I used to watch this video so much during high school and after to get myself pumped up before hooping. You would have been 45 years old today Kobe, you inspired me and millions of others. Still can’t believe you’re gone man..unreal.
"Bryant led the Aces to their first state championship in 53 years. During the run, he averaged 30.8 points, 12 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 4.0 steals, and 3.8 blocked shots"
A Legend was born, Kobe Bryant HS: 1x State Champ Junior Year: (31.1 PPG/10.4 RPG/5.2 APG) Senior Year: (31.8 PPG/12 RPG/6.5 APG/4 SPG/3.8BPG) Pennsylvania High School All-Time Leading Scorer: (2883 points, yeah more than Wilt'the GOAT' Chamberlain) PRO: 5x NBA World Champ 2x Olympic Gold 1x NBA MVP 2x NBA Playoffs MVP 2x NBA Scoring Champ 4x NBA All-Star Game MVP 1x Slam Dunk Contest Champ 30.000+ points (4th of all time)
I find myself looking at Kobe's highlights, knowing that the best player in his era is going to hang it up in the next season. What a sad reality for all of us who watched him grow these past 20 years...
+jomai2040 Absolutely. Too many wish to try and rank the greats or hate on them. I consider myself lucky to have witnessed his greatness right from the start of his career.
And now he's gone! He, his daughter Gianna & 7 others were killed in a chopper accident in Calabasas, CA on 26 January. Their bodies were buried in an Orange County, CA cemetery yesterday afternoon.
Its currently January 28th, 2020. 2 days since you and Gigi were taken from the world. I'm still waiting for you to tweet that you've awaken because people like you don't die. The Kobe Bryants of the world live forever. I used to love watching this after you retired, just to reminisce on your career. Now, I watch this to reminisce on your life. I fully believe your 2nd career was going to out shine your 1st. You're the GOAT. Rest Easy Kobe!! Rest Easy Gigi. Ready Easy to everyone else in that horrific accident. I hope we make you the logo. Love you, always.❤
sounds like what i said when watching him during his high school days; thought he could be the closeest thing to jordan, since jordan..and he has been that.
Kobe is the perfect blend of flashy and fundamentals what a lot of people don't understand is that if Kobe wanted to lead the NBA in assist every year he could. He is flat out one of the best SG in NBA history. I also love when people who hate the lakers (me being one ) talks about how he sucks
I'm just reading an article about just-out of high school Kobe at his pre-draft workouts. "The Lakers set it up at the old Fabulous Forum in Inglewood, Kobe matching up with Dontae Jones, a big, physical, 6-foot-8 senior who had just led Mississippi State to the Final Four. It was no contest; Kobe destroyed Jones from the word “go.” GM Jerry West came down from the stands saying ‘Shut down the workout’. He didn’t need to see any more. That was it. Game over." The Lakers got Kobe that draft.
kobe is all about winning and getting the glory becoming better the michael jordan making his name famous this video shows how he wanted 2 win the championship when he was in high school and he did not the 1st time but he did do it the 2nd time and kobe still has that mentality of winning till this day thats what seperates him from lebron and dwayne wade and thats why he has 5 rings and he won't stop until he passes michael jordan so he could be the all time greatest
I used to watch this so much throughout my high school basketball days. Can’t believe you’re gone Kobe. I don’t wanna believe it.
U can tell by his swagger he knew he was the next greatest player
Wow, this kid is really good!! I'll definitely keep an eye out for him
what rock have you been under? lmao

Jba 99 ,jfm
I really don't just understand how a person I never met is that important to me .... I really miss you bro ...really
RIP to one of the greatest players of all time. Thanks for the memories and inspiration. The legacy of the Black Mamba will never die.
I miss you all ready Kobe. Basketball will miss your talent

Now everyone no matter they know any basketball or not miss him 😭😭
How’d you predict his death
I used to watch this video so much during high school and after to get myself pumped up before hooping. You would have been 45 years old today Kobe, you inspired me and millions of others. Still can’t believe you’re gone man..unreal.
He literally looks exactly the same
Gonna be a sad day when the kid retires... sigh time flies by.
A couple more weeks left of him :(
Solo rip
MSY that didn’t age well...

