I think Kobe and Steph are the only two players in NBA history where it’s like, no matter how crazy a shot they take, there’s always a part of you that’s like, “yeah, that might go in.” Just because they routinely make such difficult shots.
@@emmanueledano5194 nah steph shots take a tremendous amount of shot making just because of how far he’s shooting from so it’s definitely on the level of a Mike and kobe
Kobe and Jordan had the craftiness to make any shot in the 3 or inside the arc. Post, baseline, freethrow line... anywhere. However, in terms of range, unpredictablity, creativity, Steph's shot is just so, so wet that he literally broke a video game experience. Kobe and Jordan, best players. But Steph is the best shooter that ever shot a basketball
Man and at the end when he tells his daughters he'll be home soon such a sad time now. I grew up looking up to Kobe on and of the court. R.I.P to Kobe/Gianna and all the passengers 💔
@@NikosKobe24 I was sick at home that day watching this game. Few years later I attended his first ever game at Barclays Center against the Nets. The famed game where.. KOBE BRYANT ASSASSINATED (DUNKED) TWO BROOKLYN NETS.. WHO WERE NEVER EVER THE SAME AGAIN
MSG loves a great performance by an opposing player. One great thing about NY, I never have to worry about a star player taking the day off on the MSG date. The star players always have NYC circled on their calendar.
@Stephen Paoli and sill managed to get 5 rings lmao why you on a kobe video if you just hating. I swear its so weird that people have the time to hate.
@Stephen Paoli he was a volume shooter in an era where that was heavily utilized and his role was to take tough shots...not pass on them to try and keep his stats looking cleaner
Man that last part hits different now. As a Knicks fan, even I was rooting for Kobe to get 60 by the end of it, feels like yesterday. RIP Kobe we miss ya everyday 🙏
He seemed legit surprised when they told him he had MSG record... dude didn't care about records. Just wanted to win and put on a show while doing it. RIP GOAT
That’s bs he knew about the record he watched all of MJs games that’s why he stayed in until he broke it I like Kobe but he was lying about the record EVERYBODY knew about the 55 point double nickel that mj set in the garden including Kobe
@@natedogg8648the reporter was talking about everyone who has played there not just the opposing team. everyone knows about the double nickel, chill out.
The one thing I truly appreciate is Kobe got to see how much ppl loved him in his life, he got to see how much he meant to an entire generation, and from his last season to his last game to his jersey retirements, the world let him know how much he meant. RIP Mamba RIP Mambacita and all the others lost of that day. #MambaOut #MambaForever
The way this man speaks. The way he can take an interview and captivate your attention. Few players can do this. The last words just hit home. RIP Mamba
No flaws in his game. A 3 level scorer, that could score in isolation, in pick and roll in the high and low post, mid-range. Knew how to attack properly out of the triple threat. Impeccable footwork, and he kept attacking you. Furthermore, Kobe was great at moving without the basketball to get open.
@@jetsettech8804 not really 💀💀 footage would also suggest otherwise. Bad shot IQ is taking shots u consistently miss and shots u don't work on. Difference is Kobe hit his shots(and worked on them) but also took a lot, given his circumstances. Stats consistently blind ppl who don't know the game.
@@lemongrab7635 people can lie. Numbers don't. He's a career 43% shooter. That's not great, especially for a superstar. Stats don't blind people. They tell things about a superstar their fans are afraid to say. There wasn't a bad shot Kobe couldn't make, but that often worked to his detriment as well.
In this performance and time period, that is the greatest player to ever play. I’d have argued that even before he died. To me Kobe is the legitimate goat. Rest In Peace. Love Kobe forever
Kobe was a beast at beating them double teams lol damn… As much as he gets doubled he made it very hard to trap him. Time and time again he evades double teams.
Kobe Bryant i started watching NBA because of you from 07 😢 now I'm done watching it but i can't resist watching your highlights where you destroy any team 😥smmsh💯
Alpough 94 MJ averages 30.1 PPG in his career....Kobe is a better pure scorer than MJ and Lebron...but overall Lebron and Jordan are better scorers than Kobe...look at their career PPG
Alpough 94 kobe is an all time great but are you delusional ? Jordan was WAY MORE EFFICIENT THAN KOBE. He also was more athletic, stronger, a better off ball player and got to the free throw line more as well. The only thing you could say with straight face that kobe was better than Jordan at is 3’s.
Kobe will never die. He's in LeBron James' leadership. He's in DeMar DeRozan's midrange shot. He's in Devin Booker's heat check. He's in Novak Djokovic's competitive spirit. He's in Kendrick Lamar's words of wisdom. He's in your heart. Kobe will never die.
The man put on an absolute clinic that night. I remember this game vividly, watching on tv while at work. Goosebumps at that NYC crowd yelling "MVP!!" 😪😪😪 at Kobe giving a shoutout to GiGi, his mini-me #RIPKOBE #RIPGIGI 💜💛💜💛💜💛
Kobe Bryant is the only player that every fan loves him even though it's not a laker fan. As you can hear in this video, every kobe made a shot there's an ooz and aaz from the crowd. Rip LEGEND!
After this game I thought this was gonna be Kobe’s last 60 point game in his career until his final game which will never be topped. This was his 13th year in the league doing this. The GOAT. KOBE!!!
Stat sheet doesn’t tell the whole story. For ex: westbrook averaged triple doubles but never finished top 2 in mvp voting. Kobe’s greatness is above the stats he accumulated.
This game was so electrifying to watch live. Respect to the MSG crowd that made even better as a Lakers fan and feeling the energy through the TV back in SoCal.
Kobe had all the respect for every team and the love he created that mamba mentality to witness history and he did something special he put on a show in this game in the big city and was just unguardable that is just greatness by Kobe Bryant R.I.P. mamba 4 life the greatest athlete of all time 🐐❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏀👏😢🐐
false Jordan wouldn't disrespect his apprentice and lebron wouldn't know what two way player meant if his teammate was sleeping with his mom.. oh wait lol
Kobe may have had more tricks than Jordan and more accurate jump shooting. I mean he had to outdo Jordan with skills to make up for his lack of genetics.
Gone too soon, who is here to pay their respects
I was at this game and I'm honored that I was able to witness such an incredible talent. RIP LEGEND.
🙏
Can’t get enough of these classics rn. Legends never die though!

