Kobe Bryant: I sent Phil Jackson to therapy

Kobe Bryant shares his struggles with Coach Phil Jackson and how they got past their differences. Bryant says the stubbornness between Shaquille O’Neal, Phil Jackson, and himself hindered their relationship together. Bryant explains that he just wanted Jackson to tell him what he wanted, rather than avoid possible confrontation. Once Jackson decided he was coming back to the Lakers, he and Bryant agreed to leave their baggage behind them and move forward.; taped in 2012

[wldennis]

Graham is the best interviewer in the biz! For all of those that give him crap about his style, he gets more truth out of atheletes than anyone else.

[castrochristian]

You're truly one of the best interviewers that I've watched.

[javijh]

This is the one dude who can put up a clickbait title and I’d be ok with it.

[diannedavis]

Kobe is extremely intelligent and very in-depth articulate in his speech quite an interesting man

[lorrainewilson]

The more I listen to the late great Kobe Bryant's interviews the more interested I become of this articulate eloquent human being. I am certain that those who were fortunate to be in his presence have learnt alot from him. Those who did not learn or take away something positive and uplifting from him, that's unfortunate. Brother, by all account you lived a full and constructive positive life. You completed your work on earth and on that faithful day you were called to a higher calling. RIP

Came back to this video just to see the 🐐 another time. We loved him before and after death and that brings me comfort that he was appreciated while here. We gave him roses while he could smell them. RIP Mamba.

[BruvahSulaiman]

Don't try to finesse me into doing something. Just tell me straight up what you need.

[Iggy]

Can’t believe still that Kobe is no longer with us. Smh 😔

[navinshenoy]

A lot of lessons in life here. Move on instead of keeping on holding to things. Confront instead of avoiding.

[carlosrafael]

RIP Kobe
Very mature and open
Some athletes wouldn’t be as honest

[walktalk_]

Kobe is extremely confident and can take criticism. Being able to take criticism is a great trait of a great leader. G.o.a.t

[KBisClutcherThanMJ]

Still hurts everytime I think about it, life is so short 😢

[skydoosher]

This dude gets the best interviews. And he's in his 20's at this point. I'm 27 and Totes jelly

[ExcursionSteve]

Who’s here after Scottie made a comment about the Phil and Kobe situation. Funny how Kobe shows a lot of appreciation and admiration for Phil. He even speaks from Phil’s perspective instead of becoming defensive about the situation. Till his passing, he had a great relationship with Phil yet Scottie brings up the issue as if he’s been affected by it

[mrwnking]

Kobe was a smart dude. On and off the court.

[mr.perfect]

Kobe put other player's in therapy too 🔥💯

[pimentelarcena]

I miss you Kobe R.i.p Kobe the Goat and The Legend 😢😢😢❤❤❤

[jjosten]

Phil was the coach Kobe needed, he knew that.
