It's insane, isn't it? Kinda makes you realize how precious life is and to live it to the fullest, not sweat the small stuff. Leaving behind a family, a newborn, it's easy to forget Kobe was human, too. Watching this again, it's so damn eye opening. His knowledge of the game shows why he was the GOAT
@@rheem5794 I've heard the same sentiment from a lot of folks, those who knew Kobe and his family and just fans. I believe that Kobe would be mesmerized by his impact. You know the man thought about his legacy if he were gone more than once I'm sure. But I doubt he or anyone could imagine just how incredible of an impact he left. Wish you the best!
Helicopters are dangerous and Kobe knew it..why he and Vanessa never flew together..so is surfing, mountain climbing, motorcycle riding..dangerous activites and risks involved.
I’ll never say “rest in peace” when it comes to Kobe. Kobe didn’t rest at all, he was intense and over achieved in everything he did. “Kobe doin Work” is an appropriate title cause that’s all the man did...so Work in Peace Kobe 💜💛2️⃣4️⃣🐍🙏🏾
This video gives me some ease after the tragedy because I see that he lived his life doing what he was passionate about. Not many people do that in their lifetime.
First watched this on the plane coming home from Iraq after my first 15 month deployment. I swear I forgot I was on a plane for over 15 hours. That mamba mentality was so valuable in the infantry. His lessons that were put into action will always be apart of me and my family! RIP 24 • 8 • 2
57:17 look at how ADORABLE Gigi and her big sister was! That really is heartbreaking 💔 she loves her daddy and looked just like him... even approached basketball with the same ferocity and dedication that he did! RIP Kobe and Gigi... 😢😢
You know when I heard the news, I cried and said the Lord's prayer. Gave me comfort in that moment. I'm glad this documentary was made. Year's ago, I had a newspaper clipping of Kobe after scoring 61 in the garden at my work desk. I thought, "this is Kobe doin work". I never realized how much I loved him being alive. RIP to those that died 26Jan2020.
This documentary is the reason why I went so hard on the court. My mental changed, my emotions were different when I got on the court. RIP Gianna and RIP Bean 💙💙
Even though I think Kobe pushed himself too far and caused some of his injuries that occurred when he was older, I do miss seeing that mentality in the NBA. I'd rather watch someone push themselves to make two free throws even after rupturing their achilles than miss out a game because of "load management".
this kills me i cant even imagine how precious natalia and vanessa find these clips, while at the same time hurting to see knowing poor gigi and her dad went together
In reflecting on all this man ment to me... this documentary came to memory and brought me so much joy. Rest in peace Kobe. Remember all the moments he brought us yall. Carry his legacy.
He's knowledge of basketball..just wow. Can't believe people dont want to play with him. He's always teaching. Maybe they think Kobe is "Mr. Know it all" truth is, he does know a lot.
Damn, it's not even hit me. I'm so shocked, it reminds me of two other times. When Michael Jackson died and 2pac was murdered. RIP Kobe 💔😢 Sunday, January 26, 2020
@@moisesrosado2057 I feel ya, just watched his final game, it's amazing the Lakers weren't making the playoffs and Kobe had been bothered still by that Achilles. His teammates, he said, actually told him instead of "Pass the ball" to "Don't pass the ball". 3:30 mins left, Lakers down 10 and Kobe brings em all the way back. Now the officiating was loose and understandable but it wouldn't have mattered because you could see Kobe not only willing them from ten down on his own. And his competive 🔥 still burned so hard because he wanted the win. He was so fatigued he was, on defense, James Harden. But if Harden was also blind and deaf and I say that sarcastically because Kobe saved everything because he knew he was gonna be getting the ball on offense. I wanna suggest, if you haven't watched it, "Kobe Doin Work". It's on RU-vid, award winning documentary he did w Spike Lee. Those unfamiliar, immediately after a Spurs game, Kobe goes immediately and breaks down the game from his fresh viewpoint. And I mean you can start to actually get in his process on the court, it is absolutely incredible. Even if you're not a huge basketball fan, Kobe is charismatic and keeps you engaged. Prayers up for the 9 souls and their families...a lot of families didn't have loved ones come home and have their kids tell em about the game. A husband has to now raise three young children whose mom isn't returning. I just couldn't comprehend that and that breaks my heart because young children will have a lifetime of grief. For a guy who played 20 years, spoke 9 languages, and became a 2$ billion dollar brand and entrepreneur, I don't wanna sound callous because 41 is young. But he truly embraced "Live everyday to the fullest, like it's your last." He can definitely say at the gates of heaven that he lived everyday to the fullest. This has shook me more than Michael Jackson, 2pac and I can't compare 9/11 but their both at the top.

I wanted to watch his final game found a certain channel was having it on at 9pm any suggestions where I could find and watch the whole game somewhere ty
@@moisesrosado2057 If you have ESPN, they aired it earlier and I would expect it to show again on ESPN or ESPN 2. The final game, really the last 3:30 minutes of the 4th is the must see. Kobe did have 61 but it took a lot of shots and misses. My best suggestion is right here on RU-vid, "Kobe Doin' Work", the full version is right near the top. I believe it's 84 minutes so you can watch on your own pace. And my next best suggestion would be on RU-vid again to search Kobe Bryant final game and you can find the last 3:30 minutes and also some videos are every shot Kobe took (I believe it's over 50 field goal attempts).
