dropped 81 against raptors which were the worst team in the nba at the time..rofl. Drop 60 points because his teammates fed him the ball every posession. Hardly the GOAT
@@James-sn5mg The raptors finished as the 3rd seed lol. Jalen Rose didn't understand why the coach didn't tell them to double team Kobe. The 60 point game was his final performance and the crowd wanted it so ofc his teammates had to feed him the ball, I mean wouldn't you? Now, thats facts to consider.
Thank you for everything. All game winners, all the highlight dunks, and that you for showing us how to be relentless toward the things we want in life. You will always be an inspiration and always be remembered.
I know everything about him , he's my fav player of all time . Watched him get drafted by the hornets 13 overall pick in 1996 and watching him now with Lakers doing his thing over 17 years in the league
He was a great player, Lebron might end up having a better career but Kobe had a big shot making and takeover ability like no one I've ever seen. I would say he's the greatest player of my generation
Kobe is this generation's MJ, anyone who says otherwise is simply ignorant. Lebron James is not the second MJ, he is the first Lebron James. MJ: *6' 6 SG, 6 rings ,three-peat x2, played for one franchise throughout prime* KB: *6' 6 SG, 5 rings, three-peat x1, played for one franchise throughout prime* LJ: 6' 8 SF, 2 rings, three-peat x0, played for both Heat and Cavs in his prime
Wow Kobe such an achiever and inspiration. The world is less great without you in it 😓 thank you Kobe and Gianna for your dedication and the gifts you gave us all 💜
Riley Why automatically assume he is a LeBron Fan? He probably hates him aswell, just stop assuming and grow up with that shit, it's obviously just you who hates LeBron smh kid 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
His will Power is Awesome and his talent is Legendary! Kobe Bryant will always be my #1 player. If some one can come along and top his all around skills and records I would really be in aw of the performance. The stuff he does so regularly would leave you thinking it was easy and then you expect nightly miracles...Thats how good of a player he is, even the people who are not fans come to watch his stuff on a regular basis. If they are not talking about him I guess their is not that much to say
Kobe for me, as a fan of basketball, was NBA ready from day one. He might not have been the best statistically right from the start, but here was the guy who from day one, wanted to be the best player EVER, or at least the best player that he can be... while other budding superstars just wanted to be the best player on their team early in their career..
Jordan > Kobe > Lebron > Durant. All four will go down as the top 20 NBA players of all time maybe top 10. When Durant starts to get old I wonder who else will come along, maybe it's Anthony Davis. It's crazy how every time one of these players start to age, another star comes along. The game of basketball is all about evolution. Gonna hate to see Kobe retire definitely one of the best. Time flies
man...still miss you bro !! I remember every time there was a lakers game my aunty would cook some food and we would eat while watching the game. still can’t believe what happened to you and gianna. atleast you’ll have someone to have fun with up above. been having that lakers poster on my bedroom wall for years and I don’t plan on taking it down anytime soon. rest up kobe.
Timmy has the most intense "look". Another thing I wondered is why they got rid of Ariza so early, he was a great role player. He wasn't bad this year in the playoffs either. You know I bet that playing all that soccer helped him play so many minutes. His conditioning is amazing.
That young cocky kobe walking on the draft stage is the very reason this 30 year old started watching basketball!! Kobe is and was basketball Jesus to me!!
penguinfan I’m late but what a stupid fucking comment. He was saying he’s thankful for his profession, it has nothing to do with his rape scandal. You Kobe haters always say the same shit lol and it’s always invalid
Nah, c'mon man, if he DID play *football** he would also make me one the happiest people on earth. Just imagine a guy like him playing a sport as complex as *football**
I lost over 250lbs and reversed Type 2 diabetes and THE MAMABA MENTALITY guided me. Kobe has permeated so many people’s minds, it’s undeniable. He’s my GOAT, no player has ever made a REAL IMPACT on my life the way he has, and still continues to do. There’s a silver lining to your passing Kob’, we’ve all been forced to elevate eternally until our last breathes. Only you could find a way how to perpetually motivate me and the true Mamba Mentality followers. Rest Up Bean, every goal I achieve until the day die will be laced with the philosophy that you gave me. Thank You, words will never express how indebted I am to you. Love you Bruh.
i am a heat fan. mostly lebron and wade. BUT the reason that gives such greatness to Kobe's game/legacy is his mindset and intensity which i feel most of the other players dont have and that really seperates him from everyone else just like MJ when he was playing.
