2009 NBA Finals Game 1, June 4, 2009 | Kobe Bryant's determination and intensity were at an all-time high entering the 2009 Finals one year after a painful beat down at the hands of the Boston Celtics. Looking to make a statement early in the series, Kobe dazzled the Staples Center crowd with the use of his entire repertoire. In 38 minutes on the floor, Bean erupted for a Finals career-high 40 points while collecting 8 rebounds and dishing out 8 assists. The Lakers rode Kobe's intensity and a stifling defense to a 25 point beat-down, allowing the Magic to score just 75 points on under 30% shooting.

Kobe Bryant is the only player to win back to back championships without a top 75 NBA player as a teammate
U right sir
Crazy to think about that is Kobe Bryant is the only one of the 75 greatest players of all time of the two teams
I guess Shaq doesn’t exist
@@Justin683 he’s talking about 2009 and 2010.
@@Justin683 this mfker thinks he did something 🤣

I’m still upset because it should of been Kobe vs lebrons cavs lol
@Hauger what's your point his legacy will live on
Mess up dude
Kobe kobe legand!! Ur right!!
Kobe has no fancy handshakes, only results..
Right
Facts!
Damn right ✔️ 🐍 🐐
Kobe's getting hit on the arm and hand on a lot of his contested mid-rangers too. He just keeps jogging away and comes back to do it again. If this were today, every star would be screaming and crying at the ref. That's why Kobe is different from the rest of the pack.
The man would get hacked more than anybody I have ever seen during is jumpshot and fade-away! It started after that colorado case and he got used to it!
Only in this video, he scores at least a couple of shots with a clear illegal defense on him.
I literally just said the same thing watching the replays
This is a damn fact man, not many left out there like Kobe with his attitude and "will" to succeed and not relying on refs to save him to win. Need more warriors out there than crybaby's 🗣️
@2:12 he calls for a foul
Watching a bunch of OG Kobe highlights (before injuries). How dare anyone who calls themselves an unbiased fan say Kobe isn't Top 10, and continue to disrespect his career
For real.
True that. He is a monster. Coming from someone who's favourite era is 80s-mid 00s. He is definitely a Top 10 just on the basis of his artistry. On both ends too!
Ikr he’s still a all time great let the hater hate 6th all time no debate
Your comment just disrespected Kobe dumb fuck. Look at this trash bag team. Kobes the best ever nobody is even close. Nobody in top 10 history wins with this team other than Kobe
Top 2 DOA
The greatest to ever do it. Basketball is never the same without him. He was a different type of special.
Dead on bro... different, different.
Kobe was something special you got that right, he was only 1 month older than I am I remember being in high school hearing about him and then watching him get to the NBA and become unbeatable.
So overhyped it’s not even funny
@@AAAA-tn2ul goof.
He should have won mvp that season too
He should've won that year and the next year
He should've won 4 mvps in his career
Kobe always robbed😭
Scored 61 points on 31 shots in 37 minutes at madision square garden this season. Only player to score 60+ on 31 shots twice (06 & 09) & Only player to score 60+ in 37 minutes or less twice (06 33 minutes & 09 37 minutes). Mvp would have been the cherry on top in 09. Should have won 3 straight in 2008, 2009, 2010 honestly.
You Kobe fans swear he was robbed. He was deserving of 1 and that’s 2008
Kobe was a straight assassin in these finals. miss these days.
Kobe Bryant: the only player in NBA history to score 600+ points or more in 3 consecutive playoff appearances
So weird watching these highlights. It's like he is a god.
Yeah dude!! I watch this wayback 2012 live on tv.
Game face
Mvp
Black mamba
Legandary
1 man 1 team
The Greatest!! Of all time

@SeaWeevil410 wats wrong with you

The Greatest Laker Ever! We Will Miss You Kobe🙏😭💔
How can you NOT consider Kobe as one of the BEST ever in the NBA?,??????!!
