Lebron's 44 was half the amount that kobe bryant scored on the raptors last week. Before that, he was already a rare breed in the nba. Kobe has separated himself as a superstar among the stars of his day. But will his talent place him above all who came before him? From the moment he broke onto the scene, comparisons were made. And after he and shaquille o'neal fought their way to a three-peat in los angeles, it seemed a matter of time before his name would be etched in history. But that road would not be without its trials two years ago, his world nearly came undone, when he faced sexual assault charges.
>>”I'm disgusted at myself for making a mistake of adultery.”
Not surprisingly, he found refuge only on the basketball court. His play overcame all. Conflict with shaq, phil jackson, and advertise relationship with the media. This season with jackson back in the lakers' fold, he's been a man on a mission. Capped by his 81 point barrage.
Ladies and gentlemen, you have witnessed the second-greatest scoring show in nba history.
So, how will kobe be remembered? As a scoring legend? Or as one of the players that eclipsed the great michael jordan. These days, it seems anything's possible. You know what? I'm not going to waste your time trying to come up with things to describe maybe the baddest basketball player on the planet right now. Ladies and gentlemen, get up on
your feet, stay on your feet and give it up for the one and only kobe bryant!
[ Applause ]
All right. All right. He heard y'all. I'm sure you get used to that by now. How you doing, big boy?
>>I'm doing great man.
You know, last time, you though, we talked about a lot of things with kobe bryant, but the last thing, 81 points on the raptors. What did you think about? Tell me.
>> Well -- we just wanted to win the game. And -- you know, in that type situation, we were down by 18, 20 points. We needed not As the leader of the ball club, I need to provide that spark. That's what i try to do.
Now that sounds good, and I'm not denying that. The difference is, i watched that game. With three minutes left, you knew you were going to win the game. You overcame the 14-point deficit. You demoralized them, which is what you like to do. When did you know that you were going for 80?
>> Well -- when i had about 77 points and the crowd --
[ Laughter ]
The crowd just got into it. My teammates got into it. They wanted to see me go for it. That's what i tried to do.
When you talk about the 81 points, obviously that's second to wilt. I think about -- i put that performance second, let me just reveal what i feel. Not wilt's100 points. Michael jordan's 61 in a playoff game, i put right up there. Do you think it should rank two, three, one all time? Do you think about that?
>> I don't think about it much. I just go out there and try to play the game. As a fan, it's much easier for me to judge what michael did, larry did, magic did many the game.
But I'm not talking about while you were playing. After you know you've done it, you win the game, and you go back home, and you think about reflect on what you've a accomplish accomplished.
>> You look at what michael's done in the playoffs, magic, larry, and put those type of performances up in the playoffs is another thing. Hopefully we can get there and have a good showing in the playoffs.
Right. Not to sour your mood, but i don't think this will. Vince carter had something to say, of all people. Had something to say about your 81 points. Let me read this quote to you. "The only bad thing about it is that younger kids whose minds are easily warped are going to think I'm going to go out there and do it instead of the team concept first." Vince carter said this about your 81 points. When you heard comments like that, especially for coming from a guy that's known on dunking people, what thoughts come to your mind?
>> I really let it go. I think if people were watching the game, knew what that game was about, knew what i had to do to kind of get us back in the game. A the end at the end of the day, we won the game.
Here's the part that people don't know about you, but i think i know. See, I ask you the question, and your eyes get narrow, and what that saying to me, I'm going to remember vince said that when i see him next time.That's what that says to me.
[ Laughter ]
Am I lying?
>> I just try to use everything I can very motivation, as a tool for me to be able to elevate my team to play the best basketball. I try to use a bit of everything.
You had it out before. You got into a shoving match. What was that about, by the way?
>> I'm not really sure. I think it was a physical game, and, he tried to go to the basket, and i tried to strip the ball. Wound up by a foul. He had some, you though, hard feelings about it, and we had some words.
You know, i think about it, say to myself, a lot of people are going to come at you hard. Do you find that to be the case now? Everybody talks about lamar odom, it's a young team, you're the leader. Do you find that cats are coming after you harder and stronger than ever before?
>> I knew that going into this season. Lamar and i talked about that prior to the start of the season. What our opposition was going to do. And, one of the things i said, our mentality has to be, we're going to hunt you. And that's how i approach the game every single night. I'm not going to wait for you to take the first blow, put us on hour heels. We're going to strike first.
I think about the lakers -- are you the only person on your team that has that kind of attitude?
>> I don't think so. I really don'T. Believe it or not -- we really do have some players that are willing to step up and play hard.
But the difference between playing hard and being an assassin. Allen iverson, he called you a flat-out assassin.
[ Laughter ]
That's what he said.
[ Laughter ]
That's what he said. That's what he said. But seriously. You look at this team right now -- how far do you think you guys can go with the team that's presently con producted. You leading the way. How far?
>> You though, it's a tough thing to judge. You know, in the system that we play in is really predicated on us being on the same page and having that chemistry. It's tough for us to pick up the game, how phil teaches the triangle. Once we pick it up, you'll see
the improvement.
Why is it takes so long?