It's funny how Kobe vs LeBron is similar to Bird vs Magic. Kobe won same as Magic, but had mentality/played more like Bird. LeBron won like Bird (1 less ring, so far), but had mentality/played more like Magic. They are just reverse roles in this era.
People bringing Lebron up on a Kobe video. Kobe been to finals 7 times from 2000-2010 and won 5, Lebron great player been to the finals 6 times won 2 chips.
@@larriors9124 bro Kareem and majic is def top 10.. wade had a chip and a final mvp before bron got there wade top 5 arguably top 3 two guard all time.. pippen top 50 greatest player hof defensive specialist..they all Hofs like I said they all needed help
Among the things you should realize about Kobe Bryant...there is a very small list of people who are that competitive and that intense about winning. Magic, Bird, Jordan, Russell...these guys ate, slept and breathed basketball. Kobe is no different. Regardless of who is better, he is still a top 10 all time player in my opinion, and deserves to be recognized as such.
So is there complaining now that Lebron needed wade and bosh? Than miller and Ray Allan ? Come on mj needed help, Kobe needed help but so did Lebron it's stupid to complaint about who had help and who didn't because at the end of the day all of those 3 amazing players didn't win without help
But Lebron has himself and Wade, two of the top 5 players in the NBA, Bosh, a top ten player, Ray Allen, a top 20 player etc...And every single bench player is better then the Lakers bench and put up more numbers then the Lakers bench. Please tell me where Gasol ranked in the NBA when they won? 30-40 on a good day... What about the rest? Did Kobe even have one top 20 player in his two recent championships? That is the difference people hate to acknowledge. Kobe, Durant, anyone of them could win easily with the current heat team. There is nothing to be proud off, plus Lebron was lucky to be in the east, the west is got like 7 deadly teams, the east has 2, Miami included. Easy pickings for the eastern team, while the western teams have to play championship level basketball all the way to the finals.
Calikid331 that's because of todays game and how it is played and managed, it's not lebrons fault that people want to play with him, people were scared of mj and didn't like the way he treated his teammates, but the teammates he had knew he could help them win so they stayed. Kobe is nicer than michael was to his teammates, it's just kobe tends to not trust his teammates when he ends up hogging the field goal attempts. Im not a fan of either miami or lakers franchise, but i am a fan of kobe, and lebron, i can't say im a fan of mj because i wasnt old enough to understand basketball when he was playing. Last i can rememebr watching him play, was his last game vs sixers.
Homeless to Greatness man they were rolling too 😂💯 Kobe was on a tear that me being only 11 at the time has never seen before and to this day 2012-13 kobe Bryant was the best basketball player I’ve ever seen and I seen lebron now as I’m 17 and Durant and curry and those guys but to me kobe in year 17 was better than any player I’ve ever seen
I was hoping 2020 would’ve been a better year after losing my mother, then this happened. I don’t know Kobe personally, but my mother enjoyed watching every Lakers game and most especially Kobe. He truly was an inspiration .RIP Kobe, Gigi and all the families involved ❤️🙏🏽😪 Praying for the world as well against the coronavirus🙏🏽❤️🌎
one day there will be a kevin durant type of player who will shoot like close to steph and have handles like kyrie and killer instinct of jordan/kobe type. wonder if it will be in my lifetime
Smh. Funny right? I'm a Kobe fan, and I have two friends that are LeBron fans. Everytime we watch SportsCenter, and they mention Kobe, my friends are all like "Oh. Get Kobe's old ass out of here! He needs to retire! He sucks ass now. That's why LeBron is always better." Funny thing is, LeBron's ass is only 6 years younger than Kobe. In terms of chamionship titles, playmaking, executioning shots, and in terms of style, Kobe blows Lebron's ass out of here. Also, people wanna say Kobe only won because of Shaq. So if LeBron never had Wade or Bosh, would he still would've won those two titles in 2013 and 2014? We already saw that he can't lead a damn team by himself against the Warriors in the 2015 Finals. Kobe can. (Look up "Kobe's 81 Point Game") In the end, LeBron is a damn good player. But his prime vs Kobe's isn't equivalent to shit. No matter Kobe's current status now, or "LeBron never got a chance!". They aren't equal at all.
