    Shoutout Gil for mentioning Kobe’s ability to change his shot pocket. Another one of the little things that separates Kobe from other greats.

    If you’re from California age 32-42 “ me being 35” kobe was our jordan. Yes i had pleasure of watching jordan and it was beyond magical. But i remember kobe more because his career was at time when i was able to fully understand the game and were bit older vs when Jordan was playing
  • @B1ackchi
    The fact the scouting report says if he goes left, he’s gonna maybe give you 30 or 35 vs going right and dropping 50 or 60 🤣 dude was a cheat code
  • @mikemeezy806
    Get Larry Hughes on the couch. He played with Jordan, AI, & Bron. We wanna hear some of those stories

    Props to Shane Battier for breaking down the tape and sharing his battle-scarred knowledge with the new guy.

  • @OugiEin
    Also Kobe would play mindgames. If you tried scouting him, he'd purposely show you the things he was working on cause it was also for the intimidation.
  • @ibwilin8995
    Hearing them talk defense in so much detail is music to my ears
  • @westside8514

    Kenyon. "There is no scouting report for Kobe...good luck and pray" Case Closed

    Gilbert Arenas is so good at breaking down technical aspects of the game. That explanation on scouting reports was so dynamic and interesting. These are the types of NBA convos that they need to be showing on ESPN I also have to add that everyone else was also really good in this clip breaking down habits and how to watch for them. Great analysis.