>> This offense, everybody has to been be on the same page at the
same time. You can't just run a zipper action, going to get stephen A. The bal, this ball, this is your play, isolate on the post. That's not what we do. Everything is predicated off
reads. We have to play defense and each and every player out there has to make the adjustments. It's cool to think about, but it's difficult to get.
Especially when there's only one kobe wript on bryant on the team. Stephen A. Smith, I'm in the house with kobe bryant. We're going to talk more about the lakers, more about kobe, and lord knows what else might come up. We'll be back in a minute.
>> In hindsight, it was great, because it gave my experience, see how other cultures live, to mature, as face about, you know, having a broader understanding of what the world looks like. So, I mean, it helped me a lot. When it came to basketball, my grandparents sent me all the games. The lakers, the celtics the bulls. They sent them out to us. I used to sit at the house, watch the games over and ore and over again.
How did that shape your personality? When people talk about kobe bryant, they say, had he grown up in the states, he may have had a more outgoing personality. How did that effect your personality?
>> I'm an outgoing guy. I'm not outgoing with people i don't know.
There you consider yourself outgoing?
>> People that know me, yes.
You know what they say about you. People that know you that say you're an outgoing guy, what would they say about you?
>> Pretty about sarcastic dude.
Listen, coming in -- i think about this, too. You're in high school.You play at lower marion. 30 points, 12 rebounds. You did everything. I know all of that stuff, but
you decide to go pro. Why? Because you were going to go to duke, if you elected to go to
college. Why did you make the decision to go pro?
>> Well, i had a chance to play against some of the best basketball players in the worldworld, and the decision, the reason why I made the decision, so be able to compete against them every single night, and to learn as a higher level than, you know, anything that i could learn at the college level.You play against the best. So, I said, you know what? If I'm ready or not, i don't know. Once I get there, I'll be able to learn from the best, and i will be one day ready.
But when did you make the decision that, ready or not, nba here i come. When did you make that call?
>> Well, i mean, you have to make -- you have to make your estimations as far as where you're going to draft. I didn't just blindly jump into a decision not knowing where i was going to end up. Once i was comfortable where i could go, i went for it.
It's interesting you bring that up. The charlotte hornets drafted you with the 13th overall pick. Did you know you were going to los angeles? Were you anticipating you were going to be in charlotte?
>> Actually after i got drafted, you have to do your calls. I go in, i speak to a
representative from the organization, at the time, and they said, they told me that,
you know, that were looking to move me, because they really didn't have a need for me. I said --
They didn't have any use for you, though they traded for you divac?
>> Was 17 year i was 17 years old, i heard that, i was like, okay. I know what I'm going to do every day this summer.
What was that?
>> Training my butt off. That was telling me, you can't do something. We don't need you?
But where did you get -- again, we go to your personality. Didn't i just tell y'all about
his eyes narrow and everything. Okay, okay, I'm going to remember y'all. Where did that come from? The perception is, growing up in italy, we don't view italy the way review harlem, new york, southside of chicago. You are looking at a comfortable environment. That fire in your eyes, that fire in your belly, it's usually not perceived as being there. Where do you get that from, then?
>> I don't know where it comes from. Growing up in italy, what i used to hear a lot used to drive me crazy. All the kids would say, you know what, you're a good basketball
player here. Once you go back to the states, you're not going to do any of this stuff.
They told you that?
>> They told me they're taller, faster. That just absolutely drove me crazy.
So, then, you come back to the states and your mission is to prove things. And you end up just killing everybody on the high school level. You go to the pros. Utah. Western conference, semifinals, air ball.
>> You remember that?
I do.
>> I'm sure you do. Bring bring it up.
Hold on -- trust me, I'm on your side there. You shot an air ball in regulation. You shot two air balls in overtime. Everybody was sitting there crucifying you. This is what i was thinking. Del harris started this game just six games this season. Why is this rookie in that
position? Especially when there was friction, because you wanted more playing time and you thought you deserved it. Why buter in that position to begin with? What were the thoughts going through your mind when the air balls came raining down on the bell that center?
>> Okay. I took the first one. It felt good. It did. It felt good. And it went short. I just said -- damn. I'm going to make the next one. The next one -- damn. I'm gonna make the next one. I shoot the next one -- damn. Okay, I'm due. All right. And I shot two more.
Well, well, well -- sorry to digress for a second. But how does an air ball feel good? I want to know.
>> That's a really good question. But sometimes, you shoot the ball, and you release it, and the trajectory feels good, your follow-through is good, it's in line, you keep the follow-through up in the air and it goes short. But it feels good. So, it's kind of like a shock to miss those sometimes.
Now, after that experience, that weighs on your mind, but ultimately, kobe bryant works on his game, shaquille o'neal is right there in the house with you to begin with. Your game is elevated to another level. What did you do to get your game to that level, specifically? We have a whole bunch of basketball kids in the how. What did you do to get your game to that level?
>> The prime example is, I've had the same trainer training me for ten years. After I shot the air balls, i sat there and i thought, as soon as we got on the mane, went back to L.A. That night. We went through the whole season, and the thing we came down to, the conditioning program needed to be adapted.
Give it to me quick. What did you do?
>> We worked on the conditions sing with the track. We went the court. We did that all summer loom long. At the end of the game, the shot felt good, but my legs were
tired. I wasn't ready. So, what am i going to have to do to, next time I'm in that position, to make the shot.
