 Right guys how we doing welcome back to get another reaction video. It's my absolute pleasure to introduce you to a man a myth a legend That I really that really doesn't need any introducing. Let's be fair. It's Kobe Bryant the black mumba I've never really known exactly why they call him the the mumba or what the mumba mentality is But I'm sure we'll get into that either way guys. This is a video by Joseph Vincent It's 20 minutes long. This is titled Kobe Bryant the black mumba career documentary episode one So I'm assuming you must have done a few episodes Which we may get into either way This is my introduction to Kobe Bryant my introduction to a bit of NBA basketball on the channel and Another ode to the great man Joseph Vincent. So let's get into it But to be successful you have to be able to persevere so people see your success now, but you've had to overcome some It's tough to be in another country Hang on does he grew up in Italy? learning multiple languages Mother As you may know his dad Joe jelly bean Bryant played for many years in Italy So that's where Kobe picked up the beautiful Italian. So our parents just immersed it Joe jelly bean Bryant It's an Italian culture tourists surrounded by Italian kids We were just learning the language as they were for me growing up in isolation turned out to be a great strength They've also turned out to be a weakness doing things that I kind of I'll tell you what it's the first time I've seen Kobe at that age. That's for sure That reminds me of the previous video when we saw Tiger Woods as a young kid coming through the ranks You know destined for great things, but you never really knew at that point, right? I dropped back in America. So now to move back Kind of getting adjusted to the culture what I remember would be him coming in as a kid Is that in college? And tremendous expectation So he was dunking on motherfuckers heads from the get-go. Let's be fair. No, that's in the NBA surely His high school coach saying they would they would get there and he would be shooting baskets in the dark They hadn't even turned the lights on yet. When did you know no one is gonna out work me? I never looked at it as work. I didn't realize it was working He just loved it shooting baskets in the dark before the team or the coach even entered the building People want to assume that because someone has physical attributes. They don't have mental attributes. They always want to say that Well, if you combine the physical and the mental Chairman This isn't high school, I remember a guy in my high school team who could dunk like that His name was Kelly boa. He was African of African descent I mean, he just had physical attribute skills that that no one could match and believe it or not I came second in the high jump only to the great man Kelly boa Uncommon amongst uncommon people Taking TV and recording star Brandy to his prom That's the Kobe Bryant killing people right there 18 year old Kool-Aid smile fresh out of high school bald headed Kobe He's the best player in the nation for anybody in high And that was prior to coming to the NBA that's crazy, it's not as if he You know came just out of the woodworks and no one knew about him He was he was the top high school basketball player in the nation Did he go to college though I tell you what there's one thing he loves doing and that slamming slamming dunks on motherfuckers heads Yeah High school ranks to the professional ranks how serious is that party? Well, it's definitely a possibility. I think I'd be foolish like to look into that So mentioned in sports illustrated you said I'll go to college But if I don't think I can get better in college, I'm just gonna skip. That's just what I was gonna ask Or maybe you're surprised. What's it gonna be college or the NBA? Oh, no Right And that ends a 53 year And Kobe Bryant showed his true medal show what he could do and there's the young man that has been so bally-hoed Passionate even at a young age Father jellybean joe bryant son Kobe embracing So i'm assuming jellybean joe bryant played in Italy let's have a look at him jellybean joe bryant Would you have a look at that nicknamed jellybean Is an american former professional basketball player and coach he played for the philadelphia 76 is san diego Clippers and houston rockets of the mba He also played for several teams in italy and one in france bryant was the head coach of the wmba's Los angeles sparks from 05 to 07 and returned to that position for the remainder of the 2011 WMW of season bryant is also coach in italy japan in thailand He's still alive. He's 67 And it's such a tragedy when a parent outlives their their their child isn't it joe washington bryant aka jellybean I don't mind the nickname. I must admit Look i'm i'm i'm on baited hooks here guys Is he gonna say the mba? Is he gonna say college? I don't know I actually don't