They're not made like Kobe anymore. When he came to play he came to give the fans their money's worth. Kobe did not cheat the game. He exhausted all his talents. Thank you Kobe
There were no miracle shots by Kobe. Practice and hard work. Add to those things incredible talent and a ruthless warrior mentality. I think all of those things should be his legacy in the NBA.
Imagine being so good at basketball that the defender guards your dominant hand pretty well and you are like, ''screw it, I'll hit this corner 3 with my off hand''
@@MrBig-qi2yt lmao good one made me laugh cuz Lebron can never make none of those shots lmao lebrons the greatest driver to the rim of all time that’s it
I hate how much he's left out in the GOAT conversation. Kobe's career was absolute CLUTCH. My favorite player of all time. There's a reason why when you shoot a ball of paper into the trash bin, you yell, "kobeeeeee"
There is not a single player in todays game doing what Kobe did. He was the penultimate of his style, played the game with reckless abandon and was easily the funnest player to watch of all time.
I hate sports. If I had to watch sports basketball will be at the bottom of my list alongside American football. 4 tiers underneath woman's arm wrestling. But my old man enjoyed basketball and I must admit whenever I seen this bean Bryant in the game it was the funnest shit ever. Good memories
They talk about his efficency, his shooting percentages, but leave out context and the truth is kobe was constantly double and triple teamed and was still a high scorer, tied with tim Duncan for most fundamentally sound player of all time, and the 2nd greatest player of all time behind MJ
@@jacobesau9289 This is a fact that I wish more people understood. Kobe's FG% was at the very least league average for most/all of his career, but the critics would have you thinking Kobe was shooting 30% from the field. Sure, league average is literally average but with the context of the shots he made, league average is still worth it.
This man really hit a fadeaway three with his left hand like it was nothing. Especially with the way the games evolving we will never see such a skilled played again.
Johnathan Zobel you saying it doesn’t take any skill to jump that high? Power comes from training, which is the same source of skill. Also curry is more skilled than Kobe
@zion bro you only say that because hes dead. Kobe is goated. obviously. but were not gonna act like kobe is a better shooter than steph. yeah steph gets more help. not my fault the lakers couldnt set screens. i dont think kobe hit 105 threes in a row kobe is the best player of all time. yea better player than steph no shit obviously but when you try to say hes a better overall SHOOTER than steph just because ur kissing up to him because he passed, it triggers someone like me. ive been a fan of kobe. i know hes a goated shooter. top 5 three point. hell top 3. but dont say hes a better 3 point shooter than curry. or a better contested one either. or a crazier one.
@@gabriellewis9258 well contested, depends. If we're talking about post fades especially from mid range he's better than curry, obviously curry is better from 3 and basically everywhere else and everything, but mid range post fade idk. But Kobe's contested shots are still extremely good.
@gabriellewis9258 You know damn well Stephen Curry can't hit these shots at the Kobe can hit them. Yeah, Curry's the greatest shooter of all time, but Kobe is definitely a better shot creater.
Look at Kobe's shot at 3:18, the defender comes into kobe's airspace and doesn't allow him a good landing. In today's NBA the offensive player would've fallen on their backside to try and draw a foul, namely, James Harden. Kobe? no. He'd rather hit the tough shot.
He even fade away so yes 100% a foul; when harden shot even is step back he always fall into the defender to cause the contact so the Ref way give him the fouls even when he cause the contact but Kobe fall backwards and defenders move under his foot so today game it would have been too easy for him.
Kobe was different he loved the challenge of difficult and he had that grit to win. Mamba was an assassin always looking for weakness. RIP Kobe and Gianna. Gone too soon.
Since I got these comments so much on my Stephen Curry video, I feel like I need to clarify... *The word "impossible" isn't supposed to be taken literally. I know that the shots obviously aren't "impossible" bEcaUsE hE aLrEAdY diD thEm, I mean that they're VERY HARD.*
Idc what people say Kobe is top 3 in NBA history MJ lebron Kobe idc what order you choose this is the top 3 of all time Kobe’s intensity and mentality was something different he was never afraid of the moment and learned from his failures at a young age what made him great was his work and his will to get better everyday no matter the cost.
Basketball isn't that big in my Country like Football ( Soccer) but I remember I just started following Basketball when I was young because of him. I just felt this love for him as if I was in the Arena watching him live anytime he was on that court
Anybody else notice that his teammates didn't even react when he hit the first shot? OT and the game is tied with 48 seconds left. The fact that they don't get up and cheer makes me wonder if they're just used to it or if they really hate Kobe as a teammate.
Kobe is about realizing your full potential, and being a life long overachiever (mean it in the best way possible). He doesn't have the athleticism or size, he can have awful shooting nights, but he always demands the ball and keeps shooting. When you work that hard, and shoot that many shots, miracles are bound to happen. In my humble opinion, that's what the Mamba Mentality is all about.
And to add, these shots aren't just technically hard. Look at the timing for most of them; 4th quarter, his team down and shot clock winding down. It's not like the score is tied or his team is leading, if he misses them his team is sent packing. Go big or go bust in every literal sense and to be able to hit them over and over is just clutch.
The impossible shots he made in big games…. Time in and out. His will was extraordinary!! Skills beyond belief. 8/24 forever. Rest easy King. Greatly missed and remembered.
Look at the clock on all these shots, I miss Kobe so much, such killer instinct, never folding under pressure. He welcomes the pressure. They don’t make them like Kobe anymore
FUCK that game against the Raptors when he hit like 3-4 straight clutch shots was fucking ridiculous… it’s crazy how people rate Kobe any lower than 3 all time.
A lot of these shots were against really good defense.. I gotta admit I believe mike is the goat but when it comes to making ridiculous shots Kobe was right there.. I would love to see both of them in their both in their prime playing 21 by 1 threes 2... Don’t know who would win
That's how you know you the greatest when you have more than 2 defenders on you and you still make that clutch shot game winner miss that competivtiness mentality in the game now this generation of NBA players lack competitvness in the game every body is flopping and crying in the games
Aaron Day so what if Kobe takes more difficult shots, it’s about GETTING buckets not how you get them, also statistically LeBron is more clutch than kobe
Timothy Y and Kobe has missed about 90% of those shots, these were the lucky ones, also who cares about how you get a bucket. As long as you get them that’s what matters
Saden Uttie ! And he was making these shots consistently so how is it luck but if LeBron made these shoes you will be sucking him off saying he’s such a goat this and that
There’s always the comparison between MJ and Kobe, I think Kobe was the more refined player, and better shooter. I do think Kobe had a specific ferocity that other players couldn’t and didn’t want to deal with. He was incredible.
Might not be in the G.o.a.t. convo but Kobe is hands down the second best two guard to ever play next to MJ. And I won't say he's the G.O.A.T because that's MJ but Kobe should be second on anybody's list and he doesn't get nearly the credit he deserves
Probably the only guard in modernNBA history who would welcome an opportunity to take prime MJ on one-on-one. I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t pay top dollar to see that.
@@fingersp00n60 I'd love to see anyone with higher FG% that has the ability to take these insanely difficult shots as constitantly as Kobe. The only one who may come close is Steph curry and hes arguably the best shooter in history.

