This channel is underrated the amount of time and effort in this video is just beyond legendary. I wish you success in the sports industry, you clearly have a talent in media.
Idk why u kept using mirror image/vid... which is no good. And why u skip the 3-peat? Especially kobe s 2001 playoffs performance are all time great...
I still can’t believe Kobe isn’t here anymore, RIP to the legend he will never be forgotten. His career and life is something that will be admired forever
THE EDITING HOLY SHIT! Idc if nobody reads this the amount of work and skill that went into this is insane! The close up archive footage, the audio transitions, the script, just all around amazing work
@Shawn. Thanks for the best and most honest analysis of Kobe that I ever read. He was a punk who missed out on being the GOAT because he is as so arrogant and selfish.
He was lucky to grow up in italy and have the ability to see cultures. When he came to States for his last yr of School. He turned into a snotnosed diva. His first NBA allStar game he shrugged of Hall of famer who came ro set him a pick. Then he lost the ball going 1 on 1. Ran off Shaq cause he was MVP IN 2 FINALS. Was more worried about him being Jordan. Plus first 2 titles were only cause Kings giving the 6 7 game to lakers at home. Then Portland doing same next year. Look at Kobe stats in Pistons 4-1 finals. Took at least 30 shots a game. Shot 38%. Turned the ball over 30 times with 19 assists. Shaq still avg 26pts kobe 22. I get that your city likes their players. He was not only selfish he was snooty.
@Nancy Goulet Thank you for the comment! KZclip has a "Super Thanks" feature underneath the video that you can select if you wish to donate something! There's several options to choose from. I appreciate the support!
@Trice hey please respond and tell me where to send my donation I want to help and be apart of your cause and donate to your work you made a great video of my idol my hero some one I truly look up to and someone and taught me the things and ways of how I live my life now thank you again rip Kobe and Gigi them and the other kids and familys are truly missed!!
When Jerry West said “others wouldn’t dare shoot again after 2 missed airballs in elimination game” and yet Kobe did…. that shit teared me up! In a good way. Really miss Kobe even till today. I know there’s always somebody who think about Kobe everyday
@paysonfox88 did I say championship or did I ask "how many playoff series did Kobe win without Shaq or Gasol " I love how you avoided that simple question to type a novel.
@B Knochel the same amount of championships that Michael Jordan won without Scottie pippen. We can all go around and these old arguments if you want. Heck, we could even say the same amount of championships that Bill Russell would have won without Bob koozie and Sam Jones. Or the same amount of championships that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar would have won without magic Johnson and Oscar Robinson. You want to go that way? Teams win championships. But if you want two examples of an individual literally winning a championship with next zero help. I'll give you a couple. One was in the late sixties with Wilt Chamberlain and no other stars against the Celtics and they won the NBA finals that year. I think it was one of his Philadelphia teams that did it and about 1967, but I'm not sure the exact year. And the second one is Dallas Mavericks 2011 with Dirk nowitzki and a bunch of washed up has been and benchwarmers. If there was ever a case for a man carrying a team on his back, it was 2011 Dirk nowitzki
Although he was not extroverted about the situation, Tim Duncan did match him in intensity and the focus. 15 NBA all defensive teams is not an accomplishment made by someone without intensity and focus. Five championships were also won by Tim Duncan's teams in the same era. The man took pay cuts to ensure the success of his team... If there was one guy who could match Kobe it was Tim Duncan.
I have seen just about every single Kobe video on KZclip and this is easily the best one. Very informative, very well thought out, very inspiring. Absolutely amazing work.
They say that what goes up must come down. Kobe's life may have ended in a tragic crash, but he will always remain elevated in the annals of history as one of the best to grace the NBA. We miss you mamba.
I watched Kobe hit a game winner in Boston, while wearing a Kobe jersey at TD. They yelled all sorts of things all game and when he hit that shot 20,000 people went quiet, it was wild.
@Machi CorleoneThey hate him. The only reason why they don't boo him is because MJ bought something extra to the game, "HIS SHOES' everybody wanted a pair of "Jordan." Hell, old as I'm I wanted a pair, but my son always wanted and needed a pair of "Jordan" every school year, at least 2 pair. Kept me broke. MJ was popular, he was the most popular player on the court. He made the young Dudes think that he could walk on water, flying threw the air, with his tongue hanging out like he really didn't care. That was and is MJ.
@SuperDopeHipHop in comparison barely anyone hates MJ. I mean even the opponents he trampled and prevented from winning championships are just neutral toward him. They don’t hate him. He is that big in basketball.
@Subscribe 2 Benji Shorts That LeBron will never ever ever ever be better than MJ or even Kobe? Yes I’ve known this already since he joined the league.
I think about Kobe Bryant everyday, his dedication to his dream and success are unparalleled - He’s the greatest, always will be the greatest, and he’s your favorite person’s greatest, that’s Kobe Bean Bryant.
