3
00:00:28,625 --> 00:00:31,792
man: One of the most terrifying
dreams for me
4
00:00:31,792 --> 00:00:35,582
was a dream of me being
on a basketball court,
5
00:00:35,582 --> 00:00:40,125
stadium's full, and I'm
attacking the basket,
6
00:00:40,125 --> 00:00:43,250
and I can't get off
the ground.
7
00:00:43,250 --> 00:00:45,792
I can't jump.
Like, I'm stuck.
8
00:00:45,792 --> 00:00:47,332
Like, I'm cemented
9
00:00:47,332 --> 00:00:49,709
to the floor.
10
00:00:49,709 --> 00:00:53,457
I was conscious of the fact
that I was dreaming.
11
00:00:53,457 --> 00:00:57,290
And so now, I'm trying
to control my dream.
12
00:00:57,290 --> 00:00:58,332
"You can jump
through it,
13
00:00:58,332 --> 00:00:59,207
"you can push
through it.
14
00:00:59,207 --> 00:01:04,417
"You can get to
that basket."
15
00:01:06,332 --> 00:01:10,667
And no matter how hard I tried,
my legs were too heavy.
16
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,792
Can't jump.
17
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,875
[crowd cheering]
18
00:01:45,875 --> 00:01:46,875
sports announcer:
A year that's given us
19
00:01:46,875 --> 00:01:48,125
more than a share
of disappointment
20
00:01:48,125 --> 00:01:51,375
has also provided us
with numerous thrills,
21
00:01:51,375 --> 00:01:54,207
and Laker fans are looking
for more here tonight
22
00:01:54,207 --> 00:01:57,625
with three games remaining
and destiny in the Laker hands
23
00:01:57,625 --> 00:02:00,875
to get back into the playoffs
where they usually do well.
24
00:02:00,875 --> 00:02:04,792
stadium announcer:
Are you ready?!
25
00:02:06,582 --> 00:02:09,000
Bryant: Our warm-ups are
always just kind of
26
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,207
doing the mental check
of my body.
27
00:02:10,207 --> 00:02:11,250
Like, what's tight?
28
00:02:11,250 --> 00:02:14,332
What's pulling on me?
What's not pulling on me?
29
00:02:14,332 --> 00:02:15,125
How do I loosen it up?
How to get things going.
30
00:02:15,125 --> 00:02:20,457
And, um, my body
felt...
31
00:02:20,457 --> 00:02:21,709
a little stiff.
32
00:02:21,709 --> 00:02:22,625
announcer: Kobe's got four
seconds on the shot clock.
33
00:02:22,625 --> 00:02:26,750
He spins, turns,
fall away...short.
34
00:02:26,750 --> 00:02:29,125
Taken by Jarrett Jack.
35
00:02:30,250 --> 00:02:31,667
Bryant: And I remember getting
loosed up, getting going,
36
00:02:31,667 --> 00:02:33,625
and then finally, the game,
kinda working myself
37
00:02:33,625 --> 00:02:36,750
into a lather, and, um...
38
00:02:36,750 --> 00:02:39,250
my body felt good.
39
00:02:44,165 --> 00:02:45,582
announcer: Here he comes.
40
00:02:49,750 --> 00:02:53,000
Around the back, spinning,
shooting, scoring!
41
00:02:55,207 --> 00:02:57,875
I had never worked so much
in my entire career
42
00:02:57,875 --> 00:02:59,417
in terms of preparation
43
00:02:59,417 --> 00:03:03,000
and getting my body
physically ready,
44
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,792
night in and night out,
45
00:03:04,792 --> 00:03:06,500
and I'd been playing some
of my best basketball.
46
00:03:06,500 --> 00:03:08,667
announcer: Bryant attacking
base line, and he runs into
47
00:03:08,667 --> 00:03:11,625
a stone wall of Festus Ezeli,
and he's holding his left knee.
48
00:03:11,625 --> 00:03:15,250
Battling through,
trying to make the playoffs,
49
00:03:15,250 --> 00:03:16,959
playing all these minutes.
50
00:03:16,959 --> 00:03:19,290
As he has it, spin it,
in trouble.
51
00:03:19,290 --> 00:03:20,040
Oh, he's limping,
he's hurting.
52
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,082
Kobe's hurting.
53
00:03:22,082 --> 00:03:25,875
These minutes might be just
absolutely adding up.
54
00:03:25,875 --> 00:03:27,625
announcer 2: Oh, there's no
question they're adding up.
55
00:03:27,625 --> 00:03:28,792
No question.
56
00:03:28,792 --> 00:03:31,040
Bryant: What I always try to do
through injuries is
57
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,000
not think about it
because
58
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,875
when the game itself is
more significant
59
00:03:34,875 --> 00:03:37,165
than the injury,
60
00:03:37,165 --> 00:03:38,417
you don't feel
the injury.
61
00:03:38,417 --> 00:03:40,792
The injury won't get
in the way because
62
00:03:40,792 --> 00:03:42,207
it's not important
to you.
63
00:03:42,207 --> 00:03:44,834
announcer: Kobe, 3...yes!
64
00:03:46,375 --> 00:03:48,457
Big one, Bryant,
from outside.
65
00:03:48,457 --> 00:03:50,165
107, 104.
66
00:03:50,165 --> 00:03:51,834
Three-point game,
five minutes left.
67
00:03:51,834 --> 00:03:55,875
Kobe, guarded by the rookie,
Harrison Barnes,
68
00:03:55,875 --> 00:03:57,125
Kobe, one-one-one,
isolated.
69
00:03:57,125 --> 00:03:58,040
For the tie...
70
00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,917
he's got it!
71
00:03:59,917 --> 00:04:01,417
It's 107, all.
72
00:04:01,417 --> 00:04:04,500
The Mamba is looking
like the Mamba.
73
00:04:10,542 --> 00:04:13,457
[crowd chanting]
74
00:04:13,457 --> 00:04:16,542
Bryant again going
to work, falls down.
75
00:04:16,542 --> 00:04:18,750
Again, he's struggling.
76
00:04:22,375 --> 00:04:24,542
He's gonna stay down there
for a bit.
77
00:04:24,542 --> 00:04:25,125
As soon as I need
to move,
78
00:04:25,125 --> 00:04:26,500
[snaps]
I knew it.
79
00:04:27,582 --> 00:04:29,709
announcer: I mean,
that's the Achilles.
80
00:04:29,709 --> 00:04:30,332
I shouldn't say that.
81
00:04:30,332 --> 00:04:33,082
That's a foot injury.
82
00:04:33,082 --> 00:04:34,750
[buzzer]
83
00:04:36,709 --> 00:04:37,582
It feels like the
shock absorbers
84
00:04:37,582 --> 00:04:42,000
in the back of your foot
are just gone,
85
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:42,750
just nothing there.
86
00:04:42,750 --> 00:04:44,375
So when you walk,
it's like...
87
00:04:44,375 --> 00:04:47,290
it feels like your
calf muscle
88
00:04:47,290 --> 00:04:50,290
is touching
the floor.
89
00:04:50,290 --> 00:04:51,375
I could feel it
rolling up the back
90
00:04:51,375 --> 00:04:55,457
of my calf as if it
was just kind of
91
00:04:55,457 --> 00:04:57,875
slipping up further
and further.
92
00:04:59,417 --> 00:05:01,709
I remember feeling
the silence.
93
00:05:01,709 --> 00:05:02,875
I remember feeling
the fear.
94
00:05:02,875 --> 00:05:07,541
Thirty-five years old,
17, 18 years in the league.
95
00:05:07,541 --> 00:05:10,040
I'm like, "This could be
a wrap."
96
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,416
And that's what the
silence was.
97
00:05:12,416 --> 00:05:13,416
It was like,
98
00:05:13,416 --> 00:05:16,040
"This could really be
a wrap for you."
99
00:05:20,834 --> 00:05:23,542
announcer: He could barely
make it to the free-throw line.
100
00:05:23,542 --> 00:05:26,457
Bryant tonight
with 32 points,
101
00:05:26,457 --> 00:05:27,250
five rebounds,
four assists,
102
00:05:27,250 --> 00:05:29,250
and he is hurting.
103
00:05:29,250 --> 00:05:31,457
But the Lakers
down by two,
104
00:05:31,457 --> 00:05:32,750
and they want him
and need him
105
00:05:32,750 --> 00:05:34,125
at the free-throw
line.
106
00:05:34,125 --> 00:05:35,834
[net swishes]
107
00:05:35,834 --> 00:05:36,750
Got it.
108
00:05:36,750 --> 00:05:37,667
[crowd cheers]
109
00:05:49,625 --> 00:05:51,165
[dribbling ball]
110
00:05:54,165 --> 00:05:56,290
[ball bounces]
111
00:05:56,290 --> 00:05:58,500
So Kobe Bryant
cannot continue.
112
00:05:58,500 --> 00:05:59,834
[buzzer]
113
00:06:00,959 --> 00:06:04,165
stadium announcer:
Metta World Peace
replacing Kobe Bryant
114
00:06:04,165 --> 00:06:04,834
announcer: And the crowd...
115
00:06:04,834 --> 00:06:07,666
[crowd cheering, applause]
116
00:06:07,666 --> 00:06:10,458
the ovation, and I would
assume he'd go
117
00:06:10,458 --> 00:06:13,458
straight to the locker room.
118
00:06:17,290 --> 00:06:18,834
Bryant: My family walks in.
119
00:06:18,834 --> 00:06:20,082
It's Vanessa and
our daughters,
120
00:06:20,082 --> 00:06:21,792
and, um,
121
00:06:21,792 --> 00:06:25,417
you know, I'm already--
you know, I've been crying.
122
00:06:25,417 --> 00:06:27,542
and, um...
123
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,207
well, I had tears
in my eyes.
124
00:06:31,207 --> 00:06:33,125
I don't think I was
crying yet.
125
00:06:35,207 --> 00:06:37,500
I was more upset.
126
00:06:37,500 --> 00:06:39,792
Like, this could be
the end.
127
00:06:41,917 --> 00:06:44,000
In a locker room,
on the court,
128
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,542
around my teammates,
129
00:06:45,542 --> 00:06:48,750
I've always tried
to be very strong
130
00:06:50,834 --> 00:06:53,375
and be invincible.
131
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,000
Not be Clark Kent,
but be Superman.
132
00:06:59,082 --> 00:07:01,208
And then your family
comes in,
133
00:07:01,208 --> 00:07:05,040
and now that
is home.
134
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,875
That's where you
can be you.
135
00:07:07,875 --> 00:07:12,040
And, um, I just
let it go.
136
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,083
I mean, I couldn't
hold onto it anymore,
137
00:07:15,083 --> 00:07:16,582
you know?
138
00:07:19,250 --> 00:07:21,040
And you don't,
you know--
139
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,834
Looking at my daughters'
faces, I mean,
140
00:07:23,834 --> 00:07:27,667
they were genuinely
afraid, right,
141
00:07:27,667 --> 00:07:29,792
because they had never--
they could feel something,
142
00:07:29,792 --> 00:07:30,792
they could feel
the tension,
143
00:07:30,792 --> 00:07:32,834
but they didn't really
know exactly why.
144
00:07:32,834 --> 00:07:35,375
And as a parent,
the first thing
145
00:07:35,375 --> 00:07:36,625
that comes to your mind when
you see your kids afraid
146
00:07:36,625 --> 00:07:38,792
is you want them
to not be afraid.
147
00:07:38,792 --> 00:07:39,542
Right? You wanna
give them strength.
148
00:07:39,542 --> 00:07:40,457
You wanna give
them courage.
149
00:07:40,457 --> 00:07:43,082
You wanna reassure
them.
150
00:07:43,082 --> 00:07:43,625
And the only way
I could reassure them
151
00:07:43,625 --> 00:07:46,207
is by telling them,
152
00:07:46,207 --> 00:07:47,667
"Hey, Daddy's okay,"
you know?
153
00:07:47,667 --> 00:07:48,750
"It's going to be
all right.
154
00:07:48,750 --> 00:07:50,625
"It's a little setback,
but we'll be fine."
155
00:07:50,625 --> 00:07:52,375
Right?
156
00:07:52,375 --> 00:07:54,375
"This is what we
talk about all the time.
157
00:07:54,375 --> 00:07:57,542
"You know, you have a bump
in the road, you fall,
158
00:07:57,542 --> 00:07:59,457
"you get back up, and you
go after it again.
159
00:07:59,457 --> 00:08:02,834
"Right? That's what we do."
160
00:08:02,834 --> 00:08:08,165
And so, even at the time
I didn't believe it myself,
161
00:08:08,165 --> 00:08:09,125
I felt like it was important
to say that to them
162
00:08:09,125 --> 00:08:12,000
because I felt they
needed to hear that.
163
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,416
And as a parent, you can't just
talk the talk,
164
00:08:14,416 --> 00:08:15,290
you gotta walk the walk,
165
00:08:15,290 --> 00:08:20,750
and you gotta be brave,
166
00:08:22,959 --> 00:08:24,834
and, uh,
167
00:08:24,834 --> 00:08:27,250
in these types of situations,
if not for yourself,
168
00:08:27,250 --> 00:08:31,040
then for your kids.
169
00:08:43,165 --> 00:08:45,082
reporter: Kobe, are you
convinced that--
170
00:08:45,082 --> 00:08:46,709
They told us probable
torn Achilles,
171
00:08:46,709 --> 00:08:48,207
they're gonna do
an MRI.
172
00:08:48,207 --> 00:08:49,165
Are you pretty convinced
that's what it is?
173
00:08:49,165 --> 00:08:51,375
Yeah.
174
00:08:51,375 --> 00:08:53,250
reporter 2: If anyone's
gonna get through this,
175
00:08:53,250 --> 00:08:54,667
it's probably you, right?
176
00:08:54,667 --> 00:08:57,332
[subdued laughter]
177
00:08:57,332 --> 00:08:59,917
Bryant: [sighing]
Oh, man. Shit.
178
00:08:59,917 --> 00:09:02,166
reporter 3: You've had tons
of personal and
179
00:09:02,166 --> 00:09:04,082
professional challenges
in your career.
180
00:09:04,082 --> 00:09:04,917
Is this at the
top of the list?
181
00:09:06,792 --> 00:09:09,792
Yeah, you know,
um,
182
00:09:09,792 --> 00:09:12,958
but it's fueling me,
it's fueling me.
183
00:09:12,958 --> 00:09:13,792
I can feel it
already.
184
00:09:13,792 --> 00:09:16,291
You know, I can
feel it already.
185
00:09:16,291 --> 00:09:18,291
It's just,
you know,
186
00:09:18,291 --> 00:09:20,332
players at this stage
of their career,
187
00:09:20,332 --> 00:09:22,041
you know, they pop
an Achilles and,
188
00:09:22,041 --> 00:09:24,125
you know, the pundits say
they never come back the same.
189
00:09:24,125 --> 00:09:26,166
So, I can hear it
already,
190
00:09:26,166 --> 00:09:29,082
and it's pissing me
off right now
191
00:09:29,082 --> 00:09:30,750
just thinking about it
right now, so...
192
00:09:30,750 --> 00:09:31,582
reporter 4: So, this isn't
the last game
193
00:09:31,582 --> 00:09:33,875
that we'll see
you play.
194
00:09:34,250 --> 00:09:36,290
Really?
195
00:09:36,290 --> 00:09:37,375
I'm just asking.
196
00:09:37,375 --> 00:09:38,332
Well, no, I'm not
trying to be rude.