Do you do that to this day?
>> Absolutely. How can i make this, that better? So, I'm always asking the questions to improve.
Were you asking that question when you won the championship? The three-peat. What questioning did you ask yourself that time?
>> How can we win another one. Because every year, when you win a championship the next time you come back, it's harder. People are gunning for you. We knew how people were going to play shaquille.
How was that?
>> They crowd him. They try to physically beat him up or put him at the line in critical situations. I had to sit back and say, as his sidekick, what am i going to do to bring to the table to help us win the championship? I knew his weak vnss. I have to make those my
strengths. That's how the combination worked.
What do you think you did bring to the table? When we see you, we see shaquille o'neal, 7'1", 350 pounds, we see kobe as everything else. What were we missmissing? In terms of you on the court.
>> I think a lot of subtle things that phil jackson taught me how to do to facilitate the offense. I was a quarterback. That's the role that lamar has with this team now. You have to quarterback the offense. You have to now how they play rick fox on the wing, they have to now how to play shaq. You have to read all the angles. That was my job. I had to study the game.
How did you like it?
>> I loved it. It game a challenge. And the reason why it was fun more for me is, i can watch film and get a kick out of the fact that this team is getting abused and they have no idea how to stop it. The fact that we're thinking about how to take advantage of them. And i sat back and i enjoyed that.
When did it seem like you didn't like being the quarterback?
>> I don't know. I always enjoyed doing it.You can't be successful at something if you don't enjoy it. We won three championships in five years. If i didn't enjoy my role, how
can you wip a championship or be successful? It just doesn't work.
>> Stephen A. Smith, "quite frankly," I'm in the house with the one and only kobe bryant. We're going to get more into the lakers, yes, I'm going to ask about shaq. He can talk. He likes to do that, too.
[Commercial]-------------------------------------------
This is stephen A. Smith, this is "quite frankly," I'm in the house with kobe bryant. Really getting to him and expressing how upset i am spending the summers in san antonio, rather than southern california. Before we get into that, i want to show you something that magic johnson had to say about the departure of shaquille o'neal from los angeles to miami. Here's what magic johnson had to say. Take a look.
>> It still don't make sense mo me. Here's two young men, the two best players in the game, they could have went down in history as the best two duos to ever play in this game. Together.
Better than magic kareem?
>> They could have been. They would have won more championships than us. Better than michael and scottie. They would have won more championships. But it was interesting to me that they had these issues, and so there was nobody in the locker room to sit them down, say, look, man, and i was trying to tell both of them, you're better off with one another than you're going to be without each other.
You hear something like that coming from the great magic johnson, what goes through your mind?
>> You obviously have to think about what could have been. Being that, he's a person i
looked up to since i was a kid. His opinion means a lot to me. But at the same time, situations are what they are.You try to move on from them. Shaq's down in miami. I wish him all the best. And we're here, trying to get the organization back to the top, so, you try to learn from it.
That's right.And i support you moving on, after the next hour or so, but I want to get into it, because, seriously, because, one of the things i wanted to -- i wanted to give you the flat form to really discuss why? Why would couldn't that work out in your estimation? What was the reason for it?
>> You know what? I can only speak for myself. And personally, playing with him, that was easy. I had no problem praying withing playing with him whatsoever what a lot of
people don't understand is when i was a free agent, becoming a free agent, i look at other
teams, where i might want to go, what challenge to accept. As that process was coming up, they inform me they're trading shaquille o'neal. That means they're not going to send me anywhere that's how the situation went down. I wasn't in touch with him when he went through the deal with the lakers. I just distanced myself from the situation. And -- you know, like i said, he ended up in south beach.
Was chicago one of the teams?
>> I was planning on going to chicago.
You were planning on going to chicago during your free agency, before you signed that seven-year extension. You were going to be -- you're going into michael jordan's house, and you were going to be kobe bryant.
>> Well, chicago and the clippers. And the clippers was an easier transition for me.
We both know about the clippers. Forgive me if i can't imagine you in a clippers' uniform.
>> It was very serious at the time. Yeah -- i liked what they had to say. I liked their players. I've known some of the guys for a long time. Chicago, not too many people
know about that. They thought i was waiting to be a laker, but i was looking at other teams sflchlt back steams.
Back to shaq for a second. I know you said you wanted new challenges, but it didn't seem like it was a basketball team. Hate is too strong of a word, but clearly, there was a healthy dislike, it appeared, that both of you had for one another. Where did that come from in the mid-of winning three world championships together? And being recognized as possibly the greatest dynamic duo arguably in the history of basketball?
>> You know what, man, i don't dislike him at all. I really don'T. For me, it's all about
challenges. I kind of have to sit back, say, do i want to take on another challenge? My peers say, well, he's only this good because he plays with shaq. If i played with shaq, I'd have three rings. Or, if you believe shaq, you'll never have another title. You hear stuff from your peers. I don't like that. So, I had to sit down and evaluate, is this a challenge i
want to take on? And -- you know, that's pretty much the process i was going through.
Kobe bryant is on the record, he says, i don't dislike shaq, but though shaq never said it, he gave every indication to everybody imaginable, at one point. Certainly not now. At one point, he didn't particularly like you too much. Where did that come from? I'm quite sure you may have asked somebody.
