15:52 Bill Russell won 11 championships (8 in a row) in 13 years, mostly because there wasn't a lot of competition. There were only 8 teams in the league in the late 50s and only 10 teams in the late 60s (versus 30 teams today), so the playoffs boiled down to basically the same 4 teams every year and Boston's team was the most talented. That said, Russell and his Celtics still had to deal with the most dominant player of the era in Wilt Chamberlain, and were only able to do that because Russell was such a great defender and team player.
Bill Russell's name was prominent in the GOAT conversation up until Michael Jordan laid claim to the title.
I still get teary eyed watching Kobe videos he has always been my favorite player and someone I looked up to RIP
Kobe was such an incredible player and one of the greatest winners of all-time. He did whatever he could to win and was arguably the most dedicated NBA player ever alongside MJ.
RIP Kobe. The NBA lost a light on that dreaded day, but thankfully we have footage of you to look back on whenever needed ❤
I remember back in 2006 -2008, Kobe was so dominant that ESPN would regularly interview players from other teams in their locker rooms who were getting ready to play their own games and they'd be at the lockers with eyes glued to the television trying to find out what amazing thing Kobe pulled off that night. He was simply unguardable. It was criminal the team Jim Buss surrounded Kobe with when he took over. Smush "G League" Parker, Kwame "Biggest NBA Bust of All time" Brown, & Luke "How the Heck Do I actually have an NBA job?" Walton. Those 3 couldn't even make it as role players on any other team, yet Kobe was so dominant that he was able to drag that cast of misfits into the playoffs and came withing 30 seconds of the greatest upset in playoff history. Greatest work ethic in the history of all sports. The guy literally use to push himself so hard in workouts that he would actually blackout, then when the trainer would give him smelling salts to wake him up, he'd continue working out more. Dislocated his finger in a game and doesn't even bother going to the locker room, but instead has the trainer pull it back into place, tape it to the next finger, and go right back out and continue playing. A ruptures his Achilles tendon and still limps to the free trow line and hit a free throw, then refuses to be carted to the locker room, but rather walks off limping dragging his foot. Definition of a true warrior!
I was so lucky to be at Kobe's final game. The whole building was so electric. R.I.P to Kobe and Gigi...❤
i was lucky to witness his finals game as well via highlights on youtube. Legendary player and my generations Michael Jordan.
I was at the Lakers game in Minneapolis when he beat MJ's record in 2014. I feel so lucky to have seen him in action. Strangely I was close by when the accident happened as well, I saw the smoke from my balcony and at first, I thought it was just another LA fire.
I was there too!! 😊
I love that you said he was really good at three pointers, dunking.
He was really good at everything including the midrange and post game, he is my GOAT.
RIP Gigi and Bean.
Dang I wish you guys had a better highlight reel! That one didn’t truly show you how good he was especially in his prime! He was unreal and made basketball look like poetry! Didn’t do him Justice!
His talent was as unmatchable as his determination. He tore his Achilles tendon during a game, walked out onto the court to make his free throws before he went back to the locker room for medical. He was and forever will be the Greatest of All Time. Lost too soon!
everything you named, Jordan has on him in spades.
Kobe
I stopped watching and playing basketball all together because of kobe, grew up watching him in LA ❤ watching this got me teary
Kobe’s death has been the only celebrity death (so far) to make me not only cry, but weep …which didn’t happen till late at night after finally coming to the realization that him and his daughter (as well as everyone else on the helicopter) were gone
Couple of things for you guys w/ regard to the sport of basketball: 1) Kobe was indeed a special talent, but also the work that he put in to master his craft was also insane. In regard to his nickname, black mamba, it was indeed due to his style of play. He was absolutely lethal on the court, and his mentality was one of striking whenever an opening presented itself, even against established legends like MJ (look up his first All Star game, he went straight at Jordan practically the whole game). 2) Bill Russell actually won 11 championships, not 15. But the reason his championships aren't considered as impactful is because in the era he played in, there were only like 10 teams in the entire league (the NBA expanded later). Also, Russell didn't score a whole lot for his career average, but he was an incredible defender who could keep just about anyone from scoring. 3) One of the main reasons Michael Jordan is still hailed as the standard to which all other players are compared, is because of his impact on the game. Many players modeled their style of play after him. From Allen Iverson to Lebron James, and this was especially true of Kobe, who admitted that everything he displayed on the court came from MJ (he admired Jordan but wanted to surpass him as well).
