Head to toe, the purest basketball player to ever grace the game. Many player make highlight plays, few paint portraits of how the game should be played. Will truly be missed, not just by his fanatics, but by his doubters and critics. I'm truly lucky to have witnessed his era and reign. Get well soon.
Players often find moves to get open shots. Kobe knows that defenders will study his moves and try to stop him, so instead of finding a way to get open shots, he worked on making the contested ones. I think what people don't understand about Kobe is the shots that he takes that are wildly contested are things that he has started to work on. A forced shot to others, is actually a regular shot for Kobe. A thing of beauty. A lot of respect for this guy.
***** That makes no sense lol. Einstein would be able to learn everything about physics and technology today in a year. Wilt would be better than Dwight Howard, but he would never score more than 50-60. And it wouldn't happen for a whole season either.
+Borja Oliva He's the basketball player with the best scoring potential... When he's hot, he's the deadliest player on the floor. No one is capable of doing anything close to what Kobe does when he's on fire.
+RahulPresentsKobe you are totally right bro. Back in the days the cross over or the pump fake, or the double pump spin, or the behind the back pass, or the cross over half spin fade away. or the pass to the back board self ally oop, or lebrons travel wasnt invented yet. Kobe woulda not need to pass to anyone and destroyed the score board. Todays game Wilt wouldnt be able to do that because the guys now are so athletics and everyone wearing high tech sneakers with plus3 jump stats or plus2 stopping plus2 spin. Todays shoes are... wait why am i talking about shoes....
+Borja Oliva MJ is easily a better scorer than Kobe.averages, can even be proved statistically. Career average MJ 30.1ppg Kobe 25.2ppg Playoffs average MJ 33.4ppg Kobe 25.6ppg Best regular season averages: MJ 37.1ppg Kobe 35.4 Best playoffs averages MJ 43.7ppg Kobe 32.8 Best finals averages MJ 41ppg Kobe 32.4ppg ' MJ had 10 scoring titles, to Kobe's poor 2. Best PER ever average with 27.91. Best was 30.7 for him. Kobe average 23.02, best was 27 for him. I can even list the amount of 30,40,50,60,70,80 + games each has in regular season, playoffs and finals. Where MJ only loses to Kobe in his one 81 point game. In all other catagories, MJ prevails.
Kobe's edge over Michael was that he could knockdown shots over double teams, triple teams, and smothering man to man defense, you can even argue that Kobe's post footwork is greater than Michael's. Could you imagine if Kobe had Michael's elite wingspan, 48" vertical, monster handspan, and quickness? Kobe has been doing things Michael has done against more athletic, lengthy defenders. If Kobe had Michael's athleticism to go with his ability to knockdown shots with little to no airspace, he would've been the GOAT.
Theres no reason for anyone to hate kobe? He has such class and plays the game with the upmost respect. And if you think he is a ball hog then read this stat. Kobe Brant has the most assists (6,122) for any player who has scored 30,000 or more points, yes this includes Michael Jordan. No one will realize how much Kobe means to the game until hes gone. Maybe then the Kobe haters can give him the mutual respect he deserves.
Kobe can shoot the balls better than anyone in the history . He makes complicated shots look mainstream , his fade away alone could be highlights of any player , Kobe is Art .
i LOVE how this wasn't a "all dunks" highlight reel...jumpshots,turn-arounds,post moves, jab steps, cross overs, spliting defenders, basline lay-ups....these are the TRUE reason i love to see kobe play
" i want to be the best i want to be the best simple and plain and thats why i play the game but to be the best you have to win and thats what drives me." Kobe Bryant.
most enjoyable player to watch ever. hypnotic rhythm and flow to his game. when i get sick and tired of watching players doing the same old thing these days, i come back to watch Kobe highlights just so i can see some immaculate footwork, gamesmanship, and elite competitiveness.
When people talk about LeBron the words "freight train" is often used. But I submit to you that I'd rather have an artist and a player with finesse than a steroid-pumped behemoth. We miss you Kobe. Hopefully next season we'll be able to see him again and back in his former glory.
In the history of the NBA, there have only been a handful of players whose game you can describe as beautiful. As this video demonstrates, Kobe Bryant is one of these players. His movements are just so smooth and fluid. There is not another player in the NBA right now who even comes close to matching Kobe's skill set. 17 seasons and he's STILL a top player despite having lost much of his athleticism.
I watched this several years ago and got chills by the Kobe's slow motion and the epic music. I watch it now, and found out this is a masterpiece combined with two legends in music composing and basketball: Hans Zimmer and Kobe Bryant. Epic stuff!!
Very well done video. Shows Kobe's wizardry and his Mage and magician skills all to perfectly. When Kobe plays it's like watching art. It's like watching a beautiful masterpiece being constructed right in front of you. Kobe's passion and dedication and the love and respect for the game and his will to win just makes every game he plays in legendary. He is like a warrior in battle. Fighting every game. Giving it all up for the love of the sport. Giving his life up to the love of the sport. It's mythical at this point. This man will live FOREVER in the NBAs history. FOREVER for generations to come, Kobe's name will forever be mentioned in the Best Player of ALL-TIME discussion.
