O Preço da Grandeza, com Kobe Bryant [Legendado Português]

and I don't school one point the entire summer really not one how old were you 11 10 11 and you're playing against other ten eleven year olds or need to scroll once not one were you in the game I was in a game how did your not score that was terrible really yeah I'm not crying about it being upset about it my father's gave me a hug I said listen whether you scored zero score 62 that is the most because from there I was like okay it gives me all the confidence in the world to

feel I have the security there but the hell with that I'm scoring 16 let's rock hit right in from there I just went to work I just stayed with it I kept practicing kept practicing good puck when I came back the next summer I was a little bit better yeah and it wasn't much but I scored 12 13 12 13 then 14 came around back half at 13 14 years old and then I was just killing everyone and it happened in two years and I wasn't expecting to happen in two years but it did because

what I had to do was work on the basics and the fundamentals while they relied on athleticism and their natural ability and because I stick to the fundamentals it just caught up to me so from 13 you're good average I was good I was good about about like the end of my like right when I was turning 14 I became best very steep 14 i forward so I'm 12 to 14 you went from scoring zero to being the best in the day of all ages yeah but it's simple like if you do the math on

this right like if you if you thinking about how often kids are playing I'll tell it's two months and my daughter's my daughter's team as well that I coach it's a simple thing of math she want to be a great player if you play every single day two-three hours every single day we're course of a year how much better you get it most kids will play maybe an hour and a half two days a week with the math one it's not gonna get it done get it done right so if you're obsessive obsessive obsessively training

to three hours every single day over a year over two years accelerate make quantum leaps up every single day do the work this guy is the best the best player in the nation for it anybody in high school good big confidence but you have to keep moving north I know a lot of guys would be number one in the past years and it's just like fell off a cliff so I have to keep working hard and hopefully everything worked I'll be number one in the future you also said that you want to play against Michael

Jordan before retires he's only got probably three or four more years left so no no that would be something I'd love to do because uh you know watch them growing up and Michael joining somebody that I've always looked up to and I want to play this you're the one player years thinking seriously of making the transition like from the high school ranks to the professional ranks how serious is that part of your decision well there's definitely a possibility I think I'd be foolish like a look at today so obvious let me say been looking school

and see what my options are so the possibility Kobe Bryant I have decided to skip college and take my talents in India [Applause] yes I take a cold hard look at the world now oh my hand yeah got a plan now I'm gonna help Peter James cuz I can there you are staying there take my hand yeah no pain no gain no shame work hard play hard okay I think I get it now don't want to let him down I might eat the ground and shoot my mind if I go rattle my notes teach them

what I broke teach your mother ho keep them on the road the road to the dream I'll need as a team put your own self-esteem you could throw anything prove everything say what you mean and believe in your dream find the thing that you love that you really want to be and comes from preparation but I'll prepare I know what I'm capable of doing I know what I'm comfortable going than what I'm not comfortable doing and so when the game's on the line I'm not asking myself to do something that I hadn't done for thousands

of times before and so on those moments if it looks like ice cold or nervous it's because I've done it thousands so it's one more time [Music] but I remember we were playing against the Lakers Tom and we were out here in LA and you know like I always try to outwork people right that's just how I made my mark so the game was at 7 I was like you know what I'm gonna come to the Staples Center because we're playing this one Lakers had Kobe and Shaq okay this is this is like the championship

Lakers so you know I'm gonna get there at 3 o'clock I want to make sure I make 400 made shots before I go back into the room and then I sit in a sauna I get ready for the game so you know get in the car get to the gym get there and as I'm walking onto the court who do I see I see Kobe Bryant already working out okay it's kind of cool it's Kobe stop Kobe you know and uh you know so I put my sneakers on and you ever get lost in what

you do where you end up wait it's been an hour and a half I'm just I'm here I'm in it so once I set my foot across that line I started working out and so I worked out for a good hour hour and a half and when I came off after I was done I sat down and of course I still heard the ball bouncing and look down like this guys still working out he was working out like it looks like he was in a dead sweat when I got here and he's still going and

it's not like his moves are nonchalant lazy he's doing like game moves you know I sit there and I unleash my shoes am I gonna see how long this goes there watch another 25 minutes and they got done okay I think I've seen enough go play you know come back get in Tucson and get ready for the game that game he drops 40 on us okay and after the game is over I'm like I have to ask this guy guy I have to understand like why why he works like that right so after games I'm