Wish I could have dunked like that in high school. Sheesh
Ikr
I think this guy will play for the lakers and win 5 rings with them
Fake he retired by then
This kid has potential
Possibly the greatest high school basketball player ever
nope. lebron james is the greatest high school basketball player
+real silver all stupid
i think lebron was better in high school.
Possibly hints at doubt. Its like saying I'm possibly pregnant either you are or you aren't. Kobe was the best Highschool Player ever now he is gone.
HarelmsKnight
Fair point. I should have used the word *arguably*.
As soon as kobe took his 1st steps as a baby.....he became a basketball superstar
I find myself looking at Kobe's highlights, knowing that the best player in his era is going to hang it up in the next season. What a sad reality for all of us who watched him grow these past 20 years...

Absolutely. Too many wish to try and rank the greats or hate on them. I consider myself lucky to have witnessed his greatness right from the start of his career.
Lmao this man was a God in high school
Wow this guy could be the next Jordan. I think he needs to bulk up though. Duke will suit him well.
Lol
+Matthew Nam I think he's good enough to make it to the NBA as a lottery pick. He should try and force his way into the Lakers.
+Random Bike Trips Lakers need a player like this kid and if this kid had a bigman like shaq on his team they would annihilate any competition
Thank you Kobe for inspiring me to pick up a basketball and dream big. RIP MAMBA.
RIP, Greatest Athlete of the 21st Century
What year is he? The kid is talented, but he'll never make it professionally with that attitude. We'll see how he does in college.
he looks just like kobe bryant
robert ewing Who?
that kid in the video
Straight out of high-school? He's too young..not NBA ready.. :)
wtf
hope this dude makes it to the nba
+KooliSkey I have a feeling that this kid will spend 20 years with one team and be a 18 all team all star
+OG Boobie when is his debut?
+andrewiskb24 hopefully he becomes a starter for the lakers in 1987 and retires April 13 2016 i dont know i feel like i can predict the future
+OG Boobie wtf its april 13 2016 rn how we gonna go back in time
+OG Boobie smh 1996 not 1987 tho
R.I.P. Kobe aka Black Mamba
damn kobes always had that great looking jump shot. Tremendous form
This kid could be the face of motivation one day. Damn his taking Brandy to the prom?
1:27 looks like julian newman
yoooo wacthed this back in 06 when i was in the 6th grade; song and highlights hit different now..........KOBEEEEEEE
Kobe Bryant, deep dude, RIP 😭💔, respect 💪.
So, i wonder what became of this guy?
D league
Why don't you search about it
And now he's gone! He, his daughter Gianna & 7 others were killed in a chopper accident in Calabasas, CA on 26 January. Their bodies were buried in an Orange County, CA cemetery yesterday afternoon.
Kobe just got killed 🤦🏾♂️ I can not believe it.
Rest In Peace Kobe. Love you bro
Thanks for all you brought to basketball - r. i. p with your lovely daughter 😪
Came here for Evan Monsky
+Justo Mendoza lmao, just watched his interview thing
I think he's too skinny to ever make it to the NBA. He may be able to make it on the squad or some junior college or community college though
+Zumbi Dos Palmares hes actually been in the nba for 20 years now. his name is kobe bryant
I doubt it
haha
5 championship ring 3 Mvps and hall of famer
+navjotjohal johal He has 1 mvp.
Kobe Bryant is the legend like m. Jordan and l.james d. Wade
RIP Kobe, you will truly be missed
No way he makes it to the NBA he will go to a D3 college at best
Dude this is like the 8,367 comment like that... shut up
+Jackson Salyer Behr No
+Karim Scott I heard d1 wants him but he just wants to go to the lakers but they dont need anymore players maybe in 20 years
Was still in high school, NEVER went to college, but putting up the sign for Omega Psi Phi fraternity @0:56....🤔
Awesome Highlight reel. Kobe's the man. Nobody has his drive. N O B O D Y!
Its currently January 28th, 2020. 2 days since you and Gigi were taken from the world. I'm still waiting for you to tweet that you've awaken because people like you don't die. The Kobe Bryants of the world live forever.
I used to love watching this after you retired, just to reminisce on your career. Now, I watch this to reminisce on your life. I fully believe your 2nd career was going to out shine your 1st. You're the GOAT. Rest Easy Kobe!! Rest Easy Gigi. Ready Easy to everyone else in that horrific accident.
I hope we make you the logo. Love you, always.❤
Just watched this for the first time, hit me right in the feels
inspiring story and player. Watching driven athletes like kobe makes you want to push yourself in life and sports
Damn I remember watching Kobe vs Thon Maker in a highschool playoff game unreal!!!
For me Kobe has the most colorful story ever.
I used to remember watch this video again and again when I am in middle school.
RIP Kobe, this was always my favorite mix
Kobe was swaggin' out even as a youngin' RESPECT.
bout time some one agrees wit me. i always say kobe reminds of tupac. 2 legends,
Still crazy that you Gone Goat😢💔
no lie i can see the heart of a champion in this one
So many didnt know he was alr in the nba
This is back in the day before the internet exploded. Footage is limited. I've seen this mix a bunch of times, with just different music.
The man looks exactly the same thats absolutely amazing,he was 16 years old in these clips.
Kobe was still a beast in high school ..
its like kobe went back in time :O he looks the same he is the best back then and he is the best even now
This guy's gonna be a good nba player. Maybe even great!☺
I can' t believe this guy grew up 50 km from my hometown in Italy!! And he speak perfect italian too!!
True Talent will never be forgotten but forever missed
This kid was a showman.
So much potential, I bet he's going to be a star when he makes the NBA.
sounds like what i said when watching him during his high school days; thought he could be the closeest thing to jordan, since jordan..and he has been that.
RIP Kobe and Gianna and other people my heart goes out to all the family's.🙏
It seems like Kobe liked his left hand more than his right. He balanced his body out perfectly
kobe made dunking look so easy in his high school dayz......between the legs is a hard dunk, only few nba player can do it.
This video just hits so much harder now... damn
back then they say.. " this player will be legend "
I swear whether its high school or nba highlights, Kobe's video is always cooler
Kobe is the perfect blend of flashy and fundamentals what a lot of people don't understand is that if Kobe wanted to lead the NBA in assist every year he could. He is flat out one of the best SG in NBA
history. I also love when people who hate the lakers (me being one ) talks about how he sucks

