  1. RIP George & Kobe I'm sure they are laughing about this in heaven. 🤔🥲

  2. This man😂! He ended 2 of my fav teams seasons. MVP Iverson, then AI went to Denver, and I was already a Melo and JR Smith fan. Billups takes Iverson's spot and they lose to Kobe. I love competition and used to hate Kobe so much for that. Luckily I was a fan before he retired and passed, because I respect greatness.

    And now you're telling me one reason wad because coaches be doing stupid stuff, because of ego?

  3. Lol bet Lebron can’t make this commitment…they swept me …they’ll never win against us against

  4. If Kobe's talking about his first All-Star game. They didn't play him because they didn't want him stealing the light from Jordan in my opinion. That's how I felt when watching it. He damn sure was putting on the show.

  5. As a UNC stan I want to like George Karl, but he acted funny style too much. Froze Kobe out at the allstar game, and you'd think he would have learned when he was coaching the Sonics and dissed MJ in that restaurant. Now he just looking down on ringless fingers 'cause he liked to poke the bears. 😂

  6. He didn't play him because he was messing up the flow of the offense and letting the other team back in the game.

  7. Kobe was a gunner and George Karl knew he had many all star games to come, while the vets didn't have many, if any left. Karl did the right thing

  8. george karl was a terrible coach in terms of connecting with his players, ask his denver nuggets squad

  9. And why again did/would George Karl bench Kobe for the entire 4th???? Mad hating from Kobe talent would be my guess.

  10. Stephen A:You can’t tell me wasn’t the next Michael

    Kobe: naw I wasn’t the next Mike I was the only Kobe

  11. Not even to mention PRIME Melo was on those Denver teams Kobe just didn’t care. Another ringless causality in the legend of Mamba. Miss you Bean

  12. He wasn't lying, swept the nuggets in 08 when they had ai and Melo, ai dropped 55 points in a regular season game against the Lakers kobe brings the Lakers back and win an impossible game, etc etc he refused to let Denver win

  13. 2009 playoffs makes so much sense now!!! Carmelo was a man on mission with a loaded squad and he PERSONALLY played the best defense I’ve ever seen HIM play in my life(which is pretty good no matter what critics say, especially young melo) and even through some double team Kobe hit RIDICULOUS shots that just demoralized and drained the energy from the nugs. All that great defense just for Kobe to score🤣 don’t get it wrong tho both teams were stacked too

  14. The Seattle Supersonics also said after my Lakers beat them 4-1 in 1998 Playoffs. Coach Karl and the Sonics said. "The Lakers played better without him."

    Kobe replied and said "I'll just gun them down the rest of my career."
