Kobe in 2000-01 was underrated in the western playoffs Playoff average: 29ppg 7rpg 6apg 47% Vs kings: 35ppg 9rpg 4apg 47% Vs spurs: 33ppg 7rpg 7 rpg 51%
Kobe has been underrated in every single playoff run with Shaq. Steadily averaged 30 points vs the far stronger Western teams. Dude is by the way the only player in the entire NBA with a winning record vs the Popovic Spurs in the NBA to this very day which was of course the strongest team of the last 20 years.
@@akshaysundru482 Uhhh no, they were putting 2 guys on Shaq and damn near triple-teaming him down there. You're trying to act like they gave up defending Shaq and focused on the perimeter.
@@akshaysundru482 quite the Opposite The Spurs were Pretty Good At Defending Shaq with Duncan and Robinson while they had no real Perimeter Defender at the time
I would say 02-03 season. That was his peak ability at shooting the 3 and out of this world defensively that season. For a month Per-Game Stats: 40.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 2.4 steals, 0.9 blocks Shooting Percentages: 47.5 FG%, 42.9 3P%, 85.1 FT%
Remember from 2001-2004, hand checking and zone defense was allowed. Making these years the toughest era in NBA History to score on. That's why guys like Kobe, Iverson, and TMac who were able to a average 30 ppg during those years is so impressive. That's why '02-'03 Kobe was probably Kobe's best season from an individual standpoint.
I think you should turn this into a series for all the all time greats ( even though some of them have an obvious answer like Shaq 2000 and Hakeem 1994 )
@@hermanosfernandez1537 His 1995 playoff run was better but he ' s taking into account both the regural season and the playoffs , so he ' s gonna go with the season in which he won MVP , DPOY and FMVP ( nobody else in NBA history has won all three in the same season )
I don't think 2013 was Kobe's best, but man...it was a joy to see him rejuvenated after the previous couple of seasons. He was on a mission. I was so hype to see him in the playoffs.
My favorite is 2006 Kobe I also liked 2003 Kobe 2009 Kobe was good but not as athletic or as good on defense as the other Kobes before and 2013 was probably Kobe’s most hardworking time in terms for his age
Definitely the 2002-2003 season. It's his best all-round season. Averaged 30.0 (28.2 per 75) on +3.1 rTS% efficiency. He also actually was a great defender, unlike most of the years he didn't actually deserve the all-defensive selections, like 2006, where he got a first team all-defense selection despite being a literal minus on defense. Also Rusty, his 58 TS% season was in 2007, not 2006. And a player's most efficient season isn't decided by TS%, it's decided by rTS%, which is how much more efficient a player is compared to league average TS% that year.
06-07 season is highly underrated. It’s his most efficient season, and they dropped 3 games from the year before due to Lamar Odums injuries. The 07 Lakers lost in 5 games those playoffs because Amar’e Stoudemire came back.Still Kobe put up 32.8 5.2 4.5 on vey efficient percentages from the field and FT. And in the 06 playoffs people always fail to bring up Kobe’s Herculean game 6 ,when he dropped 50 8 5. And was a defensive rebound away from advancing against Phoenix. Although Kobe quite in game 7 he was on pace of having another 50 point game, scoring 23 in the first half. And still down 17.He was really the only person that game who could get a bucket.
@Who Asked you *stupid AS SHIT* - kobe got that one decent player in 08 in Pao Gasol, NOT a superstar and 0 career playoff wins. Kobe got them 2 wins from the Playoffs. And le3/9ron's disqualified, he had to go ride Wade's bandwagon and Miami went 5-1 without lebron that yr and would've made the Finals without him anyway. You *STUPID*
@@gangstagummybear3432 no he wasnt. He was ass. How many Playoff wins did Pao have before joining up with Kobe? Not series won, just tell how many *PLAYOFF WINS* he had. Or what did he do after Kobe🤔?
I'd say 2009 because he was at his sharpest mentally. Led them to a 65-17 record, obliterated every playoff opponent, the amount of clutch shots he hit, the pain of losing to Boston in 08 plus people saying it was proof he couldn't win one without Shaq
2003 Kobe was at his athletic peak while also being a complete sniper as a shooter. I would definitely say that was his best overall statistical season by far.
2003 is his best season overall to me. Averaged 30 while also averaging the most steals and rebs for his career. He also shot his highest % from 3 that year. He could still do crazy dunks and when he wanted could play lockdown D. 2008 is probably my favorite Kobe year. His first true Mamba year. No disrespect but In 2013 he looked like he was on something. He was in serious decline the year before and seemed to have gained a step and was more explosive in 2013. He was also playing heavy minutes that year. It’s not surprising he tore his Achilles Tendon that year.