>> I don't know. I think that's something that, you know, that's something for him to answer if he chooses to answer it. Personally, I didn't have any problems.
Listen. Magic johnson sat in your chair, and so did shaquille o'neal. Let me show you that shaq had to say. Check this out, in the house on "quite frankly." Take a look.
>> I never complained. He just say something, i say something back. Somebody hit you, you got to hit him back, man. It wasn't nothing serious. It wasn't anything personal. I got traded, business was taken care of. I wish him well. I wish everybody well.
You hear that from shaquille o'neal, your thoughts?
>> Maybe -- I've heard him say a couple times I'm the one responsible for him leaving los angeles. That's just not the case.
What was responsible for him leaving? I'm asking for as somebody that works for the organization that is familiar with what goes on within the organization. Why is shaquille o'neal in a heat uniform?
>> I think that's a question for mr. Buss. He's answered that several times already, as far as it being a business decision. Whatever his motives were. Don't know, it's not my job.
I don't get into it.
Now, I have to revisit one other thing. You talked about shaq. There was a quote that you had given to jim gray of espn, before the 2004 season, i believe, where you said that he was fat and out of shape.
>> Uh-huh.
You know, that doesn't -- i mean, like you said, you don't dislike him, but you didn't like him that day.
>> No, but that's job related. There's nothing about him as a person. And i always told shaq that. In practice, i used to tell him, man, you have to get ready. Did he like hearing it? Probably not. But my job on the team is to make sure we're fully functional.
That was your job back then? Somebody looks at a man like him and be scared to say something like that.
>> No, i mean -- that was part of my role, you know. That's what i try to do with him. But - probably rubbed him the wrong way.
Are you glad you did it?
>> Glad i did what?
That you would be on guys if it was shaq or anybody else. When you talk about taking the leadership guy and be on a guy like that. Are you glad that you got on him? Maybe not with that specific quote --
>> You know, something i can take back was, you know, being public with it. I think it goes into, you know, being a bit immature. As far as taking something public. Say the same thing, but without bringing it to light so it becomes a big public issue. I think he and i were both guilty of that.
When you think about a few weeks after, i believe it was january 16th. He comes up to you, at the staples center. You guys have a game on martin luther king's holiday. He shakes your hand, and, basically, it's the truce. It's the wellwell-publy silzed truth. Before that transpired, it almost seems as if his silence was so conspicuous that it gave life to the quote/unquote feud that everybody perceived. Did you look at it that way?
>> No.
How did you look at him?
>> I know him. I know him very well. You know him in and out.
Tell us what you know.
>> I felt like public took something, the media took something and ran with it. And him just playing to that. But he -- you know -- you talk to him, you ask him a question about me as a basketball player --
Nobody's ever questioned you about a basketball player. Nobody's that stupid.
>> That's why our relationship -- that's what brought our relationship together was us playing the game and winning championships. Him coming up, on mlk's birthday, that's big for us the city of los angeles, and big for our youth as a whole.
Why?
>> Well, because you see, you know, kids that look up to us. Kids that watch us play in the nba, inspire to be where we are. See these two grown men putting their differences aside, putting the altercations or spat, you know, that we had aside, and just coming together, saying, you know what, it is what it is. Let's move on. I'm happy for you, for me, let's do our thing.
You heard him. That's kobe bryant. This is stephen A. Smith. "Quite frankly," we're in the house. Talking about the lakers, the nba. Don't think i forgot about phil jackson, wyane wade, lebron james.
Stephen A. Smith, "quite frankly," I'm back in the house with kobe bryant of the los
angeles lakers. And forgive me for bringing up phil jackson, but you shouldn't have any problem for what I'm about to say. I'm going to show you an excerpt from phil jackson's book. Mind you, phil jackson wrote this, not kobe bryant. Here's what he had so say.
"I won't coach this team next year if he is still here. He won't listen to anyone. I've had it with this kid."
Here's another thing. "I sometimes think kobe is so addicted to being in control he would rather shoot the ball when guarded or double teamed than dish it to an open teammate. He is saying to himself, how can I trust anybody else." Here's my question to you, kobe. How many times have i asked you how things going with phil jason. You say everything's going well. I'm happy phil is back. How can you be happy that man is
back?
>> You know what? Life is short. You can't carry baggage. Can't go around carrying resent. It's too short. You have to forgive and move on. You just come here, he's come
here to help us get back to the top. He's coaching me, supporting me, he's told me that. So, who am i to judge somebody to not forgive him and to move on.
Give him a round of applause.
[ Applause ]
And the reason i say that, because that would have been hard for me to have that. I would have forgave him eventually. I'm thinking -- here's my problem. Phil jackson is a great coach, one of the greatest ever. There is no debating that. But not only did he break a code in my estimation, of keeping things in house, but he's the one that promotes that code, that pushes for you guys to have those kinds of standards. So, he violated standards in my mind, that he was advocating. Considering that, what -- would the kobe bryant from years ago would have been -- would you have been so easily -- would you
have easily forgiven this man the way you do now?
>> I don't know. I think that know, you go through life's trials and tribulations to become a better person. At this point in life is to not sit back and pass judgment on people and hold that against them. You know what i mean? So, you are who are you. I'm going to respect that.