He is 2nd best player all time
Kobe is the goat simple
R.I.P KOBE THE GOAT😭😭😭
MJ
Kobe best player of all time. No one take fill his place miss you mamba 😔
Binge watching Kobe highlights and interviews! RiP MAMBA 🙏
Kobe was so determined this season it was fucking great man
I was 11 years old at this time and this dude was like Zeus to me lol. The Kobe vs LeBron debates at the lunch table and late summer nights watching highlights were the best days 💯 Glad I got to see him play in person when he came to the palace. 🐐
I get goosebumps all over every time I listen to the crowd when Kobe hits a shot, he different. 🐍♾️
Kobe should have had so many "and 1s" in that game, Orlando forever hitting him on his arms during jumpers.
@GREEN TV PAUSE
@@fredericfoe2456 RIGHT ?
In today's nba that would of been a 60 pt game
KOBE THE FUCKING BEAN!!! I miss Kobe dearly man! Basketball aint the same without him
this is the reason dwight doesn't like Kobe lol
LOL
Lol
This and getting baptised his rookie year
Tito 2k LMAOO
Lmao true
Rip Kobe. Remembering his amazing 09 playoff run
Some people just do not get how hard it was to come out of the West around those times. I was blessed to watch Kobe play from the first time he stepped on the court, his first time being interviewed by the famous Chick Hearn (R.I.P.), all the way up until his final game. I miss that killer on the court!
I was so happy when Kobe got his 4 championship (:
Kobe Bryant is by far the greatest basketball player that I've ever seen on the court
Can u just imagine what this man would do in todays nba 😯
As a mavs fan I became a lakers fan because of Kobe Bryant. He made the game soo fun to watch. I remember watching these finals. #RIP
Put worthy players around Kobe and you're contending every year. Lakers' roster is absolute garbage right now. Kobe is still putting up 27 pts, 5 rebs and 4 asts in his 19th year with almost 55,000 minutes played and also coming off of 2 big injuries. Best work ethic of all time.
He doesn't have ANY role players on that team they're to hesitant to shoot or doesn't try to improve their shots at all everybody who's blinded because he's a "ball hog" that avg as many assist as lebron are the only ones who says he's "not" when he had role players look at the result nuff said
CariX0 Idk man. Yeah, the Lakers are looking stagnant, the other players don't really make an attempt to get open on several possession, but sometimes Kobe doesn't even give them the chance to. Idk if you watched the game against the Warriors last Sunday, but Kobe was literally shooting the ball the second he touched it, it didn't matter where he was as long as he was within the 3 point line, it didn't even matter if he was looking at the basket, he just kept chucking. That isn't winning basketball, it gets your teammates out of the game and leads to bad shots.
I don't like how he Is still being criticized tho.. I guess it's because it's kobe, the most CRITICIZED PLAYER IN SPORTS HISTORY! Seriously man, it's only been 13-14 games for the lakers and kobe is already being criticized highly like its the the end of the season or in the playoffs! Shiiiit maaan
Brandon Reed 1111111111qqqqqqq+qqqqqqqqqqqq
WarriorsOrochiRules I thought after taking the Lakers to 3 straight finals again and winning 2.that people would stop criticizing him but.i.guess they never will lol !!it's funny all the haters said after shaq left that kobe would never win anything or get back to.the finals lol honestly I didn't think he would either i.trult.didnt !!
Thank you Kobe
I'm here reminiscing Kobe aswell.
Hard to let this man go.
TheUnthinkable especially now ..
A broken right index finger but still making shots like that.. Wow
And ESPN ranked him 12th All-time. Kobe gave it all I don't care what anybody say easily in my top 5 disagree I don't care.
Kdog 81 I’m not mad at you putting him in your top five as long as Lebron is mentioned after him and not above him. For me he’s number Two after Jordan. I can’t see it any other way.
It’s like he studied Jordan his entire life.
He copied every move to the last detail.
Can’t separate Kobe from Jordan.
He will always follow right behind him no matter where you rank them. If Jordan is one then Kobe is two.
If Jordan is two then Kobe is three and so forth. Watching Kobe was literally like watching Jordan all over again.
Only difference was that Kobe was a better outside shooter to me.
But Jordan’s edge over Kobe only evident in one aspect. He never saw defeat in a championship. What level of mentality is that? But Kobe was right on his heels! Everyone else only saw their dust
He' second to MJ
CHRIS SAVAGE they like to bash Kobe for what he did to teams lmao. They hate on his legacy and his greatness. Real nba fans know how good he is.
