dang kobe playing like it's not a scrim. love his competitiveness

3:50 is the moment that changed my game forever. Seeing him pull up from so close. I went home and did it 200 times a day a month straight until I got it right. I miss you so much already.

2:59 "Stop playing with me, Nick. You ain't strong enough to force me one way."😂😂😂

*3:53** That was absolutely beautiful* “Don’t hurt yourself young fella”

That pull up on Jordan Clarkson from the baseline was poetry in motion

From the sound of the shoes squeaking on the hardwood, to the sound of the ball bouncing. It is literally heaven 🔥🔥💪🏀🔥💪

0:14 Mamba with that nasty up and under like its nothing.

2:00 classic mamba

2:07 Kobe surrounded by 3-4 guys Inner Kobe: Pass the ball, just pass the ball man Mamba Kobe: shoot a fadeway Kobe: *shoots a fadeway* #mambamentality #RIP

Anyone else love that as much as I do? The trashtalk added a whole new element to the game and the defence was superb. We can do well this year barring a major injury.

3:50 SWEET SHOT

Everybody giving Lin a hard time for being sloppy out there, but they all are. It's what the training camp is all about. They'll shake off the rust, gain chemistry, learn the offensive structure, and get in better shape. Better play will follow. Even Kobe mishandled his dribble a couple times. Cut Lin some slack.

"Don't hurt yourself fella !" Lol Kobe

I'm glad Kobe is guarding Clarkson and Clarkson is guarding Kobe. It's great practice for him as he continues to develop

Loved basketball practice. Loved competing against anyone one on the court. Especially the scrimmages.

3.5 years later and it still hasn't registered yet....miss you kobe.

I swear I didn't see this much intensity in any games we played this year

Kobe playing like it's Finals game 7. RIP legend

Sometimes we take something like a Lakers practice for granted. I love watching the Black Mamba out there!

RIP Kobe!

4:07 Coach: good close out wesley *Swaggy P hits three* Swaggy p: aint no good job #GOAT

I miss Kobe. I'm still in all how he died

Its only the beginning. Looks like Coach Scott is really getting great effort from the team. He's going to do well as the new head coach. Kobe is looking like Kobe. Swaggy P is looking really impressive too. Hopefully Lin will come into his role and perform like he did in NY. I'm digging how the younger guys are going all out and trying to give maximum effort. The team can do some damage if they stay healthy.

Haha, man! 5:03 could've been a great pump fake if Swaggy P would've kept his pivot foot down.

3:54 Man that shot was balanced as fuck

These scrimmages are pretty tough, lots of defense!! Hope Swaggy is back in time and right about in shape and still shooting buckets. Take my word, this team is gonna be tough to handle this year.

In all honesty you really can't take too much out of practice other than the fact that guys are actually getting after it and understanding the game plan on DEFENSE AND OFFENSE that's what coach's are looking for.

These scrimmages were actually more intense then regular season games are today.

I was surprised by the intensity of practice. This is what the pro looks like.

Keep these videos up!! I can't wait to see the preseason and season start!

i love scrimage footage ! :) thanks for uploading

smh jeremy lin deserves better why he always getting picked on everyone needs to improve... the reason the 2012 lakers with the hyped up trio failed miserably is because their chemistry was horrible

Kobe's jumper is one of a kind, and it's an art

What a chance to this player to get along with the legend especially Jordan Clarkson defending fade away shoot of mamba haha

1:01 and this is why he didn't pass the ball lol

R.i.p Kobe man.. Saying his name will never feel the same 😪

man is it just me, their practice game looks a lot more intensive than real game 😄

I miss that turn around fadeaway from the baseline that's Kobe's shot man what a beautiful thing to look at.

Swaggy P's travel tho

I like this haha. It's not nba season yet but Watxhing these practices make it feel like it

Thanks for uploading! Hope to see more!

If ever I were to somehow pull off that move Kobe nonchalantly did at the 0:13 mark, that would be the highlight of my basketball life that I'd tirelessly bring into any conversation I had thereafter.

3:54 beautiful

Wow they're actually putting effort into defense

damn look at the pure passion and work ethic . rip kobe

That had to be so awesome for jordan clarkson to guard kobe in practice.. He got to practice with a legend every day.