1.08- Dominated the Western conference, Regular season MVP, statistically his best playoff run. 2.06-Career High in Points FTA Carried Lakers by single-handedly. 3.07 -Most efficient season offensively in Carried Lakers 4.00-01 -Season he became a superstar plus he Dominted the Western conference 5.03 -Career Highs in Rebounds and 3pt% 6.09/10 I count the playoffs
Kobe had very similar stats in 10 with those in 08 he had a Slightly worse regular Season Statically but in the Playoffs the 2 Seasons were almos Identical and the Fact that he actually Won the Championship gives him a big Advantage(he also had Considerably better finals stats)
With Kobe being my favorite player of all time, in my opinion, his best season was the 2009-2010 season. 27-5-5 stat line. The 6 game winners + all the other clutch/game clinching shots. Game 6 Phoenix fade-aways. His 5th championship. And topping Boston in the finals rematch. I’d go as far as saying that he could’ve (and probably should’ve) won MVP this season bailing the lakers out time and time again. Not saying LeBron shouldn’t have won or didn’t deserve it, but my vote would’ve gone to Kobe for this season.
Burner Account after winning a title and going for a 3rd finals appearance,accomplishing all that you mentioned including 1st team all defense/all nba, and the record they earned in the west would be more than enough for any other player to win mvp but not kobe smh
knicks fan exactly. Not taking anything away from Lebron, 66 wins in THAT year’s eastern conference was mightily impressive, especially with the 30-7-8 stat line he put up. But for Kobe battling injuries, the seemingly nonstop game winners and bailouts, and a still impressive stat line at 31, that would’ve been a great time to crown him a 2x MVP. Again, No discredit or hate toward Bron though. Just my opinion.
Samer Beast 2009 was a great season too, especially how dominant he was in the playoffs. But that 2010 season was my all time favorite season. There was nothing he couldn’t do that year
King Dino Dragonite trust me, I didn’t. Nor did I forget the fact that he stopped the Kobe and Shaq Lakers in their prime. It made Kobe repaying the favor half a decade later so much sweeter
Samer Beast regular season alone, ‘02 was about as good, but you combine his (arguably) best regular season with his best postseason and the answer is easy
Hello, Great analisys, as always. Would you considered to make another video about until when is the age of a basketball player prime and how long can mantain his prime in average? As you mentioned in the video, some player have been dominant at the age of 35, but that´s not the typical case. I think it may be a interesting video.
Without even watching all the way thru, 2013. At least, it's my favorite. He was never better in a valiant effort that ultimately went nowhere. I mean, Magic Mamba? Kobe getting 10+ assists a game for a stretch, finally proving he could do what Bron did. Really makes you wonder...
2009/10 was his version of Lebron’s 2018 performance. Still great numbers although their athleticism was slowly declining but their IQ had just reached such a high level where they knew exactly how to WIN basketball games.
2005-06. This is a math problem, mostly, but virtually every great basketball player hits their peak at about age 27, and Kobe is no exception. Per 100 possessions, per 36 minutes, by PER and VORP. So by any measurable criteria, 2006 Kobe was his pinnacle.
@@beast4338 I'm talking individually tho, he was a shoe free agent, 9 straight 40-point games, nasty dunks, bulked up, MJ last year & they were on the verge of a 4peat. I think if Horry would've made that 3 that rimmed in & out against the Spurs in game 5, the Lakers would've won that series & another ship
For me Kobe’s best year was 2006 in my opinion just because of impact defense scoring and efficiency and his 81 point game and how he carried that sorry lakers team to the 7 seed I also think that 2003 is his second best year and I wouldn’t be mad if you said 2003 was his best year because in my opinion that was his best all around year and also in 2006 he took the mvp to seven game even though his roster was way worse and Kobe had a 50 point game explosion in game 6 and a game winner I think in game 4
Great video. People don't talk enough about how the lakers didn't give kobe a good team from when Shaq left to when they got Gasol. If the lakers were a more competent organization Kobe could've got another ring or two. The Shaq trade was horrible.
it really wasn't in the context of the time, Shaq at this point was injury prone, putting on the pounds, and about to be a free agent. Just had the worst season of his career. Caron Butler, Lamar Odom and picks, is a goodish return. they just didnt keep Butler, which was a mistake.
Day 3 of asking Rusty to do a perfect offseason series with every single team Example: Draft, FA, Trade Targets and Possible Trade Packages Love your videos btw

Great video. People don't talk enough about how the lakers didn't give kobe a good team from when Shaq left to when they got Gasol. If the lakers were a more competent organization Kobe could've got another ring or two. The Shaq trade was horrible.
it really wasn't in the context of the time, Shaq at this point was injury prone, putting on the pounds, and about to be a free agent. Just had the worst season of his career. Caron Butler, Lamar Odom and picks, is a goodish return. they just didnt keep Butler, which was a mistake.
Between 2006-2010 was his best years
will you do about a video 2004 kobe finals
That Pierce and Garnett comment tho XD Haahahah #dead #savage
2002-03 is my personal favorite season
Dre Champ Productions mines was 2006 kobe but I do like 2003 Kobe it’s actually my second favorite version of Kobe