I watched Kobe tie the game at the buzzer against the pistons during his black mask saga. It was a bucket list moment for me and I screamed like a woman lol. I miss him every day ♾️
I miss Ko8e. The world literally began to unravel after he left us. He forever lives in my memory of a time when we were less divisive. We were better people when Ko8e was with us. Xx
I can’t begin to explain the array of emotions felt during this documentary. This is a true gift. To be able to go back and watch why we know Kobe to be one of the greatest of all time and to be able to show future generations who Kobe was and how the Mamba Mentality came about. There can never be enough gratitude or a price for what you have created for us. 🙏🏼
I appreciate the support! Kobe set an ultimate example of what it meant to be dedicated to your craft and it was an honor to put together a project that embodied that. Glad you enjoyed!
If Shaq wasn't traded, this team would have won at least 2 more championships! One of the top 2 players ever and arguably right up there with Showtime! These 2 Laker teams were the best ever!!! Kareem and Magic and Shaq and Kobe, it doesn't get any better! We were spoiled here in LA with such dominant exciting memories!!!! I'm glad I was born here and even got to see Wilt and West in 72 ,I was 8 years old! God Bless all the Purple and Gold and Thank you for the Memories Mamba!!! Love you Brother 🙏🇱🇷❤
Beautiful video. Wasn’t born until 1998 but Kobe was my idol. Haven’t touched a basketball in years but I try to live my life with a mamba mentality no matter what I’m doing. Rest easy goat, and thank you for everything
Touch a basketball. Kobe would tell you the same. You're young. I was born in 1980 I'm 6ft and I'm trying to dunk again in these next few years. Never let basketball die.
I started playing Basketball when I was 5 years old, back in 1995! I was born a Laker fan. My mom was a Laker fan, it was only natural for me to be a Laker fan. Once we drafted him in 1997, he instantly become my Role Model. I grew a Fro and wore #8....he was all I ever wanted to be on the court! I got to see him play live, once in my lifetime. I still got the tickets to that game! Kobe. A name that will never die! 💜💛 🙏🏾 I thank God I got to witness you in this life time! #B.O.A.T #8=24
Kobe if u could ever hear this....I thank u being a mentor for me n in life u helped me more then anybody ever could n especially after my mom past away...thank u n may u n you're daughter rest in peace ✌️
Him talking after the draft about one day being 40 looking back at his career is just sad. We would have never imagined he would only live one more year than that. Live life to the fullest.
This is such masterful story telling. Instant follow. Had me glued to my phone the whole time. I loved that you avoided using milestones as a story plot and went straight to an actual story to tell. I never grew up watching kobe before 08 so I had no real sense of his dominance other than highlights. But the way you captured the realism of the moment is perfect. I appreciate this very much.
Great work man. Thanks. I hope the younger generations come acrossed this many years down the road. Especially that one kid in particular who has that extra something inside of him, isn't sure what to do with it, and then uses this as his inspiration to become one of the greatest of all time, at whatever he does.
You will be forever missed Kobe Bryant, you taught me a lot of lessons not only applicable to basketball but in real life as well. To me, you're my superhero.
Phil knew what that team could become with him at the helm!! That man is the greatest coach ever! I think that must have something to do with Steve Kerr being such an incredible coach who too has helped create, & maintain thru adversity, a dynasty!! In other news, man I miss the grit & tuffness of old school basketball 🏀 !! They have made the game extremely soft nowadays, but it is still pretty exciting to watch (for me anyways). Incredible video homie, God bless u & your family!
@Trice why would u thank someone for doing something that benefits them?! People don't make/record video's just to please complete and utter strangers out of the goodness of their heart (obviously)!!
I really miss Kobe Bean! Was really looking forward to see what kind of mark he’d leave on the league after retirement and not just as a player. Dude had a huge heart!!! Take it easy on everyone up there on the courts in heaven, Kobe! But never stop having fun and making those around you better. Love ya, Kobe. Thank you for giving all of us all of you!
Kobe’s death hit me harder than anyone outside of family surpassing Steve Irwin. I still can’t accept it. Kobe was my mentor I owe much of my success to the “Mamba Mentality” he taught me. I was ashamed of being; arrogant, demanding, stubborn, masculine but Kobe and Conor Mcgreggor made me accept those traits and own it. Now I’m the more successful than I ever thought I could be. I will always see Kobe as a mentor not a basketball player.
That Kobe vs Carmelo 7 game series was one for the ages both in their prime years both scoring more than 25 ppg that year and scoring more in the playoffs it's was fun to watch and I'm happy I was able to watch it and appreciate it when it happened live! RIP to the goat in my eyes.
