One defender, no problem! Multiple defenders, no problem! Double team, no problem! Tough shot, no problem! Time running out, no problem! There wasn’t anything this man couldn’t do on the court and that’s why he is my goat.
When you look at kobe's career and his game carefully, this dude never did something so crazy. What I mean by that, kobe was the best player in the world since 2005-2010 and he always did basics, the moves which are taught to the middle school students. This is the biggest example of that basics doesn't mean easy way. If you master the basics, then you can literally do anything in your craft.
Kobe easily best player in nba 2003 to 2010. Lebron stats are nice but his game is limited, and even he knew in 08 he had a ways to go. Kobe was universally known as best player back then, all nba players said it, only kids today and mass media (who hated kobe the raper) would argue otherwise
@@LOL-ro9ef lol no LeBron wasn't stop. And for the record, hasnt been during that period and not for several years now. Not even the best player on his current team. People get brainwashed by media bias and false narratives
Kobe was unstoppable that season i still remember what he was doing,he was playing like a magician.One of my fav players and one of the greatest for me
What people don't get is the man was literally doing whatever the fuck he wanted, on a whim. Shooting any type of shot over any type of defense, splitting the double team and dribbling into traffic as he pleased. All against the toughest defense, he played EXACTLY how he wanted to play, and it didn't matter how good your defense was, unless you were the Celtics. Most players can't do that. Even some all time greats can't do that. They have to play within themselves, so to speak.. Kobe had such a high skill level dribbling, shooting, posting up, moving without the ball, cutting, sealing defenders, setting screens, that he could literally do whatever he wanted to do whenever he wanted to do it, and still was top 30 all time in efficiency. The idea he was inefficient is a falsehood.
They never post Kobe and shine him in his highest moments fr. They just keep him in this box where you could argue he any where from 7-12. And I'm like he's top 3.
Kobe is literally taking the most INEFFICIENT shot in basketball: REALLY LONG TWOS and he's DESTROYING the league with it. This is why the analytics clowns hate him so much. He was a walking magician. NOBODY in NBA HISTORY made as many long twos as Kobe. Kobe is the GOAT. Fun fact, Lebron shoots below 36% on all FGS outside of 3 feet from the rim.
If kobe were playing in the east with solid players like he had in La, then he could have also been in the finals 10x straight or more, and for sure would be in the goat conversation. Kobe is really for me a top 5 player of all time. Thank you for everything kobe 🙏
It was a gauntlet every year in the West. After Mike retired, the East wasn’t the same. Lebron got fat off of mediocre playoff teams outside of the Celtics.
How is this man not THE Greatest of all time? Top 2 if not 2. Him and MJ other than that No one can hit these tough contested shots, along with the footwork also with the FADING Away!
He is 2nd all time and here is why. Like you watched this highlights from Kobe and you were really amazed, go check Jordan's highlights from 1991 play offs and you will see ehat perfection means. Kobe is really close to Jordan (in fact, he is the only player for now who has come close to Jordan), but Jordan is the GOAT in the end of the day.
@@Chico_Lachowski LIES. On all FGs OUTSIDE OF THREE FEET FROM THE RIM, including FREE THROWS (which is always the litmus test for any shooter), Kobe shoots a higher % from the field. If it aint layups or dunks, Kobe dominates Lebron in EFFICIENCY FROM 13 out of 16 sectors of the floor chart lol. Oh and Kobe attempted more CONTESTED threes than Lebron; on UNCONTESTED 3 point shots, Kobe shoots higher than Lebron as well as a better FT shooter by far.
@@Chico_Lachowskionly because Kobe got hurt and continued to play in turn messed up his average but check all the years before and you'll see your wrong
@@rockygoe8135 absolutely, ppl seem to forget how good he still was just before the achilles- he was putting up 27-6-6 at 35 years old, and I read somewhere that his low-post efficiency was the best in the league that season- better than centers! He also had a short stretch(as Jonny Arnett mentioned in his recent video) where he played PG, averaging just under a triple double on great efficiency.