@CHRIS SAVAGE True. Oh, FYI, Kobe was falsely accused of sexual assault in 2004. He didn't rape that girl. I saw the report. Just like how Derrick Rose was falsely accused of almost the same thing. Those two would never, and I mean NEVER in their lives, on God's green earth, do something so appalling, so terrible, so despicable!!
@@jonathanwilliams0824 Do U Know Them Personally
I swear the 2000s was the last great decade to watch this league
Aric Wilson- Not if you’re a Warriors fan! Holllaaa
Till 2016. Before kd ruined the league.
Larry Mays bandwagon
Its disgusting that the Nba thinks that nobody notices the league can already control the movement of the ball electromagnetically to go down the hoop or not, it was so obvious during the regular season of '12-13 when lebrons miami beat the spurs if i remember right.. from the start of the season until the playoffs, the ball hit the rim, then the center top of board, before going into the hoop.. it happened both either east or west it happens too often its disgusting, which tainted the skill credibility and stats of today's stars.. of course the nba made a lot of money from that foul technology, who would dare place their bet if the nba can control the ball, they would pay the nba extra money then everybody does it too, would you believe a prime derrick rose had a FG% of 2/17?? Technology destroyed the sport.. it has become an everybody happy socialistic enterprise, it was obvious that they experiment on different variety of manipulation to make it look realistic already, but during those games around '12-'13 season, it was disgusting to even look at, nobody challenges shots anymore, of course after this comment, they will try to revert it back to how it is, but the embarrassment has been done already, who would they be accountable to if nobody checks or test the actual ball or rim to be used free from electromagnetism, when lebron won his title with miami like that, i believe competitive bball was all over already, they hype it up with drama nowadays, they thought they can conceal the foul technology before my probing eyes, if you think "how did that go in?" You're eyes are right, and nobody tries heavy defense anymore just out shoot each other then go home with the money, unlike previous generations who worked their asses both offensively and defensively the millions of salary was worth paying, i hate the nba this decade, so i agree with you, the 2000s was the last of nba being pure competition of skills
Yeah and once the 2020s roll around you'll be saying the same thing about this decade
This is THE series that got me into the NBA and made me a Kobe fan. This dude was unconscious
Man, how I miss Kobe and those Lakers. They were SOLID! Kobe looked like a superhero when they announced him. I still can't believe my favorite player is gone...just like that. Smh!
2009 is the best version of Kobe Bryant. Every playoff game is a clinic!
The player has always winning mentality,Killer instinct,difficult shots,miss you always BlackMamba🐍
Way to set the tone 40-8-8 on a revenge finals series, that’s how you truly lead
No other player has ever played this game more beautiful as Kobe, not even MJ.
Kobe fans😂😂😂😂
Fact bro tho some pple hate kobe was a more talented player than Mike
@@hexagonoctogon3140 kobe could do anything shoot the ball while 3 defenders are on him
@@brandonsurreyguy I know that hes my fav player ever I'm saying mj was grace personified everything kobe was mj was better at except pure shooting and handle but like I'm tryna say mj was so graceful he didn't need handle or be a pure shooter or shoot over 3 4 5 people hell whole teams couldn't stop him
Facts.
You know it's true greatness when even your opponents gotta applaud your AND1 moves. RIP MAMBA!!
Every finals game was a Game 7 for Kobe.
Recently I have realized that I underappreciated Kobe and how truely great he was. Thank you TH-cam, his play will live on forever. RIP KOBE!!🙏🙌
watching this after Kobe's retirement
Lord!!! I miss you KOBE still seems unreal
2009 Kobe was hungry and he wouldn’t lose this finals. any team in the east would’ve gotten destroyed
we don't see plays like Kobe's anymore, its a real shame
This is prime mamba I miss you Kobe 😔
when the nba was awesome and competitive' kobe destroying every body
Mannnn how grateful I am for a opportunity to see some of MJ, ShaqKobe & LeBron !!!!!
I never saw prime mj live but all of Lal 5 chips
I was in 7th grade at this time, now I'm in college. I only watched the 08 and 10 finals in middle school, this one sucked but I was glad Kobe won. 2008 was the first time I watched a finals series.
sonofaballer96 Cool story bro
+sonofaballer96 Literally same thing with me lol
Same here bro...thats when i fell in love with kobe basketball game
@@BugOnAChip thank you
Anyone who believes Lebron is better than Kobe can only use that argument with stats as their proof. Numbers. But stats can never tell the whole story.