When did you reach that point? Because some would say kobe wasn't always that way.
>> I don't know, man. I can't sit there and say this's a particular day or month or
whatever. It's -- it takes time.
Yeah. Now, we all know what you had to go through with colorado. We aren't going to address that stuff. It's the past, what have you. But what did you learn from that
whole experience? Just having to go through what you went through?
>> God is great.
Is it that simple? Le the way you know it now, did you know it before that
incident took place?
>> He picks you up, carry your cross and you, then you know.
[ Applause ]
What was the hardest thing for you to deal with as that whole ordeal was gone on in your
mind? I remember you looking into the cameras, talking about, I'm innocent. Shoot, everybody in the nation learned about who john black was. He was the media relations guy for the lakers, and nobody has your back more than he does. That whole experience, was the toughest thing for you to go through?
>> Just keeping our family together.
Your wife. Your daughter.
>> Keeping our family together. And, us being able to come out of that, and to be together, to be united, having our second kid.
Second kid in may?
>> Yeah, in may. So, that's more than any championship or any, you know, ring, or whatever it is. That's more than anything.
How together are y'all now?
>> Oh, man, we got another one coming in may. Another girl. So -- I'm going to have two little princesses. It's cool, man.
How supportive has your wife been?
>> Oh, extremely supportive. She pushes me to continue to move forward and continue to be the best basketball player i can be out there on the floor. I come home some nights, i have 50 points or something like that, and we win the game, she comes back, saying, you know, you missed a free throw. Should have had 51. So, she constantly challenges me
to be better.
At that same press conference, when you talked about being innocent. I remember you holding hands, and the look in your eyes, it was almost you felt more pain for her than you did for you.
>> Oh, i don't worry about me.
Even at that moment?
>> I don't worry about me. Never crossed my mind.
Never crossed your mind. Why was that?
>> I wasn't worried about myself.
And what gets you to the point where you don't worry about yourself, under such
trying circumstances?
>> Well, you -- you want your daughter to grow up with a father, you want your wife to
have a husband there for her. You want them to grow up have a great house hold.
For myself, personally, I'm going that be okay. I know they need me. So, i was more worried for them than i was for me.
The interesting thing about that is, when you listen to phil, even yourself, players
that talk about you, the one thing that is the consensus about you, they talk your
willingness. You have to control things, and that might have been one of the
few times in your life that you might have not had any control. What was that like for you?
>> You just let the situation go.You just let it go. It is what it is. You let it go, put it in god's hands.
Stephen A. Smith, "quite frankly," I'm in the house with kobe bryant.
[Commercial]----------------------------------------
>> I always let lebron know all the time, dog, they love you right now. They love you right now, but please believe me. The first incident, they are waiting man. They are waiting, man. They are waiting, man. Just like, i mean, i hate to bring it up, but the other
situation, with kobe –
Kobe bryant.
>> Yes. All this time, he's the number one man, the perfect man for everybody, everybody's heart. He's number one man. Kobe bryant is who kobe bryant is, dog.
But these people want him to be the kobe bryant that they want him to be. And it ain't right. Kobe bryant is his own man. He only gets to live one time. People are killing this man about his image or whatever. The man made a mistake. Let's go on.
You hear that from allen iverson.
[ Applause ]
You hear that from allen. What does it mean to you right now, whether it's allen iverson,
lebron james, some of the things they said in "espn the magazine." All the love they showed you. The way they once looked up to M.J., They look at you that way.
W does that make you feel?
>> It feels great. It's all about your peers. You want your peers to respect
what you do. As a basketball player and a man. It means a lot to me.
Do you suspect there's anybody out there, a since carter, dwyane wade, who you
have got on the some things on the court, is it a situation where the cats think they can
mess with you, and you think you have to check them quickly?
>> I think the game itself is about competition. Right so, when you step out on
that floor, the person you play against, your opposition must feel that way. If they don't, i can smell it out pretty quickly.
And what do you do when you smell it out?
>> You go right at them and take their will away from them.
That's what you do. You take people's will. Just tell the truth that's what
you do, kobe.
>> When you play the game, that's what you have to do. That's what you try to do.
But you know, there are some players out there, the young players, who are tough
competition.
Some people sit there, you keep talking about kobe being the greatest player in the game
today -- y'all don't realize that kobe's trying to be arguably the greatest ever. You're response?
>> I got to get a couple more rings.
So are you going to?
>> You know what, i won't rest until we do. So -- I'm going to continue to work hard. We as a team, we're going to work hard as an organization, the same way to push and push
until we get back to that top.
My man.
[ Applause ]
Kobe bryant. That's it for tonight.

Lebron的44分仅仅是KOBE在上周对镇猛龙时所得分数的一半而已.在那之前,他已经是在NBA中很少见的了.KOBE让他自己成为了众星之星,但是他的天赋所给他带来的首先是谁是他的前一人?在他登上了这个舞台的同时,比较就同时产生.并且当他和沙克以他们自己的方式在洛山机夺得三连冠的时候,似乎也到了他的名字应该被记录在历史的时候..但是两年前的这条路充满荆棘,当他面对强奸案的时候,他的世界几乎坍塌了.