So I haven't even finished watching this documentary but I just had to subscribe to your channel for the simple fact of how well this video was put together! Salute from Melbourne Florida
loved this video man, made me teary eyed a few times reliving the 09 and '10 seasons. i always believed the 2010 ring was kobe and the lakers' birthday gift to me (birthday is june 18) and thats the one i remember most. the only thing missing is kobe's post game interview after game 7 in 2010, when he was asked "what does this win mean to you personally?" He responds in the most kobe way, with an arrogant grin on his face: "got one more than shaq. and you can take that to the bank!"
Wow this is the best documentary of Kobes career that I have ever seen!!!! I witnessed his greatness and you just reminded me of it! Thank you so much!!
As a kings fan I’m salty the kings lakers rivalry wasn’t hit on during the era or the Shaq Kobe dynasty, but I get it for a pure Kobe documentary. Was well done and great to watch. RIP to an all time legend, ❤️ Kobe
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed! If you're a Kings fan, I have a documentary on Jason Williams that you need to check out. Here's a link: kzclip.org/video/DiTT070LTAg/бейне.html
I really enjoy your vids. Your editing, choice of soundtrack, writing and narration are all excellent. The Book of Kobe is my favorite Kobe documentary. I’ve watched it probably half a dozen times.
I remember playing NBA jam 1998 where Kobe would Dunkin from the three point line 🤣 made me start watching basketball and Kobe made me love basketball . Goat skill wise
He isnt even top 5 lakers. He is 15 to 20 to me. First 2 titles were cause kings and blazers choking. Ran off shaq. Look at his stats in pistons final. Selfish. More worried about him being Jordan than being himself. I just saw him as a phoney person.
I agree with you 💯 percent, Lowrekus Wardlow. Da Mamba is/was & forever will be 'The Hands Down Greatest,'. No disrespect to Mike, but he took dude's moves and made them better. SMMFH... The polish on his game is something I don't think will ever be rivalled... I just hate that we won't get to see Kobe grow into an elder statesman, to find out who he truly would've become in his life outside basketball 😳🖤💯
I am so glad I came across this today .. awesome job and I love the footage!!! RIP Kobe, I am so glad to watch your emergence and success while you were here.
Wow, I felt like I learned more about Kobe's NBA history again with this awesome documentary. This made me missed him again 😮💨 He's my hero and the reason why I'm still playing competitive basketball at the age of 46.
When I feel like I suck at my business or things are going bad I watch whatever I can find on Kobe’s work ethic and somehow go on a tear for months on end. First time on this video and channel though. Great stuff.
After seeing this it makes me even more excited to see how JT comes back🙏🏽 he played hard that series against a veteran team and it reminds me of that Utah elimination game
this why he’s my favorite player the will, determination, the drive, ambition, and never look Back attitude the way loved the Game i’ve never Seen anything like it Growing up how he pushed the limit on his passion for the Game was masterful RIP legend ❤️🤞🏾
@Trice I guess Jordan, Bird, Magic were not driven !!!. Kobe is not even in top 5 players in laker history to me. Baylor. West. Kareem. Magic. Worthey could have avg 30 on any team as the main go too. Wilkes was also a TEAM player. Shaq was chase away cause Kobe was a selfish snotnosed baby. Wilt? Kobe and Shaq got lucky just to get to 1rst 2 finals. Kings then Blazers collapsed epically in West conf. Finals. Llok at Kobes stats in finals loss to pistons. Ballhog lost shooting 38% from 2. 25 from 3pt. Had 40 assist to 28 tos ok not exact but about 1.5 to one. Shag still avg 26 pts to kobes 22. Great player but more worried about him being the guy to get headlines. Shaq won 2 avg 38 38 and 13 15.
Kobe is such an underrated when it comes to defense. He was one of the best defenders of all time. One of the greatest defenders to never won a D.P.O.Y.
My favorite basketball player of all time that guy broke my heart when he left us may god bless his soul and thank you for this video bro you a real GOAT ❤️✅
Glad you enjoyed! If you like sports documentaries then you'll love the content on this channel. We have hours of quality, original basketball documentaries from different eras, with plenty more coming this year!
Job well done. The content of this video was amazing and should be part of his legacy. Thank you for your patience and time you made this video Worth watching from beginning,till the end.
52 yrs old I am, cried watching this. RIP MAMBA. You and MJ changed lives with your performances , unlike these candy ass run to the 3 point line overrated AAU clowns
Dude I’m so happy I found your channel you’re telling these story’s so great I’m learning so much about players I thought I knew everything and taken me back to memories I loved so much growing up outstanding jobs bro 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@Trice that’s awesome man look forward to seeing what you put out next I know it will be well done haven’t made it through all your videos yet will take a long time lol but you ever do one on Shawn kemp the rain man ? If not think that would be a great story if so hopefully I will find that one soon much respect bro 👊🏻
First person on YT to put context to Kobes numbers and performance before '01. KB was a real ball player and a stat sheet can't measure his intangibles an IQ. I called him GOAT cuz he took what was given and made a HOF career out out of it.
