Mavericks @ Lakers, March 2, 2008 | The 2007-08 regular season featured one of the tightest races for western conference playoff positioning in NBA history. Both the Mavs (39-20) and the Lakers (41-18) entered this Sunday afternoon showdown looking to make a move in the standings. Kobe and the Lakers were coming off a tough road loss in Portland where their 10 game winning streak came to an end. Kobe ended the first half with 14 points but uncharacteristically left 7 points at the free throw line (3-10). He added 8 more points in the 3rd, but the Lakers were outscored 21-15 and Dallas took a three point lead to the 4th. Kobe went nuclear in the final quarter, exploding for 22 points with a perfect 13-13 from the line. After a Dirk Nowitzki three sent the game into overtime, Kobe added in another 8 points and the Lakers pulled away for good. KB ended the afternoon with his 22nd career 50+ point game, scoring 52 points on 15-27 shooting and grabbing 11 rebounds. After missing 7 of his first 10 at the free throw line, he made his next 17 to record a career-high 27 free throw attempts, making 20.

I can’t believe there’s actually people who said Kobe was never the best player in the world smh. That’s how you know they didn’t watch basketball
Facts. Legend.
Exactly
Kobe was the best easily from 03-10.
@@adenmartinez434 03 until 2013 in my opinion
he wasn't! Michael Jordan is.
Jeff's prediction of Kobe grabbing the free-throw rebound over Brandon Bass is one of my favourite moments of sports commentaries. Classic.
he didn't predict it, the dude's a legit coach
@Joel Villarreal thanks Mark Jackson lol
Bro, I was 16 at that time, I got fucking mental after he said that and Kobe got the rebound lol
Was definitely one of the best to play my lakeshow family
He predicted ot because its clutch time and u have Lamar on the line,,and no one on that defense cane guard Bryant 1on1.....no brainer my guy!!
Kobe gives the ball up...Odom gets it.. in clutch... MISSES ALL FTS..This is why Kobe doesn't pass... Kobe mad... Activate Mamba Mode... Offensive REB
TKainZero lakers were better when love trusted his teammates! Lamar Odom was Lakers glue guy
Matthew Dave lakers best lineup was gasol Odom ArizA Bryant and Fisher They finishes the games with that lineup on the floor the year they beat Orlando
Damn, I miss the '08-'10 Lakers... Such a great team.
Mateusz Lewandowski Yeah I remember when they won the championships I think it was in 2009 or 2010
Cyanide Guy or both 😏
They were the favs to challenge the heat in 2011 too and they got swept by the Mavs.
@@jaycool9480 Kobe declined the surgery to his knee after the '10 finals, it came back to haunt him, that is the Mavs sweeping them. the straight 3 finals trip took a heavy toll to his already injured body - just 2nd to allen iverson in total injuries
Lakers wasn't the favorites. The lakers struggled against the New Orleans Hornets in the first round. At that time, the Mavs were the favorites since they beat the number one seed Spurs.
This is the first ever game I've seen at staples center and he dropped 52. I was glad it went to overtime and a win
Kobe was the best player in the world at that time
HANDS DOWN!!!
No LeBron was
Avril Lavigne LeBron was when he was with the Heat, not at this time.
@@TheMrKobeBryant2012 lebron is a pussy
@@TheMrKobeBryant2012 Lol, LeBron wasn't better than Tim Duncan or Kobe Bryant at this time. Wade was arguably better than LeBron at this time too.
It’s 2008 and Van Gundy and Jackson acknowledge that Kobe has been the best “at least” the last 3-4 years. Then he went to three straight finals, winning two. These are former players and coaches, not talking heads in the media or sports writers. Guys that actually know basketball. RIP MAMBA
Kobe should have won, at least, 3 straight MVPs from 2006-08. He dragged a Lakers team with Smoosh Parker and Kwame Brown to the playoffs. But Nash somehow got the MVP again 2006, and Dirk wins in 2007, because he was on the league's best team. It shouldn't have taken Kobe's Lakers being one of the top teams in the league for him to finally get the MVP.
