know been the one guy that I you know can look at and say wow this guy's really gotten my attention I've always liked Ronnie Price's the defensive sadassee I always like the way he played I mean he always played really hard defensively he's a he's a little bit of a pit bull he just gets after people and you got to love that about it so I just hear the back and forth right [Music] [Applause] [Music] all right [Music] first day I ever seen Nick stick up for himself for himself was uh that day oh when I got caught on camera the one he said nobody in the world oh yeah nobody can go on me I was like I said nobody in the world could guard me yeah Gil was teaching me you know the conference you got to go at him so I was going at him and then Kobe said a line like lucky I'm not from this world or something like that what I mean because I said nobody in the world could go lucky I'm not from this world so we going back and forth it was fun and in all our members like I'm like man what's going on like my first year in the NBA was a shock bro yeah so I'm seeing everything right so I'm like man what's going on so I'm in the training room I'm getting my my rehab and stuff and all I hear is y'all soft like Sherman you know Coldwell had a deep-ass voice so like you hear it music [Music] and uh all I hear is what uh Mitch was like or Mitch cup check was our GM at the time and Cole leaving of court and he like Mitch I'm supposed to get better with this [ __ ] I don't know speaking better with this [ __ ] uh the gym was full of you know young players and some veterans yesterday morning when he showed up you know the whole tenor of the gym changed a little bit it's like you know look who's here did he walk in the locker room he like Joe what the [ __ ] is this Joe what the [ __ ] he's like I'm supposed to practice oh I can't even get better practicing with y'all he's like these [ __ ] making me worse and he just walked out bro there's a lot of stuff that happened after that though yeah you don't know yeah in the locker room yeah it got real crazy in there man we have a date here we ain't gonna talk about you what Jay Lane you said I forgot about all that that's crazy I was like I told him this is how it started I said look you're you're Kobe like I'm coming in trying to learn from you okay so like I'm okay with anything as long as you talk to me like like a man like in terms of like don't talk down to me like I'm a boy talk to me like a man and respect me and then you know he had always said like you know everybody just says what I want them to say like it's very rare that somebody actually stands up to me we didn't speak for the last four months of the Season like nobody knew nobody on the team knew but for me that was like something I was willing to accept because I said what I needed to say to him and if he didn't like that and he didn't and he was like I'm not gonna engage in or like I'm not gonna talk to you anymore I was like all right cool I can I can live with that at least I said what I need to say I'm like damn I don't see this I'm like damn everybody up I'm like yeah they're making you worse and everybody just you know slow by one by one everybody started walking to the locker room my leg was broke so I wasn't soft that day okay and then the next day you know he won and won the game [Music] finally played his first good game here is it San Antonio [Music] Nick Young doesn't hesitate and Nick hits the three John fires it up again he's feeling it he's got the range on his first two crowded key he's got it again and this had himself a start so has Nick Young is red hot but lucky I was coming off the bench so I had my whole unit yeah yeah so it was the bench that provided capris Nick Young knocking down five of those in the first half wait a second dizzy didn't Kobe call out Jeremy Lin and Nick Young at Thursday's practice Charming or something right right now they're playing tough right now and Kobe to the rim were there any points where you took a shot and you was like this is a bad shot but [ __ ] it yeah foreign [Music] [Music] oh [Music] my God look look Kobe's gonna ask for the ball he's like I got this my favorite player isn't Kobe it's me Let It Rain and doing that seemingly all came long actually in the in the back I thought I was open that's fantastic boy was that a hard plot Escape [Music] you know from the yesterday practice I know Kobe talking all that trash it's kind of inspired me today I thought we I thought we played pretty hard for a team full of toilet paper I thought that was pretty good so uh it seemed like Kobe is for someone who was so serious obviously you know you love having fun he took a liking it I don't know what it was but he really Vibe with you yeah like this I've never can we like better than one like running an MVP I swear to God to get Kobe to give you money for sure my favorite game with you is we got the Spurs game when you hit the game winner I want to play some of the clips because I want everyone to watch Kobe the first clip that we got let's watch this this is what is going through your head right here I have never seen Kobe do this in my life okay it kind of happened what did Kobe say after you got a little hop in uh he's he was feeling the swag too I feel yeah he was uh he he was a different Kobe today he was animated talking you know um talking trash doing swaggy p3s what what do you point that too like is there anything you can kind of how did you guys hit it off yeah just for me like it's never backing down from whatever