How Kobe Bryant's Trainer Helped Him Become a Legend | The Assist | GQ Sports 

ALI-AAA it’s a scam dummy

Michael Jordan: ICON Kobe Bryant: ICON Tim Grover: ICON

@YUNG KULA means?

he said d wade too!

@YUNG KULA WHAT ARE YOU GIVING ? WOULD THAT BE OF ANY USE TO ME ? ALREADY SUBSCRIBED BUT IF YOU HAVE SO MUCH TO GIVE WHY ARE YOU ARE HERE... ARE YOU TRYING TO SPREAD YOUR MESSAGE (WHICH MSG)

I would understand him.

Italian and Spanish are similar in a lot of ways. But it still requires a lot of effort to adapt, specially because native Spanish speakers talk waaay too fast for a non speaker to understand

@Arsene Wenga NBA hire this man.

I would understand him because I’m fluent

Tréanguló

true. Most trainers wouldn't be able to keep up with him.

It’s Jordan mentality. He made Kobe lol. 6>5.

Fax

DejOnTheEdge Videos bro they played in different eras and David Stern did not let Chris Paul trade so he does not get 6

DejOnTheEdge Videos Nah, Kobe made himself

And that's just facts really

No Cap!!

Off top

real sht!

make it happen

He also trained my brother and he won 3-peat A1 League

Mark David Mallorca whos your borjte

@Mark David Mallorca That’s incredible if I could I would go to him and ask if he could train me.

hes retired, he went out on top. I doubt he'd go back to the NBA unless there was a new jordan or kobe in town

This why we need more people like him : experts but knowing the sport 🏀 (played)

He also trained Charles Barkley, Hakeem Olajuwon, & Scottie Pippen.

Wish Allen iverson incorporated this dude & gained a new mentality

@@lilbru if he didn't want to practice, what makes you think he'll train😂. Jk but it would have been awesome to see

he made them

Omar Lo sucks that he had something wrong with his bones or else i’d bet he’d of gotten to workout with this guy

Did anybody else see his recent autopsy report... RIP Mamba

Multiassasin was something new revealed?

All those dirty players that step under him when he was lighting them up with his jump shot took a tool on his ankle and his achilles.

I'm amazed that he is saying the exact same thing that Lavar Ball was saying when it comes to weight lifting, conditioning, and taking care of his knees. Lonzo was having the same issues with his knees.

@@adrianpereira6684 Kobe overdone himself. he said he worked too hard to rest just about 3 hours a day

I swear ESPN over here like what is Lebron gonna eat for lunch today

GQ doing it right. Espn and fox are just like cnn . Just pushes their own agenda. Espn and lebron on each other’s nuts. They trying really hard to repair China relations 😂

@@Dilly_Dil1y pretty sure fox sports is now owned by Disney so they just added another propaganda outlet to their arsenal. Sad when GQ doing better at sports than "sports" outlets

Flyhighphilly yep. Hard to find a good news outlet that doesn’t push their garbage propaganda by changing the narratives of stories

It's almost as if their ignorance in sports keeps it unbiased I could be wrong

I will be the greatest of criminals

@@yesmymajestybut898 good point

I just commented this...everyone laughing at lavar like he's an out of touch old man but he knows what he's talkin bout

Just shows you far common sense can take you

Everybody hates on Lavar Ball but he truly has to be one of the best dads in the entire world. He built all three of his boys into pro basketball players and does nothing but sing their praises relentlessly. You could even argue that Lonzo and Lamelo were drafted as high as they were (and Liangelo is in the summer league) because he wouldn't shut up about them and they got a ton of press as a result. His wife is also in poor health and he has done so much to help take care of her. He gets press for all the wild things he says but I don't think you can say anything bad about him as a husband and father, at least as far as we know. When you look at it that way, he doesn't seem so crazy after all. He seems like a great guy who's just a bit quirky, and probably on purpose.

Whats it about?

I got it that book is amazing 👌

Facts, what’s it about?

Broden it’s about the mindset of the best of the best and what separates the average, the Allstars and the all time greats

Best book I ever read. Reading it for a second time.

Even though he helped tremendously

*ALWAYS BRUH!*

@Jay Woods Racist for no reason.

Jay Woods yeah I do... skin color has nothing to do with your knowledge of the game

Fortuna Namputu people will make anything about race I stg

@Jay Woods What does that even have to do with anything? You tellin me you can't train people if you are a particular skin color?

Yeah. Zion may be too big and explosive for his own good. He needs someone that can cultivate that talent.