197
00:09:38,332 --> 00:09:39,250
Really?
198
00:09:39,250 --> 00:09:40,125
I'm sorry.
199
00:09:40,125 --> 00:09:41,375
I'm just trying--
200
00:09:41,375 --> 00:09:42,165
It's appropriate that you ask
that question from down there.
201
00:09:42,165 --> 00:09:43,792
[laughter]
202
00:10:01,667 --> 00:10:04,750
Bryant: This injury
was Mount Everest
for me, personally,
203
00:10:04,750 --> 00:10:07,332
because I knew what the long
road was gonna be.
204
00:10:07,332 --> 00:10:11,166
So at that point,
you have to make a decision.
205
00:10:11,166 --> 00:10:13,291
You have to make
a choice.
206
00:10:37,792 --> 00:10:39,207
Doctor: Oh, it looks
beautiful.
207
00:10:39,207 --> 00:10:42,125
It goes up there,
it goes down below.
208
00:10:42,125 --> 00:10:44,375
Doctor 2: Can I have
a suture-removal?
209
00:10:46,917 --> 00:10:49,207
Doctor: It's fabulous.
No swelling, huh?
210
00:10:49,207 --> 00:10:50,582
Doctor 2: Nice tension
in it.
211
00:10:50,582 --> 00:10:51,500
Doctor: Yeah,
great tension.
212
00:10:51,500 --> 00:10:53,917
Kobe, the tension
is just perfect.
213
00:10:53,917 --> 00:10:54,667
Bryant: It is?
214
00:10:54,667 --> 00:10:55,290
Oh, yeah.
215
00:10:55,290 --> 00:10:56,417
Doctor 2:
Beautiful.
216
00:10:56,417 --> 00:10:57,917
Doctor:
Yeah, it's beautiful.
217
00:11:00,041 --> 00:11:03,207
Doctor 2: Can you feel me
touching you here?
218
00:11:03,207 --> 00:11:03,792
Yeah.
219
00:11:03,792 --> 00:11:06,207
That's sural nerve.
220
00:11:06,207 --> 00:11:06,582
Doctor: Yeah.
221
00:11:06,582 --> 00:11:08,457
Yeah.
222
00:11:10,417 --> 00:11:11,291
Even his healing--
223
00:11:11,291 --> 00:11:15,582
He's got good healing
capabilities.
224
00:11:16,582 --> 00:11:20,250
[talking indistinctly]
225
00:11:20,250 --> 00:11:22,542
He's got this
medial nerve.
226
00:11:25,542 --> 00:11:27,041
Doctor 2: This looks
absolutely beautiful.
227
00:11:27,041 --> 00:11:27,917
Doctor: Yeah.
228
00:11:27,917 --> 00:11:29,417
Beautiful.
229
00:11:29,417 --> 00:11:31,958
Doctor 2: If you could
just hold that.
230
00:11:39,250 --> 00:11:41,040
Okay, and then that,
just open up the Kling.
231
00:11:49,625 --> 00:11:51,667
Point your whole foot up
towards the ceiling.
232
00:11:52,709 --> 00:11:53,457
That's it.
233
00:11:53,457 --> 00:11:54,332
And relax.
234
00:11:54,332 --> 00:11:55,457
Up.
235
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:57,082
Good.
236
00:11:57,082 --> 00:11:58,125
Looks pretty
good.
237
00:11:58,125 --> 00:11:59,792
Push it up.
238
00:11:59,792 --> 00:12:01,207
Just hold it
up there.
239
00:12:01,207 --> 00:12:02,667
Hold it up,
hold it up,
hold it up.
240
00:12:02,667 --> 00:12:03,625
Go ahead and
move your finger.
241
00:12:03,625 --> 00:12:05,291
Let him hold
it himself.
242
00:12:05,291 --> 00:12:06,708
And let
it relax.
243
00:12:06,708 --> 00:12:07,750
Doctor: Wow.
244
00:12:07,750 --> 00:12:09,792
Bryant: Shut these naysayers
up once and for all.
245
00:12:09,792 --> 00:12:11,457
[laughter]
246
00:12:20,875 --> 00:12:22,708
announcer: Bryant puts it
on the floor,
247
00:12:22,708 --> 00:12:24,375
gets inside...oh!
248
00:12:24,375 --> 00:12:27,291
[indistinct commentary]
249
00:12:27,708 --> 00:12:29,833
Jellybean!
250
00:12:29,833 --> 00:12:31,291
He made like
Darryl Dawkins.
251
00:12:31,291 --> 00:12:32,875
Bryant arms the
building-shaker.
252
00:12:32,875 --> 00:12:35,125
Look at this,
way up there.
253
00:12:35,125 --> 00:12:36,375
He slams it down.
254
00:12:36,375 --> 00:12:38,125
Look at his body,
how high he is
in the air.
255
00:12:38,125 --> 00:12:39,250
That's incredible.
256
00:12:39,250 --> 00:12:40,457
Bryant: He used to be
really sore from playing.
257
00:12:40,457 --> 00:12:41,709
You know?
258
00:12:41,709 --> 00:12:46,290
So, he would have his kids
walk on his back,
259
00:12:46,290 --> 00:12:47,917
which I thought was
really fun,
260
00:12:47,917 --> 00:12:49,250
standing on your
father's back
261
00:12:49,250 --> 00:12:52,457
and you're cracking his back
as you're walking on top of him.
262
00:12:52,457 --> 00:12:56,000
I always thought that
was pretty, pretty cool.
263
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,250
I used to walk on his
hamstrings and stuff.
264
00:13:07,082 --> 00:13:09,582
He's a ball-handling guard
at six-ten
265
00:13:09,582 --> 00:13:11,542
that can shoot
the long ball.
266
00:13:11,542 --> 00:13:14,625
And he had all
the skills.
267
00:13:14,625 --> 00:13:16,291
He had all
the skills.
268
00:13:18,417 --> 00:13:19,750
Fans loved him.
269
00:13:19,750 --> 00:13:21,125
He could do virtually
anything.
270
00:13:27,792 --> 00:13:30,207
[announcer speaking in
Italian]
271
00:13:36,750 --> 00:13:38,250
Bryant: So, he played in
the NBA for eight years,
272
00:13:38,250 --> 00:13:42,582
and decided if he wanted to
further his career
273
00:13:42,582 --> 00:13:44,667
and play the way
he wanted to play,
274
00:13:44,667 --> 00:13:47,792
he should make the transition
to play overseas and play in
Italy.
275
00:13:47,792 --> 00:13:49,207
So, he took us
with him.
276
00:13:49,207 --> 00:13:52,082
[speaking Italian]
277
00:13:56,375 --> 00:14:00,291
I was six, and at six,
you just go with the flow.
278
00:14:00,291 --> 00:14:01,082
You're moving to a place
where you don't
279
00:14:01,082 --> 00:14:02,375
speak the language
at all.
280
00:14:02,375 --> 00:14:06,082
You have friends there,
and now, after two years,
281
00:14:06,082 --> 00:14:07,417
you bounce to
another city.
282
00:14:07,417 --> 00:14:09,000
Now, you have to
start again.
283
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,041
And then two years later,
it repeats itself.
284
00:14:10,041 --> 00:14:12,582
Two years later,
that repeats itself.
285
00:14:12,582 --> 00:14:14,582
And now, you really don't
know anybody,
286
00:14:14,582 --> 00:14:17,375
and you have to figure things
out all over again.
287
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,792
I was more than happy
just to tag along,
288
00:14:22,792 --> 00:14:25,125
just to be around
that atmosphere,
289
00:14:25,125 --> 00:14:27,000
be around the game
and be a ball boy,
290
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,792
just kind of be
in the mix.
291
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,582
I would sit under the basket
the entire game,
292
00:14:33,582 --> 00:14:35,582
and I would have one of those
big, like, sweeper,
293
00:14:35,582 --> 00:14:37,625
like, court-sweeper
things.
294
00:14:37,625 --> 00:14:39,457
Something happened on
the court,
295
00:14:39,457 --> 00:14:40,625
somebody slipped
on some sweat,
296
00:14:40,625 --> 00:14:42,165
I was really anal about
making sure I got
297
00:14:42,165 --> 00:14:44,332
every little,
every last drop up.
298
00:14:44,332 --> 00:14:47,250
It was rush to
be that close.
299
00:14:49,582 --> 00:14:52,125
I used to try to sleep
with my clothes on.
300
00:14:52,125 --> 00:14:54,667
You know, if he needed
to get to practice,
301
00:14:54,667 --> 00:14:56,040
I didn't want to make him
feel like I was
302
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,082
gonna make him late
or something.
303
00:14:58,082 --> 00:14:59,834
I mean, they would do,
like, two practices a day
304
00:14:59,834 --> 00:15:02,291
and that sort of stuff,
and I'd wanna go.
305
00:15:02,291 --> 00:15:04,125
I'd beg to go, but he
wouldn't let me go.
306
00:15:08,125 --> 00:15:10,250
So, I would disappear
307
00:15:10,250 --> 00:15:12,250
and go play
basketball.
308
00:15:15,207 --> 00:15:16,875
The thing that was always
the most constant
was the game.
309
00:15:16,875 --> 00:15:19,125
And that was my
refuge.
310
00:15:19,125 --> 00:15:21,375
That was the place
where I could go
311
00:15:21,375 --> 00:15:24,375
and have complete familiarity
no matter where I was,
312
00:15:24,375 --> 00:15:26,166
whether it was Rieti,
Reggio Calabria,
313
00:15:26,166 --> 00:15:28,625
Reggio Emilia, Pistoia--
it didn't matter.
314
00:15:28,625 --> 00:15:30,125
Whether I got along
with kids,
315
00:15:30,125 --> 00:15:31,166
didn't get along
with the kids,
316
00:15:31,166 --> 00:15:32,082
didn't matter because
I always had my ball.
317
00:15:32,082 --> 00:15:34,667
So, I can always pick up
my basketball,
318
00:15:34,667 --> 00:15:35,667
I can always
hop on my bike,
319
00:15:35,667 --> 00:15:36,792
I can always go
to the park,
320
00:15:36,792 --> 00:15:37,332
and I can always
shoot.
321
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:39,792
Right?
322
00:15:39,792 --> 00:15:41,457
And, um,
323
00:15:41,457 --> 00:15:43,917
that gave me a great
source of comfort.
324
00:15:49,834 --> 00:15:50,709
announcer: Twenty-foot
jumper's not hot enough,
325
00:15:50,709 --> 00:15:51,750
and the rebound
to Scott,
326
00:15:51,750 --> 00:15:53,000
Scott to Magic Johnson,
327
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,792
Magic in the front,
good transition.
328
00:15:54,792 --> 00:15:55,667
Bounce down
the middle!
329
00:15:55,667 --> 00:15:57,125
Slam dunk!
330
00:15:57,125 --> 00:15:58,000
It's gonna be stolen,
I think, by the Doctor.
331
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,917
Yes, he's got it.
Here he comes.
332
00:16:00,917 --> 00:16:03,917
Hey, rock the baby to sleep
with slam dunk!
333
00:16:03,917 --> 00:16:04,625
Herridge back out
to Dennis,
334
00:16:04,625 --> 00:16:05,958
Dennis looks
for Gaines,
335
00:16:05,958 --> 00:16:06,708
gives it to him,
336
00:16:06,708 --> 00:16:07,667
over to Bird.
337
00:16:07,667 --> 00:16:09,792
Bird's three-pointer
and away...good!
338
00:16:09,792 --> 00:16:10,332
[crowd cheering]
339
00:16:14,708 --> 00:16:16,291
My mom's father,
Grandpa Cox,
340
00:16:16,291 --> 00:16:20,582
he used to record
all the games.
341
00:16:20,582 --> 00:16:24,375
And he used to
box them up
342
00:16:24,375 --> 00:16:25,875
and send us copies
of them.
343
00:16:25,875 --> 00:16:28,250
And I would sit there
at home
344
00:16:28,250 --> 00:16:31,875
and watch these games
over and over and over
345
00:16:31,875 --> 00:16:33,375
and over and over
and over and over.
346
00:16:33,375 --> 00:16:34,542
announcer: Beautiful defense
for the Lakers...
347
00:16:34,542 --> 00:16:37,582
The pass to Magic...
Kareem slams!
348
00:16:37,582 --> 00:16:41,040
[indistinct commentary]
349
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,250
And gets it away
to Jordan!
350
00:16:47,667 --> 00:16:49,082
Underneath, and he's in!
351
00:16:49,082 --> 00:16:49,917
One second left!
352
00:16:49,917 --> 00:16:52,792
Bryant: I saw NBA game.
353
00:16:52,792 --> 00:16:54,667
I saw other players
around him.
354
00:16:55,250 --> 00:16:57,040
Everybody was there,
355
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:58,792
and I could see it
clear as day.
356
00:17:00,582 --> 00:17:02,207
It was a place that
I could go to
357
00:17:02,207 --> 00:17:05,250
and not be alone.
358
00:17:05,250 --> 00:17:06,750
announcer: Right down to
the base,
359
00:17:06,750 --> 00:17:08,290
he shoots,
he scores!
360
00:17:08,290 --> 00:17:09,458
And he's back.
Sixteen by Battle.
361
00:17:09,458 --> 00:17:12,916
Bryant: I remember I realized
that I had to learn
362
00:17:12,916 --> 00:17:14,333
how to go coast-to-coast
because that's
363
00:17:14,333 --> 00:17:18,290
what John Battle from the
Atlanta Hawks did.
364
00:17:19,083 --> 00:17:20,250
John Battle.
365
00:17:20,250 --> 00:17:22,125
Most people probably don't
know who John Battle is,
366
00:17:22,125 --> 00:17:25,000
but I do because from watching
him get a rebound,
367
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,040
go coast-to-coast with
his left hand,
368
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,040
even though he was
right-handed,
369
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,750
"Whoa, I need to
do that."
370
00:17:30,750 --> 00:17:32,040
announcer: Battle left to
right...
371
00:17:33,666 --> 00:17:35,834
Perpetual motion, he is
difficult to stay with.
372
00:17:35,834 --> 00:17:36,959
Moves left, moves right,
373
00:17:36,959 --> 00:17:37,959
gets himself open
for the shot.
374
00:17:37,959 --> 00:17:40,333
I want to do what
those guys do on TV.
375
00:17:40,333 --> 00:17:42,625
It was this, like,
mythical thing.
376
00:17:42,625 --> 00:17:43,959
announcer: Three-point...
377
00:17:43,959 --> 00:17:45,834
Oh, Battle gets
it away!
378
00:17:45,834 --> 00:17:46,666
He made it!
He made it!
379
00:17:46,666 --> 00:17:49,375
He made it!
380
00:17:49,375 --> 00:17:53,208
[indistinct commentary]
381
00:17:53,208 --> 00:17:55,208
...and this game
was history.
382
00:17:55,208 --> 00:17:57,125
John Battle...
383
00:18:06,375 --> 00:18:09,250
an on radio: Six to nine months
is the very earliest,
384
00:18:09,250 --> 00:18:11,875
and in all probability,
it's a year,
385
00:18:11,875 --> 00:18:12,500
and the real
question,
386
00:18:12,500 --> 00:18:13,290
which you hit on is:
387
00:18:13,290 --> 00:18:15,583
will he ever be
the same?
388
00:18:15,583 --> 00:18:17,666
And many of our best
basketball players,
389
00:18:17,666 --> 00:18:19,583
Isaiah Thomas, Shaq,
Barkley,
390
00:18:19,583 --> 00:18:22,165
all retired after
this injury.