We don’t watch the game for stats and we don’t become fans by stats. What happens during the game is why we love the game. And seeing Kobe work on that court. And actually seeing him instill fear in his opponents. Witnessing him takeover the game and being unstoppable. Stats don’t record the undying will of a player. It doesn’t record fear and the choke factor that we “witnessed “ in Lebron James! Don’t use numbers as an argument. I never saw Kobe choke once in his whole career. I saw Lebron choke too many times. That alone disqualified him as the goat. Great and excellent player yes. But goat NEVER!!!
Asiatic Born so 💯💯💯💯💯👻🥃👍🎉🎊🍾🎈🎁👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Give it a rest we all love kobe Nigga but lebron is Just BETTER
I love Kobe but he has choked in his career
Asiatic Born Difference is Kobe plays at a much higher level and much more energy expended than Lebron but hasn’t reaped the rewards that half-ass Lebron has reaped.
A LITTLE Finesse chokedhow/when?
I'm going to stop watching kobe highlights. I get emotional even after over 2 years since he been gone.
God we miss u Kobe 😢
Kobe was the real clutch shooter.. Idol Kobe bryant,big fan of you here
Magic learned the difference of Kobe and Labron that year lmao.
Uvuvwevwevwe Onyetenyevwe Ugwemubwem Ossas labron
Lmmfbaooo
LeBron put up the same numbers lol Lakers defense was better.
Surfin' Brain Kobe defensively was better also
Surfin' Brain nah lebron just scores in the first half not when its needed
Greatest player Of all time 💯
RIP KOBE ONE OF THE GREATEST......
Multiple moves change angles and release height on jump shot things that really aren't noticed till after the fact. Very strong and smart to think on the fly. One of the 3 best ever!! Period!!!!!
Hard to believe this is 6 years ago.
+00Mindi00 7 years now
+Wael Dassouki close to 7 years
+CSC It's 7 years now
almost 8 years ago
00Mindi00 What happened to Stan van Gundy during those years?
I will never forget what he did to Portland over and over again!! Kobe was on another level bro at times I couldn’t believe my eyes! we miss you KB24🙏🏾
Have San Antonio fits, too!
Exorcised his demons in Denver.
Destroyed the myth that he couldn't win without Shaq.
The blazers were up 16 in the 4th in that game 7, and Kobe was the Laker player who came down and hit tough shot after tough shot, then started hitting open guys and closing the gap, until Kobe finally hit the shot to take the lead on pippen, before closing it by crossing pippen and lobbing it to Shaq. This is why Kobe is better than LeBron, how many times have we seen LeBron fold when his team is down? Even the heat game they won with ray Allen, ray Allen was the guy on the heat team who didn't quit, kept fighting, and brought the life back to the heat. Kobe was always the spark for the Lakers.
solid kobe fan still watching 02/07/19💪💪💪💪
"likes" if you came to watch this highlight after kobe announced his retirement
KOBE BEAN BRYANT THE GOAT BABY
agreed #respect
My list of best basketball players
1. Micheal Jordan ( Aka Goat)
2. Kareem Abdul Jabbar
3. Kobe
2nd to MJ
This kobe is a beauty to watch. How time flies. Lakers fans are lucky to have this GOAT. He is no second banana to MJ, my idol too.
before i go to play ball i watch classic Kobe highlights.. gets me into that Mamba Mentality 🔥🔥💯
Respect and love to the Bryants, friends and fans from a non-fan.
He was very special.
His attitude towards the game was always what I loved about kobe.
11:13 Move was so good, even Jameer Nelson was applauding lol
@2:30 Gave me chills. A kobe highlight with michael jackson's thriller. RIP to both legends.
Kobe is a kind of a man who can casually walk by while being applauded by Jack Nicholson. 11:59
even jamir nelson applauded kobe..
Anyone know why they stopped painting the championship trophy at center court for finals games? I wish they still did that it, it looked so cool.
