People keep asking for Kobe stories. I don't usually share them cause it feels like I'm trying to get attention off his name. But with Hall of Fame weekend, this one feels right to tell. We're together, getting ready for the Olympics. Some of us are teaching Kobe dominoes.... He'd never played before, somehow. Me, personally? One of my vets, Gary Payton, showed me the ropes. Can't imagine being a decade into the NBA without playing, ha, but you know Kobe, that day he's asking every single question, trying to learn the game. But I'm convinced It wasn't really about dominoes. It was about being one of the guys and bringing the team together. Everyone talks about Kobe’s basketball IQ, and rightfully so. But that's elite EQ. He knew exactly what he was doing. Miss that guy.show more

Doc Rivers talks about what people fail to recognize about Steph Curry: "I think the thing that people miss the most with Steph because he's this nice guy, he does all the charitable work, everything he says is right, like he's the most coachable star and one day we're going to have a podcast about that 'Why Steph has won over some of the other guys?' and because I'm a coach, I really believe a lot of it is he allowed himself to be coached and I think that's part of it, but what we miss with him is he's a stone-cold-blooded killer, just like Kobe and Michael. He just doesn't come off that way, but he's exactly like them and people miss that with him. They misforecast him, his toughness and his grit, they really do."

🎙️ Coby White on this young Charlotte Hornets team: "I got here and I'm like the third oldest at 26. A lot of the guys are younger than me. So coming in here, they just have that youthfulness about them in terms of that pure, genuine love for the game... that's infectious." "The one thing I learned, you can't be around a guy like LaMelo Ball and not be happy. What he brings every day in terms of his joy, his spirit, you can't be around him and not be happy, joyful, because he's gonna do it every single day. He's consistent every day in terms of how he lives his life and he's just a joy to be around." "Pat Connaughton, getting to know him, his mind for the game, his IQ, his feel for the game in terms of making in-game adjustments and communicating has been huge... I can already tell it's been huge for the team." 🎙️ On Charles Lee: "He's a younger coach... just brings that youthfulness and he connects with this generation, my generation, Kon's generation, LaMelo's... he connects with us on just a different level because he's younger." "He cares about each and every player, which sometimes you don't get in this league. He takes the time to get to know every player, talks to them... being around him, he has a high IQ for the game, great feel for the game, but the most important thing is he gets each and every one of us to buy into what we're trying to do. He gets everyone to compete, but he's just a joyful spirit to be around. He connects us."

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.”

“Kobe had been shockingly bold in his prediction that he's going to make himself the greatest basketball player ever. Belief comes before ability. And I think most people mistakenly reverse the order. Kobe was going to grind his way there-implacably, relentlessly, grind away at the challenges of the game until he found a dominance born of his ability to outwork everyone else. One of his counselors noticed that under career plans Kobe had listed "NBA." So the counselor made it a point to admonish Kobe: "Only one in a million make it to the NBA," the counselor said, "so you have to plan on a future other than basketball." "I'm going to be that one in a million," Kobe replied. Kobe was 11.

Lamar Jackson on potentially winning the MVP race: "If it do happen, it happens. That would be dope [to win it] three times." "But I'm not really focused on that. That's never been my goal - even the first and second one. I always want to finish with the championship, but I've been falling short. I still feel like the MVP is a team thing because my teammates help me get that award. I'm not the one catching the passes, blocking ... "I'm trying to win a championship. That's been my goal since I was a little kid. But MVP in the national football league? That's dope. That's dope." Does he hear all the chatter about the race being between him and Josh Allen? "I have no choice but to hear it. They tag me in it. You don't have to tag me. You can talk about it all you want, but you want to tag me for click bate. Sometimes I'm gonna say something back, like, 'That was stupid.' I really don't care about the talk tho. I'm trying to win."

Dwyane Wade said he wanted to earn Kobe Bryant’s respect when he got into the league: “To me Kobe was the bar — he was the greatest player in the game to me, he played the same position so I needed that respect from Kobe…a lot of my work throughout the summers was to get better so Kobe can pick me up…it was one point throughout that year where I grabbed the ball and he was grabbing me 94 feet…I got the respect of Kobe…I told everybody like ‘Kobe picked me up 94 feet!’…to me it meant something…” (via Wy Network by Dwyane Wade)