@@pomerlain8924 Who was Dirk's second best player? Jason fuckin Terry? They won 67 games. The Lakers lost to the Sun's in 06' and 07' in the first round. They blew a 3-1 lead in 06' when the Suns were without Amar'e Stoudemire. Outside of few instances, the MVP has always gone to the best player on the best regular season team. Are you going to pretend that Phil Jackson wasn't coaching those Lakers teams?
@@pomerlain8924 Dirk and Nash Both had 50/40/90 season's their MVP years. Something that had only happened twice before. Nash won again in 06 because he was better then he was in 05'. They almost got to finals without Amare in 06 because of Nash.
That's the truth. And honestly he was the best since 2001. People just didn't have the ability to digest what they were witnessing.
09 and 10 should have been Kobe's MVPs for what he led the Lakers to in that stacked West AND being the best player in the world.
kobe so underrated as a FT shooter. clutch
These clutch rebounds are honestly some of Kobe's best plays in his amazing career. Who knew getting a rebound could be so awesome!
Winners make game winning plays in anyway needed.
you watch this and you can only say to yourself what a complete basketball player in his prime. That offensive rebound just fundamentally proved it. Yea he can score but he can dominate in games in other areas.
The truth he was the real deal had the arena on they toes
I loved that season, rocking the forearm sleeve with the high socks, that really fit him, i was sad when he changed up the year after lol
totally
he brought it back in 2013, 14, and this season.
iHoop12 true he looked badass with it
iHoop12 I never liked it. I prefer the 06 season when he had his arm band on his left bicep and another one on his right knee
Mehran Mirkazemi yeah i remember that, but i liked 08 better because of how sick he was playing as well, he had so much swagger that season
When nick wright and Cowherd look at their stats and say he was never the best player in the league, but the ESPN announcers watching all these games say he's been the best for the last 3/4 years and been robbed of MVP. how i hate stat boys!
he was the best in NBA from 2006-2012 by far
Rudy Cooper 2002-2012.
Coops lol from 02 at LEAST ... n arguably before that to 2012 , bc even during shaqs years with the lakers, it was some ppl who was saying kobe was better than shaq, n it is arguable 💯💯💛💜 learn your shii
...and on top of that, How can the player of the decade (2000-2010) never be the best player?? That's impossible, right? Nick and some of the media are dumb asses!
Sam nick wright is a certified kobe hater
My first live game ever seeing Kobe Bryant and he scores 52. RIP goat
Even the announcers know Kobe has been robbed in terms of MVP more than a few times.
Bruh Kobe should have at least 4 mvps bro.
Mike Don probably just one of Nash’ mvp
Nash deserved all of his mvps , bron didn’t deserved 09 or 10 they could’ve went to kobe , look at Duncan’s
Aaron Wright What the fuck are you talking about? that exact same Cavs team was a lottery squad in 11 without LeBron. They had almost identical roster and could not even get a 9 or 10 spot in the East. Kobe had Ariza, Gasol, Odom and fucking Phil Jackson and in 2010 had Ron Artest. All of his bench players could shoot and he played offense first garbage squads every single playoffs series except against the Spurs which were far weaker than they’d been the entire previous decade. His WCF opponent was the fucking Nuggets with Melo who doesn’t play defense, Kmart who doesn’t play defense and JR Smith who doesn’t play defense and old man Chauncey. They then played a massively overachieving trash Suns team in the 2010 WCF that also played zero defense. LeBron played The Hawks, Celtics and Magic which were all elite defensive teams in the playoffs.
@@aaronwright9246 nash desirved all his mvps? Kobe averaged 35ppg tf u talking about. Nash averaged like 18/10
Back when Kobe was playing perfect basketball
JVG prediction is great... but I also loved Kobe being irritated by his bad free throw shooting, then his free throw shooting becomes perfect and the big difference in securing the win...
Best in the 🌎 👑 Kobe. Still watching in 2023
His ability to dominate a game is something that Lebron can't match Lebron is all stats n he's big and strong but I'm sorry kobe is retiring as the second best to ever play the game
daniel sims LeBron is all stats & no heart
daniel sims Hahah no
Delfiffer2 Kobe's much more skilled my dude
Creative Skilled at what?
