I used to watch this video so much during high school and after to get myself pumped up before hooping. You would have been 45 years old today Kobe, you inspired me and millions of others. Still can’t believe you’re gone man..unreal.
A Legend was born, Kobe Bryant HS: 1x State Champ Junior Year: (31.1 PPG/10.4 RPG/5.2 APG) Senior Year: (31.8 PPG/12 RPG/6.5 APG/4 SPG/3.8BPG) Pennsylvania High School All-Time Leading Scorer: (2883 points, yeah more than Wilt'the GOAT' Chamberlain) PRO: 5x NBA World Champ 2x Olympic Gold 1x NBA MVP 2x NBA Playoffs MVP 2x NBA Scoring Champ 4x NBA All-Star Game MVP 1x Slam Dunk Contest Champ 30.000+ points (4th of all time)
"Bryant led the Aces to their first state championship in 53 years. During the run, he averaged 30.8 points, 12 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 4.0 steals, and 3.8 blocked shots"
I find myself looking at Kobe's highlights, knowing that the best player in his era is going to hang it up in the next season. What a sad reality for all of us who watched him grow these past 20 years...
+jomai2040 Absolutely. Too many wish to try and rank the greats or hate on them. I consider myself lucky to have witnessed his greatness right from the start of his career.
And now he's gone! He, his daughter Gianna & 7 others were killed in a chopper accident in Calabasas, CA on 26 January. Their bodies were buried in an Orange County, CA cemetery yesterday afternoon.
Its currently January 28th, 2020. 2 days since you and Gigi were taken from the world. I'm still waiting for you to tweet that you've awaken because people like you don't die. The Kobe Bryants of the world live forever. I used to love watching this after you retired, just to reminisce on your career. Now, I watch this to reminisce on your life. I fully believe your 2nd career was going to out shine your 1st. You're the GOAT. Rest Easy Kobe!! Rest Easy Gigi. Ready Easy to everyone else in that horrific accident. I hope we make you the logo. Love you, always.❤
sounds like what i said when watching him during his high school days; thought he could be the closeest thing to jordan, since jordan..and he has been that.
Kobe is the perfect blend of flashy and fundamentals what a lot of people don't understand is that if Kobe wanted to lead the NBA in assist every year he could. He is flat out one of the best SG in NBA history. I also love when people who hate the lakers (me being one ) talks about how he sucks
I'm just reading an article about just-out of high school Kobe at his pre-draft workouts. "The Lakers set it up at the old Fabulous Forum in Inglewood, Kobe matching up with Dontae Jones, a big, physical, 6-foot-8 senior who had just led Mississippi State to the Final Four. It was no contest; Kobe destroyed Jones from the word “go.” GM Jerry West came down from the stands saying ‘Shut down the workout’. He didn’t need to see any more. That was it. Game over." The Lakers got Kobe that draft.
kobe is all about winning and getting the glory becoming better the michael jordan making his name famous this video shows how he wanted 2 win the championship when he was in high school and he did not the 1st time but he did do it the 2nd time and kobe still has that mentality of winning till this day thats what seperates him from lebron and dwayne wade and thats why he has 5 rings and he won't stop until he passes michael jordan so he could be the all time greatest
i have a pretty good eye for talent, and ill make an early prediction: I think this kid will end his career as one of the all time scorers in the NBA and win multiple championships. Now, we only need to find him a dominating center.