my only argument is when u said lebron couldn't lead his team to beat warriors and ur Kobe comparison was the 81 point game. that doesn't make sense. lebron vs warriors was a Finals, more than one game. which in that case u saw lebron at least win 2 games vs golden state and he was averaging close to 40. can't compare a finals to one game , that's all. not trying to start an argument but lebron did at least take the 07 cavs to finals as well. ✌
+Nate R nigga please, we all know lebron is a great player and shit but you cannot compare him to kobe you just cant and you just dont aside from their accomplishments. i ask you who is the better player in their prime kobe or lebron?
so you're evidence that Kobe can lead a team by himself in the finals against a team like the Warriors is his 81 point game against a crappy raptors team? There's a reason Kobe never wins unless he has Phil Jackson and like Lebron, at least one other all star on his team.
Then his parents disowned him for dating a latina when he had no one of his complexion around him growing up and found a liking for a different race. Fuck his parents
@@Edgar_Allan_Foe666Regardless of their PERSONAL family issues they were still his parents & without them there would have been no Kobe period! They raised him well. & they have still lost their son too. Show a little respect.
@@Edgar_Allan_Foe666 its perfectly alright for his folks to want him to marry someone with his same background, ethnicity, roots, and culture.stop being ignorant of reality
@@Edgar_Allan_Foe666 Nobody asked you to debate. & any dummy knows about the fall out with Kobe & his parents over various issues. So I highly doubt anyone needs to do their "research". Bottom line is you didn't know Kobe or his family personally. None of us outsiders did. Now since your bothered by everyone else's comments maybe you should do a little research of your own on what it means to be non- judgemental with an open mind.
He didn't make one shot in that game. He sparked a 10 point come back in the final 6 minutes of the game. He scored 11 points in that stretch including the game winning shot. And he was praised for his drive and belief in himself. Most people, not even basketball players, but people in general would get down on themselves performing at anything so horribly. But Kobe stayed confident, and poised. That's commendable. And its FAR from the first time he's done admirable things on the court.
Sometimes the media does exaggerate on him, but you can't deny what he has done during his whole career and he deserves to be up there with the best of them. True, he wouldn't have won without Shaq, but I don't think Shaq would have won without him either. It is true that Basketball is won by Teams not by individual performances, but there will always be that one guy who will be a step above his teammates and lead that team and that is Kobe.
No offense to Kobe fans out there. Back in 2008, ive seen Kobe play but not that much. Ive been hearing Kobe Bryant's stories. People are calling him, "The GOAT", "Closer" blablabalbbla. So I decided to watch his games. On TV of course. And I was disappointed because he kept missing shots, he dont pass the ball. Hes already tripled team and yet he still doesnt pass the ball and still forcing it. I dont get why people have exxagerated Kobe's stories. Why? because of his 81 points? I know Kobe Bryant's history. He won 3 rings that Shaquille O'neal gave him. Kobe Bryant lead the 2000-2002 lakers? i dont think so. He atleast helped the Lakers? but he played horrible during 2000-2003 finals. Even in playoffs. Im not hating on Kobe Bryant. Im just saying what my eyes are seeing.
Saying that hes in the top 10 is ridiculous. Id place him in my top 30-40. Did you mention him being consistent? Are you kidding me? I watch his games almost every night, youre wrong by saying hes shooting 10/20 every game and hes rarely having an off game. You dont watch him play. Not to mention he has the most missed shot of an NBA player.
and youre ignorant because you dont check out the real stats. Those stats you gave me are made up. Go check the shooting percentage of Kevin Durant compared to Kobe Bryant. Kobe Bryant's percentage isnt even comparable to Lebron James' percentage.