First thanks for the narrative. Second I miss Kobe. Last I had the chance to go to every game that season met Lamar Odom in Sherman Oaks we used to live close by in Ventura Blvd. down to earth dude ever since his days as a Clipper. Excellent job here ❤😥
Kobe and I are the same age and graduated from high school the same year and, the cool thing about all that, I lived and grew up in Los Angeles so to watch him come to LA and be able to see him regularly from the very start of his career, in hindsight, was awesome! I often wondered how much different his career would have been had he been in a situation with a coach like Phil Jackson from the start who didn’t have any pressure to perform or was never on the hot seat with the Lakers. That allowed him to truly coach Kobe properly without having to worry about the pressure of winning now or getting fired. He was able to be patient with Kobe. Del Harris, in his defense though, was under so much pressure to win immediately when Kobe arrived, especially with the addition of Shaquille O’Neal that same summer, that he seemed to coach like he was torn between letting Jones and Van Exel play and carry the load because he HAD to win and/or letting Kobe get in there no matter what and have that chance to learn while playing. I think that’s stress on Del Harris is what kept Kobe from developing more during his rookie season with all the up-and-down playing time which, in my opinion, is why he was so tired in his legs in the playoffs, especially in that series versus the Jazz. That’s why he had that rough playoffs against the Jazz leading to all those airballs at the end and then slowly developing over those first four years before Phil Jackson arrived. Any other young rookie would not have been able to deal with Dell Harris’ up and down decision making with his playing time, but Kobe Bryant was mature enough to deal with it and to grow and to take his opportunities and he developed well despite Del Harris being on the hot seat. That says a lot about the young man’s character! Great job on this video, bro. Loved it!
@Trice Honestly Eddie Jones should've came off the bench in Kobe's rookie season. His rookie season per 36 minutes he averaged 17.6 PPG 4.3 RPG 3.0 APG 1.6 SPG. 0.8 BPG
Great comment! I agree that his career could have been totally different had he not had to deal with Dell Harris from the beginning, but at the same time I saw several interviews where Kobe said those first couple years were the lowest point of his career and motivated him even up until he retired. Everything happens for a reason and I think those first couple years were the spark he needed to achieve greatness! I'm glad you enjoyed the documentary and I appreciate your comment!

I still can’t believe Kobe isn’t here anymore, RIP to the legend he will never be forgotten. His career and life is something that will be admired forever
Kobe stepped on Michael Jordan's toes
Had to go
He's still here bro. Every time you ball up that piece of paper and toss it in the trash and yell. "Kobe"
Same NBA Backcourt Media. Same
Meen either,he was a legend, the best player ever,you will be missed Kobe Bryant 💔😭💔😭♥️💐🌹💜💛💜💛💜💛
P000
THE EDITING HOLY SHIT! Idc if nobody reads this the amount of work and skill that went into this is insane! The close up archive footage, the audio transitions, the script, just all around amazing work
I said a similar comment…. It’s really well done!
I thought the same thing, stole the words out of my mouth.
I appreciate you!! Glad you enjoyed!
His answer to why he skipped college for the nba at 17 years old was absolutely phenomenal
@Shawn Young imagine glossing over all his good stats and accolades
@Shawn Young imagine tryna drag kobe
I believe he made it to 40 to see so hell yeah ✊🏾
@Shawn. Thanks for the best and most honest analysis of Kobe that I ever read. He was a punk who missed out on being the GOAT because he is as so arrogant and selfish.

This is not just the greatest Kobe documentary but one best and detailed documentaries I've seen in a long time. Well done!
Rip Kobe, wow, what a powerful soul.
I definitely and totally agree.

I remember these series like It was just yesterday. I cried in middle school and I’m in tears right now. RIP Kobe, forever a legend
RIP Mamba🐍🕊️
When Jerry West said “others wouldn’t dare shoot again after 2 missed airballs in elimination game” and yet Kobe did…. that shit teared me up! In a good way. Really miss Kobe even till today. I know there’s always somebody who think about Kobe everyday
Kobe will always be my GOAT 🐐 His mentality, determination, and drive was unrivaled. RIP Kobe

@TheRealist1 how do numbers determine skill? I would love to hear this Steven A ignorance.
@Keith Joseph if you say so... Just go look up numbers since you didn't watch.
Kobe really is one of kind like MJ. Playing with injury - Total Respect! RIP Kobe
RIP🐍🕊️
I have seen just about every single Kobe video on KZclip and this is easily the best one. Very informative, very well thought out, very inspiring. Absolutely amazing work.
You ain’t lying this was good
Thank you! I appreciate the support and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
They say that what goes up must come down. Kobe's life may have ended in a tragic crash, but he will always remain elevated in the annals of history as one of the best to grace the NBA.
We miss you mamba.
The most famous felon in the NBA.
Forever a legend!! RIP Mamba🐍🕊️

@SuperDopeHipHop LeFlop did not play against as many and did not have the same impact Globally as Kob

@SuperDopeHipHop Kobe may have had haters, but no one could shut them down like Kobe Bean Bryant, The #GirlDad. Oh, yeh! We're loving it! Go Kobe!
