 4 hit their share of big ones here & there, & they were part of a bigger, better whole. I saif all that to suggest that Jeremy Lin could have been like thst, a good-shooting, steady contributor on a winning team. The smartest Lakers went all-in WITH KOBE (and BOY do I wish we could've held on to Caron Butler...THAT guy was all-in from day ONE with KB, ready to lay it all on the line, right alongside Kobe, but was more talented than the Horrys, Fishers, etc. In his one year in LA he scored 16 a game (I know, "I thought Kobe was a big fat ballhog" makes you wonder about THAT claim about Kobe from his haters) & played pretty tough D. He would have improved a TON with KB, & would've taken some OFFENSIVE pressure off Kobe as well. He eventually became a 2-time 20 ppg scorer & all-star. Kobe would've had him doing more than that. I think Jeremy Lin would have been benefited similarly, and he would've toughened up a LOT, picked up some of Kobe's toughness, instead of becoming another version of Smush Parker--pretty talented but trying too hard to be defiant to Kobe.

​@user-nv1gm2zj7y yes people are different but a champions mindset is very similar. You can't name a champion who responded to trash talk or adversity like Jeremy did. He got his ring don't get me wrong but he was on the bench.

No he didn’t talk because he knew Lin was right. Lin didn’t make it that far for an asshole to yell at him and berate him all day. End of day respect is all we have. I’m firing on Kobe if I’m any of them. I’m not doing what he wants me to do because I’m not a sheep. Be your own man beta male

JLin asian so he prob already got dem verbal abusive parents when he was young, ptsd 🤣

nah kobe remembere4d that 40 lin gave him

@@user-nv1gm2zj7ythe only highlight of his entire career

Lin's best year was in Charlotte, not NYC.

Yes but that video clip of Lin was about the game when Lin made the game winning 3 point shot that showed up kobe

Haha thanks, hope you enjoy!

😂😂

These videos take a long time to edit but I can try hardest to get more out for the end of the year

@@NickSmithNBAthanks bro you do a great job appreciate the great videos

Kobe knew that Jeremy was just a player and was comfortable being just a player but Kobe trained and played harder each and every day and Jeremy Lin didn’t have that in him

@@rufinacaldwell3024 Nailed it. Kobe hated dudes that were comfortable and satisfied.

Kobe wasn't disrespecting Lin, it was just Lin who can't earn respect from Kobe

@@rufinacaldwell3024 Lin had the talent but didn't have the work ethic that kobe had. I wish he did he would still be in the NBA Instead of overseas

Explains a whole lot lol

@@ibrahimusman6943 tbf to Lin that was actually a right decision by him that game

No he was not? He went to brooklyn to be the starting PG and got hurt, and played till 2019.

@@sexbuffet People forget how Lin played in Charlotte. He was a nominee for 6th man of the year. Lin wasn't soft. He just culturally wasn't a good mix with Kobe.

Just wished Lin had trained as hard as kobe he still be in the NBA