like hey khob like why were you in the gym for so long he's like cuz I saw you come in I don't want you to know that it doesn't matter how hard you work that I'm willing to work harder than you Wow and he's I guess don't hold there's there's nothing wrong with that like I'm not saying I just like you as a person you just you inspire me to me back it was the first time I started to see this level of competitiveness blessed I need to start doing more Wow my philosophy was a

very simple one I am and this is where I think so plays a big part of my life Rudy was one of my favorite films growing up if you guys haven't seen Rudy I suggest you go you you watch Rudy after watching that film I come to understand if I could work that hard every day with the being blessed with the physical tools that I have with my career being and I made a promise to myself from that day that I was gonna work that hard every single day so that when I do retire I

have no regrets and that was the most important thing for me so leave no stone unturned get better every single day and if I live that way then over time I'd have something that was beautiful but that was my philosophy it seems like a pretty simple one but if you live your life to just get better every single day figure that for 20 years wouldn't you have if you got to get up every single morning and remind yourself how hard you need to work I need to choose a different profession because I shouldn't be there

I wake up in the morning excited to get into it I'm not training I'm missing it I'm not watching a game of a spot missive you know there's no place I'd rather be and if you have that feeling that you're truly doing with God has put you on this earth to do like you said I'm gonna get up at 4:00 everybody's get up at 6:00 if everybody's gonna get before I'm gonna get up at 2:00 right how do you how do you develop that or what do you what do you learn that from well I

I think it's just a no it's just a matter of what's important to you it was important to you for whatever reason you know I felt like I didn't feel good about myself if I wasn't doing everything I could to be the best version of myself if I felt like I left anything on a table it would eat away at me I wouldn't be able to look myself in the mirror and so the reason why I can't retire now and be completely comfortable about it because I know that I've done everything I could to be

the best basketball player I could be and so that's where it comes from for me you can't leave any stone unturned you're gonna show up to play and run allow the gags with his scrimmage through this drill I'm going to beat you I'm going to let you know I beat you I'm gonna want you to reconsider your professional life choice if your job is to try to be the best basketball player you can be okay to do that you have to practice you have to train you want to train as much as you can as

often as you can so if you get up at 10 in the morning train for two hours 12 to 2 you have to let your body recover so you eat recovery you get back out you train start training again at 6:00 train from 6 to 8 and now you go home shower you dinner you go to bed you wake up do it again right those are two sessions right now imagine you wake up every the train at 4:46 come home breakfast relax so now you're back at it again 9 to 11 relax and now I'm

stunned you're back at it again to the 4 and have your back dad again 7 to 9 look how much more training I have done by simply starting at 4 right so now you do that and as the years go on the separation that you have with through competitors in your peers this grows larger and larger and larger and larger larger by year five or six doesn't matter what kind of work they're doing a summer they're never going to catch up because they're five years behind so it makes sense to get up and start your

day early because you can get more work out is that genetic or is that something you you engrained and trained yourself no it was taught you that for me it was it was just common sense like I can I can if I start earlier I can train more hours and I know the other guys aren't doing it because I know what their training schedule is so I know if I do this consistently over time this the gaps just gonna widen why no I don't wanna whine and they won't be able to get that back so

it's me it was just common sense I'm like thinking how can I get an advantage o start earlier yeah let's do that when did you start doing that high school high school when we start my first class on high school of seven at 7:45 I used to get to the gym around 5:00 a.m. and I'd play before school you know the idea is a very simple one you know the Mamba mentality simply means trying to be the best version of yourself that's what the mentality means it means every day you're trying to become better and

it's a constant quest it's an infinite quest so starting at the age of two when I first started playing the game on and on and on I always asked questions I always tried to get better every single day learn more as losing feel like to you it's exciting why is it exciting because it means you have different ways to get better there are certain things that you can figure out that you can take advantage of right certain weaknesses that were exposed that you need to show up right so it was exciting news it's Huxtables but

at the same time their answer is there to just look at all cuz you get the information from losing more than winning yeah yeah I mean the answers are there when you win - you just have to look at them yeah right so it's a constant process it's exciting when you win it's exciting when you lose because the process should be exactly the same whether you win or you lose is you go back and you look and you find things that you could have done better you find things that you've done well that worked figure

out how did they work why did they work how can you make them work again yeah and but the hardest thing is to face that stuff you know the mistakes that you've made in that game you have to do the hard stuff and watch that game and study that game to not make those mistakes over and over again just because you weren't brave enough to face it got a deal Ethan got to deal with it face it learn from it and did you what was your routine and ritual like after every game would you watch