@SuperDopeHipHop in comparison barely anyone hates MJ. I mean even the opponents he trampled and prevented from winning championships are just neutral toward him. They don’t hate him. He is that big in basketball.
“I wanna take my talents-“
I didn’t know Kobe said it first.. 🐐
He didn't get got that from Ron Jeremy
and it was 14 yrs later when LeQueen copied right,
Shmoney Myke he said it mainly cause of a bet by his friend.
@Subscribe 2 Benji Shorts That LeBron will never ever ever ever be better than MJ or even Kobe? Yes I’ve known this already since he joined the league.
It was an honor to watch this man play basketball. Eternal Kobe.
I think about Kobe Bryant everyday, his dedication to his dream and success are unparalleled - He’s the greatest, always will be the greatest, and he’s your favorite person’s greatest, that’s Kobe Bean Bryant.
@Nakia Naomi made this play list Barney fr
Did you think of him today, doubt it
The media myth lives on.
Creepy
The world went to shit right after he passed. Incredible story of focus and determination of an amazing athlete.
@DrDisInfect 😷 Yeah and anyone else who lost loved ones due to covid
For you maybe
I watched Kobe tie the game at the buzzer against the pistons during his black mask saga. It was a bucket list moment for me and I screamed like a woman lol. I miss him every day ♾️
Don't matter what the debates are. KOBE will always be my GOAT. Rip 🙏 Mamba Forever!!
I'm an MJ fan but "The Mamba" was a goat too.
Same here. Kobe the goat
Why you like him? what part of his game you like the moast?
I miss Ko8e. The world literally began to unravel after he left us. He forever lives in my memory of a time when we were less divisive. We were better people when Ko8e was with us. Xx
wow thank you for this took me back to the good ole days, RIP KOBE THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU GAVE TO THE SPORT AND BEYOND THAT
Glad you enjoyed. RIP Mamba 🐍🕊️
I can’t begin to explain the array of emotions felt during this documentary. This is a true gift.

I appreciate the support! Kobe set an ultimate example of what it meant to be dedicated to your craft and it was an honor to put together a project that embodied that. Glad you enjoyed!
Thank you so much for this. I felt like I lost a family member when Kobe died.
That's a fact. Glad you enjoyed!
If Shaq wasn't traded, this team would have won at least 2 more championships! One of the top 2 players ever and arguably right up there with Showtime! These 2 Laker teams were the best ever!!!
Kareem and Magic and Shaq and Kobe, it doesn't get any better! We were spoiled here in LA with such dominant exciting memories!!!! I'm glad I was born here and even got to see Wilt and West in 72 ,I was 8 years old!
God Bless all the Purple and Gold and Thank you for the Memories Mamba!!!
Love you Brother 🙏🇱🇷❤
i think shaq being traded was good because kobe could prove he could win without one of the greatest players on his team
Nah the Pistons broke them
Uncle Zeke from cabin creek.
I live close to state highway 44 west in CA. Jerry was my idol growing up .
Beautiful video. Wasn’t born until 1998 but Kobe was my idol. Haven’t touched a basketball in years but I try to live my life with a mamba mentality no matter what I’m doing. Rest easy goat, and thank you for everything
Touch a basketball. Kobe would tell you the same. You're young. I was born in 1980 I'm 6ft and I'm trying to dunk again in these next few years. Never let basketball die.
Thanks for the comment! Cool how Kobe inspired so many people to excel at their craft and live a motivated lifestyle. RIP Mamba🐍🕊️
I started playing Basketball when I was 5 years old, back in 1995! I was born a Laker fan. My mom was a Laker fan, it was only natural for me to be a Laker fan.

My mom was a laker fan too
Kobe #8 was unguardable.........
That's a 🔥 story! Thanks for sharing.
Amazing documentary. I truly appciate the time and effort you put into this. RIP to the true GOAT Kobe Bryant. He would've loved this. 🙌💯💯
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it, I like to think that Kobe would've appreciated it as well.🐍🕊️
I remember watching that game when he left crying after missing those air balls and feeling bad for him , 😢 It made him a beast though
Nothing more motivating than failure!!
My goat. I get emotional watching these documentaries. I miss you Kobe. Rest in peace.
I can’t explain it but I’ll forever be sad that Kobe is gone, his mentality has pushed me through some hard times 🦋
🐍🕊️
We still miss you Kobe.. Still doesnt feel real... All those lives lost so sad..
Kobe if u could ever hear this....I thank u being a mentor for me n in life u helped me more then anybody ever could n especially after my mom past away...thank u n may u n you're daughter rest in peace ✌️
Him talking after the draft about one day being 40 looking back at his career is just sad. We would have never imagined he would only live one more year than that. Live life to the fullest.