Really enjoying these videos. I’m a huge basketball fan (it was probably my first love growing up) and it’s really a unique and rewarding experience to see these reaction videos and get that perspective of people being introduced to the sport and some of the legends of the game and almost get to re-live that time of my life when I was first introduced to the game and how important it was for me.
As far as rankings go, it’s always tough and pretty much impossible to compare across eras, and especially when there’s really no finite objective standard for measuring greatness. But that’s what makes it fun, it’s all subjective and different people will value different things in their personal rankings. You mentioned Bill Russell and there are plenty of people who will claim him as the best ever because they’ll use championships won as their most dispositive metric. For me, personally, my “Mount Rushmore” includes Jordan, Kobe, and LeBron but that 4th position has never truly been solidified for me. Sometimes I’ll think it’s Wilt Chamberlain (who holds the record for most points 100 scored in a single game and most rebounds 55 in a game) and was just a physical force that was unequaled in his era (he was a 7 foot plus athlete that was stronger and could jump higher than anyone in his day playing during a time when the average tallest guy on most teams’ roster was probably about 6’6”). Other days I’ll think it’s Bill Russell or Kareem. I think Steph is knocking on the door for that fourth spot for me though and could solidify it depending on how the rest of his career goes. I think I value guys who revolutionized and changed the game higher than other things in my own subjective list of criteria and the modern game’s 3 point revolution is mostly credited to him and he’s hands down the best shooter I’ve ever seen.
If pressed to rank the 3 of Jordan, LeBron, and Kobe, it’s really tough for me. Your point about Jordan being the baseline and the comparison for many modern players is an important one and worth expanding on. The biggest thing in my opinion that Michael Jordan has going for him is that there will never be a guy to have so popularized and promoted the game as he did on a global scale. What he and that 1992 Dream Team did for basketball on an international scale (but MJ especially) will never be matched. He came first and helped grow the game in such a profound way and even if you personally believe that another guy was more skilled than he was, nobody else can touch his influence on the sport and it’s growth or popularity. If I’m trying to leave that aside and rank them purely on skills or athletic ability or merit as a basketball player alone, it’s tough because he and LeBron are very dissimilar players, whereas Kobe (RIP) was like a carbon copy of Jordan. Kobe idolized Jordan and molded his game after him, had the same competitive spirit and obsessive passion to be the best, their mentality was so similar. And I think some people knock Kobe for being the second iteration of the original in their rankings, but you could argue Kobe was a more fluid and skilled version of the original. I give the nod to Jordan between them, but it’s much closer to me than most people probably have them. I can’t separate entirely the importance Jordan had on the growth of the game at large and the fact that he was the original. I don’t know if Kobe would have become the “Kobe” we got to witness if not for Jordan to chase. I think chasing Jordan was a huge motivator for Kobe and we were privileged to witness both of them play. I will say that I grew up in the Kobe era or the generation that considers Kobe “their Jordan” and I know a lot more about him than Jordan and Kobe was such a special mind and personality to the game, too, though, so I liked and revered him more than Jordan. He was a step ahead and an absolute tactician and student of the game. Constantly evolving and getting better, looking for ways to improve and get a leg up on everyone else around him. Incredibly smart (multilingual - not many American players would be as fluent and confident in their mastery of other languages to understand international opponents’ play calls or engage in talking trash with them in a foreign language). He was a really special person and was poised to be an even greater star outside of his playing days and was just a tremendous loss way too soon, unfortunately.
