I could listen to Salley talk about Kobe for hours

This Kobe conversations are killing me. I’m deeply hurt. Why? Kobe?

Sal is so real man, love this cat...

Man JS has so much basketball history and insight. He played for some of the best teams of 80's 90's and 2000's.

My favorite interview about Kobe Bryant. RIP BLACK MAMBA, WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN 😭😘

John Sally is always on that good good he always gets the years mixed up when he's telling stories karl malone and Gary payton were on the lakers 2004 not 2006

I can listen to John Salley talk NBA stories all day

It's really nice they said that about Kobe. Lifting Kobe up lifts all of them up too. Says a lot about their character.

It's truly a skill to interview athletes about other athletes and not be into sports at all

Absolutely love how John drops a tear every few minutes but they’re talking. Casually. You can tell it’s emotional for the both of them.

Thanks for the video homeboy z

60 POINTS vlad NOT 61!!! NEXT TIME JUST GOOGLE IT!!!

I love John Salley!

Pistons had : rasheed ,ben wallace , billups , rip Hamilton n tayshaun prince 💪🏼

Watching Sal whip his eyes every ten seconds makes my eyes water

Phils paint is perfect . I tell people you have to love your teammates game more than your own

Love kobe. Im lakers through and through but Magic is the greatest Lakers of all time no disrespect to kobe. He would love the conversation

Greatest is debatable. But most iconic absolutely.

Salley is hurting big time during this interview. Think he needs to take time to mourn before the next one.

This is addicting 😆

Vlad gonna be pressed to bring Shaq on here now

Salley always comes in high off that good strong pack when he with vlad🤣🤣🤣

Sal...respect....Sal man I hope to cross paths with you one day

That’s the 2004 Pistons that shut down Shaq n Kobe’s Lakers. Gentlemen’s sweep

Hands down the Greatest Laker and my favorite player of all time

John you are a great friend our son kobe and I like that about you

Kobe never spoke smack about anyone. Hes so amazing

I Love John Salley interviews. This one is really Sad tho.

I love Kobe, he's always been my man but the greatest Laker is still Kareem

and a Grammy!!!

Vlad said Kobe scored 61pts, Kobe actually scored 60pts in his final career game!

Been watching the NBA since 92 Magic is clearly the best Laker ever

I love Kobe. I was born in 79' so I was fortunate to see him play his entire career. The second best SG I seen play. I'm sorry though. Kobe was the most skilled Laker ever but Magic Johnson is the "greatest" Laker. He transcended the PG...

No one in the world knew that the 2003-2004 Detroit Pistons could beat the 2003-2004 Los Angeles Lakers except for the Detroit Pistons. That was the most underrated team going into a NBA Finals than ever.

People really be forgetting about magic Johnson... dude played every position in his rookie year and won the title by playing Center when Kareem went out.

I'm going with Kereem Abdul Jabbar.

2004 not 2006

John Salley forgot that Malone & Payton was on the Lakers from 2003-2004, not 06 season I like hearing John stories of the late goat Kobe Bryant! I'm still hurt

13 to 29. Had me laughing

To this day it still doesn't seem real that Kobe Bryant is gone from this Earth!😥 I probably wouldn't be as hurt if his daughter wasn't with him. Greatest tragedy ever 💔

I always said when I have kids I wanted a boy first but after kobe's passing & what said about his daughters I'm ready to be a #girldad

Man if I see another Honey Pot commercial I'm going to lose it...

1:04 Salley was wrong, the Pistons beat the Lakers in 2004 for the NBA championship not 2006

Man that mean Kobe was a all star every year he played. That’s crazy. Well almost every year due to injury

that was the 03-04 season with Karl Malone and GP

Kareem!!!

RIP KOBE!!! I love the clips but I gots say vlad actually sounds like PHIL JACKSON

I wanna be high as John Salley when I grow up

Shaq wasn't in L.A. in 2006. Hecwon the title with Miami

1:05 The Kobe/Shaq/Karl/GP Lakers that lost to the Pistons was 2004, not 2006 1:52 Kobe went back to winning a championship in 2009, not 2010 2:22 Kobe scored 60 in his final game, not 61 4:52 Kobe (rookie) didn't make the 1997 All-Star Game but participated in The Dunk Contest (to which he won) and The Rookie Challenge (Iverson won MVP). The 1999 All-Star Game was canceled (shortened lockout season). He was not injured in any of those years I love you John but sheesh...

Magic is the GREATEST Laker of ALL time! He won an NBA title his rookie season, switched positions for the series and was STILL SUCCESSFUL!♥

Kobe last game he scored 61 points- Vlad

Many would disagree, and pick Magic over Kobe or Alcindor. Any day!

Kobe the GOAT LA in all over the world

This nigga thumbnails be killing me 😂

RIP Hamilton John RIP Hamilton.

