RIP!!!!❤️ TO THE MAMBA! 🐍 I grew up dirt poor a couple blocks away from the staple center. I remember we would watch the championship parades from our balcony which pointed towards the staples center. Me and my 5 brothers and sisters. I can honestly say I've never really jumped for joy in the life I lived in the streets of downtown LA but when I watched Kobe I was the happiest kid. I remember lying to my parents that my stomach hurt so I didn't have to go to church and stay home and watch Kobe play on Kcal9 which was a blessing because in those times it was a free channel to watch the games. When I was forced to go to church we would tell my dad to put the game on the radio to hear the game brodcast as soon as we got in the van. Growing up was hard, violent, scary, but getting on that court and tryna ball n win like Kobe was something that I can't describe but I don't think I've ever been as Happy or peaceful. You wouldn't believe it if I told you.... Now that I'm older and a father I know I must apply mamba mentality and succeed with my family KOBE FOREVER!❤️
when Kobe was 27, he scored 81. 62 in 3 quarters. he had 9 straight 40+points games. he had 13 straight 35+ points games. Kobe could shoot and had great footwork since he entered the league.
I always hated Kobe because he killed my teams suns over and over and over. But now that he’s gone I can’t help but to appreciate how amazing it was to watch a guy playing with literally half his body broken and hurt dominate the league. He didn’t care how many shots he took.. his will to win it didn’t matter how much of a cushion we had. Every time he shot to reel his team back in I couldn’t help but to feel nervous. His ability to make insane shots no one should ever make is just simply amazing. I didn’t grow up shooting a crazy shot yelling any other name but Kobe’s... Thank you Kobe for what you did for basketball
The most complete player in the game, plain and simple. Kobe's arsenal was unmatched, he could score at will from any spot on the floor... even if a defender thought he had him locked up, he made those tough shots look easy. Not to mention, his form was poetry in motion.
the reason why we can get to enjoy this man's great shooting skills is not becuz he has the talent or because he's special. its because of the thousands of hours he has put into the gym
Nice vid. Just relax and enjoy. ) These shoots are not those crazy off balanced ones, rather good and solid. Beatiful execution - this type of plays can easily make you 30 ppg. This is what should be admired also!
Kobe should open a footwork clinic when he retires. Tim Duncan's nickname is the "Big Fundamental," but I believe that Kobe is the most fundamentally sound player in the game today. It's really fun to watch him down on the block.
I'm a Laker fan but honestly, that doesn't mean much. Kobe has already played more games and more seasons than MJ. And MJ missed the season on his 2nd year because of an injury, not to mention the fact that he retired multiple times. Oh and did I forget to mention that he played college ball? At his usual pace, give MJ the same # seasons as Kobe and I'm willing to bet that MJ will pass Kareem on the all time scoring list handily. I'm a Laker fan but I'm an NBA fan first.
@JackOfAllTrades I never tried to imply that Kobe is the better player when compared to Jordan,obviously when it coes to all around basketbalk skills Jordan wins.I'm not the only one saying that eventually Kobe will pass him on the list lol that's all I said.
Galaxy Party When did I say that Kobe wasn't amazing at any age? Kobe was a late bloomer. Sure he had the potential early on but he had to develop because he was so young when he got into the league. Kobe's gone a long way from when he got those 3 airballs against Utah back in the 90s. But still, passing MJ on the all time scoring list when Kobe has already played more seasons and games than MJ is not really an argument in favor of Kobe. Not saying you guys explicitly said that but when people go around stating stuff like that, the underlying tone is usually "Kobe is better than MJ." That is far from the truth.
That's you're state of mind,but I also dislike MJ D riders who are so blind they can't see beyond his nuts.I'l go ahead and say that Reggie Miller was a much better 3-point shooter than Jordan,but I guess you'll deny that as well.
This dude deserved to see his daughter play in the WNBA. Kobe’s honestly my goat and that’s with much understanding of the MJ era. He had the star power, hype and athleticism but why Kobe’s game appeared to be so fundamentally sound and beautiful to watch is beyond me. He learned from many, not just MJ
this music is comparable how Kobe sees his opponents whole game, while his opponents are having the game of their lives, but Kobe just chillin whole game and thinking "I ain't tryin... but if i would want to, then I could win 5 more rings"
This last Lakers championship wack....kb made it all interesting.!! Lebron didn't even really honor Kobe with this ring....!! Not these same vibe in la anymore.😔 Just saying
@JL-CptAtom he's always been accommodated with superstars around him,.....something they never did for Kobe, all they ever game him was pau gasol.!! Lebron ain't no king,.....😂!! Kb 24 king mamba.....
Kobe is pretty much unguardable. He has an excellent mid range game. That's something Lebron has to work on. As you see Kobe has a very consistent turn around jumper in the post.
kobe is as close to mj in terms of finesse and mastering the art of the fade away jumpshot, fakes, etc.. I'm a big laker fan but I don't hate lebron - no idea why people would hate, they're different players and I appreciate the entertainment and passion they bring to the game. grow up.
You notice how you see exactly zero of the bullshit step backs that all of todays "elite" scores used to get wide open looks. Just hard work, technique, and body positioning to get his shots off clean. Thats basketball at its purest.
I feel bad for anyone guarding Kobe. The widest skill set in the game with superior footwork.
Ace as well as superior athleticism
most beautiful shooting form I've ever seen
yea
Carmelo
I know
JBRONX yeah Melo too
Sure
Players were trying so hard while guarding Bryant, you never see that while they guard other players
Cause they would get embarrased if they don't give their best