Delfiffer2 footwork...3PTers, mid-range, fadeaways, ball handling, FT shooting..overall scoring ability
5:03 The most skilled player to EVER play the game. Instead of focusing on great footwork nowadays, they just take as many steps as they can get away with.
I had to rewind it 4 times so I could add that to my game
Could be also Steph
The great Kobe Bean
jeff van gundy's prediction on the offensive rebound gave me goosebumps😱😮
Kobe always knew when it was time for him to take over. Whenever it was the start of the 4th, that’s when he was feared because the other team knew he was the best closer in the game; he was the kind of player that would not let a game come down to the final shot.
I still find it hard to believe this man won ONLY one MVP… he was the best player in the league from 2002-‘03 to 2011-‘12; he should have four MVPs to his name (2002-‘03, 2005-‘06, 2006-‘07 & 2007-‘08).
Man Kobe was really a student of the game. He learned not only from MJ, his footwork from Hakeem, Hook shot from Kareem
😢, here after his death, he was, in some ways, better than Jordan
I've seen Kobe using this rebound technique often, pushing into the defender as if he wants to go one way and then suddenly releasing the pressure. Defender still pushes and goes the wrong way, Kobe spinned around to the other side and voila
His rebounding was great, saved the Lakers in the 2010 Game 7
15 rebounds with a broken shooting finger
I thought Kobe wasn't clutch??? At some point during this video Kobe was 4-5 in the 4th of a close game and 10-10 from free throw line!!!! Crazy insane will to win man
Kobe deserves 4 MVPs
Are we really just gonna ignore how good of an interviewee he is? No stuttering no pausing just straight spewing out answers.
arm sleeve Kobe was something else
1:56 I hate how people say luke was a scrub. He fit in the triangle so well. He's smart with the ball, can hit open shots, tall enough to grab boards and above all else his passing is comparable to a floor general. He's a perfect fit in that offense and was an integral part of their success.
That's one play. He had many boneheaded plays like that meltdown in Game 6 vs the Sun's in 05 which lost them the series.
He's also had numerous contributions to the championship run.
I think we're thinking of two different Luke Walton's
Yeah youre in the casual fan- type of thinking. you know, the type of reads about basketball in bleacher report instead of watching the game.
LiqCharles as a Starter in the playoffs, he was a bonehead. As a key player during the championship run off the bench, he was fantastic. Even during the latter years, the reason for his crazy contract was his locker room presence and floor leadership. No denying Luke Walton was a solid passer.
Kobe is the best
Kobe with the short sleeve + crew socks = unstoppable
Bruh Kobe literally put that whole team on his back in his era gotta give him a lot of respect this was one of the greatest players of all time rip
Watching this game exactly 13 years later. R.I.P Kobe
I am not a Lakers fan nor a kobe fan but he is a freaking legend!
Man that JVG prediction at 11:10
amazing！
Dudes a legit coach! Great insight.
+irsute8833 amazing. This guy also predicted MVP for Kobe somewhere around 7th minute.
Kobe and Paul. Unique team partnership
I don't know how many times I've watched this video every time I saw it on recommendation and my watch later I always play it. Now for the nth time it's a little bit different because I just feel very sad while watching it knowing Kobe died on a helicopter crash. Still can't believe it. #RipKobe #MambaOut
7:35 even the announcers think it's unbelievable that the best player in the league doesn't have a mvp. You see MVP doesn't mean you're the best player in the league. Nobody would call 2 time mvp steve nash the best hell nobody cares he even has two MVPs. When i tell that to people they be like Nash got MVP over Kobe?
Kobe was the best in the league from 2002 or 03 until 2010 from then on it was LeBrons time even tho what happened in the 2011 finals isn't worthy of being called best in the world so maybe from 03 until 11. Still just 1 MVP cuz that shit is based on your team record although most ppl view mvps as individual accomplishments. That's totally wrong. Give Kobe some great teammates in his prime he'd be first in that tough western conference and have multiple mvps. Not to mention the media always hated that guy cuz of the rape charge and he didn't give any fucks about them.
+Prince Cyrill: Warriors fan since 2015
Kobe was still right there as the best player in the league up until his Achilles injury. He had a solid 10 years where he was either unquestionably the best or right there with lebron and then kd too.