The interviewer sounds like Phil Jackson.. 🤔

I think that’s the truth about how to make a winning team. When the players don’t get along they won’t win. Look at the nets. Totally had the talent and means to win the championship and they went on to get swepped by Boston. Poor KD was playing his heart out but he just wasn’t getting help in that series. Must be very frustrating for him.

12 All Defense too. Most sleep and don't understand the value of being a dominant, aggressive and consistent player on both ends of the court. That's exactly what separates kobe and jordan from everyone else.

The Team that lost to the Pistons was the 2004 squad not 2006, and Kobe scored 60 in his last game not 61

Mike was on a level above a human being. With that being said Kobe was the 🐐

2004 sally. Put some respect on Kobe name.

Strictly as a Laker, Kobe was best, Shaq, west, and magic acknowledge it openly and have for a minute, he's 4th all time points all with Lakers, played 20 years since 18 years old, scored 2nd most points in a game ever and won 5 championships, 2 finals MVP and an MVP. Yes magic is the best pg of all time and Kobe the 2nd best sg all time, 3 time MVP in the era of bird and Jordan, won 5 also and went to 9 total (2 more than Kobe) but if magic himself is saying Kobe's the best Laker and the logo is saying it then people got to listen. Though I respect and love magic too, and view it more a tie, growing up with Kobe and the tragedy in the end really put Kobe on a mythic level. Magics HIV diagnosis was sad but he has lived long in the face of that thankfully

If it was your money, who would you rather LEAD a team to a championship? Kobe or Magic? Now who would be your center? Shaq or Kareem?

That was 2004

2004* not 2006

Kareem is the Greatest Player of all time.

He reeeeally needs to see a doctor about the leaking eye thing!!! 👁️💯

This really not even a question

I thought I was the only one who disliked going to watch NBA games in person.

ToP 🖐️ Lakers Wilt Kareem Magic Kobe Salley in that order.

He wrong on the all star thing 18 appearances. twice didn go because of rookie year and lockout season

Magic invented Showtime, he won a Ring in his ROOKIE YEAR, wit no Kareem, and he been in the finals 9 times, knock it off

2006 😂 it’s 2004 , you had one job !!!

How could he forget too mention RICHARD HAMILTON on that’s pistons team. My mans was in his prime

With proximity on his side, I can see how even Magic would say that Kobe is the greatest Laker. Kobe fits right in to a time period where people who do and don't live basketball are familiar with him and that required other iconic comparison in Michael Jordan. To females who Jordan to them is a fashion statement in having new Air Jordans, they're familiar with Kobe. But wouldn't be familiar with Magic. He has the greatness of multiple rings like other Lakers. But the person who really made the expectations of what the modern day Lakers are, it's Magic as the greatest Laker. In the days of Jerry West, the Lakers were a team that was expected to be in the playoffs. But it's Magic who really made it that the Lakers are just expected to be in the playoffs, but they have to be there and win in a Laker way. There's a substance to the style that Magic is responsible for creating. All players that will want to come to the Lakers to restore the team back to greatness or maintain it, will be doing it primarily because of what Magic started.

Dude I’m a Kobe superfan. So much wrong in this clip it’s making my eye twitch: 2004 they lost Det not 2006, 2 times he didn’t make All-Star wasn’t injury. 1 he was a rookie the other was the lockout season. Even when he was hurt he was an All-Star. He only won MVP once also.

I really hate how they give you pieces of the interview

it's Kareem!

That was 2004 when they lost

Kareem had 1 ring with the bucks so he only had five with Lakers..

He said five kids he know a lil some

Vlad knows nothing about basketball and it shows.

What about Baylor and Wilt⁉️🏀

Are John Salley and Vlad roommates or something? Every clip I see, I think “this can’t be another new John Salley” interview, can it?

2004 John, not 2006. And 60 Vlad. Not 61. Kobe is my favorite player ever. But Magic is the greatest Laker ever. Shaq played for many other teams and even won with another team. Kareem won a title before he got to LA and played for Milwaukee for years.

Sally meant 2004.

Not 2006. It’s 2004

Is this jacoby?

Rip Hamilton

R.I.P kobe but I'd say kareem abdul jabbar

That mane won mvp every year he played basically

Kareem is the greatest of all time

I disagree. Magic was the greatest laker but I will not argue against people choosing Kobe.

Magic started this showtime shit. Kobe held down LA/Lakers for longer and was a superstar for longer. Both won 5 championships. It’s dead even to me, even though Kobe is my GOAT.

And Kobe was on the Lakers at 17 not 18

That's how Alpha males are we love girls. Nothing like protecting and proving for your little girls.

Magic is not just the greatest Laker, but the greatest PLAYER of all time. 12 years, 9 Finals, 5 titles in the most competitive era in NBA history.

I would have never said it while he was living , but YES KOBE BEAN BRYANT IS THE GREATEST LAKER OF THEM ALL ! RIP SON !!

Kobe wasn't an all-star his rookie year off the bench nor the strike-shortened 50 game season where there was no all-star game