Kobe carried the Lakers against a STACKED Rockets squad. And he had to score against Battier AND Artest, which is nuts. Between the stronger Artest bodying him up and Battier sticking his hand in Kobe’s eyes every freaking time he shot, I honestly don’t know how the dude scored as much as he did. I highly doubt Lebron would be able to perform as well against a prime Artest AND Prime Battier. In fact, the 2012 and 2013 Heat squads smartly acquired Battier which of course meant that Lebron wouldn’t have Battier guarding him in the playoffs in the weakass Eastern Conference.

Great great video. The one thing it doesn’t show (the video would be an hour long if it did) is how effective of a passer he became this playoffs. He averaged 5.5 assists in the triangle, which was more than enough to draw pressure away from him and allow him to dominate.
That's why I don't get why people try to bash his assist numbers. Scottie pippen one of the best passers for his position routinely avg 5 assist a game could've been more if he didn't play in the triangle
When Fisher was with the Jazz a then rookie Ronnie Brewer asked Fish on how to stop Kobe and Fisher supposedly said "you won't and you can't. Just do what you can to challenge his shots because he will score on you." I'm deadass watching Brewers body language in these videos haha.
Kobe my GOAT 🐐, MJ's a close 2nd... Only one scored 81... All those MVPs that they cheated him out of... He did alot of this while deferring to Shaq who was, for the most part, the number 1 option...
Arizona Fire Ent Prince did shut him down, no excuses their. Kobe was also going through a lot of stuff in his personal life that year too. You can’t judge Kobe off the 1 series, many players struggled in the playoffs or Finals & have done even worst. Based on the circumstances Kobe was going through, you can’t just harp on all the blame on Kobe for that 04 loss, that 04 Lakers team overall was dysfunctional, it was a miracle that team even made to the Finals.

And then in 2012 they added old Nash and soft Dwight and Kobe still in season 17 was asked to carry so much load and his body gave out after 2013.
LeBron can ONLY dream of the capabilities that KOBE had - constantly triple-teamed and still breaking them down and scoring, breaking dreams and hearts in the process - NOTHING BUT THE GOAT of all GOATD even the ones that self-proclaimed. Every shot seemed to be impossible and clutch - WOW
@@hashmoncrief6965 Kobe had a better team around him than Karl Malone ever had, he had top 10 player of all time who is the best finals performance of all time also the most dominant player of all time Shaq. He didnt get out of the first round in the playoffs without him and Pau.
Kobe💜💛 will always be the best in my book. He gave everything that he could. He played hurt. He demanded the best from others because he only did the best for himself, his motivational books as well as the Mamba mentality🐍 Unbelievable. I'm sorry he's not here to tell his stories because that's what he was going to do right in the books and tell stories
Kobe the only player to beat 4 50 win teams in the playoffs and win the Finals! Also the only player to play 7 or more top 75 player in his conference and win back to back championship rings !
Crazy how many points Kobe would’ve had against Houston if they called a foul every time Shane palmed Kobe’s face lmao Kobe averaging 40+ today without a doubt
I remember they used to have a kobe defense where they stopped doubling and tripling him and said instead of trying to stop him just stop everyone else and the game would still be close
Literrally can do everything. One of the best in terms of scoring and he really make it look not easy everytime he shoots specially in long range. He will demolished your mental game when you are defending him. Underrated 3 point shooter as well and he is not doing it like he was free at the 3 point line. He is doing it with great defense on him. Mannn how lucky I am to witness his greatness. This was the time watching NBA is fun specially when playoffs time that you will witness again kobe and the lakers. Miss you mamba. R.I.P. My goat 🙏🙏🙏
Most skilled offensive player of all time. Arguably the GOAT. Modern day media hates on this man and it’s pretty funny. There is only one Kobe Bryant. Don’t talk about stats. Watch the tape.
his stats were fine tho. he averaged 30 points along with 5.2 assists and 5.7 rebounds in the playoffs (from 2008 to 2010) on %47 shooting he carried those lakers teams and won lakers 2 more titles.
Then you should check out some of Lebron's best playoff runs like 2012, 2016 or 2018. He's the most complete offensively, leading his team in every way you can imagine (scoring, passing, rebounding and shot blocking). With that being said, Kobe is a better 2-way player, LeBron is just better overall. And pls stop comparing chips because Kobe's 3 rings came when he wasn't even the best player of the team, all Bron's chips have his name on the Bill Russell trophy.