+an You serious?Kobe made 3 straight NBA finals in those years, and won a MVP, and won two titles... But yea... D-Wade... For his ability to recruit...
+an yeah cause its easy to win with Kwame Brown
Shaq was Kobe's teammate during the early 2000's so that took votes away from him and when the Lakers became Kobe's team they weren't very good. I don't think your team has to be the #1 seed to be named MVP but winning does have to play a part in the process. LeBron & Wade also had strong cases (and identical or superior stats) at that time so it wasn't just Kobe that was robbed.
Lol they said Kobe never pass he technically pass that towel to that lady 😂😂😂
I love that he replayed that
Thank you for this upload! One of my favourite Kobe games!
05-10 Kobe was easily the best player in the league👌🏾
2006-2010:
2x NBA Champion
2x NBA Finals MVP
NBA MVP
2x Scoring Champion
Only player during that span to be on All-NBA First Team & First Team Defense EVERY YEAR.
* The resume would’ve been EVEN MORE impressive if he didn’t have terrible teams those two years.
@@sergiogarcia5593 facts brother but he don’t get the respect he deserve it’s crazy…
I can watch Kobe play all day
Wow he was awesome
And this is what made kobe better than LeBron, i was watching this not remembering what happend exactly but when kobe was at the free throw line I knew he would make them.shots no matter what ! Watching old LeBron James games in play off a or finals he misses very important free throws and missed 3's at clutch moments. Kobe almost never missed when the stakes got higher, kobe also has 5 rings and scored 81 points in one game and has a record for most games with 40 or more points in a row
Everything about this video is just amazing
For all the grief Luke Walton gets, he was a great passer.
Truly
He was a great role player on those LA championship teams
Luke had his fathers genes. No he wasn't his dad, but he earned his spot. Better than Kwame or Smush ffs!
“Come on come on We ain’t losing today!” #MambaMentality win by all means 🔥🔥🐍 #KB24
Kobe got officiated very differently in the Finals versus regular season or even the first few playoff rounds. He normally got lots of FTA but the whistles got swallowed in the Finals and it was irritating.
playoffs they don't get calls and that is difference between kobe and harden. kobe was 2 way player who can carry the team into the finals without free throws.
Kobe didnt embrace excuses. Let that sink in
@@robertmiller5425 he actually blame himself
What a game! Kobe ICE COLD. You can see who wants it more. RIP, Mamba.
MJ maybe the Goat, but Kobe is the man in LA always will be! In life his accomplishments on and off the court are unparalleled !
Miss those years. True basketball.
Hate today's games, when they stand open behind the arc looking for the 3
😭
idol.
"I think they should go into a box-and-1. Put the box on Kobe, and the one on everybody else."
-JVG
RIP Kobe. I love you hero.
am from the future 2018. kobe was robbed of 4 mvps and how is lebron better than this guy. this kid kobe is not bullying to the paint look at the array of moves just like kd. i bet u kd watched kobe tapes wow lebron is not close to this guys basketball skill wow
Kobe is my all time favorite but lebron is a beast in his own ways
@@joshromero-burgan9860 man rip mamba
RIP KOBE!!!
GOTE!!
(Greatest of That Era)
Like Kobe, MJ, Vince and AI, great shooting guards should be entertaining to watch. You simply can't say that for Harden.
D Wade!
"We ain't losing today"...mamba mentality at display
Kobe was impossible to guard. This season in particular. Took a whole team to stop him.
Kobe, you’ll live forever!
Kobe WE AIN'T LOSING TODAY ❤❤
back when Kobe was in his prime
he was past his prime here, physically. can't fly like he used to after 12 years in the league but still good enough
+guest lol what? do u know what prime is? this was the stage where Kobe maximize his basketball talent. he had reached his peak which means he was going to get much better.
+guest You got it all wrong. Kobes airtime has increased this season. Havent you noticed that his defender landed first after kobe jumped first. and check kobes reverse jams, tomahawks, in-game 360s and that one against CP3s hornets where kobes head is above the rim in a Carl's Jr highlight.
This was his last year being in his physical prime he was like 29 or 30 here
Kobe was in his prime between 2005 and 2008.