The Lakers got Kobe that draft.
He would have never gone pro if he passed the ball. He's a pure scorer, it's what he does best.
I think this kid can win at least 5 championships
It's weird to see Kobe so thin and young. This is the first time I've seen him in High school
This kid has a bright future ahead of him.
Cool compilation, thanks niccorneau.
Sick mix man!!
mark my words, this kid will be SICK in the nba one day.
....
I remember watching this years ago
ONE DAY THIS GUY WILL BE AN ALLSTAR IN THE NBA .....
Now this is a real mixtape
if he keeps this up he might make it to the NBA
Hope he gets drafted. I would love if he had a shoe deal coming his way. Would 10/10 buy
kobe was better than most nba players in high school!
damn this kid is gonna be great one day
kobe's highschool day was best than lebron's highschool days..
even when kobe is in highschool he is so entertaining to watch..
Kobe Bryant back in high school was in demand
kobe is all about winning and getting the glory becoming better
the michael jordan making his name famous
this video shows how he wanted 2 win the championship when he
was in high school and he did not the 1st time but he did do it the 2nd
time and kobe still has that mentality of winning till this day
thats what seperates him from lebron and dwayne wade
and thats why he has 5 rings and he won't stop until he passes
michael jordan so he could be the all time greatest
Kobe Bryant is the best player in this last generation of players
If this kid works hard, he can make the NBA some day.
KOBE WILL BE AN OLYMPIC CHAMPION AGAIN! ENOUGH SAID!..
yeah i can't wait to see him in action in the nba.
Damn I bet it felt good to be that good in high school
LOL...at that hand signal he's doing. Young Kobe was definitely a kung fu fan. Good Stuff.
definitely the greatest player to ever play in the NBA straight out of high school
who woulda thought this teenager would become the greatest nba player
you know he made it with every single one of those cheerleaders
this guy should play in the NBA - damn!
who knew he would grow up to be the 2nd best of all time
