Why Kobe is Loyal to Phil Jackson 

Must be tough I'm surprised he won anything coaching those bums

Phil is a genius. Probably a bigger genius than MJ or Kobe.

In what sense

did 2pac also rape anyone?

they looked alike too

Yes I'm so in shock a great competitor he was and still a legend

What do you mean?

Um, Phil and MJ were.

not quite but they are up there. especially since how their relationship has evolved from what it was initially.

Except the Knicks

Carlos Inda no one can manage the Knicks

He usually does after a while

Wait for it. No one begins with main course before starters.

I tried to deny hiss exceptional greatness...had to give in to it.

@@roderickgrayson8254 Just curious, why did you deny his greatness to begin with?

dp4k you can’t curse on national tv 😂

MJ

Yes, they went in the same class in high school

LeBron cares about his teammates? The guy who destroyed Bosh and Love's careers to maximize his stat padding? The guy who quit in the 2011 Finals to prevent his teammate Wade from winning FMVP to keep his goat case alive? The guy who quit in the 09 and 10 ECF as soon as the Lakers advanced out west to avoid a goat-staining loss to Kobe's Lakers? The guy who quit in overtime of Game 1 of the 2018 Finals (his greatest game ever) after passing the buck to George Hill with everything on the line predictably backfired?

MJ was also mentally stronger than Kobe. Kobe costed LA titles while MJ was still more of a team player when it came to it. Don't get me wrong. Kobe was the most talented player that came out of his own generation. So is Lebron now. I never understood how fans like one and instead of appreciating another they automatically need to hate them. Its like 8yrs old fan mentality.

@@thsu8 now that is some extreme stretching there. You take your schizo pills today yet?

His ways are most legendary but let ask you what makes Red & Pat great coaches in their own right as well as Pop?

All fake

12 championships in 20 years, 14 finals appearances. His players (Kobe, Jordan, Pippen, Walton, etc.) All have a calm, masculine demeanor. Next level coach

Michael Yalcin where have u been for the past 20 years??

@@RegnovaScott Honestly I never got into basketball until the last playoffs; better late than never.

@@fathom2732 oh what thought he talk slow and dumb.. I wonder what brought you to that conclusion🤔.. foh clown

@@LocoAsasino I assume all athletes talk like 5th graders which if I were to bet on most of the time I'd win. Kobe is one of the highest IQ players I've heard speak in an interview. Care to tell ME what I'M thinking?

He always does. He just drops previews first.

@@MrAitraining I know I know. Huge pbd fan

Richy Rich stop

He runs a crooked and corrupt business. Of course he's like that.

I find what you to be very interesting so my question is what is toxic masculinity & femininity and how does it apply to society?

Wow that's what I was sorta of thinking Kobe seems like a good person but the more you look into his philosophy its pretty dark.These guys think especially the elite players believe there own hype like Kobe wants everybody to become a winner like him if you do this and that but then pushes occult and magic practices and that will give the edge to be a winner wtf. I actually think he was a very spiritually conflicted person.I ran with it and and made him a saint when I heard he went to church before he died cause I'm catholic.,but the more you investigate his background you wouldn't agree with his slant on life and pushing occult magic type crap on kids.Their is an interview with Tracy Magrady that Kobe always told him he wanted to die young so he could be immortalised now that their is not normal Satan made believe that was good smh.

