VIDEO: Kobe Bryant Revealed The Lowest Moment And Biggest Breakthrough In His Career In A Resurfaced Video
Though Kobe Bryant ended his NBA career on a high note, his tragic death has turned his name into a cherished memory for basketball fans worldwide. Despite his passing, Bryant’s remarkable achievements continue to spark discussions among fans and analysts.
Recently, a resurfaced video of Bryant has caught the attention of fans. In an appearance on “All The Smoke Production,” Bryant opened up about the most challenging moments of his career. During the appearance, he revealed his lowest point in his NBA career.
“Losing to the Celtics in 08’ was tough. But before that, not playing; if I knew this sh*t was going to be like this, I would’ve gone to school,” he said.
In addition to discussing his struggles, Bryant also shared what he considered the biggest breakthrough in his basketball career. The former NBA star recalled a pivotal moment before his NBA career when his opportunity to shine finally arrived.
“During the lockout season, when the season started, Rick Fox had plantar fasciitis on both feet. He wanted to make that person get hurt. And so then he had no choice but to start me, but start me at small forward,” he added.
Magic Johnson Argues Kobe Bryant Deserves GOAT Debate Inclusion
Kobe Bryant’s two-decade-long career in the NBA is stellar enough to catch anyone’s attention. Despite his remarkable achievements, Bryant’s name doesn’t often appear in the GOAT debate, which tends to focus more on players like Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. However, NBA legend Magic Johnson believes that Bryant deserves to be part of that conversation.
In a recent interview with NH ExperienceTV, Johnson passionately argued that Kobe Bryant’s impact on basketball, both in the NBA and globally, warrants his inclusion in the GOAT discussion.
“Kobe belongs in this conversation even today. Kareem and Kobe both wore purple and gold, so I think about what Bryant meant to global basketball,” Johnson said.
Before retiring, Bryant won five NBA championships and earned two Finals MVP awards.