That's a fact! RIP🐍🕊️
The true definition of HEART, GRIT,and DETERMINATION! Rest Easy Brother, you definitely did your thing here on earth🙏🏾
This is such masterful story telling. Instant follow. Had me glued to my phone the whole time. I loved that you avoided using milestones as a story plot and went straight to an actual story to tell. I never grew up watching kobe before 08 so I had no real sense of his dominance other than highlights. But the way you captured the realism of the moment is perfect. I appreciate this very much.
I appreciate the comment! Glad you enjoyed.
Great work man. Thanks. I hope the younger generations come acrossed this many years down the road. Especially that one kid in particular who has that extra something inside of him, isn't sure what to do with it, and then uses this as his inspiration to become one of the greatest of all time, at whatever he does.
That's the goal!! I appreciate the support and I'm glad you enjoyed!
We miss you Kobe. Lakers 4 life!
You will be forever missed Kobe Bryant, you taught me a lot of lessons not only applicable to basketball but in real life as well.
To me, you're my superhero.
You his son I'm guessing
Thanks Pal for this documentary. Very Inspiring & Masterfully done. RIP Kobe " the Black Mamba " Bryant
I appreciate the support! Glad you enjoyed it.
Him and his baby .. damn .. he never deserved that ending 😢
I'm not a Lakers fan!! But Kobe Bryant is a great player!! RIP!! 😭😭😔🤗😘✌️❤️
Phil knew what that team could become with him at the helm!! That man is the greatest coach ever! I think that must have something to do with Steve Kerr being such an incredible coach who too has helped create, & maintain thru adversity, a dynasty!! In other news, man I miss the grit & tuffness of old school basketball 🏀 !! They have made the game extremely soft nowadays, but it is still pretty exciting to watch (for me anyways). Incredible video homie, God bless u & your family!
I appreciate the support and comment! Glad you enjoyed.
Thank you for taking the time out and making this 🔥🔥👌🏾
@Trice why would u thank someone for doing something that benefits them?! People don't make/record video's just to please complete and utter strangers out of the goodness of their heart (obviously)!!
I appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed.
I really miss Kobe Bean! Was really looking forward to see what kind of mark he’d leave on the league after retirement and not just as a player. Dude had a huge heart!!! Take it easy on everyone up there on the courts in heaven, Kobe! But never stop having fun and making those around you better. Love ya, Kobe. Thank you for giving all of us all of you!
Kobe’s not taking it easy on anyone. Not Jordan, not god. Nobody.
Kobe’s death hit me harder than anyone outside of family surpassing Steve Irwin. I still can’t accept it. Kobe was my mentor I owe much of my success to the “Mamba Mentality” he taught me. I was ashamed of being; arrogant, demanding, stubborn, masculine but Kobe and Conor Mcgreggor made me accept those traits and own it. Now I’m the more successful than I ever thought I could be. I will always see Kobe as a mentor not a basketball player.
What an absolute legend he was. Thank you so much for this video.
Glad you enjoyed!
This is such a hidden gem. I'm glad I stumbled upon this today. Great documentary. Thanks for sharing this and for all of your hard work
I appreciate the love! I'm glad you found it as well! If you enjoyed this, then there's hours of content on my channel you should check out.
I'm on the train watching this with the waterworks going. RIP Kobe Bryant.
GREAT Man. RIP Legend.
Great work on this documentary. Truly one of the greatest to ever play the game. Sad that he’s not around, gone too soon :(
Thank you for the support! Glad you enjoyed.
That Kobe vs Carmelo 7 game series was one for the ages both in their prime years both scoring more than 25 ppg that year and scoring more in the playoffs it's was fun to watch and I'm happy I was able to watch it and appreciate it when it happened live! RIP to the goat in my eyes.
This brought back memories. Remember watching so many of these highlights live. Miss watching Kobe and hearing “momma there goes that man.”
So I haven't even finished watching this documentary but I just had to subscribe to your channel for the simple fact of how well this video was put together! Salute from Melbourne Florida
Thank you! I appreciate the support!
This was wonderfully written and produced. Just fantastic from start to finish.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed.
You taught me a lot of lessons not only applicable to basketball but in real life as well.
KB played wit so much heart I take my hat off to him greatest of all time
loved this video man, made me teary eyed a few times reliving the 09 and '10 seasons. i always believed the 2010 ring was kobe and the lakers' birthday gift to me (birthday is june 18) and thats the one i remember most. the only thing missing is kobe's post game interview after game 7 in 2010, when he was asked "what does this win mean to you personally?" He responds in the most kobe way, with an arrogant grin on his face: "got one more than shaq. and you can take that to the bank!"
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
Wow this is the best documentary of Kobes career that I have ever seen!!!! I witnessed his greatness and you just reminded me of it! Thank you so much!!
I'm glad you enjoyed!
