I come back to this specific highlight tape every month. I used to watch this so often during my playing days in high school. I come back today saddened deeply to my favorite sports idol.
I never seen a man like this on the court, this guy is a true legend no doubt. Theres no one like him, you can't compare him to NOBODY. You understand right, KOBE IS WHERE AMAZING HAPPENS, When Kobe retires the jersey numbers 8 and 24 should be retired for every team.
LYD Feddy no sorry, Kobe could take his offense to a higher gear than MJ. Don’t give me speculation just facts, Kobe scored 81 points and was still fresh afterward. Kobe outscored an entire team through 3 quarters 62/61 and took himself out the entire 4th quarter. Jordan was a great scorer but his scoring had a cap, his best scoring game ever was 69 points and it took him overtime to get that.
@@Mike1122.you making no sense and it’s different eras with tougher rules and defense you can’t compare mj and kobe’s era .. Jordan was the better scorer.. Kobe is the toughest shot maker that’s it
I remember watching this video over and over again during my college days. Here I am watching this again today after the news of this man's passing. Rest in Paradise, Kobe. You were a gifted human being and I'm glad I got to watch you play the sport you were born to play.
That play at 0:10, Kobe deliberately slowed down to retrieve the ball so Artest would speed up to try to beat him to it and go past, giving Kobe the open shot. So crafty.
I saw this video over 10 years ago, and it summarizes the passion, anger, and love for the game Kobe Bryant had! Really and truly hurt knowing no one will ever, EVER, be like Kobe!
Kobe for me indeed is the most skillful NBA players of all time. He can take off from either foot and can shoot the ball on either hand. He knows how to read and analyze defense in a blink. Kobe should have been the MVP for all his 20 yrs of his carrer.
Joshua Roa he only really got truly robed of 1. Pretty much steve Nash, although I love him, shouldn't have won those 2 mvps. 1 should've went to shaq and 1 to Kobe.
kobe should have ended his career with at least 4 mvp's 2006,2009,2010,2002....... In reality kobe was the most valuable player to a team but sometimes the hatred for kobe seems to outdo reality.
when you really look back at Kobe's career he is one of the best 2 way players this league has ever seen. tied for most all 1st team defensive selections at 9 selections. He was a fierce on ball defender in his hayday mann. Nowadays no superstar wants to D up. its almost like playing no defense is the style now lol
And people forget how cold blooded Kobe was. im sorry for lebron fans but i dont see lebron doing this. helping the team with his Offensive asernal. its scary how he can make tough shots looks easy
Emperor Eye yes...I respect LeBron and he's a legend but he really can't do what mj and kobe did and that's why our league right now is not that exciting, I have hopes on Giannis and Kawhi though
Kobe was a scorer and shooter machine, he was in an another level. Lebron could have the bests numbers but he never, never, never , ever will be able to do the things Kobe did. Kobe was more skilled than Lebron so far. The only player similar Kobe was MJ and no one more.
People don’t understand that Kobe was the best offensive player on the court every single game he played in when healthy. Mixed with a will to just take your heart. Deadly combination. Prime Kobe was scary good. When they say it takes a while team to win that may be true in terms of titles but I’ve seen Kobe win games on his own. Defense literally had no answer for him. His game was poetic but there was still and angry aggression about him. And he’d verbally let you k ow that there wasn’t a thing you could do to stop him.
Best Offensive Player Ever Far as Skills & Combination of Different Moves + Dunks,He learned Moves From Jordan,Baylor, Erving & perfected it with his own game.Only Curry has chance at reaching 81 points or nobody else in history will.
I miss Kobe Bryant all the time when the Lakers play and watching these highlights brings so much impact to the basketball life that he had and that father loved for his daughters was even brighter he brought so much to the world while he was here R.I.P Black Mamba miss you all the time my five time legendary champ 🏆🏆🏆🏆 🏆 🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀 😇😇😇😇😇
Dude wtf did I just watch ! Kobe is the Literal f*** GOAT ! Playing extremely skillfully hard on both ends Offense & Defense ! Who else did or does that at that prestine level? No one . Only 1 . KOBE 🐐
The dunk at 7:09-10 is almost unexplainable. 90% of the people would only be able to do a lay up. Play it back at least 3 times and you'll be like wait, what?
I understand that Michael Jordan is the Greatest ever and Kobe(My favorite player ever) is his successor which is a great thing. But let's not be quick to say MJ is the greatest scorer ever and he's not nor Kobe. It's Wilt Chamberlain! This man averaged 50 point a game an entire season. Also scored 100 points in a single game without 3s. Which is very important to know because you can have someone like Klay Thompson who will make 11 3s(9 in the 3rd qtr) and a couple other shots to get 38 points in one quarter. Had Kobe played in MJ era, he might've been better on the count of his ability to shoot 3s and underrated ball handling and passing skills. Kobe really modeled his game after many greats not just Jordan but Magic Bird Baylor Kareem West and Big O. Now it's pretty obvious that Kobe copies Jordan on the court but if you think about it, it's the same thing kids do(including myself years ago) while on the court I'd do a move and think I'm Kobe. And I'm sure Kobe thinks he's Jordan on the court and there's nothing wrong with that. Whatever helps you be great, use it!
+Joshua Duenas not unless he had a jumper. Going to Wilt all game long wouldn't be the same as Centers today are more athletic and the rules now aren't the same rules of the 60s.
+Chris Brathwaite how do you explain 7'1 walter dukes, 7'3 swede halbrook, & 7'0" mel counts all played in the 60's like wilt , why weren't they scoring 100 or averaging 50 in a season? didn't they face the same 6'6 centers like bill russell, walt bellamy, willis reed or nate thurman?...oh wait, were they 6'6 or 6'10 & 6'11"?
+Xylem Cohen lol he shot 49% the year he scored 50ppg, thats not even that great if ur comparing to other centers. if shaq wouldve averaged 50 shots per game he wouldve scored more than wilt. thats just simple math.
I have kobes old jersey, and i still have it. Id always liked him, not only his skills are beautiful, his attitude towards the game, and the sportsmanship that he has. He is the best in the game and out.
Kobe imitate jordan on purpose , cuz he know he better then mj and mj know deep down inside kobe is better , but of course he won't admit it shit he already admit he can't beat mamba 1 on 1 lls
Awesome video ... some of those aerial shots were really cool ... get to see what a great ball handler he is splitting two and three defenders in tight alleys ... one of the best Kobe videos I've seen
The crowd's reaction when Kobe hits the fade away over LeBron is priceless. I miss my guy. Str8 killer. The greatest skilled player to ever live. Mamba forever ♾️
This is why Kobe Bryant is the Greatest Player Ever Lived All-Time Greatest there will NEVER be another Kobe Bryant, & even after 20yrs past we still ain't going to see a True Legend like him Ever. we might see a tiny bit of Kobe but NEVER going to see the Greatest Ever play again but we can now ENJOY his Legacy TODAY while YOU still CAN.
I practise every single day of every single week in every single month in all these 9 years of my playing ball. 'Been three times leading scorer and mvp in my country...I'm 16 yrs old now. But the shit that kobe was doing at my age is outrageous. Gotta love him :)
soon to be the greatest scorer. the greatest all around scorer to ever play the game. the greatest all around player to ever play the game. The greatest player to ever play the game.
I come back to this specific highlight tape every month. I used to watch this so often during my playing days in high school. I come back today saddened deeply to my favorite sports idol.
RIP Mamba 😥😥😥💔💔💔💔🥀🥀🥀
Me too bro.