almost every game over or certain games all over every game they'd watch every game the whole game battle game no yeah we're watching the start of the game to the end of the game and not like not like the TV feed watching the in arena feed the layup line the timeouts oh my god yeah rewinding stopping fast for winding slow-motion every little thing every game of that season that's one of the keys you think it's like if you're not watching film whether it be as a speaker on stage or a performer and a musician if

you're not watching yourself back gotta learn man I mean beyond say he's same for the same thing really after her performance she's immediately on her laptop were you watching the performance Hawaiian yes seeing how to do things better what could we have done differently MS it's an obsessiveness that comes along with it you want things to be as perfect as they can be understanding that nothing is ever perfect but the challenges try to get a mess perfect as they and what can you do it's in your control so control what you can I can watch

all day long he's gonna help me get better yes yes I played a lot of different sports but nothing brought me the sense of peace and escape you know that the game of basketball do you know the smell of like brand new sneakers like the sound the ball makes when it hits the ground the ball going through the net like all those things I love and so the passion comes from that because once you have that love you just want to be a part of this thing all the time how do kids find out much

anything experience we try to put them in different things try to expose them to as many things as possible and then see if there's one thing that connects with them because if it does you don't have to tell them to do it whether it's writing or painting or drawing you know if they have that passion you don't have to tell them they're go off and do it because it's just fun rather do that than anything else what is what does that mean T V to be fearless why is that such an important part of the

mamba mentality well mix I think the greatest fear that we face is ourselves actually you know I think it's uh it's not anything that's external or anything that's superficial I think the greatest fear you face is yourself because we all have dreams and it's very scary sometimes to accept the dream that you have and it's scarier still to say okay I want that because you're afraid that if you put your heart and soul into it and you fail then how are you gonna feel about yourself so being fearless means putting yourself out there and going

for it no matter what go for it not for anybody else but for yourself when you when you when you got to the league you're 18 did you have any fears yeah I mean I had fears that everybody was gonna be right I made a poor choice or decision jump from how well I wasn't so that was always in the back of my mind for sure the way we approach the game the same way we approach life you do the right thing you make the right play make the right play and your life is the

same thing what are you feeling your heart is the right thing to do and you do that you know it seems so simple but sometimes the simplest things are the hardest things to do dance beautifully in the box that you are comfortable dancing in so like everybody's box is different my box was to be extremely ambitious within the sport of basketball your box it's different in mind right every kid here has their own box but doesn't mean that your box isn't as beautiful as mine right everybody has their own is your job to try to

perfect it and make it as beautiful of a canvas as you can make it and if you have done that then you have lived a successful life you have lived with Mambo mentality so it doesn't mean you have to go out here and do all of these crazy things I'll have to be like this person or that person no what are you comfortable being what it is that what is it that you want to do with your life and once you have that then you try to live it to the best of your abilities every

kid every person has the ability to put one foot in front of the other one step at a time right so like if you're saying okay I'm gonna climb Mount Everest at the bottom of the mountain and you look up you're going right but if you break it down into sections and you just one foot in front of the other one step at a time next to you know you're at the top of the mountain I just looked at it as I want to be one of the best basketball players who've ever played that's the

end goal okay how do I get there how do I get there and every decision I made in my life was centered around the process of helping me eventually get there you know tan so I had that purpose once I had that purpose every decision that I made was centered around that purpose you look back upon it now what do you see yourself did you did you do everything you wanted to do did you become the best best basa player what my goal is changed drastically as I got older it's like as a kid I

said I want to be the best ever and now you go through your life and everything you do is trying to be the best ever be your best ever be the best ever and as you get older you start understanding that those things are very superficial things and everybody has a different opinion about it no matter what you do I can win 20 championships there's always an opinion on who's the best everybody has different opinions and so I started really kind of understanding maybe that's not the important thing maybe the important thing is to you

know how do we as a team grow how do I help my teammates be better so that was the first change for me and then as I got older still it became more about how are you inspiring others like to find themselves that is the ultimate championship so won five championships that's great another team won a championship this year teams gonna win a championship next year those things come and go but what stays is how did you use your passion to inspire somebody else to create their passion and then how can they pass that on

to the next person that is true success greatness for 20 years excellence for 20 years the other forward for the final time number 24 [Applause] the [Applause] lose out clubbing the great farewell performances in any sport man you know it's I can't believe how fast 20 years went by this is crazy kidding no words can describe how I feel about you guys and thank you thank you from the bottom of my heart huh god I love you guys and [Applause] my bow [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] you you