Loved that three air balls anecdote and how revealing it was… Inspiring
Damn this hit close to home. Earliest memory of basketball is the lakers winning the finals for his fifth ring 😔
This might be the best Kobe career doc on KZclip.. well done my friend! RIP King Kobe
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed.
I miss you Kobe 😭 u really had an impact in my life.. that ending was sad 😢
As a kings fan I’m salty the kings lakers rivalry wasn’t hit on during the era or the Shaq Kobe dynasty, but I get it for a pure Kobe documentary. Was well done and great to watch. RIP to an all time legend, ❤️ Kobe
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed! If you're a Kings fan, I have a documentary on Jason Williams that you need to check out.

Was lucky to get to watch Mamba's career. Great memories. RIP ❤
Mamba Forever 🐍🕊️
I really enjoy your vids. Your editing, choice of soundtrack, writing and narration are all excellent. The Book of Kobe is my favorite Kobe documentary. I’ve watched it probably half a dozen times.
I really appreciate the support! I'm glad you enjoyed this project so much. There's more quality content on the way!
I remember playing NBA jam 1998 where Kobe would Dunkin from the three point line 🤣 made me start watching basketball and Kobe made me love basketball . Goat skill wise
R.I.P. to the 🐐 The greatest NBA player to ever lace 'em up.
@Shawn Young i’m sayin
He isnt even top 5 lakers. He is 15 to 20 to me. First 2 titles were cause kings and blazers choking. Ran off shaq. Look at his stats in pistons final. Selfish. More worried about him being Jordan than being himself. I just saw him as a phoney person.
I agree with you 💯 percent, Lowrekus Wardlow. Da Mamba is/was & forever will be 'The Hands Down Greatest,'. No disrespect to Mike, but he took dude's moves and made them better. SMMFH... The polish on his game is something I don't think will ever be rivalled... I just hate that we won't get to see Kobe grow into an elder statesman, to find out who he truly would've become in his life outside basketball 😳🖤💯
🐍🕊️
I am so glad I came across this today .. awesome job and I love the footage!!! RIP Kobe, I am so glad to watch your emergence and success while you were here.
I appreciate the support! I'm glad you enjoyed.
Greetings and blessings to the Greatest of All Time Kobe Bean Bryant you will be missed Rest in Power🏀🐐💜💛
I remember all of the finals game in 08-09-10 …the best finals I ever seen from
Kobe and the Celtics
That’s my goat !! 🥹❤️
Wow, I felt like I learned more about Kobe's NBA history again with this awesome documentary. This made me missed him again 😮💨 He's my hero and the reason why I'm still playing competitive basketball at the age of 46.
Glad you enjoyed and learned something new!
Kobe’s mentality is unique and now his daughters have it 🙏
Facts!
When I feel like I suck at my business or things are going bad I watch whatever I can find on Kobe’s work ethic and somehow go on a tear for months on end. First time on this video and channel though. Great stuff.
Love to hear it! Glad you enjoyed.
Bro this is documentary quality shit my boy.👏🏾
Yessir! I appreciate the support.
After seeing this it makes me even more excited to see how JT comes back🙏🏽 he played hard that series against a veteran team and it reminds me of that Utah elimination game
JT is soft! Or he will be a Laker
this why he’s my favorite player the will, determination, the drive, ambition, and never look Back attitude the way loved the Game i’ve never Seen anything like it Growing up how he pushed the limit on his passion for the Game was masterful RIP legend ❤️🤞🏾
@Trice I guess Jordan, Bird, Magic were not driven !!!. Kobe is not even in top 5 players in laker history to me. Baylor. West. Kareem. Magic. Worthey could have avg 30 on any team as the main go too. Wilkes was also a TEAM player. Shaq was chase away cause Kobe was a selfish snotnosed baby. Wilt? Kobe and Shaq got lucky just to get to 1rst 2 finals. Kings then Blazers collapsed epically in West conf. Finals. Llok at Kobes stats in finals loss to pistons. Ballhog lost shooting 38% from 2. 25 from 3pt. Had 40 assist to 28 tos ok not exact but about 1.5 to one. Shag still avg 26 pts to kobes 22. Great player but more worried about him being the guy to get headlines. Shaq won 2 avg 38 38 and 13 15.
His drive was unmatched!! RIP Mamba 🐍🕊️
In addition to Kobe winning the scoring title in '06 IMO he should've also been the DPOY that season. Defensively he was a BEAST !!!
Kobe is such an underrated when it comes to defense. He was one of the best defenders of all time. One of the greatest defenders to never won a D.P.O.Y.
Kobe's defensive accolades are something that really separate him from some other legends imo. He was incredible on that end of the floor.
My favorite basketball player of all time that guy broke my heart when he left us may god bless his soul and thank you for this video bro you a real GOAT ❤️✅
RIP Mamba🐍🕊️
Kobe winning his 2nd finals mvp and celebrating with his daughter. Made me tear up. Rest In Peace you two. Always loved.