I personally put LeBron above them both, though, in a pure “basketball talent” list. It’s the combination of physical gifts (LeBron taller and stronger than both), longevity (this is his biggest superpower trait, no one will eclipse his longevity and how long his “peak form” lasted; even if Jordan never quit to play baseball, he would not have sustained the same level of physical fitness and success for as long as LeBron has in part due to the advances in modern sports medicine and fitness but also because LeBron has taken that more seriously than probably any NBA athlete has before), and then lastly his versatility on the court that does it for me and puts him above Jordan in my personal ranking.
Coming out of high school, LeBron’s best attribute was actually his court vision and passing and court management ability. He was a passing savant and more accurately compared to Magic Johnson than Michael Jordan. Jordan was an alpha personality wired to score and bully everyone else in his path (opponents and teammates alike into submission). LeBron was much more affable and sociable and wanted to get teammates involved and wasn’t necessarily wired to score as Jordan and Kobe were. He had the body and physicality and athleticism to take over games and just physically punish opponents all game long and rack up points if he wanted to. But I think LeBron valued playmaking for others and ball movement much more than isolation scoring like Jordan and Kobe did. All three are or were elite defenders and two way players, but whereas Jordan and Kobe were more ball dominant wing players that could play the 1-3 (1 = point guard, 2 = shooting guard and 3 = small/wing forward) but were both more apt as either a 2 guard or 3 wing forward, LeBron with his combination of physical size, athleticism and skill set can legitimately play every single position on the court 1-5 and be the best player at that position and also guard every position on the court if necessary for stretches. That holds huge value for me, personally. It’s pretty crazy to think about, but he came into the league more hyped for his passing abilities than his scoring and now he already holds the record for most career points scored in NBA history (without even really focusing or trying to be a ball dominant scorer). That’s a testament to his longevity and also his talent and skill. He’s going to finish his career as the league’s all time scoring leader and also in the top four in assists!
As far as other potential players to check out if you’re looking for suggestions, I would definitely recommend Steph Curry but also, I’m thinking from the standpoint of some of the more purely entertaining aspects of the game, for me it is both the jaw-dropping dunks that everyone loves, but also the ball handling and dribbling skills and wizardry of some players. For the former list, you’ve already seen some of LeBron and Jordan who are up there in the hierarchy of all time dunkers, but I’d recommend Shawn Kemp, Julius “Dr. J” Erving, Blake Griffin, Dominique Wilkins, Zion Williamson, and Vince Carter for dunking highlights. For the ball handling, Jason “White Chocolate” Williams, “Pistol” Pete Maravich (old school, not sure how much footage would be available or high quality), Chris Paul, Jamal Crawford, Steph Curry, Magic Johnson, Allen Iverson, Isiah Thomas, and Kyrie Irving are in my estimation the best ball handlers to play (Irving’s handles are other-worldly).
As great as he was on the court, His greatest achievements were still ahead of him. RIP Mamba
RiP Kobe! Before basketball became what it is today. Players weren't being paid that well. Then there was the greatest rivalry between Magic Johnson of the Lakers and Larry Bird of the Celtics. They changed the game. You really should check out Larry's highlights. He is very entertaining and there is much about him.
I watched Kobe his whole career live. He was unreal. The world lost something big too early. Gianni would have put the sad WNBA on another level too.
Yea but unfortunately he got died just weeks after receiving 3+billion credit card to start his own bb league
Charles Barkley being 6-6 and what he did was amazing.
You should really check out Larry Bird of the Boston Celtics
He was great !!! Even Ervine Magic Johnson said Larry Bird was the greatest player ever in the NBA
He also had 2 games that season where he had 69 and 63 and didn't play the 4th quarter
I think you would enjoy watching a video on Randy Johnson the famous baseball pitcher
I am watching this for you and Kobe I looked up to him has a kid he inspired me to be a basketball player ♥we miss him very much but he will always be in our hearts
I think Kobe will always be my favorite. Grew up watching him and in my mind will go down as the most clutch player of all time. Countless fadeaway jumpers at the buzzer to win it. Kobe’s fadeaway jumper is like Griffey Jr’s swing in baseball.