Jarrett culver. He body type and play style fits mj and Kobe

North StarState he’s way to big to be jumping like that though; that’s a lot of pressure on his knees when he comes down

@@saidufofanah2210 Zion should be 250 lbs

​@@Blodia1990 He is officially listed at 284lbs. And at 6'7 that's insane. The weight of a center with the height of a SG/SF.

Same here bro.

@@nikiarr8104 you needed a random person to confirm that the great Tim Grover knows what he's doing?

@@nikiarr8104 oh ok no problem! I have to study too but I'm procrastinating a lot LOL. Good luck!

@@kevinbunn7915 weird

He hadnt even touched on technical kinesiology things. Those are freshman first semester type of stuff

Ok

The similarities in playing style were already being talked about in the mid-to-late 90s before Jackson & Grover ever worked for the Lakers.

You have it backwards. Phil and Tim Grover worked with Kobe BECAUSE he was like Michael.

Lebrons trainer is good too

@@joweyingram5502 Irrelevant to the topic.

Second after mike

Probably not. They probably just added that in to make it you know

kobe was trying to pull it down when he was on the floor so idk

Black bruce wayne

Which one? What is it called?

JEPG G Tim Grover - Relentless

@@irvinnicollier398 GREAT book 🤌🏽

Relentless is amazing! He opens the book talking about Kobe’s Achilles situation and how he dealt with it.

I listened to the audiobook. At least three times. :)

He left it all in the court.

Kobe, deservedly, is in the after life. Dude copied MJ in every way.

@@megacurlerer what do you mean, deservedly?

@@lucaslonchampt613 he means rightfully so

Facts.

Can't argue with results. I know I'm crazy but d Wade my fav out the 3

@@barryisa7353 Nothing crazy wit it tho. Dwade influenced a lot of smaller guys to be aggressive in the paint. L3gend

💜💛🐍

Weirdo

Cooln Dre ???

Same with Jordan

@@lexkanyima2195 I would say people look at Jordan as Superman and Kobe as Batman. I prefer Batman

will check that out for sure man 👍

Agreed

Just ordered it. Thanks man.

Julio Jimenez that’s a big move. Don’t wanna exaggerate but that was a book my father gave to me at 13 years old and it changed my outlook on life and motivated me to strive further for greatness. Hope you enjoy and get a lot out of it

Not "a" cleaner, but the cleaner

He issa goat trainer

Is it about mj or has mj got his own book

herui zeweldi it’s about tim...

Totally agree

🐍💜💛

How do you take out a concentric phase of a muscle system? Especially while doing a leg press? Did they just have everyone push up the platform and then have Kobe step in to lower it? He's basically just changing the tempo of the movement. It's not a new concept. The guy just basically made Jordan and Kobe workout and get stronger so their joints could take the punishment.

I feel like it’s only been recently that athletes have focused on lengthening, mostly because of Tom Brady.

YUNG KULA no one cares stfu

And dwade and scottie pippen

😂

I've been searching for this comment..

😂😂😂 good one

“ I sink MJ played really well tonight but could be better “

Many don't even have him in their top ten. I have him in my top 5.

Politics. Kobe, Mike, & Lebron always gonna be my top 3

I have him 4th, LeBron, jordan, and kareem for me go ahead

Kobe Bryant is my favorite player ever and it's not even close to anybody else. He has sentimental value to me and my family beyond words. But he should not be in the top 4 or 5 if we're actually looking at it closely. MJ, Magic, and Kareem are all undeniably better and should be ranked above him. Tim Duncan had a better resume overall (depends on if think that Popvich is better than Phil Jackson) and Shaq maybe the most dominant player in the 2000's if not ever. Bill Russell has the most titles even if he did play in a weaker era. I'd say about 7th is where he should be ranked.

Because LeBron is the mascot for cheating in NBA 2k, for example in NBA 2k19 in order to unlock the auction house you had to maintain a 30+ lead in the 4th against a Cavs team without LeBron.

He was just a man

Tim Grover is the Kobe Bryant of fitness trainers.......

anthony lovett Tim Grover is the d wade of fitness trainers

young savage98 Lol, D Wade is the Tim Grover of SG’s

anthony lovett it’s crazy that he really trained the top 3 sgs of all time 🔥....Tim is a straight up legend 💯

young savage98 I’m really surprised more players haven’t reached out to him over the years with the results he gets. He is a certified genius!

Wade too

what made him the goat

Would you like to see my black mamba?

I thought about that for B Roy, but I think his knee condition was degenerative. I dont think it could have been helped.

McGrady still would have still not made it out of the first round

We can only imagine 😔

Oh man Brandon Roy for sure but yea his knee condition was more chronic I think and on the arthritis level. So sad for such amazing talent

Everything’s gonna be alright

@Stoney Baby Love that bro
