Haithem Mohd actually im 28 and watched him play a bit in his washington days and i recall bits and peices of his days in chicago.I seen kobe run shaq out of town and not be able to make playoffs on his own.Kobe was less efficient than jordan and i can argue wasnt even the best player in the league at any point. Before you say most skilled ever was he even more skilled than lebron in his own time. Reason why i have jake paul subbed is cause this is a family account where i logged into all my younger siblings tablets who dont have a email but i shouldnt have to explain that to a person like you who believes the copy of the orginal is better.
John Craftenworth Only reason Magic said Bird was better because he grew up in a time you couldn't show up white folks. You see racist gave Bird ROY after he beat Bird in college and was in the finals which he won without Kareem vs one of the greatest teams of all time. He beat Bird Two out of three times in the finals. Played 12 Years and went to 9 finals. And when he lost to Mj he had no help, Aids and Jordan the 🐐 hit hit prime and was so good he won three straight and got bored and went to play baseball. Hes not even better than Dominique Wilkins who owned him one on one. How can you be the most skilled with a 6 inch vertical? Take your big face ass on.
I Will Forever Be Grateful That I Lived In an Era Where I Saw Kobe Bryant Play Basketball, I Don't Think I will ever have that same experience ever again in my lifetime.
Kobe Bryant is the greatest Laker of all time. Magic was GREAT but IMO, Kobe was better offensively in every aspect, he was a better 1 on 1 defensive player, and was a underrated passer (Obviously not putting Kobe anywhere near the passing level as Magic but Im just saying Kobe was a pretty good passer).
Kobe was the most entertaining & complete player I've ever seen, he would even have opposing crowds going crazy out of their seats. He was truly meant to be a Laker... to be traded for by the Lakers from the Logo himself and then to deliver 5 championships under the immense pressure of playing for one of the most decorated franchises in all of sports, that's greatness.
He should be the first player to enter the HOF two times he played in the stacked ass west and had some of the greatest success of all time has beat more 50 win and 60 win teams Than anybody in history has dominated multiple HOF in his career in the playoffs the public don’t like him but he my and Los Angeles GOAT 🐐
No 24 was more complete in mind and skill. He was a true winner and played against the best of the best in the West. I love AI but Kobe will always be GOAT to me
Sums up Kobe pretty well with the quote, "Whichever number they choose, it would be hard for someone else to wear the other one." He basically had two 1st ballot HoF careers wearing each number and proved to the world multiple times why he was the best at what he does, both inside and outside of basketball. His retirement was the end of an era in the NBA and I hope to God that people in the future can remember him for what he did on and off the court.
Kobe vs. T.MAC / Kobe vs. D.Wade. if I could see these match-ups again, that would be special. I hope we get to see this level of talent again, maybe one day.
why is lebron allowed to switch teams, get all stars traded to each team and possibly leave his team again and be a the goat, yet kyrie left to a less efficient team because lebron's burden and he's a traitor ?
if you think Kobe is better than LeBron you know nothing about basketball and just hopped on the wagon and just upset LeBron can easily beat any of your teams single handedly.
LeChoke James This video has nothing to do with Lebron and here we go again with this bullshit. You haters are obsessed with Lebron. I grew up watching them both and they’re both amazing in their own way but Lebron is statistically the better player other than rings and he can still play for 5-8 more years. Instead of comparing them and hating one or the other just appreciate the impact they both had on the game. Kids in the future will talk about them like we talk about Wilt Chamberlain and Elgin Baylor who we couldn’t watch.
Cris Law LeBron is far more talented than Kobe. But Kobe was so aggressive, he wanted to kill you on the court. He didn't have any friends on the court. He wasn't just competing against the other team, he was competing against his teammates as well. He worked so hard 24/7 to do 1 thing and that's put the ball in the hoop and he was the best at it. LeBron on the other hand balls for the good of the league and all it's players, he doesn't want to kill you in a single game and not be able to move the next day. His primary skill is passing the ball and getting people open and making his team better. In order to do that, he has to be a scoring threat which is why he scores the ball but he doesn't have to.LeBron wants to elevate all players, kobe was the opposite, he didn't know the meaning of passing. He had to take the last shot every time. LeBron works out with current players to get them better and elevate, Kobe was all about himself and if you couldn't ball on his level he got rid of you. LeBron goes out of his way to make you better. If I were to rate LeBron and Kobe out of 10. Kobe gets 9/10 in scoring compared to lebrons 7.5/10. In Passing Kobe gets a 6/10 Lebron gets a 9/10. Rebounding Kobe gets a 5/10 LeBron gets a 8/10.