That little girl had the best quote. I really like her philosophy. It was like potato potato. Why does everybody have to be better than everybody else? Why can't we just enjoy them all?
Kobe was amazing player. He died in 2020 I was in Norfork Nebraska in a hotel for work at the time. It was a very shocking accident.
Some legendary basketball players, magic Johnson and Larry bird. The two people who saved the nba. A boxing legend, someone who has never lost is Floyd mayweather
There’s a really good video showing the game where he became the black mamba . Like an origin story
Jordan didn't just play amazingly well, he also changed the industry with fashion brands endorsing athletes and even athletes getting into the fashion industry. He took the game, mastered it, beat it and industrialized it.
You’ve looked at two great scorers and defenders, and looked at a guy who can stumble into a made basket who only plays defense sometimes, now it’s time for some floor generals: Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, and John Stockton.
Black mamba came from his mentally and his killer will to play basketball. The dedication on both sides of the court and
Great player; Roger Staubach, Dirk Nowitzkii and Nolan Ryan
He adopted the nickname, to seperate his professional life from his personal life. I also believe that Black Mamba was the codename for a deadly assassin from 2003's Quentin Tarantino film Kill Bill. Kobe died in 2020 indeed.
I live near Calabasas where the accident happened, I could see the smoke from my backyard. RIP Kobe
Here are some other players who’s highlights y’all should definitely checkout: Tim Duncan, Shaquille O’Neil, Charles Barkley, Vince Carter, David Robinson, Hakeem Olajuwon.
If you are moving with the ball you must dribble it within and after 2 steps of your movement.
If you don't do so it is a penalty called "Travelling" and you then forfeit the ball to the other team once the referee calls it.
Thank you guys for doing this I love Kobe and I hope yll did too I really appreciate it
Miss this man… Rip KOBE GREATEST OF ALL TIME🫡👊🏽💯🔥😓
Phoenix native here - the Suns are looking like a powerhouse this upcoming season!
WE MISS YOU KOBE R.I.P BLACK MAMBA 💔💔💔 nobody gonna beat his record
Other “First time” great sports analysis you guys could check out: Tiger Woods whom literally changed the game of golf. Before Tiger Golf was for out of shape dad-bods(still a lot of skill required) but Tiger was the first freak athlete to play the game and his Highlight reels are absolutely insane. Also Tom Brady, which kills me as I really disliked him and the New England Patriots but when it was all over for him, he’s gone down as the greatest Quarter back of all time holding pretty much all relevant positional NFL records. His actual highlights aren’t as “electric” as other athletes but he’s the epitome of a consistent leader. Specifically you could watch the highlights from his Super Bowl win against Atlanta where he trailed by 24 points in the second half of the game and came back to win. Just some ideas!
Damn I shed tears watching this
Not sure if you have yet or not but you need to check out Larry Bird. He's from home state and now HD runs the Indiana Pacers.
Kobe was extremely quick,they just couldn't keep up with him. He can shoot and go by anyone that got in his way when the time was right.
Never cried over a celebrity death but man i cried like a baby when i saw Kobe passed. R.I.P Mamba 🐍💜💛
Did you cry for young girl the koby raped, do your homework you goof
Kobe Bryant worked out harder than any American athlete ever his dedication paid of he is indeed the greatest player ever
If you all get a chance you should do a video on Larry Bird Ultimate Mixtape. It's a must see. A lot of Americans had their mind blown watching this, because they didn't realize how good of a basketball player Larry Bird was.