Miss Kobe a lot

Man the reffing here is so much better than the actual games. Haha

With Kobe and Nash getting towards the end of their careers, you can tell there was still a urge of competitiveness even though they struggled as a team. All the young talent together, you can tell how for some of those guys, the scrimmages was to prove that they could be a future starter or a chance to fight to stick on a 12 man roster moving forward. This is sort of proven by how Kobe was taking this serious, but also playing with a level of fun to it. I think deep down, he knew this roster wasn't made to win a championship and so he wanted to set each one of these 20 something year olds for potential success in the league after he was done.

There's something really refreshing about watching this...

I'm so effing excited.

"DON'T HURT YOURSELF " lmfao #LongLiveMamba

That layup when the video just started was sick yo lol one of Kobe’s best moves

Rest in peace champ!!!☹️💔

This angle makes playing in the NBA look so much harder than it does on normal tv

“I love talking to him” - Swaggy P 🤣

It’s so cool. They speaked a lot, moved calmly, and they can speak not only good things and also bad things. We have to learn from them.

That last shot by Nick Young... How did the ref NOT see that? It's agitating me.

Rip Kobe 💜💛

You sold that pump fake so hard bro like crusty pumpkin pie hard 😂💪 I thought it was the perfect pump fake

Late but, 3:50 is the travel I would get called for all the time in high school. Switching my feet before putting the ball down. Twice in a row in a game once, and they took me out. I didn't know wtf the ref was talking about until they showed me after the game. Definitely a travel, but when you're elite they're not watching your feet like that.

They really must oil that floor daily got damn all I heard was whistling and shoes 😂😂

4:19 'good block j. Hill get that shit outta here'. So competitive even in practice.

hahaha this is great, i love the competitive minds these guys have. lin kinda disppointed me, but he'll get better when nash teaches him. & clarkson is going to be a huge asset to this squad! cant wait!! #lakers

Sickest shit. I hope Kobe joins coaching staff he definitely would challenge young competitors

rest well kobe. u will be missed on and off court. 2:35 damn is that a young jordan clarkson.

This was soo inspiring

RIP KObe

i believe this is the audio 2k uses in their practice mode in mygm.

I thought the 05-06 Lakers squad was bad with Kwame Brown until Mitch put together this garbage of a team featuring Robert Sacre. Us Lakers fans definitely went through some rough times. Rip Kobe

Win or lose, I love my Lakers.

Im liking the ball movement and the taking on defense

That Bench Mob looking real nice cuz.

That dude had no one that year lol

It's so cool to see Nash playing when Jason Kidd has been a head coach for a year.

RIP Kobe 😭

missing kobe ❤

4:18 有神快拜

Jordan clarkson really didn’t know what to do with kobe when he was guarding him... if you watch film kobe loves that spin off baseline jumper.... it’s obvious but JC just didn’t know what to do... i knew damn well kobe didn’t want that screen cuz he saw there was going to be help for JC once he hit that screen. JC was inching to kobe’s right hip and kobe felt the defense and spun off to the left side where there is no help D and pulled up. Well played 😌

10x more entertaining than an All Star Game

More of these scrimmages please

see those drills again makes my mouth dry lol

Kobe Good bless you.🙏🏼

I guess I never realized how obnoxious shoe squeaking was until I watched an NBA practice! 😂

3:52 - Holy shit

Imagine having a scrimmage and having a ref and shot clocks.

Im so used to seeing Wesley Johnson wearing Adidas ha

3:49 was sick!! RIP Bean

I like the shot selection by Kobe he takes those shots he's guna have a good year

Taken notes

Loving what i see

How bout the raw unedited video?

3:47 you are here for that

I really don't like that nothing has changed when kobe gets the ball. Once they pass it to him, it's the same story, everyone just stands around and watches. I seriously hope this doesn't happen when the season starts.

Trolls expect Jeremy Lin to be perfect and make zero mistakes. They take note when he loses the handle for a sec, makes a turn over or get blocked, even though that happens to EVERY player. At any time in their entire life, have they touched basketball?

Randle's gonna be a beast he's just really raw right now, once he gains confidence in that jumper be on the lookout.

Damn, I miss every single one of these boys.

I freakin love it.

Can someone please type what the conversation is between Kobe and Nick? can't hear them clearly

kobe doin work
