Kobe Bryant on 60 minutes with Charlie Rose (2001) 

I can watch kobe interviews all day

"I don't wanna be the next Michael Jordan, I wanna be the first Kobe Bryant" spoken like a true legend

Amazing how his father told him" "we will love you no matter if it is 0 or 60".... Kobe last game scored 60 ... he made them proud

best player on the planet by far

RIP to the 🐐

So mature at a young age with incredible vision on his life. Kobe was just different. Miss him.

He was beautiful, damn

Man soo when I was in first grade I saw this clip of Kobe and he became my favorite player since then. It wasn’t his talent or how good he already was as a player that caught my eye, but it was his relentless work ethic that made him my favorite athlete/role model...my childhood superhero is now gone but the impact and life changing lessons you taught us will live on forever.#mambaforever

When you see his afro you know it's #8

wow!kobe was so real in this interviews!

Damn man miss this dude so much, Such a handsome guy, inspiring, a true legend and superhero. RIP Kobe Bryant you have impacted my life in so many ways.

Long live Kob 8️⃣/2️⃣4️⃣💜💛🏀🐐

He is so cute I used to love some kobe ❤️ especially that smile

i love to hear him talk about vanessa!. Kobe The Great!

RIP KOBE

I really felt him when he explained that he couldn’t understand that slang it can complicated if your not from around

This interview was in 2001 he only had 19 years left to live human life before he was taken

7:35 ohh yes he will..... this is the kobe i idolized when i was 9 years old, still gotta luv em

true. you can't blame him though. so much has happened to his image since then. i think he watches what he says now-a-days more than ever.

A true winner

watch 10:17 that is why he is so great.....my god his body language/face when he says it .....will miss that intensity

Thanks for the vid.

Damn it I miss his Afro

his main focus on the usa team was defense. i highly doubt it would be the same if he was in a run and gun offense.

I wonder how many ppg Kobe coulda averaged outside the triangle, like in a mike dantoni offense. Even he said its not his style of basketball.

I still can not believe he has gone ! Man

Kobe seems like a much more genuine guy in this interview compared to now. :/

RIP!!!

Kobe rocked the fro and the fisherman hats like no other back in those days, he should let his hair grow a little bit... maybe that will win him a title (lol)

@ wesmillz 11 years later its not even a contest lmao...... Beast among children

@LegendaryBlackMamba Daym i didnt even know that and im one of the biggest kobe fans

Kobe was actually named after a Japanese City called Kobe not steak. In America his name was pronounced Ko-Be when the factual enunciation is Ko-bey spelled like Kobe but with a hyphen over the E💯

@Rsaint17 if you didn't already know that then you weren't ever one of the biggest kobe fans!

7:29 this dude Charlie Rose got his collar pop smh this was the 90s

we just got the title rockin' the fade

well the interviewer is charlie rose, so the questions aren't probing and stupid like stephen a's might be

@reneperezz no actually i did, that was the season he scored 81...... it just hit me hard when i saw 35.1ppg i just had to go check it again

there was no one before vanessa. yeah, ok.

@tredacinque yea hes much more rugged and less open

#KB24EVER

very true kobe's awesome either way though lol

oo

The haters.

mamba mentality, going game speed during workouts 5:12

lol. definitely.

Kobe > LeBron

3:36 is how much an uplifting caring father means to a son..i wish joe would've realized how much he ddint protect kobe from Kobe's mother selfishness