391
00:19:47,500 --> 00:19:48,500
[balls continuing
to drop]
392
00:20:13,125 --> 00:20:14,709
Bryant: The game for me has
always been about passion
393
00:20:14,709 --> 00:20:17,666
until probably about
the age of...
394
00:20:19,458 --> 00:20:21,709
age of thirteen.
395
00:20:21,709 --> 00:20:22,250
So, it was all about,
kind of, love.
396
00:20:22,250 --> 00:20:24,083
It was fun, you know.
397
00:20:24,083 --> 00:20:26,083
I went out and played
and just had a good time.
398
00:20:34,290 --> 00:20:37,250
Once we moved back
to America for good,
399
00:20:37,250 --> 00:20:42,416
when I was thirteen
years old,
400
00:20:42,416 --> 00:20:44,750
I kind of moved in
about November or so
401
00:20:46,083 --> 00:20:48,583
in the school year,
Bala Cynwyd middle school,
402
00:20:48,583 --> 00:20:51,250
and it was different.
403
00:20:51,250 --> 00:20:53,583
I mean, I didn't
understand the slang.
404
00:20:53,583 --> 00:20:54,458
I was a little
Italian boy.
405
00:20:54,458 --> 00:20:57,250
I didn't understand
the fashion.
406
00:20:58,125 --> 00:21:00,250
And I couldn't
spell.
407
00:21:00,250 --> 00:21:04,290
So, the teacher told my mother
that I was probably dyslexic.
408
00:21:04,290 --> 00:21:08,959
It was like somebody
took me and dropped me
409
00:21:08,959 --> 00:21:11,290
in a bucket,
in a tub
410
00:21:11,290 --> 00:21:15,165
of ice-cold water 'cause it
shocked the shit out of me.
411
00:21:18,625 --> 00:21:20,208
I didn't know anybody.
412
00:21:20,208 --> 00:21:22,000
Very awkward,
skinny-looking,
413
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,875
barely spoke.
414
00:21:23,875 --> 00:21:25,375
Sitting at a lunch table
all by myself,
415
00:21:25,375 --> 00:21:26,208
no friends.
416
00:21:26,208 --> 00:21:29,750
And I was upset that
I had moved.
417
00:21:29,750 --> 00:21:32,416
And I had all this,
you know,
418
00:21:32,416 --> 00:21:34,208
resentment and anger
inside of me
419
00:21:34,208 --> 00:21:37,333
that I hadn't really
let out.
420
00:21:48,165 --> 00:21:51,333
It was never
viewed as,
421
00:21:51,333 --> 00:21:53,500
"I'm going to control
this thing."
422
00:21:53,500 --> 00:21:55,541
It was more like,
"You know what?
423
00:21:55,541 --> 00:21:57,250
"I'm just gonna
424
00:21:57,250 --> 00:21:58,750
"delay the eruption.
425
00:21:58,750 --> 00:22:01,165
"I'm just gonna
push it to the side
426
00:22:01,165 --> 00:22:03,750
"and then use it
to my benefit
427
00:22:03,750 --> 00:22:06,000
"for what it is
that I love doing,
428
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,583
"which is playing
the game."
429
00:22:07,959 --> 00:22:10,000
[buzzer]
430
00:22:12,541 --> 00:22:15,208
And once I
discovered that,
431
00:22:15,208 --> 00:22:16,666
everything about
the game changed...
432
00:22:25,375 --> 00:22:29,750
because now I understood that
I could really lose myself
433
00:22:29,750 --> 00:22:30,583
through the game.
434
00:22:30,583 --> 00:22:32,040
And no matter what
affected me,
435
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,625
no matter what
happened in life,
436
00:22:34,625 --> 00:22:38,040
I could always step
on the basketball court
437
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:42,208
and let my game
speak to that.
438
00:22:42,208 --> 00:22:43,541
You know, step on
that court and
439
00:22:43,541 --> 00:22:45,250
just absolutely erupt.
440
00:22:51,125 --> 00:22:53,791
[crowd cheering]
441
00:22:56,541 --> 00:22:58,541
announcer: ...Kobe Bryant.
442
00:22:59,666 --> 00:23:02,541
Bryant: And that feeling of
playing with that rage
443
00:23:02,541 --> 00:23:04,083
was new to me.
444
00:23:04,083 --> 00:23:05,791
But I fucking
loved it.
445
00:23:41,125 --> 00:23:44,208
There's a choice that we
have to make as people,
446
00:23:44,208 --> 00:23:46,040
as individuals.
447
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:47,125
If you wanna be
great at something,
448
00:23:47,125 --> 00:23:49,000
there's a choice that
you have to make.
449
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:53,000
We all can be masters
at our craft.
450
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,959
But you have to
make a choice.
451
00:23:54,959 --> 00:23:57,875
What I mean by
that is,
452
00:23:57,875 --> 00:23:58,458
there are inherent
sacrifices that
453
00:23:58,458 --> 00:24:00,165
come along with that,
454
00:24:00,165 --> 00:24:01,541
family time,
455
00:24:01,541 --> 00:24:03,375
hanging out
with your friends,
456
00:24:03,375 --> 00:24:05,375
being a great friend,
right?
457
00:24:05,375 --> 00:24:09,583
Being a great,
um, um, um...
458
00:24:09,583 --> 00:24:12,500
son, nephew, whatever
the case may be.
459
00:24:12,500 --> 00:24:14,541
There's sacrifices that come
along with making it.
460
00:24:15,750 --> 00:24:17,709
[crowd counting down]
461
00:24:17,709 --> 00:24:19,000
announcer: Counting it down.
462
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,458
It is over, unfortunately,
for the Cathedral Prep players.
463
00:24:22,458 --> 00:24:25,916
Lower Merion prevails and
wins the state championship
464
00:24:25,916 --> 00:24:29,666
by the final score
of 48 to 43.
465
00:24:29,666 --> 00:24:31,583
The celebration is on
for the Aces.
466
00:24:31,583 --> 00:24:34,500
Look at the media chasing
Kobe Bryant.
467
00:24:34,500 --> 00:24:36,333
They want a shot
of him because
468
00:24:36,333 --> 00:24:38,040
this game just
may be
469
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,165
this young man's
last game
470
00:24:40,165 --> 00:24:42,625
before heading
to the NBA.
471
00:24:42,625 --> 00:24:43,834
interviewer: In your
heart of hearts,
472
00:24:43,834 --> 00:24:46,165
do you think you're
good enough right now
473
00:24:46,165 --> 00:24:47,416
to play in the NBA
next year?
474
00:24:47,416 --> 00:24:48,083
[laughs]
475
00:24:48,083 --> 00:24:49,959
Uh,
476
00:24:49,959 --> 00:24:51,709
it's good to have
self-confidence.
477
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,791
Bryant: I wanna learn
how to become
478
00:24:58,791 --> 00:25:01,165
the best basketball
player in the world.
479
00:25:01,165 --> 00:25:02,375
And if I'm gonna
learn that,
480
00:25:02,375 --> 00:25:04,583
I gotta learn
from the best.
481
00:25:04,583 --> 00:25:07,208
Kids go to school to be
doctors or lawyers
482
00:25:07,208 --> 00:25:07,916
and so forth
and so on.
483
00:25:07,916 --> 00:25:09,290
That's where
they study.
484
00:25:09,290 --> 00:25:10,208
That's the place
for them to study,
485
00:25:10,208 --> 00:25:11,709
My place to study
is from the best.
486
00:25:11,709 --> 00:25:13,791
[crowd cheering]
487
00:25:16,458 --> 00:25:19,709
I, Kobe Bryant,
have decided
488
00:25:19,709 --> 00:25:22,834
to skip college and take my
talent to the NBA.
489
00:25:22,834 --> 00:25:24,375
[loud applause]
490
00:25:25,541 --> 00:25:28,834
I knew that I was not
going to be stopped.
491
00:25:28,834 --> 00:25:30,750
So at the age
of eighteen,
492
00:25:30,750 --> 00:25:32,208
this was my life.
493
00:25:33,083 --> 00:25:35,125
Right?
494
00:25:35,125 --> 00:25:37,916
So, you can't possibly
become better than me
495
00:25:37,916 --> 00:25:41,125
because you're not spending
the time on it that I do.
496
00:25:41,125 --> 00:25:43,040
Even if you wanna spend
the time on it,
497
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:44,583
you can't because
you have other things.
498
00:25:44,583 --> 00:25:46,916
You have other
responsibilities
499
00:25:46,916 --> 00:25:48,959
that are taking you
away from it.
500
00:25:50,125 --> 00:25:50,791
So, I already won.
501
00:27:00,791 --> 00:27:02,375
man: Been a
long road?
502
00:27:02,375 --> 00:27:03,416
Bryant: Yep.
503
00:27:03,416 --> 00:27:04,250
I bet.
504
00:27:04,250 --> 00:27:06,375
I love the comment
that you made
505
00:27:06,375 --> 00:27:07,500
that you're starting
to feel almost
506
00:27:07,500 --> 00:27:10,040
like you did in the
very first year,
507
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,333
some of that
education.
508
00:27:12,333 --> 00:27:13,333
Of course.
509
00:27:13,333 --> 00:27:15,625
It's gotta be
510
00:27:15,625 --> 00:27:17,165
one of the
hardest times
511
00:27:17,165 --> 00:27:19,040
you've ever
worked out.
512
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:21,916
I bet.
513
00:27:22,875 --> 00:27:23,709
Well, I have a ton
of respect for you.
514
00:27:23,709 --> 00:27:25,165
Hope to see you
back out there.
515
00:27:25,165 --> 00:27:26,959
Thank you.
516
00:27:26,959 --> 00:27:27,834
Soon. I know I will.
517
00:27:27,834 --> 00:27:29,333
[laughs]
518
00:27:41,959 --> 00:27:44,125
man: Jerry? Have Jerry
come up for us.
519
00:27:44,125 --> 00:27:45,541
Jerry: Excuse me.
520
00:27:49,916 --> 00:27:50,333
We'll put the rich guy
in the middle.
521
00:27:50,333 --> 00:27:51,959
[laughter]
522
00:27:56,083 --> 00:27:57,791
[reporters talking,
cameras flashing]
523
00:28:04,165 --> 00:28:05,625
Bryant: Growing up
in Italy,
524
00:28:05,625 --> 00:28:08,083
I was such a
big Laker fan.
525
00:28:08,083 --> 00:28:10,541
Like, a massive
Laker fan.
526
00:28:10,541 --> 00:28:13,791
I knew everything
about them.
527
00:28:13,791 --> 00:28:15,750
I was obsessed
with Magic.
528
00:28:16,666 --> 00:28:18,750
I used to work
on my sky hook
529
00:28:18,750 --> 00:28:19,709
every single day.
530
00:28:19,709 --> 00:28:23,290
And then--
To be like Kareem.
531
00:28:23,290 --> 00:28:27,709
And then, I worked on the baby
hook to be like Magic.
532
00:28:27,709 --> 00:28:30,583
And, uh, I worked
on my runners
533
00:28:30,583 --> 00:28:32,666
to be like
James Worthy.
534
00:28:32,666 --> 00:28:33,959
My left-hand
hook runners,
535
00:28:33,959 --> 00:28:35,208
right-hand hook
runners,
536
00:28:35,208 --> 00:28:37,250
my pull-up jump
shot in transition
537
00:28:37,250 --> 00:28:38,625
like Byron Scott,
538
00:28:38,625 --> 00:28:42,541
and scoring 40, 50,
60 points, 80 points.
539
00:28:42,541 --> 00:28:43,791
I'd have those
dreams.
540
00:28:43,791 --> 00:28:49,165
And so, a hundred
percent of the time
541
00:28:49,165 --> 00:28:50,625
when I imagined
these things,
542
00:28:50,625 --> 00:28:52,583
I had on a Laker
uniform.
543
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:55,000
Golden jersey,
baby.
544
00:29:00,290 --> 00:29:04,416
This was, like,
545
00:29:04,416 --> 00:29:05,541
dream come true.
546
00:29:05,541 --> 00:29:07,208
announcer: Elden Campbell
back on the floor
547
00:29:07,208 --> 00:29:11,583
with Rooks and Kobe Bryant
making his first appearance
548
00:29:11,583 --> 00:29:12,875
in Madison Square
Garden.
549
00:29:12,875 --> 00:29:14,834
Eighteen years of age,
and he'll go
550
00:29:14,834 --> 00:29:15,834
to the free throw line.
551
00:29:15,834 --> 00:29:17,625
Now, let's give you
some perspective.
552
00:29:17,625 --> 00:29:20,583
This is the third
game of the season.
553
00:29:20,583 --> 00:29:25,208
A year ago at this time
in his third game for
Lower Merion High School,
554
00:29:25,208 --> 00:29:27,834
Kobe Bryant was leading
the Lower Merion Aces
555
00:29:27,834 --> 00:29:30,834
to victory over
Haverford High School.
556
00:29:33,875 --> 00:29:38,333
There is his first point
in the NBA.
557
00:29:38,333 --> 00:29:39,625
And it comes at the age
558
00:29:39,625 --> 00:29:42,333
of 18 years, 2 months,
and a couple of days.
559
00:29:42,333 --> 00:29:44,541
All season, I was just
waiting and waiting
560
00:29:44,541 --> 00:29:45,458
for my opportunity
to come.
561
00:29:45,458 --> 00:29:47,750
I wanted to prove that
I was better than
562
00:29:47,750 --> 00:29:50,333
they thought I was,
you know?
563
00:29:50,333 --> 00:29:51,458
I wanted to prove
to myself
564
00:29:51,458 --> 00:29:53,040
that I'm better than
they think I was.
565
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:54,834
And I was mentally
preparing myself
566
00:29:54,834 --> 00:29:57,791
and visualizing the moment
that would come where,
567
00:29:57,791 --> 00:29:59,208
you know, I'm--
568
00:30:01,709 --> 00:30:03,875
I lead the Los Angeles
Lakers to a victory.
569
00:30:03,875 --> 00:30:04,959
announcer: Knight comes
off the back
570
00:30:04,959 --> 00:30:06,458
to Shaq for the rebound.
571
00:30:06,458 --> 00:30:08,916
[indistinct]
572
00:30:08,916 --> 00:30:09,959
Kobe, don't
do that.
573
00:30:09,959 --> 00:30:10,709
You know you're gonna
wear out your pants
574
00:30:10,709 --> 00:30:12,083
if you plan on
doing that.
575
00:30:12,834 --> 00:30:15,000
There are times I'd
sit the bench
576
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:15,875
for seven straight
games and then play
577
00:30:15,875 --> 00:30:17,959
the last twenty
seconds of a game
578
00:30:17,959 --> 00:30:20,290
and then look around and see
other players in the league
579
00:30:20,290 --> 00:30:22,791
that are out there playing
and performing
580
00:30:22,791 --> 00:30:24,791
and setting the
league on fire.
581
00:30:26,290 --> 00:30:27,083
announcer: ...the crowd
is into it...
582
00:30:28,791 --> 00:30:29,625
Yes!
583
00:30:30,916 --> 00:30:32,290
Comes the way out
and goes right down
the middle...
584
00:30:32,290 --> 00:30:33,875
I knew I could play
with these guys
585
00:30:33,875 --> 00:30:35,290
because I had seen
them up-close.
