In this brief interview clip, NBA player Draymond Green recounts his all‑time favorite Kobe Bryant moment. He describes a defensive play where he stopped Kobe, who responded by slapping Draymond’s leg, and Draymond’s reaction of excitement. Draymond then narrates a later game‑winning situation: after a Mark Jackson timeout with only seconds left, he was told he would be guarding Kobe. Draymond missed the final shot, but the experience of being directly involved with Kobe left a lasting, personal impact. The segment captures Draymond’s admiration for Kobe and the emotional significance of that encounter.

My all-time favorite Kobe moment was when I got the stop on Kobe, he slapped me on the leg. I'm like, "Yeah!" Said, "That ain't had nothing to do with you, young fella.
I just missed." Down to 5, down to 3, and 2. Kobe drips it out. We're going overtime, ladies and gentlemen.
Game-winning shot. Mark Jackson put me in, few seconds left in the game. Like, "Yo, you got Kobe." Whoa. But I was hype. That ain't had nothing to do with you, young fella. I just missed. Kept walking. I was like, "Oh, nah." And for me, that was my favorite moment. Number one is personal to me. To have that moment with Kobe, absolutely amazing.