damn bro me too 😭 that’s crazy..
It’s really the music for me , but the highlights just make it so much better 😩🔥

Ray Ramiro can compare with jordan

Kobe is one of the greatest for a reason.

Can't believe someone is still watching ☺

+Trent Diamanti yup
+Trent Diamanti me too as well...
+Trent Diamanti hands down, kobe is TOO GOOD!

I agree.

That’s a stretch my boy love Kobe he atleast had a good 4 he missed out on
NBA did Kobe so dirty he was robbed of many MVPs
Joshua Roa Yepp 2-5 of em...
but im sure you have no problem with NBA fixing games so he and lakers can win championships right?
Joshua Roa he only really got truly robed of 1. Pretty much steve Nash, although I love him, shouldn't have won those 2 mvps. 1 should've went to shaq and 1 to Kobe.
kobe should have ended his career with at least 4 mvp's 2006,2009,2010,2002....... In reality kobe was the most valuable player to a team but sometimes the hatred for kobe seems to outdo reality.

Wow. 8 minutes of quality basketball education!! Thanks for sharing. This was great!!! I gotta watch it again.

He was a fierce on ball defender in his hayday mann. Nowadays no superstar wants to D up. its almost like playing no defense is the style now lol
JDot2423 defensive selections that he didn't deserve. Thabo sefolosha and tony Allen were WAY better defenders when Kobe was pass his prime.
He could easily guard the smaller 3 positions and go get the big guys when he had to
imsljr420 there is always a hater in the crowd. Kobe was a great defender.
@@imsljr420 no way this human being said sefolosha
@@gzk13kc28 you must not know who he is.
And people forget how cold blooded Kobe was. im sorry for lebron fans but i dont see lebron doing this. helping the team with his Offensive asernal. its scary how he can make tough shots looks easy
I feel like the current era of basketball is going to die when Kobe retires... Just not going to be the same.
NoPhame thats what they said when Jordan went then came Kobe
NoPhame it is right now :(
Emperor Eye yes...I respect LeBron and he's a legend but he really can't do what mj and kobe did and that's why our league right now is not that exciting, I have hopes on Giannis and Kawhi though

The one n only Kobe Bryant!
how quickly they forget

I’m so thankful I got to see Kobe play for all those years! Good times
These videos always got me through high school, always made Kobe seem so much more legendary for me. RIP Kobe and GiGI :(
GOAT. LEGEND. 100% UNCONTANABLE 1ON1.
Kobe was a scorer and shooter machine, he was in an another level. Lebron could have the bests numbers but he never, never, never , ever will be able to do the things Kobe did. Kobe was more skilled than Lebron so far. The only player similar Kobe was MJ and no one more.
My man , Kobe Bryant will live with me forever, he is my idol not just for basketball, but for life too!!!
By far, the greatest Kobe highlight video I have EVER seen. Period.
Damn bro watching all your videos and can’t believe your gone R.I.P. 🖤🐍
LEGENDARY! AMAZING! GODLIKE! UNBELIEVABLE!
Is there an even better word to describe this guy?
Captain Obvious Yep captain obvious

