Kobe made all his teammates so much better. Especially when kobe saw them put in the hard work.

This story added confirmation to my understanding about Kobe. Yeah he disrespected or ignored many of his team mates. But it was because only few put in the work and toughness up to Kobe's standard. Like even he defended Adam Morrison, because he puts in the work.

So sick of the smut on Kobe’s name like he wasn’t a leader..he lead whomever was tryna come with him for that chip. thank you for this 🙏🏽 R.I.P Kobe Mamba Forever 💯

Thanks for this, Kobe gets discredited a lot as not being a true leader. I’m glad you’re allowing his teammates to speak on it.

Super cool that Kobe helped out Devean get that well deserved new contract. I forgot how much I liked Devean as a player, he reminded me of Trevor Ariza which I can see why Kobe liked him.

Kobe took up for the teammates that worked hard and didn’t mess with the ones who didn’t

Devean George... Only player in NBA history to win 3 rings in his 1st 3 seasons🦾🦾

"They got the numbers right yet?!" imagine hearing that from Kobe, when you're just a regular nba player. BEAN RIP

This is what the media should highlight about Kobe. Please go on all the smoke and tell your story.

Because of this Kobe thing Devean George was one of the key reasons the Lakers kept winning from 2002-2004. Starting against the Sac Kings in 02 and hitting big shots in 2004 against the Spurs. George played well in 2003 too but was hurt in S.A. when he went to the basket one of those games. Devean George hitting shots alongside Fisher was a big reason the Lakers went back to the Finals in 2004.

D George use to be my secret weapon on NBA live substitute him for Rick Fox

Devean George was a CRAZY athlete man

The media did make Kobe the villian, but when you focus on the vilian too much you see their vision 😮...

Devean George is one of the smartest guys and he does some great philanthropy in Minnesota.

always been a fan of D. George.. One of the og 3D

this says a lot on why he is in the starting line up in the 2004 superteam line up. devean george is a hardworker

Devean George was a great roll player

George was so underrated.

D George 💯💯💯💯💯💯 glad to see a Laker speak on that truth 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 Kb 8/24

loved devean on those lakers teams when i was a kid. still one of my personal favorites, so this rules. loved jelani too!!!

Shout out to D george, our original 3 and D guy in the new era before guys like Trevor and Ron ron

George was a good fit on those teams

These are the videos we want to see. In our lifetime not many will know everything but this is very informative and cool to know.

Ty! A lot of good stories about Kobe that I wasn't aware of until after he is gone. RIP Legend.

Kobe was truly alive because he never stopped learning oh he did fly off kilter 4 a min there but Phil came back and he understood him, so he shined again.

Great interview, love seeing DGeorge and McCoy going back and forth. Remember those days, respect.

D George is a northside legend. 612 in the building.

This just validated smush is lazy AF and a bum. Kobe even defended Adam Morison since he is working hard but smoked smush

refreshing pod. this was really nice

Dale Harris Didn’t wanna start Kobe from jump

Kobe is not about drama and all about me like Lebron…Lakers is KOBE!

Kobe had many friends from teammates to competitors and did go to bat many times. Ask Lamar Odem. Not like today where these chumps on the court are sensitive and wanna hug before games like hella friends. Shout out to Draymond Green. But he hug a MF too.

This is a bad interviewer. Just ask the damn question and let the man talk 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Daveon George is better defender than Le Balco. He got good 3 points shooting and dunks too.

I can’t be the only one that thought I clicked on a Patrick Mahomes podcast on accident 😅

The difference between Kobe and a player who constantly kick people off his team.

I miss the old days. My lakers.

I’m just truly disgusted with all the people that talk down on Kobe and act like he didn’t have all of the skills in the world. That’s exactly why he gets talked down on by other basketball players and basketball fans!! They are just mad their favorite basketball player isn’t even close at being at the skill level of The Black Mamba!!!! G.O.A.T. !!!!!!!!!

Damn! Dude took 1:34 seconds to ask DG a question 😂😂

Dg was cold..i used to use bro in 2k alot too 😂

That first question took 2 min just to ask lol

Matthew 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Bro was good

He definitely wasn't early on but he learned how to be a leader later in his career. Some lead by example, some lead vocally but they all want the same results. Magic led one way, Kareem led one way, MJ led one way, Kobe led one way.

Dylan Dreyfuss look like the bad guy from the Ghost movie

Nobody talks about his relationship with Keyonte GEORGE

He was a good player DG 3s save some LA games

great fucking questions!

is devin george and derek fisher related? are they cousins?

Cousin skeeter W

I don’t want hear it smush Parker had mental health issues and this interview right here shows why

Neyo was on the Lakers??? lol

Who the hell is this jelonie guy talking as if he was homies with kobe

Yeah, Shaq's lazy butt would not have won in LA without Kobe.The West was too strong. You win in the 4th quarter, not the first 3, and Shaq was a liability in the 4th and useless at guarding anyone beyond 10 ft from the basket. He didn't always give effort on the defensive end and had horrible cardio. Even Jerry Sloane said, we didn't really guard Shaq the first 3 quarters to keep our players out of foul trouble but when the 4th came, that was when they threw bodies at him and by then Shaq was already exhausted,wasn't a good passer, and didn't have many offensive moves making him predictable. Not to mention he couldn't hit free throws.Del Harris and Shaq prevented Kobe from developing at the pace he would have, had he went to another organization. Shaq talks crap about Barkley never winning a chip, but without Kobe, Shaq would have been in the same boat as Barkley. Even former teammates said Kobe was pretty much unstoppable and was killing everyone in practice, especially Eddie Jones, when he was a Rookie to prove a point .Dell Harris still didn't play him. If Kobe was the main option on offense against the Pistons, they would have won. Kobe could score from anywhere and could pass, making it harder to prepare against the Lakers. Shaq had only one way to score and it wore him out by thr 4th. That year, Shaq was out of shape and only played half a season from a broken leg. Phil even had to tell Kobe to dial it back because they were losing Shaqs effort. Shaq was getting jealous because Kobe was averaging 40, all nba defense and they were winning without Shaq. Shaq was always a sensitive guy.

Eddie Jones could have filled the role.

Everybody has a Kobe story nowadays, lol

Them athletes really be soft I'm not letting nobody haze me main reason why I never joined a fraternity in college

Wrong, derek fisher wa there for all of it too

Once your worth eclipses a few hundred million, take the league minimum and get some quality help.

I hope this puts to bed all that bs that Kobe was a terrible selfish teammate 2nd greatest player ever

Why does he look like neeyo had a baby with Darvon ham

Kobe made teammates better; Lebron gets teammates fired

DG3,

Way to talk for 4 mins straight jeloni

I love me some kobe but now.....if he had all this and he was so brilliant and so good and so knowledgeable then why did it only equate to two titles?.......because now that hes dead people are just being sentimental snd overrating him. He wasnt/isnt as high on the alltime that most of you think he is

George actually came from a D3 college, he was a dog

Kobe used to be in there fighting to keep players while LeBron was in there fighting trade players and this is why Lebron is overrated😂😂

I love Kobe but i still dont think he was a good leader for most of his career not that he was bad or terrible but i just don't see him on the standard of guys like Bill, Duncan, and Curry

🫡 D3 a guy I respected and loved nickname was from coming from D3!