@@KhanhNguyen-se3hp Another casual take. LeBron stat padded his way through weak/old/rookie eastern conference teams for 15 years. A dude who has the ball in his hands for every single possession bound to accumulate those stats. Imagine if Kobe was little bit taller and bigger, he would've done the same thing. Same for guys like Jordan and others. It is easier to stat pad assists and rebounds than to score on double/triple teams. LeBron's best playoff runs is weak sauce compared to Kobe's competition. Just look at how weak 2018 teams were. Imagine going up against dudes 2-3 inches shorter than you at the PG and SF spot. Do you realize that prime Shaq was better than 21 year old LeBron, right? If LeBron played with prime Shaq at young age, LeBron wouldn't even sniff FMVPs lmaooo. Are you delusional? This is why people like you are stuck in a tiny box. Once in awhile, you should see the bigger picture and open your mind to reality.
@@KhanhNguyen-se3hp in 2012 with dwade and bosh or Kyrie and love . Now 2018 I'll give you. Kobe was a complete player also. And you can't be better overall if you not a better two way player. Basketball has two sides. Kobe had no weakness in his came. Lebron was scary from the free throw his whole career. He have hit shots to win from the free throw but we never been automatic. Lebron and Kobe in my top 3 so understand we arguing pens and needles but I believe at there peak Kobe was the more complete player. And more clutch.

@@jacobesau9289 and he also never got a team that loaded up after the 2010 finals. Didn't add no big piece after that. Almost got Christ Paul but the leaguers vetoed it. And it's one of the only vetos in nba history. That makes me think the league know what would have happen. And then in 2012 they added old Nash and soft Dwight and Kobe still in season 17 was asked to carry so much load and his body gave out after 2013.
Nobody makes more difficult shots very than the 🐐
LeBron can ONLY dream of the capabilities that KOBE had - constantly triple-teamed and still breaking them down and scoring, breaking dreams and hearts in the process - NOTHING BUT THE GOAT of all GOATD even the ones that self-proclaimed. Every shot seemed to be impossible and clutch - WOW
Beautiful craft simply the best ever
Kobe is the ultimate of " the best that I can be"
He tried his best, and I loved him for that
Yo Kobe had aim assist bro.
That’s the most skilled ball player ever.
Lol funniest thing ever seen. Karl Malone is a better scorer than Kobe.
@@alp6675 but yet again Karl Malone ever won a championship, and he had a great team around him, but Kobe won 5
@@hashmoncrief6965 Kobe had a better team around him than Karl Malone ever had, he had top 10 player of all time who is the best finals performance of all time also the most dominant player of all time Shaq. He didnt get out of the first round in the playoffs without him and Pau.
@@alp6675 goofy hater Malone never got it done period stfu
Kirilenko and Boozer , both good defenders .
it still so weird to think that this man is actually gone
Definitely goat in his prime
Kobe💜💛 will always be the best in my book. He gave everything that he could. He played hurt. He demanded the best from others because he only did the best for himself, his motivational books as well as the Mamba mentality🐍 Unbelievable. I'm sorry he's not here to tell his stories because that's what he was going to do right in the books and tell stories
Can’t believe ppl say he’s not top 10
A dumbass would say that!
No, Kobe is definitely top 10 players of all time.
Without a doubt.
He's not top 20
@@arizonaFIREent You're A 🤡
@@ArmandoKozomara Easily Top 5
Kobe the only player to beat 4 50 win teams in the playoffs and win the Finals!
Also the only player to play 7 or more top 75 player in his conference and win back to back championship rings !
shane was like a glue on kobe
Kobe was clearly the best player at the time.. yes, that's a shot at the fake 🐐
His facial expression never changed 😅 he was straigh business.
Crazy how many points Kobe would’ve had against Houston if they called a foul every time Shane palmed Kobe’s face lmao Kobe averaging 40+ today without a doubt
I remember they used to have a kobe defense where they stopped doubling and tripling him and said instead of trying to stop him just stop everyone else and the game would still be close
Even lebron isnt close to kobe.