know but thinking that it's 1996 And he played 20 odd years. I'm gonna say I'm gonna say he went to the mba and I don't know this for sure No, I have to say just give college and take my talent to the mba The people don't know about that is I've I had a bet with my classmates on whether or not I would do that or not Or he would do what? Like the pause Well, it's an opportunity of a lifetime I feel it's time for me to go out I reckon he should put those glasses on And take the red pill and go straight into the matrix to be fair Yeah, some people, you know, we're just hating One of the 17 year old kids is our high school superhero a star or star struck People don't want to babysit the 18 to 19 year old kid. He can go get a shot for himself Mate this guy was in the gym in the dark an hour before the team got in there. This ain't no 1819 kid This is a superstar on the making Let's be fair Even in the mba, he'll be able to create shot. Yes, he will. Yes, he will. It's at the age of 18 I knew that I was not going to start. What number was my life? 13th pick To the lake as I assume shallot hornets. Fuck. That's something new. I don't know that that's for sure From lower maryon high school in pennsylvania Weak to the hornets Jerry west told me today that kind of lasted long surely this young man thought he was going to be absolutely fantastic Kobe Bryant, he was acquired from the charlotte hornets in the exchange for blade divas. Everybody remembers that trade Remember what you told me. Blade diva When I first met you, you said you were going to be the greatest player of all time She He literally came into the league Having skipped college 19 years of age and said to shack Instantly when he came to the team, I will be the greatest player of all time. Now that is some confidence For his first nba points the first time that he hadn't been a starter on his team And the first time he hadn't been the best player and the first time the coach had kind of had to criticize him A few times I'd sit the bench and slam slam it down slam it down slam it down. What are you going to do? I knew I could play with these guys. I wasn't getting the opportunity to show A guy by the name of del harris was a former coach of the los angeles lakers Del harris is a good man You can't get much more of a smooth move than that right bit of a bit of a shake Shimmy bit of a shake and shake and bake what have you crossover into the middle the lanes open. He takes it To the rim and slams it down He's 19 years of age he's just come into the league and he's slamming it on motherfucker's heads Right because shack is like I'm superman back man. I'm the big brother you the little brother. Kobe wasn't trying to be anybody's little brother Don't you worry about giving it to shack by go up yourself He was just special another thing you told me as an 18 year old I'm gonna be better than Mike So I knew it definitely drove you Oh He was different from everyone else Well, I'll tell you what he's got hops. I'll tell you I'll say that much this kid's really cocky Or he believes in If you've got massive hands and you can palm the ball plus hops The world's your oyster Whoa, perfect timing. Who'd he give that to? Oh, hang on Hang on he was past the alley-oop Oh, you don't want that What's he gonna do here? Oh Could be anything honestly You see Kobe Bryant get a fast break with no one in front of him. Who knows what he's gonna That's the thing like he's probably got two like What a second a second and a half if not two seconds to decide What kind of spectacular dunk am I going to throw down right here? Because it's certainly not going to be a generic layup. It's going to be something spectacular And in this case it was a 360 dunk Shack gets the rebound passes it to fissure on to Kobe. Oh my gosh That was within two that was literally that was literally two seconds from shack taking the board down To Kobe Bryant scoring on the opposite end. How can you defend that? You can't Hollywood park next door never been there probably never will but I wouldn't mind it The youngest player And this is the NBA dunk contest, yeah Here's a cool cat if ever did see one, what do we got here? What do we got here? Uh through the legs Slams it down. I mean we've seen it time and time again, but Back in the the the late 90s I don't know if we have we had seen that to be fair As a rookie comes into the league skips college comes into the league wins the NBA dunk contest And becomes what meaning will say the greatest of all time Five seconds left, what's he gonna do? Take stock away Kobe should not have been in the game Okay, bit of adversity here. I like it. I like the way Joseph Vincent set this up because you need a bit of adversity to come back from and um, yeah, it looks as if uh, he is actually capable of of Throwing an airball Unbelievably put him in the game specifically to