586
00:30:35,290 --> 00:30:37,040
I knew I could
587
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:38,416
compete with them,
588
00:30:38,416 --> 00:30:41,083
but I wasn't getting the
opportunity to show it.
589
00:30:41,083 --> 00:30:42,165
announcer: There's Kobe on
the bench,
590
00:30:42,165 --> 00:30:44,165
itching, itching
to get in.
591
00:30:44,165 --> 00:30:47,666
One of the things
I always used to do
592
00:30:47,666 --> 00:30:52,125
is get in my car and drive
around the campus of UCLA.
593
00:30:56,500 --> 00:30:58,959
I'd see kids hanging out
at fraternity houses
594
00:30:58,959 --> 00:31:01,250
and just walking
around.
595
00:31:01,250 --> 00:31:03,666
I just wanted to
feel that.
596
00:31:03,666 --> 00:31:05,083
You know?
597
00:31:05,083 --> 00:31:06,040
Just wanted to
feel that.
598
00:31:07,583 --> 00:31:08,834
And then I'd
even wonder,
599
00:31:08,834 --> 00:31:11,583
"Fuck, did I make
the wrong choice, man?
600
00:31:11,583 --> 00:31:13,834
"Did I fuck up?
601
00:31:13,834 --> 00:31:17,040
"I could be going to college
and laughing and hanging out
602
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,040
"with these kids, man,
603
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:19,709
"and having a good time
and enjoying it.
604
00:31:19,709 --> 00:31:21,165
"But, no, here I am."
605
00:31:21,165 --> 00:31:24,709
announcer: It's game five
in the best of seven,
606
00:31:24,709 --> 00:31:25,959
Western Conference
Semi-final.
607
00:31:25,959 --> 00:31:28,791
The Utah Jazz leading this
series three games to one.
608
00:31:28,791 --> 00:31:31,791
Lakers do not have
a time-out.
609
00:31:31,791 --> 00:31:33,750
Eleven-point,
three to play in regulation.
610
00:31:33,750 --> 00:31:35,834
You see the storm...
611
00:31:35,834 --> 00:31:37,500
Before each series,
we got a binder,
612
00:31:37,500 --> 00:31:39,750
and it had all the plays and
the players and their
statistics,
613
00:31:39,750 --> 00:31:44,375
and I mean, I really
studied it.
614
00:31:44,375 --> 00:31:45,791
Like, I really
studied it.
615
00:31:45,791 --> 00:31:46,959
And I didn't know most
of the players
616
00:31:46,959 --> 00:31:49,290
took the books and,
you know,
617
00:31:49,290 --> 00:31:52,416
just kind of left them
in their rooms or whatever.
618
00:31:52,416 --> 00:31:54,125
But I really
studied them.
619
00:31:54,125 --> 00:31:55,834
Like, I knew the sets,
I knew the percentages.
620
00:31:55,834 --> 00:32:00,000
I knew, you know,
and
621
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,875
I just tried to be
as prepared as possible
622
00:32:02,875 --> 00:32:04,834
because this was,
like...
623
00:32:05,458 --> 00:32:07,375
I didn't wanna
mess up.
624
00:32:07,375 --> 00:32:09,375
announcer: This has been
a game for Los Angeles.
625
00:32:09,375 --> 00:32:11,125
that, obviously,
they need to win.
626
00:32:11,125 --> 00:32:13,208
A loss and they're eliminated
from the playoffs,
627
00:32:13,208 --> 00:32:14,250
and here we go.
628
00:32:14,250 --> 00:32:15,959
Kobe Bryant will
take it.
629
00:32:16,666 --> 00:32:18,416
Bryant right
by Russell,
630
00:32:18,416 --> 00:32:20,208
five seconds left.
631
00:32:20,208 --> 00:32:20,709
Four, Bryant drives...
632
00:32:20,709 --> 00:32:23,416
shot on the way.
633
00:32:23,416 --> 00:32:24,625
No good.
We go to overtime.
634
00:32:24,625 --> 00:32:26,791
announcer 2: I've gotta say
this, for an 18-year-old
635
00:32:26,791 --> 00:32:29,750
to take this shot when it's
on the line,
636
00:32:29,750 --> 00:32:31,165
let's give him some
credit for that.
637
00:32:31,165 --> 00:32:32,625
Fisher wide open
to Kobe Bryant.
638
00:32:32,625 --> 00:32:35,333
[indistinct commentary
and crowd cheering]
639
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:39,000
Let's see how strong
he is because
640
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,458
that hurts confidence,
both in Kobe
641
00:32:41,458 --> 00:32:43,333
and his teammates
running the ball.
642
00:32:43,333 --> 00:32:44,916
He has shot two
air balls in a row.
643
00:32:44,916 --> 00:32:47,416
He's got to come up and
play like it's nothing.
644
00:32:47,416 --> 00:32:49,458
You just missed a shot,
that's all that happened.
645
00:32:52,208 --> 00:32:53,500
Van Exel straight
away to Bryant.
646
00:32:53,500 --> 00:32:54,875
Bryant for three...
647
00:32:54,875 --> 00:32:56,583
it's short.
Air ball.
648
00:32:57,916 --> 00:33:01,125
Three times he
shot air balls.
649
00:33:01,125 --> 00:33:02,375
Bryant: I'm just gonna
keep on going,
650
00:33:02,375 --> 00:33:03,625
no matter what.
651
00:33:03,625 --> 00:33:04,834
You can fail ten times,
and that eleventh time
652
00:33:04,834 --> 00:33:06,875
is when you're
great.
653
00:33:06,875 --> 00:33:08,458
You fail eleven times
and the twelfth time
654
00:33:08,458 --> 00:33:09,791
is gonna be great.
655
00:33:09,791 --> 00:33:11,791
But eventually,
it's gonna happen.
656
00:33:11,791 --> 00:33:13,875
announcer: Fifteen seconds
to go, a chance to tie.
657
00:33:13,875 --> 00:33:15,834
Van Exel with it.
658
00:33:19,458 --> 00:33:20,834
Bryant for the tie...
659
00:33:20,834 --> 00:33:22,040
another air ball!
660
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:23,916
It's over,
it's over.
661
00:33:23,916 --> 00:33:25,709
I do believe
it's over.
662
00:33:25,709 --> 00:33:27,625
It's all over.
663
00:33:27,625 --> 00:33:29,916
Bryant: We flew back
to L.A. that night.
664
00:33:29,916 --> 00:33:32,666
And I got home,
it was probably,
665
00:33:32,666 --> 00:33:33,666
like, three in
the morning.
666
00:33:33,666 --> 00:33:36,000
And I went down
to the high school,
667
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,541
which is down the
street from my house.
668
00:33:39,541 --> 00:33:41,709
And the janitor let
me in the gym,
669
00:33:41,709 --> 00:33:43,125
and I shot
all day.
670
00:33:44,959 --> 00:33:46,290
All day.
671
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,250
I mean, all day.
672
00:33:49,250 --> 00:33:52,416
And this was right after
that playoff game.
673
00:33:52,416 --> 00:33:55,666
And, um, I didn't
leave the gym.
674
00:33:55,666 --> 00:33:57,625
I just kept shooting and
shooting and shooting
675
00:33:57,625 --> 00:33:58,834
and shooting and shooting
and shooting
676
00:33:58,834 --> 00:34:00,583
and practicing
and practicing.
677
00:34:00,583 --> 00:34:05,333
And I got a chance to
let out the steam of
678
00:34:05,333 --> 00:34:08,083
disappointing my teammates
and millions of fans.
679
00:34:08,083 --> 00:34:11,166
I got a chance to
let all that out
680
00:34:11,166 --> 00:34:13,791
instead of bottling
it up
681
00:34:13,791 --> 00:34:15,875
and envision that moment
over and over and over
682
00:34:15,875 --> 00:34:17,208
and over and over.
683
00:34:17,208 --> 00:34:20,083
That was a huge summer
for me because
684
00:34:24,375 --> 00:34:25,041
I felt like everybody had
written me off
685
00:34:25,041 --> 00:34:27,041
after those air
balls.
686
00:34:27,041 --> 00:34:28,875
I was really excited when
the schedule came out
687
00:34:28,875 --> 00:34:29,875
and I saw we had Utah.
688
00:34:29,875 --> 00:34:31,250
announcer: Tonight in the
season opener,
689
00:34:31,250 --> 00:34:33,250
the Los Angeles Lakers
host the Utah Jazz.
690
00:34:37,375 --> 00:34:39,166
The ball to Kobe,
comes underneath,
691
00:34:39,166 --> 00:34:40,166
lays it up and in
with a 360 curve.
692
00:34:42,375 --> 00:34:44,875
The hips were flying,
the feet were moving,
693
00:34:44,875 --> 00:34:48,416
the arms were going,
and he put in a flutter ball.
694
00:34:48,416 --> 00:34:49,458
Kobe with the ball.
695
00:34:49,458 --> 00:34:51,333
He just made a great
move a second ago.
696
00:34:51,333 --> 00:34:56,083
[indistinct commentary]
697
00:34:56,083 --> 00:34:57,750
He went underneath
and brought it back
698
00:34:57,750 --> 00:34:59,125
with the left hand,
did he not?
699
00:34:59,125 --> 00:35:00,000
announcer 2: Yes, he did.
700
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,916
announcer: 87-77.
701
00:35:01,916 --> 00:35:02,833
announcer 2:
That's called
being ambidextrous.
702
00:35:02,833 --> 00:35:06,458
I came from really
big in the clutch,
703
00:35:06,458 --> 00:35:07,541
really big in
the clutch.
704
00:35:07,541 --> 00:35:10,333
And I remember just
feeling like,
705
00:35:10,333 --> 00:35:13,541
feeling really,
like, vindicated.
706
00:35:13,541 --> 00:35:15,083
Like, for me, it was
a really big deal.
707
00:35:15,083 --> 00:35:18,375
For the veterans, they probably
didn't give a shit about it.
708
00:35:18,375 --> 00:35:19,750
It was just another regular
season game.
709
00:35:19,750 --> 00:35:21,083
But for me, it was
a big deal.
710
00:35:23,916 --> 00:35:25,041
announcer: Yeah, count it.
711
00:35:25,041 --> 00:35:26,250
Basket is good.
712
00:35:26,250 --> 00:35:28,541
announcer 2: Did you see
him finish that play, Chick?
713
00:35:28,541 --> 00:35:29,750
Chick: Yes, I did.
714
00:35:32,375 --> 00:35:33,375
You have come
so far in one year.
715
00:35:33,375 --> 00:35:37,500
That's because you work
so hard in the summer?
716
00:35:37,500 --> 00:35:38,458
I definitely did.
717
00:35:38,458 --> 00:35:40,125
I was a student
of the game.
718
00:35:40,125 --> 00:35:41,750
I tried to understand
things that
719
00:35:41,750 --> 00:35:43,166
I wasn't doing very well
last season
720
00:35:43,166 --> 00:35:45,875
and try to add them
to my game.
721
00:35:45,875 --> 00:35:47,083
And it's difficult
because you have to
722
00:35:47,083 --> 00:35:48,041
break habits,
723
00:35:48,041 --> 00:35:49,166
so that was the
hardest adjustment.
724
00:35:49,166 --> 00:35:51,541
But this year,
you're getting
more minutes.
725
00:35:51,541 --> 00:35:54,125
Obviously, a guy can
play better when he's
not looking
726
00:35:54,125 --> 00:35:56,333
over his shoulder to see
if the coach is gonna
take him out.
727
00:35:56,333 --> 00:35:57,375
Well, when you play
more minutes,
728
00:35:57,375 --> 00:35:58,458
you naturally
get better
729
00:35:58,458 --> 00:36:00,125
because that's experience
out there on the court.
730
00:36:00,125 --> 00:36:01,125
You're gonna get
all kinds of
endorsements,
731
00:36:01,125 --> 00:36:02,291
which you're
already getting.
732
00:36:02,291 --> 00:36:06,375
You gotta get somebody
that sells toothpaste.
733
00:36:06,375 --> 00:36:07,625
You've got
beautiful teeth.
734
00:36:07,625 --> 00:36:08,875
Oh, thank you
very much.
735
00:36:08,875 --> 00:36:10,333
Appreciate it.
736
00:36:10,333 --> 00:36:11,666
Chick: Well, he might
be only 18 years and
five months old,
737
00:36:11,666 --> 00:36:14,291
but this guy can do
everything that the
veterans can do
738
00:36:14,291 --> 00:36:16,125
and do it better,
perhaps, yeah?
739
00:36:16,125 --> 00:36:18,875
Here we go,
change of direction.
740
00:36:18,875 --> 00:36:20,916
Slam dunk!
741
00:36:20,916 --> 00:36:23,750
How good is
this kid?
742
00:36:23,750 --> 00:36:27,291
Bryant: The most important
this is you must put everybody
743
00:36:27,291 --> 00:36:29,083
on notice that you're here
and you're for real.
744
00:36:29,083 --> 00:36:30,708
I'm not a player that's just
gonna come and go.
745
00:36:30,708 --> 00:36:32,958
I'm not a player that's gonna
make an all-star team
746
00:36:32,958 --> 00:36:35,125
one time, two times.
747
00:36:35,125 --> 00:36:37,333
I'm here to be an
all-time great.
748
00:36:37,333 --> 00:36:38,333
[crowd erupts in cheers]
749
00:36:39,916 --> 00:36:42,208
Once I made that
commitment and
750
00:36:42,208 --> 00:36:44,916
said, "I want to be one
of the greatest ever,"
751
00:36:45,666 --> 00:36:48,000
then the game became
everything for me.
752
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:49,250
announcer: Kobe Bryant
is guarded by Michael Jordan.
753
00:36:49,250 --> 00:36:51,750
Pulls away from Michael,
oh!
754
00:36:51,750 --> 00:36:53,666
Kobe Bryant.
755
00:36:53,666 --> 00:36:54,791
Even Michael Jordan
will tell you that
756
00:36:54,791 --> 00:36:58,208
Kobe Bryant is the
future of the NBA.
757
00:36:58,208 --> 00:36:59,208
You realize how
good he is.
758
00:36:59,208 --> 00:37:01,125
He's actually in his
second year of college,
759
00:37:01,125 --> 00:37:02,708
and certainly,
he's learned
a lot.
760
00:37:02,708 --> 00:37:04,291
He's certainly gonna
learn a lot more.
761
00:37:04,291 --> 00:37:06,125
He's gonna be a lot better
if he keeps improving.
762
00:37:06,125 --> 00:37:07,625
He's been voted by
the fans to start
763
00:37:07,625 --> 00:37:09,833
in next Sunday's
all-star game,
764
00:37:09,833 --> 00:37:11,083
making him the
youngest player in
765
00:37:11,083 --> 00:37:13,250
NBA all-star
history.
766
00:37:13,250 --> 00:37:14,500
announcer: He's got the
ball in his hands again.
767
00:37:14,500 --> 00:37:16,125
To Garnett,
back to Kobe!
768
00:37:16,125 --> 00:37:18,541
You ever seen a
young man
769
00:37:18,541 --> 00:37:20,875
like Kobe Bryant,
so confident
770
00:37:20,875 --> 00:37:22,208
at his age
and so mature?
771
00:37:22,208 --> 00:37:23,041
No.
772
00:37:23,041 --> 00:37:23,458
No, never.
773
00:37:23,458 --> 00:37:24,875
I think that
774
00:37:24,875 --> 00:37:26,041
he'll show you
things that
775
00:37:26,041 --> 00:37:27,583
a lot of--you're talking
about a 19-year-old--
776
00:37:27,583 --> 00:37:30,416
a lot of the guys, 25 and 30,
35, can't even do.