- a Boston fan
RIP Mamba and Gigi🖤

This doc is underrated, big ups to Trice
I appreciate you! Glad you enjoyed.
People forget that Blazers team was stacked, that crossover on Pip and then the lob to Shaq was a defining moment for Kobe and Shaq.
That Blazers team was ridiculous. Very underrated.
I was at those two final home games. Best games 6 and 7 I lived to witness.
That's 🔥!!!
Job well done. The content of this video was amazing and should be part of his legacy. Thank you for your patience and time you made this video Worth watching from beginning,till the end.
I really appreciate the comment and you taking the time to watch it in its entirety! Months of work but it was worth it.
Yo 🔥 video man. I know you put so much work into this and it shows. Amazing depiction of kobes career. Thank you for this!
I appreciate the support! It was months of work and it came together perfect. Glad you enjoyed!
52 yrs old I am, cried watching this. RIP MAMBA. You and MJ changed lives with your performances , unlike these candy ass run to the 3 point line overrated AAU clowns
Dude I’m so happy I found your channel you’re telling these story’s so great I’m learning so much about players I thought I knew everything and taken me back to memories I loved so much growing up outstanding jobs bro 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Dynamic , combative & elegant player ever . Mamba 4 ever . R.I .P. 🏀🙏🏿
RIP Mamba🐍🕊️
My favorite player of all time the world miss you kobe.
🐍🕊️
First person on YT to put context to Kobes numbers and performance before '01. KB was a real ball player and a stat sheet can't measure his intangibles an IQ. I called him GOAT cuz he took what was given and made a HOF career out out of it.
First thanks for the narrative. Second I miss Kobe. Last I had the chance to go to every game that season met Lamar Odom in Sherman Oaks we used to live close by in Ventura Blvd. down to earth dude ever since his days as a Clipper. Excellent job here ❤😥
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed.
Definitely one of the best video of kobe on youtube I’ve watched. Great video! Rip Kobe!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed.
I used to skip work whenever LA had a game on TV. So was blessed to see all those legendary '06 games. In my book he's my🐐
Kobe and I are the same age and graduated from high school the same year and, the cool thing about all that, I lived and grew up in Los Angeles so to watch him come to LA and be able to see him regularly from the very start of his career, in hindsight, was awesome! I often wondered how much different his career would have been had he been in a situation with a coach like Phil Jackson from the start who didn’t have any pressure to perform or was never on the hot seat with the Lakers. That allowed him to truly coach Kobe properly without having to worry about the pressure of winning now or getting fired. He was able to be patient with Kobe. Del Harris, in his defense though, was under so much pressure to win immediately when Kobe arrived, especially with the addition of Shaquille O’Neal that same summer, that he seemed to coach like he was torn between letting Jones and Van Exel play and carry the load because he HAD to win and/or letting Kobe get in there no matter what and have that chance to learn while playing. I think that’s stress on Del Harris is what kept Kobe from developing more during his rookie season with all the up-and-down playing time which, in my opinion, is why he was so tired in his legs in the playoffs, especially in that series versus the Jazz. That’s why he had that rough playoffs against the Jazz leading to all those airballs at the end and then slowly developing over those first four years before Phil Jackson arrived. Any other young rookie would not have been able to deal with Dell Harris’ up and down decision making with his playing time, but Kobe Bryant was mature enough to deal with it and to grow and to take his opportunities and he developed well despite Del Harris being on the hot seat. That says a lot about the young man’s character!
Great job on this video, bro. Loved it!
@Trice Honestly Eddie Jones should've came off the bench in Kobe's rookie season. His rookie season per 36 minutes he averaged 17.6 PPG 4.3 RPG 3.0 APG 1.6 SPG. 0.8 BPG
Great comment! I agree that his career could have been totally different had he not had to deal with Dell Harris from the beginning, but at the same time I saw several interviews where Kobe said those first couple years were the lowest point of his career and motivated him even up until he retired. Everything happens for a reason and I think those first couple years were the spark he needed to achieve greatness! I'm glad you enjoyed the documentary and I appreciate your comment!
Kobe Bryant was a legend, you will be missed by your fans 😭❣️😭❣️😭😭😭❣️😭😭😭❣️😭😭😭😭❣️😭💔💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💛💜💛💜💛
@Trice he always will be missed and called The Mamba AKA Kobe Bryant 💔💔😭❤️❤️😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔👍👍👍👍👍👍💐💐💐
@Trice Yup 👍
Mamba Forever 🐍🕊️
Best documentary i ever watched. You are a legend and so is Kobe, keep up the good work.
I appreciate you! Glad you enjoyed.
Great upload! I named my puppy Gigi after his daughter. This video was hard to watch at first. Still cant believe it. Kobe The GOAT 🐍 👊🏽🧘🏽♂️
I appreciate the support! Hard to believe he's gone, but this project was my way of paying homage.🐍🕊️