Even Kobe isn't close to Karl Malone.
R.I.P..you always be top 5 all time on my list Mamba!
clutch man
Sports media has lost its way the way they value Kobe.
This video ignites a fire within me to chase my dreams relentlessly.
I really enjoyed this, ty
R.I.P Kobe and Gigi!!!
Literrally can do everything. One of the best in terms of scoring and he really make it look not easy everytime he shoots specially in long range. He will demolished your mental game when you are defending him. Underrated 3 point shooter as well and he is not doing it like he was free at the 3 point line. He is doing it with great defense on him. Mannn how lucky I am to witness his greatness. This was the time watching NBA is fun specially when playoffs time that you will witness again kobe and the lakers. Miss you mamba. R.I.P. My goat 🙏🙏🙏
I mean.. you can't make him miss his shot, you cannot guard him in anyway. You can only score more to win.
Goat nothing else to be said.
I miss you soo much🥺🥺
me too...😭
I just miss this guy
Most skilled offensive player of all time. Arguably the GOAT. Modern day media hates on this man and it’s pretty funny. There is only one Kobe Bryant. Don’t talk about stats. Watch the tape.
his stats were fine tho. he averaged 30 points along with 5.2 assists and 5.7 rebounds in the playoffs (from 2008 to 2010) on %47 shooting he carried those lakers teams and won lakers 2 more titles.
Then you should check out some of Lebron's best playoff runs like 2012, 2016 or 2018. He's the most complete offensively, leading his team in every way you can imagine (scoring, passing, rebounding and shot blocking). With that being said, Kobe is a better 2-way player, LeBron is just better overall. And pls stop comparing chips because Kobe's 3 rings came when he wasn't even the best player of the team, all Bron's chips have his name on the Bill Russell trophy.
@@KhanhNguyen-se3hp Another casual take. LeBron stat padded his way through weak/old/rookie eastern conference teams for 15 years. A dude who has the ball in his hands for every single possession bound to accumulate those stats. Imagine if Kobe was little bit taller and bigger, he would've done the same thing. Same for guys like Jordan and others. It is easier to stat pad assists and rebounds than to score on double/triple teams. LeBron's best playoff runs is weak sauce compared to Kobe's competition. Just look at how weak 2018 teams were. Imagine going up against dudes 2-3 inches shorter than you at the PG and SF spot. Do you realize that prime Shaq was better than 21 year old LeBron, right? If LeBron played with prime Shaq at young age, LeBron wouldn't even sniff FMVPs lmaooo. Are you delusional? This is why people like you are stuck in a tiny box. Once in awhile, you should see the bigger picture and open your mind to reality.
@@KhanhNguyen-se3hp in 2012 with dwade and bosh or Kyrie and love . Now 2018 I'll give you. Kobe was a complete player also. And you can't be better overall if you not a better two way player. Basketball has two sides. Kobe had no weakness in his came. Lebron was scary from the free throw his whole career. He have hit shots to win from the free throw but we never been automatic. Lebron and Kobe in my top 3 so understand we arguing pens and needles but I believe at there peak Kobe was the more complete player. And more clutch.
I cried like I lost a brother when this man transitioned. I grew up on him and defended him in any argument. True G.O.A.T.
Name one player that has worked harder than him.
There’s only one Bean…
None. That is the Mamba Mentality.
I am a Laker fan from Magic to Kobe that's it! They are no FLOPs
09 kobe will forever be my favorite!
In basketball have two GOATS Kobe and Jordan 🐐🐐👏
# 1 EVER 💛💜2️⃣4️⃣💪🏻❤️
My GOAT
Dude da way Kobe was playing n dis playoffs is more hand up man down lol
Kobe be like: This is how bad I want this Title. This is how you silence the haters!!!!
2000 west teams was a hell of a plAyoff road. Kobe and the Lakers made 5/7 in finals
He's more locked in in the road.
Thanks for your comment!
Look at the match ups... Artest, Battier, Yao, old AI w/ Young Melo and Kobe beating them with Sasha Vujajic and Jordan Farmer!