Lebron is good obviously but he is boring. It's like watching a cardboard cutout play. Kobe Bryant has the fluidity, and gracefulness that makes basketball fun to watch
Don’t disrespect lebron like that bro. I get exactly what you’re saying but you’re referring to scoring. Of course Kobe is by far the better and more creative scorer. But lebron is the way better and more creative passer than Kobe.
If you like scoring than great but to me I love watching great vision and lebron has that which is why he’s not boring to me. But yeah Kobe would take my breath away with some cold ass moves that I had never seen before
boring? for real nigga? i know your just saying this just to praise kobe but in the end you look like the stupid one also dont you ever bet yo money ass on the lakers if they ever make the playoffs this year lebron is ONE OF THE best all around player ever entered the league there's a reason why they compared him to mj i love kobe to he's my favorite player and always will be but that doesnt mean i have the rights to criticize lebron REMEMBER he went to the finals 8 straight in a row "8" did jordan ever did that nor kobe? their both amazing in different talented ways so dont you dare DISRESPECT lebron
i had the best time of my life growing up watching him studying and imitating his moves and idolizing him miss you kobe hopefully one day i could meet you in person
kobe is truly one of a kind. i know MJ is the greatest of all time but kobe's footwork and post moves were way better than mike's. We may never see a player with such a beautiful game ever again. Enjoy these last few years watching kobe.
this art is just beautiful. never in my life have i seen a player with such skills and ability to play basketball at such a high level. when this man retires it will be so sad watching this legend go. the nba will be so different without him but he will still live on, for they say legends live forever. cannot wait for your return and to win that 6th ring
Kobe I miss u and wish somehow I could turn back the clock. You are human personified. I watch you every night without fail before I sleep. Tears come to my eyes because when I stop the video I come to reality. I miss you very very much. You are my inspiration. Kobe I love se one to none.
Ugh miss not seeing the lakers in the playoffs again brake mi heart alllll i have left is kobe videos on TH-cam basketball sucks without him wow wha a player thank you for giving me the eyes to see your creator cant wait for nex season kobe will be 18 again lol
As i child i idolized kobe, and when he retires, we're all gonna miss him. We were spoiled of how great he was and we expect him to be every night in and night out. and When he has a bad game, thats when the haters come in. But you can't deny that this man, was one of the best to ever did it. We can't ever take that away from him, he made basketball his life and that's why hes the player he is today.
Incredibly talented player. It's almost like he was put on this earth to play basketball. Even if you hate him it's just so hard to deny that he's one of the most complete players in the NBA right now. It will be a sad day when he retires.
I've seen a good number of Kobe tribute videos, this is possibly one of the best I've seen. Good job...and Kobe is clearly the most talented basketball player in our league today and for the past 10 years.
Even though Im a Celtics fan, and I know about the rivalry between the two teams, Kobe Bryannt is one of my inspirations when it comes to basketball because he makes it look so easy, especially he's beautiful footwork.
Fuck. That was beautiful. Those shots are ridiculously difficult to create and make and to be able to make them consistently year after year is absolutely remarkable. This video was released in 2009 but Kobe was creating art like this afterwards as well. Gonna look for those
I wish Kobe never retires either, its just that the way he plays basketball and his skills and talent it just make you wanna play just like him, he inspires me to wanna play basketball every single day too me he the god of basketball
The only player in the league now can be described as graceful and art. No one even comes close, and I'm not even a Lakers or Kobe's fan. Closest man to MJ.
WOW! hes amazing. seriously nobody in the world right now. is as good as kobe bryant. after these playoffs he is gunna heal and be this kobe that we see in this video. he is gunna be back
there was bird and magic, then theres Jordan, then thiers Kobe. so far i really dont see anyone else electrifying and the tenacity to win like kobe and jordan do.
If you can, share this video or get other people to share this video as much as possible. This video is the best highlight video of Kobe. It really shows Kobe at its highest form
So much confidence. It honestly looks like he doesn't even see the players who are guarding him. So fearless, graceful, and fluid
Borium yea and he can't see his teamates either.
Sasuke Uchiha Hes second in all time assists at the SG position... wym😂
@@GhostyToasty24 2nd to every other player that played sg lol
Anonymous User lol but no, second EVER
Anonymous User Lmao Kobe is higher than Jordan in assists and people still say Kobe never passed

