At 17 he speaks better than most fully grown adults

Amazing presentation from a 17 year old Kobe. So mature To have this calmness infront of everyone.

[shaanajaz]

What a legend he had the drive to be the greatest his whole life

[kanyikekeron]

I need this kind of confidence, and focus Kobe put into his life.

[davidh]

He would have been one of the greatest storytellers of all time if he had time to perfect it.

[Yangyencheng]

The man was born to be different.
Miss you 😢

A Kobe movie on 8/24. I’m calling it now

What a great presentation by the Great Human being Kobe Bean Byrant. He was so special in many ways, we truly lost a great one along with his daughter Gigi and all the people on that helicopter that day. May they all R.I.P Love ya my G.O.A.T KOBE AKA MAMBA and Gigi Byrant

Crazy how he became so fluent in Italian and so immersed in Italian culture that he forgot how to speak English somewhat once he moved back to the states. Wouldn’t be surprised if his parents only spoke to him in Italian at home so he could learn faster.

So elegantly spoken man Lord what have times come to for us to regress so far as men :(

[bradleyswitzer]

A David Goggins and Kobe conversation would be legendary

Muhammad Ali & Kobe at 17 & 18 years old were ahead of their time. They were special at a young age.

Who else came from the espn short about Kobe in highschool?

[GLavv-xxud]

Prism was there since day one ..that prism rookie kobe card gotta b worth a fortune

[txdo]

he clearly loved his parents… kinda sad how they couldn’t accept him and vanessa getting married

[shaanajaz]

When u realize kobe’s parents turned on him for marrying a Latina and even sold his memorabilia for a quic buck and kobe talks about how much he respects his parents here. Dam...

[villiannewyork]

Kobe had a good head on his shoulders to move into the professional level. I would like the league to take players from HS again to avoid one and done but a lot of young players lack the emotional maturity at that age. Hopefully the ignites and other alternatives to college focus on the mental just as much as the game itself

[sbdsml]

he valued his parents just for them to disown him later down the line.

[WYNNBETS]

Close your eyes and listen, you might think it’s Zion Williamson talking. He has the same mannerisms & speech pattern as Kobe. Super interesting.