I would pay to go back to those days to watch Kobe again. I almost never missed a game he played #GREATNESS
Best Offensive Player Ever Far as Skills & Combination of Different Moves + Dunks,He learned Moves From Jordan,Baylor, Erving & perfected it with his own game.Only Curry has chance at reaching 81 points or nobody else in history will.
Who's watching this after Kobe's last game?
watching this for the rest of my life,AMAZING BLACK MAMBA FOREVER!
ThisIsLeor
me
been coming back to this video since I was 12 years old... nostalgia
The footwork, the fadeaways, the midrange, the spin moves, the dunks….most complete player the game ever seen….rip legend.
no flaws in his game so fundamentally sound
This was uploaded on my birthday! :)
well happy birthday
I miss Kobe Bryant all the time when the Lakers play and watching these highlights brings so much impact to the basketball life that he had and that father loved for his daughters was even brighter he brought so much to the world while he was here R.I.P Black Mamba miss you all the time my five time legendary champ 🏆🏆🏆🏆 🏆 🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀 😇😇😇😇😇
Dude wtf did I just watch ! Kobe is the Literal f*** GOAT ! Playing extremely skillfully hard on both ends Offense & Defense ! Who else did or does that at that prestine level? No one . Only 1 . KOBE 🐐
I want to model my game after Kobe. I don't need all those crazy handles curry have. just be fundamentally sound like him
That's all u need
um actually kobe bryant handles is more better than curry.. check it on youtube
Kobe's handles are still nasty. Like a knife, one small perfectly executed crossover then spin move and its game over...
unselfish clones who has better handles kyrie Irving or kobe Bryant? Answer honestly.
Lord pls take Bieber. just bring Kobe back
Dude wtf, this was posted 4 years ago and could have been written 4 hours ago.
That sound so weird right now...Sadness for Greatness :'(
@sammy mehari Yeah I know but when you say "Lord...please bring Kobe back" you are usually referring to a person who has recently died.
Illuminati
My favorite Kobe highlight video
Still one of the best Kobe vids available. Thanks again for uploading albeit 11 years late on my thank you.
miss the good ole days the lakers were the better LA team
The dunk at 7:09-10 is almost unexplainable. 90% of the people would only be able to do a lay up. Play it back at least 3 times and you'll be like wait, what?
This song totally makes this video awesome. Kobe will never be stopped. NEVER
this is one of the best, if not the best, kobe highlights ive seen
LOL lebron's reaction 3:20

Wrong. He was the largest player back when centers were only about 6'6.
Name one center that was 6'6^
+Joshua Duenas not unless he had a jumper. Going to Wilt all game long wouldn't be the same as Centers today are more athletic and the rules now aren't the same rules of the 60s.

This is one of the best Kobe montages I've ever seen!
Phil Jackson himself said Kobe was a more skilled player and a better shooter.
Kobe imitate jordan on purpose , cuz he know he better then mj and mj know deep down inside kobe is better , but of course he won't admit it shit he already admit he can't beat mamba 1 on 1 lls
best mix of kobe bryant that i have seen in a while
Awesome video ... some of those aerial shots were really cool ... get to see what a great ball handler he is splitting two and three defenders in tight alleys ... one of the best Kobe videos I've seen
what song it is? who can tell me?
i want to know too

That's really awesome that you included some assists and defensive highlights with this one
Only when his gone will people truly appreciate such a talent.

Kobe compilation and requiem for the dream are the best thing in the world
This is why Kobe Bryant is the Greatest Player Ever Lived All-Time Greatest there will NEVER be another Kobe Bryant, & even after 20yrs past we still ain't going to see a True Legend like him Ever. we might see a tiny bit of Kobe but NEVER going to see the Greatest Ever play again but we can now ENJOY his Legacy TODAY while YOU still CAN.
There will never be another Kobe bean Bryant or mj rest in paradise Kobe and Gigi ❤️💪🏾
My favorite kobe compilation of them all.
One of the best Kobe mixes I have ever seen. Great choice of music too, and excellent overall production. Keep up the great work!
Kobe is the greatest and those don’t agree must be nothing but haters 🤷🏻♂️
Why would ppl even dislike this video? You know it's a kobe mix and if you're not a fan of his then why even click on it? Smh
true
This man wasn't a stat chaser he was pure basketball player
So sad that the injurys happend the guy was playing sooo good . Amazing footwork
I can watch this ALL day
This man with never be coppied nor duplicated.. The most entertaining man to ever watch in NBA HISTORY!!!!!! Fuk yea
I practise every single day of every single week in every single month in all these 9 years of my playing ball. 'Been three times leading scorer and mvp in my country...I'm 16 yrs old now. But the shit that kobe was doing at my age is outrageous. Gotta love him :)