Fuck you!!!! Saying that with all do respect brother!!!! This is my all time fave Kobe performance....And the fact its at MSG
When Kobe shouts out his daughter Gigi at the end it hit me.
Yes it did.. it really did :'(
Heartbreaking
Yeah I felt that too :/
:) i felt it too..mi was happy to hear him shout them out...bitter sweet...so sad. We love you kobe..4ever
Damn!!!! That hit me hard! 😢 we miss you Kobe!
"Gigi, nani, vivi I'll be home in a lil bit love u guys" yo I'm crying 9:23 #RIPGOAT
MDS 2000 he really loved his kids man
My heart felt every word of that
He was a man of God...and a family man. Rip brother...we love you.
It was super nostalgic then he said that and the tears came flooding in. #MYGOAT
im legit crying right now. it's been almost a year and im still not over his death #ripgoat
When you get the opposing fans to cheer, that's how you know you're watching greatness. Or when you silence them which Kobe did both.
D Z I love Kobe but that’s just how Knicks fans are....we give props where props are due.
MSG loves a great performance by an opposing player. One great thing about NY, I never have to worry about a star player taking the day off on the MSG date. The star players always have NYC circled on their calendar.
@@knicks4life753 Kobe has had this in just about every arena he played on this level.
@@knicks4life753 Tell that to trae young
He once made Boston’s Garden chant MVP when was balling in that game
He got MVP chants on the road.
He always had gotten MVP chants on the road, for majority of his career.
rumar spencer yeah... just can’t believe this guy have only one mvp...
It’s MSG they always respect the greats from MJ, to Kobe, to Lebron
@@MoSchumacher He should have at LEAST one more. He was robbed
@@MoSchumacher he should have 5.
Made all his free throws. 20/20 vision.

Exactly!! His game Bag was just over fill with skills.
kobe always has the greatest shooting form, very beautiful to watch!!
Stephen Paoli 🖐🏾 zone defense was created for Kobe 😂
@Stephen Paoli and sill managed to get 5 rings lmao why you on a kobe video if you just hating. I swear its so weird that people have the time to hate.

How is this man not top 10 all time? This man skillset is 2nd to none ya'll be trippin bruh lls
Ballin Too he is
I really think he's underappreciated and really should be in the GOAT conversation. He has 5 rings, went to 7 Finals!
Ballin Too bro he’s the second best player ever anyone saying he’s atleast not top 3 is just hating because he torched there favorite team
17ballislife Lebron is the second best player ever
@@Ok-li5og STRONGLY DISAGREE 👎
Kobe's shooting form was so beautiful. Rip Mamba
Had to come here and watch this legendary performance after the heartbreaking news today. RIP Mamba and Gigi
9:24 - It just simply shows how good father Kobe is to his family.
The smoothest 61 you will ever see he barely was sweating look at the interview after the game

