Lmao lose lose situation. He shoots when he’s not ready and misses or passes and gets called a coward. Ruthless

You’re supposed to practice to get better as a team. Not shit talk your teammates and storm off.

Kobe does not like playing with score first point guards lol

Lol look at Nick Young pretending to play hard.

“Kobe being an asshole and demoralizing his own teammate.”

“You can’t win without me”
Kobe Bryant shot 39% from 2 and 29% from three that season. The team went 17-65. They were bad without him and just as bad with him.

So what do you guys think other teams are saying when they’re on the court. You don’t believe Kevin Garnett did this same thing in practice? Gary Payton? We know Jimmy Butler did it with Minnesota. Certain players bring that intensity. Either I’ll demoralize you or the other team does. Trash talking 94 feet. You don’t back down. A competitive sport.
People called Kobe an asshole because he required certain skill sets and characteristics in his teammates. You don’t hear any of this with Gasol, Odom, Bynum. Even Shannon Brown. But when he was with losing teams and let it be known, it’s such a negative thing.

A lot of people in this comment section have never played competitive team sports if they yelled at a teammate to try and motivate them to do better. Lmao

I’ll be real that seemed like the tame parts of the video to me 😂
He even was nice and explained the lesson “talked his ass right into that bullshit” saying don’t listen to me either go on the drive and blow by or actually make the shot.
The response to that trash talk, is hitting the shot in his face and talking shit back saying he can’t guard you quit talking.
Pretty sure that’s what he was trying to inspire, ya he was being an asshole, but what do you think the other team is gonna be saying to make you fuck up in a real game they’re trying to beat you in?

Reading the comments here made realize most of you doesnt even play rec ball. This is normal shit. Lol.

what the fuck are wrong with these comments lol. this is tame

Kobe was always an asshole, but even moreso his last few seasons. Man’s body could no longer keep up with his win mentality. He became much more chill after he retired.

10 years ago, we had kobe and linsanity 10 years later, no kobe, and no linsanity
Jiublol
What an asshole

You gotta hit him w the off the heezy

Funny thing is everyone defending Kobe at the the 3 line did the same thing to him.

Missing the best part of the footage.

Jeremy Lin won in the end cause he’s still alive

Ben Simmons would probably declare mental health issue after 1 season practicing with Kobe.
prodigus01
Kobe probably shot 6-30 in the game after this practice and blamed his teammates for the L.

This can be an effective way to get the best out of SOME people.
But that’s the problem, this treatment only works on a relative small percentage of the population.
It’s just not practical to go with this strategy when the majority of the population does not respond beneficially to this.
There’s not enough people who respond positively to this to fill the positions and roles that need to be filled in a society, let alone a basketball team needs.
Stubbornly sticking to this strategy only works if you get lucky and happen to draw the same mentalities. Otherwise you’re just spinning your wheels.
Kobe is a great player, no doubt about that.
But he probably could have achieved even more greatness if he recognized that just because this treatment worked for him, doesn’t mean it works for most people.
The mark of a true leader is one who recognizes what kind of motivation works for each of his followers.
Kobe is an all time great basketball player. But he was an absolute shit leader.

Kinda off topic but I just looked up Lin’s stats. He only played 35 games for the Knicks? In my head it was like 2-3 seasons.

Me in the rec league minding my own business
eexxiitt
Or maybe Lin was trying to run a play or initiate the offence. If everyone had “mamba mentality” everyone would just be jacking up shots.
highkey_lowkey1
Kobe also held grudges. Probably still mad when Lin scorched him and the Lakers during his New York linsanity run.

So when rating and ranking Kobe, you have to assess stuff like this and ask did it do more good or more harm?
pootywitdatbooty
[“Highlight”] Rapist Kobe Bryant harasses another player
I got that for you
ozzyteebaby
lol the funny thing is that jlin thrives on belief and love, if Kobe would’ve taken Lin on his squad and gassed him up the results would’ve been much different. Unfortunately Kobe went to the MJ school of leadership and that shit doesn’t work for everyone