---"我对我自己所犯的错误(通奸)感到厌恶!"
显然,他将篮球场视为他的避难所.与沙克和菲尔间的矛盾,与广告商的矛盾.这个赛季,随着杰克迅重执湖人教鞭,他成为了一个真正的领导者.以他的81分为见证!
女士们先生们,你们亲眼见证了NBA历史上的第二高分!
,所以,KOBE应该以什么样的方式被我们记住呢?一个得分传奇?或者说是一位可以超越michael jordan的球员.这些天,什么都有可能发生.你了解什么?我现在并不是在浪费你们的时间去试图提出一些来描述也许是最糟糕的球员.女士们,先生们,站稳了,坐稳了(不会,就瞎翻了),放弃所有只除了,仅仅只有kobe bryant!
(掌声~~~~)
好的,好的,他听到了(口哨?嘘声??),我敢确定从现在开始你会习惯于那样了,你是怎么做到的,大男孩?
---我??(不会,不敢瞎翻,怕被口水淹死~~)
你知道的,上次,我们和科比聊了好多,但是,最后一件事,和猛龙的81分,关于这个你有什么看法?跟我说说.
---恩,好的.我们只是想赢得比赛.而且,在那种情况下,我们落后18,20分,我们需要的不是一个领袖,我们需要的带来激情,着正是我要做的.
现在,着听起来很好我也不否认.但是不同是,我观看了那场比赛.剩下最后3分钟的时候,你已经知道你们赢了.已经领先了14分,你打乱了他们的阵脚,这是你经常做的.你是什么时候知道你快得到80分的?
---恩,在我得了77分的时候还有球迷^^
(笑)
球迷沸腾了,我的对友都疯狂了,他们希望看到我得到更多,着正是我要做的
当你谈论81分时,显然是第二个WILT(张伯伦).我在想,先将表演放在一边不说,让我先说说我的感受.不是张伯伦的100分.乔丹的季候赛的61分,我想的是这个.你认为应排2,3,1吗?(不懂),你是怎么想的?
---我并没有想太多.我只是到那去比赛.要是作为球迷,对我来说更容易去评价michael做了什么,larry做了什么,magic做了什么.
但是在你比赛的时候我并没有讨论.当你知道你做到了以后,你赢得了比赛,回到家,然后回响一下你所做的所完成的会带来什么样的效应.
---你看看machael在季后赛都做了些什么,magic,larry,并把这些表现放在季后赛又是另外一件事.希望我们可以打进季后赛并且有好的表现.
没错,并不是打击你,但我认为着不会发生,vince carter说过.对于你的81分,我给你读读报道."唯一不好的一点，是对年轻人来说，他们看完这场比赛后，观念很容易发生偏差，他们会想‘噢，我将来也要做到，不管什么集体优先"vince carter 对于你的81分说的这些.当你听到像这样的评价时,尤其是来自于那些只知道扣篮的家伙时,你是怎么想的?
----我真的不去想它,我想如果人们看到了比赛,知道了解比赛是怎样的,知道我所做的只是让我们在比赛中反超的一种方式.结果是最后,我们赢了!
这是人们并不了解的一部分,但我想我了解.看,我问你问题,你的眼睛变的犀利,那表示了什么?我想起vince说下次什么时候说见他,着就是他跟我说的
(笑)
我说谎了?
---我只是试着去做可以带来动力的任何事,对我来说像个工具来提高球队打出最棒的篮球.我试者去做任何一件事.
你以前不会.你在推动比赛,顺便问一下,关于什么?
---我不是很确定.我认为这是身体上的比赛,他试图投篮,我去盖帽.受伤被吹犯规,他有一些,对这不满意,我们说了什么.
恩,我会考虑,对自己说,那么多人来看你的比赛,你觉得现在是做这些事的时候吗?每个人都在讨论lamar odom,着是个年轻的队伍,你是领导者.你认为那些人在你更强更努力后还会像以前一样来吗?
---我知道着赛季的事.lamar和我在赛季开始的时候讨论过.这就是为什么我们会意见不同.我说了一件事,我们的心态.我们要打败你.着就是我是如何人对待每场比赛的.我不会等着你去先发动,让我们跟你你们的节奏.我们要先发起进攻!
我在想湖人--是不是你是你们队伍中唯一一个有这种心态的人?
---我不这么认为.绝对不.不管你信不信,我们的对友他们正逐步提高并且很努力.
但是在努力和刺客之间还是有区别的.Allen iverson,他称你flat-out assassin
(笑)
着就是他说的
)笑)
着就是他说的,着确实是他说的.严肃点,你现在看待着只队伍--你认为以你们现在的实力你们这帮人可以走多远?你带领着,多远?
---这是个挺难判断的事.你要知道,我们所应用的这个系统把我们??然后产生化学效应.掌握整个比赛对于我们来说有些难,菲尔教会我们三角进攻.一旦我们掌握了,你就会看见进步.
为什么会用那么长的时间?
----着个进攻,每个人在同一时间都要在战术?里面.你不能只是机械式的跑位,去Stephen A.球,这个球,这是你的比赛,和post要隔离.着并不是我们要做的.所有的都要取决与理解.我们要防守,每一个队员都要作出判断.听起来很棒,但做起来很难.