While battling a team in the west that won 3 championships it’s not like he didn’t go to the western conference finals either then the team that so callled beat the best player ever Lebron both times Boston and Orlando Kobe beat in the finals this is lebrons era but just because your to young to remember greatness don’t discredit Kobe’s true prime which was 10 years of Absolute dominance
The league went down after Kobe left smh... It was more fun to watch in the 2000s when Kobe was the best player in the league but he wasn't guaranteed to go to the finals every fucking year. Now it's just Lebron vs whoever comes out the west every year smh
Wasnt guaranteed? He went to 5 of the ten finals in that decade. Tf are u talking about. The spurs and lakers ran the entire last decade with the exception of the 06 finals.
LeBum will always be hindered legacy wise because he stacks his teams and plays booty competition in the East every year. Even this year now that Hayward is gone they're gonna go back again. Kobe beat the most 50+ win teams in playoff history. Competition matters
Competition doesnt matter. It's not his fault his competition out east is trash. And having stacked teams is not the rraso hisegacu is hindered. Every great team in nba history was stacked, including a majority teams kobe played on, so that doesnt even make since. His legacy took a hit because he lost 5 finals. Thats the one and only thing .
Shit i think ima ball out tonight been holding it in since he retired. He has had a brilliant career and being born and raised along his legacy is probably one of the coolest things for me.
Yeezy Dude Kawhi wasn’t good get, Semi finals matchup would’ve been against the Warriors, 2 years before the Warriors became great, and they would’ve beat a Memphis team the Lakers went 25-8 after the all star break Kobe was in complete mamba mode
Specially if 39 year old nash could chip in just a lil bit he had left. Nash open 3, bang! Dwight Howard being soft should of stayed and tried to make it work. Karma got him in Houston
Yea but also everyone else had to be healthy Dwight was coming off A NASTY AND I MEAN NASTY back injury steve nash was ancient and pau also was injured a lot with out those injuries and no chemistry problems i bet about 2 more rings
I just don’t get it the Kobe haters how many players do you guys think are real better than Kobe I don’t like Lebron but I respect him and I love how that’s his only comparison like damn if he sucks so much bring other players into the conversation cause lebrons a different animals easily better all around player but that doesn’t mean he knows how to use it lebron is the thing we all fear ye best at everything but the worst at something and that’s closing and winning games he just wasn’t a winner when it mattered the most no disrespect again cause he’s been to 7 straight finals but has lost 4 of them Kobe would never lose that many Finals I mean from 2000-2010 he went 7 times and won 5 three peat and a 2 peat which came off a finals loss
“Prime Kobe” to me was 00-13 I think his apex years were (skill wise) in no order Peak apex * MJ 98 level. 1. 08* 2. 06* 3. 07* 4. 03* 5. 13* 6. 09* 7. 10* 9. 01 10. 02 11. 05 Tier two would be (still prime level. More Wade 04/05 level and or Melo ‘12 level with better D) 2011, ‘04, ‘12 & ‘00
Out of any player from the 2000s, if I'm tryna win a ring I'm taking Kobe
big fax, or timmy
I get you but it doesn't make sense. Kobe one 1 finals mvp in the 00s. Shaq got 3 and Tim got 2.
King Phil shaq wouldn’t have those rings without Kobe
@@kingphil4073 shaq got 3 bc he was the main star as kobe was still young by 2006 shaq was washed up and not his prime self kobes your best bet
Kobe was what defined basketball and competition. Sucks that there isn't more like him in today's league
Devin Booker aka Next Kobe u mean shor chuckers. There plenty of Those in the leaugue.
Eddie Thomas L
Ur like him D book
Kyrie is
Tatum
I don’t care who your favorite player is, #24 Kobe is the most skilled player ever
Marlon Ndoro uh no but he was great but jordan is better
Haithem Mohd I had a debate in school which rookie was better Kobe who i argued for vs Iverson. Jordan is the 🐐. Snd it isn't even close.
Haithem Mohd actually im 28 and watched him play a bit in his washington days and i recall bits and peices of his days in chicago.I seen kobe run shaq out of town and not be able to make playoffs on his own.Kobe was less efficient than jordan and i can argue wasnt even the best player in the league at any point.