Its 2000 actually lol
Actually 7,000
this shit will never be forgotten, one of the most magical players ever.
Literally no one can make these shots but Kobe. Literally no one. And definitely not at the rate that he hit them

obviously.

The degree of Difficulty of Kobe’s Shots selection has never been seen; and maybe never seen again, while playing 1st All NBA defense 🐐
Just nasty man. I remember a lot of those plays. Haven’t seen ANYTHING like it sense
KOBE!!!!!!
RIP🙏🙏🙏
People will judge him by his percentages. I judge him by this video.
Risk taker (KOBE) vs Soft / Play safe for stats (Lebron)
Basketball isn't that big in my Country like Football ( Soccer) but I remember I just started following Basketball when I was young because of him. I just felt this love for him as if I was in the Arena watching him live anytime he was on that court
This dude was a legend and he could speak three foreign languages he was amazing!
One of the best to play
Best player in the world i miss him after he died the world started falling apart 😢😩
i miss you legend
Clutchest player of all time
Anybody else notice that his teammates didn't even react when he hit the first shot? OT and the game is tied with 48 seconds left. The fact that they don't get up and cheer makes me wonder if they're just used to it or if they really hate Kobe as a teammate.
Jason Moynihan combination
Nah, Kobe only liked to celebrate after the win. They knew what was up. Nothing to be proud of, if It ain't over
That damn 1 second 3 pointer on the blazers bro🥶🥶🥶 I remember watching that live.. the announcers for the blazers go silent as Kobe hit that 🤣🤣🤣
Kobe is about realizing your full potential, and being a life long overachiever (mean it in the best way possible).

When you work that hard, and shoot that many shots, miracles are bound to happen. In my humble opinion, that's what the Mamba Mentality is all about.
Seems every now and then I need a dose of what for me was a magical basketball player to watch. Never ever did he let up.
Most, skilled player ever
That's what everyone says
Kobe took so many bad shoots he got good at them
R.I.P Kobe we will always remember you in heart💔💔👼👼
Not a single travel on this as well, this man is fundamentally sound
And to add, these shots aren't just technically hard. Look at the timing for most of them; 4th quarter, his team down and shot clock winding down.

Who's watching this a year after Kobe died
Chills watching this
The incredible focus this man had is impossible to explain
Greatest scorer of All Time ‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥🔥
4:00
That no-look inbound from Steve Nash 🔥🔥🔥
I use to think Kobe took terrible shots when I didn’t understand the game but now I understand he put in the work to take those type of shots
He still made them tho. Wild still got see him play live in staples when was in cali
Best player of all time
LeBron not touching, bro, R.I.P. Black Mamba!!!
sitting in my car, jus crying as i watch these clips

Guy was unbelievable
Curry this season
@Future Hendrix he said something like that not exactly the same thing

That's how you know you the greatest when you have more than 2 defenders on you and you still make that clutch shot game winner miss that competivtiness mentality in the game now this generation of NBA players lack competitvness in the game every body is flopping and crying in the games
But kobe retired only 3 years ago,its not like kobe retired 30 yeard ago
kobe put in that hard work it payed off he never gave up i hope this was inspiracional for u
KOBE BETTER THAN MJ...MJ would of missed some of those difficult shots....any who watched is a fool not to recognize the greatness of Kobe THE GOAT
This is why I take Kobe in his prime over Lebron. Lebron does not make difficult shots! Its all dunks by Lebron
Aaron Day so what if Kobe takes more difficult shots, it’s about GETTING buckets not how you get them, also statistically LeBron is more clutch than kobe
Timothy Y and Kobe has missed about 90% of those shots, these were the lucky ones, also who cares about how you get a bucket. As long as you get them that’s what matters
Saden Uttie ! Kobe has made way more clutch shots than Lebron
Saden Uttie ! And he was making these shots consistently so how is it luck but if LeBron made these shoes you will be sucking him off saying he’s such a goat this and that
When you create your player with maxed out shooting stats

Not only is Kobe’s games winner at 5:23 epic, but he may have also been fouled.

These are the types of shot that will just shake u your head and ask yourself, how do you defend that?