teach him a lesson because he got tired Stocking all over great second seven seconds. Here's the three-pointer Well, Shaq ain't happy and I can only assume Kobe Bryant wasn't either I really thought that was defining on this grip, you know why? If somebody would have shot an airball in our team And that shot a second one Everyone was you the third one He was fearless I think that's one of the things is bird hand to great He wouldn't allow himself to fail You have to take the good with the bad I don't mind the track, sir. You go down with the ship Thanks a lot. Well, there's a player in the game today that's been compared more than anybody else to Michael Jordan That's Kobe Bryant of the Lakers. That was early days the first two or three years in his in his career. He was already Compared to the likes of Michael Jordan, which Did they play against each other they must have? I called Kobe and he was like, so what was the light? What's going to get Jordan? I was like, man, this is that black cat. We tried this. We tried that. You know what? We better get ready for the carol milk cat The Basically the same player I mean, let's be fair. They're basically the same player. What's what's gonna happen here? Don't tell me don't tell me he's got it over him Oh, he drains it. He drains it From mid-range over Michael Jordan in his prime for the Chicago Bulls. That's insane Kobe Bryant Was that 97 98 who knows Oh, mate the prison in the future Incredible was you know, they called the black panther to call black jesus and all this stuff I want to see this Little advice from the master Is that we wind up we wind up becoming a big brother That's sick, man Honestly in the world of basketball, you can't get much better than that man Kobe Bryant and and Michael Jordan Sitting down on the knees just getting a wee breather. You know what I mean? It might have been a free throw. It might have been a Timeout who knows but they were talking and they were Chattering away and and having a wee chin chin wag and Passing on, you know knowledge passing on wisdom You know Michael Jordan is impressed with that Kobe Bryant has sent a message that he is the future I can pinpoint things before they actually happen. Last year I would go through games where everything was like It's like a blur I could see things a lot better than I could last year. Oh, what am I gonna say? Bryant's minutes are up. His scoring is up and he's upgraded his defense Now the 19 year old veteran is making the types of impression that Van Gogh and Monet would be proud of 19 years old and much more Oh Joseph he missed the shot. Why are you including that? That's the thing bro. Not only can he cross you up with these But the fact is that if he is within, you know I'm gonna say 10 feet 15 feet of the rim He's gonna go over you and it's up to you whether you want to You know fowl him I suppose whether you want to Get knocked the fuck back by his just absolute Athletic prowess or whether you want to just watch Be a bystander in the paint and watch him dunk over you I mean, which which option would you choose to be fair? I think I'd choose to try and absorb the offensive foul But he's gonna get so high and he's gonna he's gonna take off so early that uh, it's probably not gonna happen Oh shak and kobe combining in their primes is just I mean, we've got kevin garnett there playing for the timberwolves that's Hey, hang on. What's that? Is that a that must be an all-star game surely the bridging of the two generations between michael jordan And then to kobe bryant players today talk about kobe bryant being their michael jordan He not lebron Is the closest player to stylistically michael jordan? Oh look out right on cowboy kobe Get out of my way To the head of bryant You have those extreme winners that's literally to the exclusion of everything else including their family including You know other people focused on just one thing. Yeah, nobody works harder That's why they're and they they love to win in an almost psychotic way That's one of the reasons why shak as he would say tried to slap him Is because he was so cocky about what his intentions were You guys had a fight several weeks ago. Did he connect on the punchy through? No No, I was swift on it on the duck I've got to do a bit of research here this this video was created and published on may 19th 2018 So if we look up kobe bryant's Wikipedia He died January 26th 2020 A year and a half after this And the fact that i'm watching this guy And the fact that he's actually he's he's not with us anymore is It hits me every now and then you know, and I get goosebumps. I I brush them off I I realize that this guy's actually not with us anymore and You know what a tragedy it is it's Way too young way way too young Way too young who's the best player you've played with kobe number eight definitely kobe That might have been a travel