But then again, thats your top 10 lists. I cant complain to yours because its obviously your biased opinion. If imma list my top 10, itll of course be biased too.
Kobe is the best player to play since Kareem Abdul Jabbar THe Captain, and it is so unfortunate that he got hurt at the end of the season after he leads them to making the playoffs potentially, if they beat the Spurs tongiht. my thoughts and prayers go out to Kobe for a speedy recovery so he can come back and impress all of us with his amazing ability to do anything on the court.
RIP to a blessing. May he have a smooth transition to the infinite.
That was a really nice saying, thank you I’m always going to remember this
@Mr. Mister that's pathetic. Learn history u simp
His life was that transition. Showed us all how it’s done
Mr. Mister Was he Christian?
Nonsense. Dude worshipped Lucifer just the truth.
kobe's mindset and mentality is what keeps me going when i feel like giving up
Rest Up Kobe....
Vina Cao same I have tons or other people that I admire

Shannon Sharpe Im not a crackhead Im just a NBA fan so keep that shit on Twitter. And Sterling was way better
Don't worry I'm coming bro.
I'm averaging 29.7 ppg
9.8 apg
8.9 rpg
1.57 spg
0.6 turnovers per game
Well at least in my dreams i am...
Smh. Funny right? I'm a Kobe fan, and I have two friends that are LeBron fans.
Everytime we watch SportsCenter, and they mention Kobe, my friends are all like "Oh. Get Kobe's old ass out of here! He needs to retire! He sucks ass now. That's why LeBron is always better." Funny thing is, LeBron's ass is only 6 years younger than Kobe. In terms of chamionship titles, playmaking, executioning shots, and in terms of style, Kobe blows Lebron's ass out of here. Also, people wanna say Kobe only won because of Shaq. So if LeBron never had Wade or Bosh, would he still would've won those two titles in 2013 and 2014? We already saw that he can't lead a damn team by himself against the Warriors in the 2015 Finals. Kobe can. (Look up "Kobe's 81 Point Game") In the end, LeBron is a damn good player. But his prime vs Kobe's isn't equivalent to shit. No matter Kobe's current status now, or "LeBron never got a chance!". They aren't equal at all.
my only argument is when u said lebron couldn't lead his team to beat warriors and ur Kobe comparison was the 81 point game. that doesn't make sense. lebron vs warriors was a Finals, more than one game. which in that case u saw lebron at least win 2 games vs golden state and he was averaging close to 40. can't compare a finals to one game , that's all. not trying to start an argument but lebron did at least take the 07 cavs to finals as well. ✌
+Nate R nigga please, we all know lebron is a great player and shit but you cannot compare him to kobe you just cant and you just dont aside from their accomplishments. i ask you who is the better player in their prime kobe or lebron?
+Nate R lebrons trip to the finals in 07 was a cakewalk and was exposed when they got swept by the spurs. east was so weak
so you're evidence that Kobe can lead a team by himself in the finals against a team like the Warriors is his 81 point game against a crappy raptors team? There's a reason Kobe never wins unless he has Phil Jackson and like Lebron, at least one other all star on his team.
+Miles Davis Robert Horry better than mj and Kobe I guess. 7>5 7>6 lol stfu idiot.
after he retires, we'll be lucky to see anyone as determined as him. lucky to see "that look" in another players eyes.
This video hits different now😪 rip Kobe
No one in this era can beat prime Kobe 1 on 1 nobody period.
He really looks like 2Pac!
Even though he was with his family he was essentially alone. aka he was the only black kid in town. LoL...
Then his parents disowned him for dating a latina when he had no one of his complexion around him growing up and found a liking for a different race. Fuck his parents
@@Edgar_Allan_Foe666Regardless of their PERSONAL family issues they were still his parents & without them there would have been no Kobe period! They raised him well. & they have still lost their son too. Show a little respect.
