Here's our full interview with Derek Fisher discussing Kobe Bryant's evolution as a teammate...and father. "What he was doing after basketball was even more gratifying..." It's one of my favorite conversations we've had on The Story Is. It's been 6 years since Kobe died.

Kobe Bryant's 2006 playoff run against the Suns is one of the most heartbreaking stories in NBA history. He was one player against a machine and he nearly broke them anyway. This mixtape is for every Kobe fan who still thinks about what could've been.

Byron Scott says one of the biggest differences between LeBron James and Kobe Bryant was that Kobe never let opponents off the hook “One of the differences is when you see those two guys on a basketball court…” “LeBron will let you off the hook.” “It’s not a bad thing.” “Kobe will not.” “Kobe is trying to kill you.” “LeBron’s a lot nicer on that basketball court.” “Kobe’s an absolute killer.” “Kobe was one of those people that would kill you.” “And then go home and eat dinner with his family.” “Not think about what he did.”

Rare footage of Kobe private training with Hakeem, notice how much more fluid Kobe is and he is almost one to one replicating The Dream. Stark contrast to Bron training with him, doing the movements all bulky and failing at it 🤣 Kobe was different 🙏🏻✌️

Larry Nance Jr. on Kobe and LeBron’s leadership: “Kobe was a force. When he walked in, you knew he was there. He ran a tight ship. Bron is one of the guys. He’s joking around all the time. He’s like a big kid which endears you to him even more.”

Dwyane Wade on Kobe Bryant’s game winner over him in 2009: “I was mad at Mario Chalmers first of all — I was mad at Mario because we were up 5 before that and Mario helped to much on his down screen with Derek Fisher and he got the 3…I was like ‘don’t let Kobe get the ball, anybody else could shoot’. Kobe juked UD and he got the ball…then he threw up the shot and I was like that ain’t going in…and when it banked and went in — I couldn’t even be mad because it was Kobe Bryant…when I walked to the back afterwards — Kobe was waiting on me…I had to walk past him and I was hot…” (via Wy Network by Dwyane Wade)

Dwyane Wade shares his iconic Kobe Bryant story from 2008 Olympics when Kobe found out Wade was coming off the bench: “When he heard I wasn’t starting, I’m sure he knew like ‘man this is tough for D Wade not to be starting on this team’ but he came to me right away and he eased my mind. He was like ‘when you get in the game and it’s me and you on the floor, this is what I’m gonna do. I’ll pick up 94 feet and turn these guys, once I turn them, you do what you do. So I got so many steals and so many dunks because of the unselfishness of a star in our league…. When Kobe retired from basketball, I didn’t have no one to chase anymore. I lost something in me when Kobe retired.. I felt Kobe was the only one on the level I was on as the top two guards.” (Via TheOldManAndTheThree)

Kobe Won 2 rings in 6 years with Pau as his second option. Just 6 years. Kobe was peaking for like 14-15 years in his career. The Gasol years aren’t even half of Kobe’s peak. Clearly, he could win another 2-3 with another solid option. Wining with Pau was proof he didn’t need Shaq to win rings. That was the whole reason for the 2009 revenge season 🐍 If you need a reminder, here’s 24 minutes of greatness to get you back in the swing of things. Kobe 2009 season one of the best all time.

One of my favorite things about George Lowe was he was constantly doing interviews and press stunts donning a full Space Ghost costume. His interview with C-Span is one of my favorites.