777
00:37:33,333 --> 00:37:36,041
announcer: Faked the
wrap-around,
Pete Maravich.
778
00:37:36,041 --> 00:37:38,333
He faked a wrap-around
pass behind his back
779
00:37:38,333 --> 00:37:39,583
and sets the crowd
on fire.
780
00:37:59,666 --> 00:38:03,250
It's like that scene in the
movie where everything just
781
00:38:03,250 --> 00:38:06,291
magically happens
the right way.
782
00:38:06,291 --> 00:38:06,875
announcer: Bryant...
783
00:38:06,875 --> 00:38:09,083
to Shaq!
784
00:38:10,333 --> 00:38:12,250
Everything was
clicking.
785
00:38:12,250 --> 00:38:14,916
You know, playing the
best basketball
786
00:38:14,916 --> 00:38:17,500
of my career, the physical
aspect, the mental aspect,
787
00:38:19,333 --> 00:38:21,291
starting my family--
788
00:38:21,291 --> 00:38:23,416
everything's just
rolling.
789
00:38:23,416 --> 00:38:24,791
announcer: Kobe!
790
00:38:25,791 --> 00:38:27,916
Here's Bryant,
six on the shot clock,
791
00:38:27,916 --> 00:38:28,500
Reggie defending.
792
00:38:28,500 --> 00:38:30,625
Kobe, five seconds.
793
00:38:30,625 --> 00:38:31,791
Off to Kobe Bryant,
794
00:38:31,791 --> 00:38:34,666
both teams battling for
their collective lives.
795
00:38:34,666 --> 00:38:36,000
Kobe's outside hitter!
796
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:37,583
[crowd cheering]
797
00:38:37,583 --> 00:38:43,166
And the Lakers are
the 2000 NBA Champions!
798
00:38:47,625 --> 00:38:49,416
[whooping, hollering]
799
00:38:54,375 --> 00:38:55,208
Bryant: I can remember
winning the championship
800
00:38:55,208 --> 00:38:59,041
and kinda being
like,
801
00:38:59,041 --> 00:39:00,458
"Okay, now what?
802
00:39:00,458 --> 00:39:02,291
"What happens now?
803
00:39:02,291 --> 00:39:03,958
"What happens now?
804
00:39:03,958 --> 00:39:06,291
"Holy shit, that champagne
burns like a motherfucker."
805
00:39:06,291 --> 00:39:07,666
[laughs]
806
00:39:08,250 --> 00:39:09,250
"All right, let's celebrate.
807
00:39:09,250 --> 00:39:10,833
"Let's wave the champagne
bottles around,
808
00:39:10,833 --> 00:39:11,166
"just don't drop it."
809
00:39:11,166 --> 00:39:12,625
[laughs]
810
00:39:12,625 --> 00:39:14,500
Seriously, somebody
would drop it.
811
00:39:14,500 --> 00:39:15,833
And then outside
of that,
812
00:39:15,833 --> 00:39:16,458
it was like,
"Okay, now what?"
813
00:39:18,250 --> 00:39:19,083
announcer: Back-to-back
titles
814
00:39:19,083 --> 00:39:21,416
for the Los Angeles
Lakers.
815
00:39:24,791 --> 00:39:26,250
Kobe Bryant is just
22 years old.
816
00:39:26,250 --> 00:39:28,416
There's nothing
he can't do.
817
00:39:28,416 --> 00:39:29,666
He already has
the total package.
818
00:39:29,666 --> 00:39:33,833
Shaquille O'Neal,
unprecedented what
he has done.
819
00:39:33,833 --> 00:39:35,833
Here's a guy who
is dominating,
820
00:39:35,833 --> 00:39:37,583
maybe more than any
player in NBA history.
821
00:39:37,583 --> 00:39:38,416
And the beautiful
thing is that
822
00:39:38,416 --> 00:39:41,666
they're just
getting started.
823
00:39:41,666 --> 00:39:43,250
We're gonna get another
one next year...again!
824
00:39:43,250 --> 00:39:46,791
Back-to-back-
to-back!
825
00:39:46,791 --> 00:39:47,875
[loud cheering]
826
00:39:47,875 --> 00:39:49,000
When you make a
choice and say,
827
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:53,041
"Come hell or high water,
I'm going to be this,"
828
00:39:53,041 --> 00:39:56,708
then you should not be
surprised when you are that.
829
00:39:56,708 --> 00:39:57,708
You should not be
something that's...
830
00:39:59,708 --> 00:40:04,083
that feels intoxicating
or out-of-character
831
00:40:04,083 --> 00:40:05,875
because you had seen
this moment for so long.
832
00:40:05,875 --> 00:40:08,041
That played in your mind
for so long that
833
00:40:08,041 --> 00:40:09,625
when that moment
comes,
834
00:40:11,208 --> 00:40:12,250
it's like,
"Of course it's here,"
835
00:40:12,250 --> 00:40:13,250
because it's been
here the whole time
836
00:40:13,250 --> 00:40:14,583
because it's been up here
the whole time.
837
00:40:17,666 --> 00:40:19,208
That's what it
feels like,
838
00:40:19,208 --> 00:40:20,458
at least for me.
839
00:40:21,333 --> 00:40:22,500
announcer: The Los Angeles
Lakers
840
00:40:22,500 --> 00:40:27,458
have made it three
straight championships.
841
00:40:27,458 --> 00:40:31,083
They are a team
for the ages.
842
00:40:32,250 --> 00:40:35,041
man on TV: Seven hundred and
fifty dollars. Good luck.
843
00:40:35,041 --> 00:40:36,125
Donna?
844
00:40:36,125 --> 00:40:37,166
Donna: 2100.
845
00:40:37,166 --> 00:40:39,500
man: Actual retail price
is...
846
00:40:40,208 --> 00:40:42,833
2,999!
847
00:40:42,833 --> 00:40:43,416
Donna!
848
00:40:43,416 --> 00:40:45,708
[Donna screaming]
849
00:40:54,416 --> 00:40:55,666
Oh, my God!
850
00:40:58,833 --> 00:41:03,750
[laughs]
851
00:41:03,750 --> 00:41:06,125
She's having an
exorcism.
852
00:41:11,708 --> 00:41:14,083
woman on TV: Everyone loves
a delicious baked potato,
853
00:41:14,083 --> 00:41:17,083
but cooking them in the oven
takes 45 minutes.
854
00:41:17,083 --> 00:41:18,583
And when you cook them
in the microwave,
855
00:41:18,583 --> 00:41:20,625
they come out mushy
and dry.
856
00:41:20,625 --> 00:41:23,583
Introducing Potato Express,
the fastest, easiest way
857
00:41:23,583 --> 00:41:25,625
to cook perfect
baked potatoes
858
00:41:25,625 --> 00:41:26,583
in just four minutes.
859
00:41:43,416 --> 00:41:44,166
physical therapist:
Does it hurt?
860
00:41:44,166 --> 00:41:45,958
No, it feels a lot
better.
861
00:41:45,958 --> 00:41:47,625
[inaudible]
862
00:41:50,083 --> 00:41:51,333
No.
863
00:41:52,416 --> 00:41:53,416
When I wake up in
the morning, though,
864
00:41:53,416 --> 00:41:54,583
it's tight right at
the attachment
865
00:41:54,583 --> 00:41:55,541
of the tendon and
the calcaneus.
866
00:41:55,541 --> 00:41:57,291
physical therapist:
Down there?
867
00:41:57,291 --> 00:41:58,666
Bryant: Yep.
868
00:41:59,958 --> 00:42:01,750
I don't even know how
to spell "calcaneus,"
869
00:42:01,750 --> 00:42:03,541
but I know what the
fuck it is.
870
00:42:03,541 --> 00:42:05,750
[laughs]
871
00:42:09,625 --> 00:42:10,750
You gotta be able
to communicate
872
00:42:10,750 --> 00:42:12,416
what the hell's wrong
with you.
873
00:42:27,875 --> 00:42:29,958
[indistinct talking]

man: Go and...
876
00:42:40,208 --> 00:42:41,250
Playback!
877
00:42:41,250 --> 00:42:42,958
[rap music starts]
rapper: Come on.
878
00:42:42,958 --> 00:42:44,583
Right.
879
00:42:45,208 --> 00:42:46,458
Uh, uh-huh.
880
00:42:47,375 --> 00:42:48,166
What's happening,
y'all?
881
00:42:48,166 --> 00:42:50,791
Welcome to my first
video shoot.
882
00:42:50,791 --> 00:43:00,666
♪
883
00:43:00,666 --> 00:43:02,083
For those that don't
know,
884
00:43:02,083 --> 00:43:07,708
yes, I had a budding
music career
885
00:43:07,708 --> 00:43:08,750
as a rapper.
886
00:43:08,750 --> 00:43:10,416
It, uh...
887
00:43:11,291 --> 00:43:12,625
um...
888
00:43:13,166 --> 00:43:13,833
didn't last long,
889
00:43:15,291 --> 00:43:17,583
but I did
890
00:43:17,583 --> 00:43:20,083
make a video.
891
00:43:20,083 --> 00:43:24,541
And on the video
set is where I first
892
00:43:24,541 --> 00:43:26,208
met Vanessa.
893
00:43:26,208 --> 00:43:27,625
We've got these
lovely young ladies
894
00:43:27,625 --> 00:43:29,708
that I haven't even
met yet.
895
00:43:29,708 --> 00:43:30,916
How you
doin'?
896
00:43:30,916 --> 00:43:32,083
Hi.
Kobe.
897
00:43:32,083 --> 00:43:32,958
How are you?
Nice to meet you.
898
00:43:32,958 --> 00:43:33,666
Trinidad.
899
00:43:33,666 --> 00:43:34,666
Trinidad.
How you doin'?
900
00:43:34,666 --> 00:43:36,416
Tomasina.
Tomasina.
901
00:43:37,458 --> 00:43:38,083
And...
Vanessa.
902
00:43:38,083 --> 00:43:40,250
Hi.
903
00:43:40,250 --> 00:43:43,041
I wasn't some big-time
basketball player
904
00:43:43,041 --> 00:43:45,291
at the time, either,
so it was like, you know,
905
00:43:46,958 --> 00:43:48,958
"It's a pleasure
to meet you."
[laughs]
906
00:43:48,958 --> 00:43:56,875
[music playing]
907
00:44:03,166 --> 00:44:04,833
It was a two-day
video shoot,
908
00:44:04,833 --> 00:44:07,125
and I was always
looking for her.
909
00:44:07,125 --> 00:44:08,916
Like, I wanted to know
where she was.
910
00:44:08,916 --> 00:44:10,833
And I would finish a take
and then go to my trailer,
911
00:44:10,833 --> 00:44:13,458
but I'd wonder where
she is the entire time
912
00:44:13,458 --> 00:44:15,541
and then come out of the
trailer and just wanna
913
00:44:15,541 --> 00:44:17,291
talk to her some more
in between takes
914
00:44:17,291 --> 00:44:18,541
and stuff like that.
915
00:44:18,541 --> 00:44:19,708
And she wrote her
phone number down
916
00:44:19,708 --> 00:44:20,958
at the the time where you
still had to write
917
00:44:20,958 --> 00:44:23,583
phone numbers down,
and, um,
918
00:44:23,583 --> 00:44:24,750
I called her the
very next day,
919
00:44:24,750 --> 00:44:27,458
and we talked
for hours.
920
00:44:28,375 --> 00:44:30,208
Vanessa, say "what's up"
to the camera.
921
00:44:30,208 --> 00:44:31,291
Hello.
922
00:44:32,583 --> 00:44:35,000
She was just...
beautiful.
923
00:44:37,791 --> 00:44:39,416
And we literally did
everything together.
924
00:44:39,416 --> 00:44:40,916
Everything together.
925
00:44:40,916 --> 00:44:42,625
And I thought I was a big
dork because I loved,
926
00:44:42,625 --> 00:44:46,291
I loved Disneyland.
[laughs]
927
00:44:46,291 --> 00:44:48,291
I love the Disney movies
and things like that,
928
00:44:48,291 --> 00:44:51,500
but I never really had a chance
to go to the park much,
929
00:44:51,500 --> 00:44:53,625
and she was a big
Disney fan, too.
930
00:44:53,625 --> 00:44:55,208
And we used to hang out
at Disneyland,
931
00:44:55,208 --> 00:44:56,166
we used to go
to Magic Mountain.
932
00:44:56,166 --> 00:44:59,166
She became my
best friend, you know?
933
00:44:59,166 --> 00:45:01,375
And for me, it was
very different
934
00:45:01,375 --> 00:45:02,708
to have somebody that
I was so close to
935
00:45:02,708 --> 00:45:05,666
because I had been
so used to growing up
936
00:45:05,666 --> 00:45:08,416
in isolation, really,
and moving around
937
00:45:08,416 --> 00:45:10,333
from place to place
938
00:45:10,333 --> 00:45:13,583
and making new friends
all the time.
939
00:45:13,583 --> 00:45:15,958
So, I never really
940
00:45:15,958 --> 00:45:16,791
opened up to anybody
because I knew
941
00:45:16,791 --> 00:45:20,041
I was just gonna
inevitably move.
942
00:45:20,041 --> 00:45:22,208
But now, being in
Los Angeles
943
00:45:22,208 --> 00:45:24,625
and feeling like I'm gonna be a
Laker for the rest of my life,
944
00:45:24,625 --> 00:45:26,833
and I just met this
beautiful woman
945
00:45:26,833 --> 00:45:30,708
that I just see the world
the same way with,
946
00:45:32,791 --> 00:45:34,708
we decided
to get married.
947
00:45:34,708 --> 00:45:36,916
I proposed,
she said "yes."
948
00:45:38,375 --> 00:45:39,958
We're both so young,
right?
949
00:45:39,958 --> 00:45:41,958
So, I'd wake up,
and I'd go train,
950
00:45:41,958 --> 00:45:43,333
and I'd come back,
and she'd still be
951
00:45:43,333 --> 00:45:45,208
in the bed sleeping,
like 18-year-olds do, man.
952
00:45:45,208 --> 00:45:48,541
She'd sleep 'til, like, 12,
1 o'clock in the afternoon, man.
953
00:45:48,541 --> 00:45:49,791
And then I'd lay down
with her,
954
00:45:49,791 --> 00:45:52,833
and I'd go to sleep
again, too.
955
00:45:52,833 --> 00:45:55,208
And then, uh,
we'd wake up
956
00:45:55,208 --> 00:45:57,583
and just, you know,
do what kids do,
957
00:45:57,583 --> 00:45:59,833
do what kids do.
958
00:45:59,833 --> 00:46:01,250
I'd take her to
the batting cage,
959
00:46:01,250 --> 00:46:02,083
we'd go hit
some balls.
960
00:46:02,083 --> 00:46:04,750
And we'd play
miniature golf.
961
00:46:04,750 --> 00:46:05,833
You know?
962
00:46:05,833 --> 00:46:06,875
Go to the movies.
963
00:46:06,875 --> 00:46:07,833
We'd go out
to eat.
964
00:46:07,833 --> 00:46:12,125
It was just--It was
a beautiful time, man.
965
00:46:24,083 --> 00:46:24,750
We had Natalia,
it was like,
966
00:46:24,750 --> 00:46:27,333
such a beautiful moment.
967
00:46:28,750 --> 00:46:29,791
You know?