尤其是当只有一个科比在队中,Stephen A. Smith.我和kobe呆在一个房间里,我们会谈论更多关于湖人的事,更多关于KOBE,记录一些会发生的.一会会回来.
---在事后的认识中,着很棒,因为给我带来了经验,知道其他的,更成熟,就像面容.就像一个broader知道了世界的样子.所以,我 的意思是,着帮助了我不少.当我开始接触篮球,我祖母寄给我所有的比赛.湖人,公牛,凯尔特人.他们教会我.我常常坐在家里,一遍有一遍的看着比赛.
你的性格是怎样塑造的?当人们谈论kobe bryant的时候,他们会说,他是在美国长大的吗?他应该拥有更直爽的性格.你的性格是怎样的?
---我是个直爽的人,我只是不会和我不认识的人那样而已.
那么你认为你自己很直爽?
---认识我的人,是的
你知道他们是怎么说你的吗?认识你的人说你是外向的人,他们会怎么形容你?
---Pretty about sarcastic dude(翻不好,放弃)
听着,我也这么认为,你是高中生,30分,12个篮板.你去做所有的事.我知道着一切,但是,你决定去成为专业篮球手,为什么?因为你想duke,如果你决定上大学的话.为什么你会决定去成为专业篮球手?
---我有机会去挑战一些世界上最好的篮球运动员,这个决定,着就是我做出这个决定的原因.每晚我都可以去挑战他们,我学习那些更高的水平,那些是我在大学都可以学到的,你去挑战最好的.所以我会说,你知道什么?什么时候我准备好了,我不知道,但是一旦我进入着,我就准备从那些最优秀的球星那学点什么,并且,有一天我会准备就绪.
但是你是什么时候作出哪个决定的?准备好了吗>NBA我来了,什么时候做的决定?
---恩,我的意思是,你必须-你必须在你有打算的时候作出决定.我并不是盲目的作出决定而不知道我要在哪结束,一旦我觉得在哪舒服我就会去哪.
你说的似乎很有趣.黄蜂队以第13顺位挑中了你.你知道你会去洛山机吗?你预期到你会在黄蜂吗?
---事实上,在我有这个想法时,你要电话联系.我和组织的代表有过交涉,同时,他们说,你们打算交换我,因为他们并不需要我,我说,
他们不需要你,所以把你和divac作了交换?
---我只有17岁,只有17岁,我知道了这个夏天我要做些什么.
做什么?
---训练自己的冲撞,这告诉我,你什么都做不了,我们不需要你?
但是你是从哪知道的,我们知道你的性格,我没告诉y'all关于他的眼睛和他的一切,好的好的,我会记得y'all,他是哪来的?感觉是,在意大利长大的,我们没去过意大利,像去哈来姆,纽约,芝加歌南部.你在一个舒服的环境下.你眼中的火花,你腹腔的火花,通常是感觉不到的,你是从哪获得的?然后呢?
---我不知道是从哪来的.在意大利长大,我常常听到一些让我疯狂的事.所有的孩子会说,你知道什么,你在这是个优秀的篮球手.一旦你回到美国,你不会像现在这样.
他们告诉你这些?
---他们告诉我他们更高,更快,那些只会让我疯狂
所以,然后呢?你回到美国,你的任务就是去证明.并且你打败了在高中的所有人.你成为职业.犹他人,西部会议,半决赛,空气球
---你记得那些?
是的
---我确定你记得.要面对
等一等,相信我,我是你着一边的.你投了个空气球,你在终场前投了两个空气球.每个人坐在那骂你.着就是我知道的. Del harris 开始比赛仅仅只有一赛季6场.为什么一个新手会在那个位置?尤其是当出现摩擦的时候,因为你想要更多的上场时间,而且你认为你应获得.为什么一开始会是buter在那个位置?当你投了那个空气球的时候,当球落到地板上,你在想什么?
---好的,我投了第一个,感觉还不错,是的,好象有些短,我只是在说,damn(不翻了吧)我会投第二个.下一个,damn,我要投再一个.我有投了一个,damn,好的,我适应了,我要再投俩.
好的,好的,好的,不好意思,有点跑题.但是那个空气球是怎么会感觉好的?我想知道.

---他依旧没让我产生什么感觉.这有两个年轻人,两个比赛中最好的选手,他们会被记录在历史因为在以往的比赛中他们是最好的,一起.
要好过魔术师?
---他们会的.他们会比我们赢得更多的总冠军,比迈克和斯考特更出色.他们会赢得更多的总冠军.但是他们能拥有这些对于我来说似乎很有趣,所以没有人在锁着的房间里让他们坐下,说,看,伙计,我尝试去告诉他们,你最好一个一个离开,着都比你们失去对方要强.
你听说了一些事像是来自魔术师约汉勋,你是怎么想的?
---显然你要想想会发生什么.在我小的时候他是我的偶像.他的意见对我来说以为很多.但是在同时,情况是他们是什么.你试图从他们那得到提高.沙克转会到迈阿密,我忠心祝福他一切都好.然后我们在这里,尝试一个战术体系来回到颠峰,你要从中学到什么.