@@Edgar_Allan_Foe666 its perfectly alright for his folks to want him to marry someone with his same background, ethnicity, roots, and culture.stop being ignorant of reality
For those bothered by my response, do your research. Until then, I'm not debating
@@Edgar_Allan_Foe666 Nobody asked you to debate.
& any dummy knows about the fall out with Kobe & his parents over various issues.
So I highly doubt anyone needs to do their "research".
Bottom line is you didn't know Kobe or his family personally. None of us outsiders did.
Now since your bothered by everyone else's comments maybe you should do a little research of your own on what it means to be non- judgemental with an open mind.
He didn't make one shot in that game. He sparked a 10 point come back in the final 6 minutes of the game. He scored 11 points in that stretch including the game winning shot. And he was praised for his drive and belief in himself. Most people, not even basketball players, but people in general would get down on themselves performing at anything so horribly. But Kobe stayed confident, and poised. That's commendable. And its FAR from the first time he's done admirable things on the court.
You will always be in our hearts kobe!

Charlotte lost a trophy
+artunnn3 and that's why he has 5 right? Lol
TheJameskil they lost a jersey that could have been retired in their rafters
Kobe also lost his life
carried his ass off at 1:53 lol!
lol 0:34 fail high 5
Legends like him should live longer...
Sometimes the media does exaggerate on him, but you can't deny what he has done during his whole career and he deserves to be up there with the best of them. True, he wouldn't have won without Shaq, but I don't think Shaq would have won without him either.
It is true that Basketball is won by Teams not by individual performances, but there will always be that one guy who will be a step above his teammates and lead that team and that is Kobe.
Fail at 0:12 haha
No offense to Kobe fans out there. Back in 2008, ive seen Kobe play but not that much. Ive been hearing Kobe Bryant's stories. People are calling him, "The GOAT", "Closer" blablabalbbla. So I decided to watch his games. On TV of course. And I was disappointed because he kept missing shots, he dont pass the ball. Hes already tripled team and yet he still doesnt pass the ball and still forcing it. I dont get why people have exxagerated Kobe's stories. Why? because of his 81 points? I know Kobe Bryant's history. He won 3 rings that Shaquille O'neal gave him. Kobe Bryant lead the 2000-2002 lakers? i dont think so. He atleast helped the Lakers? but he played horrible during 2000-2003 finals. Even in playoffs. Im not hating on Kobe Bryant. Im just saying what my eyes are seeing.
Well you saying that Shaq gave him those rings prove that you don't know his history.
Saying that hes in the top 10 is ridiculous. Id place him in my top 30-40.
Did you mention him being consistent? Are you kidding me? I watch his games almost every night, youre wrong by saying hes shooting 10/20 every game and hes rarely having an off game. You dont watch him play. Not to mention he has the most missed shot of an NBA player.
and youre ignorant because you dont check out the real stats. Those stats you gave me are made up. Go check the shooting percentage of Kevin Durant compared to Kobe Bryant. Kobe Bryant's percentage isnt even comparable to Lebron James' percentage.
But then again, thats your top 10 lists. I cant complain to yours because its obviously your biased opinion. If imma list my top 10, itll of course be biased too.
i just say what i see.
No one wants to win more than Kobe! A basketball legend
Kobe was amazing!
Watching in 2021, it never gets old.
MY GOAT MAY YOU REST IN PEACE FOREVER 8/24
Rest in Peace Beloved #Kobe248 and #2Gianna 🙏💔🏀💛💜 and the other families who perished 🙏#MambaMambacita
Kobe is the best player to play since Kareem Abdul Jabbar THe Captain, and it is so unfortunate that he got hurt at the end of the season after he leads them to making the playoffs potentially, if they beat the Spurs tongiht. my thoughts and prayers go out to Kobe for a speedy recovery so he can come back and impress all of us with his amazing ability to do anything on the court.
He is one of my favorite players and a top 5 greatest one of all time.
GOAT!! RIP KOBE 💔 #MISSED