968
00:46:29,791 --> 00:46:30,916
Because we were starting
our own family.
969
00:46:30,916 --> 00:46:35,625
And I found so much
enjoyment in just being with
970
00:46:35,625 --> 00:46:38,416
our baby girl.
971
00:46:39,458 --> 00:46:41,500
It was great putting
together the nursery,
972
00:46:41,500 --> 00:46:45,666
and you know,
the crib,
973
00:46:45,666 --> 00:46:48,958
and all those weird
Baby Einstein
974
00:46:48,958 --> 00:46:51,041
Baby Mozart videos where
975
00:46:51,041 --> 00:46:55,458
you're kind of just
hypnotizing your kid.
976
00:46:55,458 --> 00:46:57,875
Like, we went through
all of that, um,
977
00:46:57,875 --> 00:46:59,916
all of that stuff,
and...
978
00:46:59,916 --> 00:47:01,958
and, um...
979
00:47:02,750 --> 00:47:05,375
You know, when you're
young,
980
00:47:05,375 --> 00:47:08,541
you really have the tendency
to think about
981
00:47:08,541 --> 00:47:12,208
your own personal
journey.
982
00:47:12,208 --> 00:47:15,000
And for us,
983
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,541
it was about taking
two young people
984
00:47:17,541 --> 00:47:21,000
and trying to
figure out
985
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,000
our journey together
986
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,916
and try to
grow together,
987
00:47:25,916 --> 00:47:28,041
which is a
challenge.
988
00:47:29,166 --> 00:47:31,083
But when you
have a kid,
989
00:47:31,083 --> 00:47:35,125
then it becomes even
bigger than that
990
00:47:35,125 --> 00:47:39,625
because now you have
the responsibility of
991
00:47:39,625 --> 00:47:43,875
this little life that
you have to mold.
992
00:47:50,541 --> 00:47:52,791
Going through this time
993
00:47:52,791 --> 00:47:54,583
made me ask a lot
of questions.
994
00:47:54,583 --> 00:47:55,625
Um...
995
00:47:58,083 --> 00:47:59,833
and really try to figure out
what's important in life
996
00:47:59,833 --> 00:48:01,333
and what's...
997
00:48:05,083 --> 00:48:07,125
You know, everything that
I've kind of been holding
998
00:48:09,250 --> 00:48:11,250
as significant,
999
00:48:11,250 --> 00:48:14,250
the championships,
1000
00:48:14,250 --> 00:48:15,500
the endorsements,
1001
00:48:16,500 --> 00:48:17,666
um...
1002
00:48:18,833 --> 00:48:20,125
maybe that's not the
most important thing.
1003
00:48:23,125 --> 00:48:25,333
I lost sight of
1004
00:48:25,333 --> 00:48:26,708
what is the most
important thing
1005
00:48:26,708 --> 00:48:28,125
and that's family.
1006
00:48:28,125 --> 00:48:30,125
It's a man's job
to protect your family.
1007
00:48:30,125 --> 00:48:32,083
It's the man's job to look out
for your family.
1008
00:48:32,083 --> 00:48:33,333
It's the man's job
to always be
1009
00:48:33,333 --> 00:48:35,833
the anchor of stability
for the family.
1010
00:48:36,958 --> 00:48:38,583
And, uh...
1011
00:48:38,583 --> 00:48:41,083
in that aspect,
I failed miserably.
1012
00:48:48,416 --> 00:48:50,583
I'd wake up in the
morning and
1013
00:48:50,583 --> 00:48:51,833
not know if, like,
today's the day
1014
00:48:51,833 --> 00:48:54,708
where, like,
I lose my family.
1015
00:48:54,708 --> 00:48:57,125
Is this the day
where it's a wrap?
1016
00:48:57,125 --> 00:48:58,041
You know?
1017
00:48:58,041 --> 00:49:01,166
Like, she's just had
enough.
1018
00:49:03,958 --> 00:49:05,291
One of the things
that she said,
1019
00:49:05,291 --> 00:49:08,041
she said, "You know,
1020
00:49:08,041 --> 00:49:11,541
"during that time,
I hated your guts.
1021
00:49:13,208 --> 00:49:15,666
"But it wasn't
about you.
1022
00:49:15,666 --> 00:49:16,875
"It was about Natalia.
1023
00:49:16,875 --> 00:49:19,541
"It was about
the fact that
1024
00:49:19,541 --> 00:49:22,916
"I didn't want--
1025
00:49:22,916 --> 00:49:24,250
"I wanted to do everything
possible to try to
1026
00:49:24,250 --> 00:49:26,708
"figure this thing out because I
didn't want her growing up
1027
00:49:26,708 --> 00:49:30,250
"in a broken home."
1028
00:49:30,250 --> 00:49:31,708
And things would have
been really easy for her
1029
00:49:31,708 --> 00:49:35,250
to leave, actually,
1030
00:49:35,250 --> 00:49:37,333
especially during
that time.
1031
00:49:37,333 --> 00:49:39,083
It would've been
much easier to leave.
1032
00:49:40,583 --> 00:49:43,666
You leave, you take
half the money,
1033
00:49:43,666 --> 00:49:45,791
you have your
daughter,
1034
00:49:45,791 --> 00:49:47,750
life's, life's--
1035
00:49:48,166 --> 00:49:49,041
She's good.
1036
00:49:51,916 --> 00:49:54,125
But she didn't
do that.
1037
00:49:57,416 --> 00:50:01,125
We were expecting,
and, um,
1038
00:50:03,125 --> 00:50:04,125
um...
1039
00:50:05,541 --> 00:50:07,125
expecting our second
child during that time.
1040
00:50:07,125 --> 00:50:09,916
There was just
so much,
1041
00:50:09,916 --> 00:50:11,791
so much stress.
1042
00:50:11,791 --> 00:50:14,916
Um, she actually,
she, um, you know,
1043
00:50:14,916 --> 00:50:16,291
she, uh...
1044
00:50:16,291 --> 00:50:17,875
we actually miscarried.
1045
00:50:17,875 --> 00:50:21,625
And, um,
you know...
1046
00:50:24,083 --> 00:50:24,166
and, uh...
1047
00:50:27,083 --> 00:50:28,291
you know...
1048
00:50:30,625 --> 00:50:32,625
that's something...
1049
00:50:36,791 --> 00:50:39,625
I have a real hard
time dealing with that,
1050
00:50:39,625 --> 00:50:42,250
you know, because
1051
00:50:42,250 --> 00:50:43,791
I felt like it was
just my fault.
1052
00:50:43,791 --> 00:50:46,000
You know what
I mean?
1053
00:50:51,083 --> 00:50:52,916
Like, we should be
building our family.
1054
00:50:52,916 --> 00:50:54,375
Because of my mistake...
1055
00:50:58,791 --> 00:51:00,833
because of this
tough year,
1056
00:51:00,833 --> 00:51:03,333
um, we're not, um,
1057
00:51:04,708 --> 00:51:07,291
we lost a baby,
you know?
1058
00:51:07,291 --> 00:51:08,125
And...
1059
00:51:10,625 --> 00:51:12,750
um...
1060
00:51:15,458 --> 00:51:17,750
it's, uh...
1061
00:51:26,375 --> 00:51:27,500
um...
1062
00:51:30,958 --> 00:51:31,333
we, uh,
1063
00:51:35,458 --> 00:51:36,083
try to justify
the fact that,
1064
00:51:36,083 --> 00:51:38,500
you know, it's,
uh...
1065
00:51:39,916 --> 00:51:43,000
you know, realize how common
miscarriages are
1066
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:45,250
and, like, these
things happen,
1067
00:51:45,250 --> 00:51:47,375
and, like,
1068
00:51:47,375 --> 00:51:48,375
um...
1069
00:51:50,375 --> 00:51:52,041
it's part of
the process,
1070
00:51:54,041 --> 00:51:56,333
but the reality is it
happened because of me.
1071
00:51:58,041 --> 00:51:59,208
That's the reality
of it.
1072
00:52:01,375 --> 00:52:03,250
And, uh,
1073
00:52:04,416 --> 00:52:07,291
that's something I have
to deal with.
1074
00:52:07,291 --> 00:52:09,416
That's something I gotta
carry forever.
1075
00:52:21,416 --> 00:52:24,250
At two o'clock, three o'clock
in the morning,
1076
00:52:24,250 --> 00:52:25,375
I would drive.
1077
00:52:25,375 --> 00:52:27,250
I'd leave the house
and I'd go to the park.
1078
00:52:29,875 --> 00:52:32,375
And I'd just sit
in the court.
1079
00:52:35,833 --> 00:52:36,375
I'd just sit there.
1080
00:52:39,041 --> 00:52:41,000
I was sitting
on the basketball,
1081
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,958
and I was just
looking out.
1082
00:52:43,958 --> 00:52:44,916
I was looking up
at the stars,
1083
00:52:44,916 --> 00:52:46,458
I was looking
at the basket
1084
00:52:46,458 --> 00:52:47,458
and just kind of
looking around.
1085
00:52:47,458 --> 00:52:49,958
And, um,
1086
00:52:49,958 --> 00:52:51,666
and then I saw
myself.
1087
00:52:51,666 --> 00:52:53,125
I saw myself,
1088
00:52:53,125 --> 00:52:55,250
eight-year-old self
sitting in front of me
1089
00:52:55,250 --> 00:52:57,583
on a ball.
1090
00:52:57,583 --> 00:53:00,625
And then I thought,
1091
00:53:00,625 --> 00:53:02,333
"What would I
say to me?"
1092
00:53:02,791 --> 00:53:05,958
Knowing now
1093
00:53:05,958 --> 00:53:09,000
all the pain
1094
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:12,333
that I would
go through...
1095
00:53:15,541 --> 00:53:17,916
that my family
would go through,
1096
00:53:17,916 --> 00:53:20,166
I don't know
if I'd
1097
00:53:20,166 --> 00:53:22,333
keep playing
the game.
1098
00:53:36,458 --> 00:53:38,125
man on radio: Even despite
his great competitive nature,
1099
00:53:38,125 --> 00:53:41,791
his will to win,
his work ethic,
1100
00:53:41,791 --> 00:53:43,208
you can't expect him
to be the same
1101
00:53:43,208 --> 00:53:47,666
dominant force at
36 and 37
1102
00:53:47,666 --> 00:53:50,541
as he was at
26 and 27.
1103
00:53:50,541 --> 00:53:52,833
As Mark Jackson always
said to me,
1104
00:53:52,833 --> 00:53:54,666
"Father Time is
undefeated."
1105
00:53:54,666 --> 00:53:56,208
And it's the truth.
1106
00:54:14,041 --> 00:54:15,208
[groans softly]
1107
00:55:38,250 --> 00:55:42,083
In 2003, I went
from a person that
1108
00:55:42,083 --> 00:55:44,416
was at the top
of his game,
1109
00:55:44,416 --> 00:55:48,000
had everything
coming
1110
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:50,916
to, a year later,
1111
00:55:50,916 --> 00:55:54,541
having absolutely
no idea
1112
00:55:54,541 --> 00:55:56,208
where life is going,
1113
00:55:56,208 --> 00:55:58,791
or if you're going to
be able to even
1114
00:55:58,791 --> 00:56:02,708
be a part of life as
we all know it.
1115
00:56:02,708 --> 00:56:05,500
[crowd chanting,
"Kobe sucks"]
1116
00:56:12,291 --> 00:56:14,250
I hear everything that
the crowd is saying,
1117
00:56:14,250 --> 00:56:17,833
and I hear, um,
1118
00:56:17,833 --> 00:56:19,541
I hear it.
1119
00:56:19,541 --> 00:56:21,291
So, it's like this
place where
1120
00:56:21,291 --> 00:56:24,041
it was my refuge
1121
00:56:24,041 --> 00:56:28,000
is now being
bombarded with
1122
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:33,125
all kinds of things
that they would say.
1123
00:56:33,125 --> 00:56:35,625
And I had to
separate myself
1124
00:56:35,625 --> 00:56:38,375
because going through
that time
1125
00:56:38,375 --> 00:56:40,708
I felt like there's
so many things
1126
00:56:40,708 --> 00:56:43,791
coming at once and just
becoming very, very confusing.
1127
00:56:43,791 --> 00:56:45,791
I had to organize
things.
1128
00:56:45,791 --> 00:56:49,125
So, I created the
"Black Mamba."
1129
00:56:49,125 --> 00:56:52,041
announcer: Kobe...
got it at the buzzer!
1130
00:56:52,916 --> 00:56:56,125
Mamba, as he's known as,
the killer black snake,
1131
00:56:56,125 --> 00:56:58,958
has the killer look
in his eyes right now.
1132
00:56:58,958 --> 00:57:02,291
So, Kobe has to deal
with these issues,
1133
00:57:02,291 --> 00:57:05,083
all the personal
challenges.
1134
00:57:05,083 --> 00:57:08,833
The Black Mamba
1135
00:57:08,833 --> 00:57:11,833
steps on the court and
does what he does.
1136
00:57:11,833 --> 00:57:14,500
announcer: Kobe, three,
at the buzzer !
1137
00:57:14,500 --> 00:57:16,166
The Mamba.
1138
00:57:16,166 --> 00:57:18,041
See the venom that
he's spewing.
1139
00:57:18,041 --> 00:57:19,500
Bryant: I mean,
it was...
1140
00:57:19,500 --> 00:57:22,166
fuck everyone.
1141
00:57:22,166 --> 00:57:26,000
I'm destroying everybody
that stepped on the court.
1142
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:27,166
announcer: Kobe with it,
guarded by Patterson,
1143
00:57:27,166 --> 00:57:28,291
staying outside the arc,
dribbling.
1144
00:57:28,291 --> 00:57:30,791
Patterson keeps his feet.
1145
00:57:30,791 --> 00:57:31,250
Kobe...oh!
1146
00:57:31,250 --> 00:57:34,416
He made it!
1147
00:57:34,416 --> 00:57:35,125
He threw it in!
1148
00:57:35,125 --> 00:57:38,958
He's torching whomever...
1149
00:57:38,958 --> 00:57:39,916
One second remaining
in the regular season.
1150
00:57:39,916 --> 00:57:41,125
Out to Kobe...
1151
00:57:43,291 --> 00:57:46,166
Oh! What a way
to play!
1152
00:57:46,166 --> 00:57:48,333
Are you kiddin' me?!
1153
00:57:48,333 --> 00:57:51,333
And the Lakers have won
the Pacific Division title.
1154
00:57:51,333 --> 00:57:54,458
I had all this
pent up
1155
00:57:54,458 --> 00:57:57,291
frustration that I just
needed to let out.
1156
00:58:03,041 --> 00:58:04,583
It was an avalanche,
man.
1157
00:58:04,583 --> 00:58:05,458
And, you know,
there was nothing
1158
00:58:05,458 --> 00:58:06,583
that was going to
get in the way.
1159
00:58:06,583 --> 00:58:08,958
There was nothing that
was gonna stop me.
1160
00:58:11,416 --> 00:58:13,166
announcer: Kobe Bryant!
1161
00:58:17,458 --> 00:58:19,208
It's the battle that's
going on within me
1162
00:58:19,208 --> 00:58:20,208
that I'm carrying with me
to these games competitions,
1163
00:58:20,208 --> 00:58:22,333
so it's not about you.
1164
00:58:22,333 --> 00:58:24,166
It's not about anybody
else.
1165
00:58:24,166 --> 00:58:25,666
You're not making
me go.