The only celebrity death that made me cry, ever. It’s not even that he was a great basketball player. He was the embodiment of “effort and hard work pays off” and a true example of a great person, father, and role model. He is the type of man that existed throughout history that others would follow into actual battles with and for. He just happened to play basketball, not conquer territory lol.
you have to watch Kobe Bryant's " Dear Basketball " its the most beautiful thing ever created and describes his love for Basketball have some tissue on the side❤
Kobe never went to College he was so good and still better than 90 percent when he was rookie RIP Kobe
Quincy from kansas. Lived in Washington state Seattle area 16 years. Kobe was a great and a perfect legend. Know your a seahawk fan. Check out Marshawn lynch by Joe Vincent. Beast mode and a earthquake.
Finally the video ive been wanting to seeee
Kobe Bryant passed from January 20, 2020
Had season tickets during the Shaq - Kobe era! It was awesome!!!!!
I hope Larry Bird is on that list because he was amazing abd they hight basketball IQ player
We will never be able to truly compare players because they are of different eras. Rules have changed and the players have changed. Larry Bird and Michael Jordan were the last comparable opponents that played in almost the same time period. Larry Bird was amazing, you should check him out. With Bird it is not all about the baskets that he would make, he planned and supported multiple plays in advance. He did not have to be the one to take the shot. Bird told his opponent what he was going to do before he did it, and they still could not stop him. They are and were all great players, better than me. This is who I like/ed to watch in no order. L. Bird, Johnson, Jabbar, Jordan, Stockton, S. Bird, Taurasi, Moore, Charles, Stewart, Lobo, Bueckers, Griner. I know there are a couple I missed, but I will sum that up with UCONN Huskies Women's basketball.
Black Mumba,one of the most dangerous snakes in the world. He got that name back in highschool.
It would be fun to see you guys react to some videos on the rules of baseball as an intro to the sport. Then it will be more entertaining for you when you check out highlights of the best players!
I think it’s time for the Chef to make his showing on the channel
Two other old-school basketball players to check out are Larry Bird and Pistol Pete Maravich…two of the greatest ever. Also, for football, check out highlights of Joe Montana, quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers.
Need to watch Tribute for KOBE …. Kobe and his Daughter Mamba Fam
Larry Bird Greatest mix tape.
Kobe was such a huge loss to humanity too. Nine people passed in the crash including his daughter.
Y’all should start watching their top highlights
Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan were friends Kobe modeled his game after Micheal Jordans game he got his fade away jump shot from Micheal Jordan! RIP KOBE BRYANT YOU ARE MISSED BY MANY
You guys should do another reaction video of kobe becoming the black mamba and how that name came about
Hi guys. Find yourselves a highlight film of NFL Legend, Barry Sanders. He retired at the top of his game. He is arguably the best ever. He played for the Lions. I'm a 50-year+ Steelers fan, so I'm not playing up my guy. This guy dominated, while playing on terrible teams, where he was the only real weapon and the opposing teams knew he was getting the ball. BARRY SANDERS... check him out.❤
RIP to every person that passed on that helicopter
awww I want to see you guys react to kobe top 40 plays
Not taking anything away from Kobe or Labron but they are competing in a much softer and easier league than the GOATs of old. Jordan is of coarse the GOAT of GOATs but don't sleep on Larry Bird. That man is a true legend on just about the same standing as Jordan and both of them played in a much more competitive league. Larry also played several times through injury, even bring the Celtics back from a deficit to win a game after fracturing his cheek bone.
Kobe joined the nba in 1996 and retired in 2016. This means he was able to play in the same time as Michael Jordan and Shaquille O'Neal earlier in his career and later in his career he played against Lebron James and Steph Curry. Kobe was literally a bridge from one generation to the next because he only played against Jordan for Jordan's last three years and he played against Steph Curry for Curry's first 7 years.
It's Mike, Kob and Kareem. Don't forget the list...