Nicely said. Truly deep words! Nice reading something true on TH-cam for once.

thank you
so very true
+sumit bharti you're dumb as hell. he didn't rape her. that's why she didn't go to court to her little lie. She lied so she could get money.
Stats don't really matter, Look how many assists Russell got this year, yet he's still being called a ball hog.
Kobe can shoot the balls better than anyone in the history . He makes complicated shots look mainstream , his fade away alone could be highlights of any player , Kobe is Art .
MAN..i Love you man🌄🛫
RIP My Boy
Kobe is such a beautiful player to watch. He's got aesthetically the best moves to watch.
i LOVE how this wasn't a "all dunks" highlight reel...jumpshots,turn-arounds,post moves, jab steps, cross overs, spliting defenders, basline lay-ups....these are the TRUE reason i love to see kobe play

si dios quiere hermano lo veremos tambien con otro anillo
Nope but at least we got one more game of it lol
Mark Langston yep far more enjoyable to watch
Rip
Some people hare Kobe but he's one of the most skilled and graceful players to ever play the game. The mans footwork was second to none
It's a shame people hate on this guy…it doesn't matter what team or who you like…this guy is unreal business
It hurts to watch this but I am glad I had the pleasure to watch this man play ball like he did. GOAT!
watching him pull up in slo mo made me cry
Me too
i really miss kobe,.i always watching his old game after he retired in NBA..

😮wow the best player ever #1
because he is so hated, most people just wanna pretend like he wasn't that good. truth is, he's probably the best player ever.
Arguably.. almost at the same level as MJ (GOAT)
I could watch this a million times over... greatest
Most artistic, creative player in history. Every night he brings a different shot or move to the court you haven't seen out of him before
I have to say in my book Kobe and Michael are so close with Kobe taking him by a hair. Both great players of the game.
kobe's like perfect in everything, is there anything kobe can't do?
I watched this several years ago and got chills by the Kobe's slow motion and the epic music. I watch it now, and found out this is a masterpiece combined with two legends in music composing and basketball: Hans Zimmer and Kobe Bryant. Epic stuff!!
kobe is the reason why i love basketball

Had to come back and watch you play bro after your demise!!! Always the skill set and determination and focus!! R.I.P. 🖤🐍
I can watch Kobe play all day hes just so smooth and has a huge variety of moves
Lebron is good obviously but he is boring. It's like watching a cardboard cutout play. Kobe Bryant has the fluidity, and gracefulness that makes basketball fun to watch
andrewf0784 yep far more creativity and brilliance. Nothing better than watching Kobe get into rythym, particularly on a road game.
Don’t disrespect lebron like that bro. I get exactly what you’re saying but you’re referring to scoring. Of course Kobe is by far the better and more creative scorer. But lebron is the way better and more creative passer than Kobe.