+ Noogai17 Players were slipping on the material so they removed it for safety reasons :P
+noogai17 It sucks how they removed the playoff logo now. It doesn't feel official anymore.
rjcarless 😂😂😂
Because the league isn't competitive anymore
RIP KOBE YOU THE FUCKIN MAN DUDE
This will forever be my fav Kobe performance. This game just epitomized the type of person he was. The long road after his 3rd championship, the heartbreak from the 08 finals, I just knew as he was putting on this show I was thinking "Oh, they're winning this championship for sure". You could see that nobody was going to get in his way in these finals, and he was locked in. One of those "Wow, I'm watching something special right now" moments. R.I.P Kobe. Love you and never will be forgotten.
The degree of difficulty on most these shots are insane
He should have had like 5 more +1 called the way he was getting hit on some of these shots too
One of the best games to show where Kobe turned into a killer. Love it
Kobe is A LEGEND he would still be remembered 50 yrs from today for sure!
Lebron? i dunno! he always celebrate on his shots and teammates very early
THIS was the year that the Cavs and Lakers coulda met in the finals. Damn, another NBA "What If" story...
Watch how Pietrus was contesting Kobe's shots,almost every single one of them is a foul and Mamba doesn't even asking a foul on the contact from refs.He just puts them in.NBA nowdays is a floping contest,such a disapointment...
FACTSSSSS!
I agree. I wish Kobe got as many foul calls like Jordan did especially in the NBA Finals. If you study the Chicago Bulls championship run they got all of the benefit of the doubt on most of the calls especially MJ every game because the NBA was marketing them to always win for their brand in the 1990's. I truly feel the league ordered all of the referees to target Kobe after those rape accusations. If Kobe got a lot of the foul calls he deserved he would have averaged above 40+ points per game in most of his NBA Finals appearances because yes he was just as good as MJ if not better at times for what he was up against in general. R.I.P. GOAT! 💔
Yup. Most of the kids have no idea.
Take advantage of the rules brother. That's not kids play. Iq bro, iq plays
hard to believe this was a decade ago
Yea man i was 24 years old at the time, time really flew by quick
Kobe definitely top 3 best careers.. and to real basketball fans definitely number 1 most talented player EVER
I remember in 08 Kobe was joking and taking it easy on everyone this was the pissed off Kobe
Masterpiece 👍
Thank you Kobe from Taiwan
Big thanks to TH-cam for showing this epic game in my recommended video list and recalling my memories on Kobe's crazy performance. R.I.P. Kobe. You are my hero forever. Mambacita
I really miss Kobe Bryant.
Me too 😭😭
mann that hurts😪
We miss him even more that he's gone from this world 😭💔
He truly was a Hero
This is the prime monster Kobe!
Kobe was just a savage after they lost the year before. They didnt take it as serious that year with boston. Go look at the regular season game when they played boston...the wore the 1980s short shorts.
This was the year LeBron was suppose to face Kobe. LeBron wanted no part of Kobe that year
To me, Wade is a better match for him than Lebron.
@@atlaslion5128 are you a fucking pringle
Steve Hooker No, I am a Dorito.
@@atlaslion5128 🤣🤣🤣
A dream finals match up we never had 😭
I think he would be known as the best player ever, received more accolades than he has. Genuinely a good guy also …the Colorado charge lingered
Still can't believe the tragedy happen to him.
One of the Greatest player of all time.
RIP KOBE
MAMBA OUT
You could see the determination in his eyes..... he was on a mission
He averaged like 8 assists this series too when the whole team averaged like 15 hahaha
RIP. His legend will live on forever
Missed you when you left the league and missing you more that you're gone, rip to the only hero I have ever had in life
The biggest disrespect is any soul saying this man isn’t at at least top 5 all time. Who had this mans skill set besides Jordan? Can’t nobody score the ball the way Kobe can.
If you say so
NBA needs to bring back these entrances for the finals. Have players walk out like that. Now they don’t even walk out.
I'm watching this in 2018 but damn...I wish LeBron made it that year. It sucks we were deprived of a Kobe lebron finals. Kobe made the finals from 2008-2010. Lebron from 2011-2018. They were so close. Legends should be playing each other in the finals.
His Dedication,God he is one of a kind...Shoutout to this Amazing Legend you may rest in paradise along with your sweetest Daughter Gigi and 7 others who passed away on that horrible accident🥺There will never be another Black Mamba💔😢😭
the shots kobe takes in this game are super well contested somehow still manages to make it look easy.