Oct. 2020 and still watching.
Kobes such a great FT shooter, I don't get why he wasn't around 90%, yeah I know he shot around 80-85% but he's so good he should've been around 90 for his career
Actually kobe going 80-85% seems about right.. during his prime he gets to the line quit alot. The more attempt the lower ur % will be. If u look at players around 90% ft career, they don't shoot alot of free throws like kobe
As far as I can remember, he makes everything when it mattered the most
RIP Legend
i really miss this man 😢
Man I miss the 08’-10’ lakers Kobe really trusted these guys more than any team maybe with the exception of the 99’-03’ Lakers teams
5:03 young bloods wanna learn footwork? look at that
Kobe most underrated trait is his ability to make his teammates better best in history at it just not a pass first player
Why would you want him to be a pass first player if he's the main scorer. C'mon man stop trippin 🤣🤣🤣
This easily could've been a 60 pt + game if he makes those free throws
Great upload one of my fav Kobe games
I’m stilling coming back to watch Kobe play. Got damn I miss the fuck out of that man.
11:20 that's why kobe doesn't want to pass.
GOAT RIP
PRIME MAMBA RIGHT HERE! We miss you Kob!!
Kobe is the 🐐
@4:00 had me laughing in tears. I love Kobe RIP To him and GG
RIP KOBE 😭💜💛
Kobe was amazing in this game, but that dagger three from Nowitzki was ice cold
That's not a dagger. A "dagger" is putting the game away for good.
4:02 Do u guys not notice him throwing a towel at someones head? LOL
Frustrations of a basketball 🤣😂🤣🏀
That pass by walton tho damn
It's absurd to call any performance by Kobe "quiet", but of all of his 50+ point games, this one seems to get the least amount of attention.
This is inspiring me for more studying, and being a complete person. Thank you Mamba.
Greatest player of all time!!!
コービ最後点差離れてても
個人技でもゴリ押しで
とってくるよな
なんか負けん気が凄い
プレーから伝わってくるわ
"STOPS ONNA DIME GIVES EM 9 CENTS CHANGE" -mark jackson is legendary
I look at him and can't believe this man,a God on the court ,is gone!!
Great share !
Look at Van Grundy predicting the offensive board by Kobe @ 11:06 !!! WoW ! 😮😮 That’s why coaches coach, and players play.
the sound of dat swish when kobe hits dem free throws omg
3 things.
I remember watching this game live as a 15 yr old, I distintly remember watching mavs coach avery Johnson in the late 4th and overtime going crazy at his team on defense trying to stop kobe but nothing was working!
The call/prediction that kobe was gonna get the offensive rebound is still slightly midblowing to me.
As kobe was hard on his teammates he was even more hard on himself. You could easily tell how upset he was for missing free throws.
I can't believe some people put players like Bill Russell or Larry bird or even Tim Duncan above kobe on the all time list. Non of those players could impact both ends of the court and single handedly take over games like kobe
Kobe is goat
Hey @Kobefan124 thanks for all these amazing clips man
She really should of had 60, he missed like 7 or 8 free throws. Still one of my all time favorite Kobe performances.
Rest in peace Kobe and his beautiful daughter
ONE OF THE TOP 2 G.O.A.T.S. OF ALL TIME... I AM DIE HARD KOBE AND LAKER FAN... AND EVERYTHING EVERYONE IS SAYING NOW SHOULD OF BEEN SAID WHILE HE WAS ALIVE... HE IS THE BEST CLOSER OF ALL TIME IN THE NBA... PERIOD... 10 SECONDS OR LESS LEFT IN A GAME AND YOU GOT PROBLEMS WHEN THE BALL IS IN HIS HANDS.... R.I.P. BLACK MAMBA... A.K.A. BEANS...OR JUST SIMPLE KOBE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No no we ain’t losing today hits my soul
MVP MVP MVP KOBE
steph curry u r one of my favorite players but ur not in the same sentence with this guy or jordan just yet!
Kobe mad at Halftime:
Reporter: what's wrong Kobe?
Kobe: shooting free throws like crap (3 for 10
Second half: kobe proceed to make 17 free throws IN A ROW!! A