As a life long Boston Celtic fan, I naturally had a strong dislike for Kobe ( especially after beating us in the finals) This Doc, made me respect Kobe, & realize exactly how good & smart he was as a player. All NBA fans should check this out. RIP Kobe
Watching the Lakers offense now is like watching chaos at the highest degree. Lebron dribbling the ball at the top of the key while everyone else stands around watching. It was such a treat to watch the triangle offense as it was being executed. There was constant movement, screens, players flashing, and guys cutting to the hole. You just don't see this kind of sophistication within the Lakers offense now.
Long post: I had a great ball career from 12-20 yrs old, then fell off until last year. 13 years away from the game. Joined church league basketball and had 2 very solid games. Then last weekend, I went 1-6, with two airballs. I couldn't remember where to be and how to move on the court. I watched the first quarter of this on the treadmill at my gym this morning. Very helpful. I love learning from this guy and the commentary is an added bonus. Going to focus on pickup ball for a while, and forcing myself to positions I need to be, not just ending up somewhere on the floor. If turnovers happen, at least they will happen during useful improvements to my game. Have a great year, everyone
Very difficult to comprehend that he’s no longer with us. A true legend one of the greatest to ever do it, probably the most skilled basketball player of all time. Rest In Peace legend
I used to hate Kobe growing up, but it all changed after I watched this documentary by Spike Lee. My perspective on Kobe was totally different after watching this. He was a genius and a coach on the court. He was so technically sound. Paid attention to every detail. Even when I watched his “ Signature Moves “. Kobe was always 3-4 steps ahead of whoever was guarding him. To me, Kobe was the “ Most Skilled “ Player in NBA history. Even more skilled than Jordan IMO
100 percent. people dont view him like this but the fact that he stuck with the Lakers in some low low years without getting hurt or leaving or forcing some sort of scenario. Kobe didnt say shit usually against the Lakers even if he had Smush Luke Walton and donuts. Kobe can carry a shit team and make it look professional. You cant even buy that type of player branding. he'll drop 80 and kill a franchise in one game.....wtf
5:27 I'm a Spurs fan and I love that Kobe gave Manu some respect. I used to hate Kobe as a player because of how good he was. He was definitely a streak scorer. I admired Kobe after he retired and I realized how intelligent he was. #RIPMamba
Never had a chance to meet Kobe, but I truly feel like I lost a member of my family. I'm still sick over this. RIH Kobe & Gianna and the other victims that perished in this tragedy.
i remembered when this aired... its still my favorite piece that ESPN ever did... well thanks to Spike Lee.. it wouldnt be the same, but I would love to see this done with other players in the league.. just offers such insight
One of the few athletes who became a Legend before he even passed. Now the Legend of The Black Mamba will be even more Epic. This is rough! Much love from Philly KB
Kobe Doin Work, is my favorite videos. I love to see Kobe at his best "Doin Work" he was so energetic. He never stopped until he had accomplished his goals. He's so much fun to watch, when he is playing or practicing basketball. He reminds me of the energetized rabbit, always on the go. That's Kobe! RIP Kobe, RIP. You will always be One in a Million.
Kobeee!..😭💔🥺 We will miss u forever..😭💔 U will always be our greatest ever!..Always & forever my greatest world MVP..💛💜❤️ #legend#brilliantmind#mambaforlife#KB#24#8#neverbeforgotten#thebest#somuchloveforyou🙏🏻🍀💚
57:17 Kobe starts talking about his daughters, and how at the end of the day it's all about family. Truly a beautiful soul we lost. Hope you're resting peacefully Kob.
This was so pure and that’s the genius behind this Spike Lee joint. Imagine if Kobe drops 50-60 points doing this. This becomes a classic. The fact that Spike picks a random game in the middle of the season, Kobe was Capable of dropping that any night. Kobe doing work.
Anyone who doesn't mention the Spurs all time need to watch this. I remember staying up all night worrying about a fight I had the next day, and thinking, at least the Spurs can beat the Lakers.. And sometimes they did.
Watching this makes you understand just how brilliant and talented Kobe Bryant really was. He would have made one hell of a coach!! Only two basketball players ever had the mindset like this Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan!! I sometimes wonder if Kobe was not Michael's kid
Die hard Spurs fan! Used to hate the Lakers during our great rivalry, but watching this when it debuted, I started to respect the Lakers. I can’t quite remember when a reporter asked Kobe about the Lakers rivalry with another team and he laughed. He said “ there’s no rivalry, the Spurs and Lakers were a rivalry”
So many people disrespected KB's greatness. I feel he was taken for granted. Now we don't have him anymore. All we have now is...what if? How quickly they forget, now they will remember forever. RIP Kobe Bean Bryant.
