Once in a while during this season, just like he did tonight , Kobe will remind the league and the people too never forget his name, play, killer instinct, or legacy. One of the greats..
Kobe has fans everywhere. One thing I respect about Kobe fans is that their loyal no matter what. I really respect that. Mamba will be missed. Greatest Laker of All Time #MambaMentality #Philly
+jaimedavila1 Sorry bud, but you're wrong. *Duncan has the better accolades* True, but most accolades don't mean shit when their voted by the idiotic media. *He not only was a great scorer, but was a phenomenal rebounder and defensive player* Kobe is a *MUCH* superior scorer and his defense is right up there with him. Dude is considered the greatest perimeter defender of the 2000s. And while Duncan is a better rebounder, Kobe is a better passer. *His Spurs have never had a season with 50 or less wins* True, but his spurs never had Kwame Brown, Smush Parker, Luke Walton as *STARTERS*. As soon as a *BORDERLINE Tier- 3 star* joined, the lakers instantly became a GOAT-like team. That's all he needed, just one of a handful of 18/10 guys. They probably would've had the same success with Zach Randolph lol. Kobe is a much much superior player in terms of impact. His scoring abilities were so lethal, whole defenses would collapse on him. A much much better scorer. The only thing Duncan has on Kobe is defense and that's by a hair. And as shown during his amazing 2009 playoff run, he's able to win a chip with much less. So to conclude it, Kobe = better scorer by a big margin Kobe = won with much less Duncan = better defender by a hair Kobe >>>>>>> Duncan
+Mamba Wiggins I swear people are just looking for ways to downplay Kobe. Like c'mon, Duncan got a FREE ring from LBJ's horrible team in 06. The same people who would rank LBJ and Duncan over Kobe are the same people who "don't count" LBJ's loss in 06 but won't admit that duncan got a freebie.
***** Kobe didn't influence anything.. And LeBron has influenced all these current NBA stars you see coming up that can play multiple positions. Paul George, KD, even Westbrook, Harden, etc.
+Hello Samuel LeBron in hisw own words:" I always wanted to be like Kobe... I wouldn't be the player i am without him. He was my motivation" It's very stupid honestly seeing LeBron fans hate on kobe. Lol their favorite player idolizes the player they hate
You telling me this man can't contribute another year. I wish this lakers team was good and actually treated their stars like the Spurs. We would one more year to see Bean man.
+Primetime Sanders Yeah, but Kobe wants to retire at top level. U're right on the lakers tho, shame they haven't been on his level since 2011 actually...
+Primetime Sanders We're all trapped in this Kobe retiring syndrome. Everybody who is the least objective and logical realizes he can't go 82 games like he used to. He can't play consistent defense for the whole game and cannot create easy shots for him. Last night, a lot of tough ones went in, but as we've seen so far this season most nights don't go in. He's got nothing left to prove. He's always wanted to play and be the hero and he did so many years. But his body can't do that any more so no, he cannot go another year, because he cannot resume to a spot up shooter / off ball player role.
All the money in the world. Past 2 seasons ending injuries. Everyone tells this man to retire. What else he has to prove? Balling on guys half his age could vacate wherever but his love for basketball and what he has is not taken for granted. Truly a man that comes once in a Lifetime. KB and MJ. 1 and 1a in my book.
It's just so excited to see him play like that!! I was right there and I almost roll down the stairs when he hit that clutch fade away because of excitement! Legend lives forever!!
KOBE! YOU WILL ALWAYS BE THE GREATEST IN MY BOOK. I HAVE REALLY ENJOYED WATCHING YOU OVER THE YEARS. JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW I HAVE APPRECIATED YOUR TALENT. YOU HAVE BEEN FUN TO WATCH MY DEAR. I KNOW THAT YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU WANT BUT I THINK YOU SHOULD COACH A HIGH SCHOOL TEAM. THERE WOULD BE AS MANY PEOPLE IN THAT GYM AS THE STAPLE CENTER I THINK YOU WOULD BE AN INSPIRATION TO A LOT OF YONG KIDS WHO REALLY NEED A ROLE MODEL TO STAY ON THE RIGHT PATH. LOVE YOU KOBE. TAKE CARE. PAT LOVE
Those crazy post moves, those CLUTCH shots in the 4th, the road crowd cheering his name throughout the WHOLE damn game. Soak it in, people.. Jordan and Kobe are the only people in NBA history who can do this.
hshshshshshshs Obviously... Who else would get this kind of reception though? MAYBE LeBron when he retires.. but honestly it wont be anywhere near Jordan and Kobe level. Not even close.
hshshshshshshs lol are you kidding me? Steve Nash never got a reception on the road anywhere near Kobe and MJ level. And I'm talking even before Kobe/MJ announced retirement. 80%+ of road games had CRAZY pro Kobe crowds. Same with Jordan.
Amazing. I'm getting chills over here. Hard work eventually come through for you if you keep at it no matter what adversity you are going through. Kobe showed that today. Better than MJ or not, kobe gave it his all and more. In the end , that's all we can ask for from our top performers. Salut kobe.
Mannnnnn. Just limit his minutes and he could play a couple more years! Please!!!! I really am gonna miss this guy. This just ain't right the way he's going out. He should be going out a winner
not gonna lie, I got tears in my eyes watching him hit those clutch shots and hear those fans screaming for him. He's given so much for the game. Amazing game; let's do it again.
Definitely can contribute another year. It's just the team they have right now isn't going anywhere. There isn't enough time for Kobe :/ Gonna miss the guy. Top 10 player for sure.
cant wait for tomorrows game in atlanta..we all know whenever kobes playing in atlanta,it became staples center east..its going to be much crazier there..
ladies and gentlemen the word of the night.... UNBELIEVABLE!!!