this is idiotic. from a skills standpoint, larry bird is far and away the GOAT.

TheDawbog what about Kareem?
Thomas Hester Kareem didn't play his entire career with the Lakers like Magic and Kobe did, plus they both won 5 championships in their time there.
Kobe Bryant is the greatest basketball player of all time.
Miss you 😭
Man miss watching this guy, all I have is the highlights now. My favorite all-time NBA player.
🐐🐐🐐🐐 glad I was able to grow up in an era with Kobe, AI, T-Mac, etc.
Kobe was the most entertaining & complete player I've ever seen, he would even have opposing crowds going crazy out of their seats.

Lil Dagga everybody on the dream team entered the hall of fame two times except for Christian Lattener
No 24 was more complete in mind and skill. He was a true winner and played against the best of the best in the West. I love AI but Kobe will always be GOAT to me
My all time favorite player congrats Kobe
what a horrible day

The Asian Persuasion yes his retirement was the end of the hero ball era.
Still can’t believe he’s gone. My hometown LA icon. Childhood hero. Kobe forever 😭💔
Kobe vs. T.MAC / Kobe vs. D.Wade. if I could see these match-ups again, that would be special.
I hope we get to see this level of talent again, maybe one day.
kobe has a lot of history at his No.8
I am a simple man 1 Jordan 2 Kobe 3 lebron
XD
Rest In Peace.
G.O.A.T
Knowing he dropped 81 on him, he saying the truth 😅
Both numbers are HOF worthy..which is crazy
My favourite of all time!
This man is the GOAT of my generation.
Kobe was a legend man
Kobe was all skill..I'm just another statpadder. I wish I had skills like the Black Mamba

Oh how I miss watching him play
Saddest thing is we won’t hear him talk about his game anymore
One of the best to ever do it.
Kobe literally from 2000-2010 won 50% of the championships 😂 to underrated that’s what you call a prime Damn he went 7 times in 10 years
While battling a team in the west that won 3 championships it’s not like he didn’t go to the western conference finals either then the team that so callled beat the best player ever Lebron both times Boston and Orlando Kobe beat in the finals this is lebrons era but just because your to young to remember greatness don’t discredit Kobe’s true prime which was 10 years of Absolute dominance
The most comitéd
Most competitive Athlete Ever🥺🐐
The league went down after Kobe left smh... It was more fun to watch in the 2000s when Kobe was the best player in the league but he wasn't guaranteed to go to the finals every fucking year. Now it's just Lebron vs whoever comes out the west every year smh
Kobe left when he tore his Achilles it was kinda boring after that happen
So you mad at LeBrons greatness lmaoooo go cry somewhere else
MrAVGNdude W
Jeremy Watson There's too much predictability in the east. There's no challenge and the West is too real for Lebron.
Wasnt guaranteed? He went to 5 of the ten finals in that decade. Tf are u talking about. The spurs and lakers ran the entire last decade with the exception of the 06 finals.
Sad thing is that they going to have his ceremony live on fucking NBA tv!! Like bruhh I got simple cable ! Should've aired it on ESPN !
Vipbox.nu. They show all the games and everything that happens before it.
You're welcome.
Legend💯