1166
00:58:25,666 --> 00:58:27,833
I'm driving this thing,
man, and you just so happen
1167
00:58:27,833 --> 00:58:31,625
to be a person that's in
the way that's, you know,
1168
00:58:31,625 --> 00:58:34,375
that may get demolished
in the process.
1169
00:58:34,375 --> 00:58:42,083
[indistinct
commentary]
1170
00:58:42,083 --> 00:58:44,000
announcer: Kobe's got
57.
1171
00:58:45,375 --> 00:58:47,291
Sixty-seven
points!
1172
00:58:48,250 --> 00:58:49,208
Yes!
1173
00:58:50,125 --> 00:58:50,875
That makes
seventy.
1174
00:58:50,875 --> 00:58:53,708
[cheering,
commentary]
1175
00:59:07,250 --> 00:59:09,541
And an 81-point
game!
1176
00:59:09,541 --> 00:59:11,708
Ladies and Gentlemen,
you have witnessed
1177
00:59:11,708 --> 00:59:14,083
the second-greatest
scoring performance
1178
00:59:14,083 --> 00:59:16,708
in NBA history.
1179
00:59:19,208 --> 00:59:20,000
Some people sit
there and say,
1180
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:21,666
"Y'all keep talking
about Kobe
1181
00:59:21,666 --> 00:59:24,625
"being the greatest player
in the game today.
1182
00:59:24,625 --> 00:59:27,500
"Y'all don't realize that
Kobe trying to be
1183
00:59:27,500 --> 00:59:30,208
arguably the greatest
ever."
1184
00:59:30,208 --> 00:59:32,291
Your response?
1185
00:59:32,291 --> 00:59:34,250
I gotta get a couple
more rings.
1186
00:59:34,250 --> 00:59:34,916
host: Mmm-hmm.
1187
00:59:34,916 --> 00:59:36,625
Are you
going to?
1188
00:59:36,625 --> 00:59:37,625
You know what?
1189
00:59:37,625 --> 00:59:39,375
I won't rest
until we do.
1190
00:59:39,375 --> 00:59:41,666
I wanted to prove
to myself
1191
00:59:41,666 --> 00:59:43,333
that I could win
under, you know,
1192
00:59:43,333 --> 00:59:46,625
a different role,
so to speak.
1193
00:59:46,625 --> 00:59:49,833
Looking at these incredible
teams that have been assembled,
1194
00:59:49,833 --> 00:59:52,541
and there's always
a dynamic duo.
1195
00:59:52,541 --> 00:59:56,333
And when that duo
went separate ways,
1196
00:59:56,333 --> 01:00:00,333
one was never able to
win without the other.
1197
01:00:00,333 --> 01:00:02,291
And I just felt like
it was really important
1198
01:00:02,291 --> 01:00:06,666
for myself, as well as for the
challenge from others,
1199
01:00:06,666 --> 01:00:09,791
just to prove that I can
lead this team my way.
1200
01:00:09,791 --> 01:00:12,041
I can put my DNA
on the team
1201
01:00:12,041 --> 01:00:14,625
and carry them
to a championship.
1202
01:00:14,625 --> 01:00:17,333
announcer: The buzz is back
in Boston.
1203
01:00:17,333 --> 01:00:18,708
Celtics fans have
waited 21 years
1204
01:00:18,708 --> 01:00:20,666
for this moment,
a chance to play
1205
01:00:20,666 --> 01:00:22,625
for their 17th championship.
1206
01:00:22,625 --> 01:00:24,958
[chanting "Beat L.A."]
1207
01:00:27,750 --> 01:00:29,166
But look who's standing
in the way,
1208
01:00:29,166 --> 01:00:30,791
the NBA's MVP,
Kobe Bryant and the Lakers.
1209
01:00:30,791 --> 01:00:34,000
The greatest rivalry in the
history of the sport
1210
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:35,708
is ready for its
next chapter.
1211
01:00:35,708 --> 01:00:36,375
commentator: Kobe's led the
league in scoring,
1212
01:00:36,375 --> 01:00:38,666
he's won all-star MVPs,
1213
01:00:38,666 --> 01:00:39,541
he's won championships.
1214
01:00:39,541 --> 01:00:40,958
But he's different this
year, Magic.
1215
01:00:40,958 --> 01:00:41,458
What's the best advice
you gave him
1216
01:00:41,458 --> 01:00:43,291
before the season?
1217
01:00:43,291 --> 01:00:44,541
Well, I pulled him
aside and said,
1218
01:00:44,541 --> 01:00:45,791
"Hey, if you wanna be
considered like
Michael Jordan,
1219
01:00:45,791 --> 01:00:48,666
"you have to now make
your teammates better,
1220
01:00:48,666 --> 01:00:50,625
"you have to become
a better leader,
1221
01:00:50,625 --> 01:00:52,791
"and then you have to
trust your teammates."
1222
01:00:52,791 --> 01:00:53,666
He's taken the guys
out to dinner
1223
01:00:53,666 --> 01:00:55,833
three or four times
this year.
1224
01:00:55,833 --> 01:00:57,041
He never did
that before.
1225
01:00:57,041 --> 01:00:58,125
No, never did
that before.
1226
01:00:58,125 --> 01:00:59,208
Look at him now.
1227
01:00:59,208 --> 01:01:01,958
That's why they're
in the championships.
1228
01:01:08,583 --> 01:01:09,625
announcer: Gets inside,
and the finish.
1229
01:01:09,625 --> 01:01:11,833
Bryant: We weren't naturally
assholes.
1230
01:01:11,833 --> 01:01:15,750
We ran into a team that
was, though.
1231
01:01:15,750 --> 01:01:18,083
They were just
much, much tougher,
1232
01:01:18,083 --> 01:01:20,666
much meaner,
much nastier.
1233
01:01:22,250 --> 01:01:24,041
And they whooped
us pretty good.
1234
01:01:26,083 --> 01:01:29,416
[buzzer, cheering]
1235
01:01:29,416 --> 01:01:32,083
announcer: After a 22-year
absence,
1236
01:01:32,083 --> 01:01:36,333
the Boston Celtics are
NBA Champions once again.
1237
01:01:36,333 --> 01:01:39,083
[cheering, music]
1238
01:01:44,250 --> 01:01:47,541
I overcompensated
for how I
1239
01:01:47,541 --> 01:01:48,750
drove my teammates.
1240
01:01:48,750 --> 01:01:49,833
It was, um,
1241
01:01:49,833 --> 01:01:52,916
thinking maybe I was
too hard on them,
1242
01:01:52,916 --> 01:01:55,666
and so, throughout
the course of the year,
1243
01:01:55,666 --> 01:01:57,666
I didn't challenge
them enough.
1244
01:01:57,666 --> 01:02:01,625
It was just about not being
as gregarious,
1245
01:02:01,625 --> 01:02:03,291
putting my arm around
you even when you fuck up,
1246
01:02:03,291 --> 01:02:06,041
"Oh, you're doing great,
you're doing great."
1247
01:02:06,041 --> 01:02:08,708
That's just not me.
1248
01:02:14,125 --> 01:02:15,250
reporter: Kobe, you won
the MVP,
1249
01:02:15,250 --> 01:02:16,541
you led the team to
the finals.
1250
01:02:16,541 --> 01:02:19,083
How do you characterize
this season?
1251
01:02:21,541 --> 01:02:23,833
Well, I mean, the goal was
to win a championship.
1252
01:02:23,833 --> 01:02:28,333
It wasn't to win MVP
or anything like that.
1253
01:02:28,333 --> 01:02:29,125
It was to win a
championship,
1254
01:02:29,125 --> 01:02:31,958
so from that aspect,
we failed.
1255
01:02:31,958 --> 01:02:35,083
If I'm gonna go down,
I'm gonna go down my way
1256
01:02:35,083 --> 01:02:37,250
and leading my way.
1257
01:02:37,250 --> 01:02:39,750
And this team is gonna
have my personality,
1258
01:02:39,750 --> 01:02:40,666
they're gonna have
my grit.
1259
01:02:40,666 --> 01:02:42,541
They're gonna have
my fight,
1260
01:02:42,541 --> 01:02:46,125
they're gonna have my will and
my competitive spirit.
1261
01:02:47,833 --> 01:02:49,666
So, when we step on
that basketball court,
1262
01:02:49,666 --> 01:02:51,791
you're not facing me and
just my competitive fire,
1263
01:02:51,791 --> 01:02:54,791
but you're facing, you know,
twelve of those.
1264
01:02:55,916 --> 01:02:59,000
And the challenge became:
how do I get that done?
1265
01:03:04,666 --> 01:03:07,625
For me, it is that ferocity or
that anger, rage,
1266
01:03:07,625 --> 01:03:10,208
and I can carry
that with me.
1267
01:03:10,208 --> 01:03:13,500
Now, I have to instill this to
the rest of my guys
1268
01:03:13,500 --> 01:03:14,833
and to the rest of
my teammates.
1269
01:03:16,833 --> 01:03:19,000
Using the darker
emotions,
1270
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:24,708
the anger or resentment
or frustration and
1271
01:03:24,708 --> 01:03:32,958
sadness and using that
as a weapon,
1272
01:03:32,958 --> 01:03:37,875
using that as a
form of offense.
1273
01:03:38,916 --> 01:03:40,166
It's a scar.
1274
01:03:40,166 --> 01:03:41,291
It's pain.
1275
01:03:41,291 --> 01:03:42,583
It's a bad memory.
1276
01:03:43,416 --> 01:03:44,208
Some people are
probably afraid
1277
01:03:44,208 --> 01:03:45,916
to tap into that
side of them,
1278
01:03:45,916 --> 01:03:48,083
but it's such a
powerful thing.
1279
01:03:48,083 --> 01:03:50,583
Because once they
own it themselves,
1280
01:03:50,583 --> 01:03:52,375
then the sky
is the limit
1281
01:03:52,375 --> 01:03:54,958
because they're going
to drive themselves
1282
01:03:54,958 --> 01:03:56,958
and pull it from
who they are
1283
01:03:56,958 --> 01:03:57,833
and all of their
life experiences
1284
01:03:57,833 --> 01:04:00,416
and things that
have motivated them.
1285
01:04:00,416 --> 01:04:06,958
[indistinct argument]
1286
01:04:08,541 --> 01:04:10,125
I just started
driving them,
1287
01:04:10,125 --> 01:04:12,083
needling them.
1288
01:04:12,083 --> 01:04:12,583
Right?
1289
01:04:12,583 --> 01:04:13,875
Pushing them.
1290
01:04:17,875 --> 01:04:19,041
announcer: The smoke has
cleared
1291
01:04:19,041 --> 01:04:20,666
and two remain
standing.
1292
01:04:20,666 --> 01:04:23,958
the Lakers and Magic tipping
off the '09 NBA Finals
in L.A.
1293
01:04:23,958 --> 01:04:26,208
announcer 2: Kobe Bryant
as focused
1294
01:04:26,208 --> 01:04:28,750
as I have ever seen him
in his entire career.
1295
01:04:28,750 --> 01:04:31,291
You talk about a guy
with one mindset,
1296
01:04:31,291 --> 01:04:31,958
that's to win.
1297
01:04:31,958 --> 01:04:35,166
[clicking with
his mouth]
1298
01:04:36,125 --> 01:04:37,083
Pau.
1299
01:04:37,083 --> 01:04:38,333
Pau: Yo. What's up?
1300
01:04:38,333 --> 01:04:39,583
Ready?
1301
01:04:42,125 --> 01:04:44,875
announcer: Bryant looks inside,
finds Gasol.
1302
01:04:44,875 --> 01:04:46,625
Gasol...count it!
1303
01:04:46,625 --> 01:04:49,083
They had to embrace
the villain nature
1304
01:04:49,083 --> 01:04:50,750
that's in all
of us.
1305
01:04:50,750 --> 01:04:52,708
It gave them a platform
to unleash.
1306
01:04:52,708 --> 01:04:55,958
announcer: Another steal.
Odom to Gasol,
1307
01:04:55,958 --> 01:04:56,791
back to Odom.
1308
01:04:56,791 --> 01:04:57,833
Up and under and
banks in.
1309
01:04:57,833 --> 01:05:00,875
What a run
for the Lakers.
1310
01:05:05,291 --> 01:05:06,083
...spins it away.
1311
01:05:06,083 --> 01:05:07,791
Beautiful pass.
Gasol!
1312
01:05:07,791 --> 01:05:08,916
Right-hand dunk.
1313
01:05:08,916 --> 01:05:10,416
87-84.
1314
01:05:23,500 --> 01:05:25,750
Derek Fisher with
another clutch 3!
1315
01:05:33,500 --> 01:05:35,416
The buzzer sounds,
it's official:
1316
01:05:35,416 --> 01:05:37,708
The Lakers are NBA
Champions once again.
1317
01:05:37,708 --> 01:05:40,166
Congratulations,
Kobe Bryant,
1318
01:05:40,166 --> 01:05:42,666
your fourth NBA
Championship.
1319
01:05:42,666 --> 01:05:44,458
How are you different
as a man and a player
1320
01:05:44,458 --> 01:05:45,875
than you were seven
years ago,
1321
01:05:45,875 --> 01:05:46,833
the last time you
won a championship?
1322
01:05:46,833 --> 01:05:48,833
I think you just
get better,
1323
01:05:48,833 --> 01:05:50,458
you just grow as a person,
you grow as a man,
1324
01:05:50,458 --> 01:05:52,250
and, you know, you just
try to figure out
1325
01:05:52,250 --> 01:05:53,166
the best way to
lead these guys.
1326
01:06:19,833 --> 01:06:22,625
announcer: The most storied
NBA rivalry, renewed:
1327
01:06:22,625 --> 01:06:25,166
the Lakers and Celtics.
1328
01:06:26,375 --> 01:06:30,375
Kobe Bryant, hungry for
title number five, personally,
1329
01:06:30,375 --> 01:06:32,541
but number sixteen
for his franchise.
1330
01:06:32,541 --> 01:06:35,458
The Lakers have kind of
played flag football.
1331
01:06:35,458 --> 01:06:37,708
They better get ready for
tackle football tonight
1332
01:06:37,708 --> 01:06:40,375
because the Boston Celtics
are gonna hit them.
1333
01:06:40,375 --> 01:06:42,500
How are the Lakers
going to react?
1334
01:06:43,458 --> 01:06:45,333
Pierce and Artest already
battling.
1335
01:06:45,333 --> 01:06:49,458
It took 27 seconds for
these two to go at it a bit.
1336
01:06:49,458 --> 01:06:52,041
The proposition of losing
to these guys in the finals
1337
01:06:52,041 --> 01:06:55,416
again and knowing what
that means as a Laker fan
1338
01:06:55,416 --> 01:06:58,500
and having watched Jerry West
lose to the Celtics
1339
01:06:58,500 --> 01:07:00,166
over and over and
over again
1340
01:07:00,166 --> 01:07:01,166
and the duel between
Magic and Bird,
1341
01:07:01,166 --> 01:07:04,583
and now I am part of
this incredible rivalry
1342
01:07:04,583 --> 01:07:07,166
and what's gonna be
said about us,
1343
01:07:07,166 --> 01:07:10,208
this team, is that we lost
to the Celtics twice.
1344
01:07:12,208 --> 01:07:13,750
I don't think so.
1345
01:08:10,166 --> 01:08:11,500
announcer: Artest,
that's a 3.
1346
01:08:11,500 --> 01:08:11,958
Bam!