Get into the jam at about five Working on his jazz devs hitting the gym at five. Everything's perfect And uh, that's kobe kobe in his career had 40 game-winning mix. I wonder how many hours he slept I'm gonna say I'm gonna say I'm gonna say I'm gonna say six But when you think about his athletic performances, you'd think he'd need at least eight So I maybe he just went to bed really early That's the thing it's not as if he he got every shot right But when it mattered he was willing to take the shot And 50 percent of time it went in 50 percent of the time it didn't But it's those times that it did go in that people remember Scotty pippin What the fuck he went to the trial blazers. Well, I didn't know that Shaq and kobe those were cold stars. They needed each other to be as great as they were Now the first thing that the lakers have to realize is they've got 12 minutes to play with only a 13 point game Not anymore Steve smith hits on the run and it's 15. I don't think you go to the aftershack I should have appreciated it more Whoo, what a block that was I should have appreciated you more get up son I'm actually wondering what his vertical jump was. I mean, I've seen so many vertical jumps during the nfl Combines over the years, but what was what what what are these basketball players vertical jumps? I mean, seriously, what are they? I need to know I need to know If it's on the internet, of course because if it's not over 40 inches I would be surprised and what that would mean is that 38 inches 38 inches now that's that's that's that's fairly decent. I mean it's six foot six You get a six foot six tight end in the nfl jumping a 38 inch vertical jump That is elite, right? But we do have a guy called kyle pits and i'm pretty sure that he not only runs a 4.3 Something 40-hour dash, but he's also got a 40 inch vertical jump and that Is the basis of why I actually picked him for my fantasy football team. So, yeah The fight for everything here The assertiveness the offense now poby But I think now both of them look back fondly and miss a little bit of what they did have Get up check slam it down goes up by six thirty seconds to go at least fucking go Beautiful you know what you know what I'm really disappointed about is the fact that I've just I've really just realized that this this really Is only covering the first part of his career, right being that it's episode one Um, are we gonna have to continue this now? He's gonna be playing four different paces. We're gonna have to continue this He's gonna be waiting for that glamour matchup kobi versus ranching He is without question one of the 10 best players in the history of the league Well, it's not your your classic skyhook, but it's certainly a 38 inch vertical jump. That's for sure They really appreciated that competitive fire and it was that ability to sort of let it rip He's got an incredible jump shot at least he's there He was never the stiff curry type three-point shooter who could pull it up from absolutely anywhere, but Hang on is that shorn bradley That's it And the O'Neill's out there we go 36 points 21 rebounds No wonder he's fouled out Up by one two minutes to go overtime What are we gonna do here we've got two minutes to go it's not it's not as if it's at the dead Is that a three I feel like his foot was over the line Shacks off the field shackers off the court, which is not good Takes the whole game and just puts it on the show Get up get up Kobe Unbelievable absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much for watching guys Uh, I do believe that this would be episode two The prodigy and following that episode three Number 24, which must mean he he changed his number from 8 to 24 Um, shit. What do what do you do? What do you do at these times? I don't know either way guys Thank you for watching. I hope you've been entertained somewhat Rest in peace to the big man And um for those of us with flight anxiety doesn't matter whether it's a Helicopter doesn't matter whether it's a fucking Doesn't matter whether it's a plane doesn't matter whether it's a jetpack We still have that anxiety around it and I I'll be honest I I get huge anxiety especially when we're coming into land right because I the only thing I can imagine is that the that Those little wheels we think they're little, but they're not they're not little. Let's be fair. Um But they seem little and those little wheels come down and we we we hit the tarmac and all I can Imagine happening is you know, it's skidding out right it's skidding out that the plane going sideways and basically, you know Skidding down the the the runway Overturning multiple times and basically the whole entire plane going up in flames That is basically what goes through my mind every single time I come down And land but it hasn't happened yet either way. Thank you for watching and I'll see you soon Peace out