Shit i think ima ball out tonight been holding it in since he retired. He has had a brilliant career and being born and raised along his legacy is probably one of the coolest things for me.
Nobody should be allowed to wear 8 or 24 on any team in the league. Just retire those numbers forever. Nobody else is worthy to wear them.
If you do that you also gotta do it with every nigga wearing number 23
Lmao W
Yann Lebvoua Lebron gotta be 22 from now on
Kobe Bryant In that case 8, 13, 23, 24, 32, 33, 34, 44 should never be worn anywhere
Chilllllllllllllllllll
Mamba 💜💛
Kobe was the GOAT in my dream
Great player, anywhere from top 8-12 all time.
The Myth, The Legend!
🐐 🐐 🐐 🐐 🐐
He also dropped 81 on Jalen to add insult to injury.
🐐
60 at 37 years old show me another
Comming to see a bunch of Kobe haters comments to remind myself just how good mamba was lol

Yea but also everyone else had to be healthy Dwight was coming off A NASTY AND I MEAN NASTY back injury steve nash was ancient and pau also was injured a lot with out those injuries and no chemistry problems i bet about 2 more rings
Kobe's skill is one of a kind, thats why he is better than Lebron in anyway but he is behind MJ.
Im here after his death 😭
2nd best player ever
mamba 🐍
Kobe>MJ done @ me.
Tamer Khattab *don't dumbass
Tamer Khattab yessir🙏

#8 is more historic , #24 is more KOBE
Make August 24th Mamba day 🔥🙏🏽💪🏾
24 footwork 8 athleticism
I'm do glad you caught on to that. I've been trying to explain this to people for years.
Just think if kobe never got traded to the Lakers
Lmao he really the only player to get compared to his self 😂😂😂😂😂

“Prime Kobe” to me was 00-13
I think his apex years were (skill wise) in no order
Peak apex * MJ 98 level.
1. 08*
2. 06*
3. 07*
4. 03*
5. 13*
6. 09*
7. 10*
9. 01
10. 02
11. 05
Tier two would be (still prime level. More Wade 04/05 level and or Melo ‘12 level with better D)
2011, ‘04, ‘12 & ‘00
2 Hall of Fame Careers.
No. 8 won 3 champions makes sense 8x3 = 24
Trendy kicks u the goat
Jalen still kinda mad that he scored 81 on him
The Raptors need to retire number 8!
Pause 3:17 notice one is gold, the other is banana
Kobe cool. Chicago likes that fool no doubt.
Stephan Curry's water commercials make me cringe Everytime his ad pops up😐
8>24
LeG.O.A.T >Kobrick
Kobe > Princess James
I don't give a damn if LeBron has better stats hell wilt has better stats than everybody and he's not the goat
OKC gave Durant’s number to a g league player 😅😅😅
Kobe or Lebron ???????
#ko8e24
LeBron gonna have 6 and 23 retired by two different teams get at his level Kobe na congrats tho
Wait until LeBron retire and then we'll talk. Kobe will always be attached to Jordan. LeBron in uncharted territory
Nah. He's just like Scottie.
3/7 go home
Bruh kobe would have 2 rings without shaq. Dont get me wrong kobe was very good but he wouldn't won the first 3 without shaq
And lebron aint got no shaq in his early years
@@ricecooker9313 and Shaq wouldn’t have those 3 without Kobe
He had to change numbers because of the rape charges
Overrated bum!
Curry , Durant and LeBron are all much better!
Not durant either
Ok if u say so lol
Lebrons better than both Jordan and Kobe. Don't @ me.
Coffey TV you must be smoking cr@ck