“He has so many moves. And he works at those things - great players work at those things.” My favorite description in all this.

Increiable player n person. GOAT!
He might not be the greatest player ever,
but he's definitely the greatest technician EVER, of ALL TIME.
He was so great 20 year in one team not like LeBron jumping from team to team respect
This video makes me emotional…Kobe has the most beautiful game I’ve ever seen…The reason I feel in love with basketball. RIP THE BLACK MAMBA 🐍💜💛
the best footwork I have ever seen LeBron not type of footwork whatsoever
lebron has footwork man and its ugly!
I'm not a lebron fan.. but lebron got speed and power.. while kobe got graceful moves and controlled movements.. both are great..

1:38 i wonder if lebron can do that. let's say after 10 years maybe? or not.
R.I.P. Kobe.
His playing is very beatful.
Shootting form , post move , dunk , body control, etc
Thank you Kobe.

i love kobe's reverses and follow throughs! damn!
I never get tired of watching kobe videos!!!! ITs such a BEAUTIFUL THING!!!
ive been watching kobe videos for the past 3 hours
Incredibly talented player. It's almost like he was put on this earth to play basketball. Even if you hate him it's just so hard to deny that he's one of the most complete players in the NBA right now. It will be a sad day when he retires.
The most amazing Kobe mix ive ever seen. 10000 stars!!!
We missed you Kobe
th-cam.com/video/lIMW1g5q-uU/w-d-xo.html
I've seen a good number of Kobe tribute videos, this is possibly one of the best I've seen. Good job...and Kobe is clearly the most talented basketball player in our league today and for the past 10 years.
Greatest work ethic, and the greatest pure basketball skill the NBA has ever seen.
Even though Im a Celtics fan, and I know about the rivalry between the two teams, Kobe Bryannt is one of my inspirations when it comes to basketball because he makes it look so easy, especially he's beautiful footwork.
i watch this a million times and i get goosebumps everytime
Fuck. That was beautiful. Those shots are ridiculously difficult to create and make and to be able to make them consistently year after year is absolutely remarkable. This video was released in 2009 but Kobe was creating art like this afterwards as well. Gonna look for those
Kobe games is so smooth ...
Amazing...g.o.a.t!!!
.
One of the OG Kobe mixes. I can't believe this was made almost 10 years ago. Wow.
Absolutely Amazing....Kobe Bryant is a hard very hard worker and it paid him off big time.
He didn't even look at the rim on those lay ups. Thats just knowing where you are at ALL times. Unstoppable.
I was a critic, but now I realize, that just like MJ. I miss KOBE. Thank you KOBE, for all you gave us...
This gave me chills
I wish Kobe never retires either, its just that the way he plays basketball and his skills and talent it just make you wanna play just like him, he inspires me to wanna play basketball every single day too me he the god of basketball
this is the best kobe video ive ever seen mann.
best player on the planet!!
nobody else like himm
The only player in the league now can be described as graceful and art. No one even comes close, and I'm not even a Lakers or Kobe's fan. Closest man to MJ.
Just like the NBA hasn't been the same for people who grew up watching Mike, basketball will never be the same to me once Kobe is gone...
I just can't stop watching this video. Gotta have this on my playlist! Amazing player Kobe!
WOW! hes amazing.
seriously nobody in the world right now. is as good as kobe bryant.
after these playoffs he is gunna heal and be this kobe that we see in this video.
he is gunna be back
there was bird and magic, then theres Jordan, then thiers Kobe. so far i really dont see anyone else electrifying and the tenacity to win like kobe and jordan do.
I don't understand why this video has such little amount of views. This should be in the millions.
it's not possible to compare. I've sat down and analyzed this so many times to the point were I've given up.
Rip Kobe and gigi
You will be missed but not forgotten
#Mambaout
If you can, share this video or get other people to share this video as much as possible. This video is the best highlight video of Kobe. It really shows Kobe at its highest form
You can argue that he's the best of this ERA, but don't go beyond that.