My idol my hero Kobe Bryant Gigi #8 #24 ❤🙏😢
Kobe was an amazing player. I really enjoy watching your reaction videos. If you go back to military vehicles i highly suggest a reaction video on the greatest fighter jet the f-15. the only jet to shoot down a satellite and has a record of 104-0 in combat.
He also has won an Oscar for a short film. Check our Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, Ozzy Smith, and greatest home runs for baseball, Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemeux, Brett Hull, Bobby Ore, Patrick Roy, and greatest goals for hockey, Joe Montana, Barry Sanders, Lawrence Taylor, Deion Sanders, Jerry Rice, and greatest moments, or touchdowns for football. This is just a basic list of the top american sports
Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, probably the best rivalry in all basketball... well Chamberlin and Russel is right up there too... and then there is Jerry Wes who is the the NBA Logo!
RIP Kobe and w reaction video, I really wanna see y'all react to curry, one of the greatest shooters in the league's history.
Next you need to do Bird and Magic
R.I.P Kobe❤
love the suns shirt and the videos keep it going!!
Loved the video, also a baseball video would be fun, such an American sport
From my limited understanding. Kobe named himself black mamba; it also happened to coincide with the movie Kill Bill and it’s main character having the black mamba call sign.
I’m an idiot so I could be wrong!
The daughter has the correct take on all 3 players,MJ was the goat in his era ,KB was the goat in his era and LBJ is the goat in his era and still going ,what an intelligent take,I’m a die hard Kobe fan.
Not gunna lie I was shedding tears lol rip 24
Got to check out the 1985 Superbowl Chicago Bears.
You guys should react to stories told about kobe bryant and michael jordan, they are very similar, they even played against each other and michael told kobe that he can wear his shoes but he'll never be like him.
Jordan, Kobe, Lebron. Top 3 best to play the game ever
Kobe didn't die he just got drafted to heaven
You guys should do Hakeem Olajuwon, Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, and Shawn Kemp
Please do Magic Johnson next your all would love it
Ya should check out any of his greatest clip vids...
The nickname is said to have a different reasons for called "black mamba". They would call him a assassin. He'd shoot from long range 3s all day nailing em. When people would push his button and call him out he'd call them back up, tease em 1v1 in front of both teams n all the fans, then humiliate em on the court play. He would destroy the best of the best that a announcer said he's the black mamba from the movie Kill Bill when a assassin used a black mamba to kill his opponent. The name stuck.
a lot of people dont talk about bill as the best although he was amazing, because he was an amazin player when the league wasnt that great so he could just dominate
Gotta check out Shaq next!
Or Larry Bird.
# 99 Hockey Player Wayne Gretzky. # 33 basketball player Magic Johnson. Just 2 to start out with.
January 2020. His daughter too tho. That's the true tragedy.
There are so many great players you could also watch things on. Jackie Robinson, Ken Griffey Jr, Mickey Mantle, Hank Aaron, etc. As for Kobe, what an amazing player, but I'm still not sure how I'd rank him. My #1 is definitely Jordan, but I'm torn at #2. It's either LeBron or Kobe. Each had a different style, but had that iron will -- although I still think I'd give Kobe the edge when it comes to that. Hell, I think I may give Kobe the #1 when it came to mentality. Jordan was competitive as no other, but he also had other things he enjoyed outside of basketball (golf, baseball...gambling). When it came to Kobe the only thing was basketball and winning. He would be up at 3am practicing and then get teammates to join in because he not only wanted to get better, but he wanted EVERYONE to have that winning mentality. He was the type of player who made others around him work harder and play better. He willed himself to come back from an injury that ends most players' careers as well. He was a human highlight reel. RIP Kobe.
Kobe will always be one of the greatest players of all time. however you need to watch a video about Pete Maravich. he is the standard to which all players should be held to.
The fact Sam thinks he can do that with 6 months training is hilarious 😂😂
Do Dennis Rodman next!
You guys gotta react to Jayson Tatum or the 2023 nba all star game. And for the NFL Tom Brady
You should watch making the case Larry bird