I respect him a lot more then lebron. Someone who doesn't makes excuses and will play his heart out every game
Colton Johnson amen!
+Colton Johnson I respect them equally and they both play their hearts out.
I was at this game and it was unreal. I’m from DC but that crowd was 85% Kobe fans and he did what he does. I can’t say thank you enough to that man.

Kobe is still better.
31 points playing on the 2nd night of a back to back. i will miss you black mamba :(

Was at this game. Surreal. Best live sporting event of my life. Kobe #2 all time. RIP 🙏
Kobe is a legend man look at all those fans lebron will never get his name chanted like that , it's gon be a sad day when Kobe is officially retired
+TheButler DidIT Y are you sooo obsessed with LBJ, you still butt hurt he didnt go to Chicago and you got stuck with crippled Rose
+whydouneedakno um Rose isn't crippled
+whydouneedakno your dumbass can''t stop hating on kobe in every video yet you call someone being obsessed
umm bro.. when its lebrons time to retire.. he ll be even more adored. ppl dont respect greatness until its gone for some reason
***** Kobe didn't influence anything.. And LeBron has influenced all these current NBA stars you see coming up that can play multiple positions. Paul George, KD, even Westbrook, Harden, etc.
I was at this game. The energy in the building was crazy.
ENJOY HIS FINAL SPECIAL NBA MOMENTS WHILE IT LASTS.
Crazy looking at this comment now years later rest in paradise kobe bean
We did. We enjoyed his final moments on this planet and we will never forget what he meant to us.
Kobe was one of a very few that had a huge road following. Some road games felt like home games.
Even as a huge lebron fan, it's great to see Kobe have a good game. 2nd Greatest SG of all time! He was & still is great for the nba
100% with you on that one
if you're a lebron fan it doesn't mean you have to be a kobe hater and vica versa.
+hshshshshshshs yea but most people think lebron fans hate Kobe or don't respect Kobe
LeBron and kobe Loves each other but Not their fans lol
+Hello Samuel LeBron in hisw own words:" I always wanted to be like Kobe... I wouldn't be the player i am without him. He was my motivation"

Can't believe his career is coming to an end. Men I'll miss his game so much especially the unpredictability of it.
KOBEEEE!!!!!! I have the widest smile I ever had I swear .
so did I! lol
Was at this game. It was a special night. Underrated performance.

all home games for Kobe for the rest of the season....similar to the good old days where every away game had an "MVP! ...MVP!...MVP!" chant for him
Kobe went off great to see him play at a high level this late in his career

HE'S SHOWING THE WORLD WHY HE'S ONE OF THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!
The Washington Wizard's commentator was VERY SOLID with commentating Kobe's shots. It made the Video
UNBELIEVABLE!!!!
I start watching basketball this season but I knew before Kobe is a legend and seeing him playing like that makes me smile constantly .
Kobe Bryant 2016 MVP ??
Hell yeah goat