这很好.我支持你前进,在下一个小时或者其他,但是我想知道,因为,很严肃的说,因为,我想了解一件事--我想给你个平台去真正的谈论为什么?为什么在你的预想里??(Why would couldn't that work out in your estimation)原因是什么?
___你知道些什么?我只能说我自己的看法.就个人而言,和他在一起打球,着非常简单,和他一起比赛我没有什么可祈祷的,有很多人不明白当我成为一名自由球员的时候,我寻找其他的球队,那些我想去的地方,在那可以接受挑战.当那些必要的程序来临的时候,他们通知我他们将沙克交易走了.这就意味着他们不会将我送到其他任何的地方,无论情况有多糟.当他和湖人作交易的时候我没有和他联系.我只是将自己置身事外.而且,就像我说的,他在南部.
芝加歌是那些球队之一吗?
---我有打算去芝加歌.
在你获得长达七年的合同之前,当你成为自由球员的时候你有打算去芝加歌.你有可能--你去了乔丹的地盘,你去塑造一个kobe bryant.
----恩,芝加哥或者是快船.快船对我来说更简单些.
我们都知道快船.抱歉我没办法想象你在快船的样子.
----那个时候着一切都很严肃.我喜欢他们说的.我喜欢他们的球员.我认识他们有些球员很久了.芝加哥,不像那认识那么多人.他们认为我在等待湖人,但是我是在寻找其他的球队.
在来谈谈沙克,我知道你说过你想要新的挑战,但是那似乎不像是一整支篮球队,怨恨是个太强的字眼,但是很清楚的,着有着不喜欢,它确实出现了,你们对对方都有.在一起得到三连冠的中间在哪产生这些的?而且也许要承认这是NBA历史上最有动力的争执?
---你知道,伙计,我从来就没有讨厌他.我真的没有.对我来说,这些都是挑战.我有时回想,说,我想要另一个挑战吗?我队友说,好的,他是唯一不错的因为他和沙克一起打球.我和沙克一起打球,我拥有了三枚戒指.或者,如果你相信沙克,你永远不会有其他的头衔.你从你队友那听到这些.我不喜欢这些,所以,我坐下来好好想想,这是我想要的挑战吗?你要知道,这对我来说是个很长的过程.
Kobe bryant 被记录下来,他说,我没有讨厌沙克,但是沙克从没有表达什么,在这一点上他留给每个人的是无穷的想象.当然不是现在.他没有特别喜欢你.从哪产生这些的?我很确定你问过其他人.
---我不知道.我认为如果他选择去回答是他的事.就我个人而言,我没有任何问题.
听着,魔术师约汉逊曾坐在你现在坐的椅子上,沙克也坐过,让我来告诉你沙克都说了些什么.
---我从不抱怨什么.他只是说了什么,我再说回去.有人要攻击你,你还以颜色.这没那么严重.没有任何个人色彩.我也有事业,要小心照料.我祝福他,我祝福每个人.
你从沙克那听到那些,你的想法是什么?
---也许,我听他说过很多次,我是他离开洛杉机的原因之一.那没什么关系.
对他的离开负什么责任?I'm asking for as somebody that works for the organization that is familiar with what goes on within the organization. 为什么沙克会去热队?
---我觉得这个问题你应该问Buss先生.他已经回答过很多次了,这是个商业的决定.无论他的目的是什么,不知道,着不是我的工作,我不涉及.
现在,我重新问另一个问题.我说了沙克.这有个报道说你曾经多ESPN说了 些不好的,在2004赛季前,我认为,你说他很胖而且没有那么的富有攻击性了.
----呃
你知道,我的意思是,像你说的,你不讨厌他,但那天你可不喜欢他.
----不,但那有关与我的工作.就我个人而言不是那样的.我经常跟沙克说,在训练中,我曾经对他说,伙计,你要时刻准备了,他听进去了吗?可能没有.但是我在队里的任务是确定我们准备就绪.
那是你后来的工作?有人看见一个像他的人会很怕说像那样的话.
---不,我的意思是,那是我角色的一部分.那是我对他要试着做的.但是,可能方式错了,让他有些不高兴.
你对你做的高兴吗?
---高兴做什么?
That you would be on guys if it was shaq or anybody else.当你说成为球队老大或着说像那样的人.你会高兴你那样对待他吗?也许那不是报道中说.
---有些我能做的,去公开的说.我认为要那样,有点不成熟的做法.直到一切公布于众,说同样的事情,但是没有带到聚光灯下,所以那成为了一个大新闻.我认为我们都有责任.
当你在几个星期后再回想,我想是1月16号,他走到你面前,在斯坦普斯中心.你们有个活动是马丁路德金纪念日.他和你握了手,恩,基本上说,你们休战了.在这之前,他的沉默是如此的引人注目以至于报道说每个人都察觉到了不和.你是这样看待它的吗?
---不.
你是怎样看待他的?
---我了解他.我很了解他.
告诉我们你所了解的?
---我感觉像公众要做一些事,媒体要报道.他只是那样打球,但是他,你告诉他,你问他关于我作为一个篮球运动员
从没有人问你的篮球水准,没人那么笨.
---这就是为什么我们的关系-这就是把我们放在一起来比赛并且赢得总冠军.Him coming up, on mlk's birthday, that's big for us the city of los angeles, and big for our youth as a whole.
为什么?