Damn, I miss Kobe 😥
Me too, rip kobe
Mann hits different
Tupac+Basketball+LA=Perfect
Angelo Santos 🐐
the way defensive players guarded kobe makes him take difficult shots and that alone is the reason why his shooting average is being bashed everytime
Finally someone gets it.
Most skilled player of all time.
-Chauncey Billups
GOAT. Hater's always hate.
True
He is goat. Mj is King of the all goat
Watching Kobe highlights helps with depression, back when life was simple.
The best scorer ever
True
when Kobe was 27, he scored 81. 62 in 3 quarters. he had 9 straight 40+points games. he had 13 straight 35+ points games. Kobe could shoot and had great footwork since he entered the league.
His jumpshot is pure poetry. Masterpiece.
All I can do is smile , relax to the music and enjoy watching one the greatest to ever do it

Kobe Bryant amazing skill shooting
Any guard who can work in the low post in that fashion is unreal. Kobe mastered the game.
Back to the basket, face up, moving, stationary, one dribble, multiple dribbles...none of it matters. Just too many weapons.
the reason why we can get to enjoy this man's great shooting skills is not becuz he has the talent or because he's special. its because of the thousands of hours he has put into the gym

Kobe just has this finesse, this swagger. It's hard to watch him play and say he's not the best there ever was. IT's just a pleasure to watch.
Kobe's shooting form is top 5 coolest / pretiest imo
I used to watch this video every single day in 2011 and 2012. Just so heartbroken right now..
Kobe should open a footwork clinic when he retires. Tim Duncan's nickname is the "Big Fundamental," but I believe that Kobe is the most fundamentally sound player in the game today. It's really fun to watch him down on the block.
He'll pass Jordan on the all time scoring list soon.

Jackofalltrades, you still got to admit that the stuff that Kobe did at such a young age is just simply amazing.

I will miss Kobe when he retires. Mush respect with this man.
Best player I’ve ever seen
Amazing how Kobe played from 2010-2011 without cartilage in his knees
I can watch this all day
Beautiful poetry. Best shot creator ever.
Princess James will never be on Kobe's level.
Yeah becoz he is on a higher level
This last Lakers championship wack....kb made it all interesting.!! Lebron didn't even really honor Kobe with this ring....!! Not these same vibe in la anymore.😔 Just saying
@JL-CptAtom he's always been accommodated with superstars around him,.....something they never did for Kobe, all they ever game him was pau gasol.!! Lebron ain't no king,.....😂!! Kb 24 king mamba.....
Truth
Kobe 6 the best basketball shoe still to this day 🔥💯

Rip kobe
Nice vid. Kobe has all the moves.
Thanks 4 the vid.... Watching him can help improve my shooting
Great mix, keep making vids like this showing his midrange shot, because there aren't enough of them.
2:39 what a great move
I really like your shooting skills kobe. Good work!
Kobe is pretty much unguardable. He has an excellent mid range game. That's something Lebron has to work on. As you see Kobe has a very consistent turn around jumper in the post.
love the video btw, we all can learn something new from Kobe :)
yeah, that's "Picture Me Rollin'"!!!
great song))
A thing a beauty to see the variety of jumpers this guy can make look routine.
This song is so chill.
Stan Marsh Tupac Picture me rolling
RIP LEGEND ! HALL OF GOD IS WAITING YOU !
the greatest basketball player ever shooting to the beat of the greatest rapper. Westside, LA. picture me rolling and winning 2-3 more rings
Nice compilation!
Only thing wrong with the video is it’s too short. I could watch a whole hour of this. Music is on point!
kobe is as close to mj in terms of finesse and mastering the art of the fade away jumpshot, fakes, etc.. I'm a big laker fan but I don't hate lebron - no idea why people would hate, they're different players and I appreciate the entertainment and passion they bring to the game. grow up.
Simply the best!
RIP KOBE THE BLACK MAMBA .. MAN YOUR GAME WAS SO BEAUTIFUL TO WATCH 😔😔😔😔
He is maybe not the greatest...but he is surely the most fun player to watch
Kobe just a one of the best Lakers players and player of the world
this is beautiful
Gifted!!!
no one in the NBA now could beat Kobe one on one
Dope video
IMO He is the most complete player in NBA history.
You notice how you see exactly zero of the bullshit step backs that all of todays "elite" scores used to get wide open looks. Just hard work, technique, and body positioning to get his shots off clean. Thats basketball at its purest.
KOBE IS THE BEST MAKING DIFFICULT SHOTS.