Brian Shaw explains why Phil Jackson had to coach Kobe differently during the first three Lakers Championships: "Phil had no problem cussing Shaq out or getting on Shaq, but he would never say anything to Kobe early on." "So I have German Shepherds and they are protection trained.. And my dog trainer always said to me the first six to eight months that you had his puppy don't ever tell it no because what we want to do is we want this dog to be so confident that he feels like he could do everything." "The discipline part can come later on, once his confidence is at a certain point." "So he gonna chew up your house dig up your yard or whatever. You just got to deal with it let your dog do what it feels like, he's the dude, he's the man." "When we had the team meeting and I remember asking Phil how come you don't never say nothing to Kobe, I mean you always say everything to Shaq, you don't say nothing to Kobe... and he said because for this team we always need Kobe to be in attack mode." "And then that immediately made me think about what my dog trainer said about my German Shepherd needs to be in attack mode, and it was exactly what our team needed." "Shaq came from a disciplinary his father was his stepfather was military. Yes sir, no sir, and whatever you asked him to do, told him to do. He was obedient." "Kobe was that German Shepherd puppy that nobody ever said no to... He had sisters, he was the only boy, father played in the NBA, and he was the The Golden Child..." "Phil nurtured that confidence in him, at the expense of the rest of us on the team, getting the brunt of him yelling and screaming and what have you. But not saying a whole lot to Kobe.." "But we needed that, he was always in attack mode." "You talk about Phil just knowing personalities and how to kind of Coach everybody differently... Phil Jackson was the only man for that job."

Darren Collison shares a Russell Westbrook story from their college days: "We obviously played a lot of the NBA guys throughout the offseason when they came to UCLA and late Kobe Bryant was one of them. I remember Kobe Bryant, he just pretty much had it with everybody on the court during a pickup game but this one particular moment when Russ was guarding him...Russ kind of made it a little bit more difficult and Russ was still in college, and I'm not saying he stopped him by any means necessary. We know how Kobe how great of a scorer he was but he gained Kobe's respect where Russ became one of the premier dominant defenders throughout that whole college season and I think that was the start of it. When you see Russ guarding Kobe throughout the pickup game, you're like, okay whoa, I think we got something. We have one of the best defenders even on our team"

🎙️ Collin Sexton on his team-first mentality after being subbed out late: "Just playing my role to the best of my ability. God has put me in this position to be able to play basketball and go out there and perform. I'll always be super excited about that." "But when I see a teammate I work out with every day, sit and talk with every day, someone I'm always trying to mentor and give advice to—when he goes and scores, I'm going to celebrate him no matter what. Even if I score 0 points, that's my brother." "I could easily be upset about not being in the game. But hey, why? We're a team and we're all trying to go in the right direction together. You can't do that if one person is in their feelings or upset about someone else doing good. It doesn't work like that."

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)

Dwyane Wade on the difference between the All Star game when he played vs Now and the story of him breaking Kobe’s nose 👀 “It’s not just about the game anymore, if you know the schedule of All Star guys now vs then, it’s about the business. It’s not about the game anymore. But I’ll say this, when I came in, the stars of the game would determine how the game went. Kobe Bryant, brought it every All Star. So Me as a young guy having guard Kobe, he would be at my ass. I gotta lock up. It was different. Not saying LeBron at 40 should be the one but when we came in, the stars determined how the game would go by what they brought. I’m just following suite because I’m a young fella happy to be here but I don’t want to get embarrassed by Kobe Bryant… When I came in Kobe set the tone for the All Star game, Kobe would be ready to bust your ass. That All Star game, Kobe was f*cking me up on the other end, hittin me, pinching me. I lose myself a little bit im like ‘oh this what we doing?’ So im like ‘get the ball, cause im f*cking you up.’ I don’t try to bust his nose but I did try to foul the sh*t out of him” (Via Wy Network by Dwyane Wade)

Kobe gave him $6 million. But Mike Repole didn’t want to take it… Because he knew the odds for his business were slim. But Kobe didn’t care. “1% chance? Those are the best f*ing odds I’ve ever had.”** That $6M turned into $400 million for Kobe’s family. This story isn’t about business.

Reporter: Trump has accused you of ignoring— Biden: He's lying and the governor told him he was lying. I've spoken to the governor.. I don't know why he does this and the reason I get so angry about it, I don't care about what he says about me, but I care what he communicates to the people that are in need. He implies that we're not doing everything possible. We are. I assume you heard the Republican Governor of Georgia talk about that. He was on the phone with me more than once. So that's simply not true. And it's irresponsible.

I won't let people rewrite history about Kobe. When LeBron and Kobe had equal teammates, Kobe stepped up and led his team to a win. LeBron shrunk, switched off Kobe, asked Prince to guard him on the last shot, then proceeded to not even hit the rim on his final shot. Kobe was being instantly doubled in a game with the best players in the world- only Kobe was getting instant doubles. Let that sink in. Mamba was one of one. That's why Coach K recruited him- Bron wasn't good enough to lead Team USA to gold. They had to go get Kobe to do that. 👊