Man a year later and you really rambled huh Disclaimer! I don't believe in Omegaverse either, it was the interviewer that brought in the vocabulary of "Alpha" not Kobe. Kobe grew up a disillusioned, cynical, obsessive, arrogant person who made many a mistake, derailed Phil's teams, got into controversy etc. But he grew up which is what is important to me. I wouldn't blame you if you thought the swaggy vocabulary and blah blah blah was all an act, but Kobe had been that way for most of his life, and in fact I think he is less pretentious with it now than he was with it then. From what I've read he is often brutally honest with his fucked up, flawed nature, but his main motif is him trying to think about and conceptualize how he can overcome that hump. I think a lot of reasoned, seasoned grownups I've talked to often speak like he does. I've run into people who think "troglodyte" isn't a big word as well. It's about perspective. I think Kobe was fairly adjusted. I've seen classic NBA players who continued to be arrogant after they retired. Take Allen Iverson's painfully irresponsible living and Wilt putting down Jordan's accomplishments. Being an Athlete is not a cakewalk. Far from it. If it was so easy why wouldn't everyone do it? It's lucrative, you play a sport that is engaging and fun and you get to have fame, success, glory etc. You might say, "well, if I was big and physically gifted, I could play in the NBA easily!" If you believe that, I think you wouldn't understand how many gifted athletes go into the NBA and flat out fail. It's an 82 game grit and grind season followed by the brutal playoffs. You need to be mentally strong as you are physically, or you simply won't be able to make it. "athletes say is all about hard work, but they dont know how much hard work is until they take a university degree and start studying, study for hours and hours, and afte 5 to 6 start getting their experience is fields such as biology, psychology or accounting. " Let's see you do what the best athletes in the world do then. Face consistent workouts, 82 games a season, strict diet plans, being away from your home and your family, constant travel, heckling from fans and criticism from critics across the world. I don't care who you are, that will take a toll on ANYBODY. My father is a doctor, I am a university pre med student and I come from an asian culture of hard work, studiousness, discipline, and excellence in school, sports, music or ANYTHING ELSE you can do. With all the work Academia takes, I would be a damned fool to take away from the incredible amount of work being a professional athlete takes. "As if the rest of the world doesnt work hard" They never said the rest of the world doesn't work hard. But hard work was as essential as breathing air for them to be successful on a professional level. Do you think you ACCIDENTALLY get into the NBA?? "hes an athlete, all he has to do is practice, whats so hard about this." I have to double take, and keep coming back to this. You don't seriously believe it all boils down to this?? Im sure there are many prospects who train and train constantly to make an NBA team, but you know that out of the several millions, and billions of people who would LOVE to play in the NBA, you know that there are only 400(!) total NBA players in the entire league? A benchwarmer would absolutely torch me in a game of 1v1 and I don't even consider myself to be bad at all " toxic masculinity is what elliott hulse preaches, sweaty alpha male posturing machos with prison wire tattoos on their biceps" Wow... Look at all the great legends of the game. Magic, Kareem, Bird, Jordan, Kobe, LeBron, Garnett, Duncan, Nowitzki, Nash etc. If you call them sweaty "alpha" prison simpletons I don't know what to tell you. All of these people tout hard work as a pillar to win. Is this a coincidence? When other players party and mess and sleep around, they are studying, working challenging and focusing on being the best they can be. They have a spirit, a true north star, a vision and pure focus that launched them to become truly special. No matter what walk of life you come from, you have to respect that. " i dont believe being an athlete is hard at all, if all you have to do is practice and eat well" The more I look back the more things I find... if it was so easy, wouldn't everyone do it if they could? Why do so many people despite all the exercise and time they put in, are fat and unfit? How many people (and I'm familiar with this, I sometimes find it hard to play with people) lack the technical skill of handling and firing a basketball with proper form? How many people don't understand the workings and ways offensive and defensive sets of basketball operates? Steve Nash. One of my all time favorites, if not my absolute favorite player of all time. You think exercising and eating well would be enough for him? MILLIONS of people do that. Only 400 make the nba. Versus giants and people with physical and competitive edges, he needed to be world class in terms of skill and finesse. I feel like if you're outright denying the backbreaking work it takes to be a professional athlete you are being delusional. An NBA player (who actually stays in the league) will have to work harder than a janitor.

R u hearing what Kobe said about keeping calm in the midst of trouble , and how the mentorship of Phil Jackson impacted him and how their coach had to manage Kobe and shaq. That can also be applied entrepreneurially

Don't be complicated just don't watch what you don't like and watch what you do.

I think you missed the point

And you are an expert how lol?

You can go fuck off now

@@JimmyVu415 he said that long time ago it's not like he said it recently so you shut the fuck up you midget
