So glad Kobe had these moments while he was still here. He looks so happy and proud Any time the President acknowledges him or the team. Glad he got to see that in person. RIP MAMBA 🕊️
Here 24 hours after KOBE'S death. It has all not sunk in yet. I hope he is up high with his daughter as well as the rest of the 7 victims. My heart goes out to all. Much love.
Look at Pau behind Kobe. Who would have known that one day he’d be like “you’re gonna go first. But don’t worry, I’ll be checking in frequently and taking care of your family, my brother for life.” 😢❤
It hurts my soul knowing I can’t watch any new Kobe interview, watch Gigi blossom into a fine basketball player. It hurt my damn soul. One thing I will ever check off my bucket list is shaking Kobe’s hand. Rest in piece
@crtnyevans You have a point there but in contrast England had the first soccer league ever created and competition wasnt worldwide until many years later. When the English Football Association was created how many other countries had leagues? Right, but as today they are not called World Champions but Premier League Champions. I was just pointing out that by definition the term is wrongly used but it seems that by history it is also.
@fetassfui Look up his stats before 2008 he was starting and doing a great job but he had mad back injuries he's never been the same but phil is very loyal to his players so Luke will be there as long as phil is there
@itay2424 I think its just the guys who were apart of the championship winning team last season....thats y guys like Blake, Barnes and so on arent there
@parmezans That's a key point: enduring an NBA schedule. But I doubt they'd beat the Lakers, or even a poor team, like the Clippers, if an NBA team took it seriously. When Barcelona beat the Lakers, it was played in Barcelona, and guys like Bryant did not play hard because they didn't want to risk injury. If you look at Barcelona's roster, only three players would make an NBA roster: Ricky Rubio, Fran Vasquez, and Juan Carlos Navarro (maybe). Every single NBA player would make Barcelona's roster
Last year's presentation was better. The players were more animated and Obama was funnier. Magic should have come out again. Still a great video. It's cool that Obama is such a great sports fan, and the Lakers play like champions, whether they win a ring or not. For those of you who don't understand the reference "World Champion," it's been used for decades. Just like the "World Series" in baseball. It's meant to describe the NBA champion as the best team in the wold, and that IS the case.
lol at 3:26..."they (the Lakers) witnessed in person on Friday that my "Bulls" are showing some signs of life" hahaha god i have a sick mind...but im fair sure Kobe and Brown were thinking the same thing that i was lol
@stormwood78 Actually I do understand basketball, and I see you do, too. I agree with what you said, no European team would ever endure the NBA schedule, I also said NBA is the strongest league in the world. But in an individual game, Barcelona is better then most, if not all, NBA teams. I'm not a Barcelona fan by the way, it's just a fact that they're the best right now. Also, they played the Lakers and won 4, which doesn't really prove anything but does support my statements.
@stormwood78 I don't agree that every player in the NBA would make the Barcelona roster, I don't agree that the Lakers would destroy Barcelona, and especially don't agree that the worst team in the NBA would destroy Barcelona (or any other strong European team for that matter). But I do agree that if we observe teams from an "enduring NBA schedule" angle, no team in the world is better than any NBA team. So I'm sticking to my opinion that some EU teams could beat some NBA teams in single games.
they are world champions cause nba is the best basketball league on planet, any team of any country would be easly owned by lakers or by any nba team, thats the true P.D. im not american
WeezoG5 Matt barnes, Steve blake, the ratliff, and Devon ebanks were on the team at the time. They were not there because they joined after they won the 2010 championship. That 2011 team was stacked. They would have 3peat if shannon brown and pau gasoline didn't have their beef. Kobe would have tied jordan with a sixth ring. The lakers would have tied the celtics with a 17th championship. Lakers had trust issues