he was in practice always and even just showing up the practice coming to work out with him he he had a lot of respect for guys who busted their butts you know every single day being that they were very talented or not but if you came to work every single day and you didn't back down to him because he would test you you know that's the one thing I loved about it he was test guys in practice how would he test him oh elbowing them talking to them you know telling them they can't guard him you know you got this guy out here and this guy can't hold my jock you know but I mean he would talk so much stuff and he would really just to see how you're going to react to it God showed no sign of weakness of being afraid to play basketball and with anybody so I think he liked the the competition uh wrong like when we playing one-on-ones or just talking trash yeah yeah you like that type those guys always like every every like intense person like they always respect like that you know soften up and I feel like you know you being the fun guy you already kind of brought like the little bit of joy and like you're like so it was like this fun competitive Little Brother Big Brother thing going on so you know what I'm saying so that's what's up man you're getting a lot of credit on Twitter and social media for um lighting a fire under the guys yesterday the result is they played as a team the best game of the season you think what you did yesterday worked I I you know look I mean we can all criticize my style of leadership all day long I mean we really can you can sit there and it's uncomfortable it's uh you know whatever you want to say but yeah I've been doing that since high school and uh you know we played this game to win championships and I have five of them right but I think it worked do you feel like what you did yesterday had something to do with the way they played tonight it's worked pretty well for me throughout my career I'm done all right with that I asked him I said man why are you such an [ __ ] how did you deal with the players that you played with you know knowing that they they were still kind of somewhere on the Spectrum but uh but you're on the top of it I asked him that you say you really want to know you know how he was and he said to me said Phil man my response might sound a little tough but I I just I kill him I bury him um you know it's it's you know tolerance for that and the kind of culture that the Laker organization stood for winning championships is not tolerated some of my teammates don't understand the work but if you're lazy man I don't want to talk to you I want to deal with you you don't make me feel Dumber you know you know you're gonna lower my level I don't think so go over there let's clean your teams in here where you'll fit right in he said so I see dudes walk into practice 10 minutes before practice and they leave right after why the [ __ ] am I gonna pass them to basketball yeah tell me on the plane like this is my gift and my curse if I feel like the other players on the court with me ain't really playing as hard as me I'm not passing I'm taking on the entire team by myself you're going to show up to play and you're gonna allow the gags through the scrimmage through this drill true I'm going to let you know I beat you I'm going to want you to reconsider your professional life choice I'm a respected work ethic people will say okay that doesn't make a great teammate well I'm not here to be a great teammate I'm here to help you win championships I want to say it's almost like a prison mentality when it comes to like he's going to test your manhood almost in a way that like he's gonna he's gonna push you and see where your heart is at you know and if you if you come in and you act like a little punk and you don't you you punk out then he's not gonna he's not gonna mess with me he would talk so much stuff and he would really just to see how you're going to react to it he's going to test you and definitely push you in practice is it intimidating um you know I know that I've seen it I definitely know where how his mind's his mindset is but before I was like damn tell them how you really feel you know I'm in here busting my ass every day trying to perfect my craft and these dudes these dudes don't want to work on the game I don't trust them so I'm not going to pass them to basketball I'm gonna ride them hard every day made perfect sense when he really broke it down as to why he is the way he is with certain dudes I was just like I respect that bro so for me I have nothing but positives no negatives at all um towards him as a teammate and especially out actually we all call them OG all of us younger guys as rookies and that we you know OG and so I have no negatives about the LG he took us under his wing and he taught us things you know bigger than basketball and so for that I'm grateful and you know I I don't have the stories that others have but I can see where they probably come from though and he would do it to just see which of these guys he could be in that Foxhole with which of these guys I can trust to have my back when I'm on the test it's a test yeah and he was always you know you know testing guys to in that way to try to find out you know which of these guys I can trust and go to battle with but you know a lot of it has made like the virality of certain clips of like him yelling at me Nick Young and Jay Hill you know in practice yeah that was that was a day for sure and I hope you guys enjoyed the video if you did please help me