Kobe had a regular body just really skilled. imagine if he was a forward like kd or lebron
Eric Kim Kobe didn’t have a 40 inch vertical
Eric Kim yeah bro don’t get me wrong he wasnt a slouch he was very athletic but he had a regular 6’6 210 pound build nothing special for the nba
Also had a very long wingspan. When he entered the league. He was viewed as having the perfect body type
Hoop Fan_ because it was similar to Mike's
He is just 6’4 three quarters not even 6’6
The way this man speaks. The way he can take an interview and captivate your attention. Few players can do this. The last words just hit home. RIP Mamba
Was just watching this the other day because I knew the anniversary was coming up. Every kid wanted an #8/#24 jersey growing up. RIP goat
No flaws in his game. A 3 level scorer, that could score in isolation, in pick and roll in the high and low post, mid-range. Knew how to attack properly out of the triple threat. Impeccable footwork, and he kept attacking you. Furthermore, Kobe was great at moving without the basketball to get open.
The only flaw I would say is shot IQ. There wasn't a bad shot Kobe couldn't make, but man did he take a lot of bad shots.

the smoothest dribble / jump shot combo in nba history so far. the cleanest dribble to release EVER

Greatest of All Time
The ball barley hit the rim at all whenever he shot
I remember this watching live on tv when I was in the Philippines. I love watching him play and this game is something special. Miss you Kobe.
RIP king, going to miss this guy, love from the #KnicksTape to his fam
Was watching this game live… man what an experience this was!🙏🏾💜💛
All I can do is watch his old highlights I don’t even wanna think about him being gone
Same😢
R.I.P Kobe Bryant you will be missed. You're the best Basketball player in the History of Los Angeles. 😭💯💔
Just beautiful to watch. The grace with which he played leaves me lost for words. Baryshnikov on a basketball court.
Kobe Bryant 🔥
i miss that sound of the rim when u dunked... it was so satisfying
Kobe was a beast at beating them double teams lol damn… As much as he gets doubled he made it very hard to trap him. Time and time again he evades double teams.
Always have to come back to the throwback series watching kobe and AI and MJ and rookie showdowns are the best
I watched all of Kobe's vids broh all of them.
Kobe was SPECIAL
The Real Goat
Kobe Bryant i started watching NBA because of you from 07 😢 now I'm done watching it but i can't resist watching your highlights where you destroy any team 😥smmsh💯
Happy birthday kobe Bryant 🏀🏀👌
Greatest Scorer of All time, He had Jordan beat when it came to scoring from all 3 levels
Alpough 94 MJ averages 30.1 PPG in his career....Kobe is a better pure scorer than MJ and Lebron...but overall Lebron and Jordan are better scorers than Kobe...look at their career PPG
Delete this comment kid, he isn’t even a better scorer than KD
He came in the league not even being the best at his position on his team so ppg doesn't help your case.
Alpough 94 kobe is an all time great but are you delusional ? Jordan was WAY MORE EFFICIENT THAN KOBE. He also was more athletic, stronger, a better off ball player and got to the free throw line more as well. The only thing you could say with straight face that kobe was better than Jordan at is 3’s.
BTL_ 007 Durant is a killer but Post game nowhere near close to Kobe’s
11 years today. RIP Mamba. We miss you. 🤞🏾🐍💛💜
best part is him at the end giving his girls a shout out...this man IS legendary
Kobe will never die.
He's in LeBron James' leadership. He's in DeMar DeRozan's midrange shot. He's in Devin Booker's heat check. He's in Novak Djokovic's competitive spirit. He's in Kendrick Lamar's words of wisdom. He's in your heart.
Kobe will never die.
Truer words haven’t been spoken. R.I.P. Mamba.
KOBE PUT A BATTLE AXE TO THE KNICKS NECK. One of my favorite games. Rip Kobe.
I am watching all his games again... will truly miss my all-time-favorite
I wish i watched Kobe while growing up, I got into basketball his last year, but he was my fav retired player tho even before he died
the greatest ever.. i cant believe he's gone.. RIP BEAN Mamba!!!
One of a kind player. It doesn’t feel like a road game because of kobe making the home crowd cheer for him. Miss you mamba!

My all time fave Kobe performance!!! He put on one of the GREATEST performances in MSG HISTORY!!!!
Players say kobe was better
Analytic stat nerds say lebron
IMMA GO WITH THE PLAYERS THAT ACTUALLY PLAYED AGAINST THEM🤷🏽♂️
Brandon Untouchable Ingram No actually everyone says Lebron is better except u delusional Kobe fans
This is why I'm confused because I really don't know all about Kobe like I know LeBron so I'm gonna do ALL my research
Eric Kim He's actually correct which I the odd part
And when combine accolades, stats and what players say, it all points to Michael Jordan🌝
Sanjith Vijay kobe plays defense lebron doesnt bruh and u know it.
You know you special when you play an away game and you got away crowd cheering for you like you its a hime game💪🏾💪🏾 Rip to the 🐐
That last few seconds “I’ll be home in a little bit love you guys” 😥

Had to hold them tears back at the end of that post game interview R.i.p Black mamba
Such a joy watching him play. Smooth and beautiful, behind that, it's mamba mentality giving it all on and off the court. Mamba forever.
Stat sheet doesn’t tell the whole story.