1347
01:08:11,958 --> 01:08:14,291
[crowd cheering]
1348
01:08:14,291 --> 01:08:17,457
Lakers by six with
a minute to play!
1349
01:08:19,833 --> 01:08:31,625
[indistinct
commentary]
1350
01:08:31,625 --> 01:08:35,207
The Lakers win
back-to-back titles!
1351
01:08:35,207 --> 01:08:39,542
The L.A. Lakers are
the 2010 NBA Champions.
1352
01:08:56,417 --> 01:08:58,082
After we did that,
we have a bond now
1353
01:08:58,082 --> 01:09:00,667
that unites us
forever.
1354
01:09:01,833 --> 01:09:02,917
Forever.
1355
01:09:02,917 --> 01:09:05,291
We have a bond that'll
never be broken because...
1356
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:11,000
the lion looked us
in the face,
1357
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:13,625
and we looked back.
[laughs]
1358
01:09:34,041 --> 01:09:36,582
The challenge was not
only to win one,
1359
01:09:36,582 --> 01:09:38,250
but it was to win
multiple wins
1360
01:09:38,250 --> 01:09:41,708
and to be able to sit at
the same lunch table
1361
01:09:41,708 --> 01:09:43,875
with my muses,
1362
01:09:43,875 --> 01:09:46,917
Michael, Magic.
1363
01:09:46,917 --> 01:09:49,917
I wanna be able to sit down
at the same table with them
1364
01:09:49,917 --> 01:09:52,207
and belong there.
1365
01:09:52,207 --> 01:09:56,542
And I'm very proud to be
able to say I can do that.
1366
01:10:05,667 --> 01:10:06,917
commentator: I do think with
Kobe there is
1367
01:10:06,917 --> 01:10:09,166
a whole lot of pride in it,
just as there's pride
1368
01:10:09,166 --> 01:10:10,417
in a lot of players,
1369
01:10:10,417 --> 01:10:13,833
but that if his level dips,
and he's just another guy,
1370
01:10:13,833 --> 01:10:16,750
eh, I don't think he wants any
part of that at all.
1371
01:10:38,792 --> 01:10:40,958
[grunts in frustration]
1372
01:10:43,500 --> 01:10:44,667
Ah!
1373
01:11:48,542 --> 01:11:49,500
It's constant stretching,
1374
01:11:49,500 --> 01:11:50,291
it's constant ice baths,
1375
01:11:50,291 --> 01:11:54,667
it's constant modalities
and
1376
01:11:54,667 --> 01:11:57,750
massage and eating
the right things,
1377
01:11:57,750 --> 01:12:00,041
drinking the
right things.
1378
01:12:00,041 --> 01:12:01,625
It's a lifestyle,
you know?
1379
01:12:01,625 --> 01:12:03,833
It's a full-time
commitment.
1380
01:12:05,166 --> 01:12:07,332
And, you know, I'm no
spring chicken.
1381
01:12:07,332 --> 01:12:07,833
You know?
1382
01:12:07,833 --> 01:12:10,207
But that's okay.
1383
01:12:10,207 --> 01:12:11,500
I can figure my
way around it.
1384
01:12:32,582 --> 01:12:35,207
commentator: This is going
to be, for all intents
and purposes,
1385
01:12:35,207 --> 01:12:38,082
the first time we have
seen Kobe Bryant
1386
01:12:38,082 --> 01:12:39,457
since tearing
the Achilles.
1387
01:12:41,542 --> 01:12:44,041
This is, hopefully,
the foundation
1388
01:12:44,041 --> 01:12:45,250
for Kobe moving
forward,
1389
01:12:45,250 --> 01:12:47,875
recovering from
that injury,
1390
01:12:47,875 --> 01:12:48,875
and as he will
tell you,
1391
01:12:48,875 --> 01:12:51,291
he is stoked out of his mind
to be there.
1392
01:12:55,332 --> 01:12:57,082
Bryant: I can feel
energy in the building,
1393
01:12:57,082 --> 01:12:59,917
the sounds of the
cameras flashing,
1394
01:12:59,917 --> 01:13:02,082
the smell, the popcorn,
1395
01:13:02,082 --> 01:13:05,082
the sounds of people
walking around,
1396
01:13:05,082 --> 01:13:08,082
preparing for the game.
1397
01:13:11,582 --> 01:13:14,750
You can feel the intensity
in the air.
1398
01:13:14,750 --> 01:13:15,833
Whoo!
1399
01:13:19,082 --> 01:13:22,457
Bryant: There's an energy that
you can tap into,
1400
01:13:22,457 --> 01:13:25,166
like a frequency that
you can tap into.
1401
01:13:25,166 --> 01:13:25,708
What time is it?
1402
01:13:25,708 --> 01:13:26,082
others: Game time!
1403
01:13:26,082 --> 01:13:27,582
all: Whoo!
1404
01:13:27,582 --> 01:13:29,917
Bryant: And once you
feel it,
1405
01:13:29,917 --> 01:13:32,250
then everything
becomes you
1406
01:13:32,250 --> 01:13:34,332
and you become
everything.
1407
01:13:34,332 --> 01:13:39,375
[cheering and yelling]
1408
01:13:49,500 --> 01:13:50,082
stadium announcer:
And the other guard,
1409
01:13:50,082 --> 01:13:51,082
here's number 24.
1410
01:13:51,082 --> 01:13:54,166
Six-six, 19 seasons,
1411
01:13:54,166 --> 01:13:56,000
from Lower Merion
High School...
1412
01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:57,500
Kobe Bryant.
1413
01:14:03,625 --> 01:14:04,958
Bryant: I love
what I do.
1414
01:14:04,958 --> 01:14:05,792
It's as simple
as that.
1415
01:14:05,792 --> 01:14:07,582
There's...
1416
01:14:10,125 --> 01:14:11,125
I get so much
enjoyment
1417
01:14:11,125 --> 01:14:12,750
from it.
1418
01:14:27,082 --> 01:14:29,041
The game has made me
a better man,
1419
01:14:29,041 --> 01:14:30,582
a better husband,
a better father,
1420
01:14:30,582 --> 01:14:31,917
you know, a better friend,
1421
01:14:31,917 --> 01:14:33,708
you know, a better teacher.
1422
01:14:36,417 --> 01:14:40,375
It's helped me figure
out who I am.
1423
01:14:44,082 --> 01:14:46,750
[fans yelling for Kobe]
1424
01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:49,375
Hes been my confidante,
he's been my best friend,
1425
01:14:49,375 --> 01:14:51,125
psychiatrist, everything.
1426
01:14:56,207 --> 01:14:58,667
It's the seed that started
everything for me.
1427
01:14:58,667 --> 01:15:00,375
Everything grew
from this ball.
1428
01:15:00,375 --> 01:15:03,708
[coach talking
in the background]
1429
01:15:06,457 --> 01:15:08,000
announcer: In his 19th year
in the NBA,
1430
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:10,207
that man right there,
Kobe Bryant,
1431
01:15:10,207 --> 01:15:16,207
stands at 32,291 points,
one behind Michael Jordan
1432
01:15:16,207 --> 01:15:18,125
for third all-time
on the scoring list.
1433
01:15:18,125 --> 01:15:19,792
The crowd on its feet.
1434
01:15:19,792 --> 01:15:21,792
[crowd cheering]
1435
01:15:35,542 --> 01:15:36,750
Step aside, MJ,
1436
01:15:36,750 --> 01:15:38,582
the Mamba has moved
right on by you.
1437
01:15:38,582 --> 01:15:42,082
Kobe Bryant has passed
Michael Jordan,
1438
01:15:42,082 --> 01:15:43,457
and is now number three
1439
01:15:43,457 --> 01:15:49,417
on the NBA's all-time
scoring list.
1440
01:16:00,958 --> 01:16:02,125
Bryant: As I sit
here now,
1441
01:16:02,125 --> 01:16:04,291
when I take off my shoe
and I look down at my scar,
1442
01:16:04,291 --> 01:16:06,082
I see beauty
in it
1443
01:16:06,082 --> 01:16:07,082
because I see all
the hard work,
1444
01:16:07,082 --> 01:16:08,250
all the sacrifices.
1445
01:16:08,250 --> 01:16:09,375
I see the journey that
it took to get back
1446
01:16:09,375 --> 01:16:13,082
to this point of
being healthy.
1447
01:16:13,082 --> 01:16:14,500
And I see the beauty
in that struggle.
1448
01:16:14,500 --> 01:16:18,250
That's what makes
it beautiful.
1449
01:16:26,582 --> 01:16:27,291
announcer: Kobe!
Don't ya know,
1450
01:16:27,291 --> 01:16:29,625
as he goes base line.
1451
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:33,207
Wow, yeah, that
right arm.
1452
01:16:33,207 --> 01:16:34,917
It's just there.
1453
01:16:34,917 --> 01:16:37,457
That's on his
shooting shoulder.
1454
01:16:37,457 --> 01:16:39,750
But it's just a sore
right shoulder
1455
01:16:39,750 --> 01:16:40,582
is what the Lakers
are calling it.
1456
01:16:42,833 --> 01:16:44,708
Kobe has gone back
to the locker room
1457
01:16:44,708 --> 01:16:45,750
with the help
of Ryan,
1458
01:16:45,750 --> 01:16:48,375
and that will be the
topic of conversation
1459
01:16:48,375 --> 01:16:49,582
throughout the next
day or so...
1460
01:17:01,582 --> 01:17:04,750
[indistinct
conversations]
1461
01:17:05,750 --> 01:17:07,958
Let's see what kind of
strength you have here.
1462
01:17:07,958 --> 01:17:09,500
Go ahead and
slip that off.
1463
01:17:11,917 --> 01:17:13,708
That's where the
damage is to
your cuff.
1464
01:17:13,708 --> 01:17:17,582
Let me see you
raise it to
the side.
1465
01:17:17,582 --> 01:17:21,250
Don't let me
rotate it down,
resist me.
1466
01:17:21,250 --> 01:17:22,457
Any pain?
1467
01:17:22,457 --> 01:17:23,207
Uh-uh.
1468
01:17:23,207 --> 01:17:24,166
And keep your
elbow pointed
1469
01:17:24,166 --> 01:17:25,332
out towards me.
1470
01:17:25,332 --> 01:17:27,000
Now, I wanna feel how
much pressure you can put.
1471
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:28,291
Push in on your
arm, good.
1472
01:17:28,291 --> 01:17:30,166
All right.
Good, good, good.
1473
01:17:30,166 --> 01:17:30,792
Okay.
[laughs]
1474
01:17:32,582 --> 01:17:33,708
This dark area here,
1475
01:17:33,708 --> 01:17:35,417
that's the rotator
cuff cable.
1476
01:17:35,417 --> 01:17:37,917
It's not attaching
to bone here.
1477
01:17:37,917 --> 01:17:39,375
So, there's only
direction that
1478
01:17:39,375 --> 01:17:41,750
this tear's
gonna go.
1479
01:17:41,750 --> 01:17:43,833
It's gonna
get worse.
1480
01:17:43,833 --> 01:17:45,332
This is not
gonna get better.
1481
01:17:45,332 --> 01:17:48,500
This tear's a pretty
big tear already.
1482
01:17:49,542 --> 01:17:51,958
Your normal daily
function, you know,
1483
01:17:51,958 --> 01:17:54,542
aside from basketball,
you know, raising your arm,
1484
01:17:54,542 --> 01:17:56,708
doing activities of
daily living,
1485
01:17:56,708 --> 01:17:59,792
certainly lifting,
lifting your kids,
1486
01:17:59,792 --> 01:18:01,041
you know,
playing around,
1487
01:18:01,041 --> 01:18:02,457
that sort of thing
with the arm
1488
01:18:02,457 --> 01:18:04,582
in this position
is gonna get tougher.
1489
01:18:04,582 --> 01:18:07,708
I think that this is
gonna need to be fixed
1490
01:18:07,708 --> 01:18:10,582
because it will cause
a problem for you.
1491
01:18:11,875 --> 01:18:14,375
And we like to try
to fix these things
1492
01:18:14,375 --> 01:18:18,667
when you're younger
and the tear is smaller.
1493
01:18:18,667 --> 01:18:20,833
And what's best for
your shoulder is
1494
01:18:20,833 --> 01:18:21,457
to get is fixed
soon.
1495
01:18:21,457 --> 01:18:22,250
Bryant: Oh, my God,
1496
01:18:22,250 --> 01:18:23,457
I just don't know
if I wanna deal
1497
01:18:23,457 --> 01:18:25,082
with another fucking
nine months of some shit.
1498
01:18:25,082 --> 01:18:26,291
No, I know.
1499
01:18:26,291 --> 01:18:27,375
I know,
1500
01:18:27,375 --> 01:18:28,750
and it seems that,
you know,
1501
01:18:28,750 --> 01:18:30,332
with the way your
injuries have happened,
1502
01:18:30,332 --> 01:18:31,708
your...
1503
01:18:32,708 --> 01:18:33,917
the second part of
your season
1504
01:18:33,917 --> 01:18:35,250
and your off-season
has been dominated
1505
01:18:35,250 --> 01:18:37,250
by rehab
and....
1506
01:18:37,250 --> 01:18:39,750
[inaudible]
1507
01:18:50,833 --> 01:18:51,917
Bryant: At what point
do you feel like
1508
01:18:51,917 --> 01:18:54,082
you're holding on,
holding on, holding on
1509
01:18:54,082 --> 01:18:56,041
to something that's
not there?
1510
01:18:56,041 --> 01:18:59,250
At what point do your
determination and your drive
1511
01:18:59,250 --> 01:19:01,917
become unreasonable?
1512
01:19:01,917 --> 01:19:03,792
Or something that's
just not possible?
1513
01:19:34,917 --> 01:19:35,833
When do you know?
1514
01:19:35,833 --> 01:19:37,207
Like, when does
that moment happen
1515
01:19:37,207 --> 01:19:39,625
when you know now
is the time to let go,
1516
01:19:39,625 --> 01:19:43,375
this is the moment
to walk away?
1517
01:19:43,375 --> 01:19:45,125
Do you ever truly
know that?
1518
01:19:45,125 --> 01:19:46,417
I mean, I don't think,
1519
01:19:46,417 --> 01:19:48,207
I don't know
if you do.
1520
01:19:48,207 --> 01:19:48,875
I don't know if there's
ever a moment
1521
01:19:48,875 --> 01:19:50,792
which is the
right moment.
1522
01:19:50,792 --> 01:19:53,792
I don't know if that
moment ever comes.
1523
01:20:55,375 --> 01:20:57,917
Who determines when
it's up for you?
1524
01:21:00,166 --> 01:21:01,457
When we say,
"This cannot be
accomplished,
1525
01:21:01,457 --> 01:21:03,667
"this cannot be done,"
1526
01:21:03,667 --> 01:21:06,166
then we are shortchanging
ourselves.
1527
01:21:14,792 --> 01:21:15,582
My brain,
1528
01:21:15,582 --> 01:21:18,625
it cannot process
failure.
1529
01:21:18,625 --> 01:21:24,207
It will not
process failure
1530
01:21:24,207 --> 01:21:27,000
because if
I have to--
1531
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:28,958
If I sit there and
have to face myself
1532
01:21:28,958 --> 01:21:31,041
and tell myself,
you know,
1533
01:21:31,041 --> 01:21:34,041
"You're a failure,"
1534
01:21:34,041 --> 01:21:37,542
I think that's
a worse--
1535
01:21:37,542 --> 01:21:40,958
That's almost worse
than death.
