OBSESSION | Kobe Bryant Story [Motivational 2022 Documentary]

since I was I don't remember when I started watching the game, I studied the game and it never changed what the conversation was like with your wife to say listen this is the schedule because look you know some businessmen come home at night and late oh my gosh my wife is upset because I got home at 11:30. oh my god what a sacrifice I'm making you know this life is, you know, I don't know if I can do this, I'm sure you're on the road nine months a year, if you play especially in the Olympics, you won two gold medals, so you do it in the off-season and you're trying to get that part going and training to do your camps, what's the conversation? life with your wife and kids to say listen, this is what I'm doing, how did that conversation with the kids go well?

It's different, so the communication with our kids is you know dad is working hard, this is the level of attention to detail that you have to have in everything you do, so it's an example. The same goes for my wife. My wife is a housewife. It is the most difficult job. Man, so she works really hard at it. In detail with that they are also examples for our children and then for my wife, you know, she is as competitive as I am, she says, listen, man, if you are going to be here training eight hours a day, if you are going to spend nine months After a year away from your family you better win the championship.

What are we doing this for? What are we doing? What are we doing? I love it, you know, but it's a balancing act and that's the important thing: understanding that we have to have so much energy because like Natalia and Gianna when they were babies, especially Natalia because he was in his best years and I'm going to practice and I train and that's it. You know, I play and I come home and it hurts and I would be tired and she wants to go swimming. She wants me to take her to the park. She wants to just jump on my back or whatever the case may be.

You can't say I'm too tired. I'm going to go to bed. That's not fair, she doesn't know what the hell is going on, does she? And if this were a game, you'd suck it up and play. I play with the flu. I play with a 102 degree fever, man, you can't do that. so powerful that you have to be in the man, that's thick, what's the least amount of dream that you play in, there is no dream, you play, it's your dream, it's like you know, um, kids, Natalia had a certain situation health, what do you have and you?

You stay up all night and then you have to go out and perform because the fans don't know that your teammates don't know and they don't care and they shouldn't. That you've been up all night. You have to act right, so you just have to do it. You just gotta go to work, man, it's disrespectful and I think one of the things that some of you follow or don't follow basketball that you and Mike had in common is that you didn't say, "I'm taking eight games off this year." to try to stay healthy, you know, for you it's a comic, I like to do that, what the hell is that man?

I don't know what that is, that's crazy, seriously, it's crazy, like you know you have a lot of people playing hardball. -I made money to come watch you perform a form, a form, it's your job to be in shape, it's your job to be strong enough to perform at that level every night. I don't deal with people who don't commit to that level, but then act like they do. I wasn't invited to parties or, you know, friendly gatherings on the weekends, they're on Fridays and Saturdays. I would go to my rec room with my basketball and basically fall asleep and I think that was the best.

Which could happen to me sometime because during those lonely hours in the recreation room I discovered hunger, motivation and the desire to be the best basketball player I could be. We are not on this stage just because of the talent or ability we have. We're here at 4 a.m. We are here for the two or five days We are here because we had a dream and we didn't let anything get in our way, if something tried to take us down, we used it to make ourselves stronger we were never satisfied we never finished we will never retire my English teacher from the high school, Mr.

Fisk, had this beautiful quote, rest at the end, not in the middle, and I took it to heart. My next dream is to one day be honored for inspiring. the next generation of athletes will have a dream sacrifice for it and will never rest in the foreign environment right now, much of the world is in shock and disbelief trying to process what has happened today and make some sense of this gigantic loss. This is what we know now and although several hours have passed, it is still shocking to say the words that Kobe Bryant, the legendary NBA star, is dead tonight.

Life is short and fragile and we don't know how many birthdays we have, so let's just celebrate. life and if you haven't told someone you love them, do it now, tell people you love them. Kobe didn't leave anything in the tank, he left everything on the ground, maybe people have been advised that Kobe and I are very close friends, but we were very close friends recovery was my dear friend he was like a little brother this boy had a passion like you would never know it's something amazing about passion if you love something if you have a strong passion for something you would go to extremes to try to understand or try to achieve it no matter where he saw me it was a challenge and I admired him because his passion, you rarely see someone who seeks and tries to improve every day in the 20 years that have passed and feels that they have achieved everything they set out to do.

He tries to achieve it, but when you realize that the goal he initially set, to become the greatest of all time, was very fickle and we realized that the most important thing in life is how your career progresses and touches those around you. how it carries over to the next generation, he realized that's what makes the truth foreign