I'll miss Kobe when he's gone. Thank u for all the memories both playoff and regular season. As well as in the olympics
#ThanksKobeFinishStrong
It's just so excited to see him play like that!! I was right there and I almost roll down the stairs when he hit that clutch fade away because of excitement! Legend lives forever!!
Kobe still got it. #KillerKobe
now every away game is a home game for Kobe, cause everyone is there to see him play.
Last 4 mins was flashback to vintage mamba. Hated him growing up because I was a rockets fan but I always respected his game and competitiveness.
I smiled the whole time watching this , I will miss Kobe . Man he's a legend. #Respect
KOBE! YOU WILL ALWAYS BE THE GREATEST IN MY BOOK. I HAVE REALLY ENJOYED WATCHING YOU OVER THE YEARS. JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW I HAVE APPRECIATED YOUR TALENT. YOU HAVE BEEN FUN TO WATCH MY DEAR. I KNOW THAT YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU WANT BUT I THINK YOU SHOULD COACH A HIGH SCHOOL TEAM. THERE WOULD BE AS MANY PEOPLE IN THAT GYM AS THE STAPLE CENTER I THINK YOU WOULD BE AN INSPIRATION TO A LOT OF YONG KIDS WHO REALLY NEED A ROLE MODEL TO STAY ON THE RIGHT PATH. LOVE YOU KOBE. TAKE CARE. PAT LOVE
I'm not a Kobe fan and never was but his greatness cannot be denied. cold blooded killer!
"this is Kobe"
i like this word they said. it tells everything.
Games like this from KB bring a tear in my eye.
what a game for kobe bryant.....
My Wizards played like some cold shit...
How y'all beat the Cavs & then lose to a team that lost to the Sixers? 😂😂😂
+Yung Shonen cause Kobe > Lebum
+Chen Liu lmao fr
+Chen Liu no
because kobe finally showed up
best laker ever that fadeaway and killer instinct .
every court is my home court. by kobe
Those crazy post moves, those CLUTCH shots in the 4th, the road crowd cheering his name throughout the WHOLE damn game. Soak it in, people.. Jordan and Kobe are the only people in NBA history who can do this.
lol how can you say that.. if kobe didn't tell anyone so early that he's gonna retire there wouldn't be so much chearing.
hshshshshshshs Obviously...
Who else would get this kind of reception though? MAYBE LeBron when he retires.. but honestly it wont be anywhere near Jordan and Kobe level. Not even close.
Steve Nash would get the crowd cheering for example.
hshshshshshshs lol are you kidding me? Steve Nash never got a reception on the road anywhere near Kobe and MJ level. And I'm talking even before Kobe/MJ announced retirement.
80%+ of road games had CRAZY pro Kobe crowds. Same with Jordan.
Kobe looking like a true teammate for the first time in his career.
Appreciate greatness.
Those last couple shots were clutch
I swear Kobe has more fans than the Lakers.
And every road game is gonna be like this. Legend.
The crowd chants are fucking epic! KOBE! KOBE! KOBE! KOBE!
When Dirk retires it will officially be the end of an era. I don't know what will become of my interest in the NBA.
Andy P FACTS
Glad I got to experience this live
Amazing. I'm getting chills over here. Hard work eventually come through for you if you keep at it no matter what adversity you are going through. Kobe showed that today. Better than MJ or not, kobe gave it his all and more. In the end , that's all we can ask for from our top performers. Salut kobe.
I believe you, my hero .
Incredible game from Kobe, Nostalgic.

Black mamba!!!! thank you for all the great years

If he gets more games like this I wont be surprised if doesnt retire
Mannnnnn. Just limit his minutes and he could play a couple more years! Please!!!! I really am gonna miss this guy. This just ain't right the way he's going out. He should be going out a winner
THERE IS MJ, THAN KOBE, THAN EVERYONE ELSE
not gonna lie, I got tears in my eyes watching him hit those clutch shots and hear those fans screaming for him. He's given so much for the game. Amazing game; let's do it again.

+Mauro Merthin Muroni My opinion.
Michael Jordan >> everyone
Lebron James >> Kobe
My opinion
+Jose Lechuga
Switch Lebron and Kobe and that'd change from opinion to fact.
+Mamba Wiggins still wouldn't be a fact
unbelievable!
Amazing to see an opponent crowd cheer so loudly for Kobe when he scores, just goes to show the impact he had. Sucks he has to leave.
Second best of all time in my books!
Kobe Kobe Kobe!
