The nerds react to Game 4 as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander & the Oklahoma City Thunder look to close out LeBron James & the Los ...
The relationship between Kyrie Irving and Kobe Bryant went far beyond basketball. Kobe became a mentor to Kyrie during the early years of his NBA career, helping shape the “Mamba Mentality” mindset that Kyrie still talks about today. Kyrie has shared multiple stories about studying Kobe’s footwork, mentality, and obsession with preparation, even challenging him to legendary 1-on-1 workouts before eventually building a close friendship with him. During the 2016 NBA Playoffs and NBA Finals run with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Kobe stayed in contact with Kyrie, offering advice on leadership, confidence, and embracing pressure moments. After Cleveland completed the historic 3-1 comeback against the Golden State Warriors in Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals, Kyrie revealed he immediately FaceTimed Kobe from the locker room because he believed Kobe’s advice and “Mamba Mentality” directly helped him hit the iconic game-winning three-pointer over Stephen Curry. Kyrie later said that during the biggest moments of Game 7, all he could think about was “Mamba Mentality.” The shot became one of the most clutch plays in NBA history and cemented the bond between Kyrie Irving and Kobe Bryant forever.

subtle moment here in the @OKC Thunder's close out win on the road in Los Angeles watch Shai. Reigning MVP, and yet respects Mark enough to see what the call is (I imagine not only the set, but what tempo they wanna go at) also INSANE catch by Chet. That's a turnover saving catch, essentially a 4pt catch . . . #basketball #nbaplayoffs #lakers #okcthunder
Max Muncy discussed the Dodgers’ continued offensive struggles after another frustrating loss to the Giants. Muncy admitted the Dodgers are currently in a team-wide “funk” offensively, especially when it comes to cashing in scoring opportunities. “We’re creating situations… we’re just not getting a hit here or there.” The Dodgers slugger also discussed: Players trying to do too much in big moments Veterans holding conversations behind closed doors Why the team is trying not to overreact The importance of simplifying at-bats Staying mentally clear during difficult stretches Trusting the Dodgers’ championship experience Believing the offense will eventually break through Muncy emphasized that while the Dodgers know the situation looks rough right now, the clubhouse remains confident because they’ve overcome stretches like this before. “We’re back-to-back champions for a reason.” He also pointed to positive signs including Mookie Betts returning, Teoscar Hernández getting on base multiple times, and improved situational hitting despite the final result. “There’s going to be a stretch coming soon where everything we touch finds grass.” 🇯🇵 日本語 Max Muncyがジャイアンツ戦後にドジャース打線について率直に語りました。 「チーム全体がファンク状態にある」 また、 チャンスで力みすぎていること ベテラン同士で話し合っていること シンプルに打席へ入る重要性 チームは必ず抜け出せるという自信 についてもコメント。 「俺たちは連覇したチームだから」 苦しい状況でも前向きな姿勢を見せました。 ドジャース -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please subscribe and hit that notification bell to stay up to date on all the latest Dodgers news, rumors, interviews, live streams, and more